Airport terminal.
Some important figures exchanged pleasantries upon meeting.
" Icy Cold Divine General, it's been over a year since we last met. I heard your grandson is also a freshman at the Martial Arts Academy this year?"
"That kid's no good, just Fifth-Grade Martial Artist. I originally thought Ning Chuan was the one who could win the title of King of Freshmen, but he's been restricted. Now, I'm more optimistic about Xiao Fenghua!"
"I share a similar view with you. In the school's history, the top scorer in the college entrance examination from the Capital Administrative Region has the highest chance of winning the King of Freshmen' title!"
" Clan Head Zhang, I must refute you. Hong Yan has the greatest chance of becoming the King of Freshmen. His Heaven-Burning Ability, in terms of both power and potential, is no less than that of the Supreme Physique!"
" Ji Hao's success rate should be quite high; he's the strongest college entrance exam scorer in the Eastern Wilderness Administrative Region in over thirty years!"
These important figures walked and talked, discussing the upcoming Freshman Exchange Competition.
They knew each other.
The Federation is very large.
But the top circle is actually very small.
Led by Student Council council members, many important figures headed to the Soaring Dragon Auditorium.
That's where Galaxy University holds some celebrations.
For example, yesterday's welcome ceremony for new students.
However, for some reason, the venue for this Freshman Exchange Competition was also chosen to be the Soaring Dragon Auditorium.
10:00 AM.
The new students of the Martial Arts Academy gathered in the Soaring Dragon Auditorium.
"The school administration is really up to something!"
Song Shiyu stood beside Ning Chuan, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I think I understand now, why not choose the training ground as the competition venue!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Ning Chuan's eyes.
The Soaring Dragon Auditorium has a distinctive architectural style, with a high platform in the center, over 100 meters high, and steps on all four sides extending downwards.
Its shape resembles a flat-topped pyramid.
Normally, the host or performers at ceremonies stand on a high platform so that everyone can see them clearly.
At this moment, on the high platform stood a chair made of black metal, with multiple weapons densely arranged to form the back of the chair, which gleamed with a cold luster under the light.
The style is rough and rugged, hardly exquisite.
However, the entire seat exudes a sense of domineering power!
"I'm sure you're all familiar with the Rule of the Freshman Exchange Competition, so I won't go into detail. You can fight alone or team up with others, it's all up to you!"
A middle-aged man stood on a high platform, explaining the competition Rule.
Zhou Yang, Dean of the Martial Arts Academy.
Boundary Divine General, titled Radiant Sun!
He once held out alone for half an hour during an attack by a foreign Heavenly King.
"However, please remember one thing: your score is based on your performance. A team of two defeating an opponent will definitely not score as high as a single person defeating them!"
Zhou Yang said calmly.
The sound, amplified by the vibrations of the Force, clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"I'm sure all of you have noticed this chair!"
Zhou Yang pointed and said loudly, "The school has named it ' The Throne,' as for why it's called that..."
At this point, a smile appeared on Zhou Yang's face as he said, "It's related to the selection of the King of Freshmen!"
Besides the path of scoring first place.
To all the freshmen here, whoever sits on the Throne will be the King of Freshmen!
The words were finished.
The Soaring Dragon Auditorium erupted in chaos.
The place was bustling with noise.
The appearance of the Throne has added even more uncertainty to the already chaotic competition.
If you're lucky.
Even those who have reached the Awakening Stage Nine might succeed.
Many of the new students looked up at the black Throne on the high platform, their eyes filled with fervor.
However, they also knew the truth in their hearts.
Those who get close to the Throne will surely be attacked by the masses!
"I hereby declare the 1099th Annual Freshman Exchange Competition of the Federation Calendar officially open!"
Zhou Yang's voice resounded throughout the Soaring Dragon Auditorium.
The words were finished.
He took to the air and flew towards the viewing platform not far away, leaving only a black Throne, which he occupied alone on the high platform!
The new students on site did not immediately fall into a chaotic fight.
More than half of the new students turned around in perfect unison and surged toward Ning Chuan's location like waves crashing on the shore.
In their hearts.
Defeating Ning Chuan, without exaggeration, is more important than winning the title of King of Freshmen.
and.
Judging from the restrictions imposed on Ning Chuan by the school board.
The score used to defeat Ning Chuan was absolutely astonishingly high.
To some extent.
Defeating Ning Chuan and winning the King of Freshmen are essentially the same thing.
All the important figures on the viewing platform, including school board members, mentors, and the genius students on the Heroes Ranking, all turned their attention to the area where Ning Chuan was located.
It's not that everyone wants to pay attention to Ning Chuan.
no way.
The best among the new students almost all gathered around Ning Chuan.
Watching the new students rushing towards him, Ning Chuan's eyes were indifferent. He circulated his Force and was about to make a move when he heard a powerful shout.
"Don't come and cause trouble, you unauthorized people!"
The Silver Moon Divine Body Ji Hao made a powerful move.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A silver moon appeared, dazzling and bright, and quickly swept across the sky, sending dozens of oncoming freshmen flying.
Blood splattered.
The sounds of collision were mixed with the crisp cracking of breaking bones.
at the same time.
The blazing flames swept across the sky and in all directions, their power terrifying. Even the floor, which had not come into contact with the flames, showed signs of turning into magma.
The nearby freshmen's expressions changed drastically, and they retreated in panic.
The slower freshmen tried to fight back with the Force, but it was useless. They were ignited by the flames and melted in the blink of an eye.
Ultimately, the referee intervened to save the day, preventing it from being reduced to ashes.
Hong Yan's gaze swept over the crowd like lightning, and he said coldly, "New students without the combat strength of Peak Ninth-Grade Martial Artist, get lost! You are not qualified to join my battle with Ning Chuan!"
Before he could finish speaking...
boom!
A powerful surge of energy appeared as Xiao Fenghua unleashed a palm strike from mid-air.
He didn't use any martial arts techniques; he simply gathered his Force into a streak of light.
But Vaillant is still terrifying!
More than a dozen fifth and Sixth-Grade Martial Artist, even working together, couldn't stop them. They were sent flying backward, lying on the ground coughing up blood, unable to get up, and had to withdraw from the competition on the spot.
These three top freshmen made their moves in succession, which was very intimidating. The other freshmen temporarily stopped in their tracks and dared not rush towards Ning Chuan.
"I don't care about your attitude. Ning Chuan's only opponent is me!"
Xiao Fenghua's gaze was fixed on Ning Chuan.
Hong Yan sneered and said, "The top scorer in the Capital Administrative Region, you really know how to put on airs! Who do you think you are!"
"If I remember correctly, I was the first person to declare war on Ning Chuan!"
Ji Hao was tall and imposing, with a silver moon hovering in the sky above him, radiating a powerful aura that enveloped Hong Yan and Xiao Fenghua.
The three were locked in a stalemate.
They all wanted to fight Ning Chuan alone and win.
The joint effort to defeat Ning Chuan was ineffective.
The score was low.
If word gets out, it won't sound good, and it won't cause a stir!
"The three of you are being a bit noisy."
At that moment, a detached voice rang out, breaking the standoff between the three.
The darkness of night rose in Ning Chuan's eyes.
Dark Night Abyss!
An invisible spiritual force spread like lightning.
Amidst countless shocked gazes, the silver moon that Ji Hao had condensed trembled violently and vanished instantly.
He didn't struggle at all; his body went limp, and he crashed heavily to the ground with a thud.
Hong Yan and Xiao Fenghua, too, fell at Ning Chuan's feet as if their lives had been taken away.
The vast Soaring Dragon Venue.
moment.
Silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop!
