"Hehe, cousin! How does it feel to join the academy for the first time?" Yuanhui, who was originally admiring the school, suddenly heard Tong'er's voice and replied casually, "Not bad, better than the deep mountains and snowy peaks..."
Yuanhui was taken aback for a moment before asking, "How did you... know?" He had no idea about Tong'er's investigation into his affairs, and he was quite annoyed by Tong'er monitoring him.
Looking at Tong'er's crystal-clear eyes, he couldn't stay angry. "You also..."
"Don't say anything!" Tong'er pressed her graceful body tightly against Yuanhui's back. "Tong'er will be satisfied as long as cousin never leaves again and doesn't abandon Tong'er."
"Is that so?" Faced with Tong'er's sudden embrace, he was obviously at a loss. "I... erm!" Before Yuanhui could finish speaking, Prince Luo on the stage once again brought the microphone to his lips.
"In the past six months, many students have been stagnant," Prince Luo said, taking a few steps forward and pointing to a student in the crowd – Ronnie! "However, some students not only did not regress under difficult conditions but also advanced to a higher level. Their representative is our academy's little emperor, Ronnie!"
Everyone's gaze shifted to the stage, and Yuanhui also disdainfully stared at Ronnie about to take the stage.
"Indeed, in the past six months, I have been cultivating alone to reach the pinnacle level today!" He gazed at Yuanhui, a playful smile playing on his lips, and continued, "My goal is to defeat the waste who stole my sister and enter the senior advanced class!"
"What?" The crowd erupted into discussion. Although entering the senior advanced class was everyone's dream, at least one had to be at the Nine-Heart level, and some even higher.
"Who do you mean by the waste who stole his sister?" "Cousin..." Tong'er whispered in his ear, revealing information about Ronnie.
"This Ronnie is not easy to deal with. He defeated Han Yi, a senior disciple with Nine-Heart cultivation, last week at the pinnacle level!" "But that's just mediocre skills. Sixteen-year-old warriors at the pinnacle level are not uncommon!"
Wu Tong'er also told Yuanhui that Ronnie, like many young people, was arrogant. Moreover, compared to Han Yi, who was only at the early Nine-Heart level, Yuanhui had already reached the middle stage.
If he wanted to play hard, he would likely lose to Yuanhui's Dragon Emperor. With the Chi in Yuanhui's body now comparable to a quasi-grade expert, only a group fight could defeat him.
After Yuanhui and Wu Tong'er left the academy square, they received a challenge from Ronnie that very night. A challenge letter was posted on the door of their dormitory.
"Ugh..." Back in the dorm, Yuanhui sat on the bed and read the challenge letter posted on the door. "Tomorrow at noon, at the Ji Yao Terrace in the north court of the Vienna Academy, we will have a decisive battle!"
Seeing that the challenger was Ronnie, he shook his head and smiled helplessly—tomorrow, he would give this guy a lesson and clear up the misunderstanding.
*Ding!*
The communication compass displayed: Wutong-er.
"Hello!"
Yuanhui put down the challenge letter, feeling countless anxieties in his heart.
"Cousin, you absolutely can't go tomorrow. Godrealm is dominated by the privileged. Even if they kill you, they won't be held accountable!"
"Are you saying they don't follow the law?"
Yuanhui was a bit confused.
"Yes, he probably won't be foolish enough to challenge you alone. He has many peers and followers at the basic level, with a senior classmate at the Nine-Heart Initial Stage backing him up. You..."
Yuanhui hung up on Tong-er, crossed his arms, looked at the leaders he had refined now in their peak state, and then sneered.
"Do I have to keep hiding from these few vermin? How will I ever make a name for myself on the continent in the future?"
It seemed that there were more than one beauty around him, and the days ahead would not be peaceful!
Whether in the Repair Emperor City or now, Yuanhui felt a bit indecisive. If not for a few times when the Immortal purposely abandoned him, he probably wouldn't escape being labeled as useless even if he became stronger.
After all, fighting prowess is one thing, but the most important thing is that fighting without regard for life is always the most fearsome!
The next day at noon, under Wutong-er's guidance, Yuanhui and Tong-er proceeded to the duel arena of the mountain defense at the northern peaks - Jiyao Terrace.
Yuanhui led the way with Tong-er following closely behind. Only the two of them ascended Jiyao Mountain and entered Jiyao Courtyard.
Ronnie and more than twenty others were waiting on the Elder's platform in the courtyard, with even a high-tier disciple among them.
Seeing Yuanhui's arrival, everyone was surprised. Ronnie immediately jumped onto the platform, arrogantly looking down at Yuanhui below and taunting.
"I didn't expect you to be so arrogant, daring to come up the mountain with just two people."
Yuanhui, who didn't take him seriously at all, spread his arms and slowly rose towards the sky. He stopped three meters above the platform, taunting him.
"Oh, who did you say was being arrogant?"
"Damn, this dead hybrid is actually a powerful being above the tenth tier, but you won't escape today even if you grow wings!"
