200: madman!!

Amidst the swirling dust, a white figure stood out conspicuously in that spot.

“This…”

Everyone's pupils constricted slightly as they witnessed this scene.

The faint thoughts in their minds were completely suppressed the moment this white figure appeared.

Even so, tumultuous waves surged in their hearts.

One must know that Zhao Ge's attack was already terrifying; a Martial Artist of the same Realm as Zhao Ge, if they encountered this attack, would be severely injured if not killed.

But precisely… that white figure stood there, like a towering mountain Peak, unyieldingly erect.

He was completely unaffected.

Even Zhao Ge couldn't help but be stunned by the sight before him.

Gradually, the dust dissipated.

The white figure finally came fully into everyone's view.

It was then seen that an unparalleled Physical Body strength was radiating from the white-robed youth's body, spreading out little by little.

“Body Refining Seventh Layer!!”

Zhao Ge felt the extreme Physical Body strength emanating from Lu Sheng, and his pupils couldn't help but contract.

A Martial Artist at Body Refining Seventh Layer was comparable to a Martial Artist at the Body Storage Realm!

Moreover, Body Refining Martial Artists have always been known as invincible within the same Realm.

Just like Zhang Jue of Purple Thunder Academy, who, despite only having a Middle Stage Seventh Layer cultivation, could suppress Martial Artists at Body Storage Seventh Layer and even Eighth Layer.

And now, seeing the Aura of Body Refining Seventh Layer on Lu Sheng, Zhao Ge couldn't sit still.

What kind of Prodigy is this!!

It wasn't just Zhao Ge; in the lounges of the various Martial Arts Academies, looking towards Arena Two.

“Body Refining Seventh Layer Early Stage…”

Zhang Jue gnawed on a large drumstick, his gaze fixed intently on Lu Sheng.

“I originally thought Star Academy having a Xia Kong was already enough to interest me, but I didn't expect this Lu Sheng not only has a Body Storage Second Layer cultivation but also reached Body Refining Seventh Layer Early Stage… ”

“And at this age…”

Zhang Jue held the chicken drumstick in his hand and suddenly felt it was tasteless.

The person in charge of Purple Thunder Academy next to him was also stunned. He glanced at Zhang Jue, then at Lu Sheng on the arena, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

“Body Refining is already very difficult to cultivate, let alone Dual Cultivation of both Qi and Body Refining. For Lu Sheng to achieve this while Dual Cultivating is truly remarkable!”

“If we give him another year…”

The burly man seemed to have thought of something and suddenly let out a bitter laugh: “I can even imagine the scene where our Five Great Academies will be suppressed by Star Academy for the next three years!”

Such thoughts were not only present in Purple Thunder Academy.

In the lounges of Xuanji Academy, Hidden Dragon Academy, and First Military Academy.

The heads of the various Five Great Academies, including Hidden Dragon Academy's Vice Principal Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal, were also silent.

Such a Prodigy, and merely a freshman.

By this calculation, for the next three years, in this Academy Tournament, they would always be suppressed by Star Academy.

As a result, their initial joy for this Academy Tournament was diluted.

Originally, in this Academy Tournament, seeing Star Academy severely damaged, they thought they could break free from Star Academy's suppression.

And the facts seemed to be developing as they expected.

But as the freshmen Prodigies of Star Academy appeared one by one, especially with the exposure of Lu Sheng's cultivation, their hearts felt as if layers of gloom had settled upon them.

Even if they miraculously managed to escape Star Academy's suppression this time, in the future, they would still be suppressed by Star Academy, unable to raise their heads.

This feeling was like being given a glimmer of hope, but after that hope, there was a profound despair.

This feeling was truly unbearable for them!

For a moment, their expressions all turned somewhat unpleasant.

“No matter what the future holds, in this Academy Tournament, Star Academy must be trampled underfoot, even if only once… that would be enough!”

Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's eyes gleamed as he looked at Mu Tianyang.

Mu Tianyang naturally understood the other party's thoughts and said indifferently, “Don't worry, as long as Gu Changge doesn't appear, the first place in this Academy Tournament can only be ours, Hidden Dragon Academy's!”

“Besides… Zhao Ge hasn't lost yet!”

“Talk about these things when he's qualified to enter the third round and face me!”

Listening to Mu Tianyang's words, the hint of gloom in Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's heart dissipated somewhat, and a smile reappeared on his face… On Arena Two, Zhao Ge looked at Lu Sheng with a solemn expression.

Body Refining Seventh Layer Early Stage cultivation and Body Storage Second Layer cultivation, this was indeed a bit troublesome!

However, although it was a bit troublesome, it wasn't impossible to defeat him!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ge's eyes also flickered with a sharp glint.

“This little power… makes me a bit disappointed in you!”

Suddenly, Lu Sheng slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of regret.

“Hmm?”

Zhao Ge frowned slightly upon hearing these words.

He didn't understand why Lu Sheng would say that.

