Chapter 318: Mu Liufeng!

Everyone turned towards the voice, which belonged to Lin Dong, a reserve member of the sword team.

"

Oh?

Has it already started?"

Gu Tengfeng asked nonchalantly while raising an eyebrow. "So, how's it going?"

"It's terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! The new recruit for the Central Court sword team this year..." Lin Dong was panting heavily, visibly shaken. "That newcomer is simply monstrous!"

"

Oh?

It must be Mu Liufeng, right?" Gu Tengfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness as he spoke slowly.

"Yes, the new member of the Central Court sword team this year is indeed Mu Liufeng!" Lin Dong clutched a nearby table for support, taking several deep breaths to steady himself.

"Mu Liufeng? Who's that?" Ouyang Jing asked with a frown. "Is he really that impressive? More so than Big Brother?"

"Never even heard of him!" Zhou Kai added with a dismissive snort.

"Exactly. Could he really be more monstrous than Ling Feng?" Qin Wanwan couldn't help but laugh as she muttered.

"Mu Liufeng, the best rookie among last year's yellow-tier students, was selected as the foremost among the top ten hidden talents upon entering the academy. After six months of secret training, he returned to create an unbeaten legend, consecutively defeating one hundred sky-tier students with over fifty meridian gates. The academy has recognized him as the Invincible War God!" Gu Tengfeng said solemnly.

"It's worth mentioning that I once challenged the Hundred Battles Ranking, winning eighty-eight consecutive matches before tasting defeat!" Gu Tengfeng continued, his face serious.

"He's... that powerful?"

Ouyang Jing's eyes widened in disbelief. "Boss Gu, are you saying that that guy is stronger than you?"

"Not necessarily stronger, but he's more capable of enduring prolonged battles," Gu Tengfeng replied slowly. "The rules of the Hundred Battles Ranking require continuous fighting with no breaks in between. A single challenge can last three days and nights, or even ten days and nights!"

"

Gulp...

"

The sound of several people swallowing hard filled the air.

The yellow-tier novices who had come to the training ground to watch because of Ling Feng were all stunned.

They couldn't believe there was someone as terrifying as Mu Liufeng besides Ling Feng!

"Mu Liufeng was definitely a nightmare for last year's students," Ye Nanfeng said with a bitter smile, shaking his head. "I was a student from the same cohort as him a year ago. We once faced each other in the Five Courts Competition. Guess how many moves I lasted against him?"

"How many moves?" Ouyang Jing and the others all turned their eyes to Ye Nanfeng.

"

Hehe,

in his presence, I..." Ye Nanfeng's voice was filled with bitterness. "I didn't even dare step onto the stage to fight!"

"No way, you didn't even have the courage to get on the stage? Senior Brother Ye Nanfeng, how cowardly can you be?" Feng Mo looked at him with disdain.

"Cowardly?" Ye Nanfeng furrowed his brow and then smiled bitterly. "Fine, think of me as a coward if you want."

"No, it's not that Ye Nanfeng is weak; it's that Mu Liufeng is too strong!" Gu Tengfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his face as calm as water. "It's no surprise that Mu Liufeng joined the Central Court Sword Team."

He turned his gaze to Lin Dong and asked in a serious tone, "Lin Dong, how are the teams composed? The main members of the Central Court haven't taken the field, have they?"

"No... no, they haven't." Lin Dong swallowed hard. "Aside from Mu Liufeng, none of the main members of the Central Court have gone on stage."

"One... one against five?"

Instantly, the entire crowd was filled with looks of shock and astonishment.

Li Bufan was particularly stunned, nearly jumping out of his seat.

He had once fantasized about fighting five opponents at once, but reality had taught him humility.

Facing the North Court's second team alone, if Mu Liufeng could win, wouldn't it mean he was far stronger than anyone imagined?

"Impossible!" Gu Tengfeng's face changed dramatically. "Even if he's incredibly strong, without defense and cooperation, can he really stand a chance against the North Court's second team?"

"Captain, although both sides are still in a deadlock, the tide... seems to be turning in favor of the Central Court Sword Team..."

"What...?"

Everyone was once again shocked. Even Ling Feng began to feel a bit unsettled.

𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Could the members of the Central Court Sword Team really be this formidable?

Yang Zhan, the captain of the North Court's second team, was no pushover. Even when coupled with their team coordination, they were actually being suppressed by a single person?

This was beyond astonishing!

"Let's go check it out!"

Gu Tengfeng could no longer sit still. He took the lead, rushing out of the training ground and heading straight for the Central Court duel arena.

"We're coming too!"

The other team members quickly followed. Li Bufan clenched his fists, remaining silent, but it was clear that his pride had been deeply wounded once again.

"Hey, why are you running so fast? Wait for me!"

Qin Wanwan also started running, chasing after Ling Feng.

The rest of the onlookers, snapping out of their shock, immediately followed suit.

...

Not soon after, the members of East Court's sword team, along with seven or eight rookie yellow-tier students, marched towards the sword-fighting arena in Central Court.

As the dominant faction among the courts, the Central Court's arena was more majestic, more expansive, and imbued with an even grander aura than East Court's!

"Mu Liufeng! Mu Liufeng!"

As soon as he entered, Ling Feng felt a huge wave of air rushing towards him.

The entire arena seemed to be in a state of boiling excitement, as if all the spectators had been ignited by a single name.

Mu Liufeng!

The shouts echoed throughout the space, making everyone's scalp tingle.

"Such high popularity!"

Ouyang Jing couldn't help but mutter. This scene seemed even more fervent than the last match between East Court's sword team and the second team of North Court!

Gu Tengfeng said nothing, found a seat, and sat down. His eyes were fixed on the sword fighting platform.

One Against Five!

Indeed, it was one against five!

All five members of the second team from North Court were fighting with bloodshot eyes. Even the flag keeper, who usually never left the flag-guarding area, had rushed into the offensive-defensive zone, tightly surrounding the solitary and proud figure in the center.

His demeanor was very similar to Li Bufan's, but his aura was utterly overwhelming and far surpassed Li Bufan's!

Standing proudly on the sword fighting platform, the young man exuded an aura as if he alone dominated heaven and earth, compelling reverence and worship.

"Even... even Nie Yuanzhou has joined!"

What surprised Gu Tengfeng even more was that this time, the second team from North Court had brought out their strongest lineup. Besides their captain, Yang Zhan, their swiftest swordsman, Nie Yuanzhou, was also present.

And yet, this formidable lineup was being subdued by Mu Liufeng alone.

The entire battlefield seemed to be under his control.

"So powerful!"

Ling Feng felt his blood ignite at that moment.

It was five against one. In theory, as long as someone could entangle Mu Liufeng, they could easily break through the flag-guarding area and score a hit without the flag keeper present.

However, in reality, all five members of North Court's second team were surrounding Mu Liufeng while defending desperately, worried that he might break through.

In their eyes, there was even a hint of—

Fear!
