I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 97 She is my pet

Lingling District, Jinlin Mountain Villa.

Nestled amidst mountains and water, this place boasts a tranquil environment, breathtaking natural scenery, numerous historical sites, and a wealth of myths and legends.

To the east of Jinlin Manor is the Jinlin Research Center, and to the west is the Martial Arts Association's headquarters. The outer perimeter is guarded by sentries and troops, forming a three-layered encirclement of the entrance to Lingyun Cave.

The selection process for entering Lingyun Cave Heaven was conducted at the nearby Huilong Pagoda.

What was originally a tourist attraction has now become a secret place, often used to train new martial arts practitioners.

As evening approached, the area outside Jinlin Mountain Villa was already packed with buses, with students from twelve prestigious schools in the four cities of Linjiang, Zhaoling, Yancheng, and Lincheng arriving one after another.

Among these, three teams stand out as the most noteworthy.

The three teams are Baoqing No.1 Middle School from Zhaoling, Yancheng No.8 Middle School from Yancheng, and Yangzheng Middle School from Lincheng.

They exuded an imposing aura, their eyebrows raised high, displaying a powerful confidence and presence.

The captains of the three teams—Huang Dengfeng from Baoqing No.1 Middle School, Gu Junchen from Yancheng No.8 Middle School, and Zhang Shousi from Yangzheng Middle School—naturally gathered together after meeting.

"How do you plan to allocate the twenty spots?"

Huang Dengfeng, as the captain of Baoqing No.1 Middle School, was the first to speak.

With his imposing presence and unwavering will, he directly revealed his mastery of the Mountain Formation to the other two.

Huang Dengfeng, who has always been very assertive, bluntly stated his request: "We in Baoqing need ten spots."

Gu Junchen showed no mercy, directly revealing his mastery of the Wind Force realm. Without moving, he could cause the surrounding air currents to swirl violently with his will: "Hehe, why don't we just give all twenty spots to Baoqing? Huang Dengfeng, you're not the only one getting stronger."

Zhang Shousi stood with his hands behind his back, clearly agreeing with Gu Junchen's statement: "Huang Dengfeng, there are twenty spots, and it's not just our four top schools competing for them; other prestigious schools also have top talents. You brought ten people this time, but it's hard to say how many of them will get a spot."

As he spoke, Zhang Shousi's aura blended almost seamlessly with the surrounding scenery, appearing natural, harmonious, and perfectly harmonious.

This is a sign that the forest has reached its full potential!

Huang Dengfeng frowned. He had become much stronger recently, but his old rivals had not stood still either.

Now that everyone has made progress, it's as if no one has made progress at all. In the end, the allocation of quotas will still depend on each person's ability.

Looking around, Huang Dengfeng noticed a familiar figure was missing: "Where's Miao Yiren?"

Gu Junchen relayed the news he had just received: "I heard that the Linjiang No. 1 Middle School team ran into some trouble on the way."

"What happened?"

Zhang Shousi was a little nervous because he was Yu Shoucheng's senior brother. The two of them were disciples of the Shou generation of the Yunshou School. Like their fathers, they were fellow disciples and had a very good relationship.

"Don't worry, no one died this time. However, the bus they were on broke down, and the Wushu Association sent a special vehicle to pick them up. It should be arriving soon."

As soon as Gu Junchen finished speaking, Xu Lan led Miao Yi and the others to Jinlin Manor.

Standing on the second floor of the villa, Gu Junchen waved to Miao Yi from afar: "Miao Yi, we, the four prestigious universities, are waiting for you."

Soon, Miao Yi went up to the second-floor restaurant and met up with the three of them: "Sorry, I encountered an unexpected incident on the way, so I'm late."

Zhang Shousi laughed: "If you don't come soon, Huang Dengfeng will take away your spot from Linjiang No.1 Middle School."

At this moment, Huang Dengfeng looked at his old rival Miao Yi with a burning gaze: "Your Thunder Force has reached its peak?"

"Yes."

"Very good, this time we'll have to have another good fight."

Having lost by half a move last time, Huang Dengfeng's strength has greatly improved, so naturally he wants to win back; otherwise, his mind will not be at peace.

Huang Dengfeng then suggested, "Now that the captains of our four top universities are all here, why don't we just divide up the spots among ourselves, so that those worthless people don't get them?"

"Agreed."

I agree.

Gu Junchen and Zhang Shousi looked at Miao Yi, who hadn't spoken, and asked, "And you?"

Miao Yi looked bitter: "I'm not the captain, asking me won't help."

Upon hearing this, all three wore expressions of disbelief: "Weren't you supposed to have mastered the Thunder Force? Is there anyone at Linjiang No. 1 High School who can beat you?"

"Beat me? His strength is, to put it mildly, utterly hopeless."

Miao Yi recalled how Ye Qingzhou had almost crushed his Miao sword with one hand, and he didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings.

As for his old rivals with whom he had a love-hate relationship for several years, Miao Yi could only wish them good luck now.

None of the three believed it, after all, Miao Yi's words were too outrageous.

Huang Dengfeng scoffed and teased Miao Yi, saying, "You're getting more and more timid as you get older, aren't you? It's been more than half a year since I last saw you, and you've become so weak? You can't even keep a high school sophomore in check."

Miao Yi was too lazy to explain, but instead gave the three of them a pitying look: "You'll understand when you see him."

He couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

After all, this time, those who were Ye Qingzhou's opponents suffered a truly miserable fate.

Huang Dengfeng and Gu Junchen both come from martial arts families, while Zhang Shousi is a top disciple of the Cloud Hands School, possessing a superior status and formidable strength.

Although the three were still martial arts apprentices, they already possessed combat power comparable to professional second-dan martial artists, only lacking in stamina.

Therefore, the three of them gathered together, chatting and discussing everything under the sun, expressing their lofty ambitions and a sense of historical significance.

In the past, Miao Yi would definitely have joined in.

But after meeting Ye Qingzhou, Miao Yi understood that in this world, there are some people you are destined to only look up at from behind.

Watching his three old rivals boast and talk big in front of him, Miao Yi just wanted to burst out laughing.

You all have to die.

As the sun set and the rays were about to disappear, a huge black shadow quietly appeared on the distant horizon.

The dark figure was rapidly approaching, leaving dust and smoke billowing everywhere it went, and trees snapping and falling.

Huang Dengfeng, who had been chatting animatedly, suddenly gaped in astonishment, pointed at the increasingly clear, enormous black snake shadow, and his voice trembled: "What...what is that?"

"Enemy... Enemy attack!"

The piercing alarm sounded, and the entire Golden Scale Manor tensed up. The nearby garrison and martial artists assigned by the Martial Arts Association to guard the area gathered together.

"Tyrant Black Serpent!"

"A 40-meter-long tyrannical black viper!"

The viper is the king of all snakes, possessing the body of a half-dragon, with exceptionally strong blood and energy, making it difficult to kill.

It would take at least three master-level martial artists to quickly suppress or repel it.

However, of the martial artists on duty today, only one master-level martial artist remained at Golden Scale Manor!

Just when everyone was at a loss, the alarm was lifted, and Xu Lan came over with a smile and explained, "I'm sorry, that Tyrant Black Serpent is a pet of one of my students. It startled everyone."
