Lin Tian had taken out his Imperial Academy nameplate before, but the nameplate was only a proof of identity for a new student for the time being. There was no information about one's identity recorded in the nameplate, so Han He and Liu Lan did not know Lin Tian's true identity. It was only when Xu Zhou heard the news and hurried here, informing them of Lin Tian's identity, that the two of them finally reacted.
"This …"
Both of them smiled bitterly. Was this the peerless genius from Fengjian City?
This was not easy to deal with!
With a keng sound, killing intent interweaved, the cold peak pressing towards Lin Tian.
"Leng Feng, stop!"
Han He said.
Leng Feng's face darkened. His eyes were as sharp as blades, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. "He killed my younger brother!" Leng Yitong was not very talented, and he did not do much. Even so, he was still his younger brother. When his younger brother was killed in front of him, the murderous intent in his eyes surged like a fountain. It was terrifying.
"He has the Dragon Mark Token."
Liu Lan said.
Liu Lan's words stunned many of the onlookers.
Didn't that mean that Lin Tian was innocent?
However, many people felt relieved after thinking about it. Lin Tian took out the Dragon Mark Medallion, which represented the Imperial Clan. He could pardon anyone once, including themselves. Even the elders of the Northern Flame Imperial Academy had to give some face to the Imperial Clan. Of course, these people did not know that what shook Han He and Liu Lan the most was Lin Tian himself.
A sixteen-year-old with a nine-star talent and a third-stage array manipulator. How could they kill such a freak?
If they killed him, it would be a great loss to them!
Leng Feng held onto his treasured sword tightly, but he was stunned. He stared at Lin Tian with a murderous look. He knew about the Dragon Mark Token. It was a symbol of the imperial family's authority. Although he did not know how Lin Tian obtained it, if he killed Lin Tian now, it would cause a lot of controversy. It would embarrass the imperial family, and it would also bring bad influence to the Leng family. After all, it would be considered as openly disobeying the imperial family's authority.
Seeing that Leng Feng stopped, Han He and Liu Lan nodded.
Han He looked at Lin Tian and said, "Since you have the Dragon Mark Token, we'll let it go. However, don't do it again!"
"What about him?"
Lin Tiantan looked coldly at Leng Feng.
"What do you mean?"
Han He was slightly puzzled.
Lin Tiandao said, "As the supervisor of the new student assessment, the senior disciple of the imperial courtyard openly joined forces with the masters of his family to enter the Beast Demon Ridge to assassinate the new students of the imperial courtyard. What kind of punishment should the imperial courtyard give him?"
"Didn't you already kill Leng Yitong?"
Liu Lan frowned.
"Yes, I killed Leng Yitong. Therefore, I used the Dragon Mark Token to take the blame. Leng Feng is also one of the sinners. He openly assassinated a fellow disciple. What should he do?"
Lin Tianleng said coldly.
Hearing this, many of the onlookers could not help but gasp.
"This brother is really awesome!"
"Kill Leng Yitong, take out the Dragon Mark Token to take the blame, and then … ask the imperial courtyard to punish Leng Feng?"
"How domineering!"
Many senior disciples were dumbfounded.
Quite a number of new students widened their eyes. There was actually such a crazy person in the same batch of new students!
"Arrogant bastard!"
Xia Wu's face darkened.
Not far away, Du Hongxing harrumphed coldly as he stared at Lin Tian unhappily. With Lin Tianyi's arrival, his limelight was immediately overshadowed.
Han He and Liu Lan frowned and were at a loss for words.
"This …"
Logically speaking, if what Lin Tian said was true, the Northern Flame Imperial Courtyard should punish Leng Feng. However, Leng Feng was the young master of the Leng family, ranked seventh on the Honor Roll Board, and a rare expert in the imperial courtyard. Moreover, Leng Yitong had just been killed. If they were to punish Leng Feng now, it would be difficult for them.
On the martial arts stage, Leng Feng stared at Lin Tian with killing intent.
"Let's have a battle of life and death, one on one. Are you satisfied?"
Leng Feng said coldly.
Lin Tianyi's face was filled with disdain as he said coldly, "Battle of life and death? Why? We're both students of the imperial courtyard. You failed to assassinate me, and now you have the cheek to propose a battle of life and death to settle this matter? Are all the people of the Leng family so shameless?! "
Leng Feng's face turned even colder as killing intent surged.
"Enough!" Han He shouted. He looked at Lin Tian and said, "How about this, we can't just listen to your words. The imperial courtyard will investigate this matter thoroughly before making a decision."
"Are you trying to stall for time?"
Lin Tiantan smiled.
"You …"
Han He's face turned green with anger. This brat is really a thorn in my side. He doesn't give me any face at all.
Just as Han He was about to say something, Lin Tian shook his head.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter whether the imperial courtyard punishes him or not. I, Lin Tian, have always liked to solve my own problems." As he spoke, Lin Tianleng looked at Leng Feng coldly. "I'll let you know the consequences of messing with me. Today, Leng Yitong is lying on the ground. Soon, it will be your turn."
Everyone around the martial arts stage was stunned.
"He … he's called Lin Tian?"
"This brat, could he be a prince hiding his identity and coming to the imperial courtyard to play?"
"He's too arrogant!"
