Eight hundred years later, Zhang Ruochen came back to life, only to find that his fiancée who had killed him had unified the Kunlun realm and opened up the First Central Empire, known as "Queen Chi Yao". Empress Chi Yao—ruling the world and being in all directions; eternal youth, immortal.

The people outside the Wu Pagoda could only see the light on the third floor of the Wu Pagoda, but they didn't know which level Zhang Ruochen had reached on the third floor?

Not to mention that Elder Situ didn't believe it, most of the young warriors present were also skeptical.

After all, it was too shocking for a freshman to pass the second level of the third floor.

Elder Situ walked under the gate of the martial tower, stretched out an arm, pressed against a sunken iron wall, and injected the true energy in his body into the iron wall.

The martial tower is a treasured weapon of true martial arts. Under the energization of Elder Situ, part of the inscription patterns in the martial tower were activated.

"Wow!"

The aura mirror on the third floor of the martial tower immediately revealed a white brilliance.

The picture of Zhang Ruochen breaking through the second level of the third floor of the Martial Tower appeared on the surface of the aura mirror.

The nine elders, four hundred and sixty-eight new students, and many older students standing under the Wu Pagoda all looked towards the aura mirror on the third floor of the Wu Pagoda.

On the aura mirror, it was the scene of Zhang Ruochen fighting with eighteen fighters. Zhang Ruochen fought heartily, every movement was smooth and flowing, and he knocked down all the eighteen forging warriors like a broken bamboo.

In the battle scene, the blood of the young warriors below was boiling, and they wished that they were Zhang Ruochen, fighting against the eighteen sword refiners.

As for those female students, they looked at Zhang Ruochen who was standing under the martial tower with a look of admiration.

Zhang Ruochen's performance in the Wuta was amazing!

In a world that respects martial arts, for a young hero like Zhang Ruochen, many women will naturally be crazy about him.

"Hateful! He actually passed the second level of the third floor of the Wuta Tower!"

Prince Huo Xing stood in the ranks of freshmen, staring at Zhang Ruochen standing under the martial tower with cold eyes, and made up his mind in his heart that he must get rid of the Ninth Prince of Yunwu Commandery.

Prince Huo Xing, Zi Qian, and Yao Qingtong were all rare geniuses, but compared with Zhang Ruochen, they were far behind.

Therefore, this year's freshmen's limelight was almost completely robbed by Zhang Ruochen.

The fourth person in the history of the West Court, who can compare with him?

In the next Wuta breakthrough, there was no genius who broke through the second and third levels.

At dusk, the Wu Tower breakthrough was finally over, and the best one hundred and twenty people became disciples of the West Academy of the Wushi Academy.

The rankings of the 120 freshmen were also quickly evaluated. Without any suspense, Zhang Ruochen became the first freshman.

Zi Qian ranked second, Prince Huo Xing ranked third, and Yao Qingtong ranked fourth.

Among the top ten, there are six women and four men.

Fortunately, there was Zhang Ruochen, otherwise, this year's freshmen would be female students who beat the male students again.

A total of 15 young warriors from Yunwu Commandery became outer court disciples of the West Court, and a total of 38 young warriors from Sifang Commandery became outer court disciples of the West Court.

In general, Sifang County has an absolute advantage in the number of new students. However, Yunwu Commandery took the first place among the new students and the second place among the new students, which can be said to have gained a lot of limelight.

In previous years, the West Academy also accepted 120 new students, and fighters from the Sifang Commandery accounted for more than half of them. But this year, there are less than one-third of the new students, and Prince Huo Xing's face is quite ugly.

"If Zhang Ruochen and Ziqian hadn't hunted down dozens of geniuses from the Sifang Commandery in the first round, how could there be only 38 people from the Sifang Commandery who became outer palace disciples this year?" Prince Huo Xing's expression was quite He was gloomy, not hiding the murderous intent in his eyes at all.

Xie Zhaowu said: "Your Highness, no matter how talented Zhang Ruochen is, he is only at the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm. With the power of our Sifang Commandery in the West Court, we can definitely get rid of him with ease. As for that Ziqian, kill him." It would be a pity to lose her, why not just accept her as a princess?"

Prince Huo Xing's heart moved slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "Zi Qian's talent is indeed very high, and she is actually ranked above this prince. If she can be accepted as a prince concubine, it will definitely be a big deal for this prince. It is like a tiger with wings added. But she is very close to Zhang Ruochen, will she agree to this prince?"

Xie Zhaowu said with a smile: "Zhang Ruochen is just a prince of an inferior county. If Sifang County defeats Yunwu County, he will not even be a prince in the future. Zi Qian is a smart woman. I believe she will know how to choose. If she If she still refuses to submit to His Royal Highness, then we will use some strong means to force her to submit. In the face of power, if you don't believe her, you will not submit."

A smile appeared on Prince Huo Xing's face. He looked at Ziqian and found that this girl was indeed extremely beautiful. It would be a wonderful thing to accept her as a prince concubine.

When Prince Huo Xing saw Zhang Ruochen, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he said, "Zhang Ruochen must die! Xie Zhaowu, go and tell Feng Zhilin to come see me tonight."

Feng Zhilin is Feng Zhiyi's elder brother, he became a disciple of the Martial City Academy two years ago, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the extreme level of the Black Realm.

Prince Huo Xing decided to use Feng Zhilin to deal with Zhang Ruochen.

Feng Zhilin's younger brother died at the hands of Zhang Ruochen. As an elder brother, how could he not avenge his younger brother?

