The border of the Beiting Empire, the city of South Hua.

As a place where border guards are stationed, Nanhua has always been unpeaceful, and not only because of the war. In addition to the military fortress, this place is naturally one of the transportation hubs, and it is the choke point for merchants from the south of the mainland to enter the North Garden.

Early in the morning, the caravan lined up outside Nanhua City waiting for the city gate to open had already lined up more than 100 meters long. Dozens of caravans from different countries gather here, waiting for the gates to open and sell the goods they carry in exchange for money or unique local specialties before being transported back. That's their job.

Today, however, it was a bit unusual, with two huge eight-wheeled carriages standing out in the queue, especially the two earth-walking dragons in front of them, which were three points stronger than the usual breeds, and were intimidating to look at.

The surrounding caravans had deliberately distanced the two-car convoy from each other, leaving a small piece of flat ground in front of and behind them, which stood out in the crowded queue itself.

This is the convoy of the students of the Jinxuan Imperial Academy led by Zhuge Tiance, after they returned from the Niutou Mountain crusade, they rested in Changdao's camp for two days before resetting off on the road, but they rushed to form on the way, and finally arrived at the North Court as well as the time in the budget.

In just four or five days, they will be able to travel to the final stop of this time, the venue where the academy competition will be held, the Beiting Imperial Capital Wolf Owl City.

In the carriage, Zhuge Tiance knocked on the seat and waited for the city gate to open and release. On the table in front of him was a document that was the proof that they could pass the fortress here, and it was also the qualification certificate for the academy competition.

"Elder Zhuge so early?"

Huangfu Xian, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes, pushed the door out of the room, and saw Zhuge Tiance sitting in the main hall, and was slightly surprised in his heart.

Zhuge Tiance smiled: "Finally arrived at the North Garden." The old man couldn't sleep, so he got up early, and the last time he came here was probably twenty years ago. That time, I was also a group of students who led the team to compete in the academy competition. But...... Oh, what a shame that time!"

Huang Fuxian also has some understanding of the battle situation of the previous Jinxuan Imperial Academy, and the final result is the runner-up of that year, and he lost to the Tianxun Imperial Team in the final. The main reason is that they fought too hard with the Beiting Empire team in the semi-finals, resulting in more than half of the people in the final being injured and finally failing.

"This time, we set foot in the North Court again, and we are bound to regain the honor that should belong to us, and we will be ashamed!" Huangfu clenched his fists across his chest and swore an oath.

Who knew that Zhuge Tiance shook his head again and again and said: "No, don't take it too seriously for the sake of that superficial honor this time." Returning home one by one is your main goal. ”

After returning from the Niutou Mountain bandits, Zhuge Tiance informed everyone of the newly changed rules of the competition in the barracks, and also told them that this training was essentially to make them get used to the feeling of killing. As expected, most of the students were shocked by the newly added rules that allowed them to kill their opponents in a match, and they never thought that their own competition for honor could be changed to a bloody fight when they were faced with it.

However, no one wants to quit. Since he came, it was impossible to retreat, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he could only bite the bullet and open a bloody path.

From the moment they set out, their lives were no longer their own, and they had to fight for the Academy, for the Empire, until the last moment.

Although Zhuge Tiance's words had the meaning of advice, it did not mean that the emperor would choose to give up. After all, after they come out, there is no way out.

Huangfu sighed and said, "I will do my best to ensure that every student comes back safely on the premise of victory!"

"I hope so...... If I had been able to form a team in the first place, I'm afraid the situation would have been much better......" Zhuge Tiance shouted in a low voice.

Although Jinxuan Imperial Academy allows two teams to participate, it also means that the combat ability of a single team will be weakened in disguise. In itself, the idea of the academy is to concentrate all the elite in the first team, and the second team is only focused on participation. Unfortunately, it backfired.

Since the age of the participating students is limited to twenty-four years old, even if it is the inner courtyard of the Jinxuan Imperial Academy, the number of good players that can be drawn is limited. Among them, Luo Yun and Huangfu Xian are the most powerful, and they are both world-level and re-cultivated. However, the two of them did not get along. To be precise, it was Luo Yun who was proud of his talent and was unwilling to hand over the position of captain.

In terms of strength, Luo Yun is indeed slightly higher than Huangfu Xian. However, if it is about the ability of the commander, it is still the emperor who has the advantage. As a result, they were divided into two teams, led by two people. The rest of the team members are completely voluntarily choosing the team, but Luo Yun has a bad temper and is also very popular on weekdays, except for his two sworn brothers, more than half of the rest are inclined to join Huangfu Xian's second team. Of course, there are also those who switch to the command of the first team because of the prestige of the "Iron Triangle".

In the end, the strength of the two teams turned out to be about the same, and it was a coincidence that the living forces of the academy were divided.

However, after the battle of Niutou Mountain, Luo Yun's attitude has obviously changed a lot. It's a pity that it's a little late, the team list has already been reported, and it can't be changed unless it's injured. In Zhuge Tiance's infinite regret, he could only let a team with a high victory rate be split into two forces and fight separately.

After a moment of silence, the slight vibration of the carriage told Zhuge Tiance that the city gate was opened, and the convoy began to move forward. He suddenly thought about the emperor and asked, "Feng Ren, that kid, are you still in retreat?"