Then he heard Lu Sheng continue.

“Since that's the case, there's no need to waste time. The champion of Profound Sword Academy… is nothing more than this!”

Lu Sheng's voice resonated throughout the Imperial Capital Gymnasium.

Everyone was clearly stunned after hearing Lu Sheng's words, then strange expressions appeared on their faces.

What did he mean by the champion of Profound Sword Academy being nothing more than this?

You, Lu Sheng, merely withstood Zhao Ge's attack, and you dare to say such words?

This is… a bit too arrogant, isn't it!

This thought surfaced in everyone's minds.

Even Zhao Ge was angered to laughter upon hearing Lu Sheng's words.

He, the esteemed current champion of Profound Sword Academy, was actually called 'nothing more than this' by someone?

What arrogance this was.

“People from Star Academy are indeed arrogant, but I just don't know if your methods are qualified enough for you to say such things!”

Zhao Ge sneered, and a sharp Aura began to emanate from him again.

However, the next moment, Zhao Ge only felt as if something white and ghostly flashed before his eyes.

Immediately after, an intense sense of crisis directly enveloped Zhao Ge's heart.

“Hidden Dragon!!”

A low murmur suddenly exploded in Zhao Ge's ears.

Accompanying the sound of this murmur, all of Zhao Ge's hair stood on end at this moment.

He could only feel that before his eyes, an abyss seemed to appear, and within that abyss, a pair of enormous pupils slowly opened.

Those eyes were filled with a noble and majestic Aura.

Just a single glance, and a strong fear arose in Zhao Ge's heart.

Even his body couldn't help but tremble.

Roar, roar, roar!!!

In an instant, the owner of those eyes let out a series of roars, and then, within that abyss, a Flood Dragon suddenly soared into the sky.

It completely rushed out from within the abyss and coiled before Zhao Ge.

And then… it swooped down!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

An extreme roar directly exploded on Arena Two, and the terrifying energy unleashed its ultimate power.

In an instant, everyone could only see endless Sword Qi directly covering the entire Arena Two, so much so that looking at the endless Sword Qi, their eyes felt incredibly stinging, and they dared not look directly.

The roaring in their ears even caused the eardrums of some weaker audience members to sting repeatedly, seemingly unable to withstand this extreme power.

After an unknown period, the extreme roar slowly dissipated.

The Sword Qi covering the arena also gradually dispersed at this moment.

Only then did everyone look towards Arena Two and clearly see the scene on the arena.

However, the sight before them made everyone's pupils contract involuntarily.

On the arena, a figure in white stood silently, while not far from the white-robed youth, Zhao Ge knelt on the ground, his clothes shattered and covered in blood, his Aura extremely weak.

Moreover, sharp Sword Qi constantly stimulated his wounds, causing the expression on Zhao Ge's face to become extremely pained.

Thump!

The next moment, Zhao Ge, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to finally give out, collapsing directly onto the ground and falling unconscious.

Instantly, the entire Imperial Capital Gymnasium fell into a prolonged silence.

Zhao Ge lost!

This contemporary leader of Profound Sword Academy lost!

This Prodigy who comprehended Third-tier Heavenly Tiger Sword Intent, was at Body Repository Seventh Layer, and had over a million Qi and blood, lost!!

Many people swallowed at this moment, looking in horror at the severely damaged arena, at Zhao Ge lying unconscious on it.

Finally, their gazes shifted to the white-robed figure.

The white-robed youth looked calmly towards Profound Sword Academy and said in an indifferent voice.

"Next!!"

The clear voice resonated, tugging at the heartstrings of countless people.

Especially the person in charge of Profound Sword Academy.

Inside Profound Sword Academy's lounge, there was complete silence, the person in charge of Profound Sword Academy sat silently on the sofa.

Zhao Ge lost, and he lost so completely.

Lu Sheng's voice rang out; he glanced at Arena Number Two, then finally let out a long sigh and softly said.

"Profound Sword Academy... concedes!"

Upon hearing this, the already somewhat quiet Imperial Capital Gymnasium became even more silent, as if the sound of a falling needle could be clearly heard.

Profound Sword Academy conceded!

However, everyone remained silent.

Even Zhao Ge lost, so what could Profound Sword Academy possibly offer to defeat Lu Sheng?

Even if Lu Sheng had gone through a major battle with Zhao Ge and was greatly depleted, perhaps Profound Sword Academy would have a chance to defeat Lu Sheng.

But don't forget... Star Academy still has four unplayed members!

Under such circumstances, Profound Sword Academy had no hope of turning the tables, only defeat.

"Star Academy... wins!!"

Finally, the Academy Tournament organizing committee broke the silence in the Imperial Capital Gymnasium and announced Star Academy's victory.

At this point, Star Academy advanced directly to the third round with a perfect group stage record!

They entered the top five.

"Good!!!"

