Zhao Wuji's Provocation

Rongguang City, Central Rich District, Su Family Villa.

It was already late at night. Su Anan, wearing pajamas, sat cross-legged on her sister Su Qingning's bed, saying with a helpless expression:

"Sis, do you know how much trouble your actions this afternoon caused my best friend's brother!"

Su Qingning was sitting at her desk, flipping through an ancient Martial Arts Classic.

Upon hearing this, she turned her head slightly, a hint of confusion appearing on her clear, cold, and stunning face.

"Trouble?"

"I just saw his potential and wanted to recruit him into my University Team in advance."

"What's the trouble with that?"

Su Anan helplessly covered her face and let out a wail.

"Uh..."

"Sis, don't you know how popular you are at our school?"

"You call that 'seeing potential'?"

"In other people's eyes, that was practically a public declaration of a relationship!"

"Now the whole school is spreading rumors that you've fallen in love!"

"Think about it, can your suitors let Jiang Hao off the hook?"

"He's just a newcomer who entered the Key Class, won't they tear him apart alive!"

Su Qingning's page-turning paused slightly upon hearing this, a flicker of surprise flashing in her Sea-like Eyes.

She truly hadn't considered this aspect.

In her world, there was only cultivation and becoming stronger.

These complicated interpersonal relationships and so-called gossip were never within her scope of consideration.

"So that's how it is."

Su Qingning nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems I was inconsiderate and caused him trouble."

Saying this, Su Qingning closed the classic in her hands, her expression returning to its usual cold and calm demeanor.

"Since that's the case."

"I'll go apologize to him tomorrow."

"And clarify things in class too."

"Saying he's someone I'm optimistic about, and that I was preparing to team up."

Su Anan's mouth opened slightly upon hearing this, wanting to say something, but she ultimately closed it helplessly.

She always felt her older sister's actions...

Seemed like they would only deepen the misunderstanding!

The next day.

Early morning.

The moment Jiang Hao stepped into the exclusive Teaching Building for the Key Class.

As expected.

Jiang Hao instantly became the focus of the entire hall.

That feeling of being watched, like a thorn in his back, was ten times stronger than yesterday.

Envy, jealousy, curiosity, hostility... all sorts of gazes seemed to pierce right through him.

Jiang Hao's expression was calm, ignoring it all, and he walked straight to the Training Hall.

Assembly time arrived.

Mentor Luo Cheng's figure appeared on the High Platform precisely on time.

"The first thing today."

"Is to distribute the monthly resources for the newly promoted Key Class students."

Luo Cheng waved his hand.

Four exquisite silver Metal Boxes floated respectively in front of Jiang Hao and the other three.

Jiang Hao reached out and took one.

He opened the box.

Five Potion bottles, emitting a strong energy fluctuation, lay quietly in the shock-absorbing foam.

Medium-grade Nutrient Solution!

A full five bottles!

Jiang Hao's heart surged with excitement.

This was a resource worth fifty thousand Alliance Coins!

And it would be every month from now on!

"There are still seven months until the Martial Arts Exam."

"Five per month means thirty-five in total!"

"Aiming for Key Martial Arts University is definitely no longer an unattainable dream!"

Just as Jiang Hao was secretly planning his future.

"Boom!"

The door to the Training Hall was suddenly pushed open violently!

The heavy alloy gate of the Training Hall was suddenly, extremely roughly shoved open from the outside!

A terrifying Blood Energy Pressure, heavy as a mountain and wild as fire, instantly swept through the entire hall!

Everyone's faces changed, their breathing momentarily halted.

They all turned to look.

Standing at the entrance was a burly young man, nearly two meters tall, his muscles like cast iron!

He wore a tight black tank top, his exposed arms bulging with veins, exuding explosive power. His eyes held a chilling ferocity.

At this moment.

Those eyes were fixed, dead set, on Jiang Hao in the crowd!

"Zhao Wuji?"

"Didn't he take leave to go into closed-door cultivation at his own martial arts hall?"

