they proceeded as per normal.

when he met a suitable monster, he would pull sen po out to practice and train his ‘courage’.

although it was useless.

but at least it helped bai wushang and increased his compatibility a little. it was better than nothing.

in the morning two days later, the green ancient city lying on the ground came into view, giving him a sense of familiarity.

bai wushang was filled with emotions.

he was back.

he had returned alive.

looking around, the outside of shanhai city was bustling with merchants, an endless stream of them.

however, the number of students had suddenly decreased significantly, and no one knew where they went.

relying on the rapid advancement of his soul power, bai wushang could vaguely sense that there were many powerful auras lying dormant in the dark.

there were humans and beasts.

several hidden gazes had already gathered on him, either examining or warning him.

” it seems like after the incident with the absolute beginning evil spirit and the royal family, the academy’s defense system has been upgraded. it’s understandable … ”

as he thought, bai wushang gradually approached the city gate.

“stop, who is this?”

the guards of the city were still made of iron.

at least on the surface, he had the power to hold the pass by himself and not let the evildoers have the slightest opportunity.

bai wushang was calm and composed. first, he reined in his horse and jumped to the ground.

he then took out a crimson scroll from his storage ring and handed it over to the stocky middle-aged man.

“uncle tie, long time no see. this is my identity.”

“identity han? what the hell is that?”

tie zhu didn’t take it immediately, his eyes as sharp as an eagle’s.

he stared at bai wushang with a suspicious look.

“kid, your soul power rank is quite high. you’re infinitely close to an earth master, right?”

“but be it students or teachers, i have never heard of someone like you in shanhai city.”

“grey hair, skin as tender as a woman’s …”

“and why are you wearing a mask? he doesn’t look like a good person no matter how i look at him …”

the corners of bai wushang’s mouth twitched, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

seeing that no one was around, he took off his mask.

“uncle tie, do you recognize me?”

” hiss … ” the middle-aged man took a closer look and exaggeratedly gasped, ” “what a handsome young man!”

then, he changed the topic.

he cupped his chin and said, ”

“but i don’t know you. who are you?”

bai wushang sighed.

as expected.

his face seemed to have undergone minute changes in various parts.

but overall, it was an increase from 60 points to 95 points, which was difficult for mu xiaoxiao to identify.

this face-blind old city guard …

how could he expect him to recognize him?

forget it, forget it, it’s impossible.

thinking of this, bai wushang advised, ”

“uncle tie, i’m bai wushang.”

” he’s the one who was infected with the death of evil spirits half a year ago and was taken away by the red dragon emperor. ”

” i don’t have any academy badge or watch to prove my identity. even my appearance has changed greatly. ”

” so you’d better inject a bit of soul power into this scroll. there’s an identity han given to me by the red dragon emperor in it. it can definitely prove my identity. ”

” huh?! ” tie zhu’s expression suddenly froze, and his broad, scabbard-like palm grabbed the crimson scroll.

after a few seconds, he slowly widened his eyes and looked at bai wushang from left to right. he then burst out with a curse, ”

“f * ck, you’re a living person? or a corpse swap?”

“you really survived? this is amazing! the waves behind push the waves in front …”

“and what kind of elixir did you eat? how did your soul power increase so much? there won’t be any side effects, right?”

……

in the face of the middle-aged man’s loud and clear voice.

in addition, there were endless questions like shrews cursing in the street.

bai wushang grinned.

he couldn’t just explain the reason to every person he met.

even from the moment he left for the academy, he was mentally prepared to be the center of attention.

but when faced with reality, bai wushang was still helpless.

the first of the top ten of the mountain and sea, wind-chasing arrow, yu liang.

among the students and even the instructors, perhaps he was an existence that everyone knew about.

it could be extended to all staff, logistics personnel, and researchers.

there were still too many people in the huge mountain and sea city who did not know the name yu liang.

bai wushang was different.

although it wasn’t because of him, it was because of the absolute beginning evil spirit.

as a result, the entire city was sealed off, suppressed by the heavenly dragon guards, and every inch of land was personally swept by the red dragon emperor, who investigated everyone.

however, bai wushang, who was infected by the evil curse, the king of gluttony, had a large amount of origin power left in his body, and could possibly be the reincarnation of an evil spirit.

his name had already spread throughout the entire mountain sea, and even more than half of the endless sand region. everyone knew him.

moreover, it was likely that it was not a good reputation. they were either full of wariness or malicious speculations.

these were all the mess left behind by the gem secret realm, and they were all given to him.

fortunately, the red dragon emperor had provided him with an identity han to clear his name.

he was certain that everything was normal and that he didn’t need to worry about evil spirits.

otherwise, it would be inconvenient for bai wushang to go anywhere, and he would easily become a street rat, hated by everyone.

after a round of idle chit-chat, they were allowed to pass.

bai wushang entered shanhai city.

he had only taken a few steps on his red horse when he suddenly heard the middle-aged man behind him shout, ”

“handsome young man, go to the golden arena. there’s a match waiting for you there!”

“golden arena? a competition?”

bai wushang’s brows twitched. why did these words sound so familiar?

that’s right, because of song jie and the purple lightning dragon condor, he did not make it to the first year’s thorn competition.

uncle cast iron seemed to have used a similar tone to remind him.

it couldn’t be such a coincidence that it was a new round of elimination now, right?

bai wushang flapped his insect wings and flew into the air, looking at the street.

there was basically no one around, it was desolate and extremely bleak.

hence, he quickly followed the memory and found the golden arena.

this was the academy’s largest and most luxurious battle area, and it was rarely open to use.

now that it could be used, it was obvious that it was a very important competition.

however, when bai wushang arrived at the golden arena, he was surprised to find that there was a certain deviation in his thinking.

it was filled with people.

from the students to the instructors, there were only two thousand of them.

however, there were banners, lights, food carts, and low-power telescopes everywhere … it was very lively.

everyone’s style of dress was no longer that of a student or a fighter.

they were generally in pursuit of personality, handsomeness, magnificence, and beauty.

bai wushang stood on the highest level of the grandstand and looked down.

a circular arena of more than 100000 square meters was divided into ten equal parts like a cake.

in the center, there were ten figures standing in a disorderly manner.

some were calm like water, some were mighty without anger, and some had a smile on their faces.

there was a handsome man in a refined robe, who was elegant and gentle;

there was a graceful woman in a golden dress with a golden face and red lips;

there was a plain-faced woman in cotton clothes with a plum blossom on her forehead;

there was an ice-cold beauty with a purple blade on her back;

there were strong men who were as tough as steel plates;

there was a handsome man with short black hair and eyes that shone with starlight;

there were handsome beach men who laughed and smiled brightly;

some of them had purple hair and were wearing revealing clothes.

there was a cold man in shiny silver armor with a huge sword on his back;

there was also a puppet with a dull expression and metallic skin!

“ten heroes! top ten! the top ten!”

“the mountains and seas! the mountains and seas! the mountain sea!”

it was like a landslide, a tsunami, or a thunderbolt.

the uniform shouts came rolling in and resounded in the sky above the open arena, shaking people’s hearts and making their blood boil.

bai wushang suddenly understood.

so this wasn’t the freshmen elimination tournament.

this was the competition of the top ten, the battle of glory to determine the ranking of the top ten!
