Selection Ends, Elite Class!

Su Ye bid farewell to Xia Zhiqiu, who had suddenly become a master that even Liu Shanzhen fled from.

He walked forward bit by bit along the side of the arena.

42

36

28

Finally, he stopped in front of Arena Number 22.

The defender: Zhang Xuan.

Su Ye smiled faintly.

It's you.

With a light leap, Su Ye stepped onto the stage.

There were no other challengers beside Zhang Xuan's arena. Zhang Xuan was currently standing on the stage with his arms crossed and eyes slightly closed.

He heard the sound.

"Challenging me, you have great courag— Su Ye?!"

Zhang Xuan's eyes snapped wide open.

"Hello."

Su Ye nodded politely.

"We meet again. Is your leg alright?"

Zhang Xuan instinctively took two steps back, feeling his legs already starting to ache. Does Su Ye intend to break more of his legs?!

He thought about how Su Ye had even killed the martial arts instructor who was at the Ninth Level of Kaiyuan.

Although... there might have been an element of surprise.

It was still enough to prove Su Ye's strength.

Without a second thought, Zhang Xuan cupped his hands in a salute.

"So it's Student Su. I'm no match for you. I concede."

With that, Zhang Xuan jumped off the stage himself.

What a joke.

If he delayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to jump at all.

After jumping off the stage, Zhang Xuan didn't dare to linger and retreated several more steps.

"Student Su has successfully challenged and is now the arena master. I wish you all the best and a bright future."

Su Ye, who was about to chase after him: ...

I almost forgot.

Everyone only has one challenge opportunity in this arena competition.

If successful, they become the arena master and must then face three more challenges.

If he chased Zhang Xuan off the stage, it would be equivalent to giving up his arena master status and being unable to enter the elite class.

This Zhang Xuan... is quite interesting.

Seeing that Su Ye had stopped his pursuit, Zhang Xuan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then...

"Thump!"

Zhang Xuan, who was retreating, bumped into someone.

Liu Shanzhen.

Liu Shanzhen, who was still annoyed from being forced to flee earlier, looked up angrily when he was bumped...

And then, he saw Zhang Xuan... and Su Ye on the stage behind Zhang Xuan.

Liu Shanzhen: ...???

Liu Shanzhen turned and ran!

Damn it!

Why did I run into that Su Ye again?!

Liu Shanzhen was starting to question his life.

Should I just give up and not enter the elite class?

Otherwise, won't I run into Su Ye every single day?!

Liu Shanzhen had only walked a short distance.

"Student Liu, wait up! Please, wait!"

Zhang Xuan quickly caught up to Liu Shanzhen.

Liu Shanzhen looked impatient.

"What do you want?"

Zhang Xuan didn't care about Liu Shanzhen's attitude and asked in a low voice.

"Student Liu, do you seem to know Student Su Ye?"

Liu Shanzhen frowned.

What does he mean?

Is he here to mock me?

Zhang Xuan quickly added.

"I originally occupied that stage to defend it, but... you saw what happened."

So he was also beaten by Su Ye.

Liu Shanzhen's mood instantly improved.

"Ah, you were just unlucky to be chosen by him. I ran into him this morning and was beaten so badly I started questioning my life... You didn't challenge and occupy a stage directly before, did you? Then you still have one challenge opportunity. You must be careful."

Su Ye actually defeated Liu Shanzhen head-on?!

Zhang Xuan was stunned.

"I really didn't expect Student Su Ye to be this powerful."

Liu Shanzhen also sighed.

"Yeah, I hadn't heard his name before. Who knew he would suddenly rise to prominence... But he's a supernatural ability awakener, which explains it."

Zhang Xuan: "What? A supernatural ability awakener?"

"You didn't know?"

Liu Shanzhen was first taken aback, then realized.

"That's right, you just encountered him. After I lost to Su Ye this morning, I went to the teacher to find out about Su Ye. I learned that he just awakened his supernatural ability a few days ago, and after awakening, he broke through four levels consecutively. It must be a high-level ability, so losing to him isn't unfair."

The fact that Su Ye awakened his supernatural ability wasn't a secret; the teachers all knew.

Liu Shanzhen said it directly.

After speaking, he patted Zhang Xuan, his fellow unfortunate soul, on the shoulder and left gracefully.

He still needed to find a stage master to challenge as soon as possible.

Zhang Xuan, however, remained where he was, lost in thought.

Su Ye is a supernatural ability awakener?!

And he only awakened his ability a few days ago.

Coincidentally, it was also a few days ago that Young Master Su Yang of Yujing asked me to 'look after' Su Ye.

Could the supernatural ability Su Ye awakened be extraordinary?

Or is there some other reason?

But no matter the reason, Su Ye is clearly someone not to be offended.

Zhang Xuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, a plan gradually forming in his mind.

Stage 22.

Not long after Zhang Xuan and Liu Shanzhen left.

Someone else arrived.

Seeing Su Ye standing with his eyes closed on the stage, the newcomer's eyes lit up.

This person looks unfamiliar.

He's definitely not among the top fifty in the martial arts year.

He hasn't even been seen in the top hundred.

He must have gotten lucky and entered the afternoon stage matches.

"As expected, I knew someone would take advantage of the chaos and occupy a high-ranked stage in advance, thinking no one would challenge them and they could smoothly enter the elite class."

The newcomer chuckled, as if he had seen through everything.

He immediately jumped onto the stage, looking as if he was afraid someone would snatch it from him.

"Heh heh, I finally found a lucky break."

Su Ye slightly opened his eyes.

"Congratulations."

BOOM--

The challenger was sent flying off the stage by Su Ye's punch.

His only chance to challenge.

Gone.

The challenger didn't even leave his name, having already lost his chance to enter the elite class.
