Challenging Lu Sheng!

Chen Zhen's prestige within the Martial Arts Class was always very high.

As he spoke, everyone in the Martial Arts Class immediately quieted down.

Chen Zhen also felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

Damn it, there were leaders inspecting today. If these brats caused any trouble, he would definitely give them a good talking-to after today's inspection.

But it was fine now, they were all giving him face.

Chen Zhen's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice, "Today, the ranking assessment will be conducted in an arena format. Those with lower rankings can challenge those with higher rankings, and those with higher rankings cannot refuse!"

On the arena, defeat your opponents as much as possible. Don't worry about injuring them. The path of a Martial Artist is one of life and death. If you are hesitant now, when you graduate from the Martial Arts Academy and enter the Alien Demon Battlefield, this kind of behavior will be courting death!

"With me here, and with the leaders present, you don't need to worry about anything happening, understood!"

Chen Zhen roared.

The students in the Martial Arts Class responded one after another.

"Understood!!"

In the resting area, Alliance Leader Yun watched the scene with a smile. "Having a veteran who retired from the Alien Demon Battlefield as a teacher for the Martial Arts Class, Cloud City First High School's approach is good. It seems we should promote this city-wide if there's an opportunity."

The principal beside him smiled respectfully, "Not at all, it's just a clever trick!"

Alliance Leader Yun smiled and didn't reply, only looking at Commander Chen and saying with a smile, "How about it, Old Chen? Are you interested in letting the military and our Martial Alliance cooperate to cultivate these young ones for the next generation?"

Commander Chen's face remained indifferent. After a moment of thought, he slowly nodded.

At this moment, Chen Zhen had also mobilized the enthusiasm of the students in the Martial Arts Class. He turned his head and looked at Alliance Leader Yun and the others.

Alliance Leader Yun nodded.

Only then did Chen Zhen shift his gaze back to the students in the Martial Arts Class and say in a deep voice, "Now, the assessment begins!"

"We'll start with those with lower rankings!"

After speaking, a student from the Martial Arts Class stepped forward, initiating a challenge.

Lu Sheng sat in his seat, watching the battles on the arena with boredom, but his mind was racing, wondering why his two senior sisters had suddenly appeared here.

It couldn't be to cheer him on, could it?

And...

Why were his two senior sisters following Alliance Leader Yun and Commander Chen?

Lu Sheng even noticed that Alliance Leader Yun and Commander Chen were showing extreme respect towards his First Senior Sister.

It was important to note that Alliance Leader Yun and Commander Chen were the pillars of Cloud City. In a sense, they were the true power holders of Cloud City.

What Martial Arts Families, what Viscera Refining Realm Martial Artists, were nothing compared to them.

"Before, I only heard from Second Senior Sister that First Senior Sister was a high-ranking official in the military. Now it seems First Senior Sister has a very high position in the military!"

Lu Sheng was filled with curiosity.

As Lu Sheng pondered, in the resting area, Alliance Leader Yun and Commander Chen looked at Kong Xin, who had a calm expression, and were unsure of what to do.

This morning, they had suddenly received a message from Kong Xin, asking them to accompany her to Cloud City First High School to watch the Martial Arts Class ranking assessment, but they couldn't reveal Kong Xin's identity.

This had troubled them for a long time.

Now, with Kong Xin sitting beside them, even though Alliance Leader Yun and Commander Chen still maintained their previous prestige, they couldn't help but glance at Kong Xin every time they spoke, for fear of saying something wrong that might displease her.

However, fortunately, from beginning to end, she hadn't shown any reaction.

"Old Chen, why do you think she suddenly came here?"

Alliance Leader Yun couldn't help but transmit his voice.

Commander Chen remained silent for a moment, "Do you remember the matter with the Bai Family before? The young fellow the Bai Family tried to assassinate was a student from Cloud City First High School's Martial Arts Class, named Lu Sheng!"

Alliance Leader Yun fell silent. After a long while, a sharp intake of breath could be heard.

"Hiss! So, she came specifically to see this kid Lu Sheng?"

"No, who is this Lu Sheng? How could he make her personally return to Cloud City and personally observe his assessment??"

Alliance Leader Yun was truly puzzled.

Commander Chen shook his head, indicating he didn't know either, but still said, "However, if she values him, then this kid must not be a simple person. Perhaps... our Cloud City is about to have a prodigy."

Alliance Leader Yun took a deep breath. "If that's the case..."

His eyes twinkled with a sharp light.

"Then we must try to befriend this kid at all costs."

While the two were chatting, quite a few challenges had already taken place below.

Most of them were challenges from students ranked in the twenties against those ranked one position higher. There was nothing particularly exciting.

It was so dull that Lu Sheng was almost falling asleep. Lu Sheng had been hunting Fierce Beasts in the suburbs recently, and the experiences and trials he had gone through were incomparable to these students in the Martial Arts Class who hadn't yet seen real combat.

