Zhang Ruochen hid some of his strength and did not show the sword's intent of reaching the peak of his heart.

Once it is displayed, everyone will probably be even more shocked. Using the sword to reach a higher level is enough to defeat Feng Zhilin.

"Swords go to a higher level with your will?"

Feng Zhilin's face looked very ugly. He never expected that Zhang Ruochen's realm in the sword path would reach such a powerful level.

"No, I won't lose, I haven't lost yet! I am three martial arts level higher than him, and I will definitely be able to defeat him!"

Feng Zhilin gritted his teeth, did not admit defeat, waved his spear and attacked again.

Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly, and a ball of arc-shaped wave of air was pulled up at the tip of his sword.

The form of the air flow is like a wave of water, and countless sword energy shuttles through the air flow, making the sound of tides surging.

"Tianxin is experiencing the trend!"

With one sword, the sword energy turned into a five-meter-high wave, hit Feng Zhilin, and rolled Feng Zhilin backwards.

"ah……"

Feng Zhilin screamed, and the spear in his hand fell off and fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

Feng Zhilin's white robe was shattered by the sword energy and turned into pieces of rags, leaving only a silver scale armor vest left on his body.

Except for the area covered by the silver scale armor vest, all the sword energy cut out bloody wounds, and the whole body was covered with blood and flesh.

This is Zhang Ruochen's mercy, otherwise, the sword just now could cut off Feng Zhilin's limbs and head.

"Feng Zhilin, you are defeated!"

Zhang Ruochen walked over with an iron sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword at Feng Zhilin's neck and said, "I said, I will not kill you, I will only avenge my fourth brother and break your arms and bones!"

"Wait...wait!"

Feng Zhilin trembled all over, got up from the ground, knelt in front of Zhang Ruochen. He kowtowed to Zhang Ruochen and said, "Zhang Ruochen, thank you... Thank you for not killing."

Looking at Feng Zhilin kneeling in front of him, Zhang Ruochen's face was showing a look of confusion. Suddenly, he felt a dangerous aura.

not good!

At this moment, Feng Zhilin suddenly raised his head and spit out three silver needles in a row.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The unique skill of the Feng family is to play the tongue and arrow.

Feng Zhiyi could only use his tongue to eject a silver needle. However, Feng Zhilin could spit out three in a row.

In the stands in the distance, no one expected that Feng Zhilin would suddenly attack.

At such a close distance, even a warrior with great perfection in Xuanji Realm would be hit.

"Ding Ding!"

Zhang Ruochen swung his iron sword and accurately slapped the three silver needles, and shot the three silver needles backwards.

One of the silver needles penetrated Feng Zhilin's throat.

Two other silver needles pierced Feng Zhilin's eyes.

"Well... Huo Xing... King... Prince... Save me..."

Feng Zhilin pulled out the silver needle inserted in his throat, covered his neck tightly, and rushed toward the life and death stage. However, his eyes were blind and he could not see the road at all. He accidentally stepped on the air and fell down the life and death stage 30 meters high.

Amid a series of screams, Feng Zhilin fell into the iron thorn forest, and his body was stabbed with more than a dozen blood holes. He struggled twice, completely lowered his arms, and no sound.

silence.

The entire life and death platform became extremely quiet, and only the sound of everyone's breathing and heartbeat were heard.

Zhang Ruochen sighed softly. He originally wanted to teach Feng Zhilin some lessons, but he had never thought of killing him. Even if he broke his arms and bones, he could still recover within half a month as long as he applied the intermittent ointment of muscles and bones.

Shaking his head, Zhang Ruochen walked off the stage of life and death.

Afterwards, all the students from Yunwu County and State cheered and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is so amazing. Even Feng Zhilin died at your hands. In the future, I will see who dares to bully our Yunwu County students."

A pretty beautiful female student stared at Zhang Ruochen with admiration and said, "Ninth Prince, the sword you defeated Feng Zhilin is so amazing! Can I learn sword from you?"

Liu Chengfeng saw that Zhang Ruochen seemed to be in a bad mood, guessed the reason, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, Feng Zhilin took it upon himself. You have no need to take it seriously! Besides, it was because he fell from the life and death platform and fell to death, which had nothing to do with you."

Zhang Ruochen nodded gently and said lightly: "Since Feng Zhilin is dead, then this matter has come to an end. Everyone will be over!"

The students from Yunwu County were very excited, but Prince Huo Xing's face was particularly cold, staring at Zhang Ruochen's departure back, "Waste, Feng Zhilin is just a waste, and he can't even kill a single Zhang Ruochen!"

A student from the Sifang County and State next to him said, "What should I do now? Could you just let Zhang Ruochen go?"

"Let him go? How is that possible?"

Prince Huo Xing tightly clamped his hands and said coldly: "I will write a letter to my father now, asking him to spend a high price, and ask the killer of the underworld gate to get rid of Zhang Ruochen. If Zhang Ruochen does not die, he will become a great enemy of all counties and states in the future."

...

After the decisive battle at the Life and Death Platform, Zhang Ruochen returned to the Dragon Martial Palace and began to continue practicing sword skills.

On the third day, he was finally summoned by the head of the West Courtyard.

