Across the Human Realm, countless hearts trembled!

There was no other reason; it was simply because the future of Zhao Xuemei was far too legendary!

She had actually managed to rely on a talent of only one-time bone-honing to suppress a host of heaven-gifted martial artists, becoming the first female martial artist of the new generation to attain the Ninth Grade!

She even dared to challenge a Peak expert while at the Ninth Grade!

Madness, demonic madness—it was truly like a demon possessed, completely insane!

She was truly a Demon Butcher!

"It is truly hard to imagine how much Zhao Xuemei sacrificed, how many life-and-death crises she endured, and how many times she fought to be able to catch up from behind and become a Demon Butcher who strikes fear into the hearts of Earth Cave martial artists!"

"A person with such great perseverance, as long as she breaks through the limitations of her aptitude and works harder and struggles more than others, she will inevitably go further than anyone else!"

"Female martial artists are all lunatics!!"

"Isn't Zhao Xuemei a student of Lv Fengrou? The master and student are both lunatics! One crazier than the other!"

"Lunatics, Demon Lords! There are too many Demon Lords in this era!"

"The Three Realms have driven too many people mad, and Magic Martial University is a breeding ground for lunatics!"

"A Demoness Sword, a Blood Sword, a Demon Butcher... the three female martial artists of Magic Martial University are all female Demon Lords who slaughter enemies like hemp!"

"Hiss, Magic Martial University... it's too demonic!"

At Magic Martial University, Yang Xiaoman and Chen Yunxi were dumbfounded!

In the future, Xuemei was actually called the Demon Butcher and the Human Butcher by the Earth Cave, acting like a mad demon!

This was simply unbelievable, unimaginable!

Zhao Xuemei herself was so shocked that she was left speechless, her entire person stunned!

She had actually become this crazy out of admiration and a secret crush on the Future Human King, taking him as her goal and role model!

First of the Fourth Grade, first of the Seventh Grade, destroying a city single-handedly, fighting a Peak expert at the Ninth Grade... she was crazy, she was crazy, the future her was truly insane!

Chen Yunxi was full of admiration and said, "Xuemei, you are truly amazing!"

First of the Fourth Grade, first of the Seventh Grade, the first female martial artist of the new generation to attain the Ninth Grade... for Zhao Xuemei to be able to surpass her and Xiaoman with only a one-time bone-honing talent, she was truly incredible!

Yang Xiaoman also sighed with emotion.

But soon, she realized a problem.

Xuemei had a secret crush on the Future Human King?!

Yunxi also admired the Future Human King and even competed with other women for his affection!

Could this "other woman" be Zhao Xuemei?!

"Hiss!"

Yang Xiaoman gasped, her eyes trembling.

She seriously suspected that Chen Yunxi and Zhao Xuemei were so crazy in the future, carving out such illustrious reputations, all because they were secretly competing with each other!

She could already imagine it: Zhao Xuemei kills a Ninth Grade Earth Cave expert today, and Chen Yunxi will kill one tomorrow!

If you carve out a reputation in the Northern Territory, I will go to the Eastern Territory and paint it red with blood!

Who knows, they might even be competing for favor against Ji Yao of the Earth Cave!

"It really is a river of True Blood!"

Yang Xiaoman felt incomparably shocked.

They were all just too crazy!

She just didn't know which one of them, Chen Yunxi or Zhao Xuemei, would eventually become the wife of the Future Human King.

Or perhaps, was the Future Human King a scumbag?!

Inside Magic Martial University, Lv Fengrou was also dazed, completely stunned!

She knew that Zhao Xuemei had a very resilient core, proud and unyielding, persistent and fanatical!

But she never expected her to be this crazy!

Demon Butcher... this title was simply too domineering!

Lv Fengrou felt a toothache: "Could it be that this student of mine will become a Ninth Grade martial artist even before I do in the future?!"

Huang Jing, Wu Kuishan, and the others were all silent.

Magic Martial University, were there really so many lunatics?

And they were all female lunatics at that!

Chen Yunxi, Zhao Xuemei, Yang Xiaoman... their future titles were one more formidable than the next!

"Hahahaha, who says talent determines everything? A one-time bone-honing talent can still suppress a host of heaven-gifted geniuses!"

