Again? The Third Slot

Zhuang Hanyin, Blood Qi Value 90.6.

Even Li Xingyu might not be able to beat him.

Su Yuan had run into this opponent, and most people were not optimistic about him, privately thinking his luck was terrible.

The gap in their Blood Qi Values was too great. There was no comparison.

It had only just begun, yet Third Class was about to lose two people.

The martial arts teachers of Fifth Class and Fourth Class both looked toward Zhang Yan.

Their gazes seemed to say that Third Class's luck was truly awful today.

Either they fought their own people, or they encountered an unbeatable opponent.

Some students from Second Class were secretly snickering as well, delighted by their misfortune.

You could instantly defeat Cheng Chi, but could you instantly defeat Zhuang Hanyin too?

Cheng Chi and Zhuang Hanyin were not opponents on the same level.

Over on Third Class's side, Li Xingyu and the other two also looked helpless. Why had Su Yuan run into Zhuang Hanyin?

Zhuang Hanyin was a student with an excellent chance of entering the Joint Key Class.

"Su Yuan, just do your best. Don't get hurt."

Before Su Yuan went up, Li Xingyu gave him a reminder.

"Don't worry, Class Monitor. I won't get hurt."

Su Yuan replied, leaving Li Xingyu utterly confused.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Yuan stood opposite Zhuang Hanyin.

"Su Yuan, right? Beating Cheng Chi proves you've got some skill, but only a little."

Zhuang Hanyin showed Su Yuan no courtesy from the moment he opened his mouth.

The moment those words landed, Cheng Chi and Qin Ming felt incredibly satisfied.

Keep talking. Hopefully you'll still be able to say that to Su Yuan later.

Perhaps later, you won't even have a chance to speak.

Cheng Chi and Qin Ming had disliked Zhuang Hanyin for a long time. Other than Lin Jie, he looked down on everyone in the class.

That arrogant bearing was worlds apart from Lin Jie's modesty and calmness.

Yet there were quite a few people in the class who followed Zhuang Hanyin.

Thus, Second Class had unknowingly split into two factions.

Lin Jie's faction and Zhuang Hanyin's faction divided Second Class between them.

"Begin."

Zheng Si glanced at Su Yuan and Zhuang Hanyin, then fixed his gaze on Su Yuan.

As Second Class's martial arts teacher, he had long heard of Su Yuan's name.

The story of a genius suddenly falling from grace before making a comeback was something he had only seen in novels.

Zheng Si had never even heard of such an absurd thing happening in real life.

Second Class and Third Class were close, so the two classes naturally knew the details of each other's students well.

Yet Zheng Si simply could not understand how Su Yuan had managed to instantly defeat Cheng Chi.

He had been away on business during the Martial Arts Exchange Meet between Second Class and Third Class that day, missing the fight between Su Yuan and Cheng Chi.

Now that Su Yuan was fighting Zhuang Hanyin, he had to observe Su Yuan closely.

As for Jiang Huaisheng, he had sat off to the side with his eyes closed in thought ever since Zheng Si took over.

Fang Yan and Leng Xin also found it rather boring and sat on the benches playing games on their phones.

There was no chance for them to step in. To them, this contest for Joint Key Class slots was merely a formality.

Bang!

A thunderous crash suddenly erupted. Jiang Huaisheng, who had been deep in thought, instantly opened his eyes. A sharp gleam flashed through his clouded gaze as he turned to look in Su Yuan's direction.

Fang Yan and Leng Xin had been gaming together, but they too could not help turning their attention toward Su Yuan.

By the training room wall, Zhuang Hanyin had collapsed on the ground, his eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness.

"Damn."

Zheng Si was dumbfounded. The next moment, he rushed over to Zhuang Hanyin, crouched down, and gave him a Basic Recovery Liquid.

Aside from the few teachers, none of the students present had reacted to what had happened.

When the fight began, Su Yuan had merely swung his right fist forward, and Zhuang Hanyin's body had flown backward at high speed.

By the time they came to their senses, Zhuang Hanyin had already crashed to the ground unconscious.

