The Empress's expression was solemn.
She recalled her past life, when her position as Empress was threatened, and it was Ye Xuan who helped her consolidate her throne.
After all, she was also the heroine, and in theory, she was supposed to be the one who liked Ye Xuan.
Who would have thought that in Ye Xuan's heart, she was merely a tool to provide resources.
Later, when she encountered villains and was nearly killed, Ye Xuan resolutely fled.
At the critical moment, it was Xu Chen who stepped in and pulled her back from the brink of death.
She tilted her exquisite face slightly. "Chen, the Academy Grand Competition is imminent. In this life, I, your Empress, will protect you."
PS: Seven chapters!!! Requesting all sorts of support!!!
At this moment, two princesses and several princes shared the same thought as the Empress.
The two princesses were the Empress's younger sisters, Princess Yun Yao and Princess Feng Yang.
As for the princes, their eyes lit up upon hearing this news.
This Jixia Academy, located within the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty, had actually produced two incredibly monstrous geniuses.
They had entered the academy at the Third Rank realm, and in just one month, they had already reached the Fourth Rank.
Such talent must be won over.
"Many who come from Jixia Academy end up serving the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty."
"I must hurry over now and recruit these two. We can't let anyone else snatch them up."
The princes and princesses, upon hearing this, secretly prepared gifts.
They would personally travel to Jixia Academy in ten days to invite the two to join the royal family after their graduation.
At this moment, Xu Chen, to avoid being disturbed by the many heroines, returned directly to his cultivation.
"I have to say, as the protagonist, Ye Xuan's alchemy skills are truly impeccable."
Xu Chen took out a Spirit Pill and examined it closely before speaking.
This pill was completely flawless, of supreme quality.
If swallowed, one could immediately enter the Ethereal Realm, and their cultivation efficiency would skyrocket.
It could last for about a day.
"Disciple, do you practice any martial arts?"
Just then, Handi arrived again, asking Xu Chen.
Seeing that Xu Chen had already advanced to the Fifth Rank in physical body cultivation, he nodded in approval.
This kid was indeed born to cultivate his body.
Xu Chen shook his head, playing along. "No."
In his memories, he had countless martial arts.
But now, he was playing the role of a newcomer.
As he was now, he shouldn't know any martial arts.
Handi smiled. "Here, two martial arts manuals and a few Fourth Rank Spirit Body Pills, along with one Fifth Rank Mysterious Body Pill.
They are all for tempering the physical body, and these two martial arts are also body-refining techniques.
Take a look yourself, and ask me if you don't understand."
With that, Handi handed the martial arts books to Xu Chen and left directly.
His demeanor clearly showed that he believed Xu Chen could handle it.
Xu Chen began to examine them. The martial arts in the world were divided into the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow Four Ranks, with Low, Mid, and High levels within each rank.
Above the Heaven Rank was the Saint Rank, and above the Saint Rank was the Emperor Rank.
The first book was titled Mountain Shaking Fist, a Mid-level Black Rank martial art, created by Handi himself.
When this fist technique is practiced to its extreme, it can shake mountains and shatter them with a single punch.
The other book was God Severing Leg, a High-level Black Rank martial art created by someone else.
This leg technique was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder, possessing both speed and strength.
However, its drawback, like the Seven Injuries Fist, was that part of its power would injure the user.
To avoid injury, one must strengthen their physical body. Only with a Fourth Rank physical body could this be cultivated.
With a Fifth Rank or higher, one could unleash its power freely without suffering backlash.
"I remember, during the Grand Competition, Ye Xuan had Earth Rank martial arts."
"Although I can't defeat him, I still need to follow the plot. I should practice what I need to practice."
Xu Chen chuckled lightly.
After thinking, Xu Chen began to swallow various pills and practice these two martial arts.
Just like that, ten days passed.
Within these ten days, Xu Chen completely absorbed the medicinal power of the original spiritual herbs and broke through to the late-stage Fourth Rank.
And the Mountain Shaking Fist and God Severing Leg were also completely mastered by Xu Chen.
So proficient, it was as if they were memories etched into his mind.
"Boom!"
Xu Chen threw a punch, and the ground shattered, cracking inch by inch, like a spiderweb.
Then he swept out a whip kick, instantly unleashing ninety-nine whip kicks, one after another.
"Not bad, today is the day of the competition."
He twisted his neck, which made crackling sounds.
After loosening his muscles and bones and taking a bath, Xu Chen headed straight for the training ground.
Since this competition was organized by the various academies, the seating areas were divided by academy.
Xu Chen arrived at the Body Dao Academy and casually found a seat.
"Today, there will absolutely be no accidents."
Xu Chen was extremely confident.
His physical body should be of late-stage Fourth Rank strength.
Now Ye Xuan should also have reached the mid-stage Fourth Rank realm. With Earth Rank martial arts, defeating him should not be a problem.
He looked up and saw the Headmaster Shangguan Luoyun and the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty's Empress Luoshen.
The Empress's two younger sisters, Princess Yun Yao and Princess Feng Yang, and even the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty's Prince, were also visible.
However, what was slightly strange at this moment was that Empress Luoshen, along with Princesses Yun Yao and Feng Yang, were all looking at him.
Their lips slowly curled up, and there was even a hint of joy in their eyes.
Xu Chen's face was pained. These gazes were so familiar.
They were just like the gazes of the heroines in a collapsed world!
Immediately after, he watched in bewilderment as Yun Yao and Feng Yang flew towards him.
His mouth gaped, Don't come over here!
PS: Eight updates!!! Seeking all kinds of support!!! I was thinking about the plot today, so I wrote slowly, got stuck, and wasn't satisfied with the plot I thought of, so I'm rethinking it!!! If I can't update today, it will be tomorrow, and nothing will be missed!
Xu Chen was speechless.
One heroine flying over was already bad enough, but two?
With this move, he instantly became the focus of the entire venue, and his hate value must have skyrocketed.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Yun Yao and Feng Yang quickly arrived beside Xu Chen.
Both women were dressed in palace attire, with sashes of different colors draped around them, fluttering like the Hun Tian Ling.
Their excellent figures, combined with their stunning beauty and the faint fragrance they exuded, instantly sparked endless imaginations.
