An Intermediate Martial Artist Returns to Jiangcheng Middle School

Ye Nan watched the City Lord's Mansion martial artists fight the ferocious beasts inside the catacombs.

He knew that if he didn't act soon, the beasts would all be wiped out.

He immediately used Flowing Light Shadow Steps again.

With Flowing Light Shadow Steps, he was as fast as a gust of wind.

How could the ferocious beasts in the West Town Catacombs react to such speed?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, Ye Nan's fists rained down on the beasts.

"Ding! Combat power +30."

"Ding! Combat power +20."

"Ding! Combat power +20."

"Ding! Combat power +10."

"..."

Feeling his combat power rise in his mind, Ye Nan grew braver the longer he fought.

"Who... who is that?"

The City Lord's Mansion martial artists stood dumb as wooden chickens as they watched Ye Nan slaughter the ferocious beasts.

The Flowing Light Shadow Steps Ye Nan had used gave them the impression of something utterly top-tier.

Since when had Jiangcheng gained such a heaven's chosen?

Even Wang Lingxi, who wasn't from Jiangcheng, probably couldn't do that.

There were simply too few ferocious beasts in the catacombs beneath West Town.

Under the combined assault of Ye Nan and the City Lord's Mansion martial artists, the beasts were wiped out.

There was nothing he could do about it. With his current strength, Ye Nan certainly couldn't enter a large catacomb.

Although there were plenty of weak ferocious beasts in large catacombs, there were also quite a few powerful ones.

Against a powerful ferocious beast, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Combat power: 10010.

Looking at his total combat power in his mind, he wore an expression of immense excitement.

So little time had passed, yet his combat power had already reached 10,000.

That was already the basic combat power of an Intermediate Martial Artist.

Before the City Lord's Mansion martial artists could come over and question him, Ye Nan used Flowing Light Shadow Steps again and left.

After leaving the catacombs, Ye Nan saw the dean, Fu Yuncheng, again.

"Ye Nan, did you go into the catacombs too?"

Fu Yuncheng was slightly surprised.

He had wanted Ye Nan to enter the catacombs with them, but Ye Nan had refused.

After thinking it over, Fu Yuncheng understood.

Perhaps Ye Nan thought they would hold him back.

Having seen Ye Nan's strength, Fu Yuncheng had every reason to believe he would think that way.

"Teacher Fu, can I go back to school?"

Ye Nan asked Fu Yuncheng.

After all, he was still being punished, and it wouldn't be quite right to return to school without saying a word.

"Of course."

"Ye Nan, the college entrance exam is coming up soon. I'm sure you'll make everyone at school drop their jaws when the time comes."

As Fu Yuncheng said this, it was as though he could already picture the scene.

"It won't be that dramatic, will it?"

Ye Nan smiled and said goodbye to Fu Yuncheng.

Jiangcheng.

Ye Nan returned to school.

As soon as he arrived, the students' gazes turned toward him.

"That's Ye Nan. Holy shit, he actually pinned my goddess against a wall."

"He had the guts to do it. Do you? I'm so jealous of Ye Nan."

"Wasn't Ye Nan punished and sent to guard the herb garden on West Town's back mountain? How did he get back so soon?"

"The herb garden on West Town's back mountain was probably too boring, so he sneaked back."

The students in the square were all talking about it.

Most of them envied Ye Nan.

After all, Ye Nan had pinned the school beauty, Wang Lingxi, against a wall.

Some students, however, wondered why Ye Nan had returned from the herb garden on West Town's back mountain so soon.

Clearly, they still didn't know that ferocious beasts had appeared in West Town.

"Ye Nan!"

A short while later.

A middle-aged man's voice reached Ye Nan's ears.

Ye Nan knew it was his homeroom teacher, Mao Qiang.

Mao Qiang strode over to Ye Nan and looked at him in bewilderment:

"Why are you back from West Town? Is it because of the ferocious beasts?"

The students at Jiangcheng Middle School didn't know about the ferocious beasts in West Town, but Mao Qiang, as a teacher, naturally did.

"Yes, Teacher Mao, but more importantly, the dean told me to come back."

"I see."

Hearing Ye Nan say that, Mao Qiang was reassured.

Although Ye Nan's talent wasn't much, he was still Mao Qiang's student.

"All right, now that you're back, train hard. The college entrance exam is coming up soon."

"Remember, you mustn't drink again, and you definitely mustn't do anything like that again."

Naturally, what Mao Qiang meant by "anything like that" was Ye Nan pinning Wang Lingxi against a wall.

"Don't worry, Teacher Mao. I'll work hard."

After his homeroom teacher Mao Qiang left, something suddenly occurred to him.

He had gained an epiphany of the Azure Dragon Divine Body when he was attacked by a ferocious beast.

He had gained an epiphany of the Mighty Bull Demon Fist by throwing punches repeatedly.

The same was true of Flowing Light Shadow Steps.

Then what if I practice a body tempering technique?

On Blue Star, people spent most of their time practicing body tempering techniques if they wanted to increase their combat power.

The students at Jiangcheng Middle School all practiced a body tempering technique called the Twelve Body Tempering Forms.

The Twelve Body Tempering Forms could temper every part of the body, increasing combat power.

A short while later.

He arrived at the school's training grounds.

With the college entrance exam approaching, the Jiangcheng Middle School students who were about to take it spent most of their time training on the grounds.

Every martial arts university had its own distinctive features.

They wanted to enter the martial arts universities of their choice.

If they couldn't even get into a martial arts university, their futures would be a fog of uncertainty.

"Ye Nan!?"

A student on the training grounds was momentarily stunned.

After recovering, the student gave a cold laugh in Ye Nan's direction.

Then he walked over to Ye Nan.

"Ye Nan, did you sneak back to school?"

The student was named Ye Tangxing. He was a few days older than Ye Nan and was his older cousin.

Although the Ye Family was only an ordinary family in Jiangcheng, ordinary people still couldn't compare to it.

His grandfather, Ye Sheng, had two sons.

Of them, his grandfather favored his eldest uncle Ye Ming's family.

Ye Tangxing's martial arts talent was also pretty good, and his combat power had now reached 1,600.

Although 1,600 combat power wasn't enough to get into Blue Star's top martial arts universities, it was enough to enter a second-tier school.

This also gave Ye Tangxing a natural sense of superiority when facing Ye Nan.

At that moment, Ye Tangxing looked at Ye Nan mockingly:

"Word of you pinning Wang Lingxi against a wall after drinking has already reached the family."

"Do you know you nearly angered Grandpa to death? He's become a laughingstock among his friends, and now you've even sneaked back to school, you..."

"What does it have to do with you whether I come back to school or not?"

Before Ye Tangxing could finish, Ye Nan interrupted him.

"You... what did you say?"

Ye Tangxing was startled.

He never would have imagined that Ye Nan would dare talk back to him.

Have his wings grown strong?

"You..."

"Get lost!"

Just as Ye Tangxing was about to say something else to Ye Nan.

Ye Nan gave him a cold shout.

At that instant.

Like a slumbering primeval beast, Ye Nan sent an icy gaze bearing down on Ye Tangxing with the weight of the deep sea.
