Chapter 49 Blood Phoenix Evening Begonia

Above the mountains, a celestial palace stands amidst swirling clouds and mist, and a red figure sits atop the black sandalwood railings.

The girl in the red robe narrowed her phoenix eyes as she looked at the message in the Heavenly Mirror in her hand.

The young woman possessed a bright and dignified appearance, with sharp phoenix eyes that seemed to see through all illusions. Her skin was as white as jade, her lips as red as blood, and her slender swan neck leaned slightly against the sandalwood pillar behind her. She sat on the railing with her long legs crossed, and even in that casual posture, she could not conceal her majestic and unruly temperament.

If Lin Zhao is like a cold maiden in the moon palace, yet she exudes vitality and gives people hope; then this young girl is like a reclusive empress, with an overbearing aura that subtly reveals a bloodthirsty obsession.

"Have you already killed Chen Luoluo and reclaimed the Phoenix Fortune? Lin Zhao, you really aren't so easily defeated." The girl closed the Heavenly Mirror, and her usually emotionless phoenix eyes rippled slightly when she mentioned Lin Zhao.

"The Blood Phoenix and the Ancient Phoenix, kings never meet. You must really want to reclaim the Ancient Phoenix's fortune from me, right?" Ji Wantang said, seemingly to herself. "Then come find me. Lin Zhao, I've wanted to devour you for a long time!"

……

After verifying the name tag, Lin Zhao received a jade token and a white belt to participate in the freshman competition.

The token was green, and there was a faint "three" inside.

"This is your points token and official disciple belt," said the old man in charge of registration. "Official disciples start with three points in the competition, while unofficial disciples only have one."

Lin Zhao immediately understood. "Thank you, senior."

Most of the young people who can become formal disciples of the South China Sea Academy are unruly and rebellious, and it is extremely rare to see someone treat a nominal worker like this with such courtesy.

The old man glanced at her and said, "The little girl is quite pretty."

Lin Zhao was taken aback. The face she was currently disguising was only ordinary. Could this old man see through her disguise?
You should know that along the way, even Nascent Soul cultivators have had very few who could see through her disguise.

A fine layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her respect for the South China Sea Academy grew even stronger; this academy truly was a place where hidden talents resided.

Upon finding the location of the South China Sea Island Newcomer Competition, Lin Zhao looked around and discovered that, apart from himself, most people were in groups.

She pondered for a moment, and before she could even find someone to familiarize herself with the surroundings, she felt a murderous intent coming towards her.

"You're the one who injured my brother, you bitch?!"

The next moment, a fiery red python whip lashed down at Lin Zhao's face.

Lin Zhao's eyes turned cold as he raised his hand to grasp the red python whip and looked at the newcomer.

A woman dressed in a red outfit stared at her with a fierce look in her eyes. The woman had a hot figure and her face could only be described as pretty, but the white belt around her waist proved that she was quite powerful.

Looking at that face, Lin Zhao understood what the other person wanted.

"No wonder he can't control his foul mouth, it turns out it's from his family's tradition of strict upbringing," Lin Zhao said sarcastically, gripping his whip.

Such an arrogant attitude surprised the disciples watching the competition from all around.

"Does this country girl even know who she's offended? Chen Weiwei is the eldest daughter of the Holy Light Prime Minister and the fiancée of the newcomer Wang Jialan."

"This village girl's cultivation level seems to be at the first level of the Enlightenment stage? I've never heard of her being on the newcomer ranking list."

"Hey, no matter what, Chen Weiwei is a genuine fourth-level Enlightenment cultivator. The early and middle stages of Enlightenment aren't easy to surpass. Given Chen Weiwei's protective nature, she's doomed." Chen Weiwei naturally noticed Lin Zhao's cultivation level as well, and all her fear vanished in an instant, her eyes filled with venom: "You bitch, if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for making you die here today!"

Her words betrayed a murderous intent. She then tried to retract her whip.

