Ziyang, Ziyue

The three Federation powerhouses were all puzzled. They had no idea why some big shot with a Dragon Clan No. 1 warship had suddenly shown up.

After all, today was the first stage of the College Entrance Exam, arguably the most important event in all of Huaxia. Nothing could be allowed to go wrong!

For safety's sake, the three of them took out their communication devices and contacted the Federation's higher-ups.

There were many universities across Huaxia. West Lake High School was only one of them, but plenty of Federation powerhouses had come here. The three eighth-tier bloodline powerhouses were only responsible for the first stage of the test. In the principal's office, two terrifying ninth-tier bloodline powerhouses were waiting—the leaders of their team!

When the two Top-tier Martial Venerables received the message, they immediately took notice. They had been discussing matters with the principal of West Lake High School. As soon as they heard what had happened, they cut the conversation short and headed straight for the East Campus.

They were incredibly fast. Like teleporting, they streaked across the sky as bands of rainbow light. In just a few blinks, they were nearing the East Campus. After all, the principal's office was quite close to all the different campuses.

The principal of West Lake High School was an old man with white hair and a youthful face. Seeing the two Federation powerhouses hurry away in alarm, curiosity appeared on his face as well. He followed close behind, heading toward the East Campus.

In less than a minute, the two Federation powerhouses and the West Lake Principal arrived at the East Campus training ground.

"Look! Isn't that the principal?" The students and teachers on the training ground were astonished. They hadn't expected the Flying Warship in the sky to draw the principal and the others over.

It wasn't just the principal and his group. A few more streaks of light came flying from nearby. They were the vice principals, including Lei Kai. They had all been alarmed!

"Principal, what exactly is going on?" Lei Kai and the others looked confused, their eyes full of wariness. They thought some terrifying powerhouse was about to attack West Lake High School.

"The detection devices outside the school didn't sound an alarm. How did this Flying Warship get into West Lake High School?" Lin Yuan's expression changed. It was the critical first stage of the College Entrance Exam, and this sudden turn of events had left him on edge.

The principal shook his head. Even as a Top-tier Martial Venerable, he had no idea where the Flying Warship had come from. He released his terrifying Martial Venerable-level Mental Power to probe it, but a mysterious force blocked him.

"That's the Dragon Clan No. 1!"

One of the Federation powerhouses spoke up. She was a voluptuous, beautiful mature woman wearing a golden qipao. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her long, pale legs were utterly captivating. Her eyes glittered like purple gemstones, and a beauty mark rested at the corner of one eye. Every frown and smile of hers brimmed with charm.

She looked like a ripe peach, the qipao barely covering her snow-white thighs. She was a stunning young woman—and a Top-tier Martial Venerable with ninth-tier bloodline!

She glowed from head to toe, her aura terrifying as it unfurled completely, like a vast ocean sweeping over the entire training ground.

"Who are you, exactly? It's the College Entrance Exam period. The Federation will absolutely not allow outsiders to interfere with any part of the exam!" The purple-eyed beauty spoke firmly. Even though she knew anyone who could own a Dragon Clan No. 1 warship had an extraordinary status, she wasn't the least bit afraid.

After all, the Federation stood behind them—the most powerful organization on the entire planet!

The Federation feared no force. Thanks to it, the College Entrance Exam had gone off without a hitch for all these years.

The other ninth-tier bloodline powerhouse was a burly man. He wore a purple coat, and the muscles bulging beneath it were like iron blocks. His tiger-like eyes were fixed on the Dragon Clan No. 1 above.

The purple-clad man showed no aura, but red flames burned around his huge fists. His eyes blazed with terrifying light, as if he were eager to charge up and throw himself into a brawl!

The principal's face darkened. He hurriedly released his energy, forming a massive energy shield over the entire training ground.

He could see the thick fighting spirit radiating from the two Federation powerhouses. They looked as if they couldn't wait to pick a fight with someone.

As principal, he naturally had to prioritize the safety of the students on the training ground.

He had received word that several students in the East Campus had reached the Blood Qi Ninth Stage. They were exceptional students capable of contending with the Heavenly Prides of the top Lineages and factions. They absolutely couldn't be allowed to come to harm!

The vice principals hurried to lend a hand. Just the purple-eyed beauty's aura had already knocked many students on the training ground unconscious.

The three Federation powerhouses responsible for the first stage of the College Entrance Exam silently complained. Their two leaders didn't seem very reliable, looking as if they were itching for a fight.

The Dragon Clan No. 1 gave no response. It continued its slow descent.

Mu Qing had also noticed what was happening outside the warship. Sweat covered his forehead. He hadn't expected to attract so many powerhouses.

He wanted to tell them he was here to take the College Entrance Exam, but the Dragon Clan No. 1 obeyed only Ke Fei's commands. It was currently operating on autopilot and couldn't respond in any way.

