Chapter 61: The Overlord's Sword

  Witnessing this scene, Meng Dong Wang finally couldn't calm down and exclaimed: "【Sinking Sword Style】and 【Absolute Shadow Knife】, combining two techniques as one! This Lin Tian Wang actually has such talent, still in the second level of martial realm, yet he can merge two top-grade combat skills into one."

  Feng Yan bit his thumb nail and said in a low voice, "That Sun Yan is not ordinary either. In that situation, he was able to capture the trajectory of the wooden knife, accurately hitting the back of the knife, causing the knife's momentum to shift, and turning a dead end into a new beginning. The eyesight and determination required for this are terrifying!"

  The two exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

  Meng Dongwang sighed, "Even when I was a freshman, it wasn't this bad. Unfortunately, these two are just ordinary department students. If they were in our elite department's student union, we wouldn't have to worry about finding the next core member."

  The student union of ordinary department and elite department, on the surface is equal mutual assistance, but in fact are independent systems, private competition has never stopped.

  "Feng Yan smiled triumphantly and said, 'Haha, our law enforcement team is the only one in the whole school. Sun Yan is just to my liking, I'll take him. As for Lin Tianwang, I heard that both the Student Union and the Student Association of the ordinary department have secretly contacted him.'"

  Meng Dongwang shook his head and sighed, deeply regretful. He straightened up his body and muttered: "It's over. Seeing such an excellent match between the two newcomers is worth the ticket price tonight. Continuing to fight would be meaningless, it's time to end it."

  At this moment, Lin Tianwang suddenly said: "Sun Yan, I'm glad that the first opponent to conquer Emperor Feng Academy is you. However, if your best combat skill is only 【Two-Section Burst Fist】, then you are doomed to lose to my sword tonight."

  Sun Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, really not understanding where Lin Tianwang's confidence came from. However, Lin Tianwang also hit his weak spot, and now the only battle technique he could use was 【Two-Section Burst Fist】. He made up his mind that once he had enough school credits, he would definitely go to the library to learn a few more advanced battle techniques.

  "Take this sword from me!"

  Lin Tianwang slowly sheathed his sword, his left hand pulling back on the scabbard while his right hand grasped the hilt, assuming a stance as if to draw it out again.

  In an instant, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena suddenly solidified, and a majestic aura burst out from Lin Tianwang's body.

  Sun Yan's face turned solemn, and for the first time, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. Lin Tianwang's knife had not even been unsheathed, yet an overwhelming pressure was already bearing down on him.

  What kind of battle skill is this?

  Inside, it's like a torrential current, wildly rotating non-stop. Sun Yan stepped on the dragon pillar, unmoving as a mountain. Yuan force poured into his arms, and his fists slightly trembled. The luster of yuan force appeared and disappeared.

  Bang!

  Like a war drum beating, shocking the heart, Lin Tianwang drew his sword, black hair fluttering without wind, blade pointing straight ahead, with an air of thick and heavy ancient grandeur, the aura of a mad overlord unmatched.

  "Blade's Inquiry of This Life!"

  In the martial arts arena, a transparent knife shadow suddenly appeared, a ten-meter-long knife shadow broke through the air and stabbed out, who dares to compete with me in this life?

  At this knife move, Meng Dong Wang suddenly stood up and exclaimed in shock: "Dà Bà Wáng Dāo!"

  Feng Yan's whole body shook, almost sliding down from his seat, muttering in a low voice: "Damn it, the 'Great Overlord Sword' on the 'Divine Skills Ranking List'. Is this a joke? The nearly legendary 'Great Overlord Sword', and yet such a newcomer is just an ordinary department student."

  Meng Dongwang immediately revealed a smile and teased: "Feng, it seems that this time you owe me a bottle of D-grade nutrient solution."

  A ten-meter sword shadow came across the sky, blowing Sun Yan's hair back and flying backwards, revealing his firm face.

  Never had Sun Yan felt such a suffocating sense of crisis, but facing this intense pressure, his heart was as calm as an ancient well, just like when he was 8 years old, struggling between life and death after the car accident, without feeling any fear.