In Star Academy's lounge, Lan Zhan, hearing the committee's judgment, couldn't help but flush red, clenching his fist forcefully, and it took several minutes for him to regain his composure.

He looked at these youngsters of the forty-fifth session, and an idea emerged in his mind.

"Perhaps... Star Academy's undefeated record will also be continued by these youngsters!"

Lan Zhan couldn't help but be startled when he realized he had this thought.

Although they defeated Profound Sword Academy, there are still the other Five Great Academies!

After all, Profound Sword Academy is only ranked third among the Five Great Academies.

Above Profound Sword Academy, there are Hidden Dragon Academy and First Military Academy!

Even setting aside these two Martial Arts Academies, Xuanji Academy and Purple Thunder Academy are not to be underestimated.

This ranking was only last year's ranking!

This year, everything is to be reshuffled.

But looking at the combat power displayed by Lu Sheng and the other four, Lan Zhan subconsciously chose to believe his own thought.

Perhaps... they really can create a miracle.

On the arena, Lu Sheng's brow slightly raised: "Conceded?"

Lu Sheng also felt some regret; he originally thought Zhao Ge could give him some pressure, but although there was some pressure, it was negligible for Lu Sheng.

He didn't even have to use his trump card.

Lu Sheng felt a bit helpless in his heart, but his gaze involuntarily turned towards Hidden Dragon Academy's lounge. However, due to the one-way glass, Lu Sheng couldn't see the scene inside the lounge.

But in his mind, Mu Tianyang's arrogant figure from the first round appeared.

Lu Sheng couldn't help but smile faintly.

"I hope this guy... can bring me some surprises!"

Lu Sheng smiled and, under everyone's gaze, slowly walked into Star Academy's lounge.

A moment later, the Imperial Capital Gymnasium returned to normal order.

In the second group, Star Academy naturally secured their spot in the third round with a perfect record.

Among the other groups, those who entered the third round were Purple Thunder Academy, Xuanji Academy, First Military Academy, and Hidden Dragon Academy.

Since Star Academy was not included in the ranking, Profound Sword Academy also entered the third round by virtue of this rule.

However, everyone knew that even if Profound Sword Academy entered this third round, it would be difficult for them to go far.

After all, Zhao Ge's injuries were too severe, and he couldn't recover to his Peak state in just one night!

Such news also spread rapidly across the internet through various news agencies.

Immediately, on the internet, a topic hung high at the top of the trending list.

"Star Academy Captain Lu Sheng, slays Zhao Ge with his sword, leading Star Academy into the third round!"

The illustration for the topic was precisely Lu Sheng, holding the Dragon Slayer Sword, standing majestically amidst the ruins of the arena.

Heroic and spirited.

For a time, the topics of Star Academy and Lu Sheng gained unprecedented popularity on the internet.

Countless netizens posted threads one after another.

However, Lu Sheng and the others were unaware of all this.

After the second round ended, they returned directly to Star Pavilion.

In the room, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by cultivation resources.

"Perhaps... I can continue to Breakthrough!"

Lu Sheng's lips curved slightly upward.

Under the blessings of the Human Immortal Physique and Hundredfold Amplification, and with the immense resources at his disposal, Lu Sheng's cultivation speed was naturally terrifying.

For others, perhaps only a day or two was extremely short, but for Lu Sheng, this time was enough to advance his cultivation further!

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes and began to absorb these cultivation resources, silently enhancing his cultivation.

For a time, a rich Qi and blood power filled the room... That night, countless stars hung high in the night sky, diligently shining their light, wanting to illuminate the entire darkness.

Within the Great Xia Territory, beneath endless wind and snow, an ancient city stood silently upon the heavy snow, with armored soldiers standing on its city walls.

And in front of that city, endless Devilish Qi covered the sky and earth, presenting a stark contrast with the white snowflakes.

On the city gate, three large characters were clearly written.

"Yin Yang City!!"

Black is Yin, white is Yang, this is Yin and Yang!

Yin Yang City, expelling black Yin and guarding white Yang, one of Great Xia's nine front-line cities!

However, under the shroud of night, the distinct appearance of Yin Yang City still dimmed a few shades.

And on a snow-capped mountain not far from Yin Yang City, two figures stood silently at the Peak of the snow mountain.

One wore a gray athletic hoodie, but paired with shorts, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a phone, a smile on his lips, appearing incredibly out of place in this cold world.

Beside him, another person wore a black robe, but with a dog-head mask covering his face.

"I didn't expect my junior brother to have such capability, helping Star Academy enter the third round!"

The youth said with a smile, a hint of pride in his expression.

"I'm finding it harder and harder to see through you. Are you on Great Xia's side, or on the side of the alien demons?"

"You always give me a certain feeling..."

The dog-head masked figure couldn't help but say.

The youth's brow slightly raised, but the smile on his face did not fade at all.

"What feeling?"

After a moment of silence, the dog-head masked figure slowly uttered a word.

"Madman!!"
