Pervert!

Rongguang City!

First Martial High, Key Class, Virtual Immersion Device area.

Zhao Feng suddenly sat up from the Virtual Immersion Device, his face pale, a trace of Cold Sweat from the virtual combat feedback still on his forehead.

"Hah..."

Zhao Feng gasped for air, lingering shock and disbelief still vivid in his eyes.

"Zhao Feng? Why are you out so fast?"

A youth who had just finished a match on a nearby device walked over, puzzled.

"Yeah, Old Zhao, you look off. Ran into a tough one?"

Two others, Li Wei and Zhang Tao, also finished their training and gathered around.

These three were Zhao Feng's close friends in First Martial High's Key Class.

Their Blood Qi Intensity hovered between 10.0 and 10.2.

Zhao Feng lifted his head, wiped his face, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Yeah. Met a pervert."

"A pervert?"

Li Wei chuckled and patted his shoulder.

"Come on, with your 10.0 Blood Qi, you're decent even in the Key Class. Who could one-shot you except the top dogs?"

"Ran into a big shot?"

Zhao Feng shook his head, his expression incredibly strange.

"No."

"He's not a big shot."

"He's a newbie."

"Blood Qi... 9.5."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Tao nearly spat out the water he'd just drunk.

"9.5?"

"Old Zhao, you messing with us?"

"You, with 10.0 Blood Qi, got taken down by a 9.5 guy?"

"Did you go easy?"

"Go easy?"

Zhao Feng was beyond words!

"I didn't go easy at all!"

"You guys didn't see that freak!"

Zhao Feng took a deep breath, forcing down the shock in his heart, and said:

"That guy's from Eighth Martial High. Name's Jiang Hao."

"Eighth Martial High? Su Qingning's school? Never heard of him."

Li Wei frowned.

Zhao Feng's face turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it, I thought he was a rookie at first too!"

"But as soon as the duel started, that guy... his Basic Spear Technique was at Perfected Spearmanship!"

"What?"

"Perfected?"

Li Wei, Zhang Tao, and the others—the smiles on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by astonishment!

"A 9.5 Blood Qi guy mastered Perfected Spearmanship?"

"That's some damn good talent!"

Zhang Tao quickly caught on.

"But that still doesn't add up!"

"Old Zhao, even if he has Perfected Spearmanship, you're at 10.0 Blood Qi, he's at 9.5!"

"You're a full 0.5 higher than him!"

"How could he one-shot you? You could've worn him down with raw Blood Qi!"

"..."

Zhao Feng's face had turned the color of a pig's liver as he ground out through clenched teeth:

"He was holding back a martial skill!"

"I was about to clash Blood Qi with him, but he whipped out a skill and stabbed straight through my throat!"

"I didn't even see the shadow of his move!"

"Perfected Spearmanship plus a high-burst martial skill..."

"This guy's a real player!"

Li Wei and the other two were completely dumbfounded.

They exchanged blank looks.

9.5 Blood Qi.

Perfected basic martial skills.

And he'd mastered a lethal Ranked Martial Skill on top of that.

Eighth Martial High... had produced another monstrous talent!

As for what was happening at First Martial High—

Jiang Hao naturally had no idea.

By now, he was utterly immersed in the thrill of combat.

That fight with Zhao Feng was only the beginning!

[Ding, completed one "Tidal Wave Spear Technique" drill (combat mode)!]

[Proficiency +15!]

This kind of rapid proficiency gain hooked Jiang Hao completely!

For the rest of the afternoon, Jiang Hao turned into a matchmaking maniac!

[Matching...]

"Begin!"

"Pfft!"

[Jiang Hao (Eighth Martial High) defeats XX (Second Martial High)!]

[Ding! Proficiency +10!]

[Matching...]

"Begin!"

"Clang! Clang! Pfft!"

[Jiang Hao (Eighth Martial High) defeats XXX (Fifth Martial High)!]

[Ding! Proficiency +15!]

Jiang Hao held nothing back!

Every fight went all out!

He opened with Perfected Spearmanship suppression!

The moment he spotted an opening, he'd unleash Tidal Wave Spear Technique—First Wave, instant kill!

Across the entire Rongguang City Senior Year Key Class arena, any opponent with Blood Qi Intensity below 10.5

was crushed under his unstoppable momentum, one after another.

Until...

[Tip: Real-world class is about to end. The Virtual Immersion System will automatically log out in three minutes.]

The prompt sounded, and Jiang Hao reluctantly stopped matching.

Standing in the Virtual Training Ground, he let out a long exhale of Turbid Qi.

That felt amazing!

Then he immediately opened the Heaven Rewards Diligence System.

