Martial Arts Exchange Meet, Shocking the Entire Venue

More than fifty students from Senior Year Second Class arrived aggressively, each one looking spirited and imposing.

Among the five Elite Classes, First Class had the highest overall strength, with each subsequent class growing progressively weaker.

When Second Class and Third Class met, Third Class seemed to fall slightly short in terms of momentum.

The person who had spoken earlier was Cheng Chi.

His strength ranked within the top ten of Second Class.

Without needing to say it outright, everyone in Third Class knew who Cheng Chi was referring to.

Su Yuan ignored Cheng Chi's words and silently followed the main group from Third Class to the left side of the martial arts training hall.

Seeing this, Cheng Chi's mouth twitched.

"Cheng Chi, forget it. Su Yuan has already fallen that far. Don't keep picking on him."

"Exactly. He doesn't even want to acknowledge you. Why keep mocking him?"

"That happened four months ago. There's no need to keep holding onto it. Besides, didn't Su Yuan apologize already?"

Cheng Chi immediately fell silent and subconsciously clenched his fists.

Standing among the Third Class students, Su Yuan was speechless.

Four months ago, Second Class and Third Class had held a Martial Arts Exchange Meet. Cheng Chi's opponent had been the original Su Yuan.

During their match, the original Su Yuan had failed to pull back in time and accidentally knocked Cheng Chi's pants off, exposing something inappropriate.

Cheng Chi's face had instantly turned crimson, and he had fled in a hurry.

After that incident, Cheng Chi had been utterly humiliated.

Everyone in the entire senior year knew about it.

"Humph!"

Cheng Chi snorted coldly and followed the main group from Second Class to the right side of the martial arts training hall.

Gradually, the surroundings fell silent as a burly middle-aged man entered the martial arts training hall.

"Everyone from Second and Third Class, spread out and begin your warm-ups."

Zhang Yan stood before more than a hundred students with his arms crossed, his gaze sharp.

The pressure he emitted alone rivaled that of everyone standing before him combined.

Zhang Yan was a Third-Realm Peak Martial Artist.

Just one step away from becoming a Fourth-Realm powerhouse who had comprehended Astral Qi.

"It has been a long time since we last held a Martial Arts Exchange Meet. Once the warm-up is over, we fight!"

Zhang Yan walked among the warming-up students, sweeping his gaze over them as he spoke.

At his words, a small number looked dejected, while most were thrilled.

Su Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly. He currently ranked forty-second in the class. It was time to improve his ranking, or perhaps return to the top five.

He wondered how much everyone else had improved over the past two months.

This was also a good opportunity to test the effects brought by Cocoon-Breaking Power.

"Hah."

After finishing his warm-up, Su Yuan's entire body was primed and ready.

He silently opened the panel and checked the martial skill section.

[Martial Skill: Thunderclap Fist (60%)]

The proficiency of Thunderclap Fist had just reached Minor Achievement.

Martial skill and cultivation technique proficiency were divided into: Preliminary Level, Entry Level, Minor Achievement, Great Accomplishment, and Perfection.

After using it for only a short while, the progress of Thunderclap Fist had risen rapidly!

In the past, it would have taken at least ten to twenty days to make this much progress.

Su Yuan's talent and comprehension had clearly improved by a tremendous amount.

After being transformed by Cocoon-Breaking Power, he had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Three minutes later.

"All right. The two classes will stand on opposite sides and leave the middle open as a Battle Space."

"The exchange between Second and Third Class officially begins."

Zhang Yan stood between the two classes. Then, with him as the center, the students of both classes spread outward.

"Who will go first?"

Zhang Yan glanced toward Third Class, signaling for their class to send someone out first.

Just as someone was about to step forward, Su Yuan suddenly beat them to it.

"I'll go."

Under everyone's gaze, Su Yuan quickly walked to the center of the training hall.

Everyone in Third Class was stunned. Su Yuan had really picked martial arts back up!

A few people had remained skeptical during PE class earlier, but upon seeing this scene, no one in Third Class doubted it any longer.

