Virtual Arena.

The audience stands were already buzzing with noise.

Nearly all the geniuses from the Key Classes across three grades were present!

As the crowd chattered and waited gleefully for the protagonist to appear—

"Look! Su School Flower is here too!"

A shout silenced the entire arena for half a second.

Su Qingning appeared at the entrance of the audience stands, clad in a white martial arts uniform, her long snow-white hair flowing behind her.

She was still as cold and aloof as ever, as if untouched by the mortal world.

"Sis, over here!"

Su Anan had already dragged Jiang Keke to secure front-row seats and was now waving excitedly.

Su Qingning's arrival instantly made Jiang Keke tense up. Her gaze unconsciously carried a hint of curiosity as she looked at the school's legendary figure.

Jiang Keke couldn't quite understand.

Why would this lofty Su Big School Flower take an interest in... well, pay attention to her own brother?

Su Qingning noticed Jiang Keke's stare. She knew Jiang Keke was Jiang Hao's younger sister, and also knew about Jiang Keke's relationship with Su Anan!

So Su Qingning walked over and sat down in the seat beside Jiang Keke and Su Anan.

After sitting down!

Su Qingning's gaze fell on Jiang Keke's slightly nervous little face. She spoke first, her voice cool:

"Classmate Jiang Keke?"

"I didn't get it wrong, did I?"

Jiang Keke nodded repeatedly upon hearing this!

Su Qingning gave a slight nod and continued:

"I'm sorry about yesterday. It caused trouble for Classmate Jiang Hao."

"Ah?"

Jiang Keke was flattered and quickly waved her hands.

"No, Senior Su, it's not your fault!"

"It was me who said too much!"

Su Qingning shook her head slightly, cutting her off.

"I originally planned to step in and mediate today."

Su Qingning's gaze shifted to Jiang Hao, who stood calmly in the center of the arena, and said:

"But."

"Classmate Jiang Hao is very confident."

"He refused my mediation."

"So I'm also planning to see what methods he has to deal with this."

A trace of barely noticeable curiosity crept into Su Qingning's tone.

After speaking, Su Qingning turned to look at Jiang Keke. Her beautiful blue eyes seemed able to see through people's hearts.

"You're his sister."

"Do you know what methods your brother has to handle this?"

"I..."

Jiang Keke was caught off guard by the question.

Methods?

Jiang Keke shook her head decisively.

"I don't know either!"

Su Qingning nodded at this and didn't ask further, turning her gaze back to Jiang Hao in the arena.

Her cool voice slowly rose again, as if giving Jiang Keke a promise.

"Don't worry. If Classmate Jiang Hao runs into any trouble because of this incident later, I'll take care of it for him!"

In the center of the arena.

Jiang Hao and Zhao Wuji stood ten meters apart, facing each other from a distance.

Everyone's attention was fixed on the two of them.

Zhao Wuji's body exuded an oppressive presence. He cracked his wrists, producing a series of "crack" sounds from his bones.

Zhao Wuji grinned, revealing his stark white teeth.

"Kid, you ready?"

Zhao Wuji said as he opened the virtual system's adjustment panel.

"As agreed yesterday."

"I'll suppress my Blood Qi Intensity to 9.5."

Just as Zhao Wuji was about to confirm—

"Hold on."

Jiang Hao's voice suddenly rang out.

Zhao Wuji's movements paused, his brow instantly furrowing, impatience spreading across his face.

"What now?"

"Kid, you scared?"

"Thinking of backing out now? Isn't it a little too late?"

The surrounding audience burst into jeers.

"I told you, he wouldn't dare!"

"Chickening out at the last second? How embarrassing!"

Jiang Hao ignored all the noise. He simply looked calmly at Zhao Wuji and said evenly:

"You've got it wrong."

"9.5 was my Blood Qi Intensity yesterday."

Zhao Wuji froze.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Hao spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it carried clearly across the entire Duel Arena!

"Right now."

"My latest Blood Qi Intensity is 9.99."

"If you're going to suppress yourself, adjust it to 9.99."

"Only then is it fair."

"..."

"..."

As Jiang Hao's words fell.

The clamor of the entire Duel Arena seemed to be severed by an invisible hand in that instant!

Deathly Stillness!

You could hear a pin drop!

Every single one of the hundreds of Key Class geniuses present was frozen in place!

Their eyes were wide!

As if they had heard some absurd fantasy!

Especially the Senior Year Key Class geniuses!

"What?"

"9.99?"

"Did I fucking hear that right?"

"Yesterday during his assessment, he was only 9.5!"

"It's only been one night? In one night his Blood Qi surged by 0.49?"

"That's impossible!"

"Even if he chugged High-grade Nutrient Solution nonstop for twenty-four hours, there's no way he could achieve that speed!"

"Could it be a breakthrough in Stance Training?"

In the Audience Stand.

"Huh?"

Jiang Keke was completely stunned. Her small mouth formed an adorable 'O' as she stared blankly at her brother in the arena.

