Spring passed and autumn came. Two years passed by quietly.
It was the start of university again. The arrival of new students added some liveliness to Hongyun University's monotonous campus life.
When new students started school, it was also the day when the major clubs recruited new members. Naturally, there were some hungry and lonely seniors among them.
They waited at the intersection where the juniors might pass by. While sizing up the cute juniors without restraint, they also commented and rated them.
With the high attention and heated discussion, the annual Throne Challenge officially began in anticipation.
The seniors, who were originally immersed in cultivation and combat, also had a rare day of relaxation because of the arrival of the Throne Challenge. They went to the venue to watch the juniors' performance.
As usual, before the sun had even risen, many people from Guang Lin quickly washed up and rushed to Red Cloud University without even having breakfast.
At this moment, the gate of Hongyun University, which was like a city, was crowded with people. The long line of people stretched as far as the eye could see.
More than 60,000 spectators entered the city gate in an orderly manner under the guidance of the students and walked toward the martial arts arena. While they curiously sized up the famous Hero Academy, they were enthusiastically discussing the most likely genius to obtain the first Throne in this Throne Challenge.
In the new year, geniuses from all over the country would gather. It would definitely be a dazzling visual feast.
Vaguely, one could hear a familiar name from time to time.
Lin Feng!
Two years ago, he was the holder of the first Throne.
He was one of the most anticipated Glory League rookies, the future Son of Glory, who made the entire country's audience's blood boil.
Unfortunately, that was already history.
Ever since the life-and-death battle and gambling match that was the hottest topic in the country two years ago, Lin Feng seemed to have disappeared without a trace. He had completely disappeared from the eyes of the students.
It was still fine when they were in their first year of university. They could still see him once or twice every two or three months. Now, he had not returned for more than a year.
He did not even participate in the semi-annual examination. Now, his name was no longer on the Fengyun List and the Strong List.
In many people's opinion, Lin Feng had already dropped out of school or even died because he was afraid of being retaliated by the various large companies and groups, or because he was afraid of being challenged. However, there were some students who claimed that they had seen Lin Feng in Strange Peak, but they didn't know if it was true or not.
That series of dazzling halos also dimmed with the passage of time and were gradually forgotten.
If it weren't for Juxing's termination a year ago, and a few days ago, when all the major companies terminated their endorsement contracts one after another, many people would have forgotten about this name.
Unlike Lin Feng's dimness, the beastman Yun Kai's eyes shone brighter.
For two years in a row, he was the undisputed number one on the ranking list for the second and third years!
This also made him a real celebrity in Hongyun University, gaining the admiration of many girls.
Emperor Kai had already become his title.
At the same time, he became the most popular genius in Guanglin.
The Jianghu Budo Society that he had founded had been developing rapidly in the past two years, attracting many super geniuses to join it. Now, it had become the second university student organization after the Student Union.
Now, one-tenth of the shops in the business district were related to the Jianghu Budo Society.
Because of Yunkai's fame and strength, the business was so good that it made people envious. Not only on campus, but also outside of campus.
There were rumors that the Jianghu Budo Society's annual profits were in the billions, and Yunkai could take more than half of this money. Now, Yunkai was already the number one person in Hongyun University in terms of fame and development potential.
Although he had not fought with the seniors, in many people's opinion, he might have the strength to be in the top five of the Heaven Ranking.
Other than Yunkai, the other members of Linfeng's team were also very dazzling.
Siren Dong Yunan, as a healer, entered the top 50 of the ranking list in her sophomore year. Now that she had just entered her junior year, she entered the top 30 of the ranking list and was ranked 27th. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
Lin Xiaofei was originally a backdoor entrant in the Throne Challenge. He had relied on his connections to sit on the 98th throne. Now, with his own strength, he had also broken into the top 50 of the Windcloud Leaderboard and was ranked 48th.
As for Big Head Gao Hai and Divination God Yang Fan, they were pitifully weak and were at the bottom of Hongyun University. Relying on Linfeng and the other two's relationship, these weaklings who were specially recruited into Hongyun University were now quite famous.
To be able to have their own nicknames and be known by many people, this was already a successful performance in Hongyun University.
One was the manager of the Jianghu Budo Society, while the other was the president of the Jianghu Budo Society. Although they were not strong and did not enter the Heaven Ranking or the Strong Ranking, they were rare talents. Their management was also one of the reasons why the Jianghu Budo Society was able to develop so quickly.
Aside from Lin Feng, who had disappeared without a trace, the other five members of the six-man team had developed very well. While people admired Lin Feng's foresight, they couldn't help but sigh.
Extradimensional Space — Strange Peak.
In the depths of the strange peak, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and at a glance, it was a boundless green. A gust of wind blew past, and the green sea began to surge violently, setting off waves after waves of spray that covered the sky and covered the sun. Within the dense sea of trees, accompanied by a surge of air, a huge explosion resounded. Within this explosion, there were also the furious roars and wails of Demonic Beasts.
In the depths of the dense forest.
If someone saw the scene that was happening at this time, they would definitely be shocked.
That was because it was a bloody visual experience.
The sunlight shone through the lush leaves, and the shadows were faintly discernible. Hundreds of fist-sized transparent bubbles reflected colorful rays of light.