With no other choice, Mu Qing could only stay inside the warship and explain once he got out.

"Beginning descent. Estimated time to destination: ten seconds!"

An electronic voice rang out. The Flying Warship surged with deep-blue flames, and a violent pressure blasted outward as it slowly descended toward the center of the training ground.

All the students watched, along with the principal and the others. Seeing that the Flying Warship hadn't responded and was still going to land on the training ground, their expressions turned grave.

The other party's behavior was downright rude. In a sense, it was a provocation!

"Brother, looks like someone really does dare to provoke the Federation!" The purple-eyed beauty covered her mouth and laughed.

The purple-clad man grinned. "Wouldn't that be perfect? The Federation Headquarters gave us this assignment, and we haven't had a fight in ages. My hands were getting itchy. I can't believe someone's practically delivered themselves to our door!"

They were siblings, still young but already Top-tier Martial Venerables, and both of them were extremely combative.

"Let's just attack."

The purple-clad man could no longer hold back. With a flash, he appeared in front of the Dragon Clan No. 1. His fist blazed with red flames, the blood-colored fire surging fiercely.

He roared, his face alight with excitement. He knew the person inside the Dragon Clan No. 1 must have an extremely distinguished identity, but he charged forward anyway.

A fist wreathed in blood-red flames grew larger and larger before slamming into the Dragon Clan No. 1.

Terrifying energy exploded. A dreadful pressure swept across the sky, its shockwaves nearly tearing space apart. The blow was so powerful that brilliant energy filled the sky.

The principal and the others poured every ounce of energy they had into the shield to protect the students.

"Ziyang, Ziyue! Keep it down!" the principal shouted.

Even he was shaken by the terrifying strength of Ziyang's power. It hardly seemed like the strength of a Top-tier Martial Venerable—could it have surpassed that level?

The three eighth-tier bloodline Federation powerhouses hurried to help, afraid that the shockwaves from the two team leaders' battle would harm the students on the training ground.

After all, the two leaders in the sky were both astonishingly powerful and held considerable status. If anything went wrong during the College Entrance Exam, the three of them would bear all the blame.

"Leaders! Take it easy!"

The three Federation powerhouses were on the verge of tears. The energy fluctuations were terrifying. The force of a single punch made the principal's shield tremble.

In the sky, Ziyue curled her lips and stamped her snow-white legs in the air. "You jerk, going to fight on your own and not even saving me a spot!"

Light shimmered in her purple eyes, and a pattern appeared between her brows. In an instant, a dazzling beam shot out, wrapped in countless mysterious symbols that wove together to form a curtain of light, covering the entire training ground.

The mysterious symbols resembled crescents, faintly visible.

Inside the Dragon Clan No. 1, Mu Qing's pupils contracted. He had been watching what was happening outside the whole time.

Ziyang's earlier punch had been terrifying. The entire Flying Warship had shaken several times, leaving him terrified.

Now he saw the power unleashed by the purple-eyed beauty, and his expression changed sharply.

The curtain of light formed from those crescent-shaped symbols gave him a strong sense of familiarity.

It was a Barrier Martial Technique!

Unlike the two water droplets Mu Qing could currently produce, the barrier the purple-eyed beauty had cast was already fully formed. She had reached at least the minor mastery level, just like Ke Fei.

"Violent external attack detected. Please issue a counterattack command!" The electronic voice rang out inside the Dragon Clan No. 1.

Unfortunately, Mu Qing wasn't Ke Fei. Ke Fei wasn't here, and Mu Qing alone couldn't issue commands to the Dragon Clan No. 1.

"Not fighting back?"

Ziyang's coat fluttered in the air. Crimson flames coiled around him, making him look like a god. The many students on the training ground gazed at him in awe.

His attack just now had only been a probing blow, but he was surprised to find that the Dragon Clan No. 1 hadn't counterattacked.

"Could it be that I'm not strong enough to hurt the Dragon Clan No. 1?" Ziyang rubbed his chin and murmured.

He had clearly seen the Dragon Clan No. 1 shake under his punch. By rights, the distinguished big shot inside should have launched a furious attack against him.

The West Lake Principal shouted, "Ziyang, the other party doesn't seem hostile!"

"No! They haven't responded at all. They're looking down on us, showing contempt for the Federation!" Ziyang said sternly. He was convinced that the Dragon Clan No. 1 was provoking the Federation.

He was going to strike and give the other party a thorough beating!

Ziyue laughed. Her purple eyes curved like crescents. She knew that once her brother got serious, he wouldn't stop until he had finished the fight, no matter what it took.

The principal's face darkened. Good grief, you were the one who attacked first. The other party hasn't responded, but they haven't fought back either. They haven't shown any hostility so far.
