Chen Nan nodded and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? I accept the challenge."
"Three months ago, you killed my brother in front of everyone. I swore that I would kill you in front of everyone in return. Hmph, see you in three days!" The young Marquis of Shenwei clasped his hands towards Meng Ke'er, a hint of infatuation in his eyes, before turning and leaving on his dragon.
Meng Ke'er asked, "What exactly does Brother Chen want?"
Chen Nan had already seen a cold glint in her eyes, knowing that she was already angry and even had a hint of murderous intent. Now that he had already made her lose her composure and achieved his goal, he didn't want to get entangled any further.
He slapped the little princess hard again, making her so ashamed and angry that she almost cried. Then he called over the magician who had been standing by, stepped on his back, and quickly descended.
A hint of icy coldness appeared on Meng Ke'er's stunningly beautiful face, and two sharp beams of light shot from her eyes. She focused her voice and transmitted it to Chen Nan, saying, "Brother Chen, you have recently become famous throughout the continent. If there is an opportunity, Ke'er will definitely spar with you."
"Haha..." Chen Nan burst into laughter.
Meng Ke'er's heart skipped a beat, thinking to herself, "Could it be that he knows my cultivation method focuses on cultivating the mind and is deliberately interfering with my practice?"
After regaining her freedom, the little princess gritted her teeth, originally intending to take revenge on Chen Nan, but instead was humiliated. She was now truly on the verge of going berserk, and she yelled down at the crowd, "You scumbag, I'm not finished with you, ahhh..."
The battle for supremacy among the young elites of the four academies was in full swing, drawing tens of thousands of spectators who watched with bated breath. Dragons roared and sword energy soared into the sky within the plaza. Every participant possessed at least a third-tier cultivation level, a fact that astonished everyone. The overall strength of this year's top elites from the four academies was the strongest in nearly a decade.
Such a battle of young powerhouses is unprecedented on the entire continent. It can be said that this summit battle has almost demonstrated the highest level of young powerhouses on the entire continent.
The third-tier sub-dragon, which was over ten feet long, was incredibly destructive. Its massive tail would sweep across the plaza at any moment, leaving it in ruins. Every time a dragon knight left the arena for a fight, the competition had to be paused and the plaza rebuilt.
Third-tier mages are also exceptionally terrifying, unleashing a deluge of terrifying magic, like a meteor shower descending upon the world, with truly immense and unparalleled power.
Since Chen Nan, an Eastern martial artist, suddenly appeared in recent months, this Eastern martial artist, who was not favored in previous years, has received much attention in this competition and has achieved extraordinary results in several battles.
However, no Eastern cultivators participated in this great battle. Although both the Immortal Martial Academy and the Divine Wind Academy have cultivation departments, these are not the main departments of the two academies, so it is normal that there is a lack of young cultivation masters.
Overall, the level of this competition was extremely high, moving even the most seasoned veterans. The performance of these young powerhouses seems to foreshadow a peak period for the cultivation world.
For the past three days since the start of the battle, Chen Nan had been watching the fight. His heart was filled with emotion, and he sighed inwardly that it was indeed worthy of being the peak battle of the young powerhouses of the four academies. Many people's cultivation had reached an astonishing level.
During the great battle, several people caught his attention, including three from the War God Academy. One of them was the young Marquis Shenwei, with whom he had a three-day agreement. This person was indeed extraordinary, far stronger than his arrogant younger brother. Judging from the battle aura that ripped through the sky, his cultivation level was probably already approaching the fourth-tier realm. It was indeed not unjust for Kevin to lose to him at the Immortal Martial Academy.
The other two people who caught Chen Nan's attention after defeating the academy were a brother and sister. The older sister, Lisa, was a dragon knight. This woman was incredibly brave, seemingly filled with explosive power. Her blazing battle aura surged like raging waves, causing all her opponents to suffer greatly. Because of her large frame and ordinary appearance, she was nicknamed "Female Tyrannosaurus" by the onlookers.
