As Jiang Nan walked into the classroom.
The room, which had been buzzing with pre-exam chatter, suddenly quieted down a few degrees.
His handsome, refreshing face still caught the attention of quite a few female classmates.
But remembering that after the monthly exam, Jiang Nan wouldn't be their classmate anymore.
There was even a little bit of disappointment.
He walked to his seat by the window and sat down on his own, and the students' murmurs picked up again.
"Yo, why's my South God wearing a hat? Trying to act tough?"
"Pfft... probably knows he's getting kicked out and can't show his face, right? Haha!"
Jiang Nan gazed out the window at the scenery.
Three years ago, the name South God had echoed throughout the entire Jiang City!
Now, the title "South God" was nothing but a joke.
Today, maybe everything would be different!
Just then, class monitor Li Xiang walked up to Jiang Nan.
"Jiang Nan, don't get discouraged. Getting kicked out is what it is!"
"Maybe the Spirit Warrior path isn't for you, but your Space Element ability still has its uses! At least you can open up an Other Dimension Space to store stuff!"
"My dad runs a logistics company. After you graduate high school, you can come work for him!"
"Thirty thousand a month, and I can even provide Spirit Orbs for you to cultivate. How about it?"
Li Xiang's words drew the attention of many classmates.
"Whoa? Thirty thousand? That's too much! Three thousand is about right! Haha!"
"Now that's my Bro Xiang, acting like a real class monitor!"
Jiang Nan glanced at Li Xiang and gave a bright smile. "So you're telling me to go deliver packages?"
As soon as he said that, the whole class burst into laughter. Li Xiang shrugged with a smile.
"Haha, a Space Element Spirit Warrior delivering packages—perfectly matched skills!"
"Three thousand, no more!"
Li Xiang: "Opportunity like this is rare. Think it over!"
Jiang Nan grinned. "I know a foreman at a construction site south of the city. With your Earth Element Ability, digging a septic tank there would be worth ten excavators, right?"
At that, the whole class's faces turned red from holding in laughter, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
What the hell, excavators!
And ten of them!
Li Xiang's face went dark!
[From Li Xiang: Resentment Points +999!]
"Don't be ungrateful!"
Jiang Nan was about to reply.
Li Muyan, who hadn't slept all night and was sporting dark circles, stormed into the classroom and said to Jiang Nan:
"You're going to take responsibility for what you did to me last night!"
Jiang Nan paused for two seconds. "What, still hurts?"
As soon as he said that, the entire class went silent, and the looks they gave the two of them changed!
What the hell?
What's going on?
You two were going at it naked last night?
Never would've thought, never in a million years!
My South God is this fierce?
This circle is so messed up...
Li Muyan suddenly realized the flaw in her words, blushed bright red, and snapped, "You're shameless!"
[From Li Muyan: Resentment Points +789!]
But just then, the homeroom teacher, dressed in a professional suit, walked into the classroom and tapped the blackboard with her pointer. "Everyone back to your seats. Quiet!"
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes. "Just you wait. You'll get yours soon enough!"
Jiang Nan grinned. This Resentment Points thing was way too easy to farm!
The homeroom teacher spoke up: "The monthly exam will be held shortly. We'll test Spirit Warrior ranks and attack power. Gather at the gymnasium. All of you, stay sharp!"
"Spiritual Martial Class One is the top class. Don't drag us down, got it?"
The homeroom teacher's gaze landed on Jiang Nan.
Quite a few classmates looked at Jiang Nan and let out a snicker.
Jiang Nan remained unmoved.
Jiangcheng No. 1 High School's gymnasium was a building like a glass house.
It had been remodeled into a venue suitable for Spirit Warriors.
Third floor!
The ten senior-year Spiritual Martial classes, fewer than five hundred people in total, gathered in class formation.
After a headmaster's speech that nearly put everyone to sleep, the monthly exam testing began.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows stood a testing machine!
It looked like a punching power tester, the target forged from Titanium-Magnesium Alloy, with a display screen above it showing the numbers.
A student from Class Ten stepped up first, gathering his aura, and both hands were suddenly covered in flames!
Then he swung hard, hurling a basin-sized fireball at the testing machine.
With a booming explosion, flames scattered everywhere!
The target was scorched black, and the display showed the value.
"Black Iron Nine Stars, Attack Power A!"
That student's face lit up with excitement, a hint of pride in his eyes as he returned to the formation.
The proctor said, "Mm, not bad! Next!"
One by one, the students went up to test, each showing off their skills.
Most were awakenings of the five major elements, but there were also special-type awakenings, like beast transformation, strength, and telekinesis.
The rankings on the leaderboard kept shifting nonstop based on level and attack power.
Two hours later, it was finally Spiritual Martial Class One's turn.
The students had long been eager to go.
Li Xiang was the first to leap out. He took a deep breath, stomped hard on the ground!
The reinforced concrete floor twisted violently, forming a cement fist that slammed heavily into the testing machine.
"Bronze Three Stars, Attack Power S!"
His ranking shot straight to first on the leaderboard!
Li Xiang let out a long breath, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"As expected of the Spiritual Martial Class One class president! Bronze Three Stars? That's insane!"
"A genius, I heard his talent is A-grade!"
"No wonder! How many high schools have students who can reach Bronze level?"
Amid a wave of admiration, Li Xiang returned to the formation and cast a contemptuous glance at Jiang Nan, the meaning in his eyes clear without words.
After a few more students, it was Li Muyan's turn.
As a Gold Element Awakener, she controlled a steel ball bearing to slam violently into the testing machine.
Its power rivaled that of hot weapons, even sparking on impact!
"Black Iron Ten Stars Peak, Attack Power A!"
Her ranking surged, charging straight into the top ten on the leaderboard!
"Whew! Spiritual Martial Class One is full of beasts—this girl is way too strong!"
"Element-type awakeners are all magic gods, no question about their attack power!"
Li Muyan walked over to Jiang Nan with a cold face: "Just wait to get kicked out of Spiritual Martial Class!"
"Class One, Jiang Nan! Your turn!"
A faint smile curled at the corner of Jiang Nan's mouth. He pressed down his cap and walked slowly to the testing machine.
"Haha, who said everyone in Class One is a powerhouse? Isn't there still a South God here?"
"A half-meter teleport and he's wiped out, haha!"
"Probably can't even make the testing machine show a number!"
As Jiang Nan stepped up, the crowd started buzzing, all waiting to see the show.
Jiang Nan paid no attention to the cold remarks.
He took a deep breath, every muscle in his body twisting together like steel cables!
Stepping forward with his left foot, he twisted his waist and drove his hips, his iron fist swinging out fiercely.
The punch even produced a deafening air blast!
"Boom!"
The Titanium-Magnesium Alloy target was dented like putty.
The four fixed corner brackets snapped off, and the entire testing machine was sent flying by the brute force of the impact!
Like it had been hit by a truck!
It smashed through the glass window, crashed down from the third floor onto the rubber track, and rolled another twenty-plus meters...
The shockwave blew the cap off Jiang Nan's head, revealing a shiny bald head!
The entire venue fell dead silent!
Li Xiang was dumbfounded, Li Muyan was dumbfounded! Even all the students, the proctors, and the principal were dumbfounded!
Bald head!
One punch blew up the testing machine!
For a moment, the students all had the same illusion.
"Teacher Saitama, is that you?"
"All you're missing is the cape!"
