At this moment, Chen Xuanwu's shock was beyond words.
He felt as if he had become a small boat in a vast ocean, facing a raging tsunami!
This power was unstoppable!
In just one exchange, his proud defense completely collapsed!
The Peerless Overlord Body was truly terrifying!
The next moment, Lu Changsheng retracted his fist and stood still.
A trace of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of Chen Xuanwu's mouth. His expression was complex as he cupped his hands in defeat towards Lu Changsheng.
"Thank you for showing mercy."
After speaking, he turned and walked off the arena.
He could feel that Lu Changsheng had held back at the last moment, retracting some of his power.
Otherwise, his fate would not have been much better than Zhao Jianglong's.
"One punch, another enemy defeated with one punch!"
"Where are the people from Tianyao Tower? Haven't they come to invite Lu Changsheng yet?"
"Damn it, I'm afraid Tianyao Tower will rise within ten years!"
"By gaining Lu Changsheng, Tianyao Tower's ranking will at least increase by two or three places in a short time!"
"This year's top freshman will probably be Lu Changsheng. Who can be his opponent?"
"It's too early to say that. Don't forget there are still Shen Aotian, Chen Longxiang, Mo Yu, Xu Zhihui..."
A large amount of discussion resounded throughout the entire venue, soaring into the sky.
Above the sky, Dean Su Xin looked at Lu Changsheng's tall figure and nodded secretly.
"Someone from Tianyao Tower is here! It's Li Qingnang, one of the three vice-leaders, from a pill refining family!"
At this moment, an exclamation sounded.
The crowd parted, and a man in a green robe stepped forward, standing in front of Lu Changsheng.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Changsheng, I am Li Qingnang of Tianyao Tower."
"On behalf of Tianyao Tower, I invite you to join us!"
Li Qingnang resembled a scholar, exuding a scholarly aura.
At the same time, there was a faint scent of medicine wafting from him.
As he spoke, he took out several Medicinal Pill bottles from his Storage Pouch at his waist and handed them to Lu Changsheng.
"This is a small Meeting gift, please accept it, Senior Apprentice Brother Changsheng."
Lu Changsheng had received the Red Lotus Empress's Medicinal Pill refining Legacy, and simply by smelling the Medicinal Pill's fragrance, he knew what kind of Medicinal Pill it was.
One Guiyuan Pill could help a Martial Warrior Realm practitioner Break through to the Martial Master Realm, and it was a High Grade Medicinal Pill.
There was also a bottle of High Grade Gathering Spirit Pill and a bottle of High Grade Rejuvenation Pill.
All of them were High Grade Medicinal Pills!
If these were in Baiyun City, they would only exist in legends.
Even in the vast Eastern Region, they were not common.
They were definitely not something ordinary people could use.
This was enough to show Tianyao Tower's sincerity.
But under the fiery gazes, Lu Changsheng shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Senior Apprentice Brother Qingnang."
"I have no intention of joining Tianyao Tower, and I cannot accept these Medicinal Pills either."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingnang froze.
A series of gasps echoed throughout the entire venue.
Lu Changsheng didn't want to join Tianyao Tower?
"Could it be that Senior Apprentice Brother Changsheng is a Sword Cultivator?"
"Where is your sword?"
Li Qingnang couldn't help but ask.
"I am not a Sword Cultivator yet."
Lu Changsheng shook his head again.
But everyone overlooked the words 'not yet' in his statement.
Not joining Tianyao Tower, and not being a Sword Cultivator.
Then, there was only one last answer, and it was the most impossible one.
"You want to reopen Haoqi Tower?!"
Li Qingnang's expression instantly became extremely serious.
Everyone present also held their breath.
The three words 'Haoqi Tower' seemed incredibly heavy, like a mountain pressing down.
"Why was Haoqi Tower abandoned?"
Lu Changsheng's heart was filled with doubts.
At this moment, above the sky, a gentle voice sounded.
"Ten years ago, the students of Haoqi Tower were ambushed by Dao Yuan Holy Academy, and then encountered the demonic den's change. They suffered heavy casualties, with less than one in ten surviving."
"Dean Jiang Shang had no choice but to Seal Haoqi Tower, suppress the demonic den, and even went to Dao Yuan Holy Academy, angrily slaying two Martial Emperor Realm experts."
