The Demon Emerges from Magic Martial University; the Future Human King Is at Magic Martial! (Please Read On)

The Human Realm trembled with shock!

There was no other reason. Zhao Xuemei's future was simply too legendary!

With the talent of having tempered her bones only once, she had managed to overwhelm a host of prodigies and become the first woman of the new generation to reach Rank Nine!

She had even dared to fight a Peak powerhouse at Rank Nine!

Utterly mad—she was like a demon, completely out of her mind!

She truly was the Human Butcher!

"It's hard to imagine how much Zhao Xuemei must have sacrificed, how many life-or-death crises she faced, and how many battles she fought to catch up and become the Demon Butcher feared by Earth Cave warriors!"

"Someone with such incredible willpower, as long as she breaks through the limits of her talent, works harder, and fights harder than everyone else, is bound to go further than the rest!"

"Female martial artists are all crazy!!"

"Wasn't Zhao Xuemei Lv Fengrou's student? They're both crazy! One crazier than the other!"

"Madwomen, demons! There are too many demons in this era!"

"The Three Realms have driven too many people insane, and Magic Martial University produces even more than its share of lunatics!"

"One Demoness Sword, one Blood Sword, one Demon Butcher... All three of Magic Martial University's female martial artists are demonesses who've slaughtered countless enemies!"

"Yikes, Magic Martial University... It's downright demonic!"

At Magic Martial University,

Yang Xiaoman and Chen Yunxi gaped in astonishment!

In the future, Earth Cave had actually called Xuemei the Demon Butcher, the Human Butcher—she was like a mad demon!

It was simply unbelievable, beyond imagination!

Zhao Xuemei herself was so shocked that she stared blankly, completely dumbfounded!

Because she admired and secretly loved the Future Human King, she had taken him as her goal and role model—and gone this crazy!

Rank Four's best, Rank Seven's best, single-handedly wiping out a city, fighting a Peak powerhouse at Rank Nine... She was crazy, crazy! Her future self was truly insane!

Chen Yunxi admired her immensely. "Xuemei, you're amazing!"

Rank Four's best, Rank Seven's best, the first woman of the new generation to reach Rank Nine... For Zhao Xuemei to surpass her and Xiaoman despite having tempered her bones only once was truly incredible!

Yang Xiaoman was also full of emotion.

But soon, she realized there was a problem.

Xuemei secretly loved the Future Human King?!

Yunxi admired the Future Human King too, and had even been jealous of other women!

Could that other woman be Zhao Xuemei?!

"Yikes!"

Yang Xiaoman sucked in a sharp breath, her eyes trembling.

She seriously suspected that Chen Yunxi and Zhao Xuemei had been so crazed in the future, earning their fearsome reputations through slaughter, because they'd secretly been competing with each other!

She could just imagine it: Zhao Xuemei killed a Rank Nine Earth Cave warrior today, and Chen Yunxi would kill one tomorrow!

If you made a name for yourself in the North Region, I'd go spill rivers of blood in the East Region!

Maybe they'd even compete over Ji Yao of the Earth Cave!

"Blood really did flow in rivers!"

Yang Xiaoman was utterly shocked.

They were simply too crazy!

She just didn't know whether Chen Yunxi or Zhao Xuemei would become the Future Human King's wife.

Or was the Future Human King a playboy?!

At Magic Martial University,

Lv Fengrou was stunned, utterly flabbergasted!

She knew Zhao Xuemei had great tenacity deep down—proud, unyielding, persistent, and fierce!

But she'd never imagined Xuemei would be this crazy!

Demon Butcher... What an overbearing title!

Lv Fengrou felt a twinge of unease. "Could my student become a Rank Nine martial artist before I do in the future?!"

Huang Jing, Wu Kuishan, and the others fell silent as well.

Did Magic Martial University have this many lunatics?

And all of them were women!

Chen Yunxi, Zhao Xuemei, Yang Xiaoman... Their future titles were more impressive than the last!

"Hahahaha! Who says talent determines everything? Even someone who tempered her bones only once can still suppress a whole host of prodigies!"

"Zhao Xuemei, well done!"

At Capital Base, Qin Fengqing laughed wildly, ambition flickering in his eyes!

He had tempered his bones only once too. His talent wasn't great, but he was no worse than anyone else. At the same rank, he feared no one!

He, Qin Fengqing, would make the Heavenly Pride Ranking too!

The people from Jingwu sighed. "Magic Martial University truly lives up to the 'Magic' in its name!"

They couldn't compete. They really couldn't.

Magic Martial University's new generation of martial artists was far too crazy!

They treated the Earth Cave like a slaughterhouse and themselves like its employees!

At Capital Base,

"Good grief, they're way too fierce!"

