Is Su Yuan a Genius?

"Who?"

Huang Yi'an's face immediately darkened when he saw someone actually dare to call him stupid.

"What, you don't recognize me?"

A cold-faced man appeared in the space.

As the man appeared, a faint blood mist lingered in the air above.

"Pei Xuan."

After seeing the newcomer's face clearly, Huang Yi'an's expression grew even darker.

"Teacher Pei, you're back!"

Wang Zheng and Zhao Xinxuan were both stunned. Pei Xuan's sudden return undoubtedly dealt a tremendous blow to them.

Suddenly, Wang Zheng realized something and immediately looked up.

Seeing the blood-colored shadow above that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, Wang Zheng cried out.

"You broke through to Fourth-Realm High Tier?"

"Yes." A flash of crimson flickered in Pei Xuan's eyes as he looked directly at Wang Zheng.

Huang Yi'an's body trembled almost imperceptibly when he heard the words Fourth-Realm High Tier.

It was over. Pei Xuan had broken through to Fourth-Realm High Tier, so their faction would have even less say.

Pei Xuan and Wang Zheng both belonged to Vice Principal Zhou Yang's faction. Four months ago, Pei Xuan had accepted a mission to deal with a Beast Tide elsewhere and temporarily left the school.

His strength had originally been the greatest in Zhou Yang's faction.

However, because of issues with his breathing technique, his cultivation progress had been slow, allowing Wang Zheng to break through to Fourth-Realm High Tier first.

Now that Pei Xuan had also broken through to Fourth-Realm High Tier, the strongest person in Zhou Yang's faction was likely about to change.

Pei Xuan's breathing technique was rather unique and required the Blood Qi of mutated beasts for cultivation, so he was often away from school, frequently taking side jobs dealing with Beast Tides.

At the same time, his combat strength was unquestionably among the strongest of those in the same realm.

When Wang Zheng and Pei Xuan had been in the same realm, Wang Zheng could not last a hundred moves against him.

Now that they were once again in the same realm, and Pei Xuan's breathing technique seemed to have improved as well—

Wang Zheng was probably no match for Pei Xuan anymore.

"By Vice Principal Zhou Yang's appointment, from this moment onward, I will serve as the homeroom teacher of Qianshan Class."

"You have no objections, do you?"

Pei Xuan stared at Wang Zheng, Zhao Xinxuan, and Huang Yi'an as a suffocating pressure bore down upon the three of them.

"No objections."

The three spoke in unison.

Wang Zheng felt like crying. He had finally surpassed Pei Xuan in strength for a brief period, only to be overtaken again.

Fortunately, they were in the same camp. The ones who should be troubled were not them.

Huang Yi'an felt uncomfortable all over at this moment.

When Pei Xuan released his aura earlier, more than half of it had been directed at him, making it hard for him to breathe. He felt as though his head might fall off the next second.

Su Yuan and the others were greatly surprised as they watched everything unfold.

They had only seen Pei Xuan that morning, yet they saw him again that afternoon—and he had even become Qianshan Class's homeroom teacher.

What surprised them even more was that Pei Xuan was actually so strong.

Yet when facing Director Yuan, he had not revealed any of his sharpness.

All they could say was that one rank higher in office could crush a person to death.

"Since that is settled, let us deal with Su Yuan's matter."

"Huang Yi'an, your stupidity is beyond cure."

"Do you not know what happens when you inject Astral Qi into the body of an Uninitiated Martial Artist?"

"Su Yuan is a genius-level talent, yet this is how you treat him?"

"You are supposedly a gold-medal teacher. Do not tarnish the words 'gold medal.'"

Pei Xuan showed no mercy, making Huang Yi'an's face flush slightly red.

"Teacher Pei, where exactly do you see that Su Yuan is a genius-level talent?"

"With a mere Blood Qi Value of 78.5, he does not even have half of Ye Ling's Blood Qi. Is he worthy?"

Pei Xuan laughed in anger. It seemed that unless he gave Huang Yi'an a proper shock, the man would not let this go.

Then Pei Xuan's gaze instantly locked onto the students from Qianshan No. 1 High School.

"Bai Zhenhao."

"Do you think Su Yuan is a genius?"

When Bai Zhenhao heard Pei Xuan call his name, his body suddenly shuddered.

He had only been watching the drama, yet it had somehow landed on his head.

