Your opponent is me

Jiang Xuan chuckled inwardly. It was clear that after seeing him easily defeat Swallow Blood, Pang Jinghai had also taken him for a powerful Three-Star Martial Emperor.

This gave him a new idea: if he were to defeat several top students whose true Realm was Martial Emperor in front of many people during this Martial Saint's Remains Competition, wouldn't everyone assume that Lu Renjia, his Incarnation, was also a Martial Emperor?

This way, it would be even harder for people to connect Lu Renjia to his true identity.

Thinking this, Jiang Xuan's gaze swept around again, and he asked Pang Jinghai:

"From the looks of it, you seem to know all the powerful individuals who have come to participate in this Martial Saint's Remains Competition?"

Pang Jinghai's face showed a look of self-satisfaction:

"Of course! After all, I'm so handsome, they're all happy to be friends with me. Actually, it's mostly people from our Yan School Alliance and the Three Great Martial Arts Halls in the City of Flame. Prodigies from other nations and even planets probably don't even know that a martial dao sacred remains has appeared here."

After a slight pause, he began to list them:

"The strongest student under twenty from Seven Star University is, of course, me. The strongest from Mangu University is Swallow Blood, who has already been defeated by you, Brother Lu. As for the strongest from Li Huo University, it's the Twin Stars of Divine Fire you just met."

Jiang Xuan nodded coolly:

"Mm, continue."

Pang Jinghai smiled and continued:

"As for the strongest from Qinglian University, it's actually a freshman named Li Qingshen. It's said—of course, I've only heard—that he's the illegitimate son of a certain martial dao professor from Chaos University. He's only nineteen and is already a Three-Star Martial Emperor, much more powerful than me. He's considered the strongest among us."

Jiang Xuan's gaze flickered slightly, noting down the name.

In fact, although Pang Jinghai came from a Planet-level Family, he was, after all, driven out with his mother. The martial dao resources he could enjoy were vastly different from those of the younger generation in Planet-level Families, especially far inferior to those inheritors.

Similarly, the other top students of the Yan School Alliance, as well as the Prodigies of the Three Great Martial Arts Halls, at most only had some intricate connections with Planet-level Families or forces of the same Rank, but none of them could be the core individuals that those major forces were cultivating with all their might.

After all, if they were truly inheritors like Xuanyuan Feng, they wouldn't join the Yan School Alliance or the Three Great Martial Arts Halls. Their only targets would be Qiankun University and Chaos University, the two most prestigious, supreme academies and martial dao Holy Lands in the Human Federation, which only recruit the top thirty in the martial dao College Entrance Examination each year.

At this moment, Pang Jinghai continued:

"Green Python Martial Hall didn't have time to send anyone this time because the people they sent earlier were all wiped out by us, hehe. Then there's Murong Hai from Yunhai University, Mu Su from Zhoutian Martial Hall, and the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor from Fulong Martial Arts Hall. These are the most promising ones in this Martial Saint's Remains Competition. Before their strength was suppressed, they were all genuine Martial Emperors."

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, committing these names to memory.

"Murong Hai, Mu Su, Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor, mm... and Li Qingshen, Twin Stars of Divine Fire..."

He decided to go knock out the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor right now.

For no other reason than that the name sounded too arrogant—both "Subduing Dragon" and "Saber Emperor"—which made his teeth itch a little, and he was also curious to see the true face of this Prodigy from Fulong Martial Arts Hall.

Of course, there was also the factor of the Xuanyuan Family being behind Fulong Martial Arts Hall.

"Where is the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor?"

The next moment, Jiang Xuan spoke, his tone as serious as ever.

Pang Jinghai gasped, not expecting Lu Renjia to suddenly go directly after the Martial Emperor-Rank Prodigies of this event.

He suddenly felt a bit fortunate that he had gotten to know Lu Renjia through a fight right from the start; otherwise, he might already have been knocked out by Lu Renjia.

"He, he's not on the front field, and probably not on the back field either. He should be in the back mountain. Shall we go take a look?"

"Mm," Jiang Xuan nodded indifferently.

Immediately, the group flew towards the back mountain of Lei Cheng No. 1 Middle School.

Due to the appearance of the martial dao sacred remains, the originally lush back mountain now not only had a largecrack running through its middle, almost splitting the mountain in half, but even the flowers and plants on the mountain were buried by earth and rocks due to the mountain's tremors.

Many figures could be seen moving in and out of thecrack, seemingly searching for something.

"These people are truly deluded. They probably think that besides leaving the martial dao sacred remains, that Martial Saint might have left behind other Treasure Troves, haha."

Pang Jinghai mercilessly mocked the people flying out of the mountain'scrack. After all, their flying out surely meant there was nothing inside.

But almost the next moment, his expression suddenly became excited, and he pointed to the entrance of the mountain'scrack.

"Brother Lu, look quickly! That guy is the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor! I was once injured by him!"

Jiang Xuan followed his gaze and saw a nimble young man, carrying a giant saber, slowly flying out of the mountain'scrack.

The young man's face was full of cold indifference and murderous intent, like a sharp blade, seemingly capable of cutting people apart at any moment.

The giant saber he carried was covered in intricate, complex patterns, clearly extraordinary at a glance.

Jiang Xuan's gaze sharpened. As an Elementary Artisan and Yellow Rank Artifact Refiner, he recognized that the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor was carrying a grandmaster-level artisan artifact on his shoulder!

Sure enough, the next moment, Pang Jinghai spoke:

"Oh, right, Brother Lu, you need to be careful of his saber. He found it on a desolate life planet during his travels in the Universe. It's a Grandmaster Craftsman creation, and it's said to be extremely ancient. The last time our Seven Star University and Fulong Martial Arts Hall had a martial arts display, I was injured by him with that saber; I almost died."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes, a chill rising in his heart.

Perfect, while snatching the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor's light points, he could also avenge Pang Jinghai!

Suddenly, the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor's figure paused, seemingly noticing them. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he flew directly over.

The back mountain already had about three hundred people gathered, many of whom had rushed over from the front and back fields. Seeing this, some busybodies immediately exclaimed:

"The Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor is flying towards Pang Jinghai!"

"Oh my god, does he want to injure Pang Jinghai again?"

"It's also possible he's afraid Pang Jinghai will retaliate this time and plans to knock him out first, haha!"

"A great battle between the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor and Seven Star University's strongest Prodigy under twenty! This will be a sight to behold!"

"It's probably going to be even more intense than the Twin Stars of Divine Fire's fight just now!"

Many people flew directly towards them, deliberately leaving a hundred-meter circle, seemingly to allow the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor and Pang Jinghai to perform.

Some even prepared to take advantage of the situation; for example, if the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor and Pang Jinghai both ended up injured, they could swiftly knock out both and snatch their light points.

Perhaps, they could secure the victory for the martial dao sacred remains in one fell swoop!

Seeing the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor almost turn into a black blur, about to fly in front of Pang Jinghai.

At this moment, Lu Renjia, Jiang Xuan's Incarnation, suddenly flashed, blocking the Subduing Dragon Saber Emperor's path, and spoke in a calm voice:

"Your opponent is me."
