Upon hearing this, Cheng Chi and Qin Ming looked as though they had seen their savior.
They barely propped themselves up and looked at Su Yuan with pleading eyes.
Lin Jie had originally planned to give Cheng Chi and Qin Ming a bottle of Basic Recovery Liquid each so they could continue training with him.
Who would have thought they had already lost all will to fight?
If Su Yuan had not been here right now, they might have been forcibly dragged back up by Lin Jie to continue training.
But with Su Yuan here, things were different.
Seeing this, Su Yuan immediately emerged from his training state.
After two hours of training, his strength had improved a little more.
[Name: Su Yuan] [Age: 17] [Realm: 72.3 Blood Qi (Uninitiated Martial Artist)] [Talent: Crimson War God's Heart] [Breathing Method: Concise Thunder Breathing Method (34%)] [Martial Skill: Thunderclap Fist (65%)]
After glancing at the panel, Su Yuan was thoroughly satisfied.
This cultivation speed was terrifying. In just two hours, his progress had increased by so much.
Moreover, this training method caused Su Yuan relatively little fatigue.
By now, Su Yuan had expended roughly seventy percent of his total energy.
"Su Yuan, catch."
Seeing that Su Yuan seemed interested in sparring with him, Lin Jie tossed him a bottle of Basic Recovery Liquid.
"Thanks."
Su Yuan caught it, opened the cap, and took small sips.
As the Basic Recovery Liquid entered his mouth, a stream of pure energy circulated through Su Yuan's body, repairing his muscle damage and mental fatigue.
A bottle of Basic Recovery Liquid sold for 180 Xia currency in Xia Nation. It could quickly restore the strength of anyone below the First-Realm Martial Artist level.
Lin Jie also gave Cheng Chi and Qin Ming a bottle each.
Finally, Lin Jie drank one himself.
When you were with Lin Jie, there was no shortage of Basic Recovery Liquid!
A minute later, Su Yuan clenched his fist. The strength throughout his body had fully recovered.
"Please."
Lin Jie made an inviting gesture, while Cheng Chi and Qin Ming stepped down from the arena.
Su Yuan nodded. He also wanted to see just how great the gap was between himself and Lin Jie now.
This was also his first proper battle since arriving in this world.
His match with Cheng Chi had only counted as a small spar.
Expectation surged within him as Su Yuan slowly stepped onto the arena.
At this moment, Cheng Chi and Qin Ming somehow brought over two small stools and sat at the edge of the arena, their faces full of excitement.
They wanted to see just how large the gap was between Su Yuan and Lin Jie.
If Lin Jie truly went all out, he could probably achieve the same result Su Yuan had that afternoon and defeat Cheng Chi in an instant.
When the three of them had been on the arena earlier, the focus had been on training. Lin Jie had used his rich combat experience to guide Cheng Chi and Qin Ming.
But judging by the atmosphere now, Lin Jie seemed to be planning to reveal some real skill in his spar with Su Yuan.
During the Martial Arts Exchange Meet between the two classes that afternoon, Qin Ming had noticed something among Second Class.
After Su Yuan's fight with Cheng Chi, a trace of surprise and excitement had appeared in Lin Jie's eyes.
During Lin Jie's battle with Li Xingyu, everyone in Second Class knew that Lin Jie had not used his full strength. Otherwise, Li Xingyu would have lost even faster.
Not just anyone could shake the position of Thousand Mountains High School's top three seniors.
"Su Yuan can beat me in one move, and Brother Lin can beat me in one move too. Even though I know Brother Lin is definitely stronger than Su Yuan."
"I still want to see just how far Su Yuan is behind Brother Lin."
"Maybe Su Yuan might even force Brother Lin to use the Mountain-Suppressing Spear."
"It's been a long time since we've seen Brother Lin use that move. I really do miss the shock it brings."
Cheng Chi was Lin Jie's diehard fan and had admired him for a long time.
He looked forward to seeing Lin Jie face Su Yuan with calm composure.
Deep down, Cheng Chi hoped Lin Jie could take the edge off Su Yuan's arrogance for him.
Losing to Su Yuan in one move had been far too embarrassing.