But as she tugged, an embarrassing scene unfolded: no matter how hard she pulled, the long whip remained firmly in the hand of the unassuming girl.

"How dare you! Let go of me now! You bitch, I'll make you wish you were dead!" Feeling humiliated, Chen Weiwei venomously retorted, "Once you fall into my hands, I'll throw you into the number one building of the Holy Light Empire, where you'll be ridden and trampled by thousands!"

Lin Zhao ignored him, still holding the whip firmly with one hand, while pinching the space between his eyebrows with the other.

Chen Weiwei and Chen Luoluo are indeed of the same name; their cultivation levels are exactly the same, weak and unstable, and their physical bodies are even worse than those at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Such a person... without any extraordinary techniques to forcibly elevate their abilities, will remain in the enlightenment stage for the rest of their life.

"I don't know much about the Holy Light Empire, but the Prime Minister's Mansion has certainly trained two stinking dogs that spew filth from their mouths."

Seeing that Chen Weiwei was about to take something out of her bosom, Lin Zhao loosened his grip. Chen Weiwei was pulling hard on the whip, and when Lin Zhao loosened his grip, the whip, due to its elasticity, struck Chen Weiwei's own face.

Caught off guard, Chen Weiwei was suddenly struck by her own whip, her skin torn and bleeding. Her once pretty face now looked like a demon.

Seeing this, a girl dressed in black next to her couldn't help but chuckle and said to her companion, "A cultivator at the mid-stage of the Enlightenment Realm can get hit in the face by his own weapon. With such a weak physical body, how did he get a spot as a formal disciple of the South China Sea Academy?"

His companions watched with amusement. Their forces were opposed to the Holy Light Empire, so they naturally disliked their people. They seized the opportunity to criticize them: "They're just blustering fools. It's a shame they look down on Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao has at least killed a lot of demons in the mortal realm. If his Phoenix Luck hadn't been taken away and confined to love, he might actually be a remarkable person."

The girl who had been about to speak was about to say something when she sensed something and her expression suddenly changed: "But this Harley Quinn is a bit troublesome."

Lin Zhao naturally shared her feelings. As the icy sword grazed her body and landed beside her, Lin Zhao's expression turned serious.

"I wonder who you are, sir. To resort to such ruthlessness over a few words seems a bit excessive, doesn't it?" A tall, slender figure slowly appeared amidst the crowd.

Lin Zhao looked at the handsome young man who had appeared and immediately realized that this was Jialan.

He was good at twisting the truth. It was clearly Chen Weiwei and Chen Dele who spoke rudely first, and after being refuted by her, they became angry and wanted to do something drastic. But in Jialan's mouth, it became her being arrogant and ruthless.

The freshman competition hasn't even started yet, and anyone who gets this title will inevitably become the target of everyone's criticism. Lin Zhao doesn't want to be the one to suffer the consequences.

“Your Highness is joking. If your fiancée and brother-in-law had not insulted the Lin family and made the first move, I would not have had to retaliate in order to protect myself.”

Looking at his fiancée's bloodied and mangled face, Jialan suppressed his disgust and handed her a healing elixir. He then turned to look at Lin Zhao, his gaze growing increasingly hostile.

"Oh? You mean my fiancée is the one who's wrong?"

Jialan's words already carried a hint of intimidation. Although this was somewhat unfair, in Jialan's definition, the strong were respected in this world, and those born ordinary deserved to be beaten!
"According to my information, Dele was merely discussing matters concerning the Lin family when you immediately launched a provocation. I wonder what your intentions are?"

"Chen Dele's filthy insults were merely stating facts, but my retort is seen as a provocation. What are Crown Prince Shengguang's intentions?" Lin Zhao sneered, then lightly tapped her cheek.

To everyone's astonishment, the disguise on that ordinary little face vanished instantly, revealing a fair and stunningly beautiful face.

Someone recognized the face and exclaimed, "Lin Zhao?!"
