Clash

Among the Star River Martial Academy's group, Senior Fellow Apprentice Wen Yuan walked out calmly along with the other Star River -Star River Martial Academy Star River Level Students.

Behind him, several renowned Star River Level Students stood with auras as deep and imposing as unshakeable Divine Mountains.

However, everyone noticed.

The last spot on the Star River Martial Academy's team is now vacant.

What does this mean?

Under the watchful eyes of Ten Thousand Dao questioning and inquisitive individuals, Chen Fan, who had just led the freshman team to receive their awards, moved.

He did not return to his seat, but instead, in the deathly silence, he began to walk, his steps steady.

One step at a time.

Finally, he walked to the empty spot for the main team of the Star River Martial Academy and stood there naturally.

His appearance as a fourteen-year-old boy stood out starkly among the group of top-tier experts whose auras were as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.

Yet, it was also incredibly harmonious.

It was as if that position was rightfully his.

"Hiss!!"

On the high platform, the Chief Instructor of the Heavenly Sword Martial Academy suddenly contracted his pupils. He turned his head sharply to look at Old Freak Wang beside him, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Brother Wang, what is the meaning of this from your Star River Martial Academy?"

"Could it be that this child was brought up here... to watch the game?"

This was almost the only guess in everyone's mind.

Allowing a freshman to experience the aura of top experts up close and broaden their horizons is not unprecedented.

However, Old Freak Wang and Lin Xuanqing exchanged a glance, their faces showing the same barely suppressed smugness and fervor.

Old Freak Wang cleared his throat, as if afraid his voice wasn't loud enough, and replied in a matter-of-fact, even slightly boastful tone:

"Watching?"

"No, no, no."

He stretched out his finger, pointing towards the calm figure of the child standing in the center of the field.

"Chen Fan, he..."

"They are also members of our college's main competition team."

Boom!!

These words were like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploding in the minds of all the Chief Instructors and everyone else in the room!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

All the high-ranking officials from the three academies of Heavenly Sword, Canghai, and Nine Provinces were instantly Petrification.

The expressions on their faces shifted from surprise and doubt to astonishment, then to absurdity, and finally to blankness.

A freshman who has only been enrolled for a little over a year?

He not only has to win the freshman competition, but also... participate in the main event?

What does this mean?

This means that, in the Star River Martial Academy's assessment, this child's strength is already comparable to those top Prodigies who have been immersed in the Seventh Grade Immortal Realm for nearly a century, representing the academy's strongest combat power...

Running neck and neck!

How is that possible?!

This is beyond what the word "genius" can describe!

This is subverting the common sense of Martial Dao and trampling on the pride of all those who have practiced hard for hundreds of years!

All the mentors' eyes were fixed intently on Chen Fan.

That look in his eyes was no longer that of someone looking at a genius.

While everyone in the audience was still reeling from this revolutionary and massive shock, their minds went blank.

The champion representing Nine Provinces Martial Academy, a burly man radiating pure fighting spirit, fixed his gaze on Chen Fan with lightning speed.

Far from being intimidated by this absurd scene, his eyes blazed with an unprecedented and even more intense fire!

He took a sudden step forward, and the entire White Jade Plaza trembled.

A shout, deep and resonant like a mountain yet sharp as a spear, echoed throughout the arena.

"Interesting!"

"Junior Fellow Apprentice from the Star River Martial Academy, do you dare to...?"

"A preemptive battle?!"

Ten Thousand Dao gazes, as if drawn by an invisible hand, all focused on the slender child figure in the Star River Martial Academy's team, shifting from the burly man from the Nine Provinces Martial Academy.

Everyone wanted to know how this freshman, who had overturned their understanding, would respond to the challenge from the strongest student in the academy.

However, to everyone's surprise,

Under the deathly silence of the gaze, Chen Fan took a step forward and left the line of the Star River Martial Academy.

Facing the burly man whose fighting spirit soared and whose aura seemed capable of tearing apart the Firmament, Chen Fan stood still, his posture ramrod straight, and then meticulously performed a standard Martial Artist salute.

He raised his head, his clear eyes calm and still, his voice gentle and unassuming.

"Chen Fan, Star River Martial Academy."

"Please enlighten me Senior Fellow Apprentice."

Upon hearing this, the Chief Instructors on the high platform, who had initially thought that Star River Martial Academy's move was too frivolous, instantly changed.

"What a remarkable temperament!" The Chief Instructor of the Heavenly Sword Martial Academy couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Facing the peak battle intent of the Seventh Grade Immortal Realm, he remained neither arrogant nor servile. This young man's temperament far surpasses his age!"

On the plaza, the Nine Provinces disciples who had initially looked down on Chen Fan because of his age now had their disdain disappear, replaced by a solemn expression.

In the world of Martial Dao, the strong are respected.

But those who respect the strong deserve respect as well.

"Haha! Good! Excellent! Please enlighten me, Senior Fellow Apprentice!"

Zhao Xiaotian threw his head back and let out a hearty laugh, the sound of which echoed throughout the square.

The fervent fighting spirit in his eyes grew even more intense, like two burning suns.

"Judging by your arrogance, I, Zhao Xiaotian, will come and meet you today!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Xiaotian's laughter abruptly stopped.

He pulled his right arm back, twisted his waist, and a pure Law of Power instantly gathered at the tip of his fist.

Immediately, a simple, unadorned straight punch was unleashed!

"Buzz!!"

The space itself seemed to transform into fragile Glazed Crystal under the impact of that punch, collapsing layer by layer!

Everyone could clearly see a white shockwave, visible to the naked eye, shooting straight out from his fist. It didn't have a deafening roar, but it contained a terrifying power that could shatter a Stars!

"The Overlord Body World-Subduing Fist!" On the high platform, Old Freak Wang's pupils contracted. "He has actually cultivated this fist technique to the level of returning to simplicity and authenticity!"

All the Chief Instructors ' expressions turned serious.

This punch represents the ultimate principle of Ancient Martial Arts: using force to overcome all laws. Any fancy Dao Principles will be instantly destroyed in front of it.

They all wanted to see how Chen Fan would handle the situation.

However, Chen Fan neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

Faced with that powerful fist that could suppress all enemies of the world, he also raised his small right fist.

There is no flow of Dao Rhythm, no manifestation of Daoist principles.

In that instant, the brilliant galaxy within his body, composed of 8,888 drops of Life-and-Death Dao Blood, suddenly began to circulate, concentrating all its power into his fist.

With purity, towards purity.

With strength against strength!

The next moment.

Two disproportionate fists, one large and one small, collided with a deafening roar under the watchful eyes of the crowd!

"Thump!!"

A deep, muffled bang instantly pierced everyone's eardrums!

Centered on the point where their fists collided, the White Jade Plaza beneath their feet, which was as solid as divine iron, instantly transformed into visible concentric ripples, spreading in all directions, until it was completely reduced to dust!