To become a disciple of the outer palace in the west courtyard, one must go to receive the robes specially worn by the disciples of the outer palace, as well as a waist badge and a room key.

The robes of the outer palace disciples are all plain white robes.

As for the waist card, it is not that simple. The waist badge of the Warrior Academy is carved out of white jade, and the inscriptions are engraved on it to refine it into a real weapon, which looks only the size of a palm.

The waist card not only records the information of each student, but also records the merit value of each student.

For example, Zhang Ruochen was the first freshman in this class, and he was rewarded with 3,000 points of meritorious service. Therefore, the meritorious value displayed on his waist card is 3,000 points.

Zi Qian was the second freshman, and she was rewarded with 2,000 meritorious points, which were also recorded on her waist card.

As for Liu Chengfeng, because he was ranked fourteenth among the freshmen, the merit value on his waist card was five points.

In the west courtyard, only five merit points will be awarded to the outer palace disciples every month, and only five merit points will be awarded to freshmen who do not enter the top ten.

In Wushi Academy, all cultivation resources must be exchanged for merit points.

Without meritorious service, it is difficult to move an inch.

The so-called meritorious service is the contribution you made to Wushi Academy. Except for the five meritorious points issued by the academy every month, other meritorious values must be earned by oneself.

In addition to meritorious service points, the waist badge also recorded the strength ranking of each outer palace student in the West Academy.

Zhang Ruochen poured his true energy into the waist card, which immediately showed his strength ranking, the 670th.

Ziqian also poured her true energy into her waist badge, which also showed her strength ranking, number five hundred and ninety-seven.

Zhang Ruochen asked: "What is the ranking on the waist card?"

Liu Chengfeng obviously knows better than Zhang Ruochen and Ziqian about matters in Wushi Academy, and said: "The ranking displayed on the waist card is the strength ranking of the outer palace disciples in the West Academy. It is mainly based on the martial arts realm of the students. The number of tasks assigned by the academy, the quarterly assessment held every three months, and the martial arts competition held every year. These are the criteria for measuring rankings!"

Afterwards, Liu Chengfeng added another sentence, saying: "The ranking of the West Academy is not very interesting, and being able to enter the ranking of "Xuan Bang" is the real strength."

Only those who enter the "Xuan Bang" can be regarded as the real strong.

Liu Chengfeng asked: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, where did you get the key?"

Zhang Ruochen took a look at the bronze key in his hand, and found that the key in his hand was indeed somewhat different from Liu Chengfeng's lodging key.

"Dragon Martial Palace, number one in yellow characters." Zhang Ruochen said.

"Dragon Martial Hall..."

Liu Chengfeng's expression changed drastically, his body trembled slightly, and he said, "I knew it, I knew it..."

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Liu Chengfeng curiously, and said, "Is there anything wrong with Dragon Martial Palace?"

Liu Chengfeng shook his head vigorously, and said: "Dragon Martial Hall is the place with the most aura in the West Court. Only the first freshman of each class can enter the Dragon Martial Hall. Moreover, there are many benefits to practicing in the Dragon Martial Hall. , it's not just as simple as having sufficient aura."

Zhang Ruochen made a false alarm and said, "In this case, it seems to be a good thing."

Liu Chengfeng continued to shake his head, and said: "There is a saying in the west courtyard that all men who enter the Dragon Martial Hall are neither disabled nor crippled. It is said that the first freshman in two years, Yuchi Tiancong, the son of Sifang County's prime minister, entered the Dragon Palace. On the first night of the Martial Palace, his legs were broken and he was thrown out of the gate. Since then, Yuchi Tiancong never dared to step into the Dragon Martial Palace."

It's unimaginable how miserable it would be for a genius who was the number one freshman to have his legs broken and thrown out of the Dragon Martial Palace?

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen thought of what Huang Yanchen and Duanmu Xingling said.

Looking at the key in his hand, Zhang Ruochen felt a cool wind blowing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"They are so cruel, even the first genius of the freshman has their legs broken by them. Could it be that the elders of the Wushi Academy don't care?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Liu Chengfeng spread his hands, and said: "What do you do? One of the female devils insisted that Yuchi Tiancong broke into her room and wanted to spy on her taking a bath. That's why she was angry and took Yuchi Tiancong's Both legs were broken and thrown out of the Dragon Martial Palace. Yuchi Tiancong was at fault for this matter, and the elders of Xuegong can't control it!"

Ziqian said: "Since Yuchi Tiancong knows that the three big female devils live in the Dragon Martial Palace, how could he dare to spy on them taking a bath?"

Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Even if Yuchi Tiancong was given ten courages, he wouldn't dare. But that female devil charged him with this crime, what can he do?"

Zhang Ruochen said, "Yuchi Tiancong pleaded guilty?"

Liu Chengfeng said: "Do you dare not admit it? If you don't, the next time you won't have your legs broken, but you will be beaten to death. Naturally, Yuchi Tiancong was also afraid, so he confessed. After pleading guilty, it's not over yet. , but also to compensate that female devil, so the 3,000 points of merit that Yuchi Tiancong's first reward for freshmen were also compensated, and fell into the hands of that female devil. What a tragedy!"

Zhang Ruochen sucked in a breath of cold air, suddenly felt that Longwu Hall should be the first forbidden place in the west courtyard, and it is not an exaggeration to call it Longtan and Tiger's Cave.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, you must take care! Try to save your life like Yuchi Tiancong. Even if your legs are broken, so what? As long as you get treated in time, you can stand up again soon. A man can bend and stretch. No ?"

Liu Chengfeng patted Zhang Ruochen's shoulder meaningfully, sighed, and walked towards his lodging place.