What happened last night?

Did Ge break through in Stance Training again?

Wasn't that... Stance Training Eighth Turn?

Su Qingning, who had maintained her cool and aloof demeanor, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly at these words!

Such a surge in Blood Qi Intensity could only mean one thing!

A breakthrough in Stance Training!

Based on the gathered intel on Jiang Hao!

A month ago, Jiang Hao had just broken through to the sixth turn. Now, a month later, with this pace, his Stance Training had likely reached the eighth turn!

Two consecutive turn breakthroughs in Stance Training within a month!

Such talent!

It was not inferior to her own!

With that thought, a ripple stirred for the first time in Su Qingning's ocean-blue beautiful eyes!

In the arena.

Zhao Wuji's smile froze completely on his face!

His eyes bulged wide!

"9.99?"

"You messing with me?"

Zhao Wuji's first reaction was disbelief!

Jiang Hao ignored Zhao Wuji's fury and simply looked at the electronic referee floating in midair, representing the system's rules.

"Show my real-time data."

"Beep--"

[Contestant: Jiang Hao (Eighth Martial High).]

[Real-time Blood Qi Intensity: 9.99.]

A massive Information Panel floated above the Duel Arena.

"..."

"..."

"Whoa--!"

The entire venue erupted once more!

Everyone stared at the Information Panel, dumbfounded.

"It's actually real!"

"Is this guy a Pervert!"

"A 0.5 Blood Qi Intensity increase overnight means at least an eighth or ninth turn Stance Breakthrough... tsk, this guy getting B-Class Treatment might actually have some skill."

Staring at Jiang Hao's Information Panel above, Zhao Wuji's face instantly flushed the color of pig liver!

He felt like a Jumping Clown!

Yesterday, he was brimming with confidence, looking down on a New Student with 9.5 Blood Qi using his 12.0!

And today!

The guy had turned around and become 9.99!

Though this number was still a Weakling in his eyes.

But at this rate!

Wouldn't he catch up soon?

"So what if it's 9.99!"

Zhao Wuji steadied himself and snorted coldly.

"I'm still winning today!"

Zhao Wuji opened his adjustment panel.

The next moment!

A prompt floated up!

[Contestant: Zhao Wuji!]

[Blood Qi Intensity adjusted to: 9.99.]

"System!"

"I want a weapon: Nunchaku!"

"Wum!"

A pair of heavy alloy nunchaku took shape in Zhao Wuji's hands!

Seeing this, Jiang Hao's gaze sharpened as he said:

"Alloy Spear."

With the spear in hand, Jiang Hao's entire aura instantly became restrained and profound.

The moment the three-second countdown for the duel ended and it began!

Zhao Wuji struck without hesitation, charging toward Jiang Hao like a tiger unleashed from its cage!

Facing Zhao Wuji's violent assault.

Jiang Hao's spear moved!

Perfected Spearmanship!

An inch longer!

An inch stronger!

The Alloy Spear in Jiang Hao's hand seemed to transform into an awakened Venom Dragon, the spear tip carrying a faint, nascent Spear Intent that was about to be born but had yet to fully take shape!

"Clang!"

The moment Zhao Wuji charged into attack range.

His wildly swinging nunchaku hadn't even had time to strike down before Jiang Hao's elusive spear tip precisely and unerringly struck the middle link of the nunchaku chain!

"What?!"

Zhao Wuji only felt a strange vibrating force transmit through!

His ferocious assault came to an abrupt halt!

A wave of numbness spread through his entire arm!

What a bizarre spear!

"Again!"

Zhao Wuji roared, spinning his nunchaku with fierce momentum, like two black cyclones guarding his body!

He needed to close the distance!

But!

How could Jiang Hao's Perfected Spearmanship be so easily breached?

"Thrust!"

"Sweep!"

"Wrap!"

"Smash!"

Jiang Hao's spear technique had returned to its essence; the spear in his hand transformed into an impenetrable Silver Barrier, and Zhao Wuji's violent nunchaku simply couldn't break through it!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out without end!

All the geniuses of the Key Class in the audience were dumbfounded!

"Am I seeing things?"

"Zhao Wuji is being suppressed?"

"His nunchaku can't even touch Jiang Hao!"

"An inch longer, an inch stronger—Jiang Hao's spearmanship is too perfect; Senior Zhao can't get close!"

"This Jiang Hao really keeps his skills hidden!"

A chill ran through everyone's hearts!

Zhao Wuji himself couldn't believe it!

He was going crazy!

He, a genius ranked third in the Key Class!

A berserker walking the path of extreme Physical Body!

Was actually being beaten down by a newly arrived New Student with a broken spear?

What the hell!

A monumental disgrace!

In the Audience Stand.

Jiang Keke watched the battle in the arena, completely stunned.

She stared blankly at her Ge, whose spear moved like a dragon, toying with Zhao Wuji at his whim.

"Is this still my Ge?"

"What the meow?"

"Ge hasn't been possessed by some Old Monster, has he?"