In Lu Sheng's eyes, their fighting styles were no different from playing house.

Not to mention the two important figures of Cloud City in the resting area, as well as Kong Xin and Lan Linglong.

"Boring!"

Kong Xin watched below with a sense of utter boredom, unable to help but utter the two words.

Beside her, Lan Linglong sat quietly in her seat and said with a smile, "We're here to watch Junior Disciple Brother, not them. Why bother paying attention to them?"

Kong Xin stretched lazily, her perfect figure unfolding languidly. Rays of sunlight streamed through the window and fell upon her, adding a touch of noble aura to her.

"These brats, if you ask me, we should just throw them all onto the battlefield for a few days of training, and then they wouldn't be like this!"

Kong Xin said with a hint of disdain.

Lan Linglong smiled and said nothing, her gaze gently falling on Lu Sheng. Just then, Lu Sheng happened to look over as well.

Lan Linglong gave Lu Sheng a look that said, Your First Senior Sister is bored to death.

Lu Sheng felt a bit helpless. He touched his nose and was just about to stand up to begin his challenge when, Suddenly, from a corner of the Martial Arts Training Hall, a hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"Instructor, I want to challenge Lu Sheng!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze followed the sound. They saw Bai Mo slowly stand up, his eyes fixed directly on Su Yu.

"This..."

Chen Zhen's brow furrowed slightly.

He hadn't expected Bai Mo to step forward and challenge Lu Sheng at this moment.

Everyone in Cloud City knew about the Bai family's affairs.

For Bai Mo to challenge Lu Sheng at this time... it was rather telling!

"What does this guy want to do?"

Alliance Leader Yun looked at the scene before him, his brow furrowing slightly. He had a bad premonition.

Because Bai Mo had ordered an assassination attempt on Lu Sheng, the Bai family had been exiled to the Alien Demon Battlefield. Bai Mo, having not yet reached the Blood Refining Realm, had luckily been allowed to stay behind.

Even an idiot would know that Bai Mo must have hated Lu Sheng to death.

Now, with Bai Mo challenging Lu Sheng in front of so many people...

It was quite intriguing.

If Lu Sheng were just an ordinary person, it would be fine. He could just pay a little extra attention to ensure Lu Sheng didn't have any accidents.

But the problem was that Lu Sheng had a close relationship with Kong Xin, and Kong Xin was right here.

If Lu Sheng got even a scratch under Kong Xin's watchful eyes, the fury of Kong Xin...

One had to remember that she was someone who could chase and hack down Alien Demon Kings, let alone a small alliance leader like himself.

Bai Mo looked at the hesitation on Chen Zhen's face and sneered inwardly.

"As expected, all of you are snobbish! After my Bai family had trouble, even you, the instructor, treated me like a jinx!"

"All of this... is because of Lu Sheng!!!"

Bai Mo's heart had been completely twisted the moment his family was exiled. He could blame everything on Lu Sheng.

"Instructor, you said the rule yourself: those with lower rankings challenge those with higher rankings, and those with higher rankings cannot refuse!"

"I think Lu Sheng... you won't refuse, right!"

Bai Mo said with a smile as he looked at Lu Sheng, a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Chen Zhen felt a bit bitter. If he had known Bai Mo was going to challenge Lu Sheng, he would have definitely found a way to prevent them from crossing paths.

The relationship between the two was like fire and water. If they fought too intensely on the stage, in front of two important figures, it would be troublesome.

But the rules were set by him, and he couldn't go back on his word now.

Just as Chen Zhen was feeling conflicted, he heard a calm voice.

"Okay!"

Lu Sheng slowly stood up, looking at Bai Mo with a calm expression.

"Lu Sheng, you..."

Chen Zhen's brow furrowed slightly. He wasn't worried about Lu Sheng not being Bai Mo's match, but he was afraid of what would happen if Bai Mo went mad without restraint, which would be troublesome.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly at Chen Zhen, "Instructor, we can't break the rules, can we? Since he wants to challenge me, I also really want to settle some past scores!"

Although Lu Sheng's voice was calm, for some reason, Chen Zhen felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Lu Sheng's words.

Only then did Chen Zhen suddenly realize that he didn't seem to know Lu Sheng at all.

This guy... was also someone who held grudges!

Bai Mo had ordered Lu Sheng's assassination. Although Lu Sheng hadn't done anything for a long time, it didn't mean he had forgotten about it.

He just hadn't found an opportunity.

And now, Bai Mo had practically delivered the opportunity to Lu Sheng's doorstep. How could Lu Sheng possibly waste such a good chance?

After a moment of silence, Chen Zhen took a deep look at Lu Sheng before slowly speaking.

"Good!"
