At that moment, the campus was packed with teachers and students.

"Jiang Li, you've gone too far! How dare you hit a teacher!"

Supporting Zhou Weihua, Lu Wanning pointed at Jiang Li and accused him angrily.

"Hm?"

Though Jiang Li had exhausted his strength, a single glance from him still made Lu Wanning's heart tremble, and her voice involuntarily weakened.

"Jiang Li is finished this time. He's got some nerve—he'll definitely be expelled."

"I never expected Jiang Li to become an Eighth-grade Martial Artist, but he dared to hit Teacher Zhou. The school definitely won't let him off."

"Luckily, he paid back the money he owed me. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know where to collect it from."

The students whispered among themselves, while Dean of Discipline Zhang He and Li Jun from the security department wore equally grim expressions.

As Eighth-grade Martial Artists, one had been blasted away with a punch, while the other had been sent flying by a slap. To them, it was the same kind of unbearable humiliation.

Jiang Li paid them no mind. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yun Fei and Ma Changyou approaching.

"What are you all gathering here for? Don't you need to prepare for the college entrance examinations?"

Ma Changyou's shout boomed like thunder, making quite a few students tremble in fear.

"Zhang He, Li Jun, you two—why aren't you maintaining order on campus!?"

After saying that, Ma Changyou glanced at Jiang Li without revealing anything, then left with Zhou Weihua and the others.

Yun Fei also walked up to Jiang Li and said irritably, "I only went to make a phone call, and you caused such a huge mess."

Jiang Li could tell from her tone that the problem had been resolved.

What surprised him was that the school had not even asked about the cause and effect.

"How did it turn out?" Jiang Li asked.

"Don't worry. The school won't pursue this, but only this once. There won't be a next time," Yun Fei said with a frown.

"Not that. I mean the Breathing Technique." Jiang Li smiled.

Yun Fei paused and looked at Jiang Li in some confusion.

"Since I decided to make a move, I was naturally willing to bear the consequences. Besides, with my strength, it would be Seventeenth High School's loss if I left." Jiang Li looked composed as he said with a faint smile, "I don't believe any high school in Beihe City could refuse the future top scorer of the martial arts examination."

"Arrogant!" Yun Fei could not help laughing. Yet Jiang Li's attitude only made her find him more interesting.

How could one lack arrogance on the martial path?

Which of the geniuses at Nanfang University was not proud and lofty?

If Jiang Li had been timid and shrinking, she would have looked down on him instead.

"I've already made the call. Congratulations—you've become one of Nanfang Martial Arts University's provisional specially recruited students," Yun Fei said with a smile.

"A provisional specially recruited student?" Jiang Li froze.

"Don't think that becoming an Eighth-grade Martial Artist at eighteen means you can enter Nanfang University with absolute certainty."

"Nanfang University's threshold isn't as low as you imagine." A trace of pride appeared on Yun Fei's face. "Although it's special recruitment, you still need to pass the university's assessment before you can be considered officially enrolled."

"However, I naturally haven't forgotten what I promised you."

"Give me your phone!"

Jiang Li paused, but still took out his phone.

After a series of operations, Yun Fei downloaded an exclusive app whose name was [Divine Martial Connect].

"I added you on it. I'll also send the Breathing Technique to you through Divine Martial Connect. It will remain valid for three days, then automatically burn itself."

"The Breathing Technique I applied for you is the Fire Spirit Breathing Technique, currently a C-Class Breathing Technique."

Jiang Li immediately frowned upon hearing that.

"A C-Class Breathing Technique?" He instantly felt that he had been cheated.

Hadn't they agreed on the strongest Breathing Technique? Why was it only C-Class!?

In his memories, Breathing Techniques and talent abilities shared the same rankings:

D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS—seven grades in total.

Even if Breathing Techniques were extremely rare, C-Class was far too stingy.

"You look down on a C-Class Breathing Technique? Even a genius would need at least five years, if not longer, to master this C-Class Breathing Technique."