After just one afternoon of frantic combat, his panel had undergone a radical transformation!

[Host: Jiang Hao]

[Strength: Martial Trainee (Blood Qi Intensity 9.5)]

[Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery Revolutions (85/100)]

[Martial Skill: Spear Technique · Perfection (55/100), Tidal Wave Spear Technique · Initiation (90/100)]

One afternoon!

The proficiency of Spear Technique Perfection had surged by 45 points!

Tidal Wave Spear Technique had skyrocketed from 50 points all the way to 90!

"Just 10 points away from Minor Accomplishment!"

Junior Jiang Hao's heart burned with excitement!

"Barring any surprises!"

"Tomorrow, my Tidal Wave Spear Technique will break through to the Minor Accomplishment realm!"

By then, he might even grasp the "Second Wave"!

"Beep--"

Accompanied by the prompt tone, Jiang Hao logged out of the Virtual Immersion System.

He sat up from the aviation chair, stretched his body, and felt refreshed and clear-headed.

On the High Platform.

Mentor Luo Cheng announced the dismissal.

"Alright, today's lesson ends here."

"New Student, get familiar with the environment quickly."

"Dismissed!"

Jiang Hao was about to leave.

However.

Several figures blocked his path.

It was Lin Fan and Lin Qiu, along with a few others Jiang Hao didn't recognize!

The Senior Students around, who had been about to leave, paused in their steps and watched with interest.

Lin Fan still wore that warm, spring-like smile.

"Junior Jiang Hao."

Lin Fan spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet carrying an inexplicable pressure.

"Your strength is indeed impressive."

"Your B-Class Treatment is well-deserved."

Lin Fan shifted his tone, his smile unchanged, but his eyes turned a few degrees colder.

"However."

"The Key Class isn't the Ordinary Class."

"The waters here run deep."

"Junior Jiang Hao, take care of yourself."

These polite words were laced with undisguised warning and threat!

Lin Fan finished speaking, no longer looking at Jiang Hao, and turned to leave.

Lin Qiu, at Lin Fan's side, paused for a moment as he brushed past.

Lin Qiu flashed Jiang Hao a provocative smile.

He didn't speak.

He just silently mouthed four words with his lips.

"You."

"Are."

"Done."

"For."

After doing this, Lin Qiu quickly caught up with Lin Fan's retreating figure, smug and triumphant.

Jiang Hao stood still, his expression calm, but deep within his tranquil eyes, a flicker of icy coldness passed by.

This Lin Qiu.

Had come to provoke him time and again.

Jiang Hao had already made up his mind.

If he got the chance!

He would be ruthless without mercy!

The surrounding classmates were all watching the commotion in hushed tones.

"Tsk tsk, Senior Lin Fan personally stepped in to put him in his place."

"This Jiang Hao was too flashy, demanding B-Class treatment the moment he arrived—he was bound to be targeted."

"Interesting. Looks like there's going to be some drama."

Yet.

Just when everyone thought the show was over.

A figure moved, freezing the air in the entire hall.

The Number One Genius of the Senior Year Key Class.

The Campus Belle of Eighth Martial High.

Su Qingning!

Her snow-white hair shimmered under the lights. She ignored Lin Fan, who was about to leave through the doorway, and disregarded the stunned gazes of everyone present.

Su Qingning walked straight up to Jiang Hao!

The whole venue was dumbfounded!

Lin Fan's step at the door froze mid-air.

He turned his head slowly, the smile on his face vanishing completely.

Lin Qiu's smugness also stiffened on his face.

Su Qingning?

What was she doing with Jiang Hao?

Su Qingning stopped in front of Jiang Hao, her beautiful blue eyes gazing at him with cool detachment.

"Jiang Hao?"

Her voice was as cold and pure as a snow lotus, just like her presence.

A flicker of surprise crossed Jiang Hao's expression. He hadn't expected Su Qingning to approach him on her own.

"That's me."

"Mm."

Su Qingning gave a faint nod.

"Just joined the Key Class. Getting used to it?"

Was she... concerned about him?

All the geniuses in the Key Class around them nearly popped their eyes out!

"It's fine."

Jiang Hao paused for a moment, then nodded calmly.

"Good."

Su Qingning's tone carried no ripple of emotion.

"The Virtual Immersion System has many functions."

"If you run into any questions about cultivation or the system..."

"You can come ask me."

Jiang Hao was taken aback again.

He looked into Su Qingning's clear, untainted eyes, completely baffled as to why she was extending a hand of goodwill to him.

Still, he nodded.

"Alright."

"Thanks."

Su Qingning said no more. She nodded once, turned, and walked away without another word.
