is no joke, is it?

Jiang Yuan's face appeared on the big screen, occupying half of the screen along with Liang Cheng's.

Below is his name and the logo of Chongming Martial Arts School.

This also means that he is indeed Liang Cheng's opponent.

"He's a disciple of the Chongming Martial Arts School? He's so handsome!"

"Jiang Yuan... I've never heard of him."

"He looks too young, like a high school student?"

"Is he also a martial artist who has changed professions?"

"He looks a bit weak."

"With his delicate skin, how could he possibly win? I bet he can't last three minutes."

"This little martial arts school is really trash; they don't even have a decent disciple..."

"Don't let it end in ten seconds, that would be too boring."

……

The onlookers were all talking about it, and none of them were optimistic about it.

Chen Hao scratched his head hard, "Oh no, oh no, this is terrible."

"What on earth is wrong with Genko that she would choose to fight an opponent like that?!"

Zeng Hang stared intently at Jiang Yuan on the stage.

He hadn't seen Huang Yi since the last awakening ceremony when he defeated him.

He's really changed a lot since I last saw him.

Yang Yuwei, who was sitting in the first row with Luo Xi, couldn't contain her joy when she saw this scene. She excitedly shook Luo Xi next to her, "It's that handsome guy from earlier! Xi Xi, look! So his name is Jiang Yuan."

Luo Xi looked at Jiang Yuan on the stage, her purple eyes gleaming behind her glasses.

That classmate named Liang Cheng is not worth paying attention to.

But it was him...

"Who do you think will win?" Yang Yuwei asked.

Luo Xi: "I don't know."

"Even a genius like you couldn't see that?" Yang Yuwei rested her chin on her hand. "Although I really wanted the handsome guy to win, that Liang Cheng guy just looked a bit too strong. Sigh... after all, looks can't be considered strength."

……

First row.

Roy, holding a handful of popcorn, said, "Little Yuanzi's opponent seems pretty strong too."

Lan Xue's voice was delicate and soft: "It's just a pity that he ran into Jiang Yuan."

Rena exclaimed in surprise, "Is he really that good?"

Luo Yi, Lan Xue, and Xu Yihan exchanged a glance, then smiled mysteriously, remembering that they hadn't told her about Jiang Yuan dealing 40,000 damage at LV2.

"You'll see when you see it."

Ji Feiyue's gaze never left Jiang Yuan, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

Even the darkest night cannot block the sun's brilliance.

The dark horse I've set my sights on, let the world see your strength...

……

The battlefield was empty.

"You're Jiang Yuan? I heard you're also from Wudao No. 1 Middle School."

Liang Cheng twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Yuan yawned, "Hurry up and fight, I'm in a hurry to get back and train."

Upon hearing his words, Liang Cheng felt slighted, his forehead veins bulging, and a fierce and cruel smile appeared on his face.

"There's no need for that. Because I'll break your bones so you can't even take the college entrance exam."

Jiang Yuan remained noncommittal, his eyes slightly closed, too lazy to pay him any more attention.

This attitude made Liang Cheng even angrier.

Elder Huo said, "Are you all ready? You can go all out in this match without holding back. The match will end as soon as one side is knocked off the stage or loses the ability to fight. If one side is in mortal danger, I will intervene to stop it."

"Thunder Martial Arts School VS Chongming Martial Arts School, let's begin!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Cheng, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, suddenly sprang up and rushed to Jiang Yuan at an extremely fast speed.

The audience erupted in deafening cheers, eagerly anticipating a thrilling match.

Liang Cheng rushed in front of Jiang Yuan, his right fist wreathed in dark red blood energy, and punched him in the face.

Jiang Yuan did not react.

"Didn't even react in time? What trash." He thought to himself with disdain.

"I'm wearing an accessory that can block mental attacks, so even if you wanted to use your mental abilities, it's too late now."

"it's over."

"Too slow." Jiang Yuan sighed, raising his hand to block Liang Cheng's seemingly inevitable punch.

Before he could react...

Jiang Yuan raised his foot and kicked him in the stomach.

Liang Cheng felt an extremely terrifying force pour into his abdomen, causing his internal organs to shift, yellow fluid to surge up, and his whole body to fly backward uncontrollably!

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!!"

