Third place: Lu Sheng!!
The moment Chen Zhen's voice rang out, gazes immediately converged on Lu Sheng.
Envy, shock, confusion, and even...
A hint of coldness!
Lu Sheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but look in one direction.
He saw Bai Mo scrutinizing him with a cold gaze. Upon seeing Lu Sheng look his way, Bai Mo snorted and shifted his gaze.
"This guy..."
Lu Sheng frowned, honestly not understanding why Bai Mo was looking at him like that.
Although they were old classmates, they had never interacted. Back when they were in the regular classes, Bai Mo had already become a Martial Artist and never associated with people like him.
Even after transferring to the Martial Arts Class, there had been no contact.
Why was he suddenly looking at him like this?
Lu Sheng shook his head and dismissed the thought.
Whatever his reaction, he couldn't be bothered to interact with the guy.
Chen Zhen's voice continued.
"Fourth place, Bai Mo!"
Upon hearing his ranking, Bai Mo clenched his fists and cast a slightly cold glance at Lu Sheng's retreating back.
"Fourth place..."
Veins bulged on Bai Mo's forehead.
"Damn it, if it weren't for this guy, third place would have been mine!!"
Bai Mo grumbled inwardly.
Ever since seeing Lu Sheng defeat the Blood Qi Layer Eight puppet before him, Bai Mo had felt a sense of displeasure towards Lu Sheng.
Now, hearing that he was only ranked fourth, he inexplicably blamed everything on Lu Sheng.
He refused to admit his own shortcomings.
However, no one knew what Bai Mo was thinking. Chen Zhen's voice continued, announcing everyone's rankings for the session.
Soon, the names of the top thirty-two had been announced.
Only the last ranking remained unannounced.
Chen Zhen's gaze fell upon the student in last place and he spoke calmly.
"Thirty-third place, Zhang Long!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Long's face turned pale.
Last place!
This was his second consecutive time in last place.
This meant...
He had been eliminated.
"According to the rules, anyone who finishes last twice in a row... is directly eliminated!"
Chen Zhen looked at Zhang Long calmly.
While the Martial Arts Class had abundant resources, they were still limited. Chen Zhen naturally couldn't tolerate anyone freeloading resources within the Martial Arts Class.
Finishing last once might be acceptable, but finishing last twice in a row was no longer a matter of talent.
It was a matter of attitude!
"I..."
Zhang Long opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he lowered his head and dejectedly walked out of the Martial Arts Training Hall.
"I understand!"
Everyone, including Lu Sheng, silently watched Zhang Long's figure slowly disappear from the Martial Arts Training Hall.
"Listen up, everyone! Joining the Martial Arts Class isn't for you to slack off and wait for death!"
"The resources in the Martial Arts Class are limited, and as the instructor of the Martial Arts Class, I absolutely will not allow anyone to coast under my watch!"
"Either seize every moment to improve yourself, or face elimination in the next assessment, just like Zhang Long today!"
"Do you understand!!"
Chen Zhen roared, his voice echoing throughout the entire Martial Arts Training Hall.
"Understood!!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Chen Zhen nodded with satisfaction and then began distributing this month's resources according to the rankings.
When it was Lu Sheng's turn, he discovered that in addition to Blood Qi Pills, this batch of resources also included a bottle of black pills!
"What is this..."
Lu Sheng had never seen such a pill before.
"Limit Breaking Pill!"
Chen Zhen explained as he handed the resources to Lu Sheng.
"When you reach the Blood Qi Realm and your Blood Qi hits its limit, you can take this Limit Breaking Pill to raise your Blood Qi limit!"
"Limit Breaking Pills are extremely rare; only the top three people in the Martial Arts Class receive them!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng's eyes immediately erupted with a brilliant light.
In the Blood Qi Realm, most Martial Artists reached their limit after raising their Blood Qi to ten points. At this point, they would begin to temper their Blood Qi and enter the Blood Refining Realm!
However, some prodigies could push their limits to eleven, twelve, or even thirteen points!
In the Blood Qi Realm, the higher one's Blood Qi limit, the stronger they would be on their subsequent martial arts journey.
Ordinary Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists would temper their Blood Qi once to increase it by ten points, while those who broke through the upper limit could increase it by eleven, twelve, or even thirteen points!
While the initial advantage might only be a few points of Blood Qi difference, as the realms got higher, the gap would become increasingly apparent.
And the Limit Breaking Pill, which helped Martial Artists break through their Blood Qi limit, was thus incredibly precious.
Bai Mo, who was after Lu Sheng, showed intense jealousy in his eyes.