"Why is he here today? And judging by his demeanor... he's not here with good intentions!"

"He's definitely here for Jiang Hao. He must have found out about what happened yesterday!"

"It's over. Zhao Wuji is the third-ranked powerhouse in our class, his Blood Energy is 12.0!"

"I heard his temperament is extremely fiery, and he doesn't hold back when he fights. Jiang Hao is in for it now!"

The students in the Key Class instantly erupted in shock.

Even Lin Fan, not far away, saw Zhao Wuji's accusatory demeanor and a hint of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Wuji, that brute, couldn't hold back!

Perfect, I'll use his hand to teach this arrogant kid a good lesson!

Zhao Wuji ignored the awestruck gazes of everyone present.

He strode in with large steps.

With every step he took, the heavy sound of his footsteps struck everyone's hearts like drumbeats.

Zhao Wuji walked straight to Jiang Hao, looking down at him. His massive body cast a huge shadow, completely engulfing Jiang Hao!

"You're that Jiang Hao?"

Zhao Wuji's voice rumbled like muffled thunder, making people's eardrums buzz.

Jiang Hao frowned slightly, feeling the terrifying pressure that washed over him!

12.0 Qi and Blood!

And it was Qi and Blood that had been tempered a thousand times, extremely condensed and ferocious!

This Zhao Wuji gave him even more direct and purer pressure than Lin Fan!

Jiang Hao took a deep breath inwardly, raised his head without being subservient or arrogant, and met Zhao Wuji's fierce eyes directly.

"I am."

"Very good!"

Zhao Wuji's lips curled into a grin, revealing a row of bone-white teeth, his smile ferocious.

"I heard you're very arrogant?"

"Just entered the Key Class and got B-Class Treatment?"

"And you dared to use those despicable methods to attract the attention of classmate Su Qingning?"

Zhao Wuji's voice grew louder and louder, eventually almost a roar!

"Kid, look at yourself in the mirror!"

"Do you even deserve it?"

However, as soon as Zhao Wuji's words fell!

A cold figure suddenly appeared like a gust of cold wind, blocking in front of Jiang Hao.

"Zhao Wuji."

"What do you want?"

"Are you bullying the small with the big?"

Su Qingning's clear blue beautiful eyes coldly stared at the burly man in front of her.

"Whoosh--!"

The entire venue erupted in an uproar again!

Su Qingning!

Su Big School Flower was actually coming forward to protect Jiang Hao?

If yesterday was her actively striking up a conversation, then today was her openly defending him!

Could the rumors be true?

Had the aloof school flower really fallen for this Jiang Hao?

When Zhao Wuji saw Su Qingning standing in front of him for a new student, the rage in his eyes instantly burned to its peak!

"Classmate Su!"

"This guy, what right does he have to get your attention!"

Zhao Wuji's voice was filled with disbelief and towering jealousy!

In his heart!

Su Qingning was a sacred and inviolable goddess, someone only the strongest were worthy of standing beside!

And now, the goddess in his heart was actually stepping up for a weakling?

How could he stand for this!

Su Qingning frowned slightly, her voice still clear and cold.

"He is a new member of our Key Class."

"As the Class Monitor, I have the obligation to maintain the normal order of the class."

"Furthermore, between him and me, it's just normal classmate interaction, nothing as unsavory as you imagine."

"Don't make a scene here."

"Normal classmate interaction?"

Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment, then said angrily:

"I've never seen Classmate Su have such 'normal' interactions with other guys!"

After speaking, Zhao Wuji's gaze swept past Su Qingning, landing on Jiang Hao, and he said fiercely:

"Kid!"

"If you're a man, don't just hide behind a woman!"

"I, Zhao Wuji!"

"Hereby formally challenge you!"

"Do you dare to accept!"

After speaking, Zhao Wuji didn't give Jiang Hao a chance to reply.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Su Qingning, his eyes filled with undisguised ardor, admiration, and possessiveness!

"Classmate Su!"

"Watch this!"

"Only a strong person like me!"

"Is truly qualified to stand by your side!"
