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

At the same time, Hong Lie, who was on his way, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"This...this powerful aura? Rank 7, 5th Star?! No, this aura also carries the oppressive might of the Dragon Clan!"

He gasped.

This is definitely not the aura of any instructor.

But who is fighting inside?!

Just as he was filled with doubt and surprise, the terminal on his wrist beeped:

"Old Red Ghost, the new students on the outskirts have been evacuated."

"But I just did a headcount... Jiang Feng, Ji Fan, Qin Hongye, and several other S-level freshmen are all missing!"

"Some of the students who escaped said they saw them rush into the Scarlet Castle!"

"Buzz!"

Upon hearing Shen Qingdai's words, Hong Lie felt as if his head was about to explode.

"Damn it!!!"

"Those arrogant little wolves! They really went to that most dangerous place!"

He could no longer care about anything else; his crimson saber transformed into a shooting star as he furiously slashed towards the ancient castle.

……

"Boom!"

Jiang Feng, now in a state of divine soul fusion, was clad in the Netherworld Dragon Armor, with wings sprouting from his back, and his aura had risen to the fifth level of the seventh rank.

"Die!"

The Dragon Fang Blade transformed into a sky full of thunderous strikes, each strike carrying the violent energy capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rivers, shredding large swaths of tentacles into a bloody pulp.

However, the difficulty of the battle still far exceeded his expectations.

"roar!!!"

The evil god unleashed a piercing roar!

His right arm, covered with eyeballs, suddenly twitched.

"Buzz!"

The space seemed to be compressed wildly at that moment.

Immediately afterwards, a shockwave suddenly erupted from the evil god's right arm!

This shockwave not only contained destructive power capable of destroying the physical body, but also contained the power of rules sufficient to obliterate the soul.

Wherever the shockwave passed, even space itself was torn open with dark cracks!

"not good!"

Jiang Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

This power is terrifying.

Even though he is currently wearing the Ancient Dragon Armor, if he is hit head-on, he will definitely die!

At this critical moment.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

A fierce roar suddenly erupted from the ruins!

Ji Fan's face was covered in blood, and his black-rimmed glasses were already shattered.

He stared intently at the devastating shockwave, tears of blood streaming from his bloodshot eyes.

At the risk of losing his sight, he forcefully broke through the sixth genetic lock in his body!

The dormant genes have finally mutated and awakened!

"Level 7 Ability: Absolute Vector - Mirror of Sighs!"

Ji Fan roared and pushed forward with both hands.

"boom!"

The space in front of Jiang Feng suddenly collapsed, and all the gravity, kinetic energy, and spatial vectors were forcibly kneaded into a singularity at this moment!

The shockwave, powerful enough to instantly kill a seventh-rank cultivator, was deflected in all directions the moment it struck the singularity!

"puff!"

Ji Fan coughed up another mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and his body fell straight down.

"Ji Fan!"

Seeing his fallen teammate, Jiang Feng was completely enraged!

"Monster...you die!!!"

He bit his tongue hard, burning his own life essence, and grabbed a handful of pills that Bai Yuhe had given him, stuffing them all into his mouth!

The violent medicinal power, mixed with the burning essence blood, exploded out, squeezing his potential to an unprecedented limit!

"Right eye, open!"

The Eye of the Evil God is spinning wildly!

A dark light enveloped the Touch of the Evil God.

Under the gaze of this evil god's power, the monster's defense was instantly reduced by 50%!

"It's not over yet!"

Jiang Feng frantically gathered all the violent power within his body into his right little finger.

"The Great Wilderness of Annihilation Finger"!

"Destroy them!!!"

One point out!

"laugh!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

That finger transformed into a jet-black ray of light that instantly pierced through the monster's head!

"Awoooooo!!!"

The monster froze abruptly, then let out a piercing scream.

"whisper……"

In mid-air, as the monster collapsed, the Nether Dragon Armor on Jiang Feng's body also rapidly melted away.

Dudu was extremely weak, and transformed into a dim white light, returning to Jiang Feng's body.