Fu Changding was startled. Zhao Xuemei and Chen Yunxi were far too savage! Was there not a single gentle, tender young woman among them?

Zhao Lei felt a chill. Those two crazy women had taken the Demon King as their role model and goal in the future, and had become demon queens themselves!

Fang Ping clicked his tongue, utterly dumbfounded!

Why had one person after another gone crazy?!

Did Magic Martial University produce demons in bulk?

And... Zhao Xuemei would secretly love him in the future too!

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

There was Ji Yao in the Earth Cave, and Chen Yunxi and Zhao Xuemei in the Human Realm.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoman was a normal girl. She hadn't turned her hatred into love or secretly fallen for him too.

"Being too charming is a real burden!"

Fang Ping sighed inwardly.

Come to think of it, who would his future wife be?

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

But as martial artists, neither of them was actually a good match.

They were too good at "getting themselves killed"!

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

Fang Ping shook his head. It was too early to think about a wife. He'd let things happen naturally. If they were truly meant to be, he and she would end up together.

If the Three Realms weren't at peace, then dating them while bearing the title of Future Human King would only get them killed!

"Is the appearance of the Sky Screen a good thing or a bad thing?!"

In the Earth Cave,

The Earth Cave warriors were all chilled to the bone, uneasy and apprehensive!

Zhao Xuemei, the Demon Butcher!

One woman slaughtering an entire city!

A Rank Nine warrior fighting a Peak powerhouse!

For someone who had tempered her bones only once to reach such heights, she was far too monstrous—and terrifying!

Even without the Future Human King, the Human Realm had so many demonesses and demons that they would still make the Earth Cave warriors tremble in fear!

King Ming stared at the Sky Screen, his gaze ice-cold.

"Zhao Xuemei, the Demon Butcher... Another prodigy who was a Rank One martial artist at Magic Martial University!"

"It's truly baffling that the Sky Screen has repeatedly put Magic Martial University's Rank One martial artists on the list. Something's wrong!"

The Human Realm hadn't suffered a break in its legacy, and it had no shortage of talented mid- and high-rank martial artists.

As the lord of the True King Hall under the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, he knew of several prodigies in the Human Realm.

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

Something was wrong with this generation of humanity!

"The Future Human King must be a martial artist of the new generation, and might even be a Rank One martial artist at Magic Martial University!"

The Future Human King was a person blessed with good fortune. He would definitely influence the people and things around him!

Magic City Martial University, Nanjiang Martial Arts University, Donglin Martial University, Capital Martial University... King Ming knew these were different academies in the Human Realm, dedicated to training talented martial artists.

Far too many of the prodigies making the list came from Magic Martial University. Something was definitely wrong!

King Ming understood the Human Realm. Magic City Martial University shouldn't be this strong.

The only explanation was that the Future Human King was at Magic Martial University, influencing those around him!

"Demoness Sword, Demon Butcher, Blood Sword... The demons are at Magic Martial University!

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

King Ming's gaze deepened as he immediately voiced his suspicion.

"The Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament—everyone from Magic Martial University must be killed!"

"Magic City Earth Cave must be watched closely!"

On the other side of the Earth Cave, King Huai was pondering the matter too.

Compared with King Ming, this Earth Cave True King, who had worked with the Human Realm for decades, understood it much better.

"Magic Martial University isn't the strongest university in the Human Realm. Why are so many of its prodigies on the list?!"

A glimmer of thought flickered in King Huai's eyes. He shuddered, then suddenly came up with a bold theory!

The Future Human King was at Magic Martial University!

Among the Three Realms' powerhouses, King Gan, Feng, King Gen, and the others weren't fools. They had all cultivated to the Heavenly King realm.

So many of the Rank One martial artists on the list—especially those from Magic Martial University—was truly unusual!

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

"Chen Yunxi, Zhao Xuemei, Yang Xiaoman, and the others have all been tainted by 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 die!"

"Kill the Demon King, wipe out the demonesses tainted by demonic energy, and restore 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 something strange about Magic Martial University by now, and they were making their own guesses!

Changshan Qi sneered. "Zhao Xuemei, the Demon Butcher? What an impressive title!

"If she enters the Earth Cave, I'll make her wish she were dead!"

"This woman is a sworn enemy of my God Continent. If I encounter her, I'll kill her!"

"Damn it, the Sky Screen didn't reveal what they look like or their figures!"

The Earth Cave warriors gritted their teeth, wishing they could devour Zhao Xuemei and the others' flesh, trample on their bones to make a name for themselves, and take their place!

Ji Yao's eyes turned cold. "Zhao Xuemei, the Demon Butcher, who secretly loves the Future Human King and takes him as her goal... Chen Yunxi, the Demoness Sword..."

"Hmph!"

She straightened her back, brimming with pride:

"If the Sky Screen ranks the Three Realms' prodigies, I'll be above them all!"

