57: Confident Zhao Changsheng!

Lu Sheng darted towards Tianxing City.

A moment later, a black figure slowly emerged at Lu Sheng's previous location.

In his hand, he held a document.

On the document, Su Yu's photo was clearly visible.

The black figure glanced at the Vicious Beast's corpse beside him, pondered for a moment, then pulled out a pen from an unknown place and began writing on the document in his hand.

"Body Refining, Dual Cultivation of Qi and blood, Heaven-Defying Body Refining talent. Elevated two Realms within a month. Cultivable!"

"Remaining talents... not yet discovered!"

After finishing his evaluation, the black figure looked in the direction Lu Sheng had disappeared and suddenly smiled faintly.

"First the descendant of that person, and now the Old Sword Saint's closed-door Disciple. Heh heh, this year's Star Academy really has a lot of little monsters!"

"But that's good too, if they're not monsters, Star Academy really won't accept them!"

Shaking his head gently, the black figure vanished directly into the world... Tianxing City!

The ancient city walls were covered in black bloodstains.

Even the side of the city wall facing away from the Great Xia Territory was like this.

The entire city seemed like a primeval beast, quietly coiling on the earth.

But with any stir, this city, like a primeval beast, would unleash its terrifying power!

Compared to the murderous Qi emanating from the city walls of Tianxing City,

the interior of Tianxing City was peaceful, showing no signs that this was the front line of Great Xia's defense against foreign devils.

Inside Tianxing City, along the streets, the sounds of countless vendors hawking their wares filled the air, a scene of peace.

The only difference was... these vendors were more or less physically disabled or elderly.

Young, able-bodied people were quite rare on the various streets.

And near the city gate of Tianxing City, a vast area was occupied.

At the edge of that vast area, a very crude-looking gate had been built.

On the gate, a few large characters were scrawled crookedly.

"Star Academy!"

At the entrance, an old man in a security uniform lay lazily on a rattan chair, sitting by the gate, enjoying the sunlight.

Suddenly, the old man in the security uniform slowly opened his eyes and lazily glanced towards the city gate.

A cunning smile appeared on his face.

He slowly stood up, stretched, and called out into Star Academy.

"Someone come out, guard the gate for a few days!"

The old man's voice echoed throughout Star Academy.

However, as his voice faded, there was no movement, not even the slightest rustle.

The old man's expression gradually grew strange. He cleared his throat.

"Thirty points!"

Swish swish swish!!!

As his words fell, figures instantly rushed out from Star Academy.

"I'll do it! Old Man Wang, leave this task to me, I guarantee I'll guard it well!"

"Damn it, I saw it first, get lost!"

"Pah! Let's see who gets there first!"

For a moment, a cacophony of shouts and curses erupted within Star Academy.

And amidst these shouts, a figure swiftly rushed out, appearing at the gate in an instant.

The newcomer was dressed in an extremely exaggerated outfit; despite it being the hottest part of summer, he wore a mink coat, and around his neck and wrists hung numerous seemingly expensive gem beads.

As soon as he appeared at the gate, he rubbed his hands and grinned at Old Man Wang.

"Old Man Wang, leave this task to me!"

Old Man Wang looked at the newcomer with a strange expression and said, "I say, Bai Ming, aren't you hot wearing such thick clothes in this summer heat?"

Bai Ming said with a smile, "Old Man Wang, cultivation, this is cultivation, don't you understand!"

"Alright, alright, I, an old man, don't understand, is that better!"

Old Man Wang waved his hand, glared at Bai Ming irritably, then dragged his chair and slowly walked into Star Academy.

"I'm leaving it to you for these few days. When those little rascals arrive, you handle it yourself!"

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in Bai Ming's eyes as he waved at Old Man Wang's retreating back.

"Old Man Wang, take care!"

It wasn't until Old Man Wang's figure disappeared from his sight that Bai Ming chuckled, pulled out a small chair from somewhere, and sat down comfortably.

He said to Star Academy with a mischievous grin, "Everyone, these thirty points are mine, you all should just go back honestly!"

First, there was a moment of silence in Star Academy, followed by bursts of roars.

"Go to hell, Bai Ming! If you're so capable, let's have a fair fight! What's with using magical treasures!"

"Bai Ming, don't let me catch you making a mistake, or I'll make you pay a hundredfold!!"

Inside Star Academy, curses filled the air, but Bai Ming seemed oblivious, lying on his chair, his gaze fixed on the gate of Tianxing City, his eyes filled with fervent anticipation.

"Come on, hurry up, whether this senior's points for the next year are enough depends on you all!"

"My dear... junior brothers and sisters!"

...At the same time, in a room in a hotel not far from Star Academy.

Zhao Changsheng sat by the window, able to see the direction of Tianxing City's gate.

He idly checked the watch on his wrist, propped his chin with one hand, and said somewhat boredly.

"I don't know what that guy Wang Mu wants me to do in Tianxing City. Could it be that he wants to make a move on these guys in Tianxing City? Wouldn't that be outright suicide?"

Zhao Changsheng yawned and stretched.

"No, those people of the Heaven Vein are all old schemers, as can be seen from that incident with Wang Lin. I still need to be careful, especially in a Great Xia front line like Tianxing City. Once discovered, it would be very difficult to escape!"

Zhao Changsheng murmured softly, then a look of pride welled up in his eyes.

"However, with my secret method, almost no one can discern my identity. Even a Martial Artist of the Golden Body Realm cannot sense the Devilish Qi within my body!"

Zhao Changsheng's face carried a hint of pride.

The reason he was able to infiltrate Yun City and even escape from it was entirely due to his secret method; otherwise, the Devilish Qi on his body alone would have been enough for the Martial Alliance and the military to discover him.

Even now, entering Tianxing City, he relied on his secret method to evade the military's detection in Tianxing City!
