"It's Chen Feng from Class 3!"
"First Level of the Martial Master Realm! A genius with the S-Class Martial Soul Gale Demon Wolf!"
"Why are they here? Class 3 is an elite class!"
"They definitely heard about Xiao Han and came to watch the show!"
Students from the elite classes always held a natural sense of superiority over those in the ordinary classes. Chen Feng's arrival made the already somewhat chaotic scene even more stirred up.
Seeing Chen Feng, Zhou Kai frowned imperceptibly, but still stepped forward and said politely, "Classmate Chen Feng, what brings you all here..."
Chen Feng didn't look at Zhou Kai at all, his gaze still falling on Xiao Han, carrying unmasked provocation and contempt:
"Nothing, just heard your Class 7 produced a 'theoretical genius' whose actual combat is also very impressive, and came specially to witness it."
He emphasized the four characters "theoretical genius", and the mockery was utterly full.
"Sixth Level of the Warrior Realm, killing the ninth-level peak with a single punch? Heh, this kind of ghost story only fools wastes like you in the ordinary classes."
Chen Feng let out a scoff, his gaze as sharp as a knife, "Kid, dare to exchange a couple of moves with me? Let me see whether you actually have skills or only know how to blow hot air!"
Swish!
As soon as these words came out, the entire crowd broke into an uproar once again!
Chen Feng, a genius of the First Level of the Martial Master Realm, was actually naming Xiao Han to challenge him!
This was no longer a sparring match; this was clearly coming to smash the place! This was an elite class crushing an ordinary class!
Everyone's heart jumped up, their gazes sweeping back and forth between Chen Feng and Xiao Han.
One at the First Level of the Martial Master Realm, one (on the surface) at the Sixth Level of the Warrior Realm—the gap was far too vast! It was simply like one in the sky and one under the earth! Even if Xiao Han was monstrous, it was impossible for him to span an entire major realm, right?
Lei Ming's lackeys relit hope in their eyes, gloating as they looked at Xiao Han. Let you be arrogant just now! Now you've run into a tough nut, haven't you! Let's see how you die!
Zhou Kai's expression changed, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to stop it, he saw Xiao Han raise his eyelids and look at Chen Feng, his expression still carrying little ripple.
Right at this moment, inside Xiao Han's mind, the familiar system prompt tone rang out.
[Ding! Detected that the host faces provocation, the God-Level Choice System triggers!]
[Choice One: Refuse the challenge, swallow one's breath and swallow insults. Reward: 'Ninja Turtle' title (after wearing, defense power is slightly increased, taunt value +100%), ordinary Qi-Blood Pill x1.]
[Choice Two: Accept the challenge and publicly defeat the challenger Chen Feng. Reward: Special item 'Breakthrough Talisman' (can ignore bottlenecks, forcibly raise by one small realm, effective below the Martial King realm), proficiency of "Annihilation Divine Fist" increased!]
Xiao Han: "..."
System, your reward—is it out of fear that I won't choose two? Ninja Turtle title? Taunt value +100%? Is this thinking I don't have enough trouble?
And that Breakthrough Talisman, forcibly raising by one small realm? This gadget was simply heaven-defying!
As for the proficiency increase of the "Annihilation Divine Fist", that was even more what he urgently needed at present.
There was simply no choice to be made!
"Yes."
Amidst the gazes of everyone, some worried, some sympathetic, and some gloating, Xiao Han spat out two words, his voice not loud, yet clearly spreading across the entire training ground.
Calm, detached, as if Chen Feng was not a genius of the Martial Master Realm, but merely an ordinary passerby who casually struck up a conversation on the roadside.
Hearing Xiao Han's such crisp and neat reply, Chen Feng was also slightly taken aback, and immediately the contempt in his eyes grew even heavier:
"Heh, you've got guts! Then let's go to the Central Combat Arena, Ring Number 3. Don't say I bullied you—I'll let you prepare for half an hour first."
He felt that Xiao Han was simply a dead duck with a stiff beak, completely unaware of that uncrossable chasm between the Martial Master Realm and the Warrior Realm.
