After resting at home for a day, Wang Tianyu set off for the Martial Arts Building again.
Wang Tianyu had spent that day at home very fully.
Wang Tianyu knew that, as he embarked on the path of martial arts cultivation,
the time he could spend reunited with his family would only grow less and less.
So, Wang Tianyu cherished these days when he could still be together with his family.
Standing at the entrance of the Martial Arts Building, Wang Tianyu began thinking about today's match.
Even now, Wang Tianyu still did not know who his opponent was.
He did not even know whether his opponent was male or female, much less how strong they were.
After collecting himself, Wang Tianyu put an end to his wild thoughts.
"Tianyu, go for it! Beat the other guy until he cries! You'll definitely win."
It was Chen Yongguo cheering Wang Tianyu on. As Wang Tianyu's good friend, Chen Yongguo had not the slightest doubt that Wang Tianyu would win.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll beat the other guy until he cries later!"
Hearing Chen Yongguo's words, Wang Tianyu also put away some of his nervousness.
It was impossible for Wang Tianyu not to be nervous at all.
Su Pengfei had chosen Wang Tianyu to fight because Wang Tianyu was the strongest student in his Martial Arts Class.
By the same logic, Gao Bin would certainly send out the strongest person in his class as well.
For the sake of victory, Su Pengfei had given Wang Tianyu extra training for so many days, racking his brains to improve Wang Tianyu's strength.
Gao Bin, who had made this wager with Su Pengfei, could not possibly have failed to think of that. Whatever Su Pengfei could do, Gao Bin could do too.
Therefore, Wang Tianyu's opponent today definitely would not be weak.
But defeating his opponent, obtaining the Energy Stone, and testing whether the Energy Stone was related to the system were things Wang Tianyu had to do.
No matter who my opponent is, I have to get that Energy Stone!
As a building for martial artists to train in, it naturally did not lack places for sparring.
"Su Pengfei, did you bring your Energy Stones? Take a good look at them. Soon, they won't belong to you anymore."
Gao Bin's tone was full of confidence, as though victory was already in his grasp.
Seeing Gao Bin's manner, Su Pengfei frowned.
Su Pengfei had no intention of losing to Gao Bin in terms of momentum.
"Of course I brought them. But I don't think you have what it takes to take them away. As for the Energy Stones on you, you'd better keep them safe for me. If you damage my Energy Stones, you'll have to compensate me."
Su Pengfei and Gao Bin were locked in a head-on clash, neither intending to lose to the other verbally.
Hearing Su Pengfei's words, Gao Bin merely smiled.
"There's no use talking about this. Let's see the real thing with our fists."
After saying that, Gao Bin began whispering to a male student behind him.
From the moment he entered, Wang Tianyu had been watching Gao Bin and his group.
Seeing Gao Bin's actions, Wang Tianyu finally learned who his opponent was.
Wang Tianyu's opponent was a very sturdy-looking boy.
The boy was not particularly tall. At a glance, he looked to be only around 1.8 meters tall.
Although he was not tall, his build was extremely muscular.
The athletic top on his upper body was stretched taut, unable to conceal the muscles beneath it at all.
His bulging muscles made him look highly intimidating.
"Your opponent is definitely him. One look tells you he's the strength type. Be careful. If you can't match his strength, use movement to deal with him."
Su Pengfei was observing the other side as well. When he saw Wang Tianyu's upcoming opponent, he spoke up to remind him.
Wang Tianyu nodded at Su Pengfei. "Alright, I understand."
After saying that, Wang Tianyu walked onto the arena in the center.
This arena was where Wang Tianyu would be fighting shortly.
The circular arena was not large, covering only about seventy-seven square meters.
The arena was not level with the ground, standing around ninety centimeters above it.
There were no protective measures on the arena. It was made entirely of composite materials built to withstand force.
The moment Wang Tianyu stepped onto the arena, his opponent leaped up as well.
"Hey, over there, what's your name? I'm Huang Lei."
After the burly boy jumped onto the arena, he first greeted Wang Tianyu.
"My name is Wang Tianyu."
Since the match had not begun yet, Wang Tianyu did not mind chatting with Huang Lei for a moment.
"Wang Tianyu, let me tell you this: don't force yourself later. If you can't handle it, just admit defeat. If I fail to hold back my strength and break one of those skinny arms or legs of yours, your martial arts entrance exam afterward will be hard to manage."
Huang Lei looked honest and simple, and his words seemed well-intentioned too.
But Wang Tianyu would not let a single sentence like that shake his resolve.
Whether Huang Lei meant it sincerely or falsely, Wang Tianyu would still fight with everything he had to win.
So, Wang Tianyu waved a hand and said, "I'll give it my all. You don't need to hold back either."
As the most formal battle he had faced since beginning martial arts cultivation, Wang Tianyu wanted to properly experience this fight.
Since Huang Lei had been sent by Gao Bin to take part in the match, his strength certainly would not be weak.
Martial artists placed great importance on actual combat. Wang Tianyu planned to use this match against Huang Lei to test his own practical combat level.
"Su Pengfei, both our chosen fighters are up there. Let's settle the rules for this match."
As Wang Tianyu and Huang Lei spoke, Gao Bin looked toward Su Pengfei.
"Alright. Whoever falls down or falls off the arena loses."
After considering it, Su Pengfei set a rule for a sparring match that stopped short of serious harm.
Wang Tianyu and the others were not martial artists yet, so some of the rules for martial artists' battles did not suit them.
If Su Pengfei himself were fighting Gao Bin, then he would not take such things into consideration.
But as seeds of martial artists, Wang Tianyu and the others clearly could not follow the rules used when martial artists fought each other.
"Fine, that's how we'll do it!"
Gao Bin nodded. The rules Su Pengfei had set were exactly to his liking.
Gao Bin and Su Pengfei were merely the instructors who had introduced these Martial Arts Class students to the path. They could not make Wang Tianyu and the others fight to the death.
If Wang Tianyu and the others truly suffered some serious problem because of Su Pengfei and Gao Bin's selfish motives,
then Su Pengfei and Gao Bin would pay a heavy price as well.
"You may begin."
As Su Pengfei and Gao Bin's discussion ended, the match officially began.
"Tianyu, go for it! Knock down that big brute."
Before Wang Tianyu and the others had even exchanged blows, Chen Yongguo's cheer rang out first.
With Chen Yongguo taking the lead, both sides immediately began cheering for their own representatives.
Su Pengfei and Gao Bin had both brought all their students to watch, so several dozen people were watching inside the venue.
Although this match did not have much to do with the others,
these hot-blooded young Martial Arts Class students still had a strong sense of collective honor.
"Huang Lei, that kid across from you has thighs thinner than your arms. You can knock him down with one punch. Go for it!"
Huang Lei's classmates naturally did not choose to remain silent. Their cheers also rang out.
"Wang Tianyu, go for it! You absolutely can't lose to that stupid big guy over there! Go! Go!"
"Huang Lei, end the fight with one punch! Show them what real strength is!"
With so many people shouting slogans, the entire venue became extremely noisy.
But this noise clearly could not affect Wang Tianyu and Huang Lei.
"Come on, let me see what you're made of."
After saying that, Huang Lei took the initiative and threw a punch at Wang Tianyu.
Seeing this, cries of Huang Lei's name immediately rose from below the arena.
"Huang Lei! Huang Lei! Huang Lei!"
Wang Tianyu's classmates obviously would not just watch the other side show off, and immediately shouted back.
"Wang Tianyu! Wang Tianyu! Wang Tianyu!"
Though the people below the arena could not fight directly, they all wanted to overwhelm the other side with their voices.
