One mountain is higher than another.

One real-world battle after another was held on the arena in the back playground.

Fortunately, there is only one person in the entire Yan'an Seven with such an outrageous talent for mental power as Su Nianyi.

However, nothing so outrageous happened in the other matches that followed.

Each person underwent individual tests of their Qi and Blood levels, strength, and speed before entering in an orderly fashion.

On this wide arena, students fought fiercely, and every now and then, injured students would be pulled out by teachers, and even the principal and Su Nianying, who were at the level of Outer Realm experts, using their spiritual power.

Li Xijun watched for a while but didn't show much interest.

During the second round, Zhou Yibai's sudden increase in his Qi and Blood level surprised him. It seemed that the other party had quietly increased his Qi and Blood level to 7.8.

I don't know what method or what kind of serendipitous encounter it was.

However, this only surprised Li Xijun, who possessed the mark of the Great Luo.

He himself possessed a treasure trove and had a limitless future, so he didn't care about the other party's progress and little secret.

Secondly, he watched Ye Liuyun's match for a while when he had some free time.

It must be said that the opponent's swordsmanship, which flowed like water, was indeed quite suitable for his martial arts and state of mind.

Even in this chaotic arena match, surrounded by multiple attackers, his swordsmanship remained as powerful as a surging river, blocking all attacks and carving out the winner of the arena with each strike.

Time passed little by little.

The battle continued until all ten arenas in the second round had determined their winners and losers.

The martial arts instructors at each arena blew their whistles to signal the start of the assembly.

"Everyone come over here quickly for blood and qi tests, speed and strength tests, get ready to enter."

The teachers' loud voices echoed far and wide across the entire playground.

When Li Xijun arrived at the 9th arena, many people had already taken their places, and those at the very front had already begun the testing.

As a member of the elite class of defenders on this stage, Zhou Shenghao naturally took the lead at the entrance of the stage and was the first to undergo the test.

"Zhou Shenghao, Qi and Blood Level: 8.7".

When the Qi and Blood levels were displayed on the screen, the expressions of the other 20-plus people on the vast arena changed.

Zhang Haifeng and the other teachers, sitting on the high platform above the football field-sized arena, all showed surprised expressions and began to discuss in hushed tones.

"If he can reach a Qi and Blood level of 8.7 by the end of the semester, he's definitely a top seed for the Nine Schools Alliance."

"Not only that, if we can successfully reach level 9.1 and maintain our progress, we might be able to challenge the capital for two days."

"I remember Zhou Shenghao didn't improve this fast before, did he? Both of the Zhou brothers have been performing quite well this semester."

Zhou Shenghao naturally didn't hear the teachers' discussion on the platform; he simply continued with his speed and strength tests as he pleased.

Speed: 19.1 meters per second; Punching power: 924 kilograms

Such results caused the faces of the students who took the test immediately afterward to change.

"We have a seed from the Nine Schools Alliance in our group."

"That's it, there's no suspense in this match anymore, right?"

"Hey, anyone want to team up? Let's take care of him first."

Many people are already whispering and discussing it.

The discussion intensified, especially after the martial arts students completed their tests quickly and found that they were all far behind Zhou Shenghao.

"Hey buddy, don't fight when we go up there. That defender is pretty tough. Let's team up and take him down first!"

A skinny guy who arrived later than Li Xijun patted him on the shoulder, also intending to recruit others to form an alliance.

In response, Li Xijun, who had already reached the blood pressure monitor at the door, smiled and said:

"You guys are too slow, let me do it."

After saying that, he walked into the vast arena. The blood and qi detector flashed red, and the corresponding text appeared on the big screen.

"Li Xijun, Qi and Blood Level: 8.1"

Suddenly, the name that appeared as the second name on the big screen attracted a lot of attention.

The skinny guy behind him, seeing the other's 8.1 health and mana level, couldn't help but say sourly:

"You think we're slow? With your 8.1 HP, you still can't beat their strength and... Holy crap!"

The sudden exclamation made the three girls behind him, who were chatting in a small group, frown.

However, when one of the girls saw the speed and strength displayed next to [Li Xijun]'s Qi and Blood level on the big screen, she let out the classic scream.

"Ahhh, ladies, look!"

"Oh my god, ladies, is the speed and strength testing equipment broken?"

"Aaaaaah, how could this happen?"

Because of those screams, it wasn't just the 20-odd people in the ring...

Even the teachers in the stands who were originally whispering to each other...

Even many students who had just finished their exams and were planning to find a stage to watch the competition gathered around out of curiosity and looked at the big screen.

"Speed ​​19.7 meters per second, punching power 966 kilograms."

As this string of data appeared coldly on the screen, a chorus of discussion immediately arose.

"Holy crap, is that speed and power right?"

"The Qi and Blood detector must be malfunctioning. This speed and power are almost at a Qi and Blood level of 9.0."

"Not a buddy! Is this right?"

"I remember now, isn't that the guy who made rapid progress in the first monthly exam of the semester, and who recently turned the tables on a Blood God Cult member with a Qi and Blood level of 9.0?"

"It's him! That genius who defeated the strong with the weak and fought against opponents of higher levels!"

As the story of the rebellion against the Blood God Cult cult members came to light, the students, who were mostly aware of it, were suddenly struck by a commotion.

This time, it wasn't just Ye Liuyun, Zhou Yibai, Su Nianyi, and others who were originally focused on the arena that were drawn in.

The martial arts students, who had just finished the first two rounds of the competition and were not seriously injured, curiously gathered around.

Even Su Nianying, who had been surveying the entire scene from the sky, landed beside Li Xijun.

She reached out and touched and pinched several places on his body.

This drew gasps from the students and some teenagers having inappropriate thoughts.

"Wow, you've actually made a name for yourself with your skills."

Su Nianying was somewhat surprised as she looked at Li Xijun's almost perfect body, which had been honed through countless trials.

"Just come find me later, no need to wait for the results to be released."

Having basically figured out the answer in her mind, Su Nianying finished speaking and then flashed back into the sky.

And just like Su Nianyi in the first round on stage number 1...

Li Xijun was the focus of intense attention from the 29 people inside the arena and the numerous martial arts students outside.

They genuinely enjoyed the attention they received.

He slowly and steadily walked to the center of the ring.

This made Zhou Shenghao, who was originally valued and treated with respect by everyone, feel like he had become just another face in the roadside.

He slowly tightened his grip on the tiger-headed broadsword, his sharp gaze fixed on Li Xijun, who had walked to the center of the arena, as he heard the competition instructor's countdown:

"3"

"2"

"1"

"start!"

The deafening gunshots echoed through the arena once again...
