"Demon beast, oh heavens! It's a demon beast." At this moment, along the wide streets of Celestial Flame City, many civilians were letting out terrified screams, their expressions horrified to the extreme.

Several dozen large-sized demon beasts, moving at an astonishing speed, stampeded along the streets of Celestial Flame City, causing the ground to violently tremble. Even the stone bricks beneath their feet were crushed into fragments.

This group of demon beasts, even the weakest among them, was a Tier Two Demon Beast, enough to pose a threat to a Qi Dao Master of the Gang Qi Realm.

Furthermore, there was one demon beast towering nearly ten feet high, like a moving small mountain, with a cold and ruthless-looking middle-aged man in black armor seated atop, making people involuntarily shiver.

This demon beast was definitely a Tier Three Demon Beast, its strength capable of rivaling a Celestial Spirit Realm power.

Yet now, it had become the mount for that middle-aged man in black armor.

"This is the Royal Capital of the Celestial Flame Dynasty? It's really desolate!"

"Ha! Compared to the Royal Capital of our Black Sand Dynasty, it's far inferior." At this moment, a group of young cultivators seated on demon beasts were laughing contemptuously, their mouths curled with thick mockery.

This group of young cultivators all had arrogance to the extreme, looking at everyone as if they were viewing a group of lowly ants.

They were all students of the Black Sand Academy of the Black Sand Dynasty.

The Black Sand Dynasty, being a second-class dynasty under the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, had an overall strength several times greater than the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Moreover, the Black Sand Academy was the most powerful academy of the Black Sand Dynasty, providing one or two Immortal Seeds to the Azure Sky Immortal Sect annually, a feat beyond the reach of the Celestial Flame Academy.

Thus, these Black Sand Academy students naturally had a strong sense of superiority.

In their eyes, the people of the Celestial Flame Dynasty were no different from a group of lower-class commoners.

"Come, follow me to the Celestial Flame Academy. I want to see for myself the weight of the Celestial Flame Academy's students." At this moment, the black-armored middle-aged man seated on the Tier Three Demon Beast Black Wind Rhinoceros suddenly had a hint of mockery in his smile.

This black-armored middle-aged man, named Luo Yong, was the Vice Palace Master of Black Sand Academy.

He had a burly physique, akin to a humanoid beast, with black armor exuding a cold metallic sheen, giving an iron-blooded and domineering feel.

Normally, for a third-class dynasty like the Celestial Flame Dynasty, a high-ranking figure like him wouldn't bother to visit.

However, recent rumors of an Immortal Secret Realm emerging in the Celestial Flame Dynasty had spread widely, even reaching the ears of Black Sand Dynasty.

Therefore, Luo Yong had brought elite students from Black Sand Academy to the Celestial Flame Dynasty to investigate.

It turned out the rumors were true.

Soon, an Immortal Secret Realm deep within the Canglan Mountain Range would emerge.

Yet, Luo Yong did not plan to wait in the Canglan Mountain Range, finding it too tedious.

So, he simply led the students into Celestial Flame City to pass the time, while letting the Celestial Flame Academy's students witness the might of Black Sand Academy's students.

In essence, he wanted to flaunt the prowess of Black Sand Academy.

"Ha! Among the students of Celestial Flame Academy, only Chu Feng has some reputation. As for the others, they're nothing but a rabble." Black Sand Academy students laughed disdainfully, their brows full of pride.

"Hmph! What is Chu Feng worth? Compared to our senior brother, it's like heaven and earth. Our senior brother ranks fifty-fourth on the Hidden Dragon List, crushing Chu Feng is child's play." One student sneered.

"I'm too lazy to engage in a battle with someone like that." At this moment, a young man in red battle armor spoke disdainfully.

It was as if, in his eyes, Chu Feng was just an ant to be crushed at will.

Though Chu Feng ranked eighty-ninth on the Hidden Dragon List, showing considerable strength.

Yet compared to him, ranked fifty-fourth on the Hidden Dragon List, he was utterly insignificant.

Such a person was not qualified to be his opponent.

Half an hour later.

A large square above Celestial Flame Academy gathered a massive crowd of students from Celestial Flame Academy, mainly from Celestial Flame Peak, Profound Sword Peak, and Soul Palace.

As for students from War King Hall, none were present.

"Are those the students of Black Sand Academy?"

"Our Celestial Flame Dynasty has always had no dealings with the Black Sand Dynasty. What do these students of Black Sand Academy want by coming to our Celestial Flame Academy?" Celestial Flame Academy students whispered among themselves, their expressions extremely grave.