"Zhao Xuemei, well done!"

In the Capital Base, Qin Fengqing laughed wildly, his eyes flashing with the light of ambition!

As someone who had also undergone one bone-honing, his talent wasn't the strongest, but he was no weaker than anyone else; within the same realm, he feared no one!

The Heavenly Pride Ranking—he, Qin Fengqing, would also make the list!

"Magic Martial University, it truly lives up to the 'Magic' in its name!"

The people from Jingwu sighed endlessly; they couldn't compare, they really couldn't compare.

The new generation of martial artists from Magic Martial University were too crazy!

They treated the Earth Cave like a slaughterhouse and themselves like the slaughterhouse staff!

In the Capital Base, "Damn, they are too fierce!"

Fu Changding was startled. Zhao Xuemei and Chen Yunxi were too brutal; wasn't there a single gentle, water-like girl among them?

Zhao Lei felt a chill run down his spine. These two female madmen took the Demon King as their role model and goal in the future, and had turned into female demon lords themselves!

Fang Ping clicked his tongue in disbelief, completely stunned!

How did they all go crazy, one after another?

Was Magic Martial University such a prolific producer of Demon Lords?

And... Zhao Xuemei actually had a crush on him in the future!

This... Fang Ping didn't even know what to say.

In the Earth Cave, there was Ji Yao; in the Human Realm, there were Chen Yunxi and Zhao Xuemei.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoman was a normal girl and hadn't developed a crush on him out of love-hate.

Having too much charm is also a source of distress!

Fang Ping sighed inwardly.

Speaking of which, who exactly was his future wife?

Chen Yunxi was gentle and beautiful, and Zhao Xuemei had extraordinary perseverance.

But as far as martial artists went, they weren't actually suitable.

They were too good at "courting death"!

If he wasn't careful, he would lose his wife and become a widower!

Fang Ping shook his head. It was too early to think about wives; he would let nature take its course. If they were truly fated, he and she would surely end up together.

If the Three Realms were not pacified, him dating them while bearing the identity of the Future Human King would just be leading them to their deaths!

Is the appearance of the Sky Screen actually good or bad?

In the Earth Cave, The Earth Cave martial artists were all trembling with fear, feeling uneasy!

Demon Butcher Zhao Xuemei!

She slaughtered a city single-handedly!

A Rank Nine fighting a Peak!

To reach such a level despite only having one bone-honing, this girl was simply too monstrous and too terrifying!

Even without the Future Human King, the Human Realm having so many demonesses and Demon Lords would still make them shudder and feel endless dread!

The Fate King stared at the Sky Screen, his eyes icy cold.

"Demon Butcher Zhao Xuemei... another Rank One Heavenly Pride martial artist from Magic Martial University!"

"The Sky Screen having Rank One martial artists from Magic Martial University appear on the list one after another is simply too inconceivable; something is wrong!"

The Human Realm's powerhouses didn't have a generational gap; there were plenty of Heavenly Pride martial artists in the middle and high ranks.

As the Hall Master of the True King Hall of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, he knew several of the Human Realm's Heavenly Pride martial artists.

But having so many Rank One martial artists on the list was truly unusual!

This generation of the human race was not right!

"The Future Human King must be a member of the new generation of martial artists, perhaps even a Rank One martial artist from Magic Martial University!"

The Future Human King was a person of auspiciousness; he would absolutely influence the people and things around him!

Magic City Martial University, Nanjiang Martial Arts University, Donglin Martial University, Capital Martial University... The Fate King also understood that these martial universities were different academies of the human race, places specifically for cultivating genius martial artists.

Too many Heavenly Pride martial artists from Magic Martial University were making the list; it was definitely not right!

The Fate King had some understanding of the Human Realm, and Magic City Martial University shouldn't be this strong.

The only explanation was that the Future Human King was at Magic Martial University, and he had influenced those around him!

"Demoness Sword, Demon Butcher, Blood Sword... the 'Magic' is in Magic Martial University!"

"The Demon of the Human Realm is at Magic Martial University!"

King Ming's eyes were deep as he immediately voiced his speculation.

"At the Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament, the people from Magic Martial University must be killed!"

