"Want me to fight in the exchange tournament? Are you serious?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Qingshan sounded extremely agitated.

"Who else am I supposed to ask if not you!?"

"This was decided long ago. There's no way to get out of it."

"Shu Li and Qin Feng still haven't fully recovered, so they can't be the main force. And you turned Ye Fan depressed. We can only rely on you."

Chu Sheng frowned slightly.

"The first two are one thing, but how is Ye Fan my fault?"

"He advanced to Opening Meridian First Layer so early because he couldn't bear the humiliation. Where do you think that humiliation came from? Wasn't it because you slapped him in public?"

"If he advanced later, wouldn't he still have gotten depressed..."

"At least he would've made it in time for this exchange tournament!"

A man's hand was shortened by what he took, and his mouth softened by what he ate.

After taking and eating so much, it really would have been hard to refuse this favor.

"Fine. Which school, and when?"

"Shengze Third Middle School. The day after tomorrow. Come back to school tomorrow morning for a meeting, then we'll set off from campus."

Shengze?

That was quite the coincidence. He had been planning to go to Shengze City anyway.

With that, Chu Sheng had no further hesitation and agreed.

The following morning, Second High School's meeting room.

By the time Chu Sheng arrived, Wu Qingshan had already arranged the order of battle.

There were five matches in the exchange tournament.

Aside from him, Shu Li and Qin Feng would also compete, as the second and third seats.

There were also the original fourth- and fifth-ranked students, making five people in total.

Wu Qingshan handed the materials in his hand to Chu Sheng.

"This is the information on their side. Take a look first."

"No need."

"Don't underestimate them. Their top student may be one minor realm below you, but he has a record of drawing against someone two minor realms above him."

Chu Sheng's eyes narrowed.

"Only one minor realm below me? That's way too monstrous, isn't it?"

Wu Qingshan shook his head.

"That's what I was thinking too. Their school used to be about the same as ours, at most Opening Meridian Triple Layer. I don't know what happened this year, but suddenly they produced an Opening Meridian Fourth Layer."

"Oh, I thought he was Opening Meridian Ninth Layer."

The moment those words fell, the entire meeting room went dead silent.

They thought they had misheard.

"Chu Sheng, what did you just say? What Opening Meridian Ninth Layer?"

"You said he was one minor realm below me. I'm at Qi Sea Realm First Layer, so of course I thought he was Opening Meridian Ninth Layer."

As those words fell, the already silent meeting room became even quieter.

The only thing anyone could hear was their own heavy breathing.

Qin Feng abruptly slammed a hand on the table.

"Quit joking around!"

"You think you're so funny?"

"If it weren't for you, I could have advanced into the Meridian Opening Realm before the National College Entrance Examination. Do you understand!?"

The resentment he had suppressed for so long finally found release, and Qin Feng felt immensely gratified.

With Wu Qingshan here, Chu Sheng couldn't possibly act recklessly.

He wasn't afraid!

Yet the next second, he was.

Because Chu Sheng slowly walked up to him, radiating an utterly terrifying aura.

It was so powerful that he could not even sense Chu Sheng's exact realm.

Behind them, Wu Qingshan was so stunned that he forgot to make a sound.

Chu Sheng had not lied.

This aura truly belonged to the Qi Sea Realm!!!

Was he even human!? If he was human, I'd fucking eat him alive!

The champions of previous years' martial examinations had only reached Opening Meridian Seventh or Eighth Layer...

Forget high school students—even at ordinary second- or third-rate academies, most students might not reach this realm by their sophomore year.

"What are you trying to do?"

Qin Feng sensed that something was wrong.

The next moment, he was sent flying by a slap.

"Trash like you thinks you deserve for me to joke with you?"

"As for failing to advance into the Meridian Opening Realm, you brought that upon yourself. Ordering others to extort people is fucking illegal!"

"You should be burning incense in gratitude that I didn't cripple you outright!"

"Do you understand!?"

Qin Feng clutched his face as he staggered to his feet, not daring to move.

Chu Sheng slapped him again.

"I'm fucking asking you a question! Do you understand, or not!?"

"I understand, I understand! I get it!" Qin Feng nodded repeatedly.

"If you understand, why aren't you saying thank you? I gave you a free lesson on the law. How many chances like that do you think you'll get?"

Qin Feng hurriedly nodded again. "Thank you, thank you..."

Only then did Chu Sheng return to his seat.

"You'd better truly understand. If you break the law in front of me again, it won't be settled with a few injuries and a few slaps."

Sincerely educated others about the law, making them understand the seriousness of breaking it Justice Points +500

"Oh? That many?"

Chu Sheng was somewhat surprised, but after seeing everyone else's expressions, he understood.

This legal lesson had not only been useful to Qin Feng.

The others would surely take it as a warning as well and strive to become law-abiding citizens.

"Chu Sheng, when... when did you advance to the Qi Sea Realm?"

Wu Qingshan's words left everyone even more dumbfounded.

Even now, they had thought Chu Sheng was joking.

After all, this was simply too absurd.

It was like someone telling you that the person you loved was actually a green-skinned goblin.

That was how ridiculous it was.

Chu Sheng said lightly, "Yesterday."

Wu Qingshan looked at the materials in his hand, then at Chu Sheng.

Then he casually tossed the materials into the trash can.

Was there still any need to read them?

A Qi Sea Realm cultivator could beat the shit out of a Meridian Opening Realm cultivator.

And if he couldn't beat the shit out of them, then that meant they had taken a clean dump!

Even the weakest Qi Sea Realm cultivator could throw a punch with at least six thousand kilograms of force.

That was simply not something Opening Meridian Fourth Layer could endure.

So this exchange tournament was in the bag!!!

"It's in the bag!"

At Shengze Third Middle School's pre-match meeting, Principal Liu Xiong said with satisfaction.

The cold-faced youth seated at the head of the table spoke.

"Principal, if there's nothing else, I'll go continue practicing my swordsmanship..."

Liu Xiong smiled and waved his hand.

"Go on. We can discuss the rest among ourselves."

After the youth left, heated discussion immediately erupted in the meeting room.

"Crossing three minor realms!? If it were anyone else, I'd definitely think he was full of shit!"

"Sure enough, there are only mistaken names, never mistaken nicknames. The White-Clad Little Sword Immortal really is incredible—his aura is through the roof."

"A B-rank Talent is fucking amazing. I wonder whether I'll be able to awaken a Talent..."

Liu Xiong smiled and interrupted them.

"No one can say for certain when it comes to Talents. Don't be too anxious. Maybe tomorrow's exchange tournament will clear your minds, and the next time you advance, you'll awaken a Talent."

The school team coach beside him added.

"Exactly. Xu Ye's fights are indeed highly entertaining. They're relaxing to watch and incredibly satisfying."

"That Chu Sheng fellow was specially recruited by Dragon Martial Academy, so his strength definitely isn't weak either."

"I suggest recording tomorrow's match so everyone can study it more afterward."

At that, all the school team members agreed.

"If that Chu Sheng finds out, he'll definitely lose it, right? It'll be like repeatedly whipping a corpse."

"Can't be helped. Who told him to be so arrogant? Opening Meridian Fifth Layer would scare anyone, but unfortunately for him, he ran into our Little Sword Immortal, who loves fighting above his level. He's destined to become a stepping stone."

"Just Opening Meridian Fifth Layer? We'll make him learn how dangerous the world truly is."

If you enjoy this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
