When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Meanwhile, at the martial arts training ground of Linchuan Martial Arts University.

A fierce wind swept across the land, and the bigwigs from all sides stood with their hands behind their backs, but the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

"Hahaha!"

"President Zhao, President Wei, you're too kind!"

The city's chief executive, Lu Chenshan, let out a hearty laugh that echoed across the playground.

Long Yuan, the president of the Linchuan Martial Arts Association, standing to the side, couldn't suppress a smile, looking as if he had become ten years younger.

In contrast, Wei Changhe, president of the Wujiang City Martial Arts Association, and Zhao Kuanghai, president of the Rongcheng City Martial Arts Association, looked even more disgusted than if they had swallowed flies!

Following their gaze, a screen was erected above the playground, displaying the points leaderboard!

[First Place: Linchuan City, Jiang Feng – 12911 points!]

[Second Place: Rongcheng City, Ye Junlin – 12011 points!]

[Third Place: Wujiang City, Li Changsheng – 11099 points!]

……

"How is that possible?!"

"Ye Junlin was actually overshadowed by Jiang Feng?"

"How could a small place like Linchuan City possibly produce such a monster!"

Zhao Kuanghai was filled with resentment, his back teeth practically grinding to powder.

However, no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, the facts were undeniable.

Lu Chenshan unceremoniously reached out and took the bet from the two men.

On the left is a [Millennial Purple Blood Spirit Mushroom], its entire body shrouded in purple poisonous miasma.

In his right hand was the natal soul crystal of a sixth-tier king-level beast, the [Raging Fire Lion], radiating violent flames!

Even a sixth-rank Martial King would be envious of these two treasures.

Watching them fall into Lu Chenshan's hands, Zhao Kuanghai and Wei Changhe felt their hearts bleed.

At this moment, Yun Muge, the principal of Linchuan Martial Arts University, who was standing in the center, appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was also filled with turbulent waves.

"Jiang Feng... how did he do that?"

She remembered clearly that until half an hour ago, Ye Junlin had firmly held the first place.

But in that half hour, Jiang Feng's points suddenly skyrocketed!

"A gain of several thousand points... Could it be that he killed three peak fifth-tier beasts at the last moment?"

Just as the bigwigs had different thoughts.

"Buzz!"

The void above the playground distorted, and spatial rifts suddenly tore open, with blinding white light descending like a meteor shower.

The secret realm has opened!

As the white light faded, hundreds of young figures fell onto the playground.

"Good! Very good!"

Seeing this, Huang Zhen, vice president of the Jiangnan Provincial Wushu Association, stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

With his sharp eyes, he could tell at a glance that although these trainees were all injured and dressed in rags, the naivety of inexperience had faded, replaced by a strong aura of blood and killing intent.

This is precisely the significance of this secret realm trial!

However, Huang Zhen's smile froze on his face before it could fully bloom.

"etc!"

Yun Muge's expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"The numbers are wrong! How come so many people are missing?!"

Upon hearing this, the bigwigs seemed to wake up from a dream.

There were originally nearly 500 students who entered the secret realm, but now only a little over 300 are standing here.

There were over a hundred students who didn't come out!

"Where's Jiang Feng?! Where is Jiang Feng?!"

Long Yuan's powerful mental energy swept across the entire area in an instant, but he couldn't find the figure that he was so proud of, and he immediately panicked.

"Hoshino! Where's Kofu? Why didn't he come out with you?"

He rushed to Xiao Xingye and the others in an instant and asked anxiously.

Xiao Xingye suddenly raised his head, his face covered in blood and dust.

His eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, and his voice was trembling with suppressed sobs: "Brother Jiang Feng... he went to rescue Shen Weilan alone to cover for us!"

"What?!"

Longyuan was struck as if by lightning.

On the other side, Zhao Kuanghai was also like an ant on a hot pan, frantically scrambling through the crowd: "Where's Guan Yi? Where's Yan Wusheng?! How come two of my Seven Heroes of Rongcheng are missing!"

You must understand that Liu Guanyi and Yan Wusheng are not only treasures of Rongcheng, but also promising talents that the province is paying close attention to. If they were to be ruined, he, as the chairman, would be held responsible!

Zhao Kuanghai, his eyes red with anxiety, rushed to Ye Junlin: "Junlin, have you seen those two?!"

However, Ye Junlin seemed to be possessed, staring intently at the leaderboard on the screen.

Staring at the top-ranked character "Jiang Feng," his eyes were filled with resentment!

"Damn Jiang Feng... why?!"

"I, Ye Junlin, have slain so many strange beasts. In the end, what makes you think you can surpass me?!"

Feng Changge sighed and stepped forward to explain, "President Zhao, we have been hunting high-level alien beasts with the captain and have not encountered Liu Guanyi and Yan Wusheng."

Just now.

"Stop looking!"

An angry roar rang out!

Xiao Xingye suddenly turned around and pointed directly at Zhao Kuanghai: "Your Rongcheng's prodigies, Liu Guanyi and Yan Wusheng... are nothing but cult lackeys!!"

