emaining three Taolings to three people.The number of pills successfully refined in alchemy, also has a bit of chance involved. Sometimes there are more, sometimes fewer, with the highest being twelve...Everyone turned to see a disheveled soldier charging in at incredible speed toward Song Jian.

"Grand Marshal, urgent message from three thousand miles away. The Wolf Fang City has been attacked by barbarians..."

Song Jian is not only the Prince of Anshun, but also the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Army of the Tianfeng Empire. This soldier came from the Tianlang City outpost as a messenger. Urgent military intelligence like this is to be reported to him.

Since this dispatch was only urgent and did not require confidentiality, and his mood was extremely urgent, he shouted from afar.

And so, everyone present could hear clearly, and all of them changed their expressions dramatically.

All the audience present were residents of the Tianfeng Empire. They had been plagued by barbarian incursions for years and naturally knew how ferocious their enemies were.

As a result, when everyone heard this news, their emotions immediately cooled down from their previous excitement, and even some people showed expressions of fear.

Ye Bufan didn't know these things. Although he came from Tianlang City, he had never fought against the barbarians and didn't know what they looked like.

Song Jian took the military intelligence report from someone's hand and read it from beginning to end. His expression seemed very serious, but a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

This guy, although cunning, is a seasoned veteran. He has no fear of barbarians.

On the contrary, he was filled with excitement, feeling that this military intelligence report had arrived at just the right time.

After finishing his report, he bowed to the young emperor and Hua Ziyue: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the barbarian chieftain, Mang Wang, personally leads an army of 300,000 to attack Tianlang City."

"The situation is now critical. The Lord of Ti Lang City, Zhai Tianbang, has sent a messenger three thousand miles to urgently request troop reinforcements..."

Upon hearing that barbarians had attacked, the young emperor immediately turned to his imperial grandmother beside him. He was only about ten years old and had no opinion on such matters.

Hua Zi Yue's mood was also quite heavy, but she remained relatively calm.

"Prince Anshun, let's announce the competition results first, and then we'll discuss the matter of deploying troops."

Most people weren't surprised by Huazimuet's decision, as the competition had already ended and announcing the results wouldn't make much difference anyway.

But Song Jian didn't think so. Having finally gotten a chance to go to heaven, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

He said, "Your Majesty, I think the military situation is urgent. This result should not be announced hastily, and the competition should be suspended."

Hua Zi Yue sank her face and asked, "Why Wasn't the competition already over And announcing just one result wouldn't take too much time, it wouldn't affect the army..."

(To be continued, please turn the page)

"love."

"Your Majesty, the situation is this: as the saying goes, 'When a nation prospers, everyone shares in its glory; when it falls into ruin, everyone bears responsibility.' Since barbarians have invaded our Heavenly Peak Empire, each and every one of us present here has a duty to defend our homes and country."

Those who can participate in the newcomer ranking match are all elites from my Tiānfēng Empire. This kind of thing is even more of their duty.

Before, when the world was peaceful, there was nothing wrong with our way of competing. But now, with strong enemies invading and people suffering greatly, even the very survival of my Tiānfēng Empire is threatened.

Stand-alone tournaments don't really tell us much, maybe the rules of this competition should be changed.

I suggest we void the previous competition results and hold a new one. I will immediately take all the participants to Tianlang City to defend against the enemy.

By then, whoever slays the most barbarians will have made the greatest contribution to the people of my Tianfeng Empire. They will be the ultimate victor and have the qualifications to represent my Tianfeng Empire in the newcomer ranking tournament.

When he finished speaking, there was an uproar among the audience.

Now that the competition is over, if we follow Song Jian's words, it means completely overturning the previous results.

The crowd at Cang Feng Academy was naturally ecstatic, and the people from the Tianfeng Empire's royal family also showed expressions of joy. This gave them another opportunity.

Everyone in Lingxiao Academy, however, wore expressions of anger. This was tantamount to completely erasing their previous achievements.

Ye Bufan frowned. This Song Jian had been cheating since the beginning of the competition, and now he wanted to completely overturn the results. He was truly shameless.

This is just like playing cards. At the beginning, you might try to cheat by switching cards, but in the end, when it's clear that those tricks won't work, you just slam the table and give up.

Hua Zi Yue resolutely refused, "This won't work. The previous competition rules were announced publicly, so we can't go back on our word now."

"Your Majesty, the barbarian invasion threatens the very existence of our Tianfeng Empire. It concerns the lives and well-being of every citizen. If this name of treachery is to be borne, let it be mine, Song Jian's alone."

After Song Jian finished speaking, he put on a passionate expression. "Your Majesty, I implore you, allow the students participating in the ranking competition to go to Tianlang City to fight against the barbarians, protect our human race, and protect our Tiānfēng Empire!"

"It's utterly shameless!"

Ye Bufan cursed inwardly, but he also admired Song Jian's cunning and ruthlessness.

He was the one who instigated it all, yet he pretended to be acting for the country and the people, with great righteousness.

At the same time, he also bound the human race, the Tianfeng Empire, and himself together, completely standing on the moral high ground. This left Hua Zi Yue with no room to object.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

"This…"

Indeed, originally Huaziziyue wanted to strongly oppose it, but now she couldn't even utter a word.

She and the young emperor were able to maintain their position, and Song Jian dared not act rashly, because of the support of some loyal soldiers in the army and the people throughout the land.

At this moment of crisis, with barbarians invading, openly opposing Song Jian's opinion would mean standing against the entire Tianfeng Empire and the human race. The consequences of such an action would be disastrous.

If she agreed like that, she would feel a little bit unsatisfied.

Seeing her hesitation, Song Jian's lips curled into a slight sneer as he winked at the Tianfeng Empire royal family and Cang Feng Academy beside him.

Song Yaoji immediately understood her father's meaning. She took a step forward and said in a righteous voice: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, as a member of the royal family, I am willing to fight for the country!"

Being desperate, Feng Xingkong naturally wouldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and stepped forward.

"The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility. All members of Cangfeng Academy are willing to fight for the Tianfeng Empire. We respectfully request permission from Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager!"

The two of them also stepped forward to speak, immediately putting Hua Zi Yue in a position of being cornered. At this point, if she refused again, she would truly be standing against the entire Tianfeng Empire and its people.

Faced with no other choice, she could only glance at Ye Bufan, trying to figure out what he meant.

"I, Lingxiao Academy, am willing to fight for the Tianfeng Empire!"

At this moment, Ye Bufan knew the situation was beyond saving. He stepped forward without hesitation.

Although Song Jian had tricked him in this round, he was confident enough to know that if they played again, he would definitely win.

Now that I have an eighth-order monster, the Azure Flood Dragon, standing behind me, I'm not afraid of any tricks they might try to pull.

Seeing that Ye Bufan agreed, Hua Ziyue no longer insisted: "Well then, let's change the rules of the competition as you said."

"The Empress Dowager is wise!"

Song Jian couldn't help but grin, then addressed the crowd, "I announce that all previous competition results are nullified, and the rules for the new player rankings will be changed."

The Tianfeng Imperial Family, Cangfeng Academy, and Lingxiao Academy will jointly go to Tianlang City to fight against the barbarians. Whoever gains the most military merit will be the ultimate victor.

After announcing, he turned his head and bowed to the platform of spectators.

"Now barbarian hordes invade, violating our borders, plundering our people. I implore Your Majesty to lead the army personally, invigorate our soldiers' morale, and raise high the glory of the Tianfeng Empire!"
