What Are You Supposed to Be?

Su Ye slowly exhaled, and it was as if the temperature in the entire cramped space rose with it.

At that moment, the abundant power within him was like a volcano, its momentum accumulating as it waited to erupt!

For the first time, he somewhat understood what the phrase Qi and Blood Like a Dragon meant!

"This past week has been nothing short of a rebirth for me."

"Even in terms of pure punching power, the top boxing champions from my previous life were far inferior to me now!"

A gleam flashed in Su Ye's eyes, and a faint smile curved his lips.

Over the past few days, he had cast aside every distracting thought and devoted himself to cultivation in silence.

He had spent most of his energy tempering his Martial Bones and practicing the Azure Cloud Breathing Technique, with Vast Sea Swordplay coming second.

"My progress has exceeded even my expectations."

"Both in the Breathing Technique and in the number of Martial Bones!"

Su Ye clenched his fists, feeling surging power boil within them.

At that moment, he felt that he could truly hunt tigers and kill bears barehanded!

In his previous life, such individual strength would absolutely have been superhuman!

"School finally starts again tomorrow morning. I should get a good rest tonight."

He stretched lazily when his phone screen suddenly lit up. It was Feixin.

Su Ye casually opened it and looked at the message.

Zhang Yuan: Brother Ye, let's go to school together tomorrow morning! I'll come find you!

Su Ye replied with an OK.

Zhang Yuan immediately called him.

"Brother Ye, I tempered my fifth Martial Bone!"

"My place in the Key Class is secure now!"

The moment Zhang Yuan spoke, his excitement and joy came pouring through.

"Congratulations." Su Ye smiled, then asked,

"In previous years, four Martial Bones were enough to secure a place in the Key Class. You don't need to worry so much."

Zhang Yuan's troubled voice came through as he grumbled and cursed.

"Brother Ye, you don't get it! This year's competition is brutal!"

"From everything I've heard, our year is straight-up hell difficulty. The number of people who've tempered four Martial Bones far exceeds previous years."

"And those freaks are even more outrageous... Ah, never mind, I won't even talk about them!"

"My dad knows one of the school leaders. I heard that because there may be too many students who tempered Martial Bones this time, they might open two additional Martial Arts Regular Classes!"

Su Ye's expression shifted slightly, and he was somewhat surprised.

Shenyun First High School usually had around thirteen or fourteen hundred third-year students.

Of those, only two or three hundred could meet the requirements for the Martial Arts Class within a month. In previous years, the school generally opened four Martial Arts Regular Classes and two Martial Arts Key Classes, six classes in total.

This year, they were actually opening two more?

No wonder Zhang Yuan was worried that four Martial Bones might not be enough to secure a place in the Key Class!

Zhang Yuan continued complaining.

"Besides, the gap between people is really bigger than the gap between people and dogs!"

"This year is truly full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. From what I know, several of them are monster-level."

"Fang Yuan from our class tempered nine Martial Bones, yet I doubt he can even make the top ten in the class placement!"

Su Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Is it really that competitive?"

In previous years, eight Martial Bones had a good chance of getting into the top ten!

Zhang Yuan sighed.

"Isn't it? I know for a fact that some people tempered ten Martial Bones, and there's more than one or two of them!"

"Tomorrow will be another day for them to show off in everyone's faces!"

"But thankfully, we're not competing for the top ten in class placement! We don't need to worry about this and that!"

Naturally, he did not think Su Ye had the ability to compete for the top ten.

After all, Su Ye had only tempered five Martial Bones in the first three weeks. What great change could there be in just these few days?

He had known Su Ye since childhood and knew perfectly well that Su Ye came from an ordinary family.

There was no way he had the financial means to buy resources like pills in such quantities.

If he could temper six or seven Martial Bones, that would already be Brother Ye's absolute limit!

Even if Brother Ye's Comprehension was astonishing and his Extreme Shadow Swordplay results were sure to shock everyone, the number of Martial Bones and the Breathing Technique were still the focus of the assessment!

