Song Feng's Shock

On the Martial Arts Stage.

Ye Hao looked down at Jiang Shaojie and said flatly, "Jiang Shaojie, do you dare come up here and fight me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Jiang Shaojie.

Earlier, Jiang Shaojie had arrogantly made harsh threats, telling Ye Hao to just wait and see.

But now, even Li Lengxuan had been defeated so miserably.

They were curious whether Jiang Shaojie still dared to step onto the stage.

When Jiang Shaojie heard Ye Hao's words, his face immediately darkened, and the fists hidden in his sleeves clenched tight.

Looking back—

When had Ye Hao ever dared to be this arrogant?

Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on him, seemingly all eager to know whether he dared fight Ye Hao on the stage—

Jiang Shaojie's expression grew even gloomier.

If he refused, he would lose all face!

And he would lose his dignity before the White-robed Girl as well!

The White-robed Girl was Xia Zining, daughter of East Moon City's City Lord.

He liked her very much and wanted to forge ties with the City Lord's Mansion.

But now, he was trapped in a dead end.

If he went onto the Martial Arts Stage, Ye Hao would definitely give him a brutal beating, and he would lose all face.

If he did not go up, he would still lose all face!

In the end—

Jiang Shaojie said darkly, "I'm not feeling well."

No one said anything after hearing that, but they all knew perfectly well that Jiang Shaojie had chickened out.

"Trash!"

On the Martial Arts Stage, Ye Hao spat the word disdainfully.

Ye Hao's voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone present heard it clearly.

Naturally, Jiang Shaojie heard it too.

"You!"

Jiang Shaojie's face was dark as he glared viciously at Ye Hao on the Martial Arts Stage.

"Trash!"

Ye Hao said it again.

That simple word struck Jiang Shaojie's ears like something unbearably grating.

Ye Hao dared call him trash!

Jiang Shaojie clenched his fists tight, yet made no move for a long while.

Seeing this, their teacher Song Feng could not help looking at Jiang Shaojie. "Jiang Shaojie, are you sure you want to cower from battle?"

"Teacher, I'm not cowering from battle. I really am unwell," Jiang Shaojie explained with a grim face.

Song Feng waved a hand. "No need to explain. Since you are cowering from battle, according to academy rules, go receive ten lashes yourself. You will also be fined one hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, and your cowering from battle will be announced throughout the entire academy!"

Jiang Shaojie's face turned even more ashen.

If it were only a fine of one hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, that would be nothing.

The Jiang Family was one of East Moon City's three great families. They did not lack such a small amount of Spirit Stones.

But ten lashes!

And having his cowardice announced throughout the academy!

That was undoubtedly grinding his dignity into the dirt!

Especially once his family learned that he had cowered from battle, they would certainly punish him!

Jiang Shaojie took a deep breath, then looked at Ye Hao on the Martial Arts Stage and gritted out, "I accept!"

"Then get your ass up here!"

Ye Hao.

"You!"

Jiang Shaojie's teeth chattered with rage. He felt as though the tables had completely turned.

He had once been the one who was this arrogant.

But now, he was the one swallowing his anger!!!

After Jiang Shaojie stepped onto the Martial Arts Stage.

Song Feng said, "Begin!"

Jiang Shaojie braced himself and made his move.

The result was hardly surprising.

With a bang, Ye Hao kicked him straight to the ground.

Then Ye Hao stomped hard on his head again and again.

Even his skull was beginning to deform!

"Ahhh! Stop! I surrender!"

Jiang Shaojie could not help begging for mercy.

If this went on, he felt he would die.

Ye Hao let out a wild, soft laugh, then stepped over Jiang Shaojie's head with his crotch.

The ultimate humiliation!

Unable to bear such humiliation, Jiang Shaojie fainted from rage.

Seeing this, everyone was once again dumbstruck, inwardly feeling that Ye Hao was far too brutal!

He was simply too good at humiliating people!

They also deeply realized that Ye Hao had truly changed!

It was as though he had become a completely different person...

While everyone stood shocked.

Ye Hao pointed at someone and said indifferently, "Chen Xiao, come up and fight!"

Chen Xiao, standing in the crowd, was terrified.

He had bullied Ye Hao too.

Half an hour later.

Quite a few people who had once bullied Ye Hao had all been taught a lesson by him.

One by one, they began to fawn over him.

"Brother Hao, you're incredible. I'm convinced."

"Brother Hao, I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. I'm sorry."

