When Your Fists Are Big Enough, That's All That Matters

"Don't worry. You know what I'm capable of, don't you? Even upperclassmen aren't my match." Jiang Qingtong reassured Wang Dong.

Seeing that Wang Dong had agreed and Xiao Xiao had no objections either, they accepted the arrangement.

Before long, the atmosphere in the class changed completely. A crowd gathered around Jiang Qingtong and the other two, begging them to go easy on them and let them pass.

Jiang Qingtong's response was that she would do her best not to make them lose too badly.

The next day, when the New Student Assessment began in the form of a Ring Tournament, the other New Student Classes erupted into an uproar. Many people began asking who was defending the ring.

When they learned that it was Jiang Qingtong—the freak among the new students whose first Soul Ring was already at the Thousand-Year level and who had defeated Xu Sanshi—many fell silent.

The homeroom teachers from several classes joined forces and went to Wang Yan, questioning the rules of this assessment.

However, Wang Yan did not bother explaining much. He simply invoked Cai Meier's name and sent them all away. If they had the guts, they could go make trouble with Cai Meier!

Upon hearing Cai Meier's name, those homeroom teachers finally calmed down and shut up. After returning, they began gathering information on Jiang Qingtong, only to quickly discover that there were very few records of her fighting. Other than her battle with Xu Sanshi, there was nothing at all!

They only knew that she was a Two Rings Soul Grandmaster with two Thousand-Year Soul Rings. Beyond that, there was not even any record of what her soul skills were!

As a result, everyone was left at a loss.

News also spread that the three students defending the ring would directly pass the New Student Assessment.

After learning that Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had both been chosen by Jiang Qingtong, the homeroom teachers began studying their information. Some of the other new students lamented why they had not been chosen, while others believed that a team of three Two Rings Soul Grand Masters was not all that formidable!

Jiang Qingtong was eating in the cafeteria when someone walked up to her. Feeling a shadow fall over her, she raised her head and looked blankly at the person before her. "Who are you?"

"I'm Ning Tian, from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Ning Tian looked at Jiang Qingtong and stated her identity.

Jiang Qingtong gave an oh, then asked, "Do you need something?"

Seeing that Jiang Qingtong was completely unmoved by her identity as a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian was somewhat surprised. She took a deep breath and said, "You actually didn't choose me as one of your ring-defending teammates. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one Support Martial Soul in the world!"

"You also wanted to pass the New Student Assessment directly? You have that little confidence in yourself?" Jiang Qingtong asked in return.

"Of course not! I have great confidence in my own strength!" Ning Tian shook her head in denial. Naturally, she had not come to find Jiang Qingtong just for the privilege of passing the New Student Assessment without taking it.

She was simply upset. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was clearly the number one support Tool Martial Soul in the world, and she, Ning Tian, was clearly the most qualified person to assist Jiang Qingtong in defending the ring. Yet Jiang Qingtong had chosen Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao from her own class instead, giving Ning Tian an inexplicable sense of frustration.

"I get what you mean." Seeing Ning Tian's expression, Jiang Qingtong suddenly understood. Then she added, "But we don't know each other!"

Ning Tian was momentarily speechless. Over the past few months, Jiang Qingtong had become famous among the new students after defeating Xu Sanshi, but while she was not exactly reclusive, she rarely showed herself before others.

Other than necessary classes, Jiang Qingtong trained with Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier, leaving her with very few opportunities to cultivate in the Outer Court.

As a result, she was unfamiliar with the vast majority of the Outer Court's new students.

Ning Tian looked at Jiang Qingtong's innocent face, which did not seem to be faking anything, and clenched her fists. "In the upcoming Ring Tournament, I'll make you understand that only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the Martial Soul best suited to stand beside the strong and support them!"

After throwing down those words, Ning Tian turned and left.

After Ning Tian left, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao came over with their trays and sat beside Jiang Qingtong. Xiao Xiao asked, "Who was that just now?"

"Ning Tian, someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." After answering, Jiang Qingtong lowered her head and continued eating.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? That's the number one Support Martial Soul in the world! It's really powerful." Xiao Xiao sighed in admiration after hearing Jiang Qingtong's reply.

Wang Dong was unconvinced. She snorted and said, "How powerful can it be? Don't worry, the three of us will definitely sweep the whole field! Then we'll make them understand—what good is a famous Martial Soul? When your fists are big enough, that's all that matters!"

"Mm! The Class Monitor is right!" Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement with Wang Dong.

Wang Dong laughed and continued, "After we finish eating, let's find a place where the three of us can familiarize ourselves with each other's Martial Souls and soul skills. That'll make it easier for us to coordinate during the Ring Tournament."

"I agree."

Xiao Xiao nodded, then added, "But we need to find somewhere more secluded. We can't let anyone else discover us! Otherwise, they'll hear all about our trump cards before we even start fighting."

"That's true." Wang Dong nodded, agreeing with Xiao Xiao.

Then Wang Dong looked at Jiang Qingtong and asked, "What do you think, Qingtong?"

Jiang Qingtong was still eating.

Wang Dong tapped on the table. "Stop eating! We're talking about something important."

Jiang Qingtong kept her head down and continued eating, mumbling indistinctly through her food, "Let's go to the Inner Court. No one will spy on us there."

Xiao Xiao frowned. "But how can we get into the Inner Court?"

"I have a Pass. Just follow me." After finishing her meal, Jiang Qingtong spoke to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

Upon hearing this, both Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were stunned. They stared at Jiang Qingtong, who had delivered the news with a calm expression. They had never heard of an Outer Court new student obtaining a Pass to the Inner Court!

Wang Dong lightly slapped the table and stared at Jiang Qingtong. "Tell me the truth. Are you the daughter of some important figure? Did you deliberately hide your identity and come to the Outer Court disguised as an ordinary new student?"

Jiang Qingtong looked at Wang Dong helplessly. "You really have quite the imagination."

"Then where did you get an Inner Court Pass?" Wang Dong asked with a frown.

"The dean and vice dean are my teachers." Jiang Qingtong casually dropped another bombshell.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both fell silent.

After a long while, Wang Dong finally said, "Now I know why Dean Cai decided to change the format of the New Student Assessment. It turns out it was to give you some practice!"

Xiao Xiao sighed. "Ah! I wish some important figure would take me as a disciple someday too!"

Wang Dong patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder. "Don't worry. Once we beat all those new students flat, some important figure will definitely take a liking to you and accept you as a disciple!"

Xiao Xiao waved her little fist. "Then let's work hard and beat them all flat!"

After eating, the two followed Jiang Qingtong to the Inner Court.
