High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Meanwhile, at the Nanjiang Garrison Commander's Office.

Lu Zhengbei, the garrison commander of Nanjiang Province, sat behind the table.

His office was twice the size of Shen Qingshan's office in Anning City.

A map of the entire defense zone of Nanjiang Province hangs on the back wall, marking hundreds of areas where alien beasts gather and the defense systems of major base cities in Nanjiang Province. The desk is made of a single piece of ironwood.

Lu Zhengbei is fifty-six years old this year, at the peak of the fifth rank. He has been stationed in Nanjiang Province for twenty years, fighting his way up from the fourth rank to the peak of the fifth rank, and has killed no less than ten thousand strange beasts.

He is looking at a newly delivered encrypted file.

Document Number: Great Xia Council Order No. 0039

Content: Granting Song Chen, a student of Tianhai University, the status of Honorary Councilor of Daxia, with powers equivalent to that of a formal councilor, and automatically becoming a formal councilor after reaching the sixth rank.

Attachment: Summary of Song Chen's individual achievements.

Lu Zhengbei carefully read through the attachment, his expression shifting from doubt to confirmation.

"The new generation surpasses the old."

The adjutant stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.

He was Lu Zhengbei's old subordinate, having followed him for fifteen years, from the third rank to the peak of the fourth rank.

He had never seen Lu Zhengbei express such sentiments after reading a document.

Lu Zhengbei put down his teacup.

"This genius seems to be from Nanjiang Province."

The adjutant nodded: "Yes, Song Chen is from Anning City."

"Anning City," Lu Zhengbei repeated the name.

As the garrison commander of Nanjiang Province, he visited Anning City no more than five times, and now an eighteen-year-old honorary councilor has emerged from there.

"The information says Song Chen just finished fighting in Anning. Is he still there?"

"If you're there, make arrangements so I can go and pay you a visit."

The adjutant immediately retrieved the information.

"The flight path records of the parliament's exclusive spacecraft show that Song Chen's spacecraft entered the airspace of Nanjiang Base City forty minutes ago, but did not land."

"Councilor Song himself has left the spaceship and entered the city. His exact location... is at Namjiang University."

Lu Zhengbei raised an eyebrow. Song Chen has arrived in Nanjiang Base City? And even went to Nanjiang University?

"What's he doing at Nanjiang University?"

The adjutant glanced at the terminal again.

"According to information on the school forum... Councilor Song is currently at the Third Martial Arts Training Hall with a freshman named Lin Qingxue. They were high school classmates."

"etc……"

"Sir, there's an emergency. It seems that Liu Chongshan's second son has gotten into a conflict with Councilor Song."

"The conflict seems to have stemmed from that girl."

"what?"

Lu Zhengbei was taken aback, then took the terminal.

A moment later, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Young man."

He stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window is the street scene of Nanjiang Base City, where the broad leaves of the sycamore trees gleam green in the sunlight.

He stood there for a few moments, then turned around.

"Pass on the order."

The adjutant stands at attention.

"The entire Nanjiang Base City Guard Brigade is assembled at the highest level of ceremonial protocol, ready to be inspected by the newly elected councilor of Great Xia."

The adjutant paused for a moment: "Sir, Councilor Song is currently on a private trip."

Lu Zhengbei glanced at him: "Private trip?"

"An honorary councilor entered your jurisdiction, and you pretended not to know? After he left, when the council asked, you said he was on a date and you didn't want to disturb him?"

He obediently shut his mouth.

"The ceremonial protocol is of the highest level. If he doesn't come, that's his business; if you don't prepare, that's your business."

Lu Zhengbei straightened his clothes.

"The number one genius of Great Xia, the number one genius of Great Xia who came from Nanjiang Province, has come to my territory. If I don't give him the respect he deserves, where will I, Lu Zhengbei, put my face in the martial arts circle of Nanjiang Province in the future?"

