" Jiang Fan, you're still a high school student and you dare to harbor murderous intentions? Someone like you has no right to participate in the martial arts exam."

At this point, Jiang Youtian turned to look at Wei Cangyue.

" Instructor Wei, I strongly recommend that Jiang Fan's eligibility as a candidate be revoked."

Many students echoed this sentiment.

Some of these people uphold justice and dare to kill during training sessions; such people are not worthy of participating in the martial arts exam. Others are weaker than Jiang Fan; if Jiang Fan disqualifies them from the exam, they will lose a competitor.

Wei Cangyue looked at the students unhurriedly, and finally his gaze fell on Jiang Fan.

"They've all said that, aren't you going to offer any explanation?"

Jiang Fan's expression remained calm and composed, as if he were an outsider facing the storm that was sweeping towards him.

He slowly raised his hand and pointed, "Isn't there surveillance footage over there?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up.

Jiang Youtian also looked up, but there was no worry on his face.

Wei Cangyue frowned. "The area where you were just now should be a blind spot for the surveillance cameras."

That's right, that's why Jiang Youtian is so fearless, and that's why he dares to take action.

Otherwise, would he be so foolish as to commit murder under surveillance?

Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan, let's see how you turn things around now!

Just as Jiang Youtian was feeling smug, Jiang Fan's outstretched finger suddenly changed, tilting slightly to point in another direction.

I'm referring to the pinhole camera installed in the air conditioner.

These words stunned everyone present.

All eyes turned to the air conditioner, but no matter how carefully they looked, they couldn't see the pinhole camera Jiang Fan had mentioned.

" Jiang Fan, you're not just making this up, are you?" someone questioned.

Jiang Fan ignored him and instead said to Wei Cangyue, "You'll find out when you get to the monitoring room."

Although Wei Cangyue was also skeptical, he nodded because Jiang Fan sounded so certain.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the monitoring room and questioned the staff inside.

The staff member looked shocked. "That pinhole camera was extremely small, and it was installed inside the air conditioner, really inside, very deep inside. It was extremely well hidden. How did you know there was a pinhole camera inside?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Fan with disbelief.

Jiang Youtian was initially shocked, then his face showed terror, and the color in his face kept fading.

Wei Cangyue looked Jiang Fan up and down with great interest. "Tell me, how did you find out?"

Jiang Fan pointed to his eyes, "My eyesight is exceptionally good."

Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately said, "Student, this isn't about your eyesight. The problem is that those pinhole cameras are truly as small as the name suggests—like a pinhole. At that distance, even if you had a telescope, you might not be able to spot them."

Upon hearing this, Wei Cangyue became even more curious about Jiang Fan, and at the same time, a guess arose in his mind.

"Are you really just good-looking? Or do you have some special ability that no one knows about?"

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm and composed.

Unbeknownst to him, Lan Shengxue, standing to the side, was staring intently at him with her sharp, intelligent eyes.

Lan Shengxue recalled her previous experience in the Inner Wilderness Zone. The young man named Tang Fan had an exceptionally good intuition, especially in the Death Swamp, where he led the way and completely avoided all the puddles.

That's why what should have been the most difficult level, the Death Swamp, turned out to be the easiest.

Jiang Fan felt uncomfortable under Wei Cangyue's gaze. " Instructor Wei, this is the 28th century. We need to be scientific. You're talking as if I have some kind of superpower."

"Besides, the point isn't to investigate how I discovered the hidden camera, but to have the staff review the surveillance footage so we can find out who was trying to kill whom."

Wei Cangyue gave Jiang Fan a mysterious smile, "Alright, let's not investigate these things for now. We'll explore them properly later."

Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned by that intriguing smile, and immediately sensed that something was terribly wrong.

"Could you please play it back?" Wei Cangyue said to the staff member.

Soon, under the staff's guidance, the screen displayed images of students drawing their bows and shooting arrows at targets.

A few minutes later, Jiang Youtian, who had been shooting arrows at the target, suddenly changed direction and pointed directly at Jiang Fan.

Upon seeing this, the students almost simultaneously turned to look at Jiang Youtian.

Jiang Youtian was so frightened that his legs trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned as white as a sheet of paper.

"No, I didn't, I--"

Before he could finish speaking, the students saw Jiang Youtian's arrow, nocked on the bowstring, shoot straight out on the screen.

The next second, Jiang Fan suddenly stopped, didn't even look, nocked an arrow, turned around, and fired instantly.

With a "whoosh!" sound, the sound wave that cut through the air with unstoppable force rang out in the monitoring room.

Immediately, the arrow pierced through the incoming arrow, creating a flower-like pattern, and finally landed accurately on the bullseye of the target.

Everyone was deeply shocked by Jiang Fan's decisive and perfect arrow, and their hearts were filled with turmoil that lasted for a long time.

Lan Shengxue's pupils suddenly lit up, and a rare smile appeared on Bingchuan's face.

She was right after all...

What shocked her was that Tang Fan from Xiaoqiang Studio was a Late-Stage Martial Apprentice apprentice, and Jiang Fan's progress was simply unbelievable.

The more Lan Shengxue thought about it, the more solemn her expression became. She felt a figure that was originally very far away behind her suddenly getting closer and closer.

She ran ahead, but the people behind her ran even faster.

If this continues, sooner or later she will be caught up.

It seems she needs to work even harder!

Jiang Fan turned around and looked at Jiang Youtian.

Jiang You was furious at Jiang Youtian Jiang Fan's mocking gaze, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Jiang Fan didn't say much to Jiang Youtian, but instead said to Wei Cangyue, " Instructor Wei, Jiang Youtian is still a high school student and he dared to have murderous intentions. Such a person is not qualified to participate in the martial arts exam at all."

The same words sounded so harsh to Jiang Youtian's ears, followed by an overwhelming sense of terror.

"No, I... I made a mistake just now. I didn't mean to kill Jiang Fan."

Wei Cangyue stroked his chin and said to Jiang Fan, "You're right, someone like that is indeed not qualified to participate in the martial arts exam."

One sentence struck Jiang Youtian like a thunderbolt. He begged repeatedly, " Instructor Wei, please give me another chance! As the hope of the Jiang Family, I can't miss the martial arts exam. Please, I beg you! Just don't report it and disqualify me from the exam, I'll do anything you ask!"