"The stronger the Breathing Technique, the harder it is to get started. If I taught you an SSS-Class Breathing Technique now, you might not even be able to get started in a hundred years." Yun Fei had known Jiang Li would make that expression, so she was not surprised.

"I don't accept that explanation," Jiang Li said seriously.

Yun Fei paused, lightly biting her silver teeth. "You little brat, taking kindness for donkey liver and lungs. Fine, I'll tell you the truth."

"This Fire Spirit Breathing Technique is actually a dismantled version of the SS-Class Great Sun True Fire Breathing Technique. It's like the first layer of the Heavenly River Crimson Blood Art that you cultivate."

"Only after successfully cultivating the first layer will you be qualified to cultivate the next. Likewise, once you cultivate the Fire Spirit Breathing Technique to mastery, you can naturally apply to the school for the next stage of the Breathing Technique."

"Since I promised to give you one of the strongest Breathing Techniques, would I really deceive you?"

Yun Fei was somewhat angry. She felt that Jiang Li was too ambitious for his age, which was not necessarily a good thing.

Only then did the dissatisfaction in Jiang Li's heart vanish completely.

An SS-Class Breathing Technique was an absolute treasure. On the black market, it would probably start at ten billion at the very least. Nanfang Martial Arts University truly lived up to its name.

Seeing Jiang Li's gradually emerging smile as he seemingly lost himself in thought, Yun Fei grew even angrier.

"Also, don't think you can look down on everyone else just because you have a bit of strength."

"The Heavenly River Crimson Blood Art is good, but the martial arts examination tests actual combat. Strength is not determined only by Blood Qi Value, but also martial arts, Breathing Techniques, and even talent abilities."

"As far as I know, Beihe City already has three awakened martial arts examinees. That Lin Lingfei from First High School even awakened the same A-Class talent as mine."

"The top scorer of Beihe City may not necessarily be you."

Yun Fei wanted to give Jiang Li a warning. Although his talent, strength, and Blood Qi were all astonishing, he could not become too impetuous.

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Yun... Senior Yun." Jiang Li flashed a brilliant smile. "By the way, I also happen to want to choose two martial arts. Could you help me out, Senior?"

As a teacher at the Martial Testing Tower, she had access to the martial arts stored from the third floor upward.

He had not chosen any martial arts at the Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall before because one of Seventeenth High School's martial arts suited him better.

[Eighth-grade Martial Art]: Swift Wind Thunderous Charge Saber

Furthermore, after realizing his own shortcomings, he also wanted to choose a movement technique.

"According to the school's rules, you are indeed qualified to choose martial arts."

"As it happens, I've already told Principal Ma that I'll personally guide you until the martial arts examination ends," Yun Fei said.

"Really?" Jiang Li's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Senior Teacher."

"What Senior Teacher?" Yun Fei could not help laughing, feeling rather helpless toward Jiang Li.

"Oh, there's one more thing. Every year, the high schools in Beihe City have one and only one quota for a Talent Awakening Stone."

"Because of that, some examinees spare no effort to transfer to lower-ranked high schools, like Luo Tianji at this school."

"If you can obtain the Awakening Stone and awaken your talent before the martial arts examination, it will be beneficial for both your examination and your future."

A Talent Awakening Stone!?

Jiang Li had memories of it, but today, he had already witnessed it with his own eyes.

Principal Ma's Petrifying Skin, and Yun Fei's Godspeed—such powers had nearly surpassed the bounds of humanity.

A talent ability?

Jiang Li was also looking forward to finding out what his own talent ability would be.

Luo Tianji had transferred here for the Talent Awakening Stone in the first place, effectively seizing the qualification for ordinary students to obtain an Awakening Stone.

In that case, Jiang Li would simply take it back.

"I understand, Senior."

Jiang Li replied with a radiant smile.

Awakening Stone, I, Jiang Li...

Would definitely obtain it!