The owner of the West Courtyard was wearing a golden robe and sat on a white stone beside the pool, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and was fishing.

"Meet the Lord of the Court!"

Zhang Ruochen came to the head of the West Courtyard and bowed slightly.

"Zhang Ruochen, do you know why I summoned you a month after the college entrance examination?" The head of the West Courtyard was still holding the fishing rod and staring at the pool, without turning around to look at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Students don't know."

During the examination in the academy, Zhang Ruochen met the owner of the West Courtyard once, but that time he was too far away and just took a random look.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen began to seriously look at the head of the courtyard, the only strong man in the west courtyard who could wear a golden robe.

He looked like he was already in his seventies and eighties, with white hair, but there was no wrinkle on his hands or the side face, nor a trace of old look.

"I don't know what level of cultivation the master of the West Courtyard has reached?" Zhang Ruochen could not see through the cultivation master of the West Courtyard.

The head of the West Courtyard put down the fishing rod, stood up, turned around and looked at Zhang Ruochen, and said, "Do you know that the first student in every class will be accepted as a personal disciple by the deputy director. Of course, if the new student with excellent talent, I will also accept disciples in person."

"You performed very well in the Wu Tower. At that time, I had already thought of accepting disciples. I meant that you did not pass the second level of the third level of the Wu Tower, but that you passed the third level of the third level of the Wu Tower and defeated Luo Xu at the same level as you."

Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked and said, "The head of the courtyard knows what's happening in the martial arts tower?"

"Ha ha!"

The head of the West Courtyard laughed and said, "Do you really think that the Wu Tower is so important, only Huang Yatou and Duanmu Yatou are guarding it? There are some secrets. Even the two of them don't know."

Then, the head of the West Courtyard looked solemn and said, "However, I don't object to what they did. Even if they didn't stop you at that time, I would personally stop you from climbing the fourth floor of the Wu Tower."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Is the lord worried that I have shown too high talent and will be assassinated by some people?"

The head of the West Courtyard nodded and said, "The Wu City Academy is not absolutely safe. Over the years, the black market and the Moon-Worshiping Demon Cult have been continuously infiltrating into the Academy. Not only are the students with their people, but even some of the senior officials of the Academy have their people."

"If you had reached the fourth floor of the Wuta Tower at that time, the black market would definitely kill you in the cradle at all costs. Even I would have difficulty protecting you."

Zhang Ruochen said: "What is the head of the courtyard referring to the action of killing the seedlings?"

The head of the West Courtyard exclaimed lightly and said, "Do you know the killing operation?"

You should know that the black market and the Wushi money shop have been in opposition since ancient times, fighting each other, expanding territory, and competing for market resources.

Wushi Academy is the base camp for Wushi money shops to cultivate talents. In order to defeat Wushi money shops from the source, the black market launched the "Pearl Medal Killing Operation", which specifically assassinated the elite geniuses in Wushi Academy.

Eight hundred years ago, the black market launched the killing operation, and Zhang Ruochen certainly knew.

Zhang Ruochen had no way to explain to the head of the West Courtyard, so he could only push him to Prince Yunwu and said, "Before I came to take the academy exam, I heard from my father once. In fact, I am not very clear about the action of killing the seedlings."

"It turns out that Prince Yunwu has reminded you, so I don't need to say more!"

In the eyes of the head of the West Courtyard, Prince Yunwu would learn that the killing of the Miaomeng is not a difficult task. After all, the killing of the Miaomeng has been going on for thousands of years, which is not a secret.

Zhang Ruochen's expression moved and said, "The reason why the head of the institute delayed summoning students for a month is that he wanted to use the students as bait to pull out the evil people who sneaked into the West Courtyard by using the students?"

"That's right!" The head of the West Courtyard smiled and said, "You won't hold a grudge against me, are you?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Since the head of the hospital has told the students about this in person, how can the students hold a grudge against the head of the hospital? I really want to know whether the head of the hospital has found out the evil person lurking in the west courtyard?"

"Some clues have been found, but I'm still waiting for the big fish to enter the net. I believe that the net will be closed soon." said the head of the West Courtyard.

Then, the head of the West Courtyard said, "Zhang Ruochen, are you willing to worship me and become my personal disciple?"

There is a big difference between students and personal disciples.

A teacher can teach many students, but there are very few personal disciples.

Once he becomes the personal disciple of the head of the West Courtyard, he will be equivalent to having an extra backer. Then Zhang Ruochen's status in the West Courtyard will immediately rise, and no one dares to cause trouble for him in the future. Even when he arrives at the inner palace of the Wu City Academy, Zhang Ruochen's status is still higher than that of other inner palace students.

However, Zhang Ruochen did not want to be the head of the West Courtyard as his teacher, because he had too many secrets on his body and did not want outsiders to know. If he had been the head of the West Courtyard as his teacher, some of the secrets would definitely be exposed.

Zhang Ruochen respectfully saluted to the West Courtyard Master and said, "Thank you for your love, but the students want to practice their own martial arts, and they have no plans to become disciples for the time being."

Surprisingly, the head of the West Courtyard was not angry, but smiled and said, "Hehe! I have been the head of the West Courtyard for 34 years and have taken the initiative to accept disciples eleven times in total. You are the second person to reject me."
