A Show of Force

Lin Qiu strode in, chest puffed out, the first to enter the Training Room of the Key Class.

Jiang Hao and two others followed, their expressions varied.

Inside the hall!

As Lin Qiu and the other three entered, twenty sharp gazes swept over them in unison!

The air here seemed heavier than outside.

The owners of each gaze carried a blood-qi fluctuation far exceeding that of the Ordinary Class. These were the top geniuses of Longxing Eighth Martial High.

Grandmaster Mentor Luo Cheng stood calmly at the front of the group.

"The four new students have arrived."

"As per tradition, introduce yourselves."

Zhang Yuan from Class 3-1 stepped forward first, his voice a little nervous.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Yuan, D-Class Treatment. Please guide me."

Li Mo from Class 3-3 also gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"Li Mo, D-Class Treatment. Please guide me."

Next was Lin Qiu.

The arrogance on Lin Qiu's face had long since vanished, replaced by a gentle demeanor.

"My name is Lin Qiu, D-Class Treatment!"

"Please guide me!"

Lin Qiu finished his introduction!

This time, it was the Key Class students' turn to discuss.

"D-Class? He's Lin Qiu?"

"Lin Fan's younger brother? He only got D-Class Treatment?"

"Heh, looks like his brother's resources couldn't make him shine either."

Lin Qiu listened to these harsh discussions, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground!

Finally, it was Jiang Hao's turn.

Jiang Hao took a step forward, standing in the center of the training area.

"Jiang Hao."

Luo Cheng's gaze fell on him, and he added abruptly.

"B-Class Treatment."

"Boom!"

B-Class!

These two words formed an incredibly stark and dazzling contrast with the previous D-Class Treatment!

"B-Class Treatment?!"

"He's that Jiang Hao?"

"What a joke! He's a New Student who just came from the Ordinary Class, and he's directly getting B-Class?"

"The other three are all D-Class?"

"What's the justification for that? Among the twenty of us here, only eight have B-Class now!"

"Interesting, looks like we can have one more person, and hold one more B-Class contract!"

The discussions instantly became noisy!

All eyes fell on Jiang Hao!

However, Jiang Hao's demeanor remained as calm as still water.

This composure, unfazed even under the gaze of over twenty talented individuals, made Luo Cheng glance at him more than once.

"Very good."

Luo Cheng's voice suppressed all the noise, and he said with a slight curl of his lips:

"To help the four New Students integrate into the Key Class more quickly."

"We will now begin the New Student Welcome Party."

"The rules are very simple."

"Senior Students can choose one New Student to engage in a friendly spar."

"Remember, it's a friendly spar, stopping at the right moment."

As the words fell.

A Senior Student stepped forward.

"Mentor Luo, I choose Zhang Yuan."

"Alright."

The two went on stage. This senior student clearly held back. After ten moves, he "friendly" defeated Zhang Yuan.

Although Zhang Yuan lost, he wasn't flustered. Instead, he bowed gratefully.

"Thank you for the guidance, Senior."

Following that.

Another female student stepped forward.

"I choose Li Mo."

It was also a "friendly" spar that stopped before any real harm was done.

Now, only two new students remained on the stage.

One was Lin Qiu.

The other was Jiang Hao.

Everyone's gaze turned playful.

Just then.

A figure no one expected slowly stood up.

It was Lin Fan!

The top-three prodigy of the Key Class!

He was actually going to enter the arena himself?

"Mentor Luo."

Lin Fan's face held a gentle smile, as if bathed in spring breeze.

"May I spar with this classmate Jiang Hao?"

"I am about him."

"Very curious."

Luo Cheng's master-level eyes narrowed slightly. He naturally knew what Lin Fan was thinking. It was both to stand up for his younger brother and to put this new student in his place, maintaining his own authority.

"You may."

"But Lin Fan, you must remember."

"This is a friendly spar."

"Of course."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, then he turned to look at Jiang Hao.

"Classmate Jiang Hao, please."

In an instant, the focus of the entire venue converged on Jiang Hao!

Lin Fan was going to personally take action and suppress this B-class New Student!

Lin Qiu, standing nearby, watched with schadenfreude in his eyes.

Jiang Hao glanced around, walked to the side, took out an Alloy Spear, and then walked to the center of the arena.

Jiang Hao said calmly, "Please guide me, Senior."

"Classmate Jiang Hao, no need to be polite. During the assessment, your attack power reached 10.5!"

Lin Fan casually walked to the weapon rack, drew an Alloy practice saber, and said, "Senior will come and learn from Junior's strength."

With that said!

The two instantly faced each other from a distance.

Lin Fan's Vitality was 12.0!

Jiang Hao's Vitality was 9.5!

This was, in the eyes of ordinary people, an insurmountable chasm!

"Please."

Jiang Hao was not polite.

He knew that facing an opponent like this, any probing was superfluous!

He made the first move!

He started with a "Mid-Level Stab" from the Basic Spear Technique!

But this spear thrust was different!

No sound of wind!

No air explosion!

Only an extremely fast cold glint shot straight for Lin Fan's throat!

The smile on Lin Fan's face slightly faded.

"So fast a spear!"

Lin Fan said, casually blocking with his battle saber!

"Clang!"

A crisp sound!

Lin Fan felt a steady force transmitted from the saber!

