Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

"Um."

Chen Xing swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded.

"The Southern Theater Command offers more opportunities for real combat, which suits me."

Xia Qingyun paused for a second, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyelids.

She put down her teacup, her voice still cold and aloof.

But with an undeniable certainty: "I'm going to Wuhan University in Shenzhen too."

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

Lin Moyan, who was engrossed in eating, almost spat out his tea.

He choked and coughed repeatedly, his face turning red.

He looked up and his eyes widened.

Looking at Xia Qingyun in disbelief:

"What? Goddess Xia, you're going to Shenzhen too? Wasn't she relentlessly pursuing you in Shanghai?"

Xia Qingyun glanced at him calmly, her clear blue eyes saying, "Shenzhen is close to home, so it's convenient."

His gaze then swept over Chen Xing almost imperceptibly.

"Very good!!"

Lin Moyan slammed his hand on the table, so excited he almost jumped up.

His face beamed with joy.

"Then the three of us can be together again! The Xingtian Band is officially formed!"

"Sweep through Shenzhen and Wuhan University, dominate the Southern Theater Command!"

"Just thinking about it is exciting!"

Chen Xing glanced at Xia Qingyun and caught her slightly lowered eyes.

The moment when you avoid being in someone's sight.

He didn't ask any more questions, he just picked up his teacup.

He gestured to the two of them and said casually:

"It's good to be together."

Xia Qingyun also picked up her teacup and gently clinked it against his and Lin Moyan's cups.

It makes a crisp sound.

After the meal, the three of them left the quiet room.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

It carries the fresh scent of grass and trees from the alley.

Xia Qingyun stopped at the alley entrance, turned around, and looked at Chen Xing.

Sunlight shone on her cool and exquisite profile.

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"I still have some family heirlooms and resources that I need to digest, which may... take about a month."

"So I plan to enroll in school a month later."

Lin Moyan scratched his head, becoming unusually serious:

"My husband said the same thing, that I gained something from this martial arts exam."

"Let me go back and seclude myself for a while to absorb and solidify that new piece of music."

Chen Xing nodded, indicating his understanding.

Young masters from prestigious families, especially S-level geniuses.

Family succession and resource allocation are essential.

Laying a solid foundation in the early stages is more important than anything else.

"I understand. I'll go to Shenzhen Martial Arts University in three days. You can come when you're ready," Chen Xing said.

"Mm," Xia Qingyun responded, looking at Chen Xing.

A hint of reluctance seemed to flash in those deep blue eyes.

But it was quickly replaced by a chilly atmosphere.

She nodded slightly: "Then...see you in a month."

"See you in a month." Chen Xing nodded.

Xia Qingyun said no more and turned around.

With light and graceful steps.

They walked deep into the alley and soon disappeared around the corner.

Only after she was completely out of sight did Lin Moyan bump Chen Xing with his shoulder.

He winked and lowered his voice, speaking in a sly tone:

"Brother Xing, something's up!"

"Goddess Xia's attitude...something's wrong! Something's very wrong!"

Chen Xing glanced at him, too lazy to pay him any attention.

He turned and walked towards the other end of the alley.

"Hey! Brother Xing, wait for me! I'm serious!"

"Do you think Goddess Xia is...?"

Lin Moyan hurriedly followed, still chattering away.

And at this moment, they have already gone quite far.

Xia Qingyun slowed her pace slightly as she turned into another alley.

She gently raised her hand and touched her slightly flushed cheek with her fingertips.

Then he put it down as if he had been electrocuted.

She turned around, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate the walls.

Look in the direction Chen Xing left.

"Shencheng Martial Arts University..."

She murmured to herself, a barely perceptible upward curve appearing at the corners of her cool lips.

"Wait for me."

……

As night falls, the lights are on.

Chen Xing reappeared at the entrance of the Giant Axe Arena underground in the Longshan Mixed Martial Arts Hall.

He was still wearing that inconspicuous black training uniform, carrying a dragon spine staff covered in cloth.

However, he had just reached the doorway.

It was spotted by a few sharp-eyed people.

A regular customer who was squatting by the door smoking and chatting recognized him.

"Holy crap! Look! That's... Chen Xing?!"

"This year's national martial arts exam champion?!"

A bald, burly man suddenly stood up, dropping the cigarette in his hand to the ground.

"Chen Xing? Which Chen Xing?... "

"Wait, is it that S-level student from Shenzhen who got 547 points?"

"How did he get here?"

"No! Look at his stick!"

"Holy crap! I remember now! 'The Wanderer'!"

"That's him! I knew his staff technique looked familiar last time!"

"The Pilgrim is Chen Xing? The martial arts champion is the Pilgrim?!"

"Holy crap! This is huge news!"

The news spread like wildfire, instantly reaching both inside and outside the Colosseum!

The entrance was originally rather deserted.

The place was instantly surrounded by onlookers and curious onlookers who had rushed over upon hearing the news!

Countless gazes, some shocked, some fervent, some curious.

The focus is on Chen Xing.

"Brother Xing! It's Brother Xing!"

"The traveler! The traveler has returned!"

"We're in for a treat tonight! Let's get in and grab a good spot!"

The crowd stirred and cheers erupted.

Chen Xing frowned slightly; he hadn't expected his status as the top martial arts exam candidate to cause such a sensation.

But since we're here...

His expression remained calm as he pushed through the crowd.

They walked straight into the Colosseum.

The arena manager had already received the news and rushed out to greet them.

His face was beaming with smiles, and he was bent over so low that he almost touched the ground.

"Brother Xing! You're here! You've finally arrived!"

"What do you want to play tonight? You tell me!"

"We'll do everything we can to arrange the best opponents for you! We guarantee you'll have a blast!"

Chen Xing looked at the person in front of him who had been so businesslike just a few days ago.

The manager, who was now excessively enthusiastic, said calmly:

"Mid-tier third rank, the strongest."

The manager was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red with excitement.

His voice was trembling:

"Okay! Alright! I'll arrange it right away!"

"For the first match, we'll bring you one of our prized possessions—a Tier 3 mid-tier Ironclad Tyrannosaurus!"

"Its defenses are renowned; even ordinary third-tier units can't break through them!"

Chen Xing nodded and walked towards the contestants' passage.

The audience behind him was already bustling with noise.

The hall was packed, even the aisles were full.

The stairs were packed with people, countless eyes fixed on the iron cage that was about to be opened.

"Traveler! Traveler! Traveler!"

"Brother Xing! Brother Xing! Brother Xing!"

The rhythmic cheers were deafening.

The iron cage was opened, and Chen Xing stepped inside.

On the opposite side, a heavy gate rose.

Its shoulder height exceeds three meters.

It is nearly ten meters long and its entire body is covered with thick, bluish-gray bone armor.

Like a mobile fortress, the armored tyrannosaurus roared as it charged in!

With each step it took, the ground trembled.

His scarlet eyes locked onto Chen Xing, filled with rage.

Battle begins!

The armored tyrannosaurus lowered its head, like a runaway train.

It crashed into Chen Xing with a deafening roar!

Its enormous size and terrifying weight.

The impact is powerful enough to smash through a reinforced concrete wall!

Chen Xing neither dodged nor avoided, his feet firmly planted on the ground.

Grip the dragon spine staff tightly with both hands and face the charging Tyrannosaurus Rex.

A powerful, head-on collision!