"To this day, Haoqi Tower has been covered in dust for ten full years. It's time to reopen it."
Dean Su Xin's words were like a clap of thunder, resounding in everyone's hearts.
Haoqi Tower was actually going to be reopened!
One stone stirred a thousand ripples!
Everyone's gaze converged on Lu Changsheng.
"Lu Changsheng, if you want to reopen Haoqi Tower, my Star Plucking Tower will fully besiege you in the top ten assessment!"
"Taking first place among the freshmen and reopening Haoqi Tower, what great ambition! My Listening Rain Tower is very much looking forward to your performance."
"My Tianhuang Tower... My Tianhuang Tower as well!"
"Interesting, this year's freshman assessment finally has something interesting!"
"Good luck, Lu Changsheng. Without the ability to dominate an era, it's impossible to convince the masses."
"..."
In an instant, Battle Intent surged!
Lu Changsheng grinned. Now this was a challenge!
At this moment, no one noticed that in a dark corner at the back of the crowd.
There was a person holding a jade talisman, secretly communicating.
Outside Tianxuan Holy Academy, across the mountains, in the distant and remote Baiyun City.
In the Tianlong Treasure Firm, Qin River was kneeling before Tianming Shao Ye, his legs completely broken, like a defeated dog, trembling uncontrollably.
"Tianming Shao Ye, spare my life!"
"That Lu Changsheng most likely went to Tianxuan Holy Academy, because Lu Yang's life-and-death duel with him was for the tianxuan token in his hand!"
"On the day of the incident, I was in seclusion refining Medicinal Pills. Who would have thought that Lu Changsheng would go on a killing spree? I simply didn't have time to protect Zou Lanxiang!"
Qin River desperately shouted.
Across from him, Tianming Shao Ye and Liu Ruyan had cold expressions and astonishing killing intent.
At this moment, Tianming Shao Ye seemed to sense something and took out a jade talisman from his Storage Pouch.
After a long while, a cruel arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I received news that Lu Changsheng has appeared at Tianxuan Holy Academy, intending to take first place among the freshmen and reopen Haoqi Tower."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan, who was beside him, immediately widened her eyes.
"This trash has such great ambition!"
"Tianming, there's no time to lose, let's depart immediately!"
In Liu Ruyan's pupils, purple-gold light flowed continuously.
This was the power of Lu Changsheng's Peerless Overlord Body, stirring restlessly!
"Let's go back to Dao Yuan Holy Academy first."
"Haoqi Tower cannot be reopened. This matter will receive the full support of Dao Yuan Holy Academy. This time, I want Lu Changsheng to die without a burial place!"
Tianming Shao Ye said coldly.
He gently patted Qin River's head, then left Baiyun City with Liu Ruyan.
Behind the two, Qin River widened his eyes, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he died on the spot!
...
...
Inside Tianxuan Holy Academy.
As the news of reopening Haoqi Tower spread, the entire Tianxuan Holy Academy fell into an unprecedented fervor.
Even some old students of the Five-Star Academy, who were in seclusion, were startled.
"The Peerless Overlord Body, reopening Haoqi Tower, Tianxuan Holy Academy is finally going to get lively!"
"The Peerless Overlord Body is indeed good, with the potential to dominate a generation, but in this generation, Dao Yuan Holy Academy has Heavenly Venerate and Tianming, making them extremely difficult to deal with!"
"I have already received accurate news that Lu Changsheng's Peerless Overlord Body is currently with Liu Ruyan. How can he be an opponent? Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
"A bit of Righteous Qi, a thousand miles of pleasant wind! I wonder if Lu Changsheng can restore the glory of Haoqi Tower."
"Let him take first place among the freshmen first, otherwise everything is empty talk!"
Amidst the clamor, round after round of competitions ended.
Finally, the top ten freshmen were determined.
The top ten already had the direct qualification to enter the Two-Star Academy. Although all of them were in the Martial Warrior Realm, any one of them possessed the ability to fight against a Martial Master Realm practitioner.
After the top ten were decided, the next step was to move away from the arena battle model and enter the exclusive ranking assessment for the top ten.
The location of the assessment also underwent significant changes!
