Challenge the Human Ranking

Lin Mu nodded slightly. "Okay! I understand!"

Ding Hongtao narrowed his eyes slightly. "You've got quite the nerve!"

"Do you think you're worthy of my attention?" Lin Mu retorted.

There was a hint of coldness in Ding Hongtao's eyes.

In his view, Lin Mu was only Martial Arts Exam Top Scorer, so what did he amount to compared to these Recommended Student?

If these people participate in the Martial Arts Exam, what chance will he have?

"People from small places are so short-sighted. They have no idea how brilliant the geniuses in this world are!"

"I, Ding Hongtao, started cultivating at the age of eight, reached the first level at ten, and the Second Order at fifteen. A year ago, I was recommended for admission to Sacred Origin Martial School!"

"What are you compared to me?" Ding Hongtao questioned.

Lin Mu's face showed disdain.

His previous cultivation speed was indeed not as fast as the other party's.

But now, his speed completely overwhelms Ding Hongtao's.

Noticing Lin Mu's gaze, Ding Hongtao's anger became even more pronounced.

"You fool who doesn't know what's good for him!"

Lin Mu's expression remained calm.

"Let's begin!" Ding Hongtao looked to the side.

One of the Staff Member in charge of the Arena battles performed a simple operation, and a pleasant sound rang out.

"The match at Arena 177 has begun. Both contestants, please prepare yourselves. No killing blows are permitted during the match, and the fight must cease immediately upon the opponent's surrender..."

As the voice faded, Ding Hongtao leaped forward, charging towards Lin Mu like Fierce Beast with astonishing speed.

Lin Mu remained calm in the face of his offensive.

Ding Hongtao's eyes were filled with a fierce look. He wielded his long staff, leaving afterimages as he attacked Lin Mu's vital points with astonishing force.

If you are hit, you will need to stay in bed for at least several months.

Lin Mu neither dodged nor evaded, watching the stick come hurtling towards him.

Some people in the audience showed obvious changes in their expressions.

In their view, wasn't Lin Mu being too arrogant?

They didn't react at all to Ding Hongtao's attack.

"This guy! Does he have a death wish?!"

Someone couldn't help but say.

"Ding Hongtao's staff skills are formidable, reaching the Gold Grade. If he were to land a hit, it wouldn't be a pleasant surprise!"

"I think he was completely terrified and had no idea how to react!"

"..."

While they were talking, Lin Mu suddenly moved. He clenched his fist with one hand and unleashed a powerful punch at Ding Hongtao.

Boom!

A powerful force followed.

Ding Hongtao spat out blood and flew backward.

He didn't even see clearly what Lin Mu's punch was all about.

He felt as if Lin Mu was a bolt of lightning, instantly shattering his offensive and striking him hard.

Ding Hongtao fell to the ground below the Arena, clearly feeling that several of his ribs had been broken.

With an injury like this, it would take several months to recover.

A moment of silence fell over the Arena.

Everyone who witnessed this scene looked on in disbelief.

After a while, a commotion broke out.

"Whoosh!"

"How is that possible! How did he do that?"

"He sent Ding Hongtao flying with just one punch! How did he do that?!"

"Holy crap! This guy is insane!"

"..."

Many people are discussing this.

There was also a look of shock in Bai Mo and the others' eyes.

If Lin Mu narrowly defeated Ding Hongtao based on his own strength, they would all think it was perfectly normal.

Because Lin Mu's cultivation speed is faster than theirs.

But Lin Mu killed Ding Hongtao in a single exchange.

Such strength was beyond their comprehension.

They all entered the academy together.

Why is Lin Mu so dazzling!?

"How did he do that?" Bai Mo couldn't help but ask.

The people next to her shook their heads slightly.

They didn't understand either.

In their eyes, Lin Mu was terrifyingly strong.

Su Yucheng and the others narrowed their eyes slightly, their expressions not very pleasant.

They wanted to observe Lin Mu's strength.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mu possessed such strength.

"This guy! Has he been hiding his true abilities all along?" Su Yucheng thought to himself.

Ye Fengmian, standing next to him, trembled slightly.

Compared to before, he has become even stronger!

Moreover, it's terrifyingly strong!

"Why? Why is this happening?" Ye Fengmian wondered to himself, unwilling to believe what he was seeing.

Lin Mu stood on the Arena, his expression calm.

His Blood Qi Value was much higher than Ding Hongtao's, and he had more combat experience. How could Ding Hongtao possibly be his match?

"Looks like all you're good at is talking!" Lin Mu said calmly.

Ding Hongtao was very dissatisfied, but dared not say anything.

The Staff Member in charge of the Arena battle made a move, and a sound rang out.

"The competition is over, the winner is Lin Mu."

"Competition reward: 10,000 points!"

Lin Mu remained calm, his gaze sweeping around before settling on Su Yucheng. A cold smile played on his lips as he immediately questioned the Staff Member standing not far away.

"Am I able to challenge the Human Ranking now?"

The Staff Member nodded slightly. "You are a freshman, so you can challenge them at any time. Unless the opponent has special circumstances, you must accept the challenge!"

"Okay!" Lin Mu looked at Su Yucheng.

"I've seen the Human Ranking; you're ranked 96th. I'm going to challenge you now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people turned their gaze toward Su Yucheng.

Many people know that Su Yucheng's identity is not simple; he comes from the Su Family and is also very talented.

After entering the academy, he made great strides and defeated many geniuses.

He only recently achieved this Human Ranking.

This caused quite a stir at the time.

After all, he had only been in the academy for less than half a year.

To have such strength in just six months is truly remarkable.

Su Yucheng sneered and slowly said, "Just defeating Ding Hongtao is enough to make you so proud?"

"If you have the guts, then accept the challenge. Stop your nonsense," Lin Mu said coldly.

"Interesting. I was planning to cause you trouble later, but I didn't expect you to come to me like this!" Su Yucheng's eyes turned to Ye Fengmian beside him.

"Brother Ye, today I'll show you how I'll avenge you!"

Ye Fengmian said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Brother Su!"

Su Yucheng leaped onto the Arena, his gaze towards Lin Mu carrying a hint of coldness.

Lin Mu's challenge to him now is undoubtedly a slap in the face.

A freshman dares to challenge the Human Ranking.

They didn't take him seriously at all.

"Perhaps you don't know, but Ding Hongtao, whom you just defeated, is not even an ant in my eyes! Our Su Family is not only stronger than his family, but my strength is also several times that of him!"

"If you're willing to kowtow and admit your mistake now, I might give you a chance to concede!" Su Yucheng said arrogantly.

Lin Mu's face was full of disdain. "He's just a spoiled brat who relies on his family. What right does he have to be arrogant in front of me?"

Su Yucheng's eyes were icy cold, a thin sword floated in his palm, and a sharp aura emanated from it.

"How dare a commoner like you spout such nonsense in front of me? It's utterly laughable!"
