Grandmaster expert? Far from it.

"What Martial Skill was that?!"

Zhao Wuji asked Jiang Hao in a low voice.

In the arena.

Jiang Hao slowly retracted his spear.

The spear dissipated, turning into specks of data stream. He calmly glanced at Zhao Wuji, who was already on the verge of exploding in rage.

"I let you win."

Jiang Hao smiled slightly, not answering his question. Instead, he turned to look at the electronic referee in mid-air.

"Exit Duel Arena."

Jiang Hao's figure instantly vanished from the center of the arena, leaving Zhao Wuji alone in his spot, trembling all over like an erupting volcano!

"He just left like that?!"

"He beat Zhao Wuji, said 'I let you win,' and just left!"

"Holy crap, that was so damn cocky. But you know what, it was kinda cool!"

"He's showing off! I give it full marks!"

"The key is, he has the strength to back it up! Crushing Zhao Wuji in a fight at the same level, is he even human!"

"This Jiang Hao... where did he come from!"

In the Audience Stand.

Zhang Yuan from Class 3-1, and Li Mo from Class 3, both of whom entered the Key Class with Jiang Hao.

At this moment, they were tightly gripping the railing in front of them!

Their faces were filled with shock!

"Gulp."

Zhang Yuan swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

"Li Mo!"

"Are we really in the same batch as Classmate Jiang Hao?"

Li Mo's mind had long gone blank.

He stared blankly at the empty Duel Arena, his eyes also full of shock!

The Key Class they had entered together.

The three of them had D-Class Treatment.

Jiang Hao had B-Class Treatment.

Li Mo had originally thought this was just a difference in resources.

He thought Jiang Hao was just a bit more talented, had a bit more Qi and Blood, and was a bit luckier.

He and Zhang Yuan had even harbored jealousy!

But now!

What did they see?

Before their eyes, Jiang Hao had taken down the third-ranked Iron Tower of the Key Class, that Monster Zhao Wuji with 12.0 Qi and Blood!

In a battle of the same level, he had beaten him so badly that he couldn't even fight back!

He finished him with the final blow!

Too monstrous!

They had only just joined the Key Class!

"His Assessment Attack Power is 10.5,"

Zhang Yuan muttered to himself.

"But that final blow he just delivered..."

"It's definitely not just 10.5!"

"That's at least 11.0, or even higher!"

Li Mo nodded and sighed, saying:

"It seems we are not people from the same world as him!"

At this moment.

The ambition that had risen in their hearts to catch up to Jiang Hao.

Was completely shattered by this battle of Jiang Hao's!

Not far from them.

"Impossible!"

Lin Qiu's pupils contracted to pinpricks. His whole body was trembling, unsure if it was from anger or fear.

"It must be fake!"

"Zhao Wuji, that trash, how could he lose!"

"Didn't he say he could crush him without using Martial Skills!"

"Damn it!"

Lin Qiu roared madly in his heart!

He had originally thought today would be the day Jiang Hao suffered humiliation and was crippled in public!

Even Jiang Hao lying on the ground, with Zhao Wuji stepping on his face!

But the result?

Jiang Hao won!

And he won so thoroughly!

He used Zhao Wuji's defeat as his most perfect stepping stone!

After this battle.

Jiang Hao would definitely solidify his position in the Senior Year Key Class!

He might even become famous throughout the entire school!

Beside Lin Qiu.

Lin Fan's gentle and refined mask had long since vanished. His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. In his deep eyes, there was no longer any trace of the previous disdain and amusement.

Instead, there was solemnity and apprehension!

An extremely intense sense of crisis!

Appeared in Lin Fan's heart!

Lin Fan replayed Jiang Hao's final blow in his mind, over and over again.

That profound footwork!

That bizarre Martial Skill that could instantly stack power!

This kind of explosive power made him unable to underestimate it!

"This is interesting!"

Lin Fan coldly thought to himself!

He finally understood why his foolish younger brother had suffered at Jiang Hao's hands!

This guy!

Wasn't some "B-Class genius" who relied on luck!

He actually had some real skill!

"One Month: Blood Qi 8.1 to 9.99."

"Basic Spear Technique: Perfection."

"And he's hiding a high-burst Martial Skill..."

A cold light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes!

