# Chapter 1734: King Ji Shang
On the King-Sealing Platform, light radiated brilliantly as figures suddenly appeared one after another. The crowd only saw flashes of light, and then another figure would emerge, standing calmly in their positions like statues, as if they had always been there rather than having just arrived.
"The scale is getting larger and larger. On the day of King-Sealing, the academy places great importance on it," Lin Feng said softly. Jun Moxi nodded: "Generally speaking, those who become kings will all become invincible powerhouses. This is also an honor for the academy. They have passed the academy's trials to become kings, so they definitely possess true strength, not just empty fame."
"Dong!" A bell rang. The ancient bell on the King-Sealing Platform trembled, its sound echoing far and wide. In the distance, a figure slowly walked toward the steps of the King-Sealing Platform. This person was dressed simply, but as he walked, he gave off a feeling of unfathomable depth. He possessed a kingly aura, as if born with it. With each step he took, it seemed to make the crowd's hearts beat in sync with his footsteps. His steps seemed to resonate with the rhythm of heaven and earth.
As soon as he appeared, he drew everyone's attention. No matter where such a person went, he seemed destined to become the protagonist, the most dazzling one.
"Ying Cheng!" Even those who had never seen Ying Cheng before could sense who this person was. He was undoubtedly the one being crowned king today.
"This person's body is like a wild beast from the wastelands. His essence and energy leak out as if merging with heaven and earth, like a dragon or tiger. It seems that with a single movement, he could shatter heaven and earth. He is definitely a terrifying figure." Lin Feng observed Ying Cheng's essence, energy, and spirit, feeling that he himself probably still had a considerable gap compared to Ying Cheng. In the Holy City Central Continent, where so many monstrous talents emerged, a king-sealing person only appeared once every few hundred years. This showed how formidable they were, much rarer than King Bodies. After all, not every King Body could become a king.
Ying Cheng stepped onto the stone stairs and walked step by step to the King-Sealing Platform. He exuded an aura of looking down on the world. His gaze swept over the crowd, not revealing any sharpness, but carrying an inherent powerful pressure.
"Jun Moxi, what is Ying Cheng's cultivation level?" Lin Feng asked Jun Moxi.
"I don't know his ultimate combat power, but he can almost sweep through all Martial Emperors," Jun Moxi said calmly. Lin Feng nodded inwardly. Truly formidable. He could already sweep through all Martial Emperor powerhouses.
"Today is Ying Cheng's King-Sealing Ceremony. Thank you all for coming to witness it," an old man beside Ying Cheng said, nodding slightly to the surroundings. Lin Feng's gaze swept around. There were some powerhouses with unfathomable cultivation levels, probably figures from the other three academies.
"Congratulations to the Heavenly God Academy for producing another king-sealing person after five hundred years. Our Spring Autumn Academy wishes Ying Cheng great success," an old man said slowly. He was from the Spring Autumn Academy, extremely formidable.
"The Eternal Ancient Academy also congratulates Ying Cheng on becoming king," another old man said slowly. He was a powerhouse from the Eternal Ancient Academy.
However, after these two spoke, no one else continued, causing a strange look to appear among the crowd. The War King Academy seemed to have no one coming to offer congratulations.
But thinking about some of the grudges between the Heavenly God Academy and the War King Academy, the crowd understood. In the past, the War King Academy had a person whose talent was not inferior to Ying Cheng's, who had even defeated Ying Cheng. But that person had died inexplicably at Ying Cheng's hands. If he hadn't died, that person might also be able to become a king now. What a pity that he died young. Heaven was jealous of geniuses. Many people speculated that his death was probably not so simple.
And now, the War King Academy still had a very formidable figure, Ji Shang. Some already called him War King, or King Ji Shang. This person also had the potential to become a king. He was the only one in the same generation of the War King Academy who could contend with Ying Cheng of the Heavenly God Academy.
"War King Academy, has no one arrived?" Ying Cheng spoke slowly at this moment. His calm voice carried an authority that inspired awe without anger.
No one responded to Ying Cheng's words. The War King Academy had no one to congratulate him on his King-Sealing Ceremony.
The space fell silent for a moment, and then Ying Cheng spoke: "When a disciple of the four academies becomes king, the other three academies traditionally celebrate together and participate in the King-Sealing Ceremony. Now the War King Academy is absent from my King-Sealing Ceremony. How rude. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit the War King Academy."
Ying Cheng's voice was clear and resonant, spreading through the air, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble. This Ying Cheng truly lived up to his status as a king-sealing person. What boldness, to dare to criticize the War King Academy's faults, and to dare to say he would visit the War King Academy in the future. The word "visit" was worth pondering.
"War King Academy comes to offer congratulations." Above the void, rolling clouds surged. A towering battle intent rolled in, stirring the winds and clouds of heaven and earth. That terrifying battle intent was a phantom figure. This phantom figure wore a golden long robe, its battle intent soaring to the heavens, as if it wanted to tear open heaven and earth, charging straight at Ying Cheng.
