The Life and Death Platform is a thirty-meter-high white stone platform, nine zhang square, built with blocks of polished smooth giant stones weighing ten thousand catties.

  Under the execution platform, densely packed sharp iron spikes were inserted. Each iron spike was two meters long, and some of the tips seemed to still have bloodstains on them.

  If a warrior falls from the platform of life and death, even if he is not smashed to death, his body will be pierced by iron thorns.

  Once on the stage of life and death, one must distinguish between life and death; even if you want to escape, you can't.

  Feng Zhi Lin was very confident in his own strength and had already taken a step forward onto the stage of life and death.

  He stood tall in the center of the stage, looking elegant and refined, his eyes scanning the surrounding area, gazing at the beautiful female students standing on the platform, revealing a calm and composed smile.

  He had a must-win mentality in this battle.

  "Be careful, Ninth Brother." Zhang Shaochu grasped Zhang Ruochen's hand tightly, his eyes filled with a worried expression.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a gust of wind that knows the forest."

  "Zhang Ruochen"

  Zi Yan walked out from among the many students, wearing a white martial arts uniform, with a belt wrapped around her slender waist, outlining her delicate and beautiful figure.

  The students around, all eyes were straight. They did not expect that among the students of Yunwu County, there would be such a beautiful woman, and even compared to those three female demons, they were not inferior in any way.

  The crowd involuntarily made way for a path, just like the stars surrounding the moon, and surrounded Zi Yan in the center.

  Zi Yan walked in front of Zhang Ruochen, stared at her deeply, without showing any emotional fluctuations, and said: "Kill Feng Zhiyi, I also have a share. Or I'll replace you to duel with Feng Zhilin."

  Zhang Ruochen looked at Zi Xian and felt a strange aura on her body.

  "you have reached the extreme boundary of the mysterious extreme realm" Zhang Ruochen's eyes lit up.

  Zi Yan nodded and said, "That's right."

  Zhang Ruochen was not surprised, after all, Zi Yan had the blood of a saint, and she also received 2,000 points of merit value as a reward, which could be exchanged for a large amount of high-level cultivation resources in the Wumeng Academy.

  With her innate talent and abundant cultivation resources, breaking through the bottleneck within a month to reach the extreme position of the Mystic Extreme Realm is not too exaggerated.

  It turns out that Zhang Ruochen only took the Spiritual Meat and didn't deliberately cultivate any techniques, spending all his time cultivating martial skills. He broke through to a new realm in just over a month.

  Zhang Ruochen and Zi Yan's greatest advantage is that they don't lack cultivation resources.

  "Congratulations!"

  "But I've already made an appointment with Feng Zhilin for a duel to the death on the Life and Death Platform. You're too late. Maybe you can make another appointment with him next time."

  Zi Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color, and she said again: "Zhang Ruochen, are you confident that you can defeat Feng Zhilin?"

  "It shouldn't be difficult." Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

  Upon hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, all the warriors from the four corners of the country standing nearby cursed under their breaths, "Madman".

  "Just wait and see, Zhang Ruochen thought that defeating Nie Xuan, Wang Lang, and Qing Hai Tian was a big deal, but he didn't know that none of the three could withstand even one move from Feng Zhi Lin."

  "When he steps onto the stage of life and death, Zhang Ruochen will surely regret it."

  In the distance, Xie Zong saw Zhang Ruochen step by step onto the Mortal Platform, his heart somewhat anxious, and was about to use his movement technique to rush up and stop Zhang Ruochen.

  If Zhang Ruochen had stepped onto the Mortal Stage, then everything would have been too late.

  At this moment, a silver virtual shadow flashed from beside Elder Xie and pressed his palm on Elder Xie's shoulder.

  "Xī Tū lǎo zhǎng, nǐ zhè shì gàn shén me?" Xiè lǎo zhǎng de yǎn zhōng shè chū hán guāng, shí fēn rǎo nù de dào.

  Translation:

  "Situ Elder, what are you doing?" Xie Elder's eyes shot out a cold light, and he said with great anger.

  Elder Sito still pressed his palm on Elder Xie's shoulder, stopping him from rushing over, and smiled: "Elder Xie, don't be impatient. It's just two juniors dueling, why do you need to intervene?"

  Xie Chang Lao looked at Zhang Ruo Chen who was about to ascend the life and death platform in the distance, his heart grew more anxious, saying: "Don't you know that Zhang Ruo Chen is the fourth genius in the history of Xi Yuan to pass through the third layer of the Wu Tower's second trial? If he were to be killed by Feng Zhi Lin on the life and death platform, it would be a tremendous loss for Xi Yuan."

  Situ Zhang's smile disappeared from his face, and he coldly snorted: "What's the use of having high innate talent? In the first round of the Academy's examination, he killed nearly a hundred examinees, causing the Academy to lose so many talented individuals. At such a young age, he is already so bloodthirsty; when he becomes a powerful figure, won't he cause even more slaughter? The Martial City Academy doesn't need such a talent."

  Xie Zhanglao said: "Situ Zhanglao, did you personally see Zhang Ruochen kill someone?"

  "There were naturally people who saw it with their own eyes."

  Elder Sito's eyes were cold and stern, and he said: "Besides, Zhang Ruochen killed Feng Zhilin's own brother, can't Feng Zhilin avenge his own brother?"

  Another elder rushed over, not wanting the atmosphere between Elder Sito and Elder Xie to become too awkward. He advised, "Elder Xie, we are just elders of the academy, responsible for teaching them. As for the grudges among the students, let's try not to get involved. If everything needs to be solved by us elders, it will only make these students develop a dependent mindset, which is not good for them."

