Urban God-level Youth

Chu Feiyun snorted coldly, "Arrogant! Beat me first, then talk."

With that, Chu Feiyun charged forward, swinging his longsword, creating sword shadows like blooming flowers. Every sword light lit up, enveloping Qin Hao.

"Is this the Sword Emperor Skill?" Everyone's faces froze when they saw the swordsmanship displayed by Chu Feiyun.

"That's right, this is the Sword Emperor Skill of the Beichu Dynasty, sharp and invincible, terrifyingly powerful."

"The Sword Qi carries a hint of imperial aura, it must be the Sword Emperor Skill."

"Once the Sword Emperor Skill is unleashed, who can rival it?"

Qin Hao snorted coldly, gathering blue thunderforce into a Thunder Sword, meeting the sword lights head-on.

"Bang bang bang"

"Boom boom boom"

The Thunder Sword clashed with Chu Feiyun's sword light, bursting into dazzling brilliance, akin to fireworks blooming, incomparably splendid.

The blue Thunder Sword was equally terrifying, its power and momentum not inferior, even suppressing Chu Feiyun.

It's not that the Sword Emperor Skill isn't strong, but Chu Feiyun hasn't fully comprehended its power.

The two engaged in fierce combat, fighting over a hundred rounds in just a few minutes.

Chu Feiyun pushed the Sword Emperor Skill's power to the limit, but Qin Hao was truly strong, leaving him helpless. If the fight continued, he wouldn't be able to defeat Qin Hao.

He's only comprehended two or three-tenths of the Sword Emperor Skill's power; if he could grasp over fifty percent, he'd be confident to defeat or even kill Qin Hao.

The clash between titans ended with Chu Feiyun and Qin Hao separated. Looking at Qin Hao, he said, "I'll fight you another day; today, I'll spare you." Then he stepped off the altar and walked away.

Everyone was stunned by Chu Feiyun's words. What did he mean? Was he scared?

Other top talents could see that Chu Feiyun lacked follow-through strength; if he continued, he'd undoubtedly lose, making his choice wise now.

Qin Hao sneered coldly, "Fight fifty more rounds, and I'm sure to take your head."

Chu Feiyun replied, "The future is long; don't be too arrogant."

"I have the capital to be arrogant; do you?" Qin Hao spoke disdainfully, as these powerful force talents could shamelessly say anything for face.

Chu Feiyun, seeing Qin Hao not giving him any face, looked grim: "When my Sword Emperor Skill is perfected, I'll surely end your life beneath my sword."

Qin Hao smiled faintly, "Even if you train for another hundred years, you couldn't be my match."

Everyone, upon hearing his words, nearly spat blood. This guy is too arrogant, completely disregarding these top talents.

Chu Feiyun walked away with a cold face, leaving the pressure area.

At this moment, other top talents exchanged glances, feeling somewhat unwilling. Binding Immortal Rope, Thunder Stone, and Peak Ascending Elixir were treasures they didn't want to miss, but Qin Hao's strength was formidable. Facing him alone might not be wise.

Just as Zhou Liuxing and Zhou Wanqing were about to act, Qin Hao flashed and appeared outside the altar.

"Qin Hao, don't leave. Hand over the Binding Immortal Rope!" Zhou Liuxing shouted, chasing after him.

Zhou Wanqing followed closely, stepping once more into the pressure area.

Talents from other top factions, some followed, some left.

Nangong Yuya did not follow; with Qin Hao's strength, these people couldn't catch up, let alone win a fight.

She planned to talk to Qin Hao about the Binding Immortal Rope afterward.

Although the Peak Ascending Elixir was also precious, if their dynasty wanted to obtain it, they could still manage.

....

Qin Hao left the altar's pressure range, disappearing quickly, faster than imaginable.

Zhou Liuxing showed a glimpse of regret in his eyes; the Binding Immortal Rope was something he'd long desired, but missed out on today.

Three days later, the secret realm trial concluded.

All participants within the secret realm were transmitted out, with Qin Hao remaining top of the leaderboard, little changed thereafter.

Qin Hao, Ye Lingyi, Xian Yin, and others came to where Ye Jingtian and Ling'er were.

Ye Lingyi, Wu Yutong, Dong Mengqi, and Gao Linglong all wore smiles, ranked over five hundred, directly advancing to become Heaven and Earth Academy disciples.

The top thousand directly advanced to become Heaven and Earth Academy disciples; those ranked from one thousand to ten thousand still needed a second selection.

Zhou Wantong spoke, "First, congratulations to all the young talents who advanced. The top thousand contestants should report to the academy in five days.

At that time, classes will be arranged for you, and rewards distributed. Starting tomorrow, contestants within the top ten thousand will begin a month-long second selection."

After Zhou Wantong's announcement, people began leaving Heaven and Earth Academy.

Leaving Heaven and Earth Academy, Ye Jingtian bore a broad smile; all Skyfire Dynasty contestants advanced; he couldn't be more thrilled.

Ye Lingyi and others entering Heaven and Earth Academy would achieve far beyond Heavenly Human Realm, starting at least from Peak Realm, right?

The more Ye Jingtian thought, the happier he got. When Ye Lingyi returned to Skyfire Dynasty, who among the nearby dynasties would dare dissent?

Moreover, there were Wu Yutong, Dong Mengqi, Gao Linglong, and Qin Hao among them.

If Skyfire Dynasty faced a crisis in the future, these individuals would be formidable allies.

"Mr. Qin, I must thank you; without you, Lingyi and the others couldn't have directly advanced." Ye Jingtian spoke to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao smiled, "Mr. Ye, there's no need for formality."

Ye Lingyi, Gao Linglong, Wu Yutong, and Dong Mengqi looked at Qin Hao, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

"No need for courtesy. I count you as friends and hope you all attain good prospects." Qin Hao smiled at them.

Ye Jingtian, "I've already booked a banquet at the restaurant. Let's go there to eat and talk."

On their way back to the restaurant, many people were watching Qin Hao, the number one on this year's secret realm trial leaderboard. His reputation in Tiandi City was as high as, if not higher than, those top talents.

Every day, all major and minor restaurants in Tiandi City talked about this secret realm trial.

Qin Hao snatched three great treasures, defeating top talents consecutively, becoming a topic of discussion.

Almost everywhere, whether in the streets or restaurants, people discussed these events.

Before Qin Hao and his group returned to the restaurant, a squad of imposing royal guards stopped them.

"Mr. Qin, our princess invites you." The leader of the royal guards looked at Qin Hao.

This was a Peak Realm master; a Peak Realm expert as the royal guard leader must belong to some great dynasty.

Qin Hao looked at him and asked, "Which princess?"

"Princess Wanqing is our princess."

Princess Zhou Wanqing of the Nan Zhou Dynasty?

Ye Jingtian and others turned their eyes to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao calmly replied, "Sorry, I don't have time now; maybe another day."

The leader from Nan Zhou Dynasty's royal guards, hearing this, slightly frowned: "Mr. Qin, our princess sincerely invites you, I hope you will oblige."
