tatus, she was still inferior to this number two figure in the Great Shun Empire.Ye Bufan used his eyes to signal her not to make things difficult, then said with a chuckle: "Commander Yan, I wonder w...It's no wonder Feng Tianxiang would be so distraught. One hundred thousand military exploits is a number that leaves them far behind. To achieve this, how many barbarian soldiers would need to be killed

Before, their entire Cangfeng Academy was unstoppable. Five hundred plus of them slaying barbarian soldiers was less than a fraction of what the others accomplished.

Ye Bufan smiled at him: "Cheating You can do that too! As long as you can conjure up a million merit points on this card, I'll concede defeat immediately."

"I..."

Feng Tianxiang was immediately speechless. He didn't have the ability to do that.

This medal of merit is incredibly well-crafted. Not even he, let alone a master array designer, could alter the contents within it.

"Well, I lost. There's no shame in admitting it!"

This time, Song Jian broke his usual behavior and stood directly on Ye Bufan's side. He glared fiercely at Feng Tianxiang and then said, "Dean Ye, not bad, this time the Lingxiao Academy has really made this king look at it with admiration."

"This time you all performed admirably, burning a large amount of the enemy's provisions. You completely reversed the tide of battle. One hundred thousand That's well-deserved credit, none of it watered down. I am truly impressed."

His words completely took everyone present by surprise. Both the people from Cangfeng Academy and the royal family looked stunned.

Even the few people from Lingxiao Academy couldn't believe it was true. They didn't understand why Song Jian, who had always been an enemy of theirs, suddenly changed his attitude

Lu Xue'man asked, "Prince, do you mean that we won this new newcomer ranking match"

"Of course!" Song Jian replied decisively. "Although three days haven't passed yet, one hundred thousand merit points, even if the Tianfeng Empire royal family and Cangfeng Academy tried their best to catch up, they wouldn't be able to reach this height."

Moreover, both teams are now depleted and weakened, struggling even to field a complete roster. Under these circumstances, if you don't win, who will

After Song Jian finished speaking, everyone around was speechless. On the Tianfeng Empire's royal side, there was only Song Yaoji left, and the team was not even six people in total.

The Cangfeng Academy side had Fan Xiaofeng killed. Although there were still dozens left, each one was wounded and their cultivation levels were far from enough.

He said again: "This king has made a decision. Lingxiao Academy will represent the Tianfeng Empire in the newcomer ranking tournament. Now, we return to the city and, before the Emperor and Empress, I formally announce this decision."

After finishing his speech, he led his men back to Heaven Wolf City, followed closely by the rest.

Everyone from Lingxiao Academy unknowingly followed behind in a line. Hu Yaoyao trailed beside Ye Bufan, whispering, "Little brother, I feel like this old fox is a bit off."

Nalan Yujia said without any reservation: "I think so too, it's like a dog that can't change its nature of eating feces. This old thing is impossible to suddenly have a conscience."

"Don't worry, we can handle whatever comes our way. We'll meet challenges head-on."

Ye Bufan didn't think Song Jian would have such a sudden change, there must be something fishy going on.

But he didn't care, with an eighth-order monster beside him, everything was insignificant.

Song Jian brought everyone back to the city of Tianlang and went straight to the small training ground of the City Lord's Mansion.

This is the place where Zhai Tianfang usually trains his soldiers. Although it's not as large as the royal training ground in the Heavenly Peak Empire, it can still accommodate thousands of people.

Then he arranged for the young emperor and Empress Dowager Huazizhu to be brought over as well.

Hua Ziyue frowned. She knew there was a battle raging outside the city, and she wondered what Song Jian was planning at this moment.

"An Shun Prince, what do you mean by this"

"Your Majesty, the results of the Newcomer Ranking Tournament are in. Lingxiao Academy emerged victorious, surpassing Cangfeng Academy and the Royal Family."

Lord Ye is truly exceptional, having made a great contribution to the entire Tianfeng Empire this time. I, as king, will announce the results of this selection publicly, and request that Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress bear witness.

Hua Zi Yue was immediately taken aback, wondering what medicine Song Jian was selling.

She was very clear that even if Ye Bufan truly won the competition, this old geezer wouldn't cooperate so readily. Otherwise, there would have been a result when they were in the imperial capital of Tianfeng Empire, and it wouldn't have dragged on until now.

But anyway, since they brought it up, there's no reason for me to say no.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, she said, "Alright then, let's do it!"

Song Jian smiled slightly and addressed the crowd: "Everyone, in this newcomer ranking competition, Dean Ye and his team performed outstandingly, directly earning one hundred thousand merit points."

I now officially declare that the Lingxiao Academy has won!

After he finished speaking, many people around him looked dumbfounded, especially those from Cangfeng Academy. They were very clear about the conflict between Prince Anshun and Ye Bufan, but they didn't expect him to actually announce that Lingxiao Academy was the winner.

Only Lu Xue Man, Jiang Fang Zhou, Hu Yao Yao and others, after a brief shock, immediately cheered. After so many twists and turns and changes, they finally achieved the ultimate victory.

Especially Li Qingzhu was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. Being able to revive Lingxiao Academy had been her and her grandfather's lifelong dream, and today it finally came true under Ye Bufan's leadership.

Hua Zi Yue, on the other hand, had a serious expression, feeling that things couldn't be this simple.

After so many years of fighting, she naturally knew Prince An Shun's cunning well. There might be some ulterior motives waiting behind the scenes.

"Indeed, Song Jian looked at Ye Bufan with a complex expression: 'Young man, I have to say, you are far more outstanding than I imagined. Although I always tried my best to overestimate you, I still underestimated you in the end.'"

It's a pity you didn't choose to stand with me in the end. Your future would have been boundless otherwise.

At this point, he shook his head, a look of regret on his face.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "I'm not bad now, with boundless prospects too!"

"You are all doomed." Song Jian's expression changed, and he looked coldly at the people present. "This king announces the second thing, that is, you are all going to die now."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the crowd, which had just calmed down a bit, was once again stunned and confused by what he meant.

And just then, a cacophony of footsteps echoed through the air as thousands of archers surged forward, instantly aiming their arrows at everyone present.

Even a fool knows now, Prince An Shun has ripped away the veil and openly rebelled.

Now everyone was filled with utter horror, for treason was a capital crime that extended to the nine generations of one's family.

Feng Xingkong's expression also became incredibly complex. Deep down, he only wanted to get a spot in the newcomer ranking tournament and didn't want to board this ship of rebellion.

Song Jian turned his head and glanced at him: "Dean Feng, you're in a corner now, aren't you"

"Follow me and I'll have these people killed. Then the spot in the newcomer ranking tournament will be yours, Fengfeng Academy."

Feng Xingkong hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded. He stood with the people from Cangfeng Academy on the side of the rebels.

Although he was reluctant, he had no other choice but to follow Song Jian and break the boat with him.

Song Jian's lips curled into a smug smile, and then he turned his gaze to the little emperor and Hua Zi Yue.
