360: So...are you ready?

Outside a vast and high sky battlefield, there was a ring of floating rock formations, like the rings of Saturn, connected end to end.

The teachers and students of Kunlun Academy were scattered across the rock ring, looking at the sky battlefield in the center with anticipation.

On the largest floating giant rock, Cao Xi, Professor had arrived early.

He was dressed in a flowing Daoist robe, sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a peach wood sword that pulsed with lightning stuck in front of him. Combined with his refined face, he exuded an aura of an immortal.

"Professor Cao is so handsome!"

A student exclaimed, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Senior, is Professor Cao really that powerful?" A new student asked.

"Nonsense! Of course, he's powerful! He's a peerless figure rarely seen in Kunlun Academy in a hundred years!" The senior boasted, not sparing any praise, "I was fortunate enough to see Professor Cao make a move once. That was three years ago, and he ended a Vicious Beast tide led by an eighth-tier lord in the Abyss Secret Realm with just one strike…"

"Hiss…!"

"So, Professor Cao is sure to win?!"

"You can't say that. You all saw yesterday's video. That young professor from Shenwu Academy easily suppressed Bai Mo. His strength is simply unbelievable. I guarantee he will be Professor Cao's formidable opponent!"

"Yes, Shenwu Academy's foundation should not be underestimated. Moreover, he is the leader of this National War, so he must be terrifyingly strong."

"This battle will be worth watching."

"Ahhh!!! I can't wait! Why hasn't it started yet!!!"

The students were impatient, and many had even prepared high-definition recording equipment, intending to thoroughly document today's world-shaking battle.

Li Nanyin, Chen Xi, Crimson Heaven, and other Prodigies from Kunlun Academy stood together, eagerly awaiting.

Not far away stood Liu Cheng and An Tianzong.

Qin Longyao stood in front of students like Qin Nansun and Xia Qinghou.

Four shield-type mentors stood in four directions, responsible for defense and ensuring the safety of the teachers and students.

"They're here! They're here!"

Someone shouted.

Everyone turned to look.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Several beams of light descended from the sky, teleporting them into the Secret Realm from the outside.

"It's so lively," said the white-haired girl with a red mark on her brow and wearing purple clothes, sitting on a giant gourd.

"Isn't it good to be lively?" The tall and handsome young man laughed, waving to his surroundings, appearing warm and familiar.

"I heard that Kunlun Academy's student enrollment is 1.5 times ours at Shenwu Academy. It's true, there are too many people," Yan Runan sighed, "There must be over ten thousand people here, right?"

"Many but not refined. Those who have reached Fifth-tier Martial Artist are few and far between," Lin Qingyan said coldly, being economical with her words.

Looking at the five people who appeared on the rock ring, all the teachers and students of Kunlun Academy present fell silent, completely different from the noisy whispers just now.

Except for Chen Xi, Qin Nansun, and others who had seen the five.

Most people were seeing these 'distinguished guests' from Shenwu Academy for the first time.

For a moment, they were awestruck by the five people's appearance and aura.

Two men and three women, wearing uniforms with the Shenwu Academy emblem, each of them exquisitely beautiful and exceptionally charismatic.

The three women each had their own unique charm but were all incredibly stunning, especially the cold black-haired, ice-eyed girl, who was almost like an immortal, so beautiful that all the male students of Kunlun Academy held their breath for a moment, not daring to speak, fearing to disturb a heavenly being.

Not only the male students, but the female students present also had their brains freeze for a moment, their eyes dazed, looking at the two men among the five.

"So handsome…" A female student murmured, completely unaware that the snacks she had prepared had fallen.

Xia Qinghou sighed softly. He was considered a handsome man famous throughout the academy, but in terms of looks, he couldn't compare to Sikong, who was on par with Chen Xi, let alone the person standing in the middle of the five.

Today, he had shed the simple attire he wore on his first day at Kunlun Academy, changing into a professor's uniform custom-made by Shenwu Academy, primarily black with gold accents, using Demonic Beast hides of seventh-tier and above as Materials. Over it, he wore a wide, hooded long robe with sleeves that hung down, their edges showing Void annihilation, as if he was wrapped in a darkness that could absorb light.

Besides the change in attire, he also removed his black-rimmed glasses, revealing his unmasked handsome true appearance, golden-red heterochromia, and a demonic mole under his eye, which seemed to have a magical power, attracting everyone's gaze.

"I'm not late, am I?"

A smile played on his lips, calm and languid, clearly becoming the sole center of this Secret Realm.

Even someone as proud as Xia Qinghou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

How could this guy be so handsome?!

"This is his true appearance…"

Li Nanyin's eyes shimmered with a brilliant light as she looked at Jiang Yuan.

Cao Xi, Professor opened his eyes, looking at the young man on the distant rock ring, and smiled, "You are the first one to make me wait this long. If you didn't come soon, I would have gone to find you."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Isn't this giving you time to rest and gather strength?"

Before everyone could react.

He had already appeared out of thin air on the nearest floating giant rock behind Cao Xi, Professor, his toes lightly touching the ground, his sleeves fluttering.

Jiang Yuan glanced sideways at Cao Xi, Professor,

"So… are you ready?"

So fast!

How could he be so fast?!

Chen Xi, Crimson Heaven, and others were all shocked by this scene.

They didn't even sense any spatial fluctuations; this was pure speed!

It was completely undetectable!!

Not only were they shocked, but all the professors and mentors present also felt a tremor in their hearts. With their eyes as veteran Grandmasters, they couldn't even keep up with his speed!

Could it be that what he displayed against Bai Mo earlier was not his full strength?!

"I knew today would be a tough battle."

Cao Xi, Professor sighed, then his eyes flashed with sharp light.

"Come on!"
