# Chapter 1770: Threat
The War King Academy's decennial celebration was a grand event for the academy, one they took very seriously. Disciples of the academy would return from outside, and a few of the old antique figures who rarely showed themselves publicly in the War King Academy would appear. As for the elder figures from the Immortal Mountain Palace, many would also descend, making the occasion lively and extraordinary.
Although many people in the War King Academy were born into prestigious families, there were also martial artists from distant lands who had stepped into the Holy City Central Continent, wholeheartedly pursuing the path of the strong. For these people, if they had the opportunity to become a disciple of one of the academy's old antiques, it would definitely be a good thing. Even if they were only valued by an elder, they could still avoid many detours. And even for those from prestigious families, having more people to guide them was beneficial. Different strong individuals had different insights into the martial path; only by embracing all rivers could one forever move forward.
It was said that Ji Shang, the number one on the Heavenly King-Sealing List, a monstrous genius with the potential to become an enfeoffed king, had many old antique figures willing to guide him. Such a figure was a treasure to the academy, worthy of being carved and polished. In the future, he would make a name for himself across the Nine Heavens, shocking the world, and leave a glorious mark in the War King Hall of the War King Academy.
The weak and mediocre received no pity. Those who constantly strived to improve themselves, though they would encounter endless difficulties and obstacles, would also receive help from heaven and from others.
Lin Feng's new residence had already been designated as the Heavenly Terrace headquarters by 'Senior Sister' Yun Qingyan. At this moment, most of the Heavenly Terrace members were gathered here.
"The decennial celebration, with strong contenders from the Heavenly King-Sealing List clashing, will definitely be very lively," Great Pest said, his eyes flickering. Being able to witness strong warriors in battle was undoubtedly an exciting thing. Watching the battles would also allow him to gain many insights.
"You should think like Tantai," Lin Feng said, looking at Great Pest with a smile. "One day, you too can stand on that stage and shine with your own glory. That would be even more interesting."
Great Pest nodded shakily. "You're right. If I had such a day, how glorious would that be?"
"Ten years, Lin Feng. At the next decennial celebration, I wonder if any of us will be standing up there," Tian Chi said calmly. Ten years, for their current realm, was neither long nor short. After all, they were not too old. Ten years was already a considerable journey. But at their current realm, it was not impossible to stay at the Low-rank Emperor realm for ten years. Even with rapid cultivation, ten years would probably only allow one to step into the Mid-rank Emperor realm. As for going further, that would depend on opportunity.
"Ten years is too long. We must seize every moment," Lin Feng murmured softly. Then he stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother, let's go."
"Yes, ten years is too long. We must seize every moment," Tian Chi said thoughtfully, his gaze turning inward. He spoke calmly. As long as they fought for every moment, ten years later, there would be no regrets no matter what.
At the front of the martial arts arena where the celebration was being held, rows of honored seats had been erected, located directly in front of the various battle platforms. Everyone looked at those seats, understanding that they were prepared for some of the academy's old antiques and elder figures. And on the vast battle platform directly opposite these seats, many people were currently standing at the edges. Their auras were either restrained or surging, exuding a powerful presence.
"These people are all strong warriors from the Heavenly King-Sealing List. Only those on the Heavenly King-Sealing List can stand on this central battle platform. Today, anyone who wants to move their position on the Heavenly King-Sealing List can issue a challenge. After all, they don't usually appear frequently in the academy; they spend most of their time training outside."
Everyone thought to themselves. Most of the people on the Heavenly King-Sealing List were at the High-rank Emperor realm. Even when placed outside, they were considered quite powerful, only one realm away from achieving the Emperor position. Such figures naturally rarely appeared in the academy. They only came back when they needed new divine abilities, cultivation techniques, or intelligence from the academy.
As for the two battle platforms to the left and right of the central platform, they were prepared for the newcomers who had joined the War King Academy in the past ten years. Because their cultivation levels were different when they joined the academy, their current realms were naturally also different. However, High-rank Emperors were still relatively rare. After all, most people chose to participate in the four academies' assessments when they were at the Low-rank Emperor realm, and few waited until the High-rank Emperor realm.
When Lin Feng and his group arrived here, they found that the vast martial arts arena, constructed from multiple battle platforms, was almost filled with figures. They couldn't help but sigh with emotion. These people, no matter where they were placed, could be considered geniuses. But when they were all gathered here, they seemed no different from ordinary people. In the future, once they left the academy and reached various corners of the continent, each of them would have their own brilliance.
