Only Practice Makes Perfect!

Qin Chen stood his ground, merely glancing at the aggressive Wang Jing.

Then, he took a step forward, arriving after her but striking first.

His fist instantly appeared in Wang Jing's pupils.

Wang Jing's expression changed instantly. Forgetting her attack, she immediately crossed her arms in front of her.

Bang--

A dull thud echoed. Immense power erupted from Qin Chen's fist, blasting her back five to six steps.

Stopping herself, Wang Jing abruptly looked up, her eyes filled with shock.

Although she had a premonition that Qin Chen's strength was not simple before their clash, she truly hadn't expected the gap in their strength to be so vast.

His ordinary punch alone was already difficult for her to withstand.

Her lowered arms trembled slightly.

But Wang Jing did not give up because of this.

Strength wasn't the sole determinant of victory. She was confident that Qin Chen was definitely not as fast as her.

As long as that was the case, she still had a chance to turn the tables!

"Cloud Smoke Steps!"

Wang Jing shouted softly and took a step. Her footwork was as light as nothing, her speed significantly faster than before.

"Oh?"

"A D-rank Footwork Combat Skill?"

Qin Chen raised an eyebrow.

Wang Jing's figure rapidly approached, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Qin Chen.

Qin Chen threw a punch without hesitation.

Wang Jing's footwork flickered, and she easily dodged Qin Chen's attack.

Seeing this, a smile tugged at the corner of Wang Jing's lips.

However, before her smile could fully bloom, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.

A sensation of weightlessness washed over her.

She saw the Azure Sky!

Wang Jing's body slammed heavily onto the ground, a sharp pain erupting from her abdomen, causing fine beads of cold sweat to break out on her forehead.

Only then did she realize she was lying on the ground without knowing when she had fallen.

The clear pain in her abdomen told her what had just happened.

Wang Jing looked up at Qin Chen in disbelief. He still had that same calm and composed demeanor as before.

But the pressure he exerted on Wang Jing had only increased!

Wang Jing didn't understand!

Why was there such a huge difference between them, both being at Body Tempering Layer One?

"Your punch... why is it so fast?"

"Only Practice Makes Perfect!"

Wang Jing: ...

Wang Jing slowly got up from the ground, her gaze shifting to Wang Yuemei beside her, and she said:

"I concede!"

After giving Qin Chen a deep look, she turned and walked towards the crowd below the stage.

There was no longer any point in continuing the fight.

Qin Chen's raw strength was clearly a level above hers.

If her Cloud Smoke Steps had reached Minor Completion, she might have considered fighting a bit longer, but with her Cloud Smoke Steps only at Entry Level, they clearly didn't possess the ability to help her defeat Qin Chen.

The many students below stared at the scene in stunned silence.

What?

It was over just like that?

Did it have to end so quickly?

They had originally expected a fierce battle between Wang Jing and Qin Chen, but instead, it turned out to be a one-sided affair.

This left everyone completely bewildered.

Since when was a Spiritual Energy Aptitude of just one point so powerful?

Could it be...

That a Spiritual Energy Aptitude of one point was the current meta?

Not long after, Qin Chen also walked down from the stage. When the crowd saw him, they subconsciously created some space.

Their gazes towards him carried a hint of awe!

At this moment, the weak Qin Chen of the past had completely disappeared, replaced by the Strongest of Seventh Class!

No one had the slightest doubt about this.

Although he had only fought one match, the outcome needed no further explanation.

The strongest among the other students were only on par with Wang Jing.

Seeing Wang Jing utterly defeated, they knew they wouldn't fare any better.

The subsequent events unfolded just as expected.

Qin Chen fought his way through, ultimately and easily securing first place in the Seventh Class's Class Battle.

Among his opponents, only a few at Body Tempering Layer One still tried to struggle. The rest, who hadn't officially become martial artists, all surrendered immediately and without hesitation.

Martial artists, besides possessing an unwavering conviction, also needed to know how to adapt.

When facing an opponent they clearly couldn't defeat, there was no need to go up and get beaten, right?

It wasn't a battle they absolutely had to fight; it was just a Class Battle.

After the Class Battle concluded, Qin Chen immediately headed towards the Battle Skill Pavilion.

As for battle skills, the sooner you learned them, the sooner you could enjoy them!

Come on!

May all the side effects befall me!

Meanwhile, The news that a person with a Spiritual Energy Aptitude of only one point from First Year of Senior High's Seventh Class had won first place in the Class Battle was spreading rapidly throughout the school...

Before long, Qin Chen arrived in front of a building.

Looking up, the Battle Skill Pavilion was a two-story structure.

Compared to the other modern buildings in the school, it possessed a certain charm.

Arriving at the entrance.

Standard setup!

An old man, a lounge chair, basking in the sun!

Qin Chen approached him and said with a hint of respect:

"Hello! I'm the first place winner of this year's Class Battle for Seventh Class, and I'm here at the Battle Skill Pavilion to choose a D-rank Combat Skill!"

The old man opened his eyes, glanced at Qin Chen indifferently, and then spoke:

"Go in!"

After speaking, he closed his eyes again, enjoying the beautiful sunlight!

Seeing this, Qin Chen didn't ask any more questions. He nodded slightly at the old man and stepped into the Battle Skill Pavilion.

After Qin Chen entered the Battle Skill Pavilion, the old man lying down opened his eyes again.

He took out a bead that looked like a glass ball from his pocket.

The next second, the bead emitted a faint blue light, projecting a screen in front of the old man.

The screen clearly displayed various information about Qin Chen.

"In just three days since awakening, his Realm is already close to Body Tempering Layer Two, and the aura emanating from him is no weaker than that of someone in Body Tempering Layer Two!"

"Is his Physique strength unusual?"

"And a Spiritual Energy Aptitude of one point?"

"Could it be..."

Zhao Wu, the old man, had a sharp glint in his eyes.

If Qin Chen could hear this, he would definitely exclaim:

"As expected, the old men guarding the Battle Skill Pavilion are not ordinary people!"

Because one of the side effects of the Seven Injuries Fist's Side Effect Reversal is that after cultivation, it can slightly improve physical fitness.

Therefore, even though Qin Chen's Realm had not yet broken through to Body Tempering Layer Two, his actual physical fitness was not much weaker than that of someone in Body Tempering Layer Two.

This was why he could easily defeat Wang Jing and the others when facing them.

A D-rank Footwork Combat Skill with only Entry Level proficiency was not enough to erase the gap between Wang Jing and him.

Not long after, Qin Chen arrived inside the Battle Skill Pavilion.

Looking around, bookshelves were arranged neatly.

Each bookshelf held many ancient texts, and each text was enclosed in a blue, shield-like object.

Although technology was highly developed nowadays, with much knowledge stored in virtual chips.

For battle skills, most were still preserved using the original method of ancient texts.

The blue light shields enclosing the texts were a form of defense.

Only after selecting a battle skill would the blue light shield disappear, granting access to the skill.

Before the blue light shield vanished, one could only view the basic introduction of the battle skill, not its specific content.

This was precisely to prevent people like Qin Chen from "shearing wool"!

Otherwise, with his Side Effect Reversal, those extremely difficult battle skills would be as easy as picking them up.

He might even "shear" all the high-difficulty battle skills here.

However, he wasn't too disappointed. He already knew these rules before entering the Battle Skill Pavilion.

Therefore, he was mentally prepared.

Before long, Qin Chen arrived beside a bookshelf.

He looked towards one of the ancient texts...