Although he came from a martial arts family, even his Bai family had to pay a great price to obtain treasures like the Limit Breaking Pill!
"This damned Lu Sheng! If it weren't for him, this Limit Breaking Pill would have been mine!!"
Bai Mo clenched his fists, his expression involuntarily becoming slightly contorted.
Lu Sheng quickly put the Limit Breaking Pill away, afraid of dropping it.
This was a great treasure. When he reached his Blood Qi limit, taking this Blood Qi Pill would be perfect.
Soon, the resource distribution was complete.
Chen Zhen seemed to have other matters to attend to, so he announced that today's session was over. Those who wished to stay and train could continue, while those who didn't were free to spend the rest of their time as they pleased.
He then hastily left the Martial Arts Training Hall.
Bai Mo, holding his collected resources, looked at Chu Yanran beside him. His previously gloomy expression softened slightly upon seeing her.
"Yanran, shall I spar with you again today?"
Bai Mo, Chu Yanran, and Lu Sheng were all in the same class before. Although Bai Mo didn't care about Lu Sheng, Chu Yanran's talent was good, and she was also beautiful, so he often interacted with her.
Over the past month, Bai Mo had frequently trained with Chu Yanran, under the guise of sparring, but Bai Mo's intentions were already obvious.
Bai Mo had expected Chu Yanran to train with him as usual today, but to his surprise, Chu Yanran shook her head.
"No, I have other things to do today, so we won't be training together!"
Hearing Chu Yanran's words, Bai Mo felt disappointed but understood.
However, when Bai Mo saw Chu Yanran's next action, his previously calm heart was once again stirred by a storm.
Chu Yanran strode forward with her long legs, her form-fitting clothes further accentuating her alluring figure.
She slowly walked up to Lu Sheng, who was preparing to leave, placed her hands behind her back, and put on a very playful expression.
"Classmate Lu Sheng, I have some questions about boxing techniques. Could I ask for your guidance?"
Her gentle voice, combined with her playful expression, made the surrounding people's breaths catch.
Seeing this, Bai Mo's expression visibly contorted.
"Lu Sheng! It's this Lu Sheng again!!"
"First the Limit Breaking Pill, and now Chu Yanran!!!"
"This guy..."
A ruthless glint flashed in Bai Mo's eyes. He snorted and left the Martial Arts Training Hall without looking back.
Lu Sheng, looking at Chu Yanran who had approached him, was first stunned, then his expression turned strange.
Good heavens, Chu Yanran is asking me for guidance?
He knew that Chu Yanran was not only the class beauty before but also the dream girl of many students in the Martial Arts Class after transferring.
Coupled with her good talent, her ranking consistently hovered around tenth place, which made many people admire her.
However, Chu Yanran had always interacted with Bai Mo before. Bai Mo's strength and talent were undeniable, causing many people to admire Chu Yanran from afar but dare not approach her.
As for Lu Sheng...
Although they were old classmates, they hadn't interacted much. Moreover, he had recently become a disciple of Kong Yunzhang and trained under his Second Senior Sister every day.
To be honest...
In Lu Sheng's opinion, while Chu Yanran was lovely, compared to his Second Senior Sister...
She was still lacking a certain charm.
Lu Sheng hadn't interacted much with Chu Yanran before, and now he had even less intention of doing so. He said indifferently, "Sorry, I have other things to attend to. If you have any questions, please ask someone else!"
With that, he walked out of the Martial Arts Training Hall.
The surrounding students in the Martial Arts Class listened to Lu Sheng's reply, and their expressions immediately turned strange.
"This guy... doesn't he know Chu Yanran is showing interest?"
"Damn, if Chu Yanran showed interest in me, I would have been all over her. This Lu Sheng is truly wasting a treasure!!"
"Damn it, there was a beauty placed before you, but you didn't cherish her!! Lu Sheng, you're not even human!"
Not only were the other students in the Martial Arts Class furious, but Chu Yanran's expression also gradually stiffened.
Sorry.
I have other things to attend to.
You find someone else!
Lu Sheng's words echoed in Chu Yanran's mind. She found them inexplicably familiar. Wasn't this the exact line she used to reject Bai Mo?
And now it was being used on her?
For a moment, Chu Yanran looked at Lu Sheng's retreating back, feeling a bit dazed.
A moment later, Chu Yanran's pretty eyebrows slightly curved upwards.
"Hmph, I refuse to believe that this guy is so indifferent to women!"
With that, Chu Yanran stomped her foot and also left the Martial Arts Training Hall.
