Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

More and more people were gathered in the huge square. Discussions were heard everywhere. Everyone was talking about the competition, the Imperial City, the Essence Sword Sect, and the dark horse.    

In the noisy square, everyone was waiting for the competition to begin. They were also waiting for some people to arrive. Up until now, there hadn't been a single person in the top ten of the Tianwu's ranking list. In their hearts, they were the main characters of this competition.    

"Hey, look over there. Is that Ao Lingchen?"    

A small group of people who were guessing the top ten suddenly quieted down. He pointed his finger forward and spoke in a low voice. A trace of fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.    

When the voice sounded, the few people beside him also looked in the same direction. At the same time, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.    

Just a second ago, they mentioned the most popular dark horse and Ao Lingchen. They didn't expect to see such a famous person in the next second.    

If the top ten of the Tianwu's ranking list was highly regarded by everyone, then Ao Lingchen would be the only one with more popularity than everyone else.    

Whether it was the massacre in his secret realm, the massacre in Twilight Forest, or the legendary writing of the Heavenly Martial Ladder, all of them had made him the most popular person in Tianwu Academy, and the one that everyone thought the most highly of.    

Ao Lingchen walked to the square. The crowd around him caused him to frown slightly. With so many people, it was not easy to find Xia Jingxue and the others. However, his frown only lasted for a moment before disappearing. The space between his brows relaxed. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.    

With just a simple glance, Ao Lingchen had already found traces of Xia Jingxue and the others. That girl was too astute, and directly stood on the martial stage of the square, standing out from the crowd.    

"Smart girl!"    

Ao Lingchen smiled faintly and took a step forward. Like a gust of wind, he quickly passed through the crowd.    

It was not so easy to pass through the crowd when people were crowded. However, perhaps because of Ao Lingchen's fierce reputation, when he passed by... Those who saw him moved aside, causing the other places to become even more crowded. Wherever Ao Lingchen passed, there would be people making way for him.    

This was the advantage of being famous. Even if Ao Lingchen had a fierce reputation, it would still benefit him in this kind of matter.    

"Xue Er."    

Xia Jingxue was happily chatting with Min Yunfei. Most of the time, she was the one talking. She was talking about Ao Lingchen's childhood. She did not notice the changes in her surroundings. Suddenly, she heard a call. It made her body tremble. Then, a person that could move her heart appeared in front of her.    

"Big Brother Ao."    

Thinking of the interesting things that Ao Lingchen told her about when he was young behind her back, Xia Jingxue's pretty face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.    

"Junior Lingchen."    

Min Yunfei smiled and nodded at Ao Lingchen. A faint blush appeared on her face. When she saw this legendary junior again, she did not know how she felt. She did not know what she was thinking.    

"What are you guys talking about?"    

Ao Lingchen was also stunned by the two girls' red faces. Could it be that they were embarrassed to see him?    

He did not know that the two girls were talking about his interesting story before he appeared. He thought he had heard them.    

"Nothing, nothing."    

Xia Jingxue's flushed face wanted to bury itself in the water to calm herself down.    

Just as Ao Lingchen was confused, there was a commotion in the crowd, which attracted his attention.    

"Ye Gaoxiong, Ye Ba!"    

A cold voice came out of Ao Lingchen's mouth, and two familiar figures appeared in his eyes. They were walking in the crowd.    

Ao Lingchen stared at Ye Gaoxiong for a moment. The two of them had also discovered the former. He carried a cold and mocking smile as he quickly walked out of the tunnel that everyone had created and pointed his sword at the former.    

The actions of Ye Gaoxiong and his brother caused everyone in the square to guess. Could it be that before the competition began, they would have to clash first?    

Thinking about how each one of them was a ruthless character, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation. If they could see an exciting collision before the competition, it would be a great thing that would ignite their enthusiasm.    

One of them was the Heavenly Pride of the Ye family, who had occupied the second place on the Tianwu's leaderboard and was locked in a fierce fight with the Tianwu's champion. The other was a legend whose name had risen in the outside world. Both of them were not easy to deal with.    

"Ye Gaoxiong, what are you guys doing here?!"    

Even though her strength was not comparable to Ye Gaoxiong's, Xia Jingxue did not give him face at all. She shouted fiercely, not fearing the face of the Ye family behind him at all.    

The Ye family was indeed the number one family in Twilight City, but the Tianwu Academy was also considered the number one power in Twilight City. It was hard to tell who was stronger and who was weaker. Even if she was disrespectful to the Ye family... As long as they didn't want to offend the Tianwu, they wouldn't do anything to him. Ye Gaoxiong shot a cold glance at Xia Jingxue, who was like a furious little lion, and ignored her. He stared at Ao Lingchen coldly, "The thing on the ninth floor and your head are mine."    

Just as he finished speaking, Xia Jingxue was about to fly into a rage when a loud and clear voice was heard.    

"Ye Gaoxiong, could it be that you are confident that you will be invincible after breaking through to the Martial Spirit?"    

Just as the voice sounded, a shadow rushed over everyone's heads like a bolt of lightning and landed on the martial stage.    

"Big Brother Suen."    

"Senior Zhiming."    

"Pauper Sun!"    

The sudden appearance of the figure caused a commotion, and the people on the martial stage all shouted with different attitudes.    

"You guys came so early."    

The one who forcefully rushed onto the Martial Dais and interrupted Ye Gaoxiong was Suen Zhiming. Initially, he didn't want to be this strong, but when he saw Ye Gaoxiong, his old enemy, acting tough, he wanted to slap him in the face.    

"Ye Gaoxiong, if you think you haven't been beaten up enough, I don't mind letting you have a good time."    

Suen Zhiming looked down at Ye Gaoxiong, as if the latter was an existence he could casually knead.    

Being looked down upon by Suen Zhiming in front of so many people, Ye Gaoxiong's eyes turned cold. He clenched his fist tightly, and blue veins were clearly visible on the back of his hand. His face was ashen as he said, "Suen Zhiming, you are courting death."    

Ye Gaoxiong had long known that Suen Zhiming had broken through to the Martial Spirit, but so what? He wasn't someone to be trifled with. It was hard to tell who would die in a real fight. He had been coveting the title of number one in the Tianwu for a long time.    

"What? Are you going to attack me?"    

Ao Lingchen retracted his Qi and quietly walked to Suen Zhiming's side. His Qi was like a pair of eyes that locked onto Ye Gaoxiong, ready to strike at any time.    

If Ye Gaoxiong really wanted to attack, he wouldn't mind taking care of him before the competition began.    

"How can I not be included in such a fun thing?"    

"Me too."    

The atmosphere was getting tense. Two silhouettes appeared not far away from the battle stage. Two silhouettes stepped on the shoulders of the people around the battle stage and jumped onto the battle stage, ignoring them.    

The people who had been suddenly stepped on by someone on their heads and shoulders didn't say anything when they saw the person who had come. They couldn't afford to offend the person who had come.    

"Murong Feng."    

"Ximen Country."    

The arrival of these two men caused Ao Lingchen to furrow his brows. If these two men were added to the mix, the enemy's formation would certainly not be simple.    

Suen Zhiming, who was standing at the side, had no expression on his face. He didn't take this matter seriously at all. In his opinion, it didn't matter even if there were two more opponents.    

Looking at the line-up on the stage and the sparks that were created, everyone below the stage was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Ao Lingchen's appearance would only serve as the catalyst to draw these influential people out. This quota would probably be decided by these people in the end.
