Jiang Hao looked at Su Qingning, who was blocking him, and then at Zhao Wuji opposite, who was like a furious Vajra.

He sighed softly in his heart.

Jiang Hao had originally wanted to cultivate peacefully, steadily improve his strength, and then get into a good Martial Arts University during the Martial Arts Exam!

He absolutely did not want to get involved in the grievances and entanglements between these top geniuses, or to be the Scapegoat.

But alas.

The tree may prefer to be still, but the wind will not cease.

Trouble always found its way to him.

As for his relationship with this Su Big School Flower?

It was not even a matter of "eight characters not yet a stroke"!

It was purely an unprovoked disaster!

However.

Jiang Hao raised his head, and in his eyes, as calm as a Deep Pool, a sharpness like a Blade Edge gradually condensed.

He didn't want trouble!

But that didn't mean he was afraid of it!

Someone had already pointed at his nose and insulted him to his face.

If he acted like a Coward and let the other party humiliate him.

Not only would he look down on himself.

It would also leave his Martial Dao Heart Tarnished!

Not for Su Qingning.

But for himself!

Did they really think that because he was a B-Class New Student with no background, just promoted from the Ordinary Class, he could be easily manipulated and bullied?

Jiang Hao took a deep breath inwardly, adjusting his breathing rhythm.

He stepped out two or three paces!

Standing in front of Su Qingning!

Su Qingning looked at Jiang Hao, who stood before her and stared directly at Zhao Wuji, and was stunned!

Su Qingning hadn't expected that Jiang Hao would actually take the initiative to step forward and face the storm.

Jiang Hao ignored Su Qingning's surprise.

He faced Zhao Wuji, his spine ramrod straight, like an unyielding, peerless spear piercing the Firmament!

"Zhao Wuji, is that right."

Jiang Hao's voice was calm and clear, without the slightest tremor. It echoed in the deathly still Training Hall, reaching everyone's ears.

"I accept your challenge."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place exploded!

It was like a basin of cold water being thrown into a boiling oil pot!

Everyone stared at Jiang Hao with the eyes of a madman!

He accepted?

He actually dared to accept?!

That was Zhao Wuji!

The third-ranked Ruthless Person in the Key Class!

A Physical Body Monster with Qi and Blood reaching 12.0!

However.

Jiang Hao's words weren't finished. He calmly gazed at Zhao Wuji and continued:

"But you also know the gap between us."

"You have 12.0 Qi and Blood, have been in the Key Class for two years with countless resources."

"I only have 9.5 and just entered the Key Class today. If we fight now, even if you, Zhao Wuji, win, it probably won't be much of an honor to spread the word, right?"

Jiang Hao's words hit the nail on the head.

"So, I have two conditions, you can choose one."

"First, give me one month."

"After one month, I will fight you fairly."

"Second."

"If you want to fight now, you can."

"But suppress your Blood Qi Intensity to the same level as mine, 9.5!"

"How about these two conditions?"

Jiang Hao not only accepted the challenge but also turned the tables, proposing his own rules in front of everyone!

The entire crowd went wild upon hearing this!

Discussions erupted like a tidal wave!

"He's crazy, Jiang Hao is absolutely crazy!"

"One month?"

"What does he think he can do in one month? Catch up to Zhao Wuji's huge 2.5 Blood Qi gap?!"

"And suppressing Blood Qi? That's even more ridiculous!"

"Senior Zhao Wuji has a Blood Qi of 12.0, and he follows the Extreme Physical Body Flow!"

"His physical body, bones, and Meridians have long been tempered day and night by high-intensity Blood Qi, making them as hard as iron!"

"Even if he suppresses his total Blood Qi to 9.5, his physical body's defense, recovery, and explosive power will still be more than ten times that of ordinary 9.5 martial artists!"

"Not to mention, Senior Zhao Wuji has also mastered a Great Success Martial Skill known for its ferocity, Shattering Rock Fist!"

"If he unleashes his power, even a strong practitioner with 13.0 Blood Qi would have to avoid his sharp edge!"

"Jiang Hao is walking to his own death. No matter which condition he chooses, he's bound to lose!"

No one was optimistic about Jiang Hao.

In their eyes, Jiang Hao was completely blinded by ambition and digging his own grave!

Zhao Wuji was stunned when he first heard Jiang Hao's conditions, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Then, he laughed!

His laughter shook the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling of the hall!

"Hahahaha!"

"Good!"

"You've got some guts!"

Zhao Wuji's laughter stopped abruptly. He lowered his head, looking down at Jiang Hao with disdain, his lips curled into a mocking smile.

"One month? I don't have the patience to wait for a weakling like you to slowly grow before crushing you!"