"Since I've already offended him anyway!"

"Then next, before he has a chance to grow!"

"I must find a way to completely crush him!"

Jiang Hao himself exited the Virtual Immersion System.

Ignoring the shocked gazes from the Senior Students in the training hall.

Jiang Hao walked out of the teaching building.

Today.

Was the third day since he joined the Key Class.

B-Class Rookie Jiang Hao, in a battle against his peers, defeated the Key Class's third-ranked Zhao Wuji!

This news spread like wildfire!

"Grassroots War God!"

"Strongest B-Class!"

"Invincible at the Same Level!"

"Eighth Martial High's newly promoted Fourth Giant!"

All sorts of exaggerated titles were flooding the school's internal forum!

Jiang Hao had become famous this time, completely and utterly!

After school.

Jiang Hao walked on the road home, feeling the warm sunset, his mood incredibly relaxed.

Zhao Wuji!

Before, that was a target he couldn't reach!

But now he had defeated him himself!

"Ge!"

A clear shout came from behind.

Jiang Hao turned his head.

He saw Jiang Keke running over with "deng deng deng," her expression a little excited and shocked.

"Oh? Keke."

Jiang Hao was a little surprised.

"Are you coming home with me today?"

"En!"

Jiang Keke ran to Jiang Hao's side and stopped.

It was rare for the brother and sister to walk home together side by side.

But the atmosphere today was a bit strange.

Jiang Hao walked in front.

Jiang Keke followed half a step behind, silent.

But Jiang Hao could clearly feel a gaze coming from his side.

Jiang Keke would secretly look Jiang Hao up and down, and then stare at the back of his head with a strange look, as if she were looking at some alien creature.

Jiang Hao walked a few steps and stopped.

Jiang Keke couldn't stop in time and ran headfirst into his back.

"Ouch!"

"Ge, why did you suddenly stop!"

Jiang Keke protested, covering her nose.

Jiang Hao turned around, looking at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"I was about to ask you what you were doing."

"From the moment we left the school gate, you've walked three hundred meters."

"You've peeked at me thirteen times."

"You've sized me up eight times, from head to toe."

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you recognize your own brother?"

"I did not!"

Jiang Keke's face instantly turned bright red!

She was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, stomping her foot fiercely!

"I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Jiang Keke huffed, sidestepped Jiang Hao, and quickened her pace, charging forward with her head down!

Seeing this, Jiang Hao quickly strode to catch up.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong."

"What's really going on?"

"Tell me about it."

Jiang Keke, with him catching up, walked a few more steps with her head down.

Finally, she stopped.

Jiang Keke turned her head, her bright, large eyes looking at Jiang Hao with immense complexity.

"Ge!"

Jiang Keke said softly.

"Your changes are truly too great."

"I always thought you were joking before."

"When you said you'd surpass me, I really thought you were just joking..."

"But!"

Jiang Hao looked at her serious expression, and the smile on his face grew even more intense!

"But what?"

Jiang Keke's face turned red again.

"But, Ge, you're really not joking!"

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Hao couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. He reached out and ruffled Jiang Keke's beautiful hair.

"Ah! You're messing up my hair again!"

Jiang Keke stomped her feet in anger, swatting at Jiang Hao's "devil claws."

"Haha!"

Jiang Hao laughed and withdrew his hand, teasing:

"What's wrong?"

"Seeing your older brother become stronger."

"Aren't you happy about it?"

"I am not!"

Jiang Keke pouted, her voice much softer.

Jiang Hao looked at her cute appearance, his heart filled with warmth. He raised his head and looked at the distant sunset.

"Don't worry, Keke."

"From now on, your brother can protect you."

"Protect you, and Dad, and Mom."

"Aren't you happy!"

Jiang Keke was stunned upon hearing this. She looked at Jiang Hao's profile, which was rimmed with gold by the sunset.

That confidence!

That steadiness.

Made Jiang Keke feel an unprecedented sense of security.

Her face was flushed red.

Jiang Keke lowered her head, then proudly pouted her small lips.

"Hmph!"

"You're still far from it!"

"You've only just reached 10.0 Blood Qi Intensity!"

"If you truly want to make things good for the family, if you truly want to protect us!"

"At the very least!"

"You have to become a Grandmaster-level expert!"
