Seeing Lu Ren's face full of defiance as he prepared to argue further, Han Zhen did not give him another chance to speak. "If you insist that there is an issue with the assessment system's scoring, fine, but you need to provide concrete evidence to support your challenge."

"As for challenging Chen Mochuan, even if you intend to go through with it, wait until tomorrow. The city is still under martial law, so today's exam ends here! Do not let your own baseless speculation delay all the other students from heading home!"

Han Zhen's forceful intervention brought the sudden farce to a swift conclusion.

Immediately after, he announced the end of the exam and urged the students of the elite class to leave the school as soon as possible.

Among the dispersing crowd, Lu Ren looked resentful, his eyes burning with fury.

What infuriated him most was that throughout the entire exchange, Chen Mochuan had not said a single word, nor had he even glanced at him. That feeling of being completely ignored was even harder to endure than direct mockery.

Lu Ren clenched his fists tightly, secretly resolving in his heart: Tomorrow morning, he would formally challenge Chen Mochuan in front of the entire class!

If the other party avoided the fight, he would only need to stir up a little trouble, and Chen Mochuan would surely lose all face in the class.

And if he actually dared to accept...

A cold sneer curled the corner of Lu Ren's lips. That would be asking for trouble. He would have the perfect justification to teach him a harsh lesson, making him fully understand the absolute gap in raw strength that could not be bridged by mere trickery!

After leaving school, Chen Mochuan headed to the Mingxin Martial Arts Hall as usual.

He sparred with Zhang Mingcheng for over half an hour, raising his Tiger Fiend Fist to Mastery (6%), and after receiving another 800 yuan in payment, he began to practice on his own.

Now that his realm had improved, he had digested most of the insights on the Tiger Fiend Fist he had gained from Feng Shi. Its essence had been fully absorbed, and it could no longer support his highest-intensity training.

At this moment, he remembered the larger Spirit Light Seed in this martial arts room and knew it was time to absorb it.

Chen Mochuan found a secluded corner, silently activated "Spirit Devourer," and quickly established a connection with the Spirit Light Seed, smoothly drawing it into his body.

In an instant, his consciousness sank deep into his mind, entering that special state of enlightenment.

In a trance, the figure of a spirited young man with an aura as steady as a mountain appeared in his consciousness.

The young man was dressed in the black martial arts uniform specific to the Mingxin Martial Arts Hall, his brow revealing a sense of sharpness and confidence. Although Chen Mochuan had never seen this person in the hall, it did not prevent him from internalizing the other's insights into fist techniques.

In these insights, the ferocity of the Tiger Fiend Fist was elevated to a new height by the young man.

The fist momentum was no longer just a simple straight-line strike; it emphasized an inherent explosive power, like a tiger crouching and waiting for the right moment, only to unleash a world-shaking strike once launched.

Every punch required a high degree of unity between Qi and intent, twisting the strength of the entire body into a single point to be released in an instant, pursuing that irresistible, one-hit-victory effect.

What surprised Chen Mochuan even more was that at the moment the fist momentum reached its peak or when a sudden killing blow was unleashed, a short, explosive "Tiger Roaring" would erupt from the depths of the young man's throat!

This roar was not a simple shout, but a special sonic attack method formed by unique Qi-blood vibration and throat muscle control techniques, fused with the domineering intent of the Tiger Fiend Fist.

The roar was condensed into a tangible force, instantly striking the opponent's eardrums and spirit, enough to cause their Qi-blood to churn, their mind to shake, and their movements to suffer a momentary delay or stiffness, creating the perfect opportunity for the lethal fist strike that followed.

After a long while, Chen Mochuan finally emerged from that special state of enlightenment.

[You activated "Spirit Devourer" and absorbed 1 portion of martial arts insight, gaining a deeper understanding of the Tiger Fiend Fist.]

Having initially absorbed the young martial artist's insights on the Tiger Fiend Fist, he had gained quite a bit from this martial art once again.

Unlike the insights he had absorbed from Feng Shi, the most striking part of this young martial artist's insights was the sonic attack technique.

Strictly speaking, "Tiger Roaring" did not belong to the inherent move set of the Tiger Fiend Fist.

Chen Mochuan speculated that this exceptionally talented young martial artist might have borrowed principles from sonic martial arts like the "Lion's Roar" or "Thunder Sound Force," cleverly integrating them into the fierce momentum of his own Tiger Fiend Fist to improve and create a unique sonic intimidation method exclusive to his personal style.

However, although the insights related to "Tiger Roaring" were deeply imprinted in Chen Mochuan's mind, sonic techniques required a certain level of control over Qi-blood and the ability to simulate the spirit of a real tiger.

He still needed to observe with his own eyes and listen with his own ears to the true spirit of a tiger's roar, and after a period of exploration and practice, he would be able to better master and unleash the true power of "Tiger Roaring."

But the next thing made Chen Mochuan feel troubled.

Even if there were tigers in the city zoo, they had long since lost their wild nature after being kept in captivity for years; they were lazy and docile. On a normal day, let alone a soul-shaking roar, even a decent growl was hard to hear.

The zoo also strictly prohibited visitors from teasing the animals, so trying to provoke them was not an option.

In this way, he simply could not find an effective observation sample.

While enjoying his massage and meal, Chen Mochuan's thoughts continued to revolve around this problem.

It wasn't until he used his virtual pod to enter the Virtual World and his gaze swept across the main interface that he was inadvertently attracted to a module, causing his spirits to lift.

[Immersive Reality]!

The content in the Immersive Reality module was completely different from regular film and video.

It utilized top-tier virtual reality and neural sensory interaction technology, capable of reproducing real scenes to nearly 100%, allowing the viewer to gain an intense sense of presence, as if they were personally in the environment recorded in the video.

Viewers could not only freely switch between multiple perspectives to observe details but could even interact with the environment or non-core targets within the video to a limited extent, thereby gaining a deep experience far beyond that of traditional video.

Chen Mochuan immediately thought that he could search for Immersive Reality content about tiger roars in this module, and the problem of observation would be solved.

He first searched for the keyword [Tiger Roar], but did not find any high-quality resources that matched perfectly, so he expanded the scope to search for [Tiger], which finally filtered out a large number of results.

However, to film this kind of high-quality "Immersive Reality" video, one had to use a special piece of equipment called a [Panoramic Perception Collector].

And the cheapest set of [Panoramic Perception Collector] started at hundreds of thousands, its price tag rivaling that of a virtual pod.

Based on such high production costs, the vast majority of high-quality "Immersive Reality" videos required payment to watch.

It was just that many paid videos only provided a short free preview at the beginning. Chen Mochuan watched many previews of paid videos but did not find what he wanted during the trial stage, and without knowing the content of the second half of the videos, he could not blindly spend money to purchase them.

Thus, he turned his target to the free video library, but after browsing through dozens of free videos, he still came up empty-handed. The content was mostly dull daily records, lacking the kind of wild, explosive moments he needed.

Just as he intended to give up for the day and continue searching tomorrow, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he changed the search keyword to the more impactful [Ferocious Tiger].

Suddenly, a video title with a very high view count caught his eye.

[Beast Fight! Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger VS Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion!]
