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

Three days later.

The strong smell of disinfectant lingered in the air.

Jiang Feng slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the ceiling of the special care ward of Zhenyue Wuda.

He felt a deep sense of weakness in his body, but what followed was a surge of vitality that seemed to burst forth from his body.

"Where...am I?"

He turned his head slightly and saw a tall, slender figure sitting on the edge of the bed.

Ji Fan.

He was wearing a hospital gown, and the black-rimmed glasses on his nose were gone, replaced by a white cloth wrapped around his eyes.

Beside Ji Fan, Tang Tang was holding a steaming bowl of medicinal porridge, carefully blowing on it with a spoon.

On the next few hospital beds, Lei Lie, his body wrapped in bandages, looked like a mummy, sprawled out and snoring.

Yan Wudao closed his eyes to rest, with the broken heavy sword placed beside his pillow.

"Brother Jiang Feng?!"

The soup spoon in Tangtang's hand fell back into the bowl with a "clang".

She jumped up in surprise, her eyes instantly reddening, her voice trembling with excitement: "Brother Jiang Feng, you're awake! You're finally awake! That's wonderful, sob sob sob..."

Hearing Tang Tang's cheers, Ji Fan, whose face was covered by a white cloth, turned his head slightly. Although his eyes could not be seen, a relieved smile bloomed on his handsome face.

"Are you awake?"

"That's good. I knew it; you're tougher than anyone else!"

Jiang Feng felt a warmth in his heart and was about to speak.

[Congratulations, host! Successful and perfect fusion with SP-08 'The Right Arm of the Evil God'!]

[Congratulations, host, on breaking through the martial arts barrier! Your current realm has advanced to: Seventh-Rank Martial Emperor!]

[Due to the fusion with the containment object's rules, the host has mastered a brand-new, exclusive offensive divine ability—[Annihilation Grip]!]

(Ability description: Activate the power of the evil god in the right arm to lock onto the enemy from a distance.)

With a mere clench of the five fingers, one can forcibly alter and collapse the spatial rules of the target's small area, annihilating and strangling all vital energy, physical bodies, and matter within that space without regard to defense!

Jiang Feng was suddenly stunned.

He's broken through to the Martial Emperor realm?!

The gap between the sixth and seventh ranks is an insurmountable barrier that countless geniuses cannot cross even after a lifetime of effort!

Once one reaches the seventh-grade Martial Emperor realm, one possesses terrifying strength capable of suppressing an entire region.

Jiang Feng subconsciously held his breath and immediately looked inward at his body.

What he saw made him gasp in shock.

An earth-shattering change had occurred within my body!

First, the meridians turned into a deep, dark black!

Although the color looks a bit eerie, these dark veins are several times thicker than before!

Even without consciously circulating the cultivation technique, the surrounding spiritual energy was being drawn into the meridians at a terrifying speed that was more than ten times faster than before.

Next is the dantian.

If the dantian used to be a bucket, now it has been opened up into a wide riverbed!

However, the stream was faintly tinged with a strange black mist.

"I actually fused with the right arm of the evil god... even my meridians and spiritual power have mutated."

"Will I... turn into an evil god someday?"

"Brother Jiang Feng? What's wrong?"

Tang Tang asked anxiously when she saw that Jiang Feng had not said a word after waking up.

"Should I ring the call bell right now and call the doctor over?!"

Hearing Tang Tang's anxious, tearful cries, Jiang Feng finally snapped out of his shock.

He took a deep breath, shook his head, and forced a smile: "I'm fine, don't panic, I just woke up and my head is still a little foggy."

"snort!"

"Become an evil god?"

Worrying unnecessarily!

No matter what color the meridians turn, it's all the power he controls!

As long as my strength increases and I can protect the people around me, it doesn't matter if it's demonic or evil; as long as it's useful, that's enough!

After calming down, Jiang Feng turned his gaze to Ji Fan beside him, frowning as he asked, "Ji Fan, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Ji Fan tilted his head slightly, a nonchalant smile on his lips, and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not blind."

"I forcibly broke through the sixth gene lock under dire circumstances and just awakened a special ability."

"The eyes are simply being covered with a white cloth to avoid light because they have been subjected to an overload of energy due to a genetic mutation and are currently in a self-protective period."

"My eyesight will recover in a few days, and... I'll be stronger than before."

Hearing that Ji Fan had not lost his sight and had even gained new abilities as a result of the misfortune, Jiang Feng finally felt relieved.

"That's good."

After confirming that Jiang Feng was alright, Tang Tang immediately started talking, her face flushed red, and she excitedly began to report on the shocking news that had happened in the past few days:

"By the time Mr. Hong brought you back to school, an earthquake nearly struck the entire city of Kyoto!"

"The top leadership of Zhenyue Martial Arts University is furious!"

"An S-class containment object has infiltrated the freshman trial, and a world-destroying mutated monster has appeared!"

"The Ji family, the Lei family, the Yan family, and high-ranking military officials are all in an uproar, jointly demanding that Zhenyue Martial Arts University provide an explanation!"

At this point, Tang Tang lowered her voice, her eyes sparkling with admiration: "The most outrageous one is still the Jiangnan Military Region!"

"I heard that Marshal Guan Qingcang overturned the table on the spot after learning that you almost died in the secret realm!"

"He even declared that if the school couldn't protect the geniuses of Jiangnan Province, he would take them back to the military region and raise them himself!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's expression faltered slightly, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"And then?"

"Later, it was only through the personal mediation of the president of Zhenyue Martial Arts University with the bigwigs from all sides that the storm was barely quelled."

Tang Tang pursed her lips and continued, "In the end, the investigation department found out that it seemed a mysterious organization had infiltrated the secret realm."

"Fortunately, Instructor Hong Lie came to the rescue in time, and with the few of you inside risking your lives to hold off those three monsters, not too many freshmen were killed or injured."

"In order to give an explanation to all parties, the school has spent a lot of money this time and punished a large number of security personnel who were negligent in their duties."

"Furthermore, as compensation for this incident, the school has given each of this year's freshmen 5,000 merit points!"

"Five thousand merit points?"

Jiang Feng frowned slightly.

Is this supposed to be compensation?

This is practically treating a beggar like this!