  The internal yuan force rotated to the limit, bursting out a gurgling sound of flowing water. The immortal riding dragon diagram reappeared in his mind, and Sun Yan took a step forward, thumping the ground with a slight tremor.

  A thick and heavy power surged out from the ground, pouring into his body and merging with Sun Yan's inner yuan. This power was so strong that it made his meridians ache, and the barrier of a second-level warrior that had been stagnant for a long time seemed to be on the verge of breaking through its shackles.

  Eyes fixed on a ten-meter sword shadow, Sun Yan's shoulders slightly moved, and in the space of one breath, he slowly threw out three punches.

  One fist, the knife's shadow halts.

  Two fists, knife shadow blurred.

  Three punches, shattered knife shadows.

  Bang bang bang......

  A ring-shaped air wave burst forth with the knife fist strike as its center, amidst shattered knife shadows a half broken wooden knife flew into the air, flipping over in mid-air before landing on the ground with a thud, quivering slightly without stopping.

  Drip, drip, drip...

  A streak of blood slid from Sun Yan's fingers, and upon looking back at Lin Tianwang, a thread of blood also dripped from the wrist that grasped the knife.

  Draw!

  Outside, Feng Yan and Meng Dongwang stood up, looking at the two newcomers in the arena, unsure of what to say.

  Lin Tianwang casually tossed the half wooden knife to the ground, a respectful expression on his face. "Sun Yan, I'm delighted that you're my first opponent in conquering Emperor Feng Academy. Next time we meet, I will definitely emerge victorious."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the martial arts arena.

  Looking at Lin Tianwang's back, Sun Yan murmured: "Perhaps this is the first draw of my life, and also the last one. Unfortunately..."

  Sun Yan felt a pang of regret in his heart, not because he hadn't defeated his opponent, but because he hadn't smoothly broken through to the third level of martial arts. If the battle could have continued for a while longer, he was confident that this time he would definitely be able to break through to the realm of a third-level warrior.

  Of course, if he can break through to the third-level martial boundary in one go, the power of [Second Segment Burst Fist] under the amplification of Town Dragon Pillar will undergo a qualitative change. Then the outcome of the battle, Lin Tianwang will be hard-pressed to escape the fate of defeat.

  Perhaps this is also the reason why Lin Tianwang showed a respectful color, this proud young man knew that as the battle continued, the balance of victory and defeat would shift.

  Sun Yan turned around and bid farewell to Feng Yan and Meng Dongwang, saying he was going back to get a good sleep and recharge his energy. Of course, before leaving, he took both rice balls with him.

  In the martial arts arena, Meng Dongwang sat back in his seat, recalling the previous battle and sighed: "The 'Divine Skill Ranking' [Dà Bà Wáng Dāo], I didn't expect it to appear on a new student from an ordinary department. With the realm of a second-level warrior, activating the first move of [Dà Bà Wáng Dāo] can only exert less than one-tenth of its power, but I have to admit that this Lin Tianwang is a genius, an absolute top-notch genius."

  Feng Yan smiled and said, "What about that Sun Yan? This kid is not simple either. Three moves of the Second Segment Burst Fist, and he actually shattered the knife's shadow with brute force. He must have practiced another combat technique that can increase the power of the Second Segment Burst Fist by more than 20%. A combat technique like this is at least fifth-grade. Haha, in such a disadvantageous situation, he still thought about breaking through to the second level of martial arts and locking down the victory with one move. This kid is really bold! I like him!"

  Meng Dong Wang Qi said: "It's rare to see you so enthusiastic about a newcomer, wanting him to take over as the captain of your law enforcement team?"

  "What's wrong with that? I'm in third grade now, and in another year, I'll be serving in the military department. Of course, I have to find a good candidate for the future of the law enforcement team." Feng Yan said matter-of-factly, "This Sun Yan is the most suitable person."

  Meng Dongwang thought for a moment and smiled: "With the excellent abilities of these two newborns, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing to recruit Sun Yan into the law enforcement team."

