Beside the two of them were General Ai Lun, Prime Minister Jin Kai and Vice President Liang Xinghe, as well as a few elders of the academy and the Flame Emperor's guards. Below the stage were the students of the Sky Realm Academy, a sea of people, and at the extreme left were the students of the Lifestealer Realm.

Every year's ranking battles attracted the most attention, but Sky Realm Academy had too many students after all, so not everyone of them were qualified to participate in the ranking battles. Those under the fifth stage did not even have the qualifications to enter the stage, and would be crippled even if they did not die.

"Everyone …" Mu Zhong Li stood up and said in a clear voice: "Today is the day our Sky Realm Academy will compete for the top seat. I'm sure everyone has been waiting for this for a long time, but this year is different from the previous years …"

"This is our Thousand Autumn Dynasty's current Emperor Yan Emperor. He has specially come this year to watch this ranking battle, and I hope all of you will perform well."

"Flame Emperor? Is this the majesty of our Thousand Autumn Dynasty? " Everyone below the stage cried out in alarm. They already knew that this person's identity wasn't simple, but they didn't expect him to be the current emperor.

The entire Martial Region Continent was ruled by the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, could it be that this was the world's monarch? The Flame Emperor was born in the imperial city, who would have thought that he would travel thousands of miles to come to the Sky Realm Academy to observe the ranking battle?!

When they thought about how the Flame Emperor had come, the students below the stage were extremely excited. Who didn't want to show off in front of the Flame Emperor?

The Flame Emperor stood up and smiled at the students below the stage: "Sky Realm Academy is one of the three great academies in Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and would train a large number of talents every year. It's a pity that in previous years, Thousand Autumn Dynasty was busy with many things, and I have been busy defending against external troubles all year round, so I do not have the time to personally visit.

These people were all carrying trays, and on the trays, there were medicine bottles and various kinds of weapons. All of these medicine pills were from the third grade to the sixth grade, and the weapons were from the Profound Rank to the Emperor grade. Each and every one of them were rare items, and only the imperial court had them.

The Flame Emperor smiled and said, "These are the prizes for this year's ranking battle. They will be given to some students who have performed well. I hope you all will work hard."

Many of the students in Class B, who were at the ninth stage, were stronger than others, but that was because they had trained for a long time, and some disciples with A class, who were weak at the moment, only had five six stages, and did not dare to show their strength on the stage. If that was the case, the Flame Emperor would very likely miss out on a genius, so he could use these things to attract the attention of those who were weak, and those who had talent would definitely pay attention to them.

There were many students in the Sky Realm Academy, so not everyone would step up for the ranking battle every year. This would save some time, but if the Flame Emperor did this, it would attract everyone's attention, and the competition would drag on for too long.

However, Mu Zhongli knew that the Flame Emperor did this because he did not want to miss out on the geniuses of the Sky Realm Academy.

Hearing the Flame Emperor's words, the students below the stage all began to shout. They were all getting restless, as if they wanted to show off their strength right away.

Seeing that he was in high spirits, Flame Emperor retreated with a smile.

Mu Zhongli stepped forward again. "I assume you guys can't wait any longer. I won't waste any more time. Let's begin."

He looked at Liang Xinghe, and saw that he was the host of the competition.

Liang Xinghe walked out and laughed: "This year is just like previous years, the ranking competition will start from Lifestealer Realm, there will be no rules, if you use your full strength, it will be difficult to avoid accidental injuries, and this year will also be the same, so the people who take the stage will have to be careful and not force it."

The reason why he said this was because he was afraid that everyone would want to go up onto the stage and delay their matches. He then looked at Fang Xin and nodded, "Fang Xin, you come up first.

Fang Xin immediately walked onto the stage and bowed towards Liang Xinghe, then calmly looked at everyone below the stage.

Everyone was originally ready to make a move, but when they saw Fang Xin, they suddenly became as stiff as eggplants, not knowing what to do. They thought that the person who would step on the stage would be powerful, and that they would have a chance to display their skills, but in the end, the first person to do so would be a genius with A class.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay. No one dared to come forward.

Flame Emperor looked at Fang Xin with curiosity, then asked as he moved his head towards Mu Zhongli, "Who is this?"

Mu Zhongli said softly, "This is a new student that our academy has just accepted a while back. His talent is very good and there are few who are stronger than him in A class today."

Flame Emperor looked at Fang Xin up and down, he could not help but be curious about him, and inwardly thought that the other people looked like they were afraid of him.

Fang Xin looked at the crowd with a face full of ridicule, he looked around, and at last, landed on Di Chen, and said loudly: "Since no one dares to challenge us, then I will challenge us, Di Chen, I challenge you, do you dare to challenge us?"