At the Origin Source,

The Human Emperor's eyes glimmered with amusement.

"Interesting. Is the Future Human King at Magic Martial University?"

"Magic Martial University... It really is a gathering place for prodigies!"

Elsewhere,

God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor had reached similar conclusions.

Heaven Fighting Emperor murmured, "Magic Martial University in the Human Realm is full of outstanding talent. It's truly unusual. Is that because of the Future Human King's influence?"

Eastern Emperor smiled. "The Future Human King is favored by fate. Perhaps because he is the Son of Heaven's Mandate, the Human Realm's prodigies have gradually gathered around him."

Had people like Chen Yunxi, Zhao Xuemei, and Fu Changding become prodigies because of the Future Human King?

Probably not!

The Future Human King influenced them, but they also had their own strengths.

Rather than saying the Future Human King was a bringer of good fortune who caused prodigies to emerge at Magic Martial University, it would be more accurate to say that prodigies gathered around him. They influenced each other and helped one another achieve greatness!

God Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, a flash of divine light in his eyes.

"Perhaps we won't need to wait until the Sky Screen reveals the Future Human King's identity. Someone may be able to pinpoint who he is before then."

Eastern Emperor and Heaven Fighting Emperor fell silent. They agreed with God Emperor's assessment.

The Seed and Ji must have informants in the Human Realm.

Now that the Future Human King had been confirmed to be at Magic Martial University, even if they couldn't determine his identity outright, they could still narrow down the possibilities considerably!

In the Human Realm,

God Forger furrowed his brows, his gaze deep.

"Old Ghost, something's off about the Human Realm's prodigies. Too many Rank One martial artists are on the list, especially from Magic Martial University!

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

Heaven Suppressing King's eyes narrowed. "Don't make wild guesses. Don't say it, and don't try to investigate!"

Zhang Tao had very likely already identified the Future Human King. That meant they couldn't investigate the Future Human King themselves—unless Zhang Tao chose to tell them.

The God Forger raised an eyebrow. That Old Ghost wasn't stupid; naturally, he wouldn't go poking around the Human Realm to find out who the Future Human King was.

"Besides us, other people must have their own suspicions. The only way to overturn them is if the human prodigies revealed later on the Sky Screen contradict the ones revealed so far!"

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

At this, the Heaven Suppressing King's expression turned grave, his heart heavy with worry.

"If the Sky Screen could make the Future Human King a Saint—or even an Emperor—on the spot, that would be great!"

The God Forger clicked his tongue. He didn't believe the Sky Screen would give young people such rewards that raised their cultivation by leaps and bounds.

"The Future Human King pacifying the Origin should be a good thing. How did things end up like this... Sigh, the Three Realms really have become the Demon Realm!"

The demonic path ran rampant. Everyone looked out for themselves.

"Seven first-rank martial artists have already made it onto the Heavenly Pride Ranking!

"Count Han Xu and Fang Ping, who have undergone Triple Bone Honing, and that makes nine first-rank martial prodigies!"

"Six of those nine are from Magic Martial University!"

Nan Yunyue's face paled. Her expression was grave.

"With something this unusual, the other factions will certainly notice. Magic Martial University... won't be safe anymore!"

Far too many of the human prodigies revealed by the Sky Screen were from Magic Martial University!

In particular, the women from Magic Martial University were all female demons who had slaughtered countless enemies.

And the Future Human King was known as the Demon King. The Demon Emperor, Mo Wenjian, had even slandered him by calling him the Demon Emperor.

It wouldn't take much for people to suspect that the Future Human King was a prodigy from Magic Martial University!

They might even guess that the Future Human King was currently a first-rank martial artist!

Zhang Tao was just as worried.

Were there spies in the Human Realm?

Of course!

The list of contestants—and even which martial artists belonged to Magic Martial University—would be leaked to the Earth Caves!

When that happened, the Magic Martial University contestants would certainly face devastating attacks!

Li Zhen was deeply concerned, his face dark.

"If the Sky Screen reveals all twenty human prodigies in one go, the Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament is bound to take an unexpected turn!"

"Once the Future Human King's identity is exposed, the Earth Caves will stop at nothing to kill him!"

"Should we still compete? We might as well turn the world upside down and strike with all our might!

"Let us powerful ones bear the risks and pressure, and seize resources from every faction!"

Once the Future Human King's identity was fully exposed, the factions hostile to the Human Realm would surely go completely mad.

They'd lay siege to him, threaten him, try to tempt him... They'd use every method they could. Could Fang Ping, a student who'd only just entered Martial Arts University, withstand the pressure and resist the temptation?

Zhang Tao fell silent for a while before replying gravely, "No matter what happens, we can't take any action that would bring about the Human Realm's downfall. We also have to give these young people enough time and room to grow."

