The wind howled at the top of the mountain. Any louder voice would be blown away by the wind.

This voice penetrated the wind like iron, clearly falling into the ears of everyone on the large platform square. His martial strength was evident.

After the voice sounded, the platform immediately quieted down.

Everyone stood up and slowly gathered at the Martial Arts Plaza.

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the person who spoke.

It was the Level 8 Grandmaster from the Martial Arts Association that he had noticed before.

“I'm Jiang He, and I'm honored to be the person in charge of this National University Martial Arts Conference. I’m here to host this competition on behalf of Martial Sage Tan Zhongyu...”

The old man said some pleasantries and then announced, “Next, I'll announce the official commencement of the National University Martial Arts Conference.”

After that, he gave the right to speak to the woman in the blue cheongsam beside him.

The woman was also a Grandmaster. She took over the conversation and said loudly, “Everyone who is participating in this competition, please line up and draw lots. After drawing lots, we will be divided into groups.”

The crowd on the platform began to move.

Everyone from the Seven Sage Universities was arranged to stay together. Lu Sheng was in the middle of the group.

There were a total of six to seven hundred people participating in this Martial Arts conference.

For universities like Seven Sage Universities, each university had about ten spots for the competition. However, the number of spots for provincial martial arts universities was much smaller. At most, they had two or three spots.

Martial arts academies were even stricter.

Apart from the top martial arts schools like Transcendence Dao and Extreme Dao, most martial arts academies only had one spot.

Of course, they would send out their best disciples.

Martial arts academy disciples and university disciples were clearly separated. They could be distinguished at a glance.

Martial arts academy disciples were generally older.

Lu Sheng even saw a few people who had drawn lots and gone down. They had dark skin and looked like middle-aged men in their forties.

This was also the reason why the Martial Arts Conference had always been criticized.

The martial arts academies had a huge advantage.

Even twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old could participate.

Martial arts disciples over twenty-four years old had basically graduated. They were at a disadvantage in terms of martial arts cultivation time.

However, there were exceptions.

“Are you?”

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

He was sure that he did not know him.

“Oh, I'm a student from Dongning Martial University. My name is Lu Ming,” the young man said quickly, smiling. “We both have the surname Lu, but the Lu is the same as the one for the road.”

“Hello.”

Lu Sheng nodded slightly.

Dongning Martial University. He was from Dongning Province, so he was from the same hometown as this young man with the surname Lu.

“I've long heard of Junior Lu Sheng's great name. Now that I've met you, you're indeed extraordinary...”

The young man spoke with deep admiration.

His tone was serious.

Lu Ming had heard about Lu Sheng before. Today, when Lu Sheng reached the peak and let out a long howl, he was there too.

That kind of disdainful attitude of looking down on heroes and being the only one in the world left an extremely deep impression on him.

Lu Ming was Dongning Martial Arts University's strongest representative this time. Forget about the battle of howls.

He did not even have the courage to open his mouth and breathe.

There were too many powerhouses participating this time, so many that he was about to be reduced to dust.

Now, standing in front of Lu Sheng, he was quietly being stared at by Lu Sheng, who was as calm as the deep waters of a cold lake.

Lu Ming even had the illusion that he was a trembling little rabbit standing in front of a fierce tiger.

The difference was too great, so great that Lu Ming’s martial arts heart was about to waver.

“I’m sorry for the sudden intrusion.”

Lu Ming said some words to express his admiration, and then said, “It’s mainly because there are two juniors from our Dongning Martial University who came with the team. They said they know you and specially asked me to come and say hello to you ...”

As he spoke, he pointed in a direction behind him.

Lu Sheng looked over and was surprised to see two familiar faces.

One was a tall and strong young man with dark skin, like a black bear.

The other girl’s hair reached her waist, and her face was pure and cute.

Both of them were looking at him, looking nervous.

“Xing Zhi? Kong Qing?”