Di Chen was considered to be quite famous in the Sky Realm Academy, he had injured Li Caishi in the academy examination and then defeated many genius disciples of A class. It was said that even Yu Xiuyuan had died in the hands of Di Chen, and during this period of time, many of the martial kings in the academy had suffered losses because of Di Chen. Although no one had seen for themselves how strong Di Chen actually was, they were all curious about him due to the rumors.

Originally, Di Chen did not really want to participate in the ranking competition, so scholars should keep a low profile. But Fang Xin had killed Cao Rouer, and if it was up to him, he could not let him live.

"Go on," Liu Mengqi said softly, this was saying that Di Chen could kill Fang Xin.

Di Chen nodded, and then stepped onto the stage in front of everyone's eyes.

Liang Xinghe glanced at Di Chen, and could tell that Di Chen's cultivation had increased again, and laughed: "Let's begin, remember, it's over now."

With that said, he retreated and handed the stage over to Di Chen.

Fang Xin looked at Di Chen with a playful smile: "Although Vice Principal Liang has stated that matters are at an end, but you know that this ranking battle is a matter of life and death. If you surrender in front of everyone, perhaps I will spare your life."

Di Chen squinted, his eyes releasing black light. He noticed that Fang Xin's entire body was releasing a halo that was as black as ink, and it seemed to have reached its limit, which meant that Fang Xin was definitely going to die today.

Di Chen did not speak, he suddenly took a step forward and punched forward.

"You're courting death," Seeing that Di Chen not only did not plan to give up, but actually still wanted to attack, Fang Xin's spirit energy immediately gushed out and a tiger's roar came from his arm. It was obvious that his arm was shrouded in a layer of tiger's shadow.

Bang!

The two fists collided, and Fang Xin was flipped over, rolling over a dozen times. His arms were faintly trembling, but Di Chen did not move an inch.

Ever since Yu Xiuyuan died, Fang Xin has been ranked among the top three strongest in A class, and yet he can't even take one of Di Chen's punches?

Not only the students in the audience, even the Flame Emperor was surprised.'s punch just now did not use any spirit energy, but he was this strong just relying on his strength?

This was the first time the Flame Emperor had seen someone rely on their own strength to break an opponent's cultivation technique.

Fang Xin used his hands to prop himself up, and coldly looked at Di Chen: "I never expected me to underestimate your strength, looks like I can't hold back any longer."

As he said that, he took out a red long spear that was about two meters long and refined with Sky Mystical Iron. He channeled his spirit energy into the spear and pointed it at Di Chen.

"Scarlet Refined Spear, a profound level weapon with 800 points. I never thought that Fang Xin would earn so many points after coming to the Academy for only a few months."

"Now Di Chen is in danger." The people below the stage cried out in surprise, this Scarlet Refining Spear was something that many people liked, it was the strongest weapon that the Sky Realm Academy's Lifestealer Realm warriors could use, but because of the high points, no one could afford it, nobody thought that Fang Xin would actually buy it.

After seeing the Red Refined Spear, many people sentenced Di Chen to death.

Di Chen took a step back, took out his Heaven Brush, and wrote a "Slash" character in the air to welcome the Scarlet Refined Spear.

Previously, Di Chen's formula was transparent, it seemed like it was made of Qi, but now, the word "cut" was red like blood, its power was clearly different from before.

Bang!

The word "kill" clashed with the red refined spear, and with a loud explosion, the red refined spear was actually shattered into pieces, while Fang Xin was also blown away, his entire right arm was broken from the impact, blood gushed out, it was a tragic sight.

"What?" Seeing this scene, everyone below the stage exclaimed. Fang Xin who had switched for the Red Refined Spear was still not a match for Di Chen?

Everyone already knew that Di Chen was strong, but now they realised that they had underestimated him.

"Sky Evolution Brush?" Everyone suddenly saw that the pen in Di Chen's hand was actually the Yan Tian Divine Brush with 1000 points, they all had a strange look, this 1000 points, was not a weapon, this Di Chen actually spent so many points to exchange for this, and was even able to unleash such power?

Everyone thought to themselves, could this Sky Spill Brush be an Earth Level spirit weapon?

Initially, Yang Mengqi was still a little worried that Di Chen would lose, but after seeing this, she felt relieved, afraid that no one in the Sky Realm Academy could defeat Di Chen now.

Liang Xinghe laughed, he had long known that Di Chen wanted to exchange for the Sky Spill Brush, but he did not expect that Di Chen actually earned a thousand points.

"No elemental energy?" This time, Flame Emperor noticed that Di Chen did not use any soul force. Without any soul force, it meant that he was not a warrior, if he was not a warrior, would he still have such power?

But the Sky Realm Academy is a martial arts training ground, you actually still want to recruit a literati?