"Eh? Could that be Zhang Qian, ranked fifty-fourth on the Hidden Dragon List?" Suddenly, a student's face changed dramatically, eyes fixed on a young man in red battle armor, filled with shock.

"Indeed, it's him. Such a terrifying presence has actually come to our Celestial Flame Academy."

"This Zhang Qian, I'm afraid even our senior brother Chu Feng is not his match. His ranking on the Hidden Dragon List is much higher than that of senior brother Chu Feng." The surrounding students couldn't help but take a cold breath, feeling a chill creeping up their spines.

"Zhang Qian!" Even Chu Feng in the crowd furrowed his brows tightly, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

He was also a strong contender on the Hidden Dragon List, so he deeply understood how difficult it was to rank in the top sixty.

Even if he became twice as powerful, he still couldn't achieve it.

Therefore, even someone as proud and competitive as he was felt immense pressure from Zhang Qian.

If the two of them really fought, he had no confidence whatsoever in defeating Zhang Qian.

"I wonder, what brings Vice Palace Master Luo to our Celestial Flame Academy today?" At this moment, the Celestial Flame Peak Master asked Luo Yong with a grave expression, his brows tightly knit.

If Luo Yong was visiting as a guest at their Celestial Flame Academy, he would be more than welcome.

However, since Luo Yong entered the Celestial Flame Academy, he had been incredibly cold, not at all like someone coming as a guest.

This left the Celestial Flame Peak Master with a vague sense of foreboding.

"Chu Lin, don't pretend to be confused. Of course, I'm here to see the skills of your students at the Celestial Flame Academy. Go ahead and call out your strongest students to accept the challenge from our Black Sand Academy." Luo Yong lifted his head high, speaking to the Celestial Flame Peak Master in a condescending tone, as if he were directly ordering him.

Although the Celestial Flame Peak Master was the master of the Celestial Flame Academy and extremely powerful,

In Luo Yong's eyes, he was nothing noteworthy.

In their Black Sand Dynasty, there were several people stronger than the Celestial Flame Peak Master.

Even Luo Yong, as a vice palace master, was confident he could crush the Celestial Flame Peak Master.

So naturally, he didn't take the Celestial Flame Peak Master seriously.

His visit to the Celestial Flame Academy this time was purely for fun, to let this group of frogs at the bottom of the well know how terrifying Black Sand Academy was.

"Well... let me think about it." The Celestial Flame Peak Master's expression became extremely grim, with a deep-seated anger and humiliation flashing across his eyes.

As the master of the Celestial Flame Academy, his status in the Celestial Flame Dynasty was considered supreme.

But now, Luo Yong was ordering him around.

This was nothing less than a great humiliation for him.

However, Luo Yong, as the vice palace master of Black Sand Academy, was not someone he could afford to provoke.

So he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Ha! It seems you have no confidence in your students at Celestial Flame Academy? Indeed, this bunch of rubbish wastes aren't fit to fight." Luo Yong couldn't help but sneer, his mouth full of derision.

"What? He actually called us a bunch of rubbish wastes."

"Damn it, this is too much bullying." The students from the three major factions trembled with anger, their expressions filled with extreme humiliation.

Especially Chu Feng, Wang Lian, and other seed students, their faces were ashen, as if they had suffered a huge humiliation.

They were, after all, talents who had awakened the Profound Bloodline, and were among the best in the entire Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Yet in Luo Yong's eyes, they were a bunch of trash and wastes.

This was unbearable for them.

"Vice Palace Master Luo, do not underestimate the students of our Celestial Flame Academy. Since you are so eager to fight, I will send the students from our Profound Sword Peak to battle." At this time, Duanmu Ying coldly declared.

While the Celestial Flame Peak Master could endure Luo Yong's provocation, she could not.

Even though she knew the students of Black Sand Academy were strong, their Profound Sword Peak had been focusing all their efforts on cultivating their seed students in recent months, resulting in rapid improvements in their abilities.

Therefore, Duanmu Ying was still confident in letting them fight against the students of Black Sand Academy.

"Master of Profound Sword Peak is straightforward, then let's begin!" Luo Yong said in a detached tone, his eyes full of mockery.

"Hold on, this exchange between our two academies is meant to be a simple sparring match, so each faction only needs to send one student. There's no need for everyone to go up at once." The Celestial Flame Peak Master said with furrowed brows.

He did this to prevent Celestial Flame Academy from losing too disgracefully.

If Celestial Flame Academy sent out many students and all were defeated by Black Sand Academy,

then Celestial Flame Academy would truly become a laughingstock among the dynasties.

"Fine, you better send out your strongest student, otherwise you won't even be qualified to entertain us from Black Sand Academy." Luo Yong sneered, his tone dripping with disdain.