"Forget it, we'll talk more tomorrow! My dad's calling me, Brother Ye!"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Zhang Yuan hurriedly hung up.

Su Ye swiped left on the screen with his right hand and opened the class group chat.

At that moment, messages flooded through the group chat, with nearly ten flashing past every second.

Everyone in the class was clearly thrilled and stirred up.

Most of the discussion, however, revolved around Fang Yuan.

"Fang Yuan? Back in first and second year, I heard his background was extraordinary. Someone saw a luxury car worth several million picking him up and dropping him off from school. Maybe he's from the Fang Family."

"Nine Martial Bones is indeed astonishing."

"It looks like the competition for this year's top ten in class placement is truly intense."

Su Ye, however, felt no concern at all. His deep eyes held only anticipation and blazing eagerness.

Early the next morning, Su Ye headed out.

"Brother Ye, let's go!"

Zhang Yuan wore Shenyun First High School's School Uniform. The dark circles beneath his eyes were rather heavy, and he had clearly not slept well the night before.

The two set off together and, after around twenty minutes on the bus, arrived at Shenyun First High School in Shenyun City.

Su Ye looked up.

Even the security guards stationed outside had tempered at least Forty Martial Bones.

As for becoming a teacher at Shenyun First High School, one needed at least the cultivation of the Blood Nourishing Realm.

"Fang Yuan is over there."

Zhang Yuan bumped Su Ye with his shoulder, signaling him to look.

Not far ahead, over a dozen people surrounded a handsome young man, chatting and laughing with him as though he were the center of the stars, the moon surrounded by a host of stars.

It was Fang Yuan from their class. His background was extraordinary, and he had tempered nine Martial Bones!

"Tsk, isn't this Zhang Yuan?"

Among that group, a young man wearing brand-name shoes caught sight of Zhang Yuan from the corner of his eye and walked over, speaking in a strange, mocking tone.

"I heard your dad used some kind of employee discount to buy you quite a few Bone Tempering Pills. So? Can you get into the Key Class?"

He sneered, making no attempt to hide the aura he unleashed.

Five Martial Bones—his place in the Key Class was secure!

Su Ye glanced at the young man.

Wan Yue. His father was a manager at Pill Immortal Pavilion.

Pill Immortal Pavilion and Heavenly Pill Pavilion were both top pill-selling companies in Longhua Kingdom, locked in fierce competition with one another.

That was also why the two of them could not stand each other and had such a poor relationship.

Earlier in the class group chat, when Zhang Yuan said that Su Ye's Extreme Shadow Swordplay had reached the Extreme Shadow level, it had been Wan Yue who spoke to Zhang Yuan in that strange, mocking tone.

Before Zhang Yuan could respond, the young man's eyes shifted as he looked at Su Ye and gave a mocking laugh.

"And Su Ye."

"Zhang Yuan said you've practiced Extreme Shadow Swordplay to the perfected level? I'm really looking forward to seeing it."

"How about showing me a move right now?"

Su Ye swept a glance over Wan Yue and said blandly, "What are you supposed to be, that you think I should show it to you?"

Wan Yue's pupils suddenly narrowed, and his face instantly darkened.

"Su Ye, what the fuck did you say?"

Su Ye came from an ordinary family and had never been worth Wan Yue's notice. He had merely mocked Su Ye a few times because of Zhang Yuan.

He had never imagined that this guy he Looked Down Upon would have such a sharp tongue.

Zhang Yuan stepped between them and snorted coldly.

"Was Brother Ye wrong? What are you supposed to be?"

Wan Yue stared deeply at Su Ye over Zhang Yuan's shoulder. Seeing someone from Fang Yuan's group wave at him, he gave a cold snort and turned to leave.

If he were not busy right now, he would definitely teach Su Ye a lesson!

Suddenly, a luxurious black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up.

An old man dressed in a butler's uniform got out, respectfully opened the rear door, and a delicate-featured young girl stepped out.

The eyes of many people in the area snapped toward the girl!
