Xiao Long didn't even lift his head as he said indifferently, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

  Xuanyuan Mingyue chuckled softly and sighed leisurely, "The world says you have a penchant for sughter, leaving corpses in your wake and rivers of blood, but I don't see it that way."

  "If you were bloodthirsty, why spare ordinary people and only target martial artists? If you were bloodthirsty, why bypass Fire Cloud City and spare small vilges? If you were bloodthirsty, why demand people from City Lord Luo Tiangang before attacking Beast City, instead of just charging in?"

  Xuanyuan Mingyue's beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Long, revealing a sly smile.

  "Do you think I'm right, Lord Xiao?"

  Xiao Long raised an eyebrow, surprised at how much she knew.

  "So what if I am, and so what if I'm not?"

  Xiao Long still kept his eyes closed and said indifferently, "As long as you don't provoke me, you're free to sit wherever you like. Just remember to keep a ten-step distance."

  Xuanyuan Mingyue was slightly taken aback.

  In all these years, it was the first time someone wanted to keep their distance from her.

  But she quickly came to terms with it, a charming curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.

  "Alright, no problem." She sat cross-legged ten steps away from Xiao Long.

  This scene immediately caused an uproar.

  "My heavens! Fairy Mingyue actually initiated a conversation! And was asked to keep her distance!"

  "That Lord Xiao only knows how to kill, what feelings could he possibly have?"

  "What a pity! For Miss Mingyue to encounter such a person!"

  Everyone shook their heads in regret, feeling it was not worth it for Xuanyuan Mingyue.

  "Brother Xiao, that woman has a thing for you!" Xiao Bai pouted, her voice full of jealousy.

  "Haha! She just met me once, how could she be interested?" Xiao Long shook his head with a smile.

  "Hmph! She definitely has a thing for you." Xiao Bai snorted, ignoring everything else, and started biting Xiao Long's ear pyfully.

  "Stop! Stop! Spare me, my dy!" Xiao Long quickly pleaded for mercy.

  On the other side, Wang Ming'ao, unable to bear the loneliness, walked over to Xuanyuan Mingyue with a smile.

  "Miss Mingyue, long time no see! How have you been tely?"

  Before he could finish, he felt a sharp sword light shooting towards him.

  Cng!

  A deep sword mark was carved into the ground, just an inch in front of Wang Ming'ao's foot. The terrifying sword intent emanating from the mark cut a few strands of his hair, making him break out in a cold sweat.

  "Scram!" Xuanyuan Mingyue said coldly without even turning her head.

  "Sigh!" Wang Ming'ao spped his forehead, shook his head, and sat down quietly to wait.

  Time passed, and a few more young Innate Experts arrived, all of whom had been hiding in Tianfeng Kingdom until the academy's recruitment.

  Xiao Long's spiritual sense swept over them briefly; besides him, Wang Ming'ao, and Xuanyuan Mingyue, there were nine Innate Experts in total. One was at the te stage of Innate Martial Master, while the other eight were at the early and mid-stages.

  As for the Qi Condensing Realm, they were densely packed, numbering over three hundred.

  "Hmm?" In Xiao Long's spiritual sense, he found a familiar face.

  It was none other than Little Poison King Gu Sha, whom he had met in Fire Cloud City.

  Back then, Gu Sha had left first, avoiding a disaster. It had only been half a year, and he had reached the half-step Innate level, likely due to some fortuitous encounter.

  Gu Sha was hiding at the back of the crowd, occasionally sneaking gnces at Xiao Long, his body trembling slightly.

  Xiao Long couldn't be bothered with him; such an ant posed no threat.

  At this moment, two more experts arrived. Even before they got close, a terrifying pressure made everyone shiver in fear.

  "That's the Third Prince, and... the Crown Prince!" someone recognized the two.

  Two men in yellow dragon robes approached through the air. The one in front was a tall and burly man with a fierce gaze, exuding an aura of dominance that made him seem like the master of the sky.

  This was the Crown Prince, Ying Tian.

  The Third Prince, Ying Si, stood behind him, occasionally casting venomous gnces at Xiao Long in the distance.

  "Hmph! Ignorant ant!"

  Ying Tian gnced at Xiao Long, snorted coldly, and stood on the testing ptform.

  "Ying Tian, twenty-nine years old, mid-stage Innate Martial Lord, minor achievement in bde intent, three-star talent."

  People gasped in amazement, another three-star talent!

  The chubby old man also showed a hint of a proud smile.

  "Haha, who would have thought Tianfeng Kingdom would produce two three-star talents? I must boast about this when I return."

  At this moment, Ying Si also took the test.

  "Ying Si, twenty-two years old, mid-stage Innate Martial Master, one-star talent."

  After the tests, the two walked straight towards Xiao Long.

  Everyone quieted down, watching the scene unfold.

  Were they here to settle a score?

  The Crown Prince Ying Tian stood before Xiao Long, his gaze cold as he said, "Are you the one who killed my second brother and injured my third brother in the Capital?"

  Ying Tian's tone was icy, looking down at Xiao Long with a domineering aura.

  "I know you can control myriad demons, but this is the Capital. If I crush you here, those demon beasts won't save you in time."

  "As for the beast tide's revenge, by then, I'll be at Tianshen Academy, safe and sound. Even if the beast tide razes Tianfeng Kingdom, I won't be affected."

  With that, Ying Tian's gaze turned cold, pointing at Xiao Long.

  "You! Are not qualified to fight me!"

  Everyone gasped in shock.

  Could it be that Ying Tian, disregarding the safety of Tianfeng Kingdom's people, still wanted to kill Xiao Long?

  Ying Si wore a smug smile, ready to watch the show unfold.

  Xuanyuan Mingyue opened her eyes, watching with interest. She was curious about how Lord Xiao would respond.

  However, Xiao Long didn't even lift his eyelids, calmly saying:

  "Leave within three breaths!"

  At these words, everyone was even more shocked, unable to utter a single word.

  Xuanyuan Mingyue also looked surprised.

  Among Innate Experts, each level was worlds apart. Even the most talented found it hard to fight across levels.

  Ying Tian, mid-stage Innate Martial Lord, and Xiao Long, only early-stage Innate Martial Master, were four levels apart. How could he possibly stand a chance?

  Ying Tian was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting such words from him.

  "Are you telling me to leave?" Ying Tian pointed at himself, his anger rising.

  "One breath!" Xiao Long didn't answer him, speaking calmly.

  "You're courting death!"

  Ying Tian erupted in fury, his terrifying imperial pressure sweeping across the scene, forcing countless people to the ground, pale-faced and gasping for air.

  "This is the royal family's Earth-level lower-grade technique, the Imperial Scripture!"

  "Ying Tian actually mastered the Imperial Scripture!" people excimed in shock.

  Earth-level techniques were legendary in Tianfeng Kingdom! The Imperial Scripture was extremely difficult to cultivate, yet Ying Tian had mastered it!