"Doesn't this scene look familiar?"

Someone from Second Class looked around in a daze, searching for something.

Immediately, everyone in Second Class turned to look at Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi did not feel the slightest embarrassment. Instead, he looked completely refreshed, as though a secret he had held in for a long time had finally been released.

You've finally seen Su Yuan's true strength. It wasn't for nothing that I kept it bottled up for so long.

Qin Ming was the same. While everyone else was shocked by Su Yuan's strength, he felt an inexplicable thrill from knowing something they did not.

"Zhuang Hanyin lost?"

"Just like Cheng Chi, he was instantly defeated by Su Yuan?"

Third Class had already exploded into an uproar.

Li Xingyu, Liu Simeng, and Zhang Hengqi were completely stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

On the other side, Fifth Class's martial arts teacher and Fourth Class's martial arts teacher stared open-mouthed at Zhang Yan.

"Teacher Zhang, Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value is so low, yet his strength and speed are completely beyond what should be possible at this stage."

"If I'm not mistaken, Su Yuan's Thunderclap Fist should be at the level of Great Accomplishment."

"Gasp! This kid has attained quite a high level in martial arts techniques!"

Yu Yi and Lu Ming looked at Zhang Yan with envy. Even with their discerning eyes, they had misjudged him.

"Hehe, this is all the result of Su Yuan's hard work."

At that moment, Jiang Huaisheng suddenly moved. With lightning speed, he arrived before Su Yuan and stared at him intently.

"Kid, you're Su Yuan?"

"Greetings, Teacher Jiang. My name is Su Yuan."

Seeing Jiang Huaisheng standing before him, Su Yuan showed no sign of panic. Instead, he remained calm and composed.

"All right. You don't need to participate in the remaining contest for Joint Key Class slots."

"I hereby announce that Su Yuan has obtained the third slot."

After saying that, Jiang Huaisheng returned to his seat and sat quietly.

"Huh? Su Yuan's luck is way too good. He only fought once and got a Joint Key Class slot."

"No, which eye of yours saw that Su Yuan was lucky? He instantly defeated Zhuang Hanyin with one punch. You call that luck?"

"I'm numb. With Su Yuan taking a slot, there are only seven left."

"That said, Su Yuan's strength is a little too outrageous. His Blood Qi Value looks lower than Zhuang Hanyin's, yet he instantly defeated him. Is Su Yuan too strong, or is Zhuang Hanyin too weak?"

That was said by a student from First Class.

After Su Yuan returned to Third Class's group, the others instinctively kept a certain distance from him.

It could not be helped. Su Yuan was simply too conspicuous now.

So many people had their eyes on him.

Envy, jealousy, admiration, and more.

All kinds of gazes fell upon Su Yuan.

"This kid is incredible. He may well be the next Fang Yan."

Having finally witnessed Su Yuan's strength firsthand, Zheng Si did not feel dejected over Zhuang Hanyin's defeat.

That kid Zhuang Hanyin would never lower his head unless he crashed into an iron wall.

After this battle, Zheng Si hoped Zhuang Hanyin would understand that there was always someone stronger.

In a corner, Zhuang Hanyin slowly woke after drinking the Basic Recovery Liquid.

"What happened to me? Why did I suddenly pass out?"

"Wasn't I fighting that guy just now? Why am I lying in the corner?"

Zhuang Hanyin looked utterly confused, as though his mind had crashed.

The next moment, he hurriedly searched the crowd of students for Su Yuan.

As though sensing Zhuang Hanyin's gaze, Su Yuan immediately turned and looked at him expressionlessly.

In an instant, a feeling of dread surged through Zhuang Hanyin's heart. Only then did he come to his senses and say bitterly,

"I... actually lost to Su Yuan."

Noticing Zhuang Hanyin's mood, Su Yuan stopped looking at him.

I didn't use Thunderclap Fist just now. I instantly defeated Zhuang Hanyin with pure physical strength alone.

When will I finally be able to fight with all my strength?

Su Yuan longed for a truly exhilarating battle, but such opportunities were too few.
