Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 691 - Academy Shaken

“Eighth Junior Brother, the Demon Hunting Competition is in half a year. Get ready. Making it into the top ten won’t be easy, and you also have to keep an eye out for those Law Enforcement Hall bastards’ schemes. Given their vengeful personality, they’ll make a move against you,” Jian Qi said, patting Chen Fan’s shoulder.

“Eighth Junior Brother, I feel optimistic about you. You can do it!” Yan Weiyi also showed a rare smile.

Di Chen waved his hand and said, “Alright, get back to cultivating, all of you. Chen Fan, you should seize the time to raise your level. There are many powerful demons in the Little Demon Realm. Not only do you have to guard against the demons, but you also have to be on guard against those from the other peaks. The stronger you are, the safer you will be.”

Chen Fan nodded and said seriously, “Rest assured, senior brothers and sister. I won’t disappoint you. I’ll rank within the top ten and bring glory to our Peerless Peak!”

“Very good. Our Peerless Peak doesn’t have a fixed place for cultivating. There’s plenty of space but few people, so just find your place to train,” Di Chen said.

“Then I will go cultivate now,” Chen Fan said before heading off. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The thought of the Demon Hunting Competition in six months weighed heavily on him. Despite being the only one participating from their peak, he had to secure a spot in the top ten. Achieving that would be no easy feat. How many demons would he have to kill to make it?

And the Law Enforcement Hall also wouldn’t let go of this opportunity to deal with him.

He needed to raise his cultivation as much as possible in half a year, best if he could enter the Heavenly Star realm.

After Chen Fan left, Di Chen and the others exchanged glances before breaking into laughter.

Jian Qi laughed and said, “Second Senior Brother, aren’t we being too mean? You ranked in the twenties or thirties when you competed in the Demon Hunting Competition. Just by taking the eleventh place First Senior Brother created history for our Peerless Peak. Yet, we’re telling Chen Fan to break into the top ten? Isn’t that asking too much?”

Yan Weiyi rubbed his nose, looking sheepish. “I do think we might’ve set the bar a bit high...”

Di Chen laughed, “It's fine. Pressure creates motivation. Consider it a test of Chen Fan’s strength. We should have faith in him. Who knows, he might even break First Senior Brother’s record."

“This...” Jian Qi looked doubtful. “First Senior Brother is a genius favored by the heavens.”

“Seventh Junior Brother, you can’t think like that,” Di Chen said, his smile fading. “First Senior Brother might be a heavenly genius, but he should be someone you aim to surpass.”

Jian Qi shook his head helplessly and said, “Forget it, I’d better surpass Sixth Senior Brother first.”

......

That same day, the story of Chen Fan killing Law Enforcement Hall disciples outside True Martial City spread like wildfire.

People soon learned that even more Law Enforcement Hall personnel had gone to Peerless Peak to arrest Chen Fan. They failed, and their Manifestation realm executive had his arm severed. Even an elder was embarrassed and returned without success.

In a flash, Chen Fan and the Peerless Peak became the talk of the town amongst the rookies.

“This Chen Fan guy is really bold. He killed Law Enforcement Hall’s people right outside True Martial City. He’s simply out of control.”

“Hehe, he has the strength. Even the Heavenly Star realm Kang Hong couldn’t take him down. You can imagine how terrifying Chen Fan’s strength is. He’s truly the ‘Killing God’ who carved a bloody path on the Gen Road. No matter where he goes, blood follows—even at True Martial City.”

“Still, the tallest tree catches the wind. Those who are too rigid often break. If you ask me, Chen Fan’s in for some serious trouble soon.”

“Oh, right, do you guys know what’s going on with the Peerless Peak? Even the Law Enforcement Hall was embarrassed. This is too unbelievable.”

“I know. Despite being so small—rumor has it there aren’t even ten members—it stands out among the various groups in the academy. You guys better not underestimate them. As its name suggests, everyone there is a monster. They’re invincible at their cultivation level,” said someone who had clearly done their research.

He continued, “To put it bluntly, it’s nearly impossible for ordinary people to join the Peerless Peak. Why? Because their Peak Master personally selects his disciples. Only monstrous geniuses make the cut. Even if you are a genius, there’s no guarantee you’ll impress them.

“Look at the First Dragon Lord, the First Fiend, and the others. Monster-class geniuses, right? Yet, only Chen Fan became a disciple of the Peerless Peak. That tells you just how high the standards are for admission.

“All their members can fight two or three realms above their cultivation level. Although the First Dragon Lord and the others aren’t bad, can they do that? No, they can’t! That’s the difference between them and Chen Fan!”

Hiss!

A chorus of gasps echoed among the rookie disciples as they absorbed this information.

Finally, they had a rough understanding of the true nature of the monsters from the Peerless Peak. No wonder they were called the Peerless Peak.

“I see. No wonder even the Law Enforcement Hall was embarrassed and returned resentfully. I heard that even the peak Manifestation realm Elder Xiao had made an appearance, but was told to get lost by the Peerless Peak. They truly are tyrannical and domineering, showing no respect to the Law Enforcement Hall.”

“This isn’t much! You guys probably don’t even know that!”

“Know what?”

“Fifty years ago, the Law Enforcement Hall’s people went there to arrest Jian Qi. They had to mobilize their third elder, a Lesser Legendary realm peak expert, to bring Jian Qi into custody...”

“Then why didn’t a Lesser Legendary realm peak expert take action this time?”

“Tch! Let me finish!” said the informed rookie. “Jian Qi was brought back to the Law Enforcement Hall, and he was about to be punished... Suddenly, the Peerless Peak’s eldest senior brother, Huang Wudi, barged in and killed that Lesser Legendary realm elder. Right there, on the spot. And he was only in the Manifestation realm cultivation then. The news shook the whole of the True Martial Academy.

“Afterward, Elder Tian Xing declared he would punish Huang Wudi, but guess what happened next? He got a visit from the Peerless Peak’s peak master, Zhang Daoling. Since then, the entire Law Enforcement Hall hadn’t mentioned that punishment once.”

“The Peerless Peak earned their fierce reputation with blood. There’s a song among the academy’s disciples: it’s better to mess with the Law Enforcement Hall than with the Peerless Peak. This time, the Law Enforcement Hall is in the wrong. If they really mobilized a Lesser Legendary realm, then you tell me, what would have happened when Huang Wudi returned?”

Hiss, hiss!

The rookie disciples gasped, their souls nearly evaporating from the shock of such hidden truths. They had never realized just how powerful and terrifying the Peerless Peak truly was!

The thought that a peak Manifestation realm martial artist like Huang Wudi could kill a Lesser Legendary realm expert was mind-boggling!

What did it mean to be a Legendary realm expert? They were fabled existences that stood at the peak of the Tianwu Continent.

Yet, here was one such expert being slain by someone of a lower realm. It was simply heaven-defying!

The crowd could almost envision that unmatched scene, their blood racing at the thought of such an incredible display of power.
