Class Battle

"The school is preparing to establish an Elite Class this semester!"

"As the name suggests, it's where the school's most elite students will be selected and gathered into one class for the best training!"

"Students in the Elite Class will receive the greatest resource allocation from the school!"

"Including, but not limited to, rewards like Body Tempering Fluid, Star Coins, and Combat Skills!"

!!!

As these words were spoken, the pupils of the many students below couldn't help but widen slightly, their faces all showing excited expressions.

But soon, the excitement in the eyes of a considerable portion of them quickly faded.

These were mostly people with not very high Star Energy Aptitude and not very good family conditions.

Their initial excitement was merely a subconscious reaction to hearing the news. After calming down, they clearly knew that there was no way they would have a spot in the Elite Class.

But this didn't stop them from being interested in the Elite Class. Even if they couldn't join, they could still learn about it.

"Teacher, how can one join the Elite Class?"

Wang Jing suddenly asked.

"Good question!"

Wang Yuemei glanced at Wang Jing with appreciation.

Qin Chen: ...

To be honest, listening to this conversation, he inexplicably felt a bit awkward.

He certainly didn't see what was so good about this question.

Wang Yuemei cleared her throat and said:

"In one week, the school will hold a Ranking Battle for the First Year of Senior High!"

"All First Year students must participate!"

"The top thirty-two individuals will be able to join the Elite Class!"

"Of course, it's okay if you don't get into the Elite Class this time!"

"The Elite Class spots have a rotation opportunity every month. However, after the first time, the Ranking Battle format will no longer be used!"

"The top three students from the Regular Class each month will have a chance to challenge students in the Elite Class."

"The rules are simple: the winner stays, the loser goes down!"

"This is some information about the Elite Class. Does everyone understand?"

Although she said everyone understood, Wang Yuemei's gaze only swept over Wang Jing and a few others with the highest Spiritual Energy Aptitude.

Oh, wait!

There was also Qin Chen, who had the lowest Spiritual Energy Aptitude in the entire grade but had inexplicably advanced his Realm to Body Tempering Layer One.

Below, Qin Chen also fell into thought upon hearing Wang Yuemei's words, but he was more excited.

Elite Class?

This was something that had never happened at Muyang Third Middle School before.

It seemed that Muyang Third Middle School's poor performance in recent years had led the higher-ups to decide on a reform!

Regardless, this was a good thing for Qin Chen.

For someone as poor as him, what he lacked the most was resources.

Even if he had the Side Effect Reversal System, he still needed things for it to reverse side effects!

Otherwise, it would be like a clever cook unable to cook without rice.

After finishing her explanation about the Elite Class, Wang Yuemei spoke again:

"Alright, that's all I have to say!"

"Tomorrow is the Class Battle. Today, you are free to do as you please and adjust your condition!"

"For tomorrow's Class Battle, I hope you can give your teacher a surprise!"

As she said this, Wang Yuemei's gaze lingered on Qin Chen for a moment before she walked out of the classroom.

Qin Chen remained seated, leaning back in his chair with narrowed eyes. After a while, he got up and walked out of the classroom.

Then, he walked straight out of the school gate and headed in the direction of his home.

Since it was free time, there was no need to stay at school.

With time still on his hands, going back to cultivate more was the way to go!

He was determined to get the D-rank Combat Skill for first place!

Time quietly passed, and soon it was the next day.

Muyang Third Middle School's Training Ground was already crowded with people.

The crowd was buzzing, making for a lively scene!

There were ten arenas on the field, each with a number in front of it, corresponding to the sequence number of each class.

In front of Arena Number Seven, Wang Yuemei was constantly saying something to the students of the class.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"You all remember this, although this is an internal class battle, the combat venue is public!"

"Others can also see your combat process, so..."

"Perform well for me, do you understand?!"

"Understood!!"

Everyone responded loudly in unison, causing a smile to appear on Wang Yuemei's lips.

"The rules of the battle are very simple: two people will fight each other, the winner advances, and the first place will be decided in the end!"

"When I call out two names, you will go on stage to fight!"

"Remember! This is just a class battle, stop when you reach the limit! I don't want to see anyone seriously injured!"

Speaking of this, Wang Yuemei's gaze lingered on Qin Chen for a while.

She only found out yesterday that He Yi had his ribs broken more than a dozen times by Qin Chen.

Although the current medical level is very advanced, recovering from such an injury in a short period of time would still come at a considerable cost.

At least He Yi's family should not be willing to pay it.

Therefore, He Yi did not participate in today's class battle.

Wang Yuemei did not intend to pursue Qin Chen either, just as He Yi had said before.

Geniuses always have some privileges.

What's more, Wang Yuemei was shocked that Qin Chen's aura today was much stronger than yesterday.

Even though he hadn't broken through to Body Tempering Layer Two yet, he was very close.

This Realm was the highest in their Seventh Class.

Even Wang Jing was far behind him.

Wang Yuemei's interest in Qin Chen was growing stronger and stronger.

A person with a Spiritual Energy Aptitude of only 1 point was cultivating faster than a person with a Spiritual Energy Aptitude of 51 points.

Qin Chen definitely had a secret.

But Wang Yuemei had no intention of investigating. Many people in Great Xia had secrets.

Who didn't have a secret?

It wasn't that there hadn't been cases before of extremely low initial Spiritual Energy Aptitude, but who eventually became supreme experts.

As long as one wasn't a Waste Star User with zero Star Energy Aptitude, they had the possibility of reaching the pinnacle!

Wang Yuemei didn't continue thinking.

Instead, after surveying everyone, she spoke loudly:

"The first battle will now commence!"

"The combatants..."

"Wang Jing and Qin Chen!"

!!!

As soon as these words were spoken, all the students present turned their attention to the two of them.

Surprised murmurs rose all around.

"How come Wang Jing and Qin Chen are facing off in the first match? Isn't this a clash of titans?"

"Yeah! I thought they would meet later on~"

Wang Jing was the person with the highest Spiritual Energy Aptitude in Seventh Class, and also the one who broke through to Body Tempering Layer One the fastest, besides Qin Chen.

While breaking through the fastest didn't necessarily mean being the strongest, her strength was definitely not weak.

Were the two fastest to break through to Body Tempering Layer One meeting in the first round?

Let alone them, even Qin Chen himself was a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected to be the first up, and his opponent in the first match would be Wang Jing, the person with the highest Spiritual Energy Aptitude in their class.

However, it didn't make much difference. His goal was first place, and it didn't matter who he fought.

Qin Chen slowly walked towards the stage. As he stepped onto it, Wang Jing also arrived opposite him.

Wang Jing, who had come up to fight, was still wearing her black-rimmed glasses, which she hadn't taken off for ages.

Through the lenses of her glasses, Wang Jing gazed at Qin Chen opposite her with extreme seriousness. She didn't underestimate him just because his Spiritual Energy Aptitude was only one.

The scene of Qin Chen beating up He Yi yesterday was still vivid in her mind.

After a day had passed, her Body Tempering progress had only improved slightly from yesterday.

The aura emanating from Qin Chen was clearly stronger than hers. Just standing there gave her a great sense of pressure.

But Wang Jing wouldn't back down because of this.

A martial artist!

Must charge forward without hesitation!!

With this thought, Wang Jing let out a soft cry, her figure darting out swiftly, launching the first attack towards Qin Chen...