Afraid that Ye Hao would target them, they all hurriedly admitted their mistakes.

Ye Hao said blandly, "Compensate me for emotional distress, including the cost of medicine for the injuries I suffered in the past."

"Alright, alright, I'll pay. I'll pay."

"Brother Hao, I'll compensate you."

Inside the classroom, nearly ten people took out spirit stones to compensate Ye Hao, all wearing ingratiating smiles.

After collecting the spirit stones, Ye Hao could not help feeling his cultivation loosen once more.

"My thoughts have become a little more unblocked."

Ye Hao calmly swept his gaze over those who had once bullied him.

These people had once been his nightmares. Their bullying had left him with psychological scars and filled him with fear.

But now, he had faced that fear head-on and defeated every person who had ever bullied him.

Seeing them now, humbly trying to curry favor with him, he felt that his former self had truly been weak.

Weak to the very bone.

In truth, these people were nothing more than the sort who bullied the weak and feared the strong!

Facing his fears had brought a tremendous change to his state of mind.

He had once felt that East Moon Academy was like a den of demons.

But now, being in East Moon Academy felt like being in a land of bliss.

Teacher Song Feng walked over with a smile and praised Ye Hao. "Ye Hao, I never expected you to have been hiding your strength all along. With your ability, you should be able to achieve quite a good result in the academy's final martial arts grand competition."

Ye Hao merely nodded indifferently without saying anything.

Song Feng then smiled. "Next, you will fight Xia Zining."

Xia Zining.

The White-robed Girl in the crowd was beautiful, with a tall figure and jet-black hair falling to her waist.

Her looks were the finest in the classroom.

Xia Zining's cultivation was high. When everyone's cultivation had been tested last month, she had already been at the Qi Condensation Fifth Layer.

She had the highest cultivation in the class.

She was a very low-key person.

As for the other party's identity, though it had not been made public, Ye Hao had his suspicions.

In East Moon City, the only famous people with the surname Xia were from the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord himself was surnamed Xia.

A moment later.

Ye Hao won, and Xia Zining lost.

Seeing this scene, everyone revealed shocked expressions.

Ye Hao had actually defeated Xia Zining!!!

Xia Zining was at the Qi Condensation Fifth Layer Realm!

Then what realm was Ye Hao in? Qi Condensation Sixth Layer?

Everyone stared at Ye Hao in shock.

Those who had once bullied Ye Hao and had just been beaten up by him were now completely deflated. Ye Hao had surpassed them by far too much.

At this moment, they marked Ye Hao in their hearts as someone not to be provoked.

Song Feng, as their teacher, also revealed a look of surprise.

Though he could not tell exactly which level of the Qi Condensation Realm Ye Hao was at, Ye Hao had actually cultivated the Yellow Grade Mid-tier combat skill, Mountain Quaking Fist, to the Perfection Stage!

The levels of combat skill comprehension were divided into:

Initial Stage, Intermediate Stage, Late Stage, Perfection Stage!

The deeper one's comprehension of a combat skill, the greater the power it could unleash!

For example, Xia Zining was at the Qi Condensation Fifth Layer Realm.

Her base strength was five thousand jin!

But if she cultivated the Yellow Grade Mid-tier combat skill Mountain Quaking Fist to the Initial Stage, it could increase her strength by one thousand jin.

At the Intermediate Stage, it would add another thousand jin of force.

At the Late Stage, it would add yet another thousand jin of force.

At the Perfection Stage, it could add another two thousand jin of force!

Xia Zining had cultivated Mountain Quaking Fist to the Intermediate Stage. That was equivalent to a base strength of five thousand jin, plus the two thousand jin of force brought by the combat skill, for a total of seven thousand jin of force!

And if Ye Hao was at the Qi Condensation Realm Third Level, his base strength would be three thousand jin! With his comprehension of Mountain Quaking Fist at the Perfection Stage, he could gain an additional five thousand jin of strength!

That would allow him to defeat Xia Zining across realms!

Ye Hao's eight thousand jin of force defeated Xia Zining's seven thousand jin of force!

In other words, Ye Hao's minimum realm had to be the Qi Condensation Realm Third Level!!!

If he had only been at the Qi Condensation Realm Second Level, then even if he could defeat Xia Zining, it would not have been so easy!

Yet Ye Hao had defeated Xia Zining rather easily, proving that he was at least at the Qi Condensation Realm Third Level!
