When the miserable figure of Lin Qiu was carried out of the Training Room by medical robots, the deathly silence in Class 3-2 was finally shattered!
"Whoa--!"
A roar like a tsunami erupted, practically blowing the roof off the Training Room!
"He won! He actually won!"
"Lin Qiu, with his 9.0 Vitality, was just defeated like that? I can't believe it!"
"My god! What did I just see?"
"What kind of spear technique was that? Why was Lin Qiu's Shadowless Blade like paper in front of him?"
"Perfected! That was definitely the Perfected realm of spearmanship!"
"9.0 Vitality! Perfected Basic Spearmanship! Our class... has produced a monster!"
"Is he really a Dust-grade Martial Bone? How is this possible! This isn't scientific!"
Every student looked at Jiang Hao, who was slowly retracting his spear with a calm expression, as if he were a monster.
In this moment, that name was deeply branded into the souls of everyone in Class 3-2.
The result of this battle was like a Category 12 superstorm.
In just a few hours, it was no longer confined to Class 3-2.
It spread at a terrifying speed throughout all the regular classes of the senior year, and even... reached the Senior Year Key Classes!
"Did you hear? Jiang Hao from Class 2 took out Lin Qiu with a single strike!"
"Which Lin Qiu? The younger brother of Lin Fan from the Key Class?"
"Yeah! That's the one! I heard he just broke through to 9.0 and had mastered the Shadowless Blade! But he got wrecked, spear and all, in one hit. His sternum was completely shattered!"
"Who is this Jiang Hao? He's that fierce?!"
"No idea! I heard his entrance exam showed a Dust-grade Martial Bone! But now... who would believe that?"
"Going from 8.1 to 9.0 in a month, and mastering Perfected Spearmanship—this guy must be a god!"
Throughout the entire Longxing Eighth Martial High, every senior student was buzzing about this name that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
For the first time, Jiang Hao had truly entered the field of vision of the entire school's student body!
Rongguang City!
Lin Family Villa.
Lin Qiu's face was deathly pale. His chest was wrapped in thick Biological Bandages, and he stood in the living room with his head bowed.
Sitting on the sofa in front of him was a young man who shared a slight resemblance to him, but whose presence was ten times more piercing.
He was Lin Qiu's older brother in the Key Class, Lin Fan.
Lin Fan held a cup of hot tea and slowly swept his gaze over his younger brother's miserable appearance.
"Trash."
Lin Fan spat out the two words indifferently.
Lin Qiu's face flushed red instantly, filled with shame, embarrassment, and unwillingness.
"Brother, I didn't want this either!"
"Who knew that guy was such a freak!"
"He also has 9.0 Blood Vitality, and his spear technique... it was too bizarre. It's definitely at the Perfection Realm!"
"Perfection?"
Lin Fan's hand holding the tea paused slightly, then he let out a soft huff.
"A loss is a loss."
After saying this, Lin Fan took a small metal vial from his pocket and tossed it onto the table.
"Inside is a High-grade Nutrient Solution."
Lin Qiu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Brother, this is..."
"The Key Class assessment is in seven days."
Lin Fan's tone was icy.
"Drink this Nutrient Solution and push your Blood Vitality to 9.3 within seven days!"
"As for the Shadowless Blade, what you've been practicing is absolute dogshit."
"I will guide you personally over these next few days!"
"On the day of the assessment, you will win back our reputation in front of the entire school!"
Lin Fan had taught this martial art to Lin Qiu so that he could secure a leading position in the ordinary class, not so he could have his blade snapped by a single spear strike!
"Good, good, good!"
Upon hearing this, the dejection on Lin Qiu's face was swept away, replaced by wild ecstasy.
"Thank you, brother!"
"I understand!"
"Seven days from now, I will definitely make that brat... wish he were dead!"
Jiang Family.
Jiang Keke had just finished showering and was drying her hair when her Personal Terminal began to vibrate frantically.
It was a call from her best friend.
"Keke! Keke! Something huge has happened!"
As soon as she answered, her friend's voice came through.
"Your brother has gone to heaven!"
"What?"
Jiang Keke was stunned.
"You don't know yet?"
"Your brother, Jiang Hao, was in the Training Room this afternoon and took out Lin Qiu—the younger brother of Lin Fan from the Key Class, the one with 9.0 Vitality—in a single strike!"
"What?!"
The motion of Jiang Keke drying her hair froze abruptly!
"It's true! It's spread all over the school now!"
"Everyone is saying your brother has 9.0 Vitality and Perfected Spearmanship!"
"One month, going from 8.1 to 9.0, oh my god!"
"Keke, your brother's rate of progress, even if he were in the Key Class, would be among the very best. It's so eye-catching!"
"Perfected... Spear Mastery?"
Jiang Keke was stunned as she listened to her best friend's words.
Her little head was buzzing.
This guy...
The image of her brother's calm expression surfaced in Jiang Keke's mind, and she was suddenly struck by an intense sense of crisis.
Could it... could it really be that I'm about to be surpassed by him?
Just then.
"Click."
A sound came from the front door; Jiang Hao had returned.
Jiang Keke darted out of her room like a shot.
"Brother!"
She arrived in front of Jiang Hao, her large eyes wide, and looked him up and down before smiling.
"Congratulations!"
Jiang Hao's expression shifted slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"You heard about it too?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Keke snapped back to reality, immediately placing her hands on her slender waist and lifting her fair little chin in triumph.
"You don't know who you're talking to!"
"Hmph, it seems those fifty thousand Alliance Coins I spent weren't wasted after all!"
Jiang Hao smiled slightly at her words. He reached out and ruffled Jiang Keke's still-damp hair.
"Thanks."
"Hey!"
Jiang Keke swatted his hand away. Suddenly remembering something, her expression turned serious.
"Right, Brother, I have to warn you about something."
"My best friend found out the details."
"That Lin Qiu you hit is in the Senior Year Key Class, and he has an older brother named Lin Fan."
"That guy is a top-tier student at our school, a guaranteed candidate for a Key Martial Arts University!"
"I heard his Blood Qi Intensity is already at 12!"
"And he has even mastered two Martial Skills to Great Success!"
Jiang Keke's tone turned grave.
"The Senior Year Key Class assessment is only a few days away."
"You must be careful!"
Jiang Hao remained calm after hearing this. He looked at his sister's concerned eyes and smiled slightly once more.
"Thank you, Keke."
"Hmph!"
Jiang Keke's pretty face flushed red in an instant.
She turned her head away with a hint of tsundere attitude.
"You're my brother. Isn't it normal for a younger sister to be concerned about her older brother?"
"I... my hair isn't dry yet!"
"I'm going back to my room!"
With that, Jiang Keke ran back to her room with a rhythmic "thump, thump, thump."
Watching Jiang Keke enter her room, Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lin Fan from the Key Class, huh?
A Blood Qi Intensity of 12!
Two Martial Skills at Great Success!
If he were to step in and coach Lin Qiu, allowing Lin Qiu to take revenge during the Key Class assessment, then that would indeed put some pressure on me!
There are only seven days left until the Key Class assessment!
It looks like the Low-grade Nutrient Solution isn't enough!
I'll switch to the medium-grade ones so that my Blood Qi Intensity can increase faster.
