The Experimental Class's New King

The Experimental Class students looked at one another. Jiang Cheng was not weak, yet Lin Tian had defeated him in an instant so easily.

"The blood mist around Lin Tian's body is probably a Martial Skill he cultivated. To possess such a Martial Skill at this stage, Lin Tian must have quite an extraordinary background."

They had noticed the state of Lin Tian's body when he instantly defeated Jiang Cheng.

Lin Tian had been able to block Jiang Cheng's attack entirely because the blood mist around him had condensed into armor. This had to be a special Martial Skill Lin Tian had cultivated.

They had no means of breaking through Lin Tian's defenses.

"How about letting Qu Mu go up?"

Someone suggested tentatively, then turned to look at a skinny male student.

"Qu Mu is at Martial Dao Second Layer Mid-stage, second only to Jiang Mingyue. Isn't it a bit too much to send him up?"

"Too much, my ass. Lin Tian can instantly defeat Jiang Cheng, who's at Martial Dao Second Layer Early-stage. Wouldn't sending someone else at Martial Dao Second Layer Early-stage up there just be asking for a beating?"

"That does seem right."

After discussing it among themselves, several of them immediately went over to Qu Mu.

"Qu Mu, how about you give it a try? Our strength is about the same as Jiang Cheng's. In the Experimental Class, only you and Jiang Mingyue are at Martial Dao Second Layer Mid-stage."

He did not dare mention having Jiang Mingyue take the field, afraid of getting beaten up.

Jiang Mingyue had become the boss of the Experimental Class by beating everyone into submission with her fists.

As for her younger brother, Jiang Cheng, he had been beaten into submission when he was little.

Qu Mu glanced at Jiang Mingyue beside him. Seeing that she had no intention of taking the field, he spoke.

"Then I'll go."

"Awesome! With Qu Mu taking the field, Lin Tian will definitely be beaten flat."

The Experimental Class students grew excited at once.

When Qu Mu stepped onto the platform, he advised Lin Tian.

"My cultivation is Martial Dao Second Layer Mid-stage. Your strength has already been acknowledged by everyone, so there's no need to keep fighting."

"Heh, that isn't for you to decide."

Lin Tian grinned.

"Since you insist, I'll have a match with you. I won't use a weapon."

"You make the first move."

Qu Mu shook his head helplessly and gestured for Lin Tian to attack first.

"Then I won't hold back."

The instant his words fell, Lin Tian appeared before Qu Mu in a flash. Raising his fists, now free of blood mist, he punched straight at Qu Mu.

"You're too arrogant!"

Qu Mu was deeply disappointed when he saw Lin Tian charge directly at him. Lin Tian clearly knew the gap between them, yet he still chose such a method of attack.

"Is that so?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Tian's lips.

The sound of fists colliding with arms rang out, but to everyone's shock, Qu Mu was actually forced backward by Lin Tian's attack.

"Interesting. You can actually block my attack head-on."

Seeing his attack blocked, Lin Tian was immediately intrigued.

As an Extreme Martial Artist who cultivated the Heavenly Origin Technique, his strength far surpassed that of a Martial Dao First Layer Late-stage martial artist. The Fancang Martial Saint had even assessed that he could rival a Martial Dao Second Layer Late-stage martial artist.

Yet he had never had an opportunity to test his strength. The Experimental Class students happened to be excellent test subjects.

He had simply not expected Qu Mu to block his restrained attack without even defending with his full strength.

Facing the calm Lin Tian, Qu Mu staggered back several steps, his heart shaken to its core.

Having taken Lin Tian's attack, he could clearly feel the pain in both arms. If he lifted the sleeves covering them, parts of his flesh would probably already be caved in.

"I truly underestimated you."

Qu Mu's expression turned grave. He now regarded Lin Tian as an opponent on the same level as himself.

"To block one of my casual strikes, you've tempered your body quite well."

Lin Tian did not stint on his praise. He was an Extreme Martial Artist, and his own strength and physique were already incomparably powerful.

For Qu Mu to withstand his attack with his bare body, his physique was undoubtedly exceptionally strong among martial artists of the same level.

"A casual strike?"

Qu Mu clearly did not believe Lin Tian's words.

That single blow had already injured him. If Lin Tian used his full strength, how could he possibly block it?

His bones would probably shatter.

If he suffered such an injury, he could basically bid farewell to this year's college entrance examination.

"Qu Mu, give up. You're not Lin Tian's match."

