In the trial grounds at this moment, only the last three people remained.

The other trial participants watched the three with horror.

To endure for so long under such pain, were these still normal people? Hadn't they awakened some special attribute?

Lin Xuan stared at Jiang Ye, his eyelids twitching incessantly.

He secretly thought, Could this guy, like me, also feel that pleasure?

With that thought, Lin Xuan walked over to Li Zhichao, who was not far away, and whispered, "What's your classmate's name?"

"He's Jiang Ye."

Li Zhichao stared at the stage, also feeling a sense of unwillingness.

In all three trials, his results had been completely suppressed by Jiang Ye!

Damn it, this guy must have taken some special medicine, no wonder he wouldn't tell me!

Li Zhichao thought to himself, I'll definitely have to interrogate him properly later!

Lin Xuan's pupils also contracted.

So he's Jiang Ye?

Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Ye and thought, The person who got a perfect score in Martial Arts Will, it was him?

He and Jiang Ye were strangers; he hadn't known Jiang Ye's name before.

It seems not everyone in the regular class is trash.

Lin Xuan nodded inwardly.

It's a shame I'm still in the first year. If I were already in the second year, this Jiang Ye wouldn't even be qualified to be my opponent.

In the trial grounds, Jiang Ye sat cross-legged.

At this moment, his physical body felt as if it were being devoured by endless sulfuric acid; every inch of his skin, muscles, and bones was enduring immense pain.

"Endure!"

Jiang Ye closed his eyes tightly, gritting his teeth.

He wasn't purely trying to compete for first place.

More importantly, he discovered that this pain was greatly beneficial to his physical body!

Every time the throbbing pain reached its peak, a trace of faint pleasure would surge within Jiang Ye.

This was because.

After the gas containing thunder and fire energy entered his body, it would furiously temper all his cells.

Although this process was extremely painful.

As long as he could withstand it, he would undoubtedly benefit greatly.

[Cultivation Method]

Star Martial Cultivation Method: Great Accomplishment (41% → 42%)

Tempering the physical body with Starry Sky Energy is truly amazing.

In just half an hour, it's surpassed a day's worth of my cultivation results!

After the cultivation method reached Great Accomplishment, one could use a small amount of Star Energy to temper themselves.

This could accelerate the speed of cultivation.

According to the teacher, Star Energy was extremely expensive, and only the super-rich could afford it.

But this trial was completely free.

This was a rare opportunity, so Jiang Ye naturally wanted to persevere until the very last moment.

Time flowed by.

In the blink of an eye, another fifteen minutes passed.

On the platform, Wang Ziang's gaze also became somewhat sharp. He said in a deep voice, "Phase four, activate!"

Whoosh!

Instantly, a powerful energy fluctuation erupted from the trial grounds.

Even the students standing on the periphery turned pale and retreated one after another.

Even standing outside the trial grounds, they could sense a familiar, sharp pain!

Not to mention the three people in the center of the trial grounds.

At this moment, Jiang Ye felt as if his skin was being cut open, with boiling acid soaking his nerves.

Pain! It was too painful!

"I give up!"

Just then, a loud shout was heard.

Xu Lei abruptly pressed the button and exited the trial.

Three minutes later.

Jiang Ye finally reached his limit and pressed the button.

If he held on any longer, he suspected he would pass out on the spot!

At this moment, only the red-robed girl remained in the arena.

Zeng Xueqing did not give up immediately just because Jiang Ye had withdrawn.

On the contrary, she continued to persevere.

It was only ten minutes later that she suddenly pressed the abandon button.

"What a monster!"

Below the stage, Xu Lei glanced at Jiang Ye, who was not far away.

He wasn't surprised that Zeng Xueqing could last until the end.

But Jiang Ye? A student from a regular class, and he lasted longer than him!

Everyone else present also looked at Jiang Ye with shock.

In this trial, Jiang Ye was undoubtedly the biggest dark horse.

Even Wang Ziang, standing on the platform, looked at Jiang Ye with deep eyes.

The 'hidden dragon' the director mentioned that day, was it him? Or was it me?

At this moment, even Wang Ziang was a little unsure.

But at this time, Jiang Ye paid no attention to the gazes of others.

He looked at his panel.

[Cultivation Method]

Star Martial Cultivation Method: Great Accomplishment (43%)

"In less than an hour, it increased by 2%."