"The Magic City Earth Cave must be prioritized!"

On the other side of the Earth Cave, King Huai was also deep in thought.

Compared to King Ming, he was an Earth Cave True King who had cooperated with the Human Realm for decades, and he understood the Human Realm far better.

"Magic Martial University is not the strongest martial arts university in the Human Realm, so how could it have so many heaven-defying martial artists on the ranking list?!"

A glimmer of contemplation flickered in King Huai's eyes. His body trembled as he suddenly arrived at a bold guess!

The Future Human King is at Magic Martial University!

Among the powerhouses of the Three Realms, King Gan, Feng, King Gen, and the others were all able to cultivate to the Heavenly King realm; none of them were fools.

The number of Rank 1 martial artists on the list, especially those from Magic Martial University, was simply too high—it was truly abnormal!

"The Demon emerges from Magic Martial University, the demonic path runs rampant!"

"Chen Yunxi, Zhao Xuemei, and Yang Xiaoman are all tainted with demonic energy!"

Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold:

"Magic Martial University must be destroyed!"

"The Future Human King... the Demon King must be killed!"

"Kill the Demon King, destroy the female demons tainted by demonic energy, and return a clear sky to the Human Realm and the Three Realms!"

The powerhouses of the Earth Cave, Heaven Beyond Heaven, and the Boundary Land had all noticed the oddity of Magic Martial University by now, and they all had their own speculations!

Changshan Qi sneered: "Demon Butcher Zhao Xuemei? What an imposing title!"

"If she enters the Earth Cave, I will surely make her wish she were dead!"

"This woman is a mortal enemy of our God Continent; if I encounter her, I will kill her without fail!"

"It is hateful that the Sky Screen did not expose their appearances and figures!"

The Earth Cave martial artists gritted their teeth one after another, wishing they could devour the flesh and blood of Zhao Xuemei and the others, stepping on their corpses to achieve supreme fame and take their places!

Ji Yao's eyes were slightly cold: "The Demon Butcher Zhao Xuemei, who harbors a secret love for the Future Human King and takes him as her goal, and the Demoness Sword Chen Yunxi..."

"Heh!"

She straightened her back, full of pride:

"If the Sky Screen were to rank the heaven-defying talents of the Three Realms, this palace would surely be above them!"

In the Origin Source, The Human Emperor's eyes flickered, a smile in them.

"Interesting, is the Future Human King at Magic Martial University?"

"Magic Martial University... it really is a gathering place for heaven-defying talents!"

On the other side, The God Emperor, the Heaven Fighting Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor had similar speculations.

The Heaven Fighting Emperor whispered: "The gathering of heroes at Magic Martial University in the Human Realm is truly unusual. Is it because of the influence of the Future Human King?"

The Eastern Emperor laughed: "The Future Human King is favored by destiny. Perhaps because he is the Son of Destiny, the heaven-defying martial artists of the Human Realm have gathered around him one after another."

Did Chen Yunxi, Zhao Xuemei, and Fu Changding only become heaven-defying talents because of the Future Human King?

I am afraid not!

The Future Human King had an influence on them, but more importantly, they were outstanding in their own right.

Rather than saying the Future Human King is an auspicious sign that caused heaven-defying martial artists to emerge at Magic Martial University, it is better to say that heaven-defying talents gathered around the Future Human King, and both sides influenced each other, achieving one another together!

The God Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, a divine light flashing in his eyes.

"Perhaps we won't have to wait for the moment the Sky Screen exposes the identity of the Future Human King; someone will be able to lock onto his identity."

The Eastern Emperor and the Heaven Fighting Emperor remained silent, agreeing with the God Emperor's judgment.

The Seed and Mie must have eyes and ears in the Human Realm.

Now that the Future Human King has been confirmed to be at Magic Martial University, even if they cannot directly determine his identity, they can greatly narrow down the scope!

In the Human Realm, The God Forger frowned, his eyes deep.

"Old Ghost, the heaven-defying talents of the Human Realm are not right. There are too many Rank 1s on the list, especially those from Magic Martial University!"

"Do you think the Future Human King might be..."

The Heaven Suppressing King's eyes sharpened: "Do not guess wildly, do not speak of it, and do not investigate!"