The senior disciple couldn't contain himself, but Ronnie waved his hand, gesturing for him not to strike.
"So what if he's a rebel? Nowadays, rebels are as common as crucian carp, and I can still deal with him!" Despite saying so, a sense of unease rose in his heart due to Yuanhui's unpredictable aura.
"Begin!"
Ronnie, impatient, launched the first attack, and a mechanical blood whip slowly extended from the palm of his right hand, emitting a blood-stained aura.
"Meet your end!"
With a loud roar, Ronnie's hand produced a ten-meter-long blood whip, a mechanical weapon!
In the desolate continent, the mechanical attribute was divided into two sects: pneumatic and mechanical. Pneumatic craftsmen could maximize the advantages of cold weapons with the help of Chi, while the mechanical faction relied on powerful long-range firepower.
Although the blood-hued gloss was somewhat dim, under the premise of the weapon serving as a container, the utilization of Chi also reached an extremely high level!
"Get lost!"
With a shout, in such a disparate power situation, Yuanhui didn't dare to be careless and focused all his Chi on his right leg for a devastating blow!
Seeing that he did not use any weapons to resist the Blood Shadow Whip attack, there was a hint of disdain in his heart.
"Hmph, to resort to physical combat, this rookie is nothing but a brute from the countryside."
But just as Ronnie's Blood Shadow Whip was about to lock onto him, he realized that he had actually targeted just an afterimage!
"What a pity..."
The vanished Yuanhui suddenly appeared in front of Ronnie, delivering a fierce kick to his abdomen.
Ronnie, heavily hit, was sent flying backwards and crashed deeply into the courtyard wall, leaving a gaping hole!
"You are only at the rebellious level after all, your body's endurance cannot compensate for the gap between us no matter how strong your attacks are!"
In the position of the victor, Yuanhui was not preparing to beat a dead horse, after all, his opponent was the son of Prince Luo!
"As expected, Prince Luo was right, keeping this kid around will only bring trouble!"
The leader of the higher-ranking students finally couldn't contain his temper any longer, waving the hammer in his hand, his two arms suddenly shook, and the mighty power from the Nine Hearts burst forth.
"Duke Du, we haven't..."
The people around, unable to withstand the violent Chi of the Nine Hearts warrior, were knocked to the ground one after another.
"I didn't expect there would really be a Nine Hearts warrior!"
Facing this Nine Hearts half-level powerhouse, Yuanhui, who was only two or three levels strong, might not even need to use his secret techniques to deal with him.
Yuanhui put away the secret techniques passed down by his master and said, "Things are getting interesting now."
In the advanced academy of Godrealm, there was a well-known rule - the ranking matches by status!
In the lower-level academy, opponents were assigned by the system, and for the mechanical engineer Dreame, the most challenging part was the damn Mechanical Knowledge Grand Assessment!
In the field of mechanics, sheer strength alone was far from enough. To understand mechanics, one must first master firearms!
Nel and Ronnie were different from the Ice Emperor.
They all belonged to the Qi-Mechanist Faction, and for Mech students, mastering weapons was crucial!
The Dongcheng Ranking Matches would be held at the top of the Immortal Emperor Mountain. Students above the Daoist and Mech Spirit levels could participate, and the top ten rankings would be admitted to the advanced class!
War Divine Lord Wuyan was once the founding emperor of this Godrealm, his strength was revered by all!
During the Age of Demons, War Divine Lord Wuyan took part in the Heavenly Demon War, but as a pinnacle Immortal, his confrontation with an Immortal Emperor powerhouse was sure to be tragic!
In the Desolate Era, there were already revered Immortal-level powerhouses on the continent, but within the Immortal tier, there were still variations, meaning War Divine Lord Wuyan was not truly at the pinnacle on this continent.
Even the Patriarch of the Dragon Clan, Long Wu Xian, who was one of the twelve surviving Ancient Clan Patriarchs on the continent, dared not challenge War Divine Lord Wuyan.
But after the beginning of the new century, the legends of the ancient powerhouses and ancient Immortal techniques became less known, even arts like the Esoteric Mantra slowly faded from memory.
Among the Twelve Divine Beast Clans, the infamous Black Dragon Emperor of the Demon Realm stood out.
Since the Black Dragon Emperor was sealed away, the Demon Realm mysteriously vanished from the continent, this vast region larger than the Four Great Dynasties seemed to vanish into thin air. Although occasional invasions by the demon race still occurred, no one knew where their lair was hidden!
"Hmph, they truly deserve to die. Is the son of Prince Luo so short-tempered?"
Yuanhui kicked Ronnie, who had fallen unconscious on the ground, and then turned to look at his bewildered lackeys lying beside him unsure of what to do next. Fortunately, there were no other bystanders this time, but there were plenty of people causing a scene on the scene. If anyone were to go snitch on him...
"Tsk, what an unnecessary trouble again!"
"...It's all your fault, finding an unreliable stand-in and trying to be clever... Forget it, just kill them all!"
Tonger, the cousin, coldly gave the order.
"Kill them all?!"
