Immortal Martial: Pushing Through Two Worlds from Reality

He had never imagined that something so vile could happen in his own class.

Tossing a classmate's books and exam papers all by the trash bin—he couldn't even bring himself to believe that Jiang Shu, a student he'd thought decent enough, had done this.

"Tell me, what's this about?"

"Teacher Yan, I just put a few of my books in Jiang Shu's desk while he was on leave. I never expected that the moment he came back, just because of a few jokes I made with him, he'd lift the whole desk without a word and dump my books and papers by the trash."

Wang Han, standing in the office with other teachers present, glossed over the key points, his face barely hiding his anger.

"And that's not all. After Jiang Shu threw my stuff away, he came back with a look like he was about to hit me. Teacher Yan, the school does give Martial Arts Students preferential treatment, but it can't go this far."

"You can't just let a Martial Arts Student get away with campus violence and pretend nothing happened."

"Jiang Shu lifted that desk. Even if he's made progress in martial arts—even if he's reached Qi and Blood Sensing—he's still a student of Fifth High School. If a student hits another student and there's no proper handling, what will outsiders think of our school if word gets out?"

"The only way is a heavy punishment, to set the record straight!"

Wang Han lifted his chin, speaking with conviction, gradually finding his rhythm. Relentless now that he had the upper hand, his tone carried a hint of accusation. He shot a glance at Jiang Shu, who hadn't said a word, as if he'd already won.

What good was it that Jiang Shu could lift a desk?

Would he dare lift a teacher's desk in the office?

Besides throwing books and papers, would he actually hit someone?

Yan Dehou's gaze snapped to Jiang Shu.

But all he saw was Jiang Shu's calm expression—not a trace of panic or guilt.

He didn't look like someone who'd done something wrong at all.

Could it be that this wasn't what Wang Han had described?

Having been a homeroom teacher for over a decade, Yan Dehou naturally wouldn't take just one side's word.

Without jumping to conclusions, he spoke in a steady tone to Wang Han: "Alright, I understand. Wang Han, go back to the classroom first. I'll ask Jiang Shu for the details and see what really happened. You go find your books and papers, get yourself together—class is about to start."

"Right, right, right. Teacher Yan, you really need to have a good talk with Jiang Shu. I'll head back to class now."

He stressed the words "have a good talk," then, knowing when to quit, Wang Han pulled the door open and stepped out. A gust of cold air swept in, and the whole office sank into a stifling silence.

The other teachers busied themselves organizing lesson files, not saying a word.

Conflicts blown out of proportion between students were all too common at school.

As veteran teachers, they heard fresh stories every year.

Looking at Jiang Shu's composed face, Yan Dehou sighed and said:

"Wang Han's gone. Now, can you tell me what really happened? Jiang Shu, Teacher Yan believes you're not the type to use your strength to bully others."

"If you have a conflict, you can argue, you can ignore each other. But throwing his books and papers—that's on you. That was wrong."

"Later, you'll come back to the classroom with me and apologize to Wang Han in front of all the students."

"I'll chime in and smooth things over, say you've admitted your mistake, that it was just a moment of impulse."

Yan Dehou's voice was earnest and weighty:

"I know you're already a Martial Arts Student, and you can get into university through your martial arts level. Lifting a desk shows you've made some progress. But a little progress isn't enough—you need Qi and Blood Sensing to get exempted from exams and enter university."

"So let's just downplay this, settle it quietly. Don't let it reach the school level and get yourself a demerit. That way, it won't cause problems when you apply for jobs later. Listen to me on this—as your teacher, I'd never steer you wrong."

"Teacher Yan, thank you for your concern."

Having lived a life before, Jiang Shu could clearly see the genuine care in Teacher Yan's words. Even after Wang Han's evasive, misleading account, without knowing the truth, he still stood on Jiang Shu's side and thought of his interests.

For any student, meeting a teacher like this during their school years was an incredible stroke of luck.

If he were an ordinary student in this situation, following Teacher Yan's advice—apologizing, bowing his head—that would be the end of it.

But did he, Jiang Shu, need that?

"Teacher Yan, there's surveillance in the classroom. You can check right now what really happened between me and Wang Han."

"Also, I lifted that desk not because I might have reached Qi and Blood Sensing, with a strength of three hundred jin."

"But because... I've already achieved Qi and Blood Transportation."

Jiang Shu's voice was calm, yet he threw down his trump card like a thunderclap splitting the night sky.

From the moment Wang Han had spoken, Jiang Shu had seen through his intent.

Wang Han wanted to sway public opinion, to pit him, a Martial Arts Student, against the school, to pressure the administration into taking his side.

A good plan.

If he were just an ordinary Martial Arts Student, this would already be settled.

Demerit given, apology made.

Even for a typical martial artist at Qi and Blood Sensing.

The school, fearing reputational damage, would push for a handshake and make peace.

Too bad...

He had already achieved Qi and Blood Transportation.

Apologize? Make peace?

If Wang Han were reasonable, he could naturally be reasonable too.

But Wang Han wasn't being reasonable.

He had taken up martial arts, with all his might vested in himself—why should he still reason with him?

Ridiculous to the extreme.

Jiang Shu stood there, aloof.

For a moment, every teacher in the office jerked their heads up, staring at this handsome youth.

Qi and Blood Transportation! Horse Stance mastered! Exempt from exams into a top-tier university!

No one knew their students' level better than the teachers themselves.

Last year's college entrance exams: Ji City Fifth High School had 1,300 examinees, 634 admitted to undergraduate programs.

Only 27 made it into top-tier universities.

That meant the youth before them now was already on par with the school's elite students.

And what was even more chilling to consider—

In just four months of martial training, the youth had already broken through two minor realms: Qi and Blood Sensing, then Qi and Blood Transportation.

Now, there were still three months until the exams.

Who could guarantee he wouldn't go even further?

Aim straight for the academies!

During the new book period, collections and follow-through reads are most important. Brothers who like this book can add it to their collection and scroll to the last page every day—thanks. Extra recommendation tickets are also welcome.

Ji City Fifth High School had been founded for nearly fifty years.

Not a single student had ever been admitted to an academy!

The other teachers could figure that out.

Yan Dehou naturally could too.

Ever since the Xia Kingdom released the Horse Stance and included martial arts in the college entrance exams, teachers like them had been intensely tracking the Martial Arts Students' training progress.

And as far as he knew, even the first student in the school to switch to being a Martial Arts Student hadn't yet reached minor mastery of the Horse Stance!

That student had once been a school-wide star.

In their first and second years, they'd won numerous awards at the school sports meet!

Long-distance running, sprinting, high jump, long jump—basically first place in everything!

Even the PE teacher said that student was born for sports.

Maybe they could even win glory for the country someday.

But even a talented student like that, after over three months of hard training in martial arts, had only just entered the door. By the time of the exams, their martial realm might only let them skip into an ordinary university.

And now Jiang Shu claimed he had already reached Qi and Blood Transportation!

Qi and Blood Transportation—that was mastery of the Horse Stance!

One step further, and it would be Full Body Vital Energy Circulation, with a strength of nine hundred jin!

That kind of strength already surpassed the current weightlifting champion.

How could he believe it!

How dare he believe it!

Every teacher in the office stopped what they were doing. Ears perked, eyes fixed on Jiang Shu.