Zhang Tao had most likely already locked onto the identity of the Future Human King, so they could not take the initiative to investigate who it was, unless Zhang Tao chose to tell them himself.

The God Forger raised an eyebrow; he wasn't a fool, so naturally, he wouldn't go to the Human Realm to investigate who the Future Human King really was.

"Besides our own guesses, others must have their own theories as well, unless the human Heavenly Prides exposed by the Sky Screen can overturn those previous assumptions!"

The God Forger gazed at the Sky Screen and sighed, "I'm afraid it won't be long before the identity of the Future Human King is completely exposed to everyone in the Three Realms!"

Upon hearing this, the Heaven Suppressing King wore a grave expression, his heart heavy.

"If only the Sky Screen could allow the Future Human King to become a Saint, or even an Emperor, on the spot!"

The God Forger clicked his tongue; he didn't really believe the Sky Screen would grant such realm-boosting rewards to youngsters.

"The Future Human King pacifying the Origin is clearly a good thing, so why now... sigh, the Three Realms have truly become a Demon Realm!"

The demonic path runs rampant, and everyone acts only for themselves.

"There are already seven Rank-1 martial artists on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!

If you count Han Xu and Fang Ping, who achieved Triple Bone Honing... that's nine Rank-1 Heavenly Pride martial artists!"

"Out of those nine, six are from Magic Martial University!"

Nan Yunyue's face turned pale, her expression extremely grave.

"Such an unusual situation will inevitably be noticed by other factions; Magic Martial University... is no longer safe!"

The number of people from Magic Martial University exposed as human Heavenly Prides by the Sky Screen was simply too high!

Especially since the women of Magic Martial University were all female Demon Lords who slaughtered enemies like grass.

And since the Future Human King was also known as the Demon King and had been slandered by the Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian as a Demon Emperor, it was easy for people to guess that the Future Human King was a Heavenly Pride martial artist from Magic Martial University!

They might even be able to deduce that the Future Human King was currently a Rank-1 martial artist!

Zhang Tao was equally worried.

Were there spies in the Human Realm?

There certainly were!

The list of participants, and even who the students of Magic Martial University were, would leak out and become known to the Earth Cave!

When that time came, the participants from Magic Martial University would surely face devastating targeting!

Li Zhen was deeply anxious, his face gloomy:

"If the Sky Screen intends to expose all twenty human Heavenly Prides in one go, then this Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament will inevitably face major upheavals!"

"Once the identity of the Future Human King is exposed, the Earth Cave will stop at nothing to kill him!"

"Should we still participate under these conditions? It might be better to just turn everything upside down and launch a thunderous strike!

Let us, the powerhouses, shoulder the risks and pressure and seize resources from all sides!"

Once the identity of the Future Human King was fully exposed, the factions hostile to the Human Realm would surely go completely insane.

Sieges, coercion, and bribery... with every possible tactic employed, could Fang Ping, a student who had just entered a martial arts university, withstand the pressure and resist the temptations?

Zhang Tao remained silent for a while before saying in a deep voice, "No matter what, we cannot take actions that would lead to the collapse of the Human Realm; we must also give these young people enough time and space to grow."

If the Three Realms were to unite and attack the Human Realm, could the current Human Realm resist them on its own?

Zhang Tao did not know.

But... while the Future Human King was important, the entire human race was equally important!

"The pressure is mounting!"

In the Capital Base, Zhang Xuan gazed at the Sky Screen and whispered to himself.

With multiple Rank-1 martial artists appearing on the list in succession, and the majority coming from Magic Martial University, anyone would start to speculate.

There was no helping it; the current generation at Magic Martial University was truly overflowing with talent.

Especially Zhao Xuemei; her growth journey was truly legendary!

For someone who had only undergone bone honing once, she was simply too badass!

Given the same resources, even Qin Fengqing couldn't compare to her.

However, to be fair... were the powers of unrequited love and role models really that strong?

Zhao Xuemei, Chen Yunxi, and Ji Yao—these three were the women most influenced by Fang Ping.

The path of a martial artist is filled with various opportunities and fortuitous encounters!

And they just happened to meet the person who provided them with these opportunities and encounters.

Fang Ping!