Luckily, he had passed out at the time. Otherwise, Cheng Chi would have fled the training room in panic again.
"Su Yuan, you first."
Lin Jie stood on the arena facing Su Yuan. His gaze gradually sharpened, and the aura around him was completely different from when he had sparred with Cheng Chi and Qin Ming earlier.
Clearly, Lin Jie was getting serious too.
"Class Monitor Lin, then I won't hold back."
Su Yuan took a deep breath. Facing Lin Jie, Second Class's greatest genius, and entering his first real battle, he still felt somewhat nervous.
The next moment, Su Yuan suddenly stepped forward. Force burst from beneath his feet as his body shot forward like lightning, and he hurled a fierce punch at Lin Jie.
"Thunderclap Fist."
Lin Jie's expression did not change. His feet gripped the ground firmly as he prepared to take Su Yuan's Thunderclap Fist head-on.
Boom!
An unexpected scene unfolded. Lin Jie was actually blasted three steps back by Su Yuan's punch. Had he not been prepared beforehand, he would have nearly stumbled and fallen.
Lin Jie's expression changed drastically. Veins bulged on his neck as he exerted all his strength to resist the Thunderclap Fist.
Bzzzt—
Strands of lightning emerged from Su Yuan's fist. Lin Jie felt his right hand go numb, then was blasted another five steps backward by Su Yuan.
"What?"
It was as though something had exploded in Cheng Chi and Qin Ming's heads, and their minds instantly went blank.
What had they just seen?
In a contest of strength between Su Yuan and Lin Jie, Su Yuan had actually come out ahead?
From Lin Jie's expression and movements just now, Cheng Chi and Qin Ming could clearly tell that he had already used his full strength.
Yet in pure strength, he was still no match for Su Yuan.
On the arena, Lin Jie hid his right hand behind his back. His entire arm was trembling slightly.
He had been careless. He had not expected Su Yuan to be so strong.
Lin Jie's expression gradually turned serious as he looked at Su Yuan. His Blood Qi Value was as high as 92.3.
Yet he had actually fallen behind when competing with Su Yuan in strength?
Although Su Yuan had the enhancement of Thunderclap Fist, his Blood Qi Value was low.
Judging from that punch just now, Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value was even lower than Cheng Chi's.
Yet he had forcibly surpassed him in strength.
Interesting.
Lin Jie refused to accept it. His aura surged as he charged toward Su Yuan.
In Cheng Chi and Qin Ming's eyes, Su Yuan and Lin Jie exchanged punch after punch, every blow landing solidly on flesh.
Each punch produced a shocking collision as Blood Qi clashed. If any of those strikes landed on them, they would probably be finished instantly.
"That's insane."
Qin Ming's body trembled as he watched the scene.
The moment Su Yuan threw his first punch, he had picked up his small stool and moved some distance away from the arena, afraid of being caught in the aftershocks of their fight.
"Yeah, how can Su Yuan be this fierce?!"
"This makes no sense! Brother Lin's strength is completely inferior to Su Yuan's? What kind of joke is this?!"
Cheng Chi felt as though the sky had fallen. Brother Lin could not gain even the slightest advantage, while Su Yuan seemed to be getting fiercer the longer they fought.
In fact, that was exactly what was happening. As the battle continued, Su Yuan's combat experience soared rapidly.
Gradually, he was even able to predict Lin Jie's movements and make his attacks miss.
Lin Jie was somewhat stunned. Why was the situation so different from what he had imagined?
If this continued, Lin Jie would start doubting himself.
How was Su Yuan suppressing him with such low Blood Qi?
Lin Jie could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
Suddenly, while Lin Jie was distracted for an instant, Su Yuan's fist was about to strike him.
Sensing the enormous danger, Lin Jie's expression changed drastically.
A long spear hurriedly appeared in his hand, and he held it horizontally before himself to block Su Yuan's punch.
Bang!
Lin Jie's body fell to the ground in a sorry state.
Cheng Chi and Qin Ming had already risen to their feet, staring blankly at the scene unfolding on the arena.
"Brother Lin... took out his spear."
"I never expected Su Yuan to force Brother Lin to this point."
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Chi and Qin Ming hurriedly picked up their small stools and moved even farther away.