Not only did he not kill Leng Yitong, he even threatened Leng Feng in public. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Leng Feng. This was too crazy. The onlookers around the martial arts stage were dumbfounded. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Leng Feng's face was extremely ugly. A strong sense of humiliation rose within him. He had never been so humiliated in his life. He only felt that Lin Tianyi had slapped him a few times. At this moment, if Lin Tian had not taken out the Dragon Mark Token, he would have rushed over and torn Lin Tian into pieces without caring about anything else.
Han He and Liu Lan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Sure enough, this brat was a super thorn in their side!
"Elders, am I officially admitted into the imperial courtyard?"
Lin Tian asked.
At this moment, Lin Tian did not care about Leng Feng at all. If he was stronger, he would have swung his knife at Leng Feng. Unfortunately, he still felt that there was a huge gap between him and Leng Feng. He was definitely not a match for him in a direct confrontation.
"Yes! Why not? "
Han He said with a straight face.
How could such a brat be pushed out of the courtyard?
"Then, what about the ranking battle?"
"There's no need to fight anymore. The ranking battle ends here. You're ranked third among the freshmen!" Liu Lan also had a straight face. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhou who was below the martial arts arena and said, "You'll be in charge of the person you recruited for the time being. Bring him to choose a place to stay and tell him some things about the imperial courtyard. Do you understand?"
Leng Yitong's death was not a small matter. It had to be dealt with properly.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! "
Xu Zhou nodded repeatedly.
Han He looked at Lin Tian and said, "Alright, go with Xu Zhou."
Lin Tian nodded and glanced coldly at Leng Feng. He leaped down and came to Xu Zhou's side.
"Thank you, senior."
He said.
Xu Zhou shook his head and quickly left with Lin Tian.
There was dead silence around the martial arts arena. Staring at Lin Tian's back, Leng Feng's eyes were full of murderous intent. He clenched his fists tightly and wished he could devour Lin Tian bit by bit. Beside him, Han He and Liu Lan looked at Leng Feng's expression and glanced at Leng Yitong's body. They could not help but smile bitterly. It seemed that this matter was not over yet.
"He's, that, Lin Tian? He's so handsome, so cool! "
Some female disciples were infatuated.
Many people also stared in the direction Lin Tian left. The scene just now was still replaying in their minds. Killing the young master of the Leng family, taking out the Dragon Mark Token, and intimidating Leng Feng. This series of actions was too shocking!
…
At this time, Lin Tian had already walked far away with Xu Zhou.
"Little ancestor, you're really good at causing trouble. You've just entered the imperial courtyard and you've already caused such a big incident."
Xu Zhou's face was bitter.
The young master of the Leng family, Leng Yitong, was killed by Lin Tian in front of everyone in the freshmen ranking battle. This matter was really big.
"I had no choice. He wanted to kill me, so I could only fight back."
Lin Tian shook his head.
Xu Zhou said, "That's true, but this is the imperial city. As the saying goes, even a strong dragon cannot defeat a snake in its own territory. Moreover, the Leng family's power is astonishing. They can be considered as a fierce dragon in the imperial city. When it's necessary to back down, we should still back down a little."
"They're already here to kill me. How can I back down? If I back down this time, there will be a next time, and a next time. Am I going to let them take the initiative and continue to hunt me down? I'm not going to do such a boring thing. "
Lin Tian andao.
Xu Zhou was stunned. He smiled bitterly and nodded. "You're right." Shaking his head, Xu Zhou said, "Forget it. Mu Qingshi and Shi Dong are not worried about you at all. I guess they must know something. I won't worry about it anymore. Come this way, I'll take you to choose a residence first, then I'll introduce you to the imperial courtyard."
"Okay, I'll have to trouble Senior."
"What trouble? Recruiting a peerless genius like you, I've gained a lot of benefits."
Xu Zhou laughed.
The Northern Flame Imperial Courtyard was the highest Martial Palace in the Northern Flame Country. There were many buildings inside, covering a large area. Lin Tian followed Xu Zhou and soon arrived at the residence of the imperial courtyard's disciples. Each house was large, and the environment was quiet.
"Worthy of the imperial courtyard."
Lin Tian said with a smile.
In this place, any random house was much better than the Nine Yang Martial House's Inner Palace Disciples' residences. Moreover, the distance between the houses was not short. The concealment was done very well, so there was no need to worry about being spied on.
"Most of the imperial courtyard's disciples' residences are here. You can choose one first."
Xu Zhou said.
"Okay."
Lin Tian nodded.
Looking around, Lin Tian finally chose a house next to a huge old tree.
After choosing his residence, Lin Tian invited Xu Zhou into the house. He looked at Xu Zhou and asked, "Senior, you said that most of the imperial courtyard's disciples' residences are here. What does that mean? Are there other residences? "
Xu Zhou secretly praised Lin Tian's sensitivity. "That's right. The Northern Flame Imperial Courtyard has a long history. From bottom to top, it is roughly divided into the Outer Courtyard, Inner Courtyard, and King's Courtyard. The residences and conditions of the disciples of each courtyard are different. This is the Outer Courtyard's residence. The Inner Courtyard and King's Courtyard are in other places."
"Outer Courtyard, Inner Courtyard, King's Courtyard … I see." Lin Tian nodded. He thought for a while and asked, "Then, Senior Xu, how do the new disciples enter the Inner Courtyard from the Outer Courtyard, and how do they enter the King's Courtyard from the Inner Courtyard?" Lin Tian had cultivated in the Nine Yang Martial Palace before. He knew that the higher the level, the more cultivation resources one would receive. Therefore, he naturally had to ask about this.