"I choose the second one!"

"Suppressing Qi and Blood!"

Zhao Wuji was incredibly confident. He extended a thick finger and waved it dismissively in front of Jiang Hao.

"To deal with trash like you, just suppressing Qi and Blood isn't enough to show off my abilities, Zhao Wuji!"

"I'll add another condition!"

"In tomorrow's battle, I, Zhao Wuji, will not use any Martial Skills!"

"I will only use the most basic fist and foot techniques!"

"I will crush you with the same level of Qi and Blood and Physical Body!"

"If I lose, you are forbidden to ever approach Classmate Su again!"

After speaking.

Zhao Wuji glanced at Su Qingning, his eyes filled with the fervor of proving himself. He then turned and strode away!

He needed to go back and prepare.

Although he spoke casually, he wasn't truly foolish.

Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.

He wanted to adjust his state and, tomorrow, in front of his goddess, crush this ignorant brat into dregs in the most perfect manner!

Jiang Hao watched Zhao Wuji's Iron Tower-like retreating back, his eyes becoming incredibly deep.

"Not using Martial Skills..."

"Heh, you brought this upon yourself."

Jiang Hao chuckled inwardly!

If Zhao Wuji had suppressed his Qi and Blood and gone all out, combined with that perfected powerful Martial Skill, Shattering Rock Fist, he might have been in a very passive situation right now!

But he crippled himself, promising not to use Martial Skills?

Then the situation might not be so certain!

Most importantly!

Jiang Hao's Tidal Wave was powerful and was on the verge of breaking through!

Watching Zhao Wuji leave, Jiang Hao ignored the schadenfreude or expectant gazes of the surrounding people. He also didn't say much to Su Qingning beside him.

He merely nodded slightly at Su Qingning.

Then, he turned directly, carrying his schoolbag, and left the Key Class teaching building.

Go home!

Prepare for battle!

Back at home.

Jiang Hao showed no signs of slacking.

After finishing his meal!

In the courtyard.

Jiang Hao held the familiar "Mop Spear," which he had already polished to a smooth sheen.

Under the bright moonlight.

His figure was stretched long and firm.

He practiced the Tidal Wave Spear Technique again and again, tirelessly.

With every thrust, the air let out a dull boom, shaking the fallen leaves around!

Jiang Hao was searching for that feeling, the sensation of power accumulating within him, surging like sea waves, with the back wave pushing the front wave!

"The First Wave is the foundation, power rising from the ground, flowing through the entire body, converging at a single point."

"The Second Wave is the accumulation!"

"It's when the old force is not yet exhausted, and the new force is already born!"

"Two forces, instantly merging in the hand, then erupting with exponential power!"

The profound meaning of the Tidal Wave Spear Technique echoed in Jiang Hao's mind. His muscles trembled, and his meridians bulged, as if a rushing river was scouring his body.

Sweat had already soaked through his clothes and dripped from his hair.

But he did not stop.

Instead, his eyes grew brighter!

"Again!"

"Break for me!"

He didn't know how many times he had practiced.

It was deep in the night, when the moon was high in the sky!

Suddenly, Jiang Hao had an epiphany. As he thrust out his first spear, at the moment when the old force was about to reach its peak and was about to dissipate, he suddenly exerted force again with his waist and abdomen!

A more majestic Blood Energy, like an angry dragon, surged into his arm and perfectly fused with the old force!

"Boom!"

At this moment!

As Jiang Hao thrust his wooden staff this time, it actually emitted two terrifying explosions that were almost completely superimposed!

A terrifying penetrating power, far exceeding the previous one, erupted from the blunt, rounded tip of the staff!

The air in front of him seemed to be pierced by this thrust, creating a visible, semi-transparent indentation!

The airwaves rolled, blowing the flowers and plants in the courtyard askew!

It worked!

Jiang Hao retracted his staff and stood, his eyes bursting with unprecedented brilliance!

The pleasant Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence prompt sounded in his mind at the right time!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host!]

[Your "Tidal Wave Spear Technique" Proficiency has been achieved!]

[Current Progress: Tidal Wave Spear Technique · Minor Accomplishment (1/100)!]

[You have successfully mastered: Second Layered Strength!]

Listening to the voice in his mind, Jiang Hao tightly gripped the wooden staff in his hand, recalling the feeling of the force just now. That dual force, capable of piercing everything, made the corners of his mouth slowly curl into an arc.

"Second Wave!"

"With the superposition, my attack power can instantly erupt with a power comparable to eleven Blood Qi Intensity!"

"Zhao Wuji."

"Tomorrow."

"I will give you a big surprise!"
