What Martial Skill Is This

Su Family Villa.

Su Qingning sat at her desk, the light screen in front of her displaying the electronic contact list for Eighth Martial High's Key Class.

This was a privilege she held as class monitor.

Her finger hovered over the name "Jiang Hao" for a long time before she clicked.

Even for her, usually cool and decisive, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of apprehension. After all, actively adding a male classmate's contact information in the middle of the night...

This was the first time she had ever done something like this.

It felt... a little presumptuous!

And a little embarrassing.

"Hoo..."

Su Qingning let out a soft breath.

She thought of Zhao Wuji's aggressive demeanor that afternoon, and the undeserved trouble Jiang Hao had suffered because of her.

"This whole thing started because of me."

"I have to take responsibility."

Su Qingning's eyes regained their firmness.

She planned to personally intervene tomorrow to help Jiang Hao out of this situation.

The best way was for her to forcefully step in and make Zhao Wuji back down!

With that thought, she pressed the [Add Friend] button.

The waiting process!

Every second felt exceptionally long.

"Beep."

A soft sound suddenly rang out.

The request was approved!

Su Qingning instinctively retracted her jade finger from the light screen. She looked at the blank chat window and hesitated for a moment.

Finally, she typed a few words.

"Good evening."

After thinking about it, she felt it was too abrupt, so she added a salutation.

"Good evening, classmate Jiang Hao."

Jiang Hao looked at the message that popped up on his screen, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Good evening, classmate Su."

After Jiang Hao quickly replied, he didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"It's so late, is there something important, classmate Su, that you're adding me for?"

Su Qingning looked at the message and took a deep breath, no longer hesitating.

"About what happened today."

"I'm very sorry."

"Because of my actions, I've caused you unnecessary trouble."

Looking at the sincere apology, Jiang Hao's impression of the aloof school beauty improved a bit.

Have to say!

Looks matter in every world!

"It's nothing."

"Classmate Su doesn't need to worry about it."

"No."

Su Qingning replied very seriously.

"I know Zhao Wuji very well."

"He has an extremely hot temper and doesn't know how to hold back when he strikes."

"And his physical body is extremely strong; even if he suppresses his qi and blood, he's still very dangerous."

"You've just entered the Key Class, there's no need to clash head-on with him."

"Don't be impulsive tomorrow."

"I will step in to mediate and get him to cancel this challenge."

Jiang Hao smiled when he saw this.

He knew Su Qingning meant well.

"I appreciate your kind intentions, Classmate Su."

"But it's not necessary."

Jiang Hao's reply was equally firm.

"I'm not just accepting your challenge because of you."

"It's more about putting pressure on myself."

"The path of Martial Arts is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall back."

"Without pressure, where does motivation come from?"

"As for winning or losing, that's my own business, unrelated to you, Classmate Su."

Su Qingning stared at the string of replies on the screen, completely stunned. Her beautiful eyes, usually as calm as a deep pool, now gradually lit up, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

She hadn't expected Jiang Hao to give such an answer.

Neither servile nor overbearing.

Furthermore, he possessed a Martial Arts heart that feared no strong enemy and dared to challenge himself!

"As expected..."

The corners of Su Qingning's lips curved into an almost imperceptible, faint smile.

"You're really different from everyone else."

Su Qingning mused for a moment. Although Jiang Hao had refused her help, it didn't mean she could wash her hands of the matter with a clear conscience.

After all, the incident had originated because of her.

"Since you insist."

"Then I will respect your decision."

Su Qingning replied.

"However, this matter arose because of me."

"Regardless of the outcome tomorrow."

"I will offer you some compensation afterward."

Jiang Hao saw this message and felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.

"Really, no need."

"It's settled then."

Su Qingning replied instantly with those six words, and her avatar immediately turned gray.

She had gone offline.

Jiang Hao: "..."

Jiang Hao looked at the undeniable words "It's settled then" on his terminal.

He shook his head helplessly.

"Alright."

"I can't refuse such kindness."

This School Beauty Su, although she appears aloof and has a rather domineering personality, must be a good person!

Su Qingning doesn't know it yet!

She's already been given a "friend zone" card by Jiang Hao!

Ending the chat!

Jiang Hao put down his terminal and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. His gaze once again became sharp.

"I really didn't accept the challenge because of this School Beauty Su."

"I just want to become stronger."

The next day.

The morning sun had just bathed the Eighth Martial High training grounds!

But at this moment, the geniuses from the Key Classes of the first, second, and third years who possessed Virtual Immersion Devices had already gathered at the Eighth Martial High dueling arena.

Everyone wanted to witness it firsthand.

This match between the strongest newcomer in the B-class of the Senior Year Key Class versus the third-ranked formidable fighter in the Key Class!

In the center of the virtual dueling arena.

Zhao Wuji had already been waiting for a long time.

He wore a loose training outfit, arms crossed, standing there like an iron tower.

Jiang Hao also joined the dueling arena.

Seeing Jiang Hao join, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes.

"Kid."

"You actually dare to show up!"

Jiang Hao's expression was calm, ten meters away from Zhao Wuji.

"Enough with the nonsense."

"Let's begin."

"Fine!"

Zhao Wuji laughed in anger!

"So arrogant!"

"I hope afterwards, your strength can be as tough as your mouth!"

The surroundings!

Seeing Jiang Hao arrive, the students from the first, second, and third Key Classes stirred slightly!

"What's Jiang Hao's background? He actually dares to accept Zhao Wuji's challenge!"

"No need to guess, Jiang Hao will definitely get crushed!"

"He joined the Key Class in the second to last batch. Even with B-Class Treatment from the start, he probably can't make any waves. He must have gotten lucky!"

"Brother Zhao, beat this kid up and show Su, the campus belle, that this kid isn't worthy of her attention at all!"

"..."

Voices spread out!

Almost everyone was one-sidedly rooting for Zhao Wuji, and almost everyone believed Jiang Hao was doomed to lose!

First Year Key Class!

Jiang Keke watched Jiang Hao in the arena nervously. Hearing the one-sided discussions around her that didn't favor her brother, she couldn't help but snort softly, "My brother never does things he isn't sure about. Plus, his strength advanced yesterday. It's not certain who will crush whom yet."

Beside Jiang Keke was a girl with twin low ponytails, a cute and gentle demeanor.

She was Su Anan!

Su Anan looked at Jiang Hao in the arena and then heard Jiang Keke's words. Her eyes curved into cute crescent moons as she smiled, "Hehe, Keke, you're really worried about your brother. But Zhao Wuji is also very strong. You trust your brother so much."

"Who's worried about him?"

Jiang Keke said stubbornly, "I just think, since he's already talked big, it would be too embarrassing to lose right away."
