Ning Chen met many acquaintances, including Feng Jing from Tianjin Martial Arts Academy, Zhang Yuntian from Southern Martial Arts Academy, Yun Kai from Suzhou Martial Arts Academy, Wei Xiaoyu from Linhai Martial Arts Academy, etc...
Not all the team members who participated in the previous martial arts exchange competition came.
But those who were in the top ten of the "Genius List" were basically all there. They were strong enough and talented enough to be worth cultivating.
Of course, more senior students come to the martial arts academy.
These people generally have high levels of cultivation, and they are all in the fourth level.
Some of them were not friendly towards the Capital Martial Arts Academy, and they were the same towards Ning Chen, with scrutiny and provocation.
"The Martial Arts Exchange Competition is a martial arts exchange competition. Ning Chen can be invincible in the Martial Arts Exchange Competition, but that's because seniors like us can't participate."
"Have you heard? Today, a conflict broke out between Ning Chen and Yang Xuan from the Qin Province Martial Arts Academy. Yang Xuan actually entered the fourth level. Unfortunately, he still lost to Ning Chen."
"Oh, it's just a bunch of little guys."
"Ning Chen is just a young boy after all. The more prosperous he is outside, the more embarrassed he will be inside the secret realm. It is not impossible that he may even lose his life."
"I am becoming more and more interested in Ning Chen. I will discuss it with him when I enter the secret realm. If I accidentally kill him... haha, then he will be unlucky."
"It is unethical to kill a genius."
"What is the tunnel and what is not authentic? Entering the secret realm is equivalent to entering another world. Respecting martial arts, how can you seize treasures without killing? How can you become stronger without seizing treasures?"
Some people were talking, their words were cruel, and they were ready to face a brutal fight after entering the secret realm.
Someone among them mentioned Ning Chen and threatened that Ning Chen's current glory was only in the freshman year. If he really faced off against seniors like them, Ning Chen would definitely lose. He would lose miserably and embarrassingly, and even lose his life.
.
Some people just went to kill Ning Chen.
For example, Nan Province Martial Arts Academy.
Not only Zhang Yuntian, but other students at the Nan Province Martial Arts Academy also hated Ning Chen, and did not hide it, saying that they would fight with Ning Chen when they entered the secret realm, and they might "accidentally" kill Ning Chen.
Because the Southern Province Martial Arts Academy was the champion of the Martial Arts Exchange Competition last year, but this year it suffered a huge setback and failed to even make it into the top three.
And this is thanks to Ning Chen.
In response to these remarks, the leading teachers from major martial arts academies and the stationed masters all chose to remain silent and did not interfere.
In fact, it's not just people from the martial arts academy.
People from the ancient family, the military, the Zhenfu, and the Special Operations Department are also discussing Ning Chen. Who makes Ning Chen so popular now?
Many people have expressed their interest in Ning Chen, but I don't know whether this "interest" is in good faith or malicious.
night.
People from all major forces have arrived and will enter the secret realm tomorrow.
A group of people came to the Capital Martial Arts Academy. They were members of the Jiang family in Jinling. They were led by Jiang Beihan of the Jiang family and visited the Capital Martial Arts Academy.
"Cousin."
A girl ran to Jiang Yun enthusiastically and reached out to hold Jiang Yun's arm. Her name was Jiang Yan. She was the same age as Jiang Yun, a few months younger, but her cultivation was not weak and she was already in the third grade.
In addition, there are two men and one woman. The two men, Jiang Kui and Jiang Huai, are both in their twenties, and the woman is Jiang Li, who looks to be in her mid-twenties. These three are all in the fourth rank.
Jiang Beiwang, who was leading the team, glanced at the students at the Capital Martial Arts Academy, and finally paused on Ning Chen, then said to Jiang Zheng: "Teacher Jiang, I take the liberty of interrupting because I want to discuss something with you."
"Jiang Yun is the most outstanding child of our Jiang family, and is also the best among the freshman students at your Capital Martial Arts Academy."
"With such a connection, I think when we enter the secret realm, we might as well form an alliance and help each other. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but hesitate.
Of course it’s good to have more helpers and partners, but what if you gain something and encounter some kind of treasure? How to distribute the obtained treasure?
Also, if this is the case, is Jiang Yun on the side of the Jiang family or on the side of our Capital Martial Arts Academy?
When in trouble, will Jiang Yun help the Jiang family or the people from the Capital Martial Arts Academy?
A series of questions.
In the end, Jiang Zheng politely declined, but he did not say anything. He only said: "It's okay to help each other, but there may be a lot of inconvenience if we have to act together. We might as well act separately and wait until the need arises to join forces."
"This..." Jiang Beihan frowned, but in the end he didn't force it.
Before leaving, Jiang Beihan called Jiang Yun aside and gave him a few words of advice.
Several children of the Jiang family greeted Jiang Yun and followed Jiang Beihan away.
...
the next day.
The sky was gray and it looked like it was going to rain, but it didn't come down.
Everyone gathered and entered the mountains under the leadership of the military.
On the way, Ning Chen met Xu You.
"Brother Xu." Ning Chen was delighted.
"Haha." Xu You laughed heartily and hugged Ning Chen, "We arrived very late last night, so we didn't look for you." He said hello to Jiang Yun again, and then pulled Ning Chen there.
On the Xu family's side in the north, introduce him to people from the Xu family.
People from the Xu family are very generous and enthusiastic towards Ning Chen.
Ning Chen and Xu You chatted a lot along the way, but they both had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything about acting together.
The principle is the same.
If it was just Ning Chen and Xu You, then there would be no problem, but now that the two sides are in different camps, many problems will arise.
Unknowingly, everyone arrived at the entrance of the secret realm.
This is in a cave. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary cave, but there is something else inside, as if there is a door to space.
Once you cross the door of space, you enter a secret realm.
"Brother Xu, be careful." Ning Chen patted Xu You on the back.
"You too." Xu You smiled and nodded to Jiang Yun.
People began to enter the secret realm one after another.
When it was the turn of the Beijing Martial Arts Academy, Situ Nan suddenly pulled Ning Chen and whispered: "I heard that many people are going to be unfavorable to you. You should be careful yourself. Teacher Jiang is still trustworthy, but don't expect Zhou Zhihua.
Already."
Ning Chen was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "What about you?"
"Me?" Situ Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I will help you if I can, but if it is beyond my ability..."
There is no need to finish the words.
Ning Chen nodded to him: "Thank you."
The two of them didn't have any friendship, and they didn't even have much interaction before. It was enough for Situ Nan to be able to tell him frankly.
It's enough to do what you can.
After all, Situ Nan is only at the peak of the third level, not even the fourth level.
Ning Chen glanced at his teammates. He had his own concerns. Apart from himself, he only trusted Han Zhong and Jiang Yun in the team, and he didn't trust anyone else.