These bubbles floated towards the thirty to forty Demonic Beasts. Every time a bubble burst, lightning flashed, followed by a thunderous explosion and violent tremors.
Hundreds of bubbles burst together, and the huge shockwave was like a rolling wave. Along with the huge explosion, the monsters were blown into pieces. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the scene was extremely bloody.
At the same time, the monsters flew out from the broken corpses of the monsters, trying to escape. However, they were quickly caught by the young men and women who were guarding the side.
These young men and women were all around twenty years old, and there were a total of fifteen to sixteen of them. They chose the monsters that they wanted, and some of them directly crushed them to absorb the soul power.
Some of them closed their eyes, and under the protection of others, they sat cross-legged on the ground to refine the monsters, trying to absorb the soul skills.
Monsters that were difficult for others to obtain were like cabbages on the street to them, and they could freely choose from them.
"The power of this explosion is too tyrannical."
Looking at the bumpy ground in front of them, as well as the various broken limbs and remains, the young men couldn't help but feel shocked and terrified.
In an instant, more than thirty Third and Fourth Grade monsters were blown to death. If it were them, even if there were fifteen to sixteen of them, they wouldn't be able to do it easily. They might even be injured.
"Roar!"
An angry roar sounded. A four-meter-tall lion covered in purple scales jumped up from the pit, ready to escape.
In the explosion just now, the scale-covered Demonic Beast's body had also been torn open, and blood was seeping out from the wounds.
However, it was obvious that it was only slightly injured, and it wasn't fatal.
"A Fifth Grade Fire Armored Lion, no wonder it could survive the explosion."
"It can't escape."
In the midst of the discussion, the remaining thirty bubbles followed the escape route of the Fire Armored Lion, and floated quickly. No matter how the Fire Armored Lion changed directions, the thirty bubbles followed closely behind, as if they had locked onto it, and finally surrounded it.
Boom!
In the huge explosion, although the Fire Armored Lion's body was a mess of flesh and blood, it was worthy of being a Fifth Grade monster known for its defense. Its defense was indeed strong. Just as the lion was about to jump into the dense forest …
"Whoosh …"
The sound of wind breaking suddenly appeared, and a silver-white long sword suddenly appeared in mid-air. It streaked across the sky, and directly pierced through the escaping Fire Armored Lion.
Bang.
The Fire Armored Lion fell to the ground, and a fiery red monster flew up, wanting to escape, but was easily caught by a hand.
The huge explosion and the smell of blood attracted the attention of seven or eight Middle Grade monsters. In the gloomy forest, monsters appeared one after another. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the monsters' eyes were bloodthirsty, and they let out low growls. Some seemed to understand the strength of the humans in front of them, and retreated rationally, while others attacked the young men.
However, before they could get close, the sword that had originally descended from the sky appeared once again. Like a string of gourds, it brought along a burst of bloody mist before flying back to the back of a young man. With a swish, it returned to its scabbard and disappeared.
The young man had long brown hair, and looked more mature than the others. He was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
The contours of his face were distinct. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. His eyes were indifferent to the point of being somewhat wooden. However, his dark brown eyes would occasionally flash with the wildness of a demonic beast. Although he couldn't be called handsome or handsome, he was very stylish. At first glance, he would leave a deep impression on people.
He was wearing a warrior's outfit, and his exposed skin was a healthy bronze color, like steel. Although he did not have a strong back or a strong waist, his muscles were full of strength. At first glance, it made people feel that he contained endless strength, and exuded the beauty of wildness and strength.
"Akai, your Sword Manipulation Technique is so cool." Gao Hai looked at the young man and said enviously.
This young man was Yunkai.
Compared to Gao Hai, who had the same big head and the same fat body, Yunkai had changed a lot in two years.
Now that he had become a Rank-5 martial artist, he could control the special appearance given by the Atavistic Demonization.
Although Lin Feng said that this special appearance was a kind of Glory, Yunkai restored his appearance on the first day he became a martial artist.
Although he had become a well-known super genius, and the future Son of Glory, Yunkai still did not like to receive too much attention from others.
He was still very sensitive to those gazes.
Even if there was no mockery or disgust.
"Feng's explosion is art." Yunkai smiled and walked toward a young man.
The young man was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a pitch-black sportswear. His white face was angular and handsome, and his deep eyes were full of indifference. There was a faint smile on his face, as if he did not care much about everything around him.
"You are indeed handsome. When you fly on the sword, you are even more handsome." Lin Feng smiled.
Two years later, Lin Feng did not change much except for growing a little taller.
"Feng, the major companies have terminated their contracts. Recently, the Student Union has given an ultimatum. It's time for you to come out." Yang Fan frowned slightly.
Recently, the Student Union's coercion had hindered the development of the Jianghu Budo Society. Yang Ningbing, who had become the Student Union's president and officially the leader of the Hongyun Team, had given an ultimatum.
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. He had been in Qi Feng for a year and a half, and it was indeed time to go back.
"Three months later, a new extradimensional space door will appear in Guanglin. I have to prepare." A thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Feng's eyes gradually became a little sharp.
He was determined to get this key.
