First-Realm Martial Artist! Conditions for Unlocking Talent Two

The next morning.

Su Yuan got up at about the same time as yesterday. He glanced at the Sonic Gun beside his bed, washed up, and headed out.

The Sonic Gun was inconvenient to carry, and Su Yuan had no intention of bringing it to the basement of Qianshan No. 1 High School.

If he brought the Sonic Gun into No. 39 Secret Realm, the training would lose its meaning.

Every exotic beast would be killed with a single shot. That would be pretty boring.

By the time he arrived at the basement of Qianshan No. 1 High School, it was already 6:52.

At 6:55, all thirty students of Qianshan Class had arrived.

"Today, the top ten rankings will be reset."

Pei Xuan swept his gaze across the row of students before him.

Su Yuan, Ye Ling, and the other ten had been placed by Pei Xuan in the front row.

Hearing Teacher Pei announce a new ranking as soon as he arrived, the twenty others who had not entered the Secret Realm were somewhat surprised, aside from Su Yuan and the other ten.

"Tenth place: Fang Yan."

"Ninth place: Xu Li."

"Eighth place: Li Yongxin."

"Seventh place: Yu Linglan."

"Sixth place: Xue Jun."

When Xue Jun heard his name, he was rather surprised.

Yesterday, he had killed five exotic beasts with Blood Qi Values of around 110, yet his ranking had not changed at all?

"Fifth place: Ding Kun."

Hearing that he had dropped one place, Ding Kun could not help scratching his head, his expression equally surprised.

"Fourth place: Leng Xin."

Immediately, Leng Xin, Chu Tianche, and the others wore strange expressions. Leng Xin glanced at Su Yuan.

But after looking at him, she said nothing and silently withdrew her gaze.

"Third place: Chu Tianche."

In an instant.

Everyone except Ye Ling looked confused, their faces full of doubt.

"Teacher Pei, did you read that wrong?"

Chu Tianche was dumbfounded. How had he fallen to third place?

Yesterday, he had killed seven or eight exotic beasts with Blood Qi Values of around 120. How had such an achievement caused him to drop a rank instead?

Su Yuan's name had yet to be called by Teacher Pei. Was his ranking actually above Chu Tianche's?

Chu Tianche could not accept it.

Ye Ling remained unmoved, as though nothing mattered as long as Su Yuan did not rank above him.

Behind Pei Xuan, Wang Zheng and the other two teachers also wondered whether Pei Xuan had made a mistake.

Su Yuan had not carried the slightest killing intent yesterday. The exotic beast bloodstains on him might have been smeared on from somewhere else.

Was Teacher Pei really placing him in the top two based on that alone?

That seemed a little too hasty.

"That's right. You are indeed in third place."

"Chu Tianche."

Pei Xuan glanced at Chu Tianche, looking utterly innocent.

"I..."

Chu Tianche had wanted to argue with Pei Xuan, but when he met Pei Xuan's emotionless eyes, he forcibly swallowed his words.

"Second place: Su Yuan."

"First place: Ye Ling."

Once Pei Xuan finished announcing the revised rankings, the entire place fell silent.

Lin Jie, Li Xingyu, and the others also looked utterly incredulous. What exactly had Su Yuan done in No. 39 Secret Realm yesterday?

What earth-shattering feat had he accomplished for Teacher Pei to come up with such rankings?

"My rankings are fair and impartial."

"I will not accept any objections."

"If you want to object, show me your performance during class. I have my own judgment."

"Alright, warm up."

After speaking, Pei Xuan signaled for the thirty students to place their belongings on the storage racks to the side.

The warm-up exercises proceeded quickly. After two days of adapting, most of them had improved.

It took a total of thirty-nine minutes for everyone to complete the warm-up exercises.

Su Yuan was the third to finish. Once he came out, he looked at his updated panel.

[Realm: 100.1 Blood Qi (First-Realm Martial Artist)]

Seeing his Blood Qi Value break into triple digits, Su Yuan was overwhelmed with excitement.

He had finally entered the ranks of First-Realm Martial Artists!

The five rounds of warm-up exercises had added 1.4 points to Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value.

