Chapter 71

"Sure." Lin Feng responded.

However, his heart was surging with excitement, unable to calm down at all.

Guo Li smiled. He was just making casual conversation and didn't pay attention to the change in Lin Feng's expression.

But the speaker was unintentional, while the listener was very much intentional!

Why is it impossible?

Lin Feng's breathing became somewhat rapid.

Others indeed couldn't do it, but what about himself?

It felt like a door was opening.

"Refine the essence spirit, and merge it with the elemental heart." Lin Feng's eyes sparkled with a sharp light, barely able to contain his excitement. "The energy of heaven and earth and genetic energy are not mutually exclusive. By merging the essence spirit with the elemental heart... it won't change the nature of the dantian or the direction of cultivation, but it can add the strongest ability of a genetic warrior—"

"Elemental martial arts!"

Lin Feng's fists clenched unconsciously.

Why didn't I think of it?

Guo Li's words were like a wake-up call.

***

On the side of the combat arena.

"An exciting match." Teng Lan, wearing a blue genetic battle armor, stood up and smiled, clapping. "What a fierce battle! The Combat Academy's standards have truly improved over the years, truly impressive." His clear voice echoed throughout the entire combat arena, demonstrating his strength.

The students' attention was immediately drawn, including Lin Feng, who also came to his senses and looked over.

"Yes, I didn't expect that in just a few decades, the Combat Academy's standards could rival those of our Crown Elite Academy." Vice President Wu Sheng sighed, and the surrounding students were flattered, whispering to each other and smiling.

Lin Feng frowned slightly as he looked at Vice President Wu Sheng.

At this moment—

"Tsk." A contemptuous snort suddenly sounded, particularly grating.

Thud! Leaping lightly, Huang Shang, wearing a yellow genetic battle armor, jumped down to the combat arena, causing a stir among the spectators.

"Crown Elite Academy, Huang Shang."

"I wonder if anyone from the Combat Academy... dares to come up and fight?"

His voice was calm, filled with extreme confidence and arrogance.

Huang Shang crossed his arms, his gaze sweeping over the audience, finally landing on Jin Haochen, a cold smirk on his face as he beckoned with his fingers.

Whoosh—

The entire combat arena instantly erupted.

"Who is he?"

"Idiot, that's the Emperor, last year's runner-up in the Sunset City 18 and under New Star Competition."

"Too damn arrogant!"

...

Huang Shang had stirred up public anger!

Swish! Lei Gang stood up, his tiger-like eyes bloodshot, his aura fierce.

Behind him, Dean Xia Shan and Yue Meng also stood up, dissatisfied, their gazes turning to Teng Lan and Wu Sheng. Huang Shang's actions were too excessive.

"Blue Wolf, I think you're tired of living!" Lei Gang's killing intent was evident, like a blood-soaked blade, giving people a chill.

"Misunderstanding, Brother Lei, I didn't know this child would be so impulsive." Teng Lan looked innocent, spreading his hands.

"Sorry, Inspector, it's my fault, I didn't stop this child." The vice president hurriedly explained, "Huang Shang is too arrogant and can't stand any verbal provocation. If I've offended you, please bear with me."

At this moment—

"Nobody?"

"Such a large Combat Academy, surely not all of them are cowards, right?"

"If the students don't dare to come, a teacher will do."

Huang Shang shrugged.

Instantly, all the students' faces changed. This wasn't just arrogance; it was like stepping on their faces with a shoe!

He was here to cause trouble!

***

Anger!

Lei Gang truly didn't expect Blue Wolf to go so far.

It was a dilemma.

If Huang Shang was allowed to continue, the Combat Academy would appear weak if it didn't dare to fight. Not only would he lose face, but the Combat Academy would also lose all its dignity. This would spread throughout Sunset City within three hours, severely damaging the Combat Academy's reputation.

But if they fought, the opponent... was the Emperor!

A high-level genetic warrior, the top contender for this year's Sunset City 18 and under New Star Competition, with no one else even close.

Not to mention the students, even the three senior instructors might not be his match.

This was a big problem!

"Sigh, this child, how could he do this! He's really not giving anyone face." Teng Lan shook his head, his gaze turning to Lei Gang, and he said seriously, "Sorry, Brother Lei, I'll call Huang Shang down to apologize. What do you think?"

"Stop pretending." Lei Gang didn't even look at Teng Lan, suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice, "You have guts."

"I'll get my revenge here today!"

Teng Lan's lips curled in a cold smile, a fake smile, "If Brother Lei could reveal some information about Long Qin, perhaps... the Combat Academy wouldn't just save face today, but might even gain a good omen?"