At the entrance to the training hall, a furtive figure quietly appeared.

Li Youfeng poked his head in and secretly watched the scene inside.

He paid especially close attention to Su Yuan.

"What about Second Class?"

Seeing Su Yuan take the field, Zhang Yan revealed a look of surprise.

He then shifted his gaze to Second Class.

"I'll go!"

The moment Cheng Chi saw Su Yuan step out, his eyes lit up.

He then walked expressionlessly toward Su Yuan and faced him.

Watching the two in the center, everyone could not help recalling what had happened four months ago.

They admired Su Yuan, and they also admired Cheng Chi.

One had returned to martial arts, while the other bravely faced his own embarrassment.

"Let me make this clear first. You've neglected training for so long, so I won't hold back."

Cheng Chi stared at Su Yuan, his tone completely devoid of courtesy.

"Bring it on."

That was Su Yuan's only four-word response.

Everyone was puzzled. Su Yuan had not trained for so long, so where did he get the confidence to speak to Cheng Chi like that?

Ever since that incident, Cheng Chi had trained like mad every day, all for the sake of washing away his humiliation.

Last time, he had admitted that he was inferior in skill.

But if he had simply given up after losing, he would not have been able to accept it.

Today, Cheng Chi had only one goal.

Defeat Su Yuan with everything he had.

"Begin."

Zhang Yan stood not far from Su Yuan and Cheng Chi. At this distance, he could intervene instantly and prevent either of them from suffering a critical injury.

The moment his words fell, Cheng Chi burst forward in a sudden dash. His palm turned into a blade and chopped toward Su Yuan's shoulder.

"That speed is so fast!"

Someone from Third Class exclaimed.

Ninety percent of the students from both classes could not even see Cheng Chi's trajectory.

Yet for some reason, in Su Yuan's eyes, Cheng Chi's speed seemed several times slower.

Then Su Yuan merely shifted lightly and dodged the attack.

"Su Yuan actually dodged it? How is he even faster than Cheng Chi?"

A female student from Second Class stared in disbelief before hurriedly covering her mouth and crying out.

Thunderclap Fist.

After dodging Cheng Chi's move, Su Yuan moved like lightning and swung a sideways punch, smashing it hard into Cheng Chi!

In an instant, a series of crackling sounds rang out from Cheng Chi's body.

The punch landed on him, causing his eyes to widen abruptly before his body flew backward out of control.

Before Cheng Chi could fly very far, Zhang Yan moved, his body turning into an afterimage as he vanished from where he stood.

In the next moment, Zhang Yan appeared and caught Cheng Chi with both hands, landing lightly on the ground.

The instant he landed, there was not the slightest sound.

"Gulp."

Students from both classes swallowed hard.

"What was that? Cheng Chi got instantly defeated by Su Yuan in one move?"

"Fuck, hasn't Su Yuan not trained lately? I see him wandering around the track every day."

"Why is their gap even bigger than it was four months ago? Cheng Chi could at least hold on for a long time last time. How did he get instantly defeated this time?"

The students of Second Class were all dumbstruck, while the students of Third Class were even more stunned.

They spent nearly ten hours with Su Yuan every day and knew very well what he did each day.

Don't tell them Su Yuan's brisk walks around the track every day were some kind of martial arts training.

Absurd. Utterly absurd.

Li Xingyu and the other two looked wary. Su Yuan had picked martial arts back up, and he seemed even more terrifying now.

"It is almost certain. Su Yuan spent the past two months in Heart Cultivation!"

Li Youfeng stood outside the training hall and watched everything unfold, his eyes shining repeatedly.

"A Heart-Nurturing Realm genius was actually born at our Qianshan No. 2 High School."

"I wonder if Teacher Zhang Yan has realized this yet. I need to remind him."

After muttering inwardly for a while, Li Youfeng silently left.

At that moment, Zhang Yan slowly set the unconscious Cheng Chi down and swept a strange look toward Su Yuan.

"Su Yuan, did you hold back just now?"