"boom!"

These words were like a bombshell detonating on the playground!

Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed.

Xiao Xingye's eyes were bloodshot as he roared through gritted teeth, "They captured dozens of students, drained their blood, all to activate the Blood Demon Altar! To unleash [Abyss]!"

"【deep】?!"

Huang Zhen felt his hair stand on end, and a terrifying aura of a Martial King suddenly erupted!

"Bang!"

He instantly covered a hundred meters, grabbed Xiao Xingye by the collar, his eyes bloodshot, his voice filled with terror and rage: "What did you just say?"

Zhao Kuanghai was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly: "No... impossible! How could Guan Yi and his group be a cult..."

Xiao Xingye suppressed the urge to vomit blood and, with a bitter smile, recounted in detail what had happened in the secret realm:

"The Purple Scorpion Sect and the Blood Vulture Gang have infiltrated the secret realm and are hunting down talented individuals on a large scale..."

"If Brother Jiang Feng hadn't killed five elders of the Purple Scorpion Sect and even cleaved Blood Vulture Gang leader Tu Biao in two on the spot, we would all be dead by now!"

"Later, we discovered that Liu Guanyi, Shan Yan, and Yan Wusheng were the masterminds behind it all!"

"They sacrificed the lives of their students to the Blood Demon Altar... We fought desperately to stop them, and although we interrupted the sacrifice, the incomplete 'Abyss' still managed to enter Liu Guanyi's body."

"Finally, a giant hand reached out from the void and grabbed Liu Guanyi!"

silence.

A deathly silence.

He killed five elders in succession?

Kill the gang leader?

Cult altar?

A giant hand in the void?

The sheer volume of information was overwhelming, leaving the important figures present feeling utterly bewildered.

Many of the trainees who miraculously survived in the secret realm were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

"Damn it... damn it!!!"

Huang Zhen completely lost it.

His entire body was wreaking havoc with internal energy.

What was supposed to be a trial for geniuses has turned into a slaughterhouse for demonic and evil people!

He whirled around, staring intently at Yun Muge: "Principal Yun! This secret realm was provided by your Linchuan Martial Arts University! I need an explanation!!!"

Yun Muge's pretty face was also deathly pale at this moment.

"Impossible... The security and formation maintenance of the secret realm have always been handled entirely by my most trusted assistant."

"To ensure absolute fairness, the entrance was sealed off half a month in advance. Even I haven't been inside. How could so many demonic forces be lurking there?!"

"Where's your assistant?!"

Long Yuan shouted angrily from the side.

Yun Muge suddenly turned her head, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, a chill suddenly rising in her heart.

She clenched her fists so tightly her nails almost pierced her palms, her voice trembling: "My assistant... said two days ago that he was unwell and hasn't returned to school yet."

betray!

A blatant betrayal!

They were stabbed in the back by their own people, which even caused the human race to lose nearly a hundred of their prodigies!

"Great...very good!"

Huang Zhen laughed in fury, his eyes turning completely cold.

If it were a demonic force, that would be one thing.

It involves the "Abyss".

This is no longer something the provincial martial arts association can handle!

We must report this to the military and the capital immediately!

"I don't care about any of that 'abyss' stuff! I just want Jiang Feng!"

Long Yuan suddenly roared, his whole body surging with true energy, and he charged towards the secret realm that was not yet fully closed, disregarding everything.

"Jiang Feng is a once-in-a-century prodigy from Linchuan City! He's the champion of this league!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I, Long Yuan, cannot watch him die inside!"

"Long Yuan, you're insane! Come back here!"

Yun Muge was shocked and quickly shouted to stop him, "The secret realm is on the verge of collapse and is currently being rebuilt. It will take at least six months to stabilize!"

"The spatial turbulence inside is so strong that even a sixth-rank Martial King would be torn to shreds, let alone you!"

"Even if it means death, I will bring his remains out!"

Long Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he ignored all advice, about to step into the raging spatial turbulence.

Just now.

"Buzz!"

A clear, sharp sword-like sound suddenly emanated from the spatial rift.

Immediately afterwards, to everyone's horrified gaze, two beams of white light landed in the center of the playground!

"Bang!"

Dust flew everywhere.

As the gust of wind subsided, two figures, supporting each other, slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

The young man, his white robes stained with blood, held a long sword in his hand. Although his aura was extremely weak, his dark eyes still shone as brightly as stars.

Beside him, the aloof and stunningly beautiful Shen Weilan looked at him with a worried expression.

Upon seeing the boy's face, Xiao Xingye, who had been in despair, burst into tears and shouted with wild joy:

"Brother Jiang Feng!!!"

"You're back!!!"

In the crowd, Li Changsheng's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

Lin Xing, who was not far away, let out a long breath and a smile appeared on his lips.

Long Yuan stopped in mid-air, looking down at the smiling young man looking at him. The man's eyes instantly reddened.

The pride of Linchuan City, the uncrowned king, has returned alive!