Jiang Ye sighed inwardly, "Is this Starry Sky Energy? It's astonishing."

At the same time, he also felt some regret.

If his cultivation method had already broken through 50%, he might have been able to last longer and gain more benefits.

Like Zeng Xueqing, her cultivation method might have already reached over 90%.

The reason Jiang Ye could last this long was entirely due to his Martial Arts will.

Just then, on the large screen in front, the scores for the Thunder Fire Trial had already been refreshed.

[Zeng Xueqing: 480 points]

[Jiang Ye: 430 points]

[Xu Lei: 400 points]

Following that, the total scores for the three trials were revealed.

[First Place: Zeng Xueqing, 970 points]

[Second Place: Jiang Ye, 915 points]

[Third Place: Xu Lei, 850 points]

[Fourth Place: Lin Xuan, 800 points]

In the hall, everyone was astonished.

"First place, only 30 points away from a perfect score!"

"So strong."

"Second place, Jiang Ye, is also very surprising. A student from a regular class actually achieved this score."

Amidst the uproar.

Lin Xuan also glanced in Jiang Ye's direction and thought to himself, "Jiang Ye. I'll remember you."

"There's still a month until school starts. By then, I hope you can still be above me."

Lin Xuan set Jiang Ye as a temporary goal.

Although he was from Ancheng First Middle School, he could still find out the exam results of Ancheng Third Middle School.

When the new semester begins, regardless of which school, there will be a baseline assessment.

Lin Xuan was confident he could surpass Jiang Ye within this month.

"This trial has concluded!"

On the platform, Wang Ziang announced loudly, "Fifteen participants have passed this trial and will receive a 30,000 yuan bonus."

"The top three will come forward to receive the advanced Art Technique—Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist!"

As the words fell.

In the center of the hall, the golden silk jade brocade box rose from the ground.

The red-dressed girl Zeng Xueqing was the first to walk onto the stage.

Jiang Ye and Xu Lei also quickly stepped forward.

When the box was opened, they saw three metal bracelets placed inside. Beside the bracelets, a mini stereo was also placed.

"Thunder sound, it really comes from the stereo," Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow.

The [Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist] should be inside the metal bracelets.

The three each took their own bracelet.

Jiang Ye opened his bracelet, and a projection immediately appeared inside, displaying the cover of the Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist.

"It's a holographic bracelet," his heart skipped a beat.

This bracelet alone was probably worth a lot of money.

Jiang Ye put away the bracelet, planning to practice it later.

Just then, Zeng Xueqing suddenly said to him, "Jiang Ye, you'll come to the Key Class, right?"

Jiang Ye nodded, "Probably."

Now, he was absolutely confident he could enter the Key Class.

The only difference was whether he entered early or late.

Zeng Xueqing looked at him and said softly, "You are a very good opponent. I hope that after you enter the Key Class, I will have the chance to have a fair fight with you!"

"If there's a chance, we can try," Jiang Ye smiled.

He didn't regard Zeng Xueqing as his goal or rival.

Even though her current ranking was higher than his.

But for Jiang Ye, surpassing her was only a matter of time.

Compared to Zeng Xueqing, Jiang Ye was more concerned about Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan, fourth place," Jiang Ye looked at the rankings.

The other party was only a first-year student, a full year below him, yet their strength was not much different from his.

"A-grade physique, as expected, is very strong," Jiang Ye was quite envious. "If I also had an A-grade physique, I would have definitely taken first place in this trial."

For anyone else, there was no way to change such innate factors.

Fortunately, Jiang Ye had a chance.

Just as Jiang Ye was sighing inwardly.

Below the stage, Li Zhichao clenched his fists.

In this trial, he only got sixth place.

This ranking was actually quite good, already catching up to the students at the bottom of the Key Class.

But compared to Jiang Ye, the difference was too great.

At this moment, all three of Jiang Ye had received their rewards and were walking off the stage one after another.

Seeing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Li Zhichao's eyes.

This time, he had to force the other party to reveal what special medicine he had taken!

No matter the cost!

With that thought, Li Zhichao immediately walked up to Jiang Ye.

"Do you need something?" Jiang Ye looked at him doubtfully.

"Godfather!"

Li Zhichao grabbed his hand and pleaded in a low voice, "What medicine did you take? Can you tell me privately? I want to take it too!"

"..."

Jiang Ye looked at him speechlessly.

Had this guy gone mad?!