Lisa's younger brother, Thorne, is a tall Western martial artist who cultivates Western fighting spirit and practices Eastern martial arts techniques. The combination of the two has many highlights, and his cultivation has reached the third level of mastery. It's impossible for him to go unnoticed.
Alice, a female magician from the Illusion Magic Academy, also caught Chen Nan's attention. This woman always wore a mask during battle, so her appearance was unknown, but judging from her graceful and exquisite figure, she seemed to be an extremely beautiful woman.
Alice's magical skills amazed many people outside the arena, not only because of her profound cultivation, but also because of her extraordinary understanding of magic. She could cast many spells without even having to chant incantations, and ordinary spells became incredibly powerful in her hands.
The simple Wind Flight Technique has been transformed by her. She moves through the air like an elf, her flight speed reaching an extreme, making it almost impossible for her opponents to catch her. Many people speculate that her strength may have already reached the fourth level.
The most eye-catching young powerhouse at Shenfeng Academy is Xiao Feng from the Eastern Martial Arts Department. Rumor has it that he is the number one expert in Shenfeng Academy, with countless admirers. Every time he appears, he is greeted with cheers from many students of Shenfeng Academy.
Xiao Feng was tall and rugged, exuding masculinity. His martial arts skills were unfathomable; legend had it that he had reached the peak of the third tier two years ago, and most people believed he had now broken through the third-tier barrier and entered the fourth tier. However, all of this was just hearsay; no one knew his true strength. After three major battles, it was impossible for anyone to discern his true abilities.
The last person to catch Chen Nan's attention was named Qianlong, a student of the Immortal Martial Academy. The reason he caught Chen Nan's attention was not because of his outstanding performance in the battle, but simply because after each battle, Long Wu, the stunning beauty from the Divine Wind Academy, would appear and carefully wipe his sweat in a secluded place.
When Chen Nan accidentally witnessed this scene, he was so surprised that his mouth dropped open.
On ordinary days, Long Wu is radiant and confident, with a slightly rebellious personality; otherwise, she wouldn't have short hair that barely covers her ears and wear oversized boyish clothes. She always wears a bright, sunny smile, frequently refers to herself as "brother," and enjoys teasing girls. She exudes unparalleled youthful energy, her androgynous beauty radiating a unique allure.
But today, Chen Nan was surprised to find her face full of tenderness as she carefully wiped Qianlong's sweat, looking every bit like a happy little woman, which was quite different from her usual self.
If this scene were discovered, it would definitely become major news at Shenfeng Academy, and many boys would probably hear the sound of their hearts breaking. Even Chen Nan felt a sense of loss. Although he had no designs on Long Wu, seeing such a perfect woman seemingly captured by someone else still made him feel a little uncomfortable. It seemed to be a common problem for men.
This scene reminded Chen Nan of when Long Wu went to the Immortal Martial Academy, and several girls said she was going to meet her lover. It seems the legend wasn't just a rumor.
Because of Long Wu, Qianlong also became one of the young powerhouses Chen Nan began to pay attention to. Qianlong was tall and handsome, a classic example of an oriental beauty. He always barely won in his matches, and after watching several of his battles, Chen Nan was greatly surprised. The reason was simple: he discovered that no matter how strong the opponent, Qianlong could always gain a slight advantage. What did this mean? Qianlong's true strength was unfathomable; he was hiding his power! Finally, Chen Nan concluded that Qianlong's cultivation was absolutely extraordinary and terrifying.
Above the square, the dragon roared, its battle aura soaring through the sky, its sword energy like a rainbow, the battle was incredibly fierce, and the onlookers shouted wildly, many of them losing their voices from shouting.
On this day, a shocking piece of news spread rapidly among many cultivators: Chen Nan, the extraordinary protector of the Chu Kingdom who had emerged out of nowhere in recent months, was about to engage in a life-or-death battle with the top young powerhouse of the War God Academy, the young Marquis Shenwei.
