Qin Ze and Fang Songhua ultimately advanced to the final.
Qin Ze is undoubtedly a dark horse who emerged from Jiang City's martial arts exam this year.
The top floor of the tallest building in Jiang City is now filled with heartbroken gamblers.
They extended warm and enthusiastic greetings to Qin Ze's ancestors for eighteen generations.
The final match is scheduled for 2 PM.
To ensure the safety of the candidates and to Enough to Use them to get sufficient rest.
A rest room and lunch were specially arranged in the examination room.
Every year, the final round of the martial arts exam, along with the award ceremony for the top scorer, is broadcast live to the public.
A makeshift spectator stand was also set up around the examination room.
Qin Ze was warming up on the sidelines.
I was browsing through the chat group out of boredom and found out that Little Deer's martial arts exam was already over.
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: I got first place in the martial arts exam!]
The excited Little Deer received no reply from anyone.
Even the Water Dragon King Fairy are offline.
With no one to share her joy with, the Little Deer felt a little disappointed.
[ Beast Tamer: As expected of Little Deer, you're really amazing]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: Hehe~ It's alright, the opponent wasn't very strong, I won in a minute]
Qin Ze couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Speaking the toughest words in the softest, cutest tone.
It has to be you.
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: Senior, you didn't go to the Abyss either?]
[ Beast Tamer: The younger generation in my family is taking their martial arts exam, and they insist I accompany them. I had no choice.]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: He must be really amazing!]
[ Beast Tamer: Of course, it can't compare to the Little Deer ]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: I'm almost embarrassed by your praise, everyone seems so busy today]
[ Beast Tamer: Everyone's busy, it's good to be busy]
Bang bang bang--
On both sides of the arena, a series of colorful streamers flew into the sky.
The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, and firecrackers crackled and popped.
The entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
The final round of the martial arts exam has begun.
Qin Ze roused himself and stepped onto the ring.
This is his performance.
"I never imagined I'd be on stage one day."
"Passing the imperial examination, celebrating your wedding night, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land—these are the three greatest joys in life; cherish them well."
"Protest! Why is it always the original entity that personally shows up every time?"
"Sigh, what can we do? We're just working people."
"I'm pretty..."
Qin Ze could no longer hear the chatter of his clones.
A gentle breeze, warm sunshine, and the spotlight...
He was enjoying the spotlight.
" Qin Ze, your previous performance was quite impressive."
"But I can tell you definitively that I am this year's top scorer in the martial arts exam."
Fang Songhua on the stage interrupted Qin Ze's thoughts.
Qin Ze was quite annoyed. "Didn't your family ever teach you that interrupting others is extremely impolite?"
Fang Songhua said coldly, "I don't understand the nonsense you're spouting."
"Considering we go to the same school, I can give you some advice."
"When the duel begins, you'd better get off the stage yourself, lest you end up in bed for months and miss the opening ceremony of Wuhan University."
Qin Ze said impatiently, "Stop babbling and get started."
Seeing that Qin Ze completely disregarded her, Fang Songhua vowed to teach him a lesson later.
when--
The gong sounded for the competition.
Qin Ze's 160 acupoints were instantly activated.
boom--
Qin Ze transformed into a blur as he flashed across the arena, sending violent shockwaves surging to both sides of the stage.
Caught off guard, the audience was thrown about by the sudden gust of wind.
"So fast!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Songhua's eyes.
However, his surprise was quickly replaced by confidence.
So what if it's fast?
"I refuse to believe you can figure out my trump card!"
Qin Ze wanted to end the battle quickly.
The Little Deer took one minute.
Thirty seconds isn't too much for this peerless genius, is it?
Bang--
Qin Ze slammed a heavy punch into Fang Songhua's chest, so fast that the opponent had no time to react.
This punch was Qin Ze's pure blood and physical strength, without any fancy moves.
However, Fang Songhua remained standing still.