"Get lost!" Lei Gang shouted coldly.

He should have guessed that Blue Wolf wouldn't come without a reason.

Clearly, he was well-prepared!

At this moment—

"I'll go!" Jin Haochen leaped onto the stage, his fighting spirit fierce.

"You?" Huang Shang smiled, a hint of indifference in his eyes. "Go down, dealing with you won't take me more than five seconds."

Five seconds!?

Everyone was stunned.

Even if Jin Haochen wasn't at his best, he was still a mid-level genetic warrior. In the previous final, Ge Yi couldn't even injure him. How powerful was the Nickel Domain! But now... this Huang Shang was so boastful!

Too arrogant, right?

...

"Five seconds, huh." Lin Feng looked at the combat arena, feeling uncomfortable.

No matter what, this was his academy. Although he hadn't been at the Combat Academy for long, he still felt a sense of belonging.

"Damn!" Guo Li's face turned red with anger.

Lin Feng looked around, and almost all the students felt the same way.

At this moment, Jin Haochen, unwilling to back down, instantly activated the Nickel Domain and attacked Huang Shang.

However—

"Cadmium Net." Huang Shang's eyes flashed, and a grid of electricity appeared in front of him. Lightning, like snakes, crisscrossed, emitting a dazzling light, rapidly expanding and stretching. It clashed with the Nickel Domain, a direct confrontation of elemental energy, and Jin Haochen was immediately suppressed.

"The gap is too big." Lin Feng could already see the result.

In the direct clash of elemental energy, the gap between Jin Haochen and his opponent was not just a little.

His Nickel Domain couldn't even unleash its power.

In a short time, the cadmium grid extended from two meters to ten meters. Huang Shang's lips curled into a cold smirk, and he clapped his hands. Instantly, the flat cadmium grid seemed to be bent by a powerful force, converging from both sides. The terrifying electric energy, like electric snakes, extended infinitely and converged.

Jin Haochen was like a bird in a cage!

"Boom!" Jin Haochen jumped in a panic, trying to escape the cadmium net's control.

"Lost." Lin Feng's brows furrowed.

In an instant, electric energy came from all directions, like a shackle, directly binding Jin Haochen. In the air, the terrifying electric energy, like electric snakes, bit into Jin Haochen. His genetic battle armor shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body convulsing violently.

Boom! Jin Haochen fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

...

Silence.

Five seconds?

No, just three seconds.

Jin Haochen was utterly defeated, unable to even get close to Huang Shang. The gap in strength was too great.

Huang Shang, with his arms crossed, walked to Jin Haochen with a mocking smile, kicked him out of the combat arena, and said, "Treat him quickly, or... don't blame me if he has any aftereffects." Then, he turned and returned to the center of the combat arena, his gaze sweeping over the audience. "Next."

"I'll go!" a voice roared.

"Senior Brother Hong Lei!"

"It's Senior Brother Hong Lei from Zone S!"

"Defeat him!"

...

Zone S had a total of nine people.

Four at the fourth-star level, three at the fifth-star level, and two at the sixth-star level.

The Senior Brother Hong Lei everyone was talking about was at the fifth-star level, but he was four years older than Huang Shang. But who cared now?

There was nothing to care about.

Because, like Jin Haochen, Hong Lei couldn't break through Huang Shang's terrifying electric cage, the powerful elemental martial art 'Cadmium Net.'

Another defeat!

...

The third.

The fourth.

The Combat Academy, with combat as its core.

Despite knowing they couldn't win, they didn't back down. Unfortunately, reality was cruel. Huang Shang's strength was not just a little bit greater. He defeated the four strongest from Zone S, and none of them could even get close to him. His arrogant and arrogant smile was like that of a true emperor—

Looking down on all!

Over a thousand students, their faces ashen, looked extremely bad.

Being bullied and stepped on, especially in their own home, was a great humiliation!

Lei Gang suppressed his anger, wanting to tear Huang Shang to pieces, but he could do nothing at the moment. Behind him, Dean Xia Shan and Yue Meng were also red-faced with anger. If they let Huang Shang leave today, the Combat Academy would truly lose all its dignity.

But what could they do?

Nothing.

"Nobody else?" Huang Shang's smile was mocking and sarcastic, his palms facing up, taunting the students in the audience.

"Damn, I can't stand it!" Guo Li gritted his teeth, his eyes cold, and was about to stand up.

Slap! A heavy hand landed on his shoulder.

"I'll go." A calm voice sounded.