This force was far beyond what 9.5 Blood Qi should possess!

Before he could counterattack!

Jiang Hao's spear momentum had already unfolded!

"Flick!"

"Sweep!"

"Thrust!"

Jiang Hao's spear technique was fluid and smooth, as fast as lightning!

Every move was simple and unadorned!

Returning to the basics!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Following the exchange!

Lin Fan's expression gradually turned solemn from his initial casualness!

He was suppressed!

Not suppressed by strength!

But by skill!

His 12.0 Blood Qi, powering his basic saber techniques, was actually forced into a passive defense by Jiang Hao's continuous spear momentum!

"What... what is going on?"

"Senior Lin Fan is being suppressed?"

"Impossible, Senior Lin Fan has 12.0 Blood Qi!"

The Key Class students watching from the side were all stunned!

Luo Cheng, standing on the high platform, also had his eyes flash with brilliance!

In the crowd!

Su Qingning's deep blue beautiful eyes rippled with faint waves!

"No!"

A Senior Student with B-Class Treatment exclaimed in horror.

"Every shot from Jiang Hao is flawless! Unity of Man and Spear!"

"This... this is..."

"Perfection!"

"Basic Spear Technique... the Realm of Perfection!"

After blocking once more, Lin Fan used the force to leap back, his expression slightly solemn!

"Basic Spear Technique Perfection!"

These words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder!

"It really is Perfection!"

"A student from the Ordinary Class could train Basic Spear Technique to Perfection!"

"No wonder he can get B-Class Treatment!"

The entire venue erupted in an uproar!

Lin Fan's expression was calm. He had intended to crush his opponent easily and establish his authority, but he didn't expect to be "slapped in the face" publicly by the other party instead!

"Spear Technique Perfection!"

"Very good."

"Junior, you truly deserve the B-Class Treatment to enter the Key Class. Next, Senior will get a bit more serious!"

Lin Fan stopped holding back!

"Martial Skill Clear Wind Chaos!"

Buzz--!

Lin Fan's battle saber in his hand instantly turned into a hazy blade light, the blade light like a gentle breeze, penetrating everywhere!

This was a Martial Master Level Skill!

It was a true killing move far surpassing the Shadowless Blade!

This blade net instantly sealed off all of Jiang Hao's escape routes!

"It's Senior Lin Fan's Martial Master Level Skill!"

"Even Perfected Spearmanship can't block this move!"

Facing this terrifying killing move!

Jiang Hao's expression finally turned solemn!

"Tidal Wave Spear Technique!"

"First Wave!"

Jiang Hao unleashed his martial skill without hesitation!

He merged his 9.5 Blood Qi with the Entry-level Martial Skill Force!

His spear turned into a black line, fiercely stabbing towards the center of the blade net!

"Boom!"

An attack power of 10.5 collided head-on with the sky-filling blade shadows!

The air waves exploded!

Jiang Hao's "First Wave" was instantly shredded by the stronger blade net!

Lin Fan's 12.0 Blood Qi, combined with the Martial Master Level Skill, was too strong!

Dozens of blade shadows, with undiminished momentum, broke through the defense!

Jiang Hao's pupils contracted. The Perfected Spearmanship in his hand danced wildly, blocking the vital points on his chest!

"Clang clang clang!"

The terrifying immense force!

Caused Jiang Hao to retreat several steps in succession!

But even so, one blade shadow still broke through Jiang Hao's defense, attacking like a ghost!

Jiang Hao felt a chill run through his body in an instant, feeling as if his head had been severed!

In the nick of time!

Luo Cheng made his move!

With a casual flick, he extinguished Lin Fan's martial skill blade light!

At this moment!

The entire venue fell into instant silence!

Lin Fan had won.

But in the next second, under the gaze of all the students, Lin Fan dispersed the Blood Qi around him. He looked at Jiang Hao, a hint of "frustration" and "bitter smile" appearing on his face.

"Classmate Jiang Hao..."

Lin Fan shook his head and put away his battle saber.

"I lost."

"!"

The entire venue was stunned!

"My Blood Qi Intensity was already superior to yours, and coupled with the Martial Master Level Skill, even if I defeated you, it would be an unfair victory."

Lin Fan sighed deeply and, facing Jiang Hao, cupped his fists slightly.

"Therefore, this spar, I have lost."

"Classmate Jiang Hao, I, Lin, admire your strength!"

"Whoosh--!"

This caused the Key Class to erupt!

"Lin Fan... conceded?"

"Jiang Hao won?"

"What kind of bullshit is winning or losing, Lin Fan didn't even use his full strength!"

"It's obvious Lin Fan is being humble; otherwise, with his full power, he could have taken this guy down with one strike."

Regarding Lin Fan's sudden concession, Jiang Hao's expression was calm, but a coldness arose within him:

"Thank you, Senior Lin..."

"for the guidance."

Jiang Hao accepted the "apology."

Beside him.

Lin Qiu watched the scene quietly, almost bursting into laughter.

He forcibly suppressed his smile!

He sneered inwardly.

His brother Lin Fan was here, already deeply entrenched in the Key Class. How could Jiang Hao compete with him!

How many days can you keep this B-Class Treatment!

Big brother is too strong!

He's avenging me!

Is 10.5 something to be proud of?

Outside, your brother Lin Fan can kill you in one blow!
