Amidst the swirling snow, Jiang Wuyuan's sword tore through the defenses and pressed directly against Xiao Qingqing's snow-white neck.
As they got closer, Xiao Qingqing felt her face go numb from the overflowing cold air.
Even though her physical attributes weren't that low.
The girl shivered from the cold and thought to herself.
"I concede." Xiao Qingqing put down her staff.
"You flatter me." Jiang Wuyuan sheathed his longsword, which was covered with a layer of frost.
As his proficiency in snow burial gradually increased, his control over ice elements also became more and more refined.
"Another win! How many consecutive wins is this?"
"The thirteenth match."
"hiss--"
People around gasped.
"Could this kid really break into the top 100?"
The person next to him glanced at him and said, "It looks like it."
Freshmen are terrifying!
——
Jiang Wuyuan's name swept across the academy like a whirlwind.
Less than a month after the start of the semester, some new students have already broken into the top 200 of the rankings.
Jiang Wuyuan's fame soared overnight.
This has more or less affected Jiang Wuyuan's life, such as the persistent suitors who pursued him even in the face of his coldness.
But Jiang Wuyuan still refused them all.
However, perhaps all the top 100 students had gone out to do missions, because three or four days passed and Jiang Wuyuan still hadn't encountered any of the top 100 students.
On the eve of his journey to the ancient secret realm, his ranking stopped at 114.
These past few days, he's been going to the Blood Burning Tower whenever he has free time, so his cultivation has progressed rapidly.
He has reached the mid-stage of the Grand Martial Master level.
He broke through a minor realm in less than a week, which even made Ruan Kongyin, a genius, envious.
"Is everything ready?"
On the last day before heading to the ancient secret realm, Jiang Wuyuan did not go to the martial arts arena. Instead, he was walking side by side with Ruan Kongyin on the path of the academy.
It was autumn, and the leaves were falling.
Looking at the orange-yellow leaves fluttering in the air, Jiang Wuyuan calmly replied, "Ready."
He also took the opportunity a few days ago to collect the Tier 5 weapon that Professor Wu Zhihuai had given him as a reward for supporting the battlefield.
It was a long, fiery red sword.
The sword was almost transparent, with brilliant flames flowing inside.
The hilt of the sword is also engraved with a phoenix pattern.
This sword is named Candle Phoenix Dance.
Also forged from special refined iron, which, according to the person who introduced him to it, was a refined iron born from the fire of Nirvana, with a unique blade that was extremely effective against alien races.
The wounds left on the alien race are difficult to heal by the alien race's powerful self-healing ability.
In other words, if an alien's arm is cut off, it cannot grow a new one.
Of course, if you encounter a very powerful alien race, the effect will be greatly reduced.
“A military vehicle will pick us up tomorrow. After meeting up with the military personnel, we will head to the secret realm together.” Ruan Kongyin smiled. “It’s a pity you couldn’t complete your plan before setting off.”
"How about we have a fight?"
Jiang Wuyuan shook his head, refusing Ruan Kongyin's suggestion: "It's alright. We'll find someone when we get back."
"Alright."
——
at this time.
Night Owl Headquarters, Holy Son's Palace.
Pei Feng sat casually and elegantly in the main seat.
The brilliance of the rubies inlaid on the seat made his handsome yet wicked face even more alluring.
When Kester arrived from across space, this was the scene he saw.
“Sage Pei.” Kester stood below the main seat and bowed respectfully.
Although Kester was far superior to Pei Feng in cultivation, he remained extremely loyal to the young man and was willing to lower his noble head for him.
"It's you. Did you get results on what I asked you to do?" Pei Feng wasn't surprised by Kester's sudden appearance. He raised an eyebrow and began to look forward to Kester's investigation results.
"Yes, I have found the information on the swordsman you mentioned." Kester was also quite surprised when he first received the information.
Given the extent of Night Owl's infiltration into various factions, it took him almost a month to investigate one person.
This proves that the Dragon Kingdom completely regards Jiang Wuyuan as a very important person to protect.
However, they had laid so many hidden pieces that they eventually found a clue.
"Let me see it."
Pei Feng eagerly reached out his hand.
Not only is he exceptionally talented in swordsmanship, but he can even control space.
If a poison were planted in him...
That sense of accomplishment must be wonderful!
Pei Feng smirked and took the documents from Kester.
Jiang Wuyuan, male, 18 years old, from Shanhai City, lost both parents when he was 8 years old, suspected to be this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination, with a talent level of SSS (?).
Pei Feng looked at the documents intently.
The question mark after "talent" likely indicates uncertainty.
The Dragon Kingdom is very secretive about the management of personal information, especially when it comes to things like numerical values and skills; even their own people cannot get in on the details.
Surprisingly, he had a good eye and immediately took a liking to a top scorer in the college entrance examination.
He had heard about the college entrance examination in China.
Because the Dragon Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, and possesses extraordinary strength, it produces an extremely large number of geniuses every year.
Jiang Wuyuan's ability to surpass all the other geniuses and take the top spot speaks volumes about his strength.
"Jiang Wuyuan."
Pei Feng read those three words aloud softly.
So that's your name, Little Swordsman.
"Who is the chief steward of the Dragon Kingdom's Mountain and Sea City?"
Kester immediately replied, "It's Shadowmoon."