"I entered the War King Academy exactly nine years ago, so I can be on the same battle platform as you all," Yun Qingyan said with a smile. Although she was the daughter of a War King Academy elder, she still had to participate in the academy assessment. It had been nine years since she truly entered the academy.
When the group walked onto the battle platform to the left of the central platform, it caused quite a stir. Although Lin Feng was not yet very well-known throughout the entire War King Academy, within the circle of newcomers, because of the battle between the six people and his collision with Ji Wuyou, he had already gained considerable fame.
"Over there, where the elders are seated, my parents will be. I'll have them introduce you to some old antique figures. You need to prove yourself," Yun Qingyan said, nudging Lin Feng with a smile. Lin Feng's gaze was calm, without much fluctuation.
"You're about to face a great calamity, yet you're still unaware," a cold voice came from behind. Lin Feng and the others turned their heads and saw Puyang and Leng Xia standing there. These people were at the forefront of the Hidden King List: Human List, but they had also been in the academy for less than ten years.
"What, after being trampled into the ground, you still dare to speak arrogantly?" Tantai stared at Puyang and the others, not mincing words in his sarcasm.
Puyang was hit where it hurt by Tantai. His expression turned cold as he said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, you conceal your cultivation, but you're only at the Low-rank Emperor realm. Yet you still have the audacity to establish a sect, overestimating yourself. I want to see how you can maintain a sect."
"Is that any of your business?" Lin Feng's gaze turned cold as he swept it over Puyang.
"Naturally, it's none of my business. Whether the people of your Heavenly Terrace live or die has nothing to do with me. I'm just reminding you," Puyang said with a cold laugh. He swept his gaze over the Heavenly Terrace members and continued, "Haven't you noticed that among the first batch of core members of the sect you established, one person is missing?"
Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. He then swept his gaze around, and his eyes instantly turned icy cold. His pitch-black eyes stared at Puyang, murderous intent leaking out. "Where is Qin Wu?"
"Outside the city of the War King Academy, in the vast wilderness. If you want to go, we can lead the way," Puyang said with a cold smile.
"Despicable. You dare to kidnap someone outside the city?" Yun Qingyan's beautiful eyes changed color, and she also became angry.
"Yun Qingyan, although you are a strong warrior on the Earth List, you should also understand the rules of the War King Academy. Within the city of the War King Academy, only challenges are allowed. How would we dare to kidnap someone? Qin Wu voluntarily followed us. As for outside the city, in the wilderness, the academy's rules no longer apply."
"Lead the way," Yun Qingyan said coldly.
"Hmph, if you want to go, we will only take him," Puyang said, pointing at Lin Feng.
"No way," Yun Qingyan refused outright. "You want to use despicable means to surround and kill Lin Feng. If we go, we must all go together."
"Then forget it. When the celebration begins, some people will return here, and some will never come back," Puyang said with a cold snort.
"Ji Gate, how despicable and shameless," Tantai said angrily, his body emitting rolling explosive sounds.
"This is a private matter, unrelated to Ji Gate."
Lin Feng's pupils were icy cold. "I'll go with you."
"Lin Feng, you can't go. With these people's despicable nature, if you go, they will definitely join forces to kill you," Yun Qingyan advised.
"Don't worry, I'll return safely," Lin Feng said, stepping forward. He said to Puyang, "Lead the way."
"Let's go." Puyang and Leng Xia's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Then they led the way, and the three of them rolled away.
Behind them, at the back of the battle platform, a young man with sharp and murderous eyes stared at Lin Feng's departing figure.
"Shang Jun, aren't you going to take action yourself?" the young man beside him, Yu Wenhou, asked in a low voice.
"Shang Yu was killed by someone of the same realm. That was his incompetence. The incompetent dare to be arrogant; he deserved to die," Shang Jun said expressionlessly, his voice icy cold. This made Yu Wenhou's expression stiffen. This guy was indeed ruthless. Even towards his own younger brother, he said he deserved to die.
"Since that's the case, why have you been looking for him all this time?" Yu Wenhou asked.
"Even if Shang Yu deserved to die, he was still my younger brother. Only the people of my Shang family have the right to kill him. Others who dare to kill my younger brother naturally also deserve to die. You've arranged this matter properly, haven't you?" Shang Jun said coldly, as if he was like this to everyone.
"Don't worry. Since he's gone, he doesn't need to think about coming back alive," Yu Wenhou said, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Lin Feng was dead for sure. He didn't need to think about participating in this first decennial celebration!