In the eyes of the audience, less than three seconds into the battle, a figure flew out of the arena like a cannonball and crashed heavily into the wall, raising clouds of dust.

Looking at Liang Cheng lying in the rubble.

The entire room fell silent for a moment, as quiet as a library at night.

"That's... the end?"

"What exactly happened?"

"have no idea……"

"That's way too fast..."

"Isn't he the prodigy of Thunder Martial Arts Academy? How come..."

Chen Hao stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded.

Zeng Hang was also extremely shocked.

Liang Cheng, who had already become a first-tier martial artist, just like that... lost?!

……

"I should have won, right?" Jiang Yuan asked Old Huo.

Old Master Huo snapped out of his daze and looked at the handsome young man standing in the center of the room with surprise and emotion.

It's unbelievable that young people these days can cultivate their martial arts to such a level. That sudden burst of speed from slow to fast was truly astonishing.

"This competition is..."

"It doesn't count, it doesn't count this time!" Wang Xinlong couldn't help but shout.

Liang Cheng also scrambled up from the rubble, furious and embarrassed, and said, "I wasn't ready! You ambushed me! You despicable scoundrel!"

Jiang Yuan laughed, "You were the one who attacked me first, how is it that I am the one who ambushed you? Who's the despicable one here?!"

"I……"

Liang Cheng was speechless.

"That's right, that's right! You were the one who attacked us from behind!!"

Realizing what had happened, Yang Yuwei excitedly stood up and shouted, "Is your Thunder Martial Arts Academy a sore loser?"

Wang Xinlong glared at her fiercely, "Shut up, you outsider!"

The gaze of a third-tier martial artist was still quite intimidating, startling Yang Yuwei. Meanwhile, Luo Xi, who was protecting her, narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

Thunder Martial Arts School, huh? You've got some nerve.

Wang Xinlong had no idea that his casual remark had caused Thunder Martial Arts School a huge problem.

He turned to Elder Huo on the stage and said, "Elder Huo, this kid must have used some underhanded tricks. I request a rematch!"

Those who hadn't had enough started shouting and cheering.

"Rematch, rematch, rematch..."

Old Master Huo looked at Wang Xinlong seriously: "In martial arts competitions, it's either win or lose, and one bears the consequences of their own life or death. There's never a second chance. If this were on a battlefield, he would already be dead."

"You're asking me to start over now? Are you suggesting I throw away my martial arts dignity and my old face, and openly favor your Thunder Martial Arts Academy?"

Wang Xinlong: "I..."

A female voice rang out from the audience: "Old Huo is right. But if both sides agree, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Wang Xinlong was delighted upon hearing this and looked at the red-haired, aloof beauty who had spoken up in the audience.

"That's exactly right, miss."

Ji Feiyue turned to Xu Yihan beside her and said, "But why did Director Xu agree to another match? Director Wang, you should at least show some sincerity."

Wang Xinlong was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth.

"Then I'll increase the bet. If he wins again in the rematch, I'll admit defeat wholeheartedly and give your Chongming Martial Arts School a rare piece of equipment and a skill book. Is that alright?"

Xu Yihan glanced at Ji Feiyue, and seeing her nod, she said, "Okay."

On the stage, Elder Huo looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Young friend, what are your thoughts?"

Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly, "Whatever, let's have another match then. The result won't change anyway."

Wang Xinlong's eyes lit up with joy, and he shouted at Liang Cheng, "Liang Cheng, give it your all from the start this time! If you lose again, I won't let you off the hook!!"

"I was careless just now, I can't possibly lose this time!"

Liang Cheng gritted his teeth and said.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Liang Cheng returned to the field.

Yang Yuwei rested her chin on her hands and pouted, "This is just cheating."

Chen Hao sighed and rubbed his forehead, "That idiot Yuanzi, he won by luck and then ran away. Why did he keep fighting? Didn't you see that Liang Cheng didn't even use his skills or talents? Now that he's serious, how can we possibly win?"

Zeng Hang said, "Calm down. If I'm not mistaken, Jiang Yuan should already be a first-level martial artist."

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then his mouth dropped open. "Who did you say? Yuan Zi? A first-tier martial artist?!"

He stared blankly at Jiang Yuan on the field.

"Are you kidding me?"