Jiang Feng, too, was exhausted of his vital energy, his consciousness fading into darkness, and he plummeted to the ground from mid-air.

Inside the ancient castle, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and all was deathly silent.

However, just when everyone thought the monster was dead.

"Gurgle... gurgle gurgle..."

A boiling sound suddenly came from inside the monster's corpse.

The "Evil God's Arm" was frantically drawing out the monster's remaining flesh and blood, then emitting a destructive red light!

Blow up!

It wants to self-destruct!

A monster that had fused with an S-class containment object self-destructed, its power enough to level the ground for dozens of miles around!

Jiang Feng and the others, who were at the epicenter of the explosion, wouldn't even have their ashes left!

"Shut it up, you bastard!!!"

Just at this time,

A loud, booming shout suddenly rang out!

"boom!"

A crimson streak of light slammed into the monster's front.

Hong Lie finally arrived at the last minute!

Looking at the monster about to self-destruct and the students lying on the ground, Hong Lie's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

He slammed the horse-slaying saber into the ground, frantically forming hand seals, unleashing his peak seventh-grade, third-level cultivation!

"The Domain of Fire!"

"Buzz!"

A space composed entirely of flames instantly unfolded, like an inverted giant bowl of fire enveloping the monster that was about to self-destruct!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening self-destruction resounded within the domain!

The terrifying destructive energy was like tens of thousands of tons of TNT detonating simultaneously, frantically impacting the barrier of the flame domain!

However, Hong Lie was only at the peak of the seventh rank and had not yet crossed that insurmountable barrier to break through to the eighth rank Martial Saint realm.

His understanding of the field was incomplete, and he was simply unable to fully digest such terrifying self-destruction power!

However, in order to protect the S-level freshmen of Zhenyue Martial Arts University behind him, he did not retreat an inch.

"Boom!!!!!"

After the horrific explosion, the entire castle was almost completely razed to the ground.

As the smoke cleared, a figure, charred black and billowing with thick smoke, stood amidst the ruins.

Hong Lie's signature red hair and red beard had been blown away completely, leaving him looking like a piece of charcoal just pulled out of a furnace.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a streak of blue light flashed by.

Shen Qingdai finally arrived at the scene.

When she saw the unconscious new students scattered all over the ground and Hong Lie spewing black smoke from his mouth, she was stunned for a moment, and then... she let out a crisp laugh.

"Laugh... what the hell are you laughing at!"

Enraged and humiliated, Hong Lie roared furiously, black smoke billowing from his mouth as he spoke, "I almost lost my life trying to save these little brats! Get them to treat me now!"

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Qingdai suppressed her smile, and a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes.

With a gentle wave of her hand, an ancient and simple phantom image of the "Medicine King Cauldron" appeared in mid-air.

"Nature brings life and renewal!"

A shower of azure light, brimming with vitality, fell and instantly enveloped Hong Lie and Jiang Feng and the others on the ground.

Nourished by the blue light rain, Hong Lie's charred burns began to fall off rapidly, and his injuries healed at an astonishing pace.

Even Jiang Feng and the others who had been unconscious looked much better.

"I have been teaching at Zhenyue Martial Arts University for decades, and I have never seen a freshman trial turn out so tragically."

Looking at the tragic scene around her, Shen Qingdai couldn't help but sigh.

After Hong Lie's injuries stabilized, he said coldly, "This is definitely not an accident! How could such a monster appear in the New Life Secret Realm!"

"There must be something fishy going on here!"

"Someone is secretly plotting against us, trying to destroy the foundation of Zhenyue Martial Arts University!"

He slammed his fist on the nearby rubble, his killing intent palpable. "Whoever dares to lay a hand on a freshman at Zhenyue Martial Arts University, I'll twist their head off!"

However, no one noticed a strange detail.

Jiang Feng's right arm is undergoing some kind of strange change.

His entire right arm was trembling slightly, and it looked as if countless fine black lines were merging under his skin.

And within the remains of that monster...

That section of the "evil god's right arm" had mysteriously disappeared.

It was as if it had never existed, or perhaps... it had already found a more perfect host.
