Next stop, Jiangdong Women's Martial Dao Middle School

Liu Kun's face immediately darkened.

They actually thanked me for making things happen?

Do you even know how much I feel like tearing you apart right now?

Liu Kun cursed inwardly, but ultimately didn't show it.

In the vast Central Martial Arts Arena, the breathing of thousands of people seemed to be sucked out at this moment, plunging into a deathly silence even more complete than that of a graveyard.

Liu Kun stared at the nine-year-old child in the center of the arena, hands in his pockets, and remained silent for a long time.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his arm, and waved weakly at the blank young faces in the audience.

"Disperse!"

"That's enough for today!"

The order was given, but no one acted immediately.

After a long while, some students stiffly stood up and walked heavily toward the exit.

One, two, a piece...

Thousands of students from Jiangbei No. 1 High School left the training ground with empty eyes, looking like defeated soldiers.

The pride they felt, belonging to Jiangbei First Martial Dao Middle School and to the entire Jiangbei Region's younger generation, was shattered today by a nine-year-old child from Jiangnan.

Soon, the training ground, which could hold tens of thousands of people, became empty, leaving only Vice Principal Liu Kun, Shen Xuan, who was heavily injured but whose eyes were still surprisingly bright, and Chen Fan, who remained calm from beginning to end.

In the oppressive atmosphere, Liu Kun could no longer suppress the raging fire in his chest.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and roared at the empty sky.

"Gu Ci!"

"You son of a bitch! Get down here right now!!"

The sound waves rolled and echoed in the empty training ground.

The words had barely left his mouth.

A figure dressed in gray linen, whose aura was so deathly still that he seemed to blend into the surrounding space, appeared before Liu Kun without warning.

The person who arrived was none other than Gu Ci.

He didn't even glance at the enraged Liu Kun; his eyes simply rested calmly on Chen Fan, and he nodded very slightly.

"The Invincible Path?!" Liu Kun pointed a trembling finger at Chen Fan, not asking, but roaring, "You actually let him embark on this Invincible Path?!"

"Are you crazy?! Do you know what you're doing?! He's only nine years old! A nine-year-old child! You're sending him down this dead end?!"

Throughout history, how many people in the Federation's records have embarked on this path? And how many survived?!

Liu Kun's questions rained down on Gu Ci like a machine gun.

However, faced with the wrath of his old acquaintance, Gu Ci finally turned his gaze away from his student and towards Liu Kun.

His tone was so flat and emotionless.

"That's a mediocre person."

"My student, yes."

Liu Kun paused slightly, then his expression became complicated.

Yes.

Mediocre...

Compared to this monster, aren't the others just ordinary people?

Liu Kun fell silent, as if all his energy had been drained away in an instant.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Xuan, who stood straight beside him, who had not said a word from beginning to end, but whose eyes were burning with flames.

A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but it was ultimately replaced by an unprecedented resolve.

Shen Xuan.

Liu Kun's voice was deep and hoarse.

"Yes, teacher."

Shen Xuan bowed.

"Your Invincible Path is severed today," Liu Kun said, each word deliberate and resolute, "But being able to follow this brat is the greatest opportunity of your life!"

Shen Xuan suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Liu Kun spoke in an almost commanding tone, his voice deep and stern. "I, as your teacher, order you! From today onwards, follow him!"

"Teacher..."

"That's an order!"

Shen Xuan's body jolted. He looked at the sorrow and expectation in his teacher's eyes, and then at the calm-looking nine-year-old child in the room.

His pride and resentment transformed into an even more intense desire for a higher realm of Martial Dao.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Shen Xuan suddenly turned around, faced Chen Fan, and solemnly clasped his hands in greeting.

"Chen Fan!"

Please guide me in the future!

This sudden turn of events left Chen Fan momentarily stunned.

"What the heck??"

Chen Fan was a little confused; how did they suddenly start following him?

Don't you even ask yourself that question?

He subconsciously scratched his head, looked at his teacher Gu Ci, and asked a question in his eyes.

Gu Ci neither confirmed nor denied this, but gave him a barely perceptible nod.

Having received permission, Chen Fan revealed a smile typical of a young man.

He stepped forward, helped Shen Xuan up, and said with a smile:

"Okay."

"But you'd better stay close, I walk very fast."

Looking at the mad master and apprentice before him and his prized disciple whom he had just personally sent away, Liu Kun sighed deeply and resigned himself to his fate.

He waved his hand weakly and asked, "What's the next target? Tell me, which school are you planning to wreak havoc on next?"

Liu Kun was well aware of what the Invincible Path meant. Being able to walk this path, and even reach the end, would inevitably make one a pillar of the Human Federation.

Don't think that following such a person is something shameful. Little do people know that since White Emperor embarked on his Invincible Path, everyone who has followed him has now become a top powerhouse in the White Emperor Human Federation.

Even... there are some Starfield Martial Gods among them!

From the moment Shen Xuan was defeated by Chen Fan, Shen Xuan was destined to lose the qualification to walk the Invincible Path. But if he could stay by Chen Fan's side...

A bright future is not out of the question!

Even a Starfield Martial God... has the qualifications to give it a shot!

After listening to Liu Kun's words and pondering for a moment, Gu Ci brought up a virtual screen.

A virtual Light Screen covering the entire eastern region of the Federation slowly unfolded before him.

His fingers traced across the Jiangbei Region, which Chen Fan had just ravaged, without pausing for a moment, and finally landed on the adjacent Jiangdong Region.

A light tap with your fingertips.

A coordinate point, shimmering with a soft blue light, appeared clearly on the Light Screen.

[Jiangdong Women's Martial Dao Middle School]

Upon seeing these words, Liu Kun's expression froze instantly, replaced by a complex look that was extremely strange and tinged with schadenfreude.

He looked at Gu Ci, as if he had thought of something, his eyes showing a somewhat strange expression.

Gu Ci naturally noticed his gaze, but ignored it.

He turned to Chen Fan and Shen Xuan, who had just joined the team and was still in a daze, and uttered two words indifferently.

"They're gone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he led the two men onto the military Hovercar that was quietly suspended above the training ground.

The engine let out a deep roar, transforming into a streak of black Stream of Light that instantly tore through the clouds and disappeared into the horizon.

Only when the streak of Stream of Light completely disappeared did Liu Kun's anger finally break down and vanish from the vast training ground.

Instead, a barely suppressed, cunning smile, like that of an old fox, appeared.

Hehe... hehe...

He chuckled softly, his shoulders shrugging, as if he had discovered some incredible amusement.

He quickly activated his Personal Computer, his fingers leaving a trail of afterimages on the virtual keyboard as he wrote furiously.

Soon, a post he embellished and exaggerated was anonymously sent to the Federation's largest Martial Dao forum— Martial Dao Home.

Breaking News! The Jiangnan Madman and His Nine-Year-Old Prodigy Sweep Through Jiangbei, Jiangbei's Top Prodigies Shen Xuan is Narrowly Defeats in One Move, and Three Senior Students at the Qi-Blood Realm Are Instantly Killed! The Invincible Path Has Begun!

After doing all this, Liu Kun put away his Optical Brain with satisfaction, humming a little tune, hands behind his back, and walked leisurely away from the training ground.

Old Gu, didn't you like to play around?

I'll help you make the venue bigger!
