Ye Xiao stood up.

Everyone thought he was about to make a move.

But he simply... walked toward the podium.

Ye Xiao's aura was formidable.

Even though his current strength was inferior to everyone else's.

Yet, this powerful self-confidence surging from the depths of his heart.

Did not lose to anyone!

This was the spirit of a youth!

And it was the fearless Heart of Extreme Martial!

As he passed by Lin Yun, Lin Yun subconsciously took a step back.

Then, realizing he had retreated, his expression turned incredibly ugly.

Ye Xiao walked to the front of the podium and looked at Chai Hongxi.

Chai Hongxi looked back at him.

Ye Xiao asked:

"Teacher, you just said that for three thousand years, no Martialist has been able to reach the Seventh Realm. Why?"

Chai Hongxi was silent for a moment, then said:

"Because the cultivation techniques were lost. The Extreme Martial Sect, once the most prosperous and powerful Martialist sect, was wiped out, and all their records were burned."

"With no bloodline heritage passed down, the Martialist profession naturally declined, falling to the lowest E-rank profession."

Ye Xiao asked:

"Why were they wiped out?"

Chai Hongxi remained silent for even longer.

This question seemed to touch upon some untouchable secrets.

Finally.

Chai Hongxi answered with four words.

"That is not important."

Ye Xiao looked at him, and suddenly smiled as if he understood everything.

He nodded:

"Understood."

Ye Xiao turned around and walked toward the door.

"Wait."

A voice rang out.

It was soft, but everyone heard it.

Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks.

He turned back.

In the first row of the Genius Class, someone stood up.

It was a girl.

Sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, landing on her as if gilding her with a golden edge.

It was beyond everyone's expectations.

No one had anticipated this.

At a time like this, Su Muyun would actually take the initiative to stand up and speak.

And.

She was speaking up for Ye Xiao, that E-rank trash?

She looked at Ye Xiao, her gaze calm.

Then, she looked at Lin Yun and said.

"You just said that Martialists have no future. Then let me ask you, tens of thousands of years ago, when the Nameless Ancestor of the Extreme Martial Sect punched back the army of Demonic Beasts, what were your ancestors doing?"

The classroom suddenly went quiet.

Lin Yun's smile froze on his face.

Chai Hongxi's pupils on the podium also trembled violently.

Because he was incredibly shocked.

Secrets of this level were actually spoken so casually by the girl before him!

What shocked Chai Hongxi even more was this.

He had received absolutely no prior notice regarding this girl's enrollment.

From the girl's words just now.

Chai Hongxi could guess that the background behind her was undoubtedly astonishing.

But for such a secretive and low-profile enrollment.

What could possibly be the reason?

Su Muyun continued:

"According to records, about one hundred thousand years ago, the Demonic Beast invasion caused the human defense lines to collapse. It was the Nameless Ancestor of the Extreme Martial Sect who, with one man and one fist, punched through the rift and sealed the Demonic Beast for ninety thousand years!"

She paused for a moment:

"At that time, what were the ancestors of the Thunder Arts Clan doing?"

Lin Yun's expression turned very ugly.

Su Muyun did not stop:

"The ancestors of the Thunder Arts Clan were surrendering to the Demonic Beast! They knelt on the ground, begging the Demonic Beast to spare their lives!"

"They wanted to betray humanity in exchange for the right to establish a puppet human regime under the Devil Race!"

The entire room erupted in an uproar.

Lin Yun's face flushed red: "You're spouting nonsense!"

"Can you provide evidence for what you're saying?"

"As a member of the Thunder Arts Clan, how could I have absolutely no knowledge of this?"

Su Muyun looked at him, her eyes terrifyingly calm:

"Of course you wouldn't know. This is the most shameful history of the Thunder Arts Clan; how would they ever dare to expose it?"

"If you are skeptical, you can ask the teacher."

Everyone's gaze turned toward Chai Hongxi.

After a long silence, facing the students' inquisitive eyes.

Chai Hongxi did not speak, merely nodding slightly.

Lin Yun opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.

Su Muyun turned to the girl who had said "Martialists have no spells or artifacts":

"You said Martialists have no spells or artifacts and can only fight with their bare hands. Then do you know what spell or artifact the Nameless Ancestor used for that punch that shattered the rift?"

The girl was stunned.

She was speechless, unable to say a single word.

Su Muyun said:

"Nothing at all. It was just a punch."

She scanned the room:

"Do you know what level that punch's power would be equivalent to today?"

No one answered.

She said:

"It is equivalent to... the Fourteenth Realm!"

The room fell into a deathly silence.

"So," she looked at Lin Yun, "you just said that Martialists have no future and that the strongest Martialist in history only reached the Seventh Realm?"

Lin Yun's face turned deathly pale.

His mind was filled with the words "Fourteenth Realm" swirling around.

Su Muyun's tone was light, yet remarkably firm.

"That is because, for three thousand years, no one has been able to walk the path of the Martialist to its end. It is not because the path of the Martialist is a dead end!"

When these final words.

Were spoken from Su Muyun's lips.

Every student in the classroom fell into an extreme silence.

Each person wore a complex expression, their thoughts unknown.

But at this moment.

Ye Xiao's gaze and attention were completely captivated by this young girl.

Just then.

Su Muyun left her seat and walked in the direction of Ye Xiao.

Everyone's gaze followed her.

She walked up to Ye Xiao and stopped.

The two were less than a meter apart.

Sunlight slanted in through the window, falling on the floor between them.

She looked at him, and he looked at her.

She said, "My name is Su Muyun."

Ye Xiao nodded. "Ye Xiao."

She said, "I know."

Then, she reached out her hand.

In her hand was a book.

It was a very old book with a tattered cover, on which a few faded characters were vaguely visible:

Law-Breaking Fist

Ye Xiao was stunned.

He looked at the item Su Muyun was offering, his pupils slightly constricting.

He was very familiar with this thing.

Because for Ye Xiao to break through to the next major realm, the prerequisite was to complete a "Law-Breaking Fist"!

This Law-Breaking Fist presented by the girl before him

was, for Ye Xiao at this moment, undoubtedly a timely gift in a snowstorm!

Su Muyun said:

"This was passed down by my ancestors. It contains some... insights regarding the cultivation of a Martialist."

She pushed the book forward:

"I think you should take a look."

Ye Xiao did not take it.

He looked at her and asked, "Why give it to me?"

Su Muyun thought for a moment and said, "Because just now, when you stood up to answer the question, you said four words."

"What?"

"No disadvantage."

She smiled—it was the first time she had smiled today; it was a faint smile, but very beautiful:

"In three thousand years, no one has dared to say those four words."

"You are the first."

Ye Xiao was silent for a moment.

Then, he reached out and took the book.

The moment their fingertips touched, he felt that her hand was as cold as jade.

She also felt his warmth.

Their gazes met in the air.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun, who had witnessed the entire process from the side, had a face so dark it could not get any darker; he was so angry he nearly ground his teeth to pieces!

Especially when he saw with his own eyes

Su Muyun giving the book to Ye Xiao, and the moment their fingertips touched, the nameless fire in his heart burned fiercely.