It could be said that without Fang Ping, there would be no legend of Zhao Xuemei, no massive transformation for Chen Yunxi, and no "regretful death" of Ji Yao in the Earth Cave.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but sigh; it was just too absurd!

"Tsk tsk, if I replaced the rewards for all three of them with fragments of future memories, that would be truly melodramatic!"

Zhang Xuan smiled.

Exposure is one thing, and being a spectator is another; it is not easy to interfere too much in matters of the heart.

As for how the future will unfold for Chen Yunxi, Zhao Xuemei, Ji Yao, and Fang Ping, everything depends on fate and their own choices.

Above the Sky Screen, golden light flickered!

Inside Magic Martial University, Zhao Xuemei gazed at the Sky Screen with complex eyes.

Now that the Sky Screen has exposed everything, will she still become the version of herself from the future?

The Future Human King... who exactly will the Future Human King she secretly loves turn out to be?

Yang Xiaoman, on the other hand, was a bit excited and expectant.

"Xuemei's reward must be amazing!"

Chen Yunxi was also happy for Zhao Xuemei, who was about to receive a reward from the Sky Screen.

[Evaluation: Zhao Xuemei, persistent and tenacious, daring to fight and struggle, ruthless and cold-hearted, with astonishing willpower. In terms of character, she is among the top of her peers!

The Demon Butcher is not a demon, but a legend!]

[Basic Reward: Unimpeded Great Dao, Transcend the Three Realms.

Advanced Reward: One drop of True Blood to reshape the foundation, Rank 4 cultivation (without any hidden dangers), one small secret realm (for personal use only).]

Boom!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, Zhao Xuemei's aura changed instantly!

"Rank 4, it really is Rank 4!"

Lv Fengrou was incredibly surprised and quickly grabbed Zhao Xuemei's shoulders to carefully examine her foundation and realm.

There was not a single trace of instability in her foundation or realm; her cultivation was consolidated with absolute solidity, her power was not out of control, and her vitality was equally robust!

It was as if Zhao Xuemei had cultivated to Rank 4 all on her own!

Chen Yunxi and Yang Xiaoman were also quite shocked and very envious.

"Xuemei is already in the Middle Ranks?!"

Zhao Xuemei was both happy and startled; she had reached the Middle Ranks!

The Sky Screen's reward was so perfectly suited to her!

Her greatest obsession right now was to become a Middle Rank martial artist and inherit her father's business.

She never expected that shortly after starting university, she would become a Middle Rank martial artist!

It was simply incredible!

"Am I really going to become a Rank 9 martial artist, or even a Peak powerhouse, before I graduate?"

Zhao Xuemei's body trembled slightly, unable to believe the changes happening to her.

She had never thought about becoming a Grandmaster, let alone a Rank 9 martial artist.

Zhao Xuemei knew clearly that the reason her future self could be so crazy and become a legend was definitely due to the influence and help of the Future Human King.

The future is not set in stone.

How the future will develop, whether she will fall in love with the Future Human King again, and whether she will still become a Peak powerhouse—no one can say for sure.

The people at Magic Martial University were shocked; the Sky Screen had actually raised Zhao Xuemei's realm!

"Incredible, the Sky Screen actually uses raising the realm of Heavenly Pride martial artists as a reward!"

"A Rank 4 realm without any hidden dangers, I'm so envious!"

"Holy crap, a Rank 1 girl just jumped straight to Rank 4; this wave is a direct takeoff!"

"Zhao Xuemei doesn't know how to play it; if it were me, I would wish to become a Grandmaster before graduation!"

"Grandmaster is still too weak; go straight for Emperor, ruler of the Three Realms!"

"..."

The reward the Sky Screen gave Zhao Xuemei exceeded everyone's expectations!

They had thought it would just be to compensate for a weak foundation, but they didn't expect it to reshape her foundation and raise her realm to Rank 4!

Although it was only Rank 4, doesn't this mean the Sky Screen could directly instill cultivation, allowing the Heavenly Pride martial artists on the list to instantly become powerhouses!

If the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian were to make the list, wouldn't it be possible for the Sky Screen to instantly turn the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor into a powerhouse?!

At this very moment, the Three Realms were shaken and filled with clamor!