Pei Xuan looked directly at Bai Zhenhao with a gaze full of pressure. Bai Zhenhao only felt overwhelming strain as cold sweat quietly rolled down his forehead.

The other Qianshan No. 1 High School students nearby looked confused. Why would Teacher Pei ask Bai Zhenhao something like that?

"I..."

"I think Su Yuan is a genius-level talent."

Once Bai Zhenhao finished speaking, he felt as if all the strength had drained from his body.

On the other side, Huang Yi'an looked utterly incredulous. Bai Zhenhao was a student from his faction, so how could he acknowledge such an absurd claim?

A genius with a Blood Qi Value of 78.5?

Then what were those with Blood Qi Values above one hundred?

Monsters?

"What do you all think?"

Pei Xuan slowly shifted his gaze toward the students from Second High School.

"Su Yuan is a genius."

"Is there even any need to say it? Su Yuan is definitely a genius."

"Exactly. Although Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value is not high, his combat strength is extremely powerful."

Lin Jie, Li Xingyu, and the others nodded like pecking chickens and spoke one after another.

The Qianshan No. 1 High School students were all dumbfounded, secretly wondering whether the world was about to end.

Why was everyone spouting nonsense?

Only Bai Zhenhao felt a tangled mess of emotions, bitter beyond words.

At this moment, Ye Ling and Chu Tianche, who had been watching the show, could not help but laugh. Even lying through one's teeth had to have limits.

They could not just fabricate facts because of Teacher Pei's verbal pressure.

Huang Yi'an's expression grew uglier and uglier. His faction had never gotten along with Wang Zheng and Pei Xuan's faction.

He seriously suspected that Pei Xuan was deliberately making things difficult for him over Su Yuan's matter.

That useless Bai Zhenhao had no backbone at all. Wasn't he slapping Huang Yi'an across the face on the spot?

Suddenly, Huang Yi'an's gaze locked onto a student among the Qianshan No. 1 High School crowd.

Sensing Huang Yi'an's gaze, Wu Yanming nodded.

"Since everyone says Su Yuan is a genius, why not settle it with a test?"

Wu Yanming stepped out from the crowd, approached the four teachers, and spoke politely.

"It is very simple."

"Since Su Yuan is a genius, he should be able to produce at least 600 kilograms of force with a Blood Qi Value of 78.5, right?"

"Let us use punching force as the standard to determine whether Su Yuan is a genius. What do the teachers think?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenhao could not help cursing Wu Yanming as an idiot in his heart.

Wasn't this exactly what Su Yuan wanted?

Su Yuan had been able to force him back. His strength was definitely above 800 kilograms!

That idiot did not know to set the punching force higher. What the hell was 600 kilograms?

Bai Zhenhao kept cursing Wu Yanming for being a stupid teammate.

Upon hearing the requirement of 600 kilograms of punching force, everyone, including Lin Jie, revealed excited expressions.

No one had forgotten the scene of Su Yuan knocking Bai Zhenhao back.

In the end, they had all underestimated Su Yuan.

Normally, a Blood Qi Value of 78.5 corresponded to a punching force of around 300 kilograms.

With slightly stronger talent, one could reach 400 or even 500 kilograms.

To reach 600 kilograms required extremely strong talent.

At Qianshan No. 1 High School, very few could achieve that.

Only Chu Tianche and Ye Ling met that condition.

In Wu Yanming's eyes, genius-level talents had to be like Ye Ling and Chu Tianche, which was why he proposed 600 kilograms of punching force.

"Agreed."

Pei Xuan agreed to Wu Yanming's suggestion without the slightest hesitation.

Wang Zheng was shocked by Pei Xuan's confidence. After giving him a deep look, he also said, "Agreed."

Huang Yi'an secretly praised Wu Yanming for doing well and quickly followed with, "Agreed."

Zhao Xinxuan looked at the three of them and could only agree in the end.

"Student Su Yuan, please."

Pei Xuan watched Su Yuan with a smile, returning to the expression he had worn when he met Su Yuan and the others that morning.

"Alright."

Su Yuan politely nodded to Pei Xuan and quickly stood before the punching-force testing machine.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, aside from Bai Zhenhao, who could not bear to look, everyone's gaze gathered on Su Yuan.

Bang!

Accompanied by a faint rumble of thunder amid flashes of electricity.

The punching-force testing machine displayed—

"699 kg!"