"King Ji Shang!" The crowd saw this phantom in the sky, the soaring battle intent, and their pupils contracted slightly. The War King Academy's congratulations had arrived, but it was Ji Shang's battle will roaring in.
"Such terrifying battle will. Among this generation of the four academies, probably only King Ji Shang dares to provoke Ying Cheng like this. Although the Spring Autumn Academy and the Eternal Ancient Academy also have monstrous geniuses, they haven't reached the level of Ying Cheng and Ji Shang." The crowd's hearts trembled. They saw Ying Cheng raise his eyes, and suddenly two beams of light that looked down on heaven and earth shot from his pupils.
With a roar, his soaring will made his long robe flutter. A phantom figure shot up into the sky. It was Ying Cheng's terrifying willpower, transforming into endless life-and-death fist lights, pressing toward Ji Shang.
"Boom!" The two terrifying wills collided and intertwined. Two phantom figures appeared in the void, exactly like Ying Cheng's phantom and Ji Shang's phantom, lifelike, as if they were personally fighting.
"Ying Cheng, wait for me," King Ji Shang's voice was sharp, full of kingly spirit. Today Ying Cheng became king. In the future, Ji Shang would also wear the king's crown, becoming king on the King-Sealing Platform of the War King Academy, with congratulations from all directions and the attention of countless people.
"Wait for you to become king and fight," Ying Cheng's spirit overwhelmed the sky, his voice rolling. The two phantom figures exploded simultaneously, dissipating into nothingness. But the terrifying will still lingered in the air, making the crowd's hearts quite unsettled. That collision just now should have been the strongest collision between the two strongest figures of this generation. As for rising talents, surpassing them would probably be harder than reaching the sky.
Ying Cheng, waiting for Ji Shang to become king.
"As expected of King Ji Shang, the pride of our War King Academy. He will definitely become king in the future," a voice sounded beside Lin Feng and the others. Lin Feng and the others turned their gazes and saw several familiar faces. They had encountered them before when leaving the palace. They were powerhouses from the War King Academy, Yu Wenhou and Shan Meng and the others.
"This is natural. King Ji is probably going on a long journey this time. I wonder if he can become king when he returns," Shan Meng said calmly, seeming to know quite a bit about Ji Shang.
"Ji Shang established the Ji Gate in the War King Academy and was titled King Ji Shang. He is the commander of the Ji Gate, with many monstrous powerhouses under him willing to follow him. Ji Shang's ambition is not small. He seems to want to establish a king-level force," Jun Moxi said softly to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's body trembled slightly. Ji Shang established the Ji Gate, wanting to create a king-level force.
Whether it was the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans or those powerful forces comparable to them, like the Nether King Palace, they were all founded by people. The founders were all people of supreme talent. Ji Shang had this kind of ambition. This made Lin Feng's heart stir. Those who could enter the War King Academy were all terrifying monstrous figures. If he could recruit followers from within the War King Academy, given time, he could naturally achieve great things. If he wanted to establish the Heavenly Terrace, could he also start from the War King Academy?
But Lin Feng knew how difficult it was. The people of the War King Academy were all monstrous figures in their own right. Tantai was already very formidable, but he had failed the assessment last time. This showed that those who could enter were by no means ordinary. These people were proud and aloof. To lead them, one would need great prestige, like Ji Shang, possessing the potential to become a king, to make them willingly submit and join his Ji Gate.
"Perhaps I can also walk the path of becoming a king," Lin Feng said to himself. If he could become a king, people would come from all directions. It would shake the Central Continent and attract many people to establish a sect with him.
"King-Sealing Ceremony, crowning with the king's crown." At this moment, on the King-Sealing Platform, an old man from the War King Academy personally crowned Ying Cheng with the king's crown. Instantly, light radiated in all directions, and the kingly aura spread out, dazzling in all directions. The younger generation all yearned for it. If one day they could also become kings, what glory that would be.
"Engrave the King-Sealing Stele." Another voice sounded. A statue was unveiled. The statue was of Ying Cheng. On the day he became king, his statue would stand in the area around the King-Sealing Platform.
On that statue was a stele, used for engraving words, but it was blank at the moment.
"Ying Cheng, if you achieve great accomplishments in the future, your deeds will be engraved on this statue's stele for future generations to admire. Of course, if you remain unknown for a hundred years without great deeds, your statue will be erased," a voice said slowly. Ying Cheng nodded slightly and said: "Ying Cheng will definitely fill the stele with inscriptions."
"Good. The War King Academy is watching," the old man said calmly, with a hint of expectation in his voice. Five hundred years had passed since the last king-sealing person. Five hundred years later, the Heavenly God Academy had produced another king-sealing person. They hoped he could achieve something and shake the Holy City.
