You wouldn't dare, would you?!
The moment Lin Tian said those words, Qing City First High School's Experimental Class erupted.
"What did you say?"
"You said we wouldn't dare fight you!"
The first boy to speak glared furiously at Lin Tian.
"I've already said what I had to say. It depends on what you all think."
Lin Tian looked utterly unconcerned.
"Take it back and apologize. The weakest students in the Experimental Class are all at the Martial Dao Second Layer."
Seeing this, homeroom teacher Wang Yang hurriedly whispered to Lin Tian.
He did not know Lin Tian's identity, but he knew that it had taken only half an hour from the moment Lin Tian's name appeared to his joining the Experimental Class.
"Teacher, it's fine."
Lin Tian gave Wang Yang a reassuring smile.
But how could Wang Yang possibly feel reassured? Lin Tian's identity was likely extremely noble. If anything happened to him in the Experimental Class, Wang Yang would be the first one held accountable.
"Fine, fine. Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish."
"My name is Jiang Cheng. I'll be the one to beat you straight out of Qing City First High School."
Seeing Lin Tian act like this, the boy immediately gave his name.
"Jiang Cheng!"
Wang Yang shouted angrily upon seeing this.
"Teacher, Lin Tian has already agreed. You have no right to stop us."
"Let's go. As long as you dare come!"
After saying that, Jiang Cheng walked straight out of the classroom.
Qing City First High School had a dedicated sparring stage, used to select students for the Experimental Class.
"Aren't you going?"
"He won't do."
After Jiang Cheng left, Lin Tian did not follow immediately. Instead, he spoke to the others in the Experimental Class.
Including him, Qing City First High School's Experimental Class had only twenty students—the twenty greatest geniuses in Qing Province this year.
"You think you can beat Jiang Cheng?"
Seeing Lin Tian act this way, someone spoke disdainfully.
"Of course. After him, aren't the rest of you going to take a turn?"
Lin Tian said it as though it were only natural.
"You!"
Just as that person was about to speak again, a female voice rang out, instantly silencing the Experimental Class.
"If you can truly defeat Jiang Cheng, then you'll be qualified to enter the Experimental Class."
A stunningly beautiful girl seated at the back of the classroom spoke.
Lin Tian had noticed this girl the moment he entered the Experimental Class.
The reason was simple. She was the only one seated in the back row, and everyone else seemed deeply wary of her.
"Who are you?"
Lin Tian asked.
"Jiang Mingyue!"
Jiang Mingyue and Jiang Cheng clearly came from the same family.
"If I defeat you, does that mean I'll have the final say in this Experimental Class?"
Lin Tian stared at Jiang Mingyue as he spoke.
"Y-You, what are you saying?"
Everyone in the Experimental Class was dumbfounded upon hearing those words.
It was as if they had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Even Jiang Mingyue herself was surprised. Then she calmly replied.
"Of course."
"Good. Then let's go."
After receiving Jiang Mingyue's answer, Lin Tian walked out of the Experimental Class with a smile.
Seeing this, the others in the Experimental Class looked toward Jiang Mingyue.
"Let's go take a look."
As soon as Jiang Mingyue spoke, everyone rushed out in a thunderous surge.
"W-What should I do?"
Even Experimental Class teacher Wang Yang was dumbstruck. He had never imagined things would turn out like this.
It was already impossible for him to stop them. He could only follow the students, hoping nothing happened to Lin Tian.
On Qing City First High School's sparring stage, Jiang Cheng had been waiting for quite some time. When he saw Lin Tian arrive, he could not help mocking him.
"Heh, I thought you were too scared to come."
"What do I have to be afraid of? I was just waiting for more witnesses, and taking the Experimental Class boss's position while I'm at it."
Lin Tian replied calmly.
"The boss's position? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng looked at him as though he were an idiot.
Not long after he said that, Jiang Mingyue and the others arrived.
"Big sis, why are you here?"
Jiang Cheng looked confused.
"Big sis?"
This time, it was Lin Tian's turn to be surprised.
"Jiang Cheng and Jiang Mingyue are fraternal twins. Jiang Mingyue was born a little earlier."
At that moment, the arriving Wang Yang explained.
"Fraternal twins?"
Lin Tian stared at Jiang Cheng and Jiang Mingyue in shock, a thousand times unwilling to believe it.
"Jiang Cheng looks like such a rough brute. How could he possibly be fraternal twins with Jiang Mingyue?"
Lin Tian said that aloud, and Jiang Cheng's face immediately darkened.
Quite a few Experimental Class students also burst out laughing after hearing it. They had been wondering the same thing.
Weren't fraternal twins not supposed to look too different?
Yet when it came to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Mingyue, how had it turned out like this?
"Cut the crap! Get on the stage so I can crush you!"
With his face full of black lines, Jiang Cheng roared at Lin Tian. Then a long staff appeared in his hand.
"A monkey playing with a staff?"
Lin Tian muttered softly, but everyone present was a martial artist. Other than Lin Tian, they were all Martial Dao Second Layer martial artists.
That sentence seemed to have been spoken right beside their ears.
"You're the monkey! Get up here and die!"
Jiang Cheng exploded the moment he heard it.
"Sorry, sorry."
Lin Tian knew he had gone a little too far, so he apologized before stepping onto the sparring stage.
"What, you're not using a weapon? Are you trying to lose sooner?"
Seeing Lin Tian take the stage empty-handed, Jiang Cheng could not help mocking him.
"I haven't found a weapon that suits me yet, so I'll use these fists for now."
Lin Tian raised his right hand and said lightly.
"Ha, sure. Using your fists is fine."
"Don't worry. Once the fight is over and you can't move, I'll prepare the best Medical Pod for you. I guarantee you'll be full of life and vigor by tomorrow."
Jiang Cheng laughed the moment he heard that. He thought Lin Tian was merely making an excuse for his defeat.
Lin Tian knew he could not beat him, so he was not using a weapon. That was naturally a wise choice.
That way, he might still retain his status as an Experimental Class student.
"Can we begin?"
"Of course."
Lin Tian nodded.
The instant those words fell, Jiang Cheng's figure had already charged in to kill.
"Don't worry. I guarantee you won't feel much pain."
"That's what I should be saying to you."
Lin Tian smiled. Then the blood and qi within his body surged, a mist of blood spreading around him as part of his blood and qi condensed around both hands.
When Jiang Cheng's long staff collided with Lin Tian's hands, a dull boom rang out, and everyone stared at Lin Tian in shock.
The blood mist wrapped around his hands was like armor, blocking Jiang Cheng's attack.
Seeing his attack stopped, Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded.
Lin Tian seized the opportunity, grabbed with his backhand, and drove his right fist into Jiang Cheng's abdomen.
In an instant, Jiang Cheng's body bent into a bow. His eyes rolled white, and he fainted on the spot.
Lin Tian smoothly lowered Jiang Cheng's body onto the sparring stage, then looked down calmly.
"Who's next?"
"T-That easy?"
Looking at Jiang Cheng lying on the sparring stage, the Experimental Class students below were all dumbfounded.
Jiang Cheng's strength was at least in the middle ranks of the Experimental Class, yet he had been dealt with in a single blow?
"If Jiang Cheng was defeated so easily, can I withstand that punch?"
"Isn't he at the late Martial Dao First Layer? How did he crush Jiang Cheng like that?"
At that moment, quite a few Experimental Class students began questioning their lives.