Huangfu nodded and replied, "Yes." It's been the fourth day, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't have been this long. ”

After everyone got back on the road, Feng Ren's injuries recovered unexpectedly quickly due to the body of the living beings brought about by the second awakening of the dragon soul origin, and he was healed. Moreover, he also felt that there was finally a precursor to a breakthrough in his strength that he had stayed for a short time, and the barrier between the martial level eight and nine was constantly shaking.

This time, it's no longer just the ascension.

Since that day, Feng Ren has been in retreat in his room. The rest of the students also knew the urgency and did not bother, but only occasionally looked inside through the small window on the door. Itself, the small window on the door is used for the insiders to spy on the outside world, and can only be opened from the inside. However, for the sake of safety, in order to prevent problems during the Feng Ren retreat and the outside world did not check, Zhuge Tiance still kept it open all the time.

"This kid has always played cards out of common sense. Hopefully, after this breakthrough, he can bring us new hope. I'm curious, his combat power at the Martial Rank Eight Folds can rival the Half-Step Realm Level, if he reaches the Ninth Tier, wouldn't he be able to compete with the Realm Level?" Huang Fu Xian suddenly laughed.

Zhuge Tiance snorted: "How is it possible? The gap between the realm level and the martial level is definitely not something that can be made up by skills or martial arts techniques! However, once Feng Ren breaks through the ninth level of the martial level, then although he can't defeat the person of the first level of the realm, it is relatively easy to protect himself or escape. However, if he succeeds in breaking through this time, I'm afraid it will ......"

I don't know why, Huangfu Xian always feels that there is a slight indescribable regret and helplessness in the current tone of Zhuge Tiance, which seems to be derived from wind toughness.

......

Seven near-physical true qi hovered above Feng Ren's head in a flocculent shape, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all over the four directions in the faint flow, nourishing itself.

The true qi in the body was running faster and faster, and the meridians around the body were temporarily expanded by three points under the washing of the strong true qi, and there was a faint red light on the inner wall. In his chest, a red light, a golden light, and a black light that was obviously a few minutes weaker rotated in a ring, looming, and the aura gradually increased.

At the dantian, in the very center of the Twenty-Eight Obscure Star Array, two dragon-shaped tiny lines seemed to raise their heads, and their eyes opened slightly. However, this change was fleeting, and it soon returned to normal. However, in the position of the Seven Houses of the Dragon to the east, the surface of the third drop-shaped crystal, which itself was only slightly shiny, seemed to have waves, and the light that overflowed from the inside to the outside became more and more dazzling. Eventually, the brightness of the two eggs, which were slightly weaker than the previous two, stopped, and did not change.

Suddenly, a burst of light filled the area around Feng Ren's sitting figure, and a low dragon moan came from his body, but it did not reach the outside world, and he alone could faintly hear it. In the fluctuation of the streamer, a slender dragon emerged, hovering and suspended above Feng Ren's head, filled with a faint majesty.

The dragon's head was raised, and the streamer and the seven essence true qi that had been suspended before were pulled and attracted by the cyclone that appeared instantly around it, and quickly injected into the dragon's body. However, on the surface, there is no change in the slightest.

After a moment, the little dragon sighed slightly, re-burrowed into Feng Ren's body, and completely disappeared after a sudden flash of golden and red light suddenly flashed throughout his body. At the same time, the aura of wind tenacity suddenly soared, directly breaking through the previous barrier and gradually rising, but after a while, it seemed to be blocked, slowly descending again, and finally stopped.

A breath of turbid breath was exhaled, Feng Ren's eyes opened, and he did not feel the slightest tiredness after a few nights of sleeplessness, but was full of energy.

Stretching his muscles a little, a low and crisp sound burst out from all over Feng Ren's body, making him feel refreshed and comfortable all over his body.

"Is it the peak of the martial rank ninefold? This feels really good. It's just a pity, not to mention the boundary level, I didn't even take the opportunity to break through to the quasi-boundary level. ”

Feng Ren sighed, and the long-lost feeling finally came back after nearly a year. Thinking about the last days of his life in the Dragon Soul Valley, he was so cultivated. But now, compared to the strength at that time, Feng Ren felt that the true qi in his body was much more abundant, full of stamina, and the power surging in his limbs was endless.

Even compared to the previous ascension state, Feng Ren felt much stronger. Speaking of the ascension, Feng Ren felt a little confused. Since he played against Luo Haitao, he can't even get into that state again. But fortunately, he is now a genuine martial arts level nine-fold cultivator, and he is still a nine-fold peak, not much different from the quasi-boundary level.

"Is it late at night again? I don't know where it is now......

Looking out the window at the starry night, Feng Ren smiled slightly, changed into a brand new robe and walked out of the room.

In the hall, by using True Qi to urge the map on the table, Feng Ren could clearly see that the red dot showing the location of the carriage appeared in the area marked with the territory of the North Garden.

"Late at night, in the suburbs, in the north courtyard...... It's the perfect time. ”

Leaving at this time is indeed not enough at the right time.

However, when he was about to push the door and go out, an inexplicable mood swing appeared in Feng Ren's heart, and it seemed that he still had some kind of residual thoughts that he couldn't rest assured.

Eventually, Feng Ren's gaze stopped under the door outside Lan Jin's house as he swept through several rooms.

It seems that there is still some ......

Feng Ren couldn't tell what the relationship between himself and Lan Jin was.

Good friends?

Lovers?

In the inner entanglement, his right hand was raised and lowered several times, and the wind was tenacious and uncertain.

Half an hour later, he still pressed the doorbell in Lan Jin's room.
