Below.
Su Ye quickly found his student number.
First match, Challenge Platform 11.
"I'm off."
After letting Xia Zhiqiu know, Su Ye headed straight for Challenge Platform 11.
A girl with an apple-shaped face and twin ponytails stood on the platform. Her eyes lit up when she saw Su Ye step up, and she began twisting one of her ponytails around her fingers.
"S-Student Su."
"You know me? Then I'll go easy on you."
"What?"
Tweet—
The whistle blew.
Bang—
A figure flew off the platform.
Su Ye flashed to the girl's side, and then... she went flying.
But Su Ye had controlled his strength perfectly. By the time she landed, the force had dissipated, letting her steady herself with ease.
Her body was steady, but her mind was still reeling.
How could someone so handsome be so ruthless?
On the platform, Su Ye lowered his hand and smiled.
"No need to thank me."
Such a measured touch. I really am a gentleman.
Second match.
Su Ye's assigned opponent was a chubby boy who looked unusually stern. The moment he saw Su Ye, hatred flashed in his eyes.
All handsome guys must die!
To that...
Bang—
Su Ye launched a kick, unleashing the Vampire's tremendous strength.
The chubby boy shot off the platform as though someone had tied a rope around his waist and yanked hard.
Thud—
He slammed into the ground.
Su Ye had clearly shown him none of the gentlemanly restraint he'd shown the apple-faced girl with twin ponytails.
Third match.
This time, Su Ye's opponent was somewhat stronger: Liu Shanzhen, the second-best Martial Arts student in Senior Class Four, with a Cultivation Level at the Eighth Level of Kaiyuan.
After stepping onto the platform, Liu Shanzhen gave Su Ye a casual glance and shook his head.
"You're no match for me. Step down."
Liu Shanzhen wasn't looking down on Su Ye.
He was at the Eighth Level of Kaiyuan.
And he cultivated an advanced Cultivation Method, the Mountain Suppressing Art.
With cultivation like his, how could an unknown like Su Ye compare?
Su Ye gave it some serious thought.
"Mm, you have a point. As I am now, I'm still a little short. Wait a moment!"
Liu Shanzhen: ???
Wait?
For what?
Then Liu Shanzhen watched Su Ye's aura surge.
[Burning 70 Slaughter Value. Cultivation Level +1]
Boom—
The aura of the Seventh Level of Kaiyuan erupted from Su Ye.
Liu Shanzhen: !!!
Su Ye loosened up his body.
The Seventh Level of Kaiyuan was terrifyingly powerful... Ahem. This feels good.
"All right. Now I can knock you off the platform."
Su Ye beckoned to Liu Shanzhen, signaling that they could begin.
Liu Shanzhen gave Su Ye a long look. Instead of making another bold claim, he grew serious.
This Su Ye is no ordinary opponent.
He broke through just like that.
At the Seventh Level of Kaiyuan, Su Ye could no longer be called an unknown among the senior students.
Still...
He was one level below Liu Shanzhen.
But...
Only when they actually clashed did Liu Shanzhen realize he hadn't taken Su Ye nearly seriously enough.
How is he so strong?!
Why is someone at the Seventh Level of Kaiyuan stronger than me when I'm at the Eighth?!
And why is his Basic Combat Technique so polished?
Liu Shanzhen knew the Basic Combat Technique inside out, yet in Su Ye's hands... it was breathtaking.
Liu Shanzhen wasn't the only one surprised.
Up in the stands, the teachers also began paying attention to the match.
At first, they had been watching Liu Shanzhen.
They'd expected him to crush his opponent, just as he had before.
But who would have thought...
Liu Shanzhen was the one being overwhelmed.
The Class Four Class Teacher looked utterly baffled.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me?!
Liu Shanzhen is getting beaten down by someone at the Seventh Level of Kaiyuan?!
And...
And his opponent broke through right here on the platform?!
But they were teachers, after all. Once their initial shock passed, they quickly saw why.
"Perfection-level Basic Combat Technique! Where did this genius come from?"
"Exactly. Basic Combat Technique is only the most ordinary form of combat training. It doesn't even count as a true Martial Skill. But mastering it to this degree proves this child has developed his Genetic Potential to a remarkably high level. If he can reach Foundation Establishment..."
The Class Two teacher's face was full of admiration.
This was even more astonishing than reaching the Ninth Level of Kaiyuan!
Reaching the Ninth Level of Kaiyuan now would only mean cultivating six months or a year faster than others.
But bringing Basic Combat Technique to Perfection meant developing Genetic Potential to a higher level. It meant absorbing more energy during Foundation Establishment and laying a stronger foundation for future cultivation.
That meant the potential to reach even greater heights.
Beside him, the Class Three teacher nodded gravely.
"It is Perfection-level Basic Combat Technique. And if I'm not mistaken, his strength, speed, and agility are all far beyond normal. Is this... an innate physique, or...?"
The Class Three teacher couldn't help looking at Lan Jingfei, who stood nearby with a smile.
"Teacher Lan, he's from your class, isn't he? Don't tell me he's awakened a Supernatural Ability too?"
At those words, everyone turned to Lan Jingfei.
An awakened Supernatural Ability?!
If that was true, it was extraordinary!
Lan Jingfei smiled without denying it.
There was no point denying it anyway.
Given Su Ye's performance, he would surely enter the intensive training class and receive the school's full support.
By then, word of his awakened Supernatural Ability was bound to get out.
"Su Ye has indeed awakened a Supernatural Ability. It's just that he awakened so recently—only a few days ago... What a shame."
Lan Jingfei spoke of regret, but the corners of her mouth kept rising.
"Otherwise, given how he broke through three Minor Realms immediately after awakening, his Cultivation Level could have been even higher. He wouldn't still be at just the Sixth Level of Kaiyuan."
"Oh, wait. He broke through again just now. He's at the Seventh Level of Kaiyuan."
"Four Minor Realms in three days. His pace is passable."
The teachers: ...
What a show-off!
You're the biggest show-off of them all!
They had thought Chen Ze, the Class One Class Teacher, and Old Qian, the Class Three Class Teacher, were show-offs.
But it turned out...
Lan Jingfei was the real master!
