Martial Master

Three days later.

In the boundless horizon above, a massive Iron Feather Eagle soared through the sky, and on its back stood two people.

One of them, wearing a blue long robe, had a handsome face and an ethereal figure, emanating an inexplicable aura, as if he had merged with the heavens and earth.

He stood atop the eagle's neck, his legs as solid as rock, immovable against the howling hurricane, his gaze fixed ahead like a sovereign.

The other person, cloaked in black, had their face shrouded in darkness, only gazing respectfully at the young man before him.

These two were naturally Qin Chen and Hei Nu, who had just left Heizhuo City.

At that time, Qin Chen and Hei Nu forcefully killed the president of the Gufeng Chamber of Commerce, Qiu Lengfeng, and repelled the leader of the Heixiu Society, Long Yaotian, leaving Heizhuo City in broad daylight without any interference.

Once they left Heizhuo City, Qin Chen promptly summoned the Iron Feather Eagle.

As expected, the Iron Feather Eagle did not disappoint him; it had been waiting in the mountains outside Heizhuo City and had not left.

Moved, Qin Chen fed the eagle several pills, allowing its cultivation to break through to the Mystic Level before riding it towards the imperial city of the Dawi Dynasty.

After breaking through to the Mystic Level, the Iron Feather Eagle's speed was astounding; in just three days, it had carried Qin Chen and Hei Nu across two states of the Dawi Dynasty, and it was estimated they would reach the imperial city in less than seven days.

During these three days, Qin Chen stood on the eagle's back, coldly gazing ahead.

At such a high altitude, with the Mystic Level Iron Feather Eagle's speed, how terrifying would the winds be that blew against them?

Yet Qin Chen remained unperturbed, his feet seemingly rooted as he closed his eyes in contemplation, merging into the surrounding heavens and earth.

It was as if the wind was him, and he was the wind!

"In the land of the Five Kingdoms, how could such a terrifying genius appear? Young Master Chen, is he really from the Five Kingdoms?"

Gazing at Qin Chen, Hei Nu felt a shock within.

Standing firmly on the eagle's back was not impressive; with his cultivation, he could do the same.

But to be like Qin Chen, melding oneself with the universe and making the fierce winds a part of his body—this was something ordinary people could not achieve.

This was the legendary state of unity between man and heaven.

The longer Hei Nu followed Qin Chen, the more he sensed Qin Chen's terror.

Initially, outside the ruins, Qin Chen claimed to be from the outer realm, coming from a higher power. Hei Nu thought it was just a casual remark, but after pondering carefully these past days, he couldn't help but wonder if what Qin Chen said was true!

How could an ordinary person from the Five Kingdoms possess such terrifying mastery in alchemy, formations, and other areas?

"He Nu, you must be from the Dawi Dynasty. Do you know about the powers in the imperial city of the Dawi Dynasty?"

At this moment, a calm voice suddenly rang in Hei Nu's ears.

Hei Nu was taken aback, then quickly came to his senses, realizing that Young Master Chen was asking him.

"Dawi Imperial City?"

Hei Nu murmured, and suddenly a hint of confusion flickered in his eyes, a trace of inexplicable melancholy passing through them.

That look caused Qin Chen to pause slightly.

"It seems this Hei Nu has many stories to tell!"

Qin Chen understood that Hei Nu must have some secrets unknown to him, hidden deep in his heart, and it appeared that this secret was related to the Dawi Dynasty's imperial city.

In a daze, Hei Nu's gaze gradually solidified, and he said solemnly, "Young Master Chen, the Dawi Dynasty is one of the more powerful dynasties among the Hundred Dynasties. Within the imperial city, the forces are extensive, and strong individuals are numerous."

"However, overall, the top three forces in the Dawi Dynasty's imperial city can be summarized."

"Three?"

Qin Chen looked over, listening intently.

Hei Nu continued, "The first, without a doubt, is the royal family of the Dawi Dynasty. As the ruling force of the Dawi Dynasty's imperial power, the Duan family has always been the strongest force in the entire Dawi Dynasty, and no one dares to challenge its might. The reason the Imperial Star Academy can maintain its transcendent status in the Dawi Dynasty is fundamentally because its backing is the royal family. The Imperial Star Academy serves as a cradle to gather the talents of the dynasty and cultivate powerful individuals for the royal family."