If all three realms attacked the Human Realm, could it withstand them on its own as things stood?

Zhang Tao didn't know.

But the Future Human King mattered—and so did the entire human race!

"The pressure's on!"

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

With several first-rank martial artists appearing on the ranking in succession—and most of them from Magic Martial University—anyone would start to suspect something.

There was nothing they could do about it. This year's Magic Martial University students really were a remarkably talented bunch.

Zhao Xuemei's rise was especially extraordinary!

She had undergone only one bone honing, yet she was still incredibly impressive!

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

Though, to be fair... could unrequited love and the power of a role model really be that influential?

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

The path of a martial artist was full of all kinds of opportunities and lucky breaks!

And each of them had met the person who gave her those chances.

Fang Ping!

Without Fang Ping, Zhao Xuemei's legendary rise and Chen Yunxi's tremendous transformation would never have happened. Nor would Ji Yao have met her "tragic end," dying in the Earth Caves.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan couldn't help sighing. It was downright absurd!

"Tsk, if I changed all three of their rewards to fragments of future memories, that'd make for quite the melodrama!"

Zhang Xuan smiled.

The Sky Screen could reveal whatever it wanted, and he could enjoy the spectacle, but he shouldn't interfere too much in matters of the heart.

How Chen Yunxi, Zhao Xuemei, Ji Yao, and Fang Ping would fare in the future was up to fate and their own choices.

Golden light flickered across the Sky Screen!

At Magic Martial University,

Zhao Xuemei gazed at the Sky Screen with a complicated look.

The Sky Screen had revealed everything. Would she still become the person she was in the future?

The Future Human King... Who was the Future Human King she secretly admired?

Yang Xiaoman, meanwhile, was excited and eager.

"Xuemei's reward is bound to be amazing!"

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

[Assessment: Zhao Xuemei is tenacious and determined. She dares to fight and throw herself into battle, is ruthless and merciless, and has astonishing perseverance. In terms of character, she ranks among the best of her generation!

The Demon Butcher isn't a demon, but a legend!]

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

Advanced Reward: One drop of True Blood to rebuild her foundation; cultivation at the fourth rank, with no hidden problems; one small Secret Realm, for her exclusive use.]

Rumble!

With a muffled boom, Zhao Xuemei's aura changed in an instant!

"Fourth rank—it really is fourth rank!"

Lv Fengrou exclaimed in surprise. She quickly grabbed Zhao Xuemei by the shoulders and carefully examined her foundation and cultivation.

There wasn't the slightest trace of instability in her foundation or cultivation. Her realm was firmly established, her strength was under control, and her Vitality was abundant!

It was as if Zhao Xuemei had reached the fourth rank through her own cultivation!

Chen Yunxi and Yang Xiaoman were equally astonished, and quite envious.

"Xuemei's reached the middle ranks?!"

Zhao Xuemei was both delighted and stunned. She had reached the middle ranks!

The Sky Screen's reward suited her perfectly!

Her greatest wish right now was to become a middle-rank martial artist and inherit her father's business.

She hadn't even been at university for long, yet she'd become a middle-rank martial artist!

It was unbelievable!

"Am I really going to become a ninth-rank martial artist—or even a Peak powerhouse—before I graduate?"

Zhao Xuemei trembled, unable to believe the change that had come over her.

She had never imagined becoming a Grandmaster, let alone a ninth-rank martial artist.

Zhao Xuemei knew that the reason her future self could become so formidable and legendary must have been the influence and help of the Future Human King.

The future wasn't set in stone.

No one could say how things would unfold. Would she fall for the Future Human King again? Would she still become a Peak powerhouse? No one knew.

The people at Magic Martial University were stunned. The Sky Screen had actually raised Zhao Xuemei's cultivation!

"Unbelievable! The Sky Screen's actually giving prodigies higher cultivation as a reward!"

"Fourth rank, with no hidden problems? I'm so jealous!"

"Holy crap, she was a first-rank student, and now she's straight-up fourth rank! What a huge leap!"

"Zhao Xuemei really doesn't know how to play this. If it were me, I'd wish to become a Grandmaster before graduating!"

"Grandmaster's still too weak. Go straight for Emperor! Become the ruler of the Three Realms!"

"..."

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

They'd assumed it would make up for her weak foundation. Instead, it had rebuilt her foundation and raised her cultivation to the fourth rank!

Granted, she was only fourth rank. But if the Sky Screen could directly pour cultivation into someone, couldn't it instantly turn any prodigy on the ranking into a powerhouse?

If the Demon Emperor, Mo Wenjian, had a reincarnation appear on the ranking, could the Sky Screen instantly turn that reincarnation into a powerhouse too?!

At that moment, the Three Realms were in an uproar!
