Chapter 2023: Two Legs Through Hardship and Calamity

t do the same."Xuangu, come here.""Yes!"As soon as the words left his mouth, a black-clad man leaped onto the stage. It was Long Xuan Gu, an elder of the Dragon Clan, a powerful being at the peak of D...Seeing this, everyone present nervously shut their mouths, feeling that this young man was in great danger this time.

Facing the opponent's fierce attack, Jiang Fangzhou showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, a sly smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. This feeling of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger thrilled him to no end.

If you're so eager, then let's end it!

He suddenly reached out with his left hand, plunging it straight into the flurry of legs. With a bang, he grabbed hold of the opponent's ankle.

Wei Wei was astonished. He had been confident that his move would succeed, but he hadn't expected it to be so easily broken.

Before he could even recover from the shock, Jiang Fangzhou's right fist slammed hard into his cheekbone. With a sickening crunch, his leg was brutally shattered into a V shape.

"Ah!"

Wei Wei let out a scream, but before he could finish, Jiang Fangzhou kicked out with one leg, and a "crack" sounded again. His other leg was completely broken.

After Ye Bufan had broken his legs last time, he had spent a lot of spirit medicine to barely recover from his injuries.

But I didn't expect that my first attempt today would be interrupted again. It seems like these legs are truly plagued with misfortune.

At the same time, he was also surprised. When did this scrawny guy become so ruthless

No one would give him an answer, and then he was kicked out by Jiang Fangzhou with a kick, landing heavily on the stage.

"Okay, testing is over..."

Song Jian had delayed for long enough, feeling that the battle should be almost over.

When he turned back, he found Wei Wei lying miserably on the stage, while Jiang Fangzhou stood there unharmed.

"This..."

He frowned slightly, not expecting the outcome to be like this. He cursed inwardly, thinking the people from Fengyun Academy were really useless.

But there's no way, things have already come to pass and no one can change it.

Jiang Fangzhou smiled faintly at him: "Your Highness, do you think my test passed If not, we can try again!"

After his surge in power, his confidence grew significantly. Even when facing the An Shun Prince, he remained calm and composed.

Song Jian waved his hand gloomily: "Go down, you've passed."

At this time, Ye Bufan playfully smiled and said: "Your Highness, I'm only at the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Would you like to find someone to test yours as well"

Then he glanced over at Cangfeng Academy: "Do any of you want to test my cultivation Anyone can!"

"This..."

in

A deathly silence fell over the crowd. No one spoke, especially those from Cangfeng Academy, who all hung their heads in shame.

Who would be foolish enough to test the number one on the Heavenly Rankings The outcome would only be more miserable than Wei Wei's.

Song Jian could be said to have been in a position of great power, yet for some reason, facing this young man, he always felt a sense of frustration. He had a lot of anger inside him but couldn't find an outlet.

"Alright, you can go now. You've passed the qualification exam for Lingxiao Academy. Now, the official selection tournament begins."

After he finished speaking, a wave of unease washed over him. He had done his homework beforehand and knew the strengths of Lingxiao Academy like the back of his hand.

He thought that by changing the rules, he could completely keep Ye Bufan out, but he didn't expect Jiang Fangzhou to appear as a major variable. Everything went awry, and he could only think of another way.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Ye Bufan smiled brightly, leading everyone towards the stage.

After they went down, Song Jian stepped onto the stage again and began to announce the detailed rules of this competition.

"My lords, the Emperor has entrusted me with the responsibility of overseeing this new ranking tournament for newcomers."

"In order to live up to Your Majesty's expectations, I have thought day and night, and finally come up with a set of relatively fair and reasonable competition rules. The specific content is as follows..."

Song Jian's ability to control the court was not just based on his power, but also on his shrewdness.

What he said was extremely skillful. In the entire Tianfeng Empire, only the Empress Dowager could change his mind.

Now he held the young emperor forward and said that the Emperor had ordered him to do this. The Empress Dowager naturally couldn't publicly change her mind, because doing so would be equivalent to slapping the Emperor in the face.

Ye Bufan naturally saw through the trickery, but now he held the upper hand and had absolute strength. How the other party changed the rules didn't matter to him.

By the time Song Jian finished speaking, he had basically understood the rules of this competition: winner takes all.

The competition consists of six matches in total. In each match, the Imperial Family of Tianfeng Empire, Cangfeng Academy, and Lingxiao Academy each send out a member to compete. The ultimate winner gets one point.

After six matches are completed, the side with the most points will win all six spots allocated to the Tianfeng Empire.

That is to say, past competitions focused on individual strength. No matter which side you belonged to, as long as your personal strength was sufficient, you could get a spot in the competition.

But this time is different, no matter how strong you are individually, as long as your faction loses, you will ultimately be eliminated.

After understanding, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

He smirked, the other's change was obviously aimed at him.

This An Shun Prince not only wanted to block himself from entering, but also the entire Lingxiao Academy.

In Song Jian's view, the strongest contender this time around was still Cangfeng Academy. After all, Feng Xingkong had invited a large number of masters.

But to prevent any surprises, a winner-takes-all system was implemented, with the purpose of leaving them with no hope whatsoever.

After the announcement of the rules, there was an uproar in the audience. This system had never been used before in so many years of selection competitions.

But the onlookers were just spectators, as long as there was excitement, they didn't care about anything else, and no one would object.

The Cangfeng Academy is the biggest beneficiary and naturally enjoys the fruits of its labor.

The Tianfeng Empire's royal team was hand-built by Song Jian, and they had even discussed this kind of rule before, so no one would say anything about it.

The most dissatisfied was Hua Zi Yue, her brow slightly furrowed. But before Song Jian's words, she had been completely silenced. Now, it was not appropriate for her to speak up.n this woman before and had no idea why she wanted to kill him.A woman's voice was icy cold: "Ye, you shameless villain! It was you who imprisoned my master. Today, I must kill you!"Ye Bufan was a lit...