  Situ Zhang laughed and said, "Huo Zhang is right. Since Zhang Ruochen is a genius, he should be tempered even more. If he can't even pass the Wind Knowing Forest trial, it can only mean that he doesn't have the fate to become a strong person."

  If it were at another time, Elder Xie might have believed Elder Sito's words.

  But now Zhang Ruochen is about to duel with Feng Zhilin on the Life and Death Stage, it can be said that he will definitely die, what's the point of practicing anymore

  At this time, Zhang Ruochen had already boarded and stood opposite Feng Zhi Lin.

  Xie Zong tightly clenched his teeth, glaring furiously at Situ Zong for a moment, but ultimately did not let his anger erupt. After all, Situ Zong's cultivation was above his own, and if he were to engage in combat with him, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

  Now we can only hope that Zhang Ruochen will survive, although the hope is very slim.

  Elder Sito gazed at Elder Xie, who was walking up to the stage with a flourish of his sleeves, and a hint of ridicule appeared on his old face. Then, he fixed his gaze on the Life and Death Stage again, and the smile on his face became even more radiant.

  Zhang Ruochen's being a top genius or not has nothing to do with him, because Zhang Ruochen was neither brought to the Western House by him nor his direct disciple. So even if Zhang Ruochen died on the Life and Death Stage, it could only be blamed on his bad luck.

  "Thank you, Elder Szeto"

  Huo Xing Wangzi walked out of the night and bowed respectfully to Master Sutu.

  He then handed a purple-golden box to Elder Situ, smiling: "This is a Tianyun Dan given by my father to help you in your cultivation."

  Elder Sito took over the purple gold box, opened a slit in the box, and immediately a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out of the slit.

  Elder Sito's face revealed a hint of a smile as he put away the purple gold box, saying: "It was just a small effort, Your Highness is too polite."

  Huo Xing Wangzi laughed and said, "Eliminating Zhang Ruochen is just a trivial matter for the elder, but for our four counties, it's a monumental task. Yunwu County has already produced a Zhang Tianguang, if another Zhang Ruochen emerges, who will be able to rival Yunwu County in ten years?"

  Situ Zhang said, "As a member of the four-party county and state, I naturally have an obligation to help the county king eliminate these potential threats. Since Zhang Ruochen has come to the Western Courtyard, I naturally cannot let him grow up."

  Huo Xing Wangzi nodded and gazed at the two people on the life-and-death stage, smiling: "After tonight, there will be no more Zhang Ruochen in the Western Camp."

  "Humming"

  The top of the sixteen copper pillars surrounding the stage of life and death emitted a series of loud explosions. Sixteen balls of fire ignited in the fire basins at the top of the copper pillars, illuminating the night sky.

  "You're quite bold, actually daring to step onto the stage of life and death." Feng Zhi Lin stared at Zhang Ruo Chen, a hint of a smile on his face.

  Obviously not praising Zhang Ruochen, but ridiculing Zhang Ruochen's foolishness.

  Zhang Ruochen stood up straight with his hands behind his back, his clothes as white as snow, and smiled: "What's the point of talking so much? Let's just fight!"

  Feng Zhi Lin's eyes turned cold and he said, "Fine, since you want to die early, I'll fulfill your wish."

  The two people's gazes simultaneously turned towards the weapon rack at the edge of the stage of life and death.

  On the weapon rack, various weapons were placed, including swords, knives, halberds, guns, whips, spears, and clubs, totaling thirty-one kinds of weapons.

  All warriors who step onto the stage of life and death cannot bring their own blades, they can only use the weapons on the stage of life and death.

  It can be said that whoever seizes the initiative first will have the upper hand.

  "Whoosh"

  Feng Zhi Lin took a step ahead, transformed into a white shadow and rushed towards the weapon rack on the Mortal Stage. He set his eyes on an iron sword placed on the third layer of the rack and was about to pick it up.

  All five fingers grasped, but grasped an empty space.

  Zhang Ruochen stood beside Feng Zhi Lin, holding the iron sword in his hand and lightly plucking it with his fingers. "There is no inscription on the sword, just an ordinary iron sword. However, the material used to forge the iron sword is not bad, and it seems that there is some true iron inside, so it won't break easily."

  you

  Feng Zhi Lin stared at Zhang Ruochen who was just a few inches away from him, his face full of shock.

  Just now he was the first to move and go get the sword, but Zhang Ruochen started later than him, yet took a step ahead and retrieved the sword.

  What does this mean?

  This shows that Zhang Ruochen's speed is above his.

  Boom

  The students standing on the platform were all shocked by this scene.

  "Zhang Ruochen's speed was actually above Feng Zhilin's"

  "Daring to ascend the stage of life and death, it turns out there is indeed real skill."

  "Zhang Ruochen's speed was so fast that he almost stood in an invincible position."

  "That's not necessarily true. If it weren't for the life and death stage, perhaps Feng Zhilin would indeed be unable to defeat Zhang Ruochen. However, the life and death stage is only nine feet long after all. Although Zhang Ruochen has an advantage in speed, the range he can dodge is limited. For Feng Zhilin to kill him, it shouldn't be a difficult task."

  "You all overlooked the most important point, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation is far lower than Feng Zhilin's. His true energy reserves are absolutely far from comparable to Feng Zhilin's. Even if his speed is faster, Feng Zhilin can still rely on his deep true energy to exhaust him to death." Prince Huo Xing said coldly.

  The other students also thought it was reasonable and nodded in agreement.

  "A group of ignorant people" Du Mu Xingling gently shook his head, his eyes gazing at Huang Yanchen, and smiled: "Sister Dust, didn't you say with your own mouth that if Zhang Ruocheng defeats Feng Zhilin, you would spare his life?"

  Huang Yanzhen stared in the direction of the Life and Death Arena, saying: "Let's wait until he wins before talking."