The adjutant straightened his back: "Yes, sir!"

He turned to leave, but was stopped at the door.

"etc."

Lu Zhengbei stood by the window, his expression subtle.

"Gather slowly, there's no rush."

The adjutant, who had followed him for fifteen years, understood instantly.

"clear."

The adjutant turned and left the office.

Lu Zhengbei turned back to the window and looked in the direction of Nanjiang University.

……

Song Chen looked at Liu Ming, the smile still on her lips.

From the moment he awakened the Killing System until now, he has become an honorary councilor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Then he stood in a training hall at Nanjiang University, where a second-tier student pressured him by saying that "his father is the vice president of the Martial Arts Guild".

How can I describe this feeling?

It's like someone crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, walking back into the city, only to be stopped by a child carrying a wooden sword who says, "Do you know who my father is?"

I won't get angry; I'll just find it novel.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Liu Ming, right? A true man should have ambitions beyond his hometown."

"Qingxue has no feelings for you, so why bother?"

Lin Qingxue tightened her grip on his sleeve.

Liu Ming's face flushed red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.

A guy from a small place like Anning City, dressed in rags, whose spiritual energy fluctuations are imperceptible, speaks to him in this tone.

He, Liu Ming, is a direct descendant of the Liu family of Nanjiang. In the entire Nanjiang University, there are no more than five students who dare to speak to him in such a tone.

Liu Ming took a step forward, raising his chin even higher.

"Who do you think you are?"

"A country bumpkin from Anning City, trying to teach me how to do things on the grounds of Nanjiang University?"

Just then, his underling tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Ming, the name Song Chen sounds so familiar."

"Let go." Liu Ming flung his sleeves open; he was completely absorbed in the moment.

The direct descendant of the Liu family in Nanjiang was spoken to like this by an outsider in front of the girl he liked.

What is rationality? It's unnecessary.

"Song Chen, right?" He uttered the name with a deliberate disdain.

"I don't blame you for coming from a small town and not knowing the rules of Nanjiang, but Qingxue is a student at Nanjiang University. Not just anyone can come and visit her."

He straightened his chest and glared at them fiercely.

"How about this, let's settle this like men, you and I will have a fight."

"If you win, you can take Qingxue away; if you lose, you will disappear from Nanjiang University and never appear in front of her again."

The air in the training room became quiet.

Song Chen looked at him and remained silent for two seconds.

Then he turned his head slightly and glanced at Lin Qingxue, whose gaze was fixed on him the whole time, without looking at Liu Ming.

Since that's the case, Song Chen turned around and looked at Liu Ming.

"it is good."

Just one word.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming laughed loudly. He turned around and strode out of the training room, flexing his wrists as he walked.

His strength ranks among the top thirty freshmen at Nanjiang University. How many moves would it take him to deal with a country bumpkin from Anning City? Three moves? Five moves?

He had already rehearsed the next scene in his mind: in front of Lin Qingxue, he would decisively defeat this arrogant brat, and then reach out and pull her up from the ground.

"Let's go outside and fight."

Outside the training room is a wide corridor.

Liu Ming walked to the center of the corridor, turned around, and assumed a fighting stance.

The spiritual energy fluctuations of the second-tier mid-stage spread from his body, and the spiritual energy brought by the fire-type fist technique condensed into a light red halo on his fist.

This is the Liu family's inherited combat technique from Nanjiang, the Flaming Fist, an A-level combat technique, which he has already mastered to the proficient level.

A group of students had already gathered on both sides of the corridor.

Someone recognized Liu Ming and whispered, "That Liu family guy is bullying people again."

Someone peeked into the training room and saw Lin Qingxue, and then saw the person in gray standing next to her.

Then their gaze fell on the knife on the man's back.

The silver-white hilt has a mercury-like sheen, a luster only found in S-rank weapons.

The discussion stopped.

Then footsteps came from the end of the corridor, many people walking with a running rhythm.