Just right, in front of more people, he would thoroughly crush this kid who didn't know the height of heaven and earth, and also let those fellows in the ordinary classes face reality!
"No need for half an hour." Xiao Han shook his head, "Right now is fine."
Finished speaking, he no longer paid heed to the dumbfounded Chen Feng and the surrounding shocked students, heading straight toward the outside of the training ground.
"..." Watching Xiao Han's departing back, Chen Feng's expression turned a shade of green and white. This kid could really put on a show as ******* hell! When we reach the ring, let's see how I torment you! He cold-snorted, leading his people and following closely behind as well.
Zhou Kai opened his mouth, and in the end said nothing, only deeply taking a look at Xiao Han's back, his gaze complex, and finally he also quickly kept pace.
The students of Class 7 looked at each other in dismay, and in the end also poured out like a tidal wave.
Sixth Level of the Warrior Realm VS First Level of the Martial Master Realm!
Ordinary Class Dark Horse VS Elite Class Genius!
This news, as if it grew wings, spread with astonishing speed among the freshmen of the Imperial Capital Academy!
The Central Combat Arena was the place specially used by the Imperial Capital Academy for official bouts between students and resolving grudges.
The venue was much larger than the ordinary training ground rings, with spectator stands surrounding it that could accommodate thousands of people.
When Xiao Han and Chen Feng arrived at Ring Number 3, it was already crowded with students who had hurried over upon hearing the news.
Not only were there a large number of freshmen, but even quite a few senior students wearing upperclassmen uniforms had been attracted over by this mismatched duel.
The spectator stands were bustling with noise and voices discussing spiritedly.
"Did you hear? That Xiao Han from Class 7 is going to challenge Chen Feng from Class 3!"
"Who is Xiao Han? Never heard of him."
"It's that fierce guy who got a perfect score on the theory test and then took down Lei Ming with a single punch!"
"Holy ****! Really or fake? Sixth Level of the Warrior Realm taking down the ninth-level peak in one punch? This battle record is a bit fierce!"
"Fierce my ass! A piece of trash like Lei Ming is just scum in front of Chen Feng! The Martial Master Realm and the Warrior Realm are two concepts!"
"That's right, spiritual power turning into gang qi, condensing martial intent—the methods of the Martial Master Realm are simply not something the Warrior Realm can imagine!"
"For this Xiao Han to dare accept the challenge, either he truly has a trump card, or he's an idiot."
"I reckon eight parts out of ten it's the latter, his brain washed by victory."
"A good show to watch! Let's make a wager—I bet Chen Feng settles the battle within ten moves!"
"Ten moves? You think way too highly of that kid; I bet three moves!"
Almost no one looked favorably upon Xiao Han.
After all, the gap between the Martial Master Realm and the Warrior Realm was a universally acknowledged huge chasm, with few able to cross it.
Under countless gazes, Xiao Han and Chen Feng respectively walked up onto the wide and sturdy Ring Number 3.
Chen Feng stood in the center of the ring, arms crossed over his chest, the momentum of the First Level of the Martial Master Realm unreservedly released.
Forming an invisible wind pressure, it made the close-by spectators feel their breathing hitch. His gaze was aloof, looking at the opposing Xiao Han as if viewing an ant.
As for Xiao Han, he still maintained that calm and detached appearance, his aura restrained, as if he could not feel the other party's formidable pressure.
Only, deep within his calm eyes, a trace of an imperceptible sharp radiance flashed quietly.
The Martial Master Realm, is it?
Just right.
Beating Lei Ming just now didn't even count as a warmup.
This time, perhaps he could get slightly serious.
The spiritual power within his body, under the operation of the Creation-Heaven-Penetrating Art, was like a dormant giant dragon, beginning to slowly awaken.
The twin martial souls of the Eternal Night Monarch and the Chaos Green Lotus also began to vibrate slightly, ready at any moment to erupt with earth-shattering power.
Let his first battle at the Imperial Capital Academy be declared by the defeat of a Martial Master Realm genius!
The referee teacher below the ring glanced at the two confronting each other, and after confirming that both sides were prepared, announced in a deep voice:
"Duel, begin!"
