Arrogance Has Its Capital

[Ding!]

[You have completed a punch, the force of this punch is: 61%!]

[Gained 1 Martial Dao Point!]

[Your realm has improved!]

[Current Realm: Mud Embryo Realm, 23rd Layer!]

At this moment, Ye Xiao was already accustomed to his realm improving with every punch.

Furthermore, with every improvement in his realm, Ye Xiao could feel the power within his body becoming much more solid. His martial foundation was growing increasingly firm.

For a normal person, once they reach the bottleneck of a realm, the growth of their power enters a significantly sluggish phase. Unless they can break through that bottleneck—that is, advance to the next major realm—they remain stagnant.

But Ye Xiao clearly did not have this problem. As of now, he could continuously improve within his minor realms! At the same time, the power gained each time showed no signs of diminishing.

At this moment, Gao Yao was completely dumbfounded. He pushed up his glasses, staring at the scene before him in disbelief. When Wang Lei was knocked down by Ye Xiao's punch right before his eyes, his mind went blank.

Ye Xiao walked toward him, and Gao Yao subconsciously retreated, gradually being forced to the edge.

"You just said that I only won against Zhang Qiang because I resorted to sneak attacks."

"What about now?"

Ye Xiao had defeated Wang Lei fair and square, in a head-on confrontation!

At this moment, Gao Yao's knees went weak, and he actually knelt on the stage in front of everyone. Gao Yao's heart did not want to do this, but his body failed him; faced with Ye Xiao's overwhelming confidence and aura, he was instantly crushed!

Seeing this, Ye Xiao let out a cold, mocking laugh.

"Is that it?"

The area below the stage was deathly silent. Gao Yao lowered his head in shame, not daring to meet the gazes of those around him.

At this time, Ye Xiao swept his gaze across the surrounding students and spoke coldly.

"Is there anyone else who wants to come up and challenge me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students of Ordinary Class 9 below the stage were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to let out a single breath. They had witnessed with their own eyes how this notorious E-rank "trash" had defeated Zhang Qiang and Wang Lei, and how he had scared Gao Yao into kneeling on the stage with nothing but his aura.

One must know that these three were all C-rank professionals, and all possessed the strength of the second realm! Faced with professional suppression and realm suppression, they had all lost so miserably!

The others were also stunned; who would dare to step onto the stage to challenge Ye Xiao now? Some were secretly watching Ye Xiao, but the moment his gaze shifted toward them, they hurriedly looked away.

Wang Lei was still lying on the ground; although he had mostly recovered, he continued to feign vomiting and pain.

Zhang Qiang sat on the protective mat, his back to Ye Xiao, hands covering his nosebleed, looking very busy.

Gao Yao knelt on the platform, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.

Meanwhile, Teacher Zhou Ming stood below the stage, staring at Ye Xiao's back with a complex expression.

"Ye Xiao, have you trained before?"

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No."

Zhou Ming was somewhat surprised.

"The punches you threw just now showed great talent."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"However, I truly have not trained in boxing."

"It's not that I'm strong, but rather that they are too weak."

Zhou Ming looked at Ye Xiao's "arrogant" demeanor.

Then, he laughed.

"Interesting."

At this moment, the other students on the field.

Each one looked ashen-faced.

Even though Ye Xiao remained this "arrogant."

But the current Ye Xiao already possessed the qualifications for such "arrogance."

Teacher Zhou Ming spoke up.

"Since no one dares to challenge Ye Xiao, then Ye Xiao is declared the successful defender!"

"Ye Xiao receives 10 class resource points!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Many students showed looks of shock.

"Teacher Zhou, yesterday at the Awakening Test Hall, the Dean said that Ye Xiao would only attend class and would not occupy class cultivation resources..."

However, the next second.

Zhou Ming retorted directly.

"Since ancient times, cultivation resources belong to the strong!"

"Of course, if any student is dissatisfied, you can go and challenge Ye Xiao!"

"As long as you can defeat Ye Xiao, you can take these 10 class resource points."

Zhou Ming looked at Ye Xiao: "Ye Xiao, do you have any objections?"

Ye Xiao shook his head: "I have no objections."

However, the final result was that no one dared to speak.

Immediately after.

Zhou Ming continued to arrange for others to defend and challenge.

The injured Wang Lei and Zhang Qiang were sent to the infirmary.

As for Gao Yao, he stayed in a corner, looking dejected.

As for Ye Xiao.

He was called aside by Zhou Ming alone.

"Teacher Zhou, do you need something from me?"

"Ye Xiao, I've noticed that your cultivation method is very different from the other students."

"I suppose so." Ye Xiao nodded.

Zhou Ming said: "Although you are an E-rank profession, I see attributes in you that the other students lack."

"Perhaps, you really have a chance to walk the path of the Martialist, a path everyone looks down upon."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly upon hearing this, indicating he had taken it to heart.

Zhou Ming continued.

"Originally, it would be too early for you to deal with the Gravity Training Tower."

"After all, this is a course that only opens in the third year."

"But I feel that for you, now is the most suitable time to enter the Gravity Training Tower to cultivate."

Gravity Training Tower?

Upon hearing the name of this building, Ye Xiao's face displayed a look of confusion and curiosity.

Teacher Zhou explained, "Gravity Training Tower, as the name suggests, is a place where you will feel immense gravitational pressure upon entering, which is used to achieve training results."

"Inside the Gravity Training Tower, every living being is subjected to uniform gravitational pressure—from bones to blood, from internal organs to the soul, without exception. Spells are suppressed, the circulation of spiritual power slows down, and the physical body bears a tremendous burden."

"This powerful gravitational pressure constantly exerts force on you while you are in a state of extremity, stimulating your blood and qi, and causing the density of your muscles and bones to continuously increase and evolve."

"In the Gravity Training Tower, there are no shortcuts, no techniques, only sheer endurance."

Once Teacher Zhou finished speaking, Ye Xiao had a comprehensive understanding of this so-called "Gravity Training Tower."

"Teacher Zhou, I understand."

"Then how do I enter the Gravity Training Tower?" Ye Xiao asked.

Just then, Teacher Zhou took out a card with a silver, flowing texture.

He handed it to Ye Xiao and said, "This is my Gravity Training Card. It comes with 100 hours of usage time each month; you take it and use it first."

Ye Xiao was slightly stunned, staring at the "Gravity Training Card" which bore the words "Zhou Ming" and "Teacher."

Clearly, Teacher Zhou was giving his own belongings to Ye Xiao to use.

"Teacher Zhou, this doesn't seem right..." Ye Xiao did not take it immediately.

Teacher Zhou smiled and said, "This month is for you freshmen, and as your homeroom teacher, I am very busy with work. Where would I find the time to go to the Gravity Training Tower to train?"

"Besides, the training time on this card refreshes automatically every month. If it isn't used up in time, it won't accumulate for the next month and will simply go to waste."

"Furthermore, you don't think you can actually use up all 100 hours, do you?"

Ye Xiao asked back curiously, "Is the Gravity Training Tower very difficult?"

Teacher Zhou revealed a mysterious smile.

"You'll know once you go there."