At the same time, there was finally movement in the talent section!

[Talent Two: Orange War God's Heart]

[Condition to unlock talent: Frog jump one thousand kilometers (0 km/1000 km)]

Staring at the talent section, Su Yuan's mouth twitched wildly.

So the unlock requirements had it out for his legs now?

What the hell were frog jumps? The system was getting more and more absurd.

Whatever. He already looked abnormal in everyone else's eyes anyway, so frog jumps it was.

After the warm-up ended, under Pei Xuan's watchful gaze, Su Yuan and the others formed groups of ten and began sparring with the three teachers.

At 12:20 in the afternoon, all thirty students ended their two sparring sessions completely exhausted.

Each sparring session lasted around two hours, with a twenty-minute break in between.

Su Yuan still sparred with Huang Yi'an. Huang Yi'an discovered that Su Yuan had lasted far longer today than yesterday.

As Huang Yi'an sparred with Su Yuan, he became increasingly shocked. Compared to yesterday, Su Yuan was practically a different person.

With such terrifying growth speed, no wonder Pei Xuan had ranked Su Yuan second.

That was simply monstrous.

No, he had to find an opportunity to knock Su Yuan down a peg.

Huang Yi'an stood behind Pei Xuan with his eyes lowered, clearly plotting something.

"Rest for twenty minutes, then continue with the afternoon lessons."

Su Yuan still went to the cafeteria at Qianshan No. 1 High School for lunch. Not long after he returned, they began paired sparring practice.

"Su Yuan, let's spar!"

Just as Lin Jie was about to approach Su Yuan, Chu Tianche shoved Lin Jie aside and spoke to Su Yuan expressionlessly.

Seeing that the one who had pushed him was Chu Tianche, Lin Jie could only look helplessly for another opponent.

He could tell that Chu Tianche was filled with anger and utterly unconvinced by the rankings Teacher Pei had announced earlier.

The surrounding Qianshan No. 1 High School students looked eager to watch the show. Pei Xuan and the other three teachers said nothing, tacitly allowing it.

"Sure."

Su Yuan accepted Chu Tianche's invitation.

Of course, he would not refuse. Although Chu Tianche was now ranked below him, Su Yuan had at least "defeated" him before.

He wondered whether Teacher Jiang Huaisheng's reward still counted.

Unfortunately, Su Yuan's initial ranking had been too high, and his ranking had risen again after yesterday's trip to No. 39 Secret Realm.

Why was it so difficult for him to claim Teacher Jiang Huaisheng's reward?

Su Yuan and Chu Tianche began sparring.

In an instant, Chu Tianche curled his five fingers into claws and reached for Su Yuan.

The moment Chu Tianche moved, Su Yuan saw through the trajectory of his attack and easily dodged it.

A look of surprise flashed through Chu Tianche's eyes.

Even Leng Xin could not react in time to his attack speed. How could Su Yuan, with a mere 78.5 Blood Qi Value, evade so easily?

No, did Su Yuan really have a Blood Qi Value of 78.5?

During their introductions at the beginning, everyone had only stated their values verbally. No Blood Qi testing device had been brought out.

Could he have deliberately hidden his strength?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chu Tianche's mind. He found the scene before him utterly unbelievable.

How could Su Yuan possibly dodge his attacks?

One move, two moves, three moves.

Chu Tianche attacked fiercely, his aura surging. His strength and speed were on an entirely different level from Lin Jie's.

Even so, he simply could not touch Su Yuan.

The other students were already staring in disbelief. Chu Tianche, one of Qianshan No. 1 High School's two great talents, could not even touch an unknown nobody like Su Yuan?

Not even Leng Xin, the top student among Second High School's top three, could pull that off.

Nearby, Lin Jie, who was sparring with Li Xingyu, had long since turned bitter. He silently cursed himself for being so tactless.

The gap between him and Su Yuan had apparently grown this large already. Had he delayed Su Yuan by taking the initiative to spar with him yesterday?

Half an hour passed, and Chu Tianche still had not touched Su Yuan once.

"Su Yuan, do you only know how to dodge?!"

Chu Tianche suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on Su Yuan with faint bloodshot veins in them.
