High Martial Arts Start with Ant Talent Fusion

At the city lord's mansion in Jianghai City, a man and a woman were rushing towards him.

"It's Yue Qingning, ranked 50th on the Prodigy Ranking, and Yin Zun, ranked 51st. Why are they in such a hurry? Has something urgent happened?"

Although the guards at the city lord's mansion recognized the man and woman in front of them, they were bound by duty and could not easily let either of them enter.

"This is the City Lord's Mansion. No one may enter without the City Lord's permission. Please stop here."

One person stepped forward and blocked the two.

"I am a prodigy, how dare you stop me?"

"If this delays things, you can't even guarantee you won't lose your heads!"

Yin Zun stepped forward and said that this matter was of great importance, and that someone dared to stop him at a mere doorway.

"this..."

"It's not that we don't want you to go in, but if the city lord finds out about this and blames us, we can't bear the consequences either."

The security guard was somewhat embarrassed.

"Please go in and inform them that Tianjiao Yueqingning has something important to report, and that this matter concerns the safety of Jianghai City."

Beside her, Yue Qingning hurriedly spoke up.

Upon hearing Yue Qingning's words, the gatekeeper realized the importance of the matter.

"Please wait here for a moment, I will go in and report."

The gatekeeper hurriedly reported to the city lord.

"Two prodigies, the city lord allows you to enter."

The security guard returned quickly with good news.

"Thank you all."

As Yue Qingning spoke, the two entered the city lord's mansion.

Upon entering the city lord's mansion, one immediately sensed a difference between the inside and outside. Could this be the meaning of the saying, "A mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals dwelling there; water is not sacred because of its depth, but because of the dragons residing within"?

"Why bother thanking those security guards? If they delayed this matter, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to kill them."

Yin Zun murmured to himself, "I am a prodigy, I have never been treated like this before."

"Qingning, what business do you have with me?"

"Do you even know what the safety of my Jianghai City truly means?"

Suddenly, the two sensed a mysterious aura descending upon them. They saw an old man with white hair appear, a man who seemed to exist in this world yet also not.

In the presence of such a powerful figure, they felt as insignificant as ants.

This is a true powerhouse!

It is the entity that truly determines the fate of a battlefield.

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

The two immediately responded with respect.

"Speak."

The city lord appeared in front of the two of them in the next second.

"Sir, we found a praying mantis in the wild."

Upon seeing this, Yin Zun couldn't wait to report the discovery in the wild.

"Nonsense!"

"A mere praying mantis concerns the safety of Jianghai City? Is this the style of your so-called geniuses?"

"You treat the safety of me and Jiang Haicheng as a joke. If you don't give me an explanation, I will consider stripping you of your title of 'prodigy'."

"Not only that, I will also punish you!"

The city lord was slightly annoyed. He thought it was a matter of great importance to the safety of Jianghai City, so he personally came forward. Who would have thought that this prodigy named Yin Zun would be so ungrateful and waste his time.

"No...no, Lord City Lord, I didn't mean that. I really wanted to report to you."

"I wasn't talking about a praying mantis..."

"No, I said it's a praying mantis, but it's not a praying mantis either..."

Yin Zun panicked, feeling a suffocating aura enveloping him. Even though he was used to big scenes, he couldn't help but tremble as he spoke. Yue Qingning, on the other hand, didn't want to explain anything.

This kind of person needs to have his arrogance tempered by the city lord.

Wasn't he the one who insisted on speaking?

Let him have the opportunity.

"Is it or isn't it!"

"Master Yin, do you really think I wouldn't dare strip you of your title of 'prodigy'?!"

The city lord was furious and sent Yin Zun flying with a wave of his hand. At the same time, he glanced at Yue Qingning, who was gloating, with a look of helplessness and doting. Of course, he could see what Yue Qingning was up to.

He wanted to use his own hands to teach this arrogant young man named Yin Zun a lesson.

His strength had long since reached an extremely high level, and he was fully aware of what Yin Zun had done before. As a prodigy of the human race, such conduct was unworthy of the name of a prodigy.

However, his anger stemmed from more than just that; his nonsensical ramblings were infuriating.

What mantis?!

I think you're a praying mantis!

"Lord...Lord of the city, everything I said is true."

"That really is a praying mantis!"

Yin Zun struggled to his feet and explained that although the city lord had not injured him, it meant that his image in the city lord's mind had completely deteriorated.

What's wrong with my mouth?!

Why are you not obeying my commands?

"Hmph, daring to mock this old man, this is just a lesson."

"Qingning, tell me, what exactly happened?"

"And what is that praying mantis?"

"Yes, sir. Actually, Yin Zuntianjiao wasn't wrong. We did encounter a praying mantis in the wilderness, but this praying mantis was vastly different from the ones we commonly see."

"The mantis we encountered had a massive body and terrifying strength. Although I didn't witness it myself, my sister told me it killed a level three Azure Cloud Wolf with a single strike!"

Yue Qingning didn't look at the disheveled Yin Zun, but respectfully reported to the city lord.

"A giant praying mantis?"

"Killed the Azure Cloud Wolf in one strike?"

After hearing Yue Qingning's words, the city lord fell into thought and a trace of worry appeared on his face.

"This kind of thing still happened."

"I had this concern with many other powerful people before: if we humans are evolving, then animals and insects will also face evolution."

"I never imagined this day would come so soon."

"It seems that the giant mantis must have obtained some kind of opportunity or gone to the Blood Moon World and returned, where it underwent a huge evolution."

"But don't worry, as the most advanced primates, humans have evolved much faster than other species, and we evolved much earlier, so they can't cause much trouble."

The city lord said earnestly that they had considered such a thing, but since it did not threaten the survival of humanity, they did not include it in their strategic objectives.

"Lord City Lord, is it normal for that mantis to possess sword intent?"

Yue Qingning was somewhat puzzled. It seemed that the city lord already knew about this matter, but just to be on the safe side, he still revealed that the mantis had mastered the sword intent.

"What?"

"Master the intent of the sword!"

The city lord was incredulous upon hearing Yue Qingning's words, followed by shock. Even a powerful figure like him felt the weight of those words.

"Yes, it has mastered the intent of the sword."

"I saw it with my own eyes. That mantis was only a level three being, yet it cleaved through space with a single strike."

"Moreover, I suspect that the mantis possesses intelligence, the kind that is in no way inferior to that of an adult. At the time, Yin Zuntianjiao and I thought we were doomed, but unexpectedly it let us go. I saw disdain in its eyes, the kind of disdain that the strong have for the weak."

Yue Qingning never imagined that one day she would be mocked for her weakness by a praying mantis.

"Oh no, could it be that one in a billion, the king of existence?"

"Is he the king of the mantis race?"