Qin Ze frowned slightly, immediately withdrew his fist and stepped back.
He felt as if he had punched the door of the shelter.
Is the physical body of Level One Martial Artist really that tough?
Fang Songhua grinned.
He slowly took off his coat, revealing a silver soft armor.
"Level 1 defensive Martial Artifact, capable of withstanding attacks with less than 1000 health points."
"You haven't even broken through to the Level One Martial Artist; you can't break through my defenses at all."
"I am now in an invincible position."
This is Fang Songhua's trump card.
The martial arts exam only prohibits offensive Martial Artifact; defensive Martial Artifact are limited to level one.
Because Martial Artifact are expensive, ordinary families cannot afford them.
The family's scions have always been overwhelmingly powerful, so they disdain using them.
But this year, facing Qin Ze, a dark horse who suddenly emerged, the Fang Family is a little panicked.
They went all out and gave Fang Songhua a taste of his own medicine.
The city lord in the observation room looked displeased.
"We can't afford to keep playing the old house anymore."
Is this against the rules?
It's not against the rules.
But it was just too embarrassing.
The Fang Family is, after all, a martial arts family in the city.
It's a bit bullying to put on Martial Artifact and fight against ordinary kids.
Everyone else remained silent.
They believed Qin Ze was destined to lose this time.
If you can't break through the defense, how can you fight back?
Xie Xueying, sitting on the sidelines, looked worried.
She felt that Qin Ze's best option at this point was to forfeit and admit defeat.
Compared to safety and danger, being the top scorer is no longer that important.
The audience members also sighed and groaned.
"No more."
"As expected, ordinary children can never catch up with children from martial arts families."
"Damn it, that's not Fairness!"
"Hehe, giving you a chance to go on stage is already very Fairness."
Fang Songhua on the ring, Yangyang.
"Family background is also a form of strength."
You should thank me; I taught you a lesson today.
Qin Ze shook his head. "If being a turtle is your trump card, then you've disappointed me greatly."
I thought things had finally gotten a bit more intense.
That's it?
Fang Songhua was about to retort sarcastically, a violent sense of oppression suddenly swept over him, and a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.
run!
If we don't run, we'll die!
A faint tiger's roar emanated from Qin Ze.
In Fang Songhua's field of vision, he saw a white tiger with piercing eyes charging fiercely towards him.
The software on his body instantly cracked, like a piece of glass about to shatter.
"Puff--"
Fang Songhua suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward off the stage.
His head lolled to the side, and he fainted.
After calming his blood and qi, Qin Ze turned and walked off the stage.
The entire venue was silent for a second, then erupted into thunderous cheers and applause.
The top scorer in the martial arts examination has always been dominated by martial arts families, but this year an ordinary person actually defeated a martial arts family.
Is this the real you?
Xie Xueying watched Qin Ze's retreating figure and offered her heartfelt congratulations.
The city lord in the observation room slammed his fist on the table in excitement, declaring that Jiang City was about to rise to power.
"Next, the Jiang City Ministry of Education will present the certificate and prize to our top scorer, Qin Ze."
Qin Ze stood on the podium.
The Ministry of Education patted him on the shoulder.
Your performance today was truly amazing.
Keep up the good work, and you'll definitely have a place in the future.
The top scorer's prize is ten Blood Crystals.
"I will."
Qin Ze thought to himself that he was stingy; he had expected him to give him a Soul Orb.
"Yay, we're the champions!"
"It took forty-seven seconds, faster than the Little Deer!"
"How about we have a party tonight?"
I second that!
"It just so happens that many brothers died in the last Otherworld and haven't had their memorial services yet, let's do it together."
The conversation quickly shifted from the champion to the memorial party.
At that moment, Qin Ze suddenly felt something.
He looked up.
Five enormous cyclones suddenly appeared in the once clear blue sky.
The Ministry of Education, noticing something amiss, instantly turned ashen-faced.
"Tides... Tide."
