"They actually defeated Qin Muyang, a First Heaven of Martial Artist Realm expert. That's incredible."
Jiang Yaru had witnessed the scene too, and she was so shocked she could barely speak. She had thought Xia Ping was bound to lose. After all, defeating a Martial Artist Realm expert should have been impossible.
But now Qin Muyang had been beaten by Xia Ping like a dead dog. She could hardly imagine what she was seeing.
The childhood friend she had once needed to look after had now grown into someone far stronger than her, standing at the pinnacle of Tianshui City High School. He had swept through all the major schools and was unbeatable.
"How can he be this strong?"
Chu Rong clenched her fists, deeply unwilling to accept it. If things went on like this, she feared she would never be able to defeat that hateful man and avenge herself for what he had done before.
Still, she hadn't lost faith. Given enough time, she was certain she would advance to the Martial Artist Realm and cross swords with that bastard again.
"He actually beat Qin Muyang and won the championship. This is huge." Their homeroom teacher, Qiu Xue, was also taken aback. She could hardly believe her eyes.
Given her own level of martial arts, she couldn't even tell what methods Xia Ping had used to win. She had no idea he possessed such formidable combat strength; he had hidden it extremely well.
But that was how it was with martial artists. You found out whether someone was strong by fighting them.
Theories, other people's opinions, reputations, and all the rest meant nothing. One punch was all it took to find out who was stronger and who was the real expert. There was no need for any other nonsense.
