As Chen Zhen's words fell, everyone found a Martial Arts Puppet to face.
Lu Sheng looked at the Martial Arts Puppet before him, a faint gleam flickering in his eyes.
"Last time, even without cultivating martial arts techniques, I could defeat a Martial Arts Puppet at the same realm. This time..."
A thought stirred in Lu Sheng's heart.
Though he was only at the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer, with his mastered Arhat Fist and the combat experience he had gained hunting Fierce Beasts in the wilderness over this period...
Perhaps... he could challenge a Martial Arts Puppet at the Qi and Blood Eighth Layer, or even the Blood Qi Layer Nine!
After all, a Martial Arts Puppet was merely a lifeless object. Though it possessed cultivation, its fighting was exceedingly rigid. Fighting above one's realm was not particularly difficult.
As Lu Sheng was thinking this, the Martial Arts Puppet before him had already charged at him.
Except...
The current Martial Arts Puppet was merely at Blood Qi Layer One.
Lu Sheng simply pushed out a palm, shattering it and directly raising the Martial Arts Puppet's cultivation to Blood Qi Layer Two!
"Perfect... Let's see where my limit lies after this month!"
Lu Sheng murmured inwardly and charged at the Martial Arts Puppet once more.
For a time, the ten students of the Martial Arts Class each faced their own Martial Arts Puppet.
Chen Zhen stood in a corner, his single eye razor-sharp as it swept across the crowd.
"In one month, these little ones have improved fairly well!"
"Especially that kid from the Bai Family. His cultivation has already reached the peak of the Qi and Blood Eighth Layer, only a single step away from Blood Qi Layer Nine!"
"As expected of a genius from a Martial Arts Family. In less than another month, he might be able to challenge the Blood Refining Realm!"
Chen Zhen's gaze swept over Bai Mo, and he could not help nodding.
He then shifted his gaze to the others.
"This Chu Yanran..."
Chen Zhen narrowed his eye slightly. Watching Chu Yanran continuously exchange blows with her Martial Arts Puppet, one of his brows lifted.
"Though she is slightly inferior to Bai Mo, she has still reached the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer. Before the Global Tournament, she should be able to cultivate to the Blood Refining Realm. She is a decent prospect as well!"
"These two little ones are both quite talented. Once the matters on the battlefield are settled, perhaps they can receive focused training!"
Thought after thought flashed through Chen Zhen's mind.
"As for Lu Sheng..."
Chen Zhen's gaze fell upon Lu Sheng.
He saw that the Martial Arts Puppet before Lu Sheng had already risen to the Blood Qi Layer Six!
Even... the aura emanating from Lu Sheng was immensely vigorous.
"Such dense blood qi... This is..."
Chen Zhen's gaze instantly locked onto Lu Sheng, and his single eye involuntarily contracted.
"Qi and Blood Seventh Layer! How is that possible?!"
Chen Zhen could not help crying out. Fortunately, he stood in the corner, so no one heard his exclamation.
"In one month, he rose from the Blood Qi Layer Three to the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer. At this pace... even Bai Mo cannot compare, can he?"
A stormy sea was instantly whipped up in Chen Zhen's heart.
Though Chen Zhen had noticed during the first Ranking Assessment that Lu Sheng's talent was not weak, other matters had troubled him during this time, leaving him no chance to carefully observe the Martial Arts Class.
Even his impression of Lu Sheng remained fixed on how he had been a month ago.
And now, when he saw Lu Sheng, who had already cultivated to the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer, even he, the Martial Arts Class instructor, could not help but be shocked.
"That kid Bai Mo was born into a Martial Arts Family and has countless resources supporting him, yet in one month, he only advanced three realms. But this kid..."
Chen Zhen fell silent for a moment, then opened the document in his hand. It clearly recorded the background information of the Martial Arts Class students.
When he saw the two words "orphan" written in Lu Sheng's background information, Chen Zhen fell even more silent.
"This kid's talent... seems even greater than I imagined!"
Chen Zhen murmured softly, his gaze fixed upon Lu Sheng without shifting away.
At that moment, Lu Sheng once again shattered the Blood Qi Layer Six Martial Arts Puppet with a single punch, raising the puppet's cultivation by another layer!
Qi and Blood Seventh Layer!
"Same realm now. I wonder what Lu Sheng's combat skills are like!"
Chen Zhen narrowed his eye slightly.
The Qi and Blood Seventh Layer Martial Arts Puppet radiated an even more powerful aura. It thrust out a palm, its surging blood qi carrying an immensely powerful force.
It sought to suppress Lu Sheng.
Yet in the face of such terrifying blood qi fluctuations, not even the slightest ripple appeared on Lu Sheng's face.
He merely stood where he was, gazing indifferently at the Martial Arts Puppet charging toward him.
Just as the Martial Arts Puppet's palm was about to land on Lu Sheng's body, Lu Sheng's body shifted slightly to the right.
Then...
He drove out a punch!
A faint golden radiance flickered over Lu Sheng's fist.
Thud!
With a muffled impact, the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer Martial Arts Puppet instantly collapsed beneath that punch!!
"This is... a martial arts technique!!"
Chen Zhen stared fixedly at Lu Sheng's fist. Seeing the faint golden glow flashing across it, the light in his single eye grew brighter and brighter.
"Wait, this kid has neither power nor influence. How did he get a martial arts technique? The Martial Arts Class does not seem to reward martial arts techniques!"
A trace of confusion surfaced in Chen Zhen's single eye.
To obtain a martial arts technique, one either bought it from the Martial Alliance, went to the Black Market, or... had one prepared by a Martial Arts Family.
But...
No matter how Chen Zhen looked at Lu Sheng, he did not seem to belong to any of those three categories!
"This kid... may have some secrets!"
Chen Zhen murmured.
At that moment, the shattered Martial Arts Puppet slowly healed once more, its aura becoming even stronger.
Qi and Blood Eighth Layer!
At this moment, the Martial Arts Pupppet's cultivation had already risen to the Qi and Blood Eighth Layer!
"With a martial arts technique, defeating a Martial Arts Puppet at the same realm is not difficult. But against a Martial Arts Puppet at a higher realm, defeating it will not be easy!"
Chen Zhen murmured, his gaze locked onto Lu Sheng's figure.
But when Chen Zhen's gaze fell upon Lu Sheng, he saw that Lu Sheng had actually moved!
"Wait, what is he trying to do?"
Chen Zhen's pupils contracted slightly. Even as the Martial Arts Class instructor, he could not figure out what Lu Sheng intended to do.
One had to know that it was a Qi and Blood Eighth Layer Martial Arts Puppet. The longer Lu Sheng could endure, the higher his score would be.
Yet...
Lu Sheng had moved at this moment?
Just as Chen Zhen was puzzled, Lu Sheng had already rushed before the Martial Arts Puppet, facing the puppet's terrifyingly imposing presence.
Lu Sheng slowly raised his fist once more.
His lips parted slightly.
"Arhat... Fist!"
Lu Sheng uttered the words softly. Golden radiance erupted, mixed with bursts of Buddhist chants.
Thud!!
Terrifying power surged from Lu Sheng's fist in an instant, finally... pouring onto the Martial Arts Puppet's body.
There was only a muffled impact.
The next moment...
The Martial Arts Puppet, which had been so terrifying moments before, collapsed once again at this moment!!
