Chen Nian and Qin Yu's test officially began!
As usual, the instructor would give them thirty seconds to attack first and demonstrate their abilities.
Qin Yu was quite nervous.
Her level was far from low-in fact, she was one of the best among these trainees-but she worried that Chen Nian wouldn't be up to it.
This instructor seemed to harbor considerable hostility toward Chen Nian...
"Begin." Jiang Lie beckoned with a finger.
I'll give you thirty seconds to attack first, then cripple that brat with powerful qigong, he thought.
Qin Yu attacked first.
Her talent was Archer, and with the epic equipment she had obtained earlier, the Flame Bow, her overall strength was absolutely in a class of its own!
An arrow tore through the air!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lie easily sidestepped it.
I didn't expect her to have some skill.
Jiang Lie was slightly surprised. He could feel the power contained in that arrow.
"Keep going."
Qin Yu gritted her teeth and continued attacking.
One streaking arrow after another flew out as she darted nimbly across the field, like an agile leopardess!
Fortunately, she had changed into dedicated sportswear before the fight, or she wouldn't have been able to make such sweeping movements.
"Holy shit, Qin Yu's that strong..."
"She's stronger than most of us! Her level must be pretty high..."
While everyone was marveling at Qin Yu's strength, they noticed something else strange.
Chen Nian hadn't moved!
The precious thirty seconds kept ticking away, yet he stood rooted to the spot?
"What is Chen Nian thinking?!"
"Heh, maybe he's trying to show off by being different."
"Hopefully he doesn't turn into a clown and get eliminated without doing anything. He's Linhai University's number one Good Samaritan, after all." Sun Jing shook his head with a smile.
Chen Nian's composure made Liu Xingchen uncomfortable all over!
It was like countless ants were crawling up his back!
He was like this that time, too...
Last time, Liu Xingchen had called Chen Nian to try to provoke him, but Chen Nian's tone had been just as calm and composed.
That afternoon, someone had snatched away a billion-yuan project.
Impossible... it couldn't really have been him... how could he have that kind of power?
Liu Xingchen unconsciously clenched his fists.
"This young man is interesting."
Li Yunwei folded her arms across her chest and watched Chen Nian with interest, looking forward to seeing how he would respond.
Hopefully he can last a little longer, or this selection will be far too boring.
The most speechless person there was Qin Yu.
"Chen Nian, you!"
She was both anxious and angry. She had thought Chen Nian would coordinate with her to attack, but instead he had simply given up trying!
Why was he so confident about teaming up with me? Just to look cool?
Or does he think he can face the instructor head-on and doesn't need these thirty seconds of free attacks?
That's way too arrogant!
"Time's up."
Jiang Lie caught the arrow flying straight at him.
Crack!
He crushed it with a resounding snap!
He grinned. "Now it's my turn."
The moment he finished speaking, he had already taken a punching stance, terrifying qigong gathering between his five fingers.
Dust surged beneath his feet, and a fierce wind suddenly rose!
First, he personally couldn't stand Chen Nian.
Second, Sun Jing couldn't stand Chen Nian either and wanted him to teach Chen Nian a lesson.
On top of that, during the break earlier, a shareholder who had invested had approached him and paid him a large sum, specifically asking him to cripple Chen Nian!
With these three buffs stacked together, he planned to go all out and try to accomplish his goal with a single punch!
This punch...
In the distance, Li Yunwei narrowed her eyes slightly. She could sense that the energy contained in this punch far exceeded the earlier ones.
A Qigong Master's moves were formless. Others couldn't tell, but Li Yunwei was a professional, after all.
Is this instructor trying to deal a vicious blow?
But as a spectator, she had no reason to stop him.
"Watch out!"
Qin Yu's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly raised both arms in front of herself, bracing for the impact.
Ninety percent of the earlier trainees had been blasted away by this qigong punch!
She absolutely couldn't let her guard down.
Besides Li Yunwei, Chen Nian could naturally also sense that Jiang Lie's punch was out of the ordinary, on an entirely different level from before.
Does he want revenge on me?
Is it because of what happened earlier, or has someone bribed him?
Chen Nian glanced back, his gaze sweeping over Liu Xingchen in the VIP seats, and saw the faint smile on his face.
Oh, so it was you... very nice.
Boom!!!
The terrifying qigong punch finally exploded in midair.
Countless streams of violent force, accompanied by a deafening gale, surged indiscriminately toward Chen Nian and Qin Yu.
"Word Spirit, Void-Escaping Spirit Snake."
Chen Nian parted his lips slightly, and an invisible spirit snake instantly shot out, surrounding Qin Yu.
Yes, it could also be used for defense.
But he himself didn't need it!
With his extremely high level and the defense provided by his full set of fine equipment, he could simply ignore an attack like this.
Beyond the wind and dust, the students all stared wide-eyed.
Chen Nian and Qin Yu were both standing in place, without having moved even half a step!
"Wh-what's going on..."
Sun Jing and Liu Xingchen were stunned as well. The instructor should have dealt a vicious blow, so why did Chen Nian look completely unharmed?
"Good."
On the field, Li Yunwei, the only person who could understand what had happened, actually voiced her approval without thinking!
She could tell that Chen Nian had withstood that terrifying qigong punch with his own body, and admiration already showed in her eyes.
No one was more shocked than Jiang Lie himself.
He knew perfectly well that he had put all his strength into that punch!
It could not only blast the two of them away, but also leave a hidden strand of qi inside their bodies that could later directly damage their internal organs!
How had they managed to block it?
"Looks like the instructor is done. Now it's my turn."
"Chen Nian, you..."
Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Chen Nian shot forward like the wind.
A plain, unadorned frontal punch hurtled toward the instructor's face!
Jiang Lie hurriedly raised his arms to block, but the instant they touched Chen Nian's fist, searing pain shot through them!
Crack. His bones shattered.
The fist then slammed hard into his face, knocking him flat on the spot.
One punch, and Jiang Lie went down without getting back up.
Pure physical strength-these were the stats and attack power of a high level!
Jiang Lie was already bleeding from his mouth and nose, unconscious.
All around them, gasps rose one after another. Everyone was dumbstruck...
"Chen-is that Chen Nian???"
"Holy fuck..."
Only the crudest language could express the sheer shock they felt.
Chen Nian had knocked the instructor down with one punch. Who would have dared imagine such a thing?
It was just fucking absurd!
Everyone had thought Chen Nian was showing off and trying to look cool. Who could have imagined that he simply couldn't be bothered!
Why would he need those thirty seconds for something he could settle with one punch?
Qin Yu stood frozen in place, her mouth open, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