Wang Yang, who had been watching from the side of the sparring platform, spoke up.

He was the Experimental Class's teacher, also a Martial Dao Fifth Layer genius. After graduating from university, he had come to Qing City First High School.

He could sense the terrifying power contained within Lin Tian's body. It was absolutely not something Qu Mu could withstand.

"If you refuse to give up, you can use a weapon. I don't mind."

Lin Tian said calmly.

Hearing this, Qu Mu became extremely composed.

"I lost."

He admitted that he was inferior to Lin Tian.

"How is that possible?"

"Qu Mu, why did you concede?"

When they saw Qu Mu concede, the Experimental Class students instantly erupted.

In their eyes, Qu Mu had only fallen into a disadvantage during his first exchange with Lin Tian. As long as he used a weapon afterward, he would surely defeat Lin Tian.

Why would he concede?

Seeing their puzzled expressions as he stepped off the platform, Qu Mu lifted his bloodstained sleeves.

Two clearly sunken fist marks were plainly visible, blood continuously seeping from them.

"It'll be difficult for me to use a weapon to fight again."

Qu Mu wore a helpless expression.

This scene deeply stunned the Experimental Class students. They could not imagine that Lin Tian's strike just now had inflicted such terrifying damage.

After Qu Mu's defeat, only their big sister, Jiang Mingyue, remained in the Experimental Class.

"My weapon is a longsword. I have too great an advantage in a fight against you."

Jiang Mingyue looked at Lin Tian on the sparring platform and spoke.

"No matter. Your sword still can't hurt me."

Lin Tian waved a hand dismissively.

"Just as I thought!"

Jiang Mingyue revealed an expression that said she had known it, then took up her longsword and stepped onto the sparring platform.

"I noticed red blood mist appearing around your body, and it can even gather over your hands. This shouldn't be a cultivation technique, should it?"

"It is your vitality!"

Vitality!

The Experimental Class students were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"How is that possible? Isn't he only at Martial Dao First Layer? How can he release vitality outside his body? None of us can do that."

One student loudly refuted her.

Releasing vitality outside the body was something only Martial Dao Third Level martial artists could do. As for using vitality in battle, that required Martial Dao Fourth Layer.

The way Martial Dao Fourth Layer martial artists fought was by using their own vitality to unleash powerful destructive force.

But Lin Tian was only at Martial Dao First Layer. What gave him the right to do that?

"How did you see through it?"

Lin Tian was somewhat surprised. When many people saw this kind of power, their first thought was that he had cultivated a special Martial Skill, and that this was merely the Martial Skill's visual effect.

"I was only guessing. I didn't expect you to admit it."

Jiang Mingyue smiled.

"But if you can accomplish this, then this era of Blue Star belongs to you."

"Even so, I still want to give it a try."

These words made Lin Tian realize that Jiang Mingyue had most likely already guessed something.

His identity as an Extreme Martial Artist would be exposed sooner or later. The senior students of Yicheng Second Middle School had all witnessed it; without forcibly controlling them, exposure was inevitable.

Then, the battle between Lin Tian and Jiang Mingyue began.

Jiang Mingyue was the first to draw her sword. At astonishing speed, she arrived before Lin Tian and thrust her sword down.

"She really is fast."

Lin Tian was slightly surprised. Vitality surged throughout his body as he predicted where Jiang Mingyue's sword would land, condensed Vitality Armor there, then swung both fists toward Jiang Mingyue.

Having failed to land a strike, Jiang Mingyue could only retreat. Yet she had not expected Lin Tian to catch up to her speed. Caught off guard, she took a punch from Lin Tian. The intense pain was more than she could bear, and she dropped to her knees on the sparring platform.

"Ah, Mingyue!"

The girls of the Experimental Class cried out anxiously at the sight.

"How about it? Will you concede?"

Seeing Jiang Mingyue fall, Lin Tian spoke.

Hearing this, Jiang Mingyue trembled as she rose to her feet and said stubbornly.

"I can only be defeated. I will never concede!"

She immediately raised her sword again and charged at Lin Tian.

Jiang Mingyue's sword was never able to break through Lin Tian's vitality defenses. Instead, Lin Tian repeatedly found chances to strike at her weak points.

Three minutes later, Jiang Mingyue's body flew off the sparring platform and crashed heavily onto the ground. The victory in this battle belonged to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian had become the Experimental Class's new king!