  "Didn't you say so before? Xu Xuyao has set his sights on this kid, heh heh, this kid's days ahead won't be easy. I heard that Zhang Cheng's grandson, Qiu Shanlin from the Qiu family, entered our Imperial Wind through the back door after Qiu Shanlin left, and is now mixed up with Xu Xuyao that soft egg. Humph, a chip off the old block. General Zhang Cheng was brave and fierce in his generation, yet he gave birth to such a useless grandson."

  Feng Yan said with a smile, revealing his white teeth, "However, it's easy to add flowers to brocade, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. I'd rather thank Xu Xuyao that fool, for letting me easily send charcoal in the snow."

  Meng Dongwang leaned back in his chair, a smile floating on his face, and muttered: "This time's ordinary department is going to be quite lively. These two younger brothers might stir up a considerable commotion in the ordinary department, ruffling the calm surface of the spring water."

  ……

  The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the air was fresh.

  Di Feng Academy is located on the Cangying Treading Clouds Mountain, with an elevation of 1400 meters. Ordinary people can't adapt to life here at all, but for warriors, this isn't a problem. As for the school's Science Institute, this area is enveloped in a transparent light shield, allowing students of the Science Institute to live and study normally.

  In the early morning, Sun Wen walked on the street, following the instructions of "The Emperor's Student Handbook", heading to his own classroom.

  It wasn't until morning that I discovered the information in the "Imperial Student Handbook" on this micro-optical brain was updated at any time, and some important notices from the college would be notified to students through this micro-optical brain.

  In "The Emperor's Student Handbook", Sun Yan's information changed again, showing that he was assigned to Class 77 of the ordinary department in the first grade, with an average admission score of A-.

  There are a total of 500,000 martial arts students enrolled this year, with about 10,000 elite department students and the rest being ordinary department freshmen.

  40,000 ordinary department freshmen, divided into 100 classes, with 400 students in each class. Sun Yan was assigned to Class 77, which made him quite resentful, as if he had a bad affinity for these unlucky numbers. In comparison, Class 69 at Nan Ying College suited his taste better.

  The number 69 always sparks men's fantasies.

  As for his own entrance average score being A-, Sun Yan didn't mind, probably because he was dragged down by the cultural course scores of the graduation exam.

  Arriving at Class 77, the classroom was already packed with people. The seats in the advanced college were not fixed, and students could find their own seats. The large classroom could accommodate thousands of people, and there were always empty seats to be found.

  Sun Yan looked around, considering finding a secluded spot, he had always loved hidden seats where he could sleep whenever he wanted.

  Suddenly, a clear and crisp voice came: "A Yan, here."

  At the back of the classroom, Shui Lian Qing raised her hand and beckoned Sun Yan over to sit down, having already saved a seat for him.

  Splash!

  The eyes of the whole class were focused on Sun Yan, with a pair of eyes filled with astonishment, jealousy, and resentment, the venomous thorns pierced Sun Yan's body, with a kind of piercing pain like a thorn in his back.

  Seeing the beautiful smile of Shui Lian Qing, Sun Yan immediately walked over. With a beauty helping to occupy a seat, it was truly a treatment he had never enjoyed before. As for the stares from the boys around him, how could he care?

  Dà Cì sat beside Shuǐ Lián Qíng and Sūn Yán smiled: "So early! Lián Qíng."

  This intimate address without surname made the surrounding gazes even stronger, and some people's eyes were filled with unparalleled fierceness, as if they wanted to pierce Sun Yan's body with a thousand holes.

  Xun thought to himself that they were all just a bunch of people who couldn't get grapes and so said the grapes were sour, if that's how it is then let them be sour to death.

  The water curtain cleared up and he glanced at him, saying: "You're actually on time today, not like before, sneaking into the classroom during class."

  "Is there? Are you talking about me?"

  Sun Yan's face was innocent, "I've always been diligent in my studies and striving for excellence. When have I ever been late?"

  One sentence made Shui Lian Qing cover her mouth, and she couldn't help but giggle. She pinched his fist lightly and hit him once. This action caused many boys who still had illusions to secretly scream in the dark: how could such a beautiful little white flower be picked just after school started? Who was this boy?

  At this time, the class bell rang, and a tall and thin young man walked into the classroom. This was the instructor of Class 77 - Teacher Chen.
