On the playground of Jiangnan City No. 6 Middle School!
At this time, Class 6 of the senior year was having a practical combat training lesson.
The course had been added ever since everyone awakened their abilities.
Now, 90% of their classes were practical combat training. In contrast, there were very few theory classes about martial artists, just one a day.
"Next, everyone, spar with one another and test the results of your training."
After hearing the teacher in charge of the practical combat class finish speaking, many of the students were eager to try.
That was especially true of Qin Hao's archrival, who stared at him with a malicious smile.
"Hmph, Qin Hao, do you dare spar with me? I've just about finished cultivating the Lightning Fist you sold me last time. You have a Lightning-Type ability too, don't you?"
Hmph, Qin Hao, Qin Hao, I didn't expect you to have a Lightning-Type ability too. I was struck by lightning for no apparent reason last time. It was probably you, wasn't it?
Good. I'd like to see whether you have some better Lightning-Type cultivation technique, since you actually sold me the Lightning Fist.
The thought of the Lightning Fist filled Zhao Hu's face with smugness, because he believed he hadn't lost out—Qin Hao had.
He had discovered that the Lightning Fist was very powerful, and its punches were fast, too.
For a technique like this, it was hard to say whether a million would be enough to buy it at auction.
As Zhao Hu thought about it, he looked at Qin Hao as though he were an idiot.
The moment Qin Hao saw Zhao Hu's expression, he knew the guy was holding in no good farts. He said, "Great genius, you're an S-rank talent, yet you're asking someone with an F-rank talent like me to spar. You really have no shame!"
"Hahahaha, S-rank talent? That's killing me!"
Cao Shuai, who was nearby, burst out laughing when he heard Qin Hao's words.
In fact, Zhao Hu was the one who had awakened his ability after Qin Hao that day. His talent rank had been wrong; it wasn't S-rank at all, but B-rank, the same as Cao Shuai's.
"What are you laughing at? The testing device made a mistake, not me!"
Zhao Hu felt helpless too. After all, he had been very disappointed when his second test showed he was only B-rank.
"Tch, I wonder who it was that showed off in front of everyone every day after awakening his ability, and even threatened us!"
At this point, the other students started talking among themselves too.
"Hmph, Qin Hao, I suggest you agree to spar with me. Otherwise, when school ends this afternoon, you'll really regret not sparring with me!"
Zhao Hu was furious and wanted to find someone to vent on, so his tone carried a hint of threat.
Qin Hao had originally thought that, with his Legendary Talent, he didn't want to beat up a weakling like Zhao Hu, who only had a B-rank talent.
But Zhao Hu actually dared threaten him, so he said, "Fine, come on. I'd like to see how well you've cultivated the Lightning Fist!"
At the mention of the Lightning Fist, Zhao Hu said smugly, "What's the matter, Qin Hao? Do you regret selling it to me? Honestly, I should thank you. Otherwise, how could I have bought such a good technique for just 400,000?"
"Cut the crap. I'd already learned the technique I sold you, so I sold it to you cheap. Come on, didn't you want to spar?"
Qin Hao stood up and took a fighting stance as he spoke.
"No way. Qin Hao has an F-Rank Talent, but he actually dared agree to spar? He's asking for a beating, isn't he?"
"Exactly. Zhao Hu has a B-rank talent, at least!"
Listening to his classmates' discussion, Qin Hao remained calm, the corner of his mouth curling slightly.
Cao Shuai, however, looked worried. "Brother Hao, how about I take your place?"
"Fatty, just stay there and enjoy the show. I'll be fine!"
Qin Hao spoke calmly.
"Oh! Qin Hao, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. Enjoy the show? You mean the show of me beating you to a pulp?"
The teacher of the class was looking over at them now, but he neither said anything nor stopped them.
And so, the two of them started fighting.
Both condensed lightning around their fists, then clashed fiercely.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of fists striking rang out in a steady rhythm, like a machine gun.
In just ten seconds, the two had already exchanged several rounds of blows.
Qin Hao hadn't used his full strength at all. On the contrary, he was doing his utmost to hold back.
After all, his Lightning-Type Ability came from a Legendary Rank talent. To put it plainly, it was legendary-rank lightning.
Just a wisp of it was already tens of thousands of times stronger than ordinary lightning.
After all, an ability with a Legendary Talent released a full 10 quadrillion ∑ of energy at full power.
Although only ten seconds had passed, Zhao Hu was already exhausted. His spiritual power was almost depleted.
"Hmph! Qin Hao, my spiritual power is almost gone, so yours must have hit rock bottom by now. Let's see how you keep going!"
With that, Zhao Hu charged forward again and fought Qin Hao.
Another rhythmic series of punches rang out.
This time, after just three seconds, Zhao Hu's spiritual power ran out, while Qin Hao seemed to have used almost none at all.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Every one of Qin Hao's punches landed on Zhao Hu without a single miss.
"Pfft!"
Zhao Hu spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
With a bang, Zhao Hu slammed heavily onto the hard concrete and skidded a long way across the ground.
Even his clothes had been scraped through, to say nothing of his body.
The sight made everyone watching feel their bones go weak.
"Cough, cough! No, impossible! How could an F-rank talent be this strong? Impossible! Cough, cough, cough..."
Enduring the pain, Zhao Hu stared at Qin Hao in disbelief as he spoke.
All the students' eyes widened, and they were very puzzled too.
Qin Hao clearly had an F-rank talent, so why was he so strong?
At that moment, the practical combat teacher standing nearby was also staring at Qin Hao in shock.
"B-Brother Hao, is your talent really only F-rank?"
Cao Shuai asked, puzzled as well.
Seeing this, Qin Hao hurriedly pretended he could barely stand. Holding his head, he said, "Fatty, quick, hold me up. I'm so dizzy, and I don't have any strength left!"
"Tch, I knew it. There's no way someone with an F-rank talent could thrash someone with a B-rank talent! He was forcing himself to hold on."
"Exactly. Zhao Hu is so embarrassing. He has no stamina at all!"
Only then did some of the students see the light and start muttering.
Zhao Hu still looked unwilling to accept it. He believed he had simply been careless; if he had held on a little longer, Qin Hao would have been the one injured.
Cao Shuai helped Qin Hao sit down at the side, then mocked Zhao Hu. "Zhao Hu, you're no good. You need to build up your body. You have no stamina at all!"
"You damn fatty, you..."
"You what? Want to spar with me?"
Cao Shuai was extremely cocky and smug, as though he were the one who had defeated Zhao Hu.
However, the teacher nearby watched the scene and pondered to himself.
Something's not right. No matter how hard someone with an F-rank talent forced himself to hold on, he still couldn't be stronger than someone with a B-rank talent, could he?
Does this student Qin Hao really have an F-rank talent? Could it be Legendary Rank?
