Sent Flying with One Punch, the Principal's Goodwill
"Liao Yang!"
"Liao Yang!"
"Liao..."
Just as some of the girls were cheering at the top of their lungs, they suddenly got a clear look at the figure who had gone flying. Their voices stuck in their throats as if they had swallowed chicken shit.
The entire crowd fell silent in an instant, everyone staring at the arena in disbelief.
Liao Yang, whom everyone had just been singing praises for, now lay on the ground, his face pale and his expression full of pain.
Qin Chen, meanwhile, stood in the middle of the arena, still in the same spot.
Everyone's minds went blank. Liao Yang, the fifth-ranked genius, had actually been taken out in a single move, without even making Qin Chen take half a step.
"Qin Chen! Qin Chen!" Wang Hai was the first to react and suddenly shouted.
"Qin Chen!"
"Qin Chen!"
At that moment, the students of Class Seven all started shouting.
Fang Lei was shocked as well. His pupils contracted; even he had been unable to tell exactly what realm Qin Chen was in during that brief instant.
"Quick, two of you, carry him to the infirmary!" Fang Lei hurriedly shouted when he saw Liao Yang growing more and more distressed as he lay on the ground.
After Liao Yang was carried away, Qin Chen looked at Fang Lei, and Fang Lei looked back at him.
A little embarrassed, Qin Chen said, "Sorry, sir. It was my first time making a move, and I couldn't hold back!"
Fang Lei waved a hand and was about to speak.
Qin Chen continued, "Sir, pick the next one. I'll definitely stop short this time!"
The students around them turned pale at his words.
Fang Lei froze. Pick the next one, my ass! Liao Yang had been knocked down in one move; there was no point in picking anyone else.
"Qin Chen, come with me!" Fang Lei then looked at the others. "Carry on and spar among yourselves until I get back!"
With that, he led Qin Chen off in a certain direction on the school grounds.
The students left behind were all dumbfounded. Once they came to their senses, they finally couldn't help breaking into discussion.
"What realm is Qin Chen in?"
"He should be at Mid Body Tempering. Mid Body Tempering! In all of First High, only Wang Qiang, the Class One class monitor, reached it, and that was just a short while ago!"
"Holy shit, Qin Chen is one sneaky bastard. He only revealed it now!"
In the arena.
Wang Hai was already surrounded by people, all of them classmates from Class Seven. They all knew he was close to Qin Chen, and every one of them was curious.
"Hehe, actually, I've known my brother's strength for a long time. Let me tell you, he's not at Mid Body Tempering, but Late Body Tempering!"
The little fatty looked smug, but inside he was utterly dumbfounded.
Damn, that kid actually kept it from me and secretly became an expert!
"What? Late Body Tempering!"
The people around him cried out in alarm when they heard Wang Hai's words.
Hiss-
The sound of people sucking in cold breaths rang out. They watched Qin Chen's retreating figure, their eyes full of disbelief.
The school's martial arts building was where students usually sparred and cultivated on their own, as well as where they tested their combat power.
"Qin Chen, what realm are you in?" Fang Lei asked earnestly, his expression grave. "Don't hide anything. This will affect the arrangements the school makes for you next."
During the final sprint toward the college entrance exam, the school made different arrangements for different students. If he hid anything now, he would be the one to lose out.
"Peak Body Tempering!" Qin Chen said with a nod.
He certainly wouldn't reveal the matter of his three elements, but Body Training Peak was impressive enough.
"Just as I thought, it really is Body Training Peak!" Fang Lei was beside himself with excitement. He grabbed Qin Chen by both arms. "Would you mind testing your combat power?"
"Mr. Fang, calm down," Qin Chen said helplessly. "All right, let's test it!"
He was curious himself whether the combat power measured by the machine would match what the system showed.
"Wait!" Fang Lei suddenly took out his phone, dialed a number, and made a call.
Before long, a man who looked to be in his fifties walked over.
"Fang Lei, what's going on? You just had to make me rush over," the man said, sounding somewhat displeased.
"Principal, this is big! There's a student about to test his combat power, so I asked you to come and see!" Fang Lei said excitedly.
The principal was about to lose his temper. What was so interesting about a student taking a test?
Suddenly, a loud bang rang out. He immediately looked over and saw the combat power figure on the machine jumping continuously before it finally stopped.
He stared at the number, dumbstruck.
150.
Even Fang Lei, who already knew Qin Chen was at Peak Body Tempering, widened his eyes in disbelief.
This figure was already far beyond Peak Body Tempering. Although someone at Peak Body Tempering could exceed one hundred-some people were born with stronger physiques, after all-reaching one hundred and fifty was practically impossible.
"Fang Lei, what school is this student from?" The principal glanced at Qin Chen, and after confirming that he didn't recognize him, he shouted the question at Fang Lei.
As principal, he didn't know many of the school's students, but he knew the outstanding ones very well, and there was no one named Qin Chen among them.
"Principal, Qin Chen is a student at our school, in Class Seven of the third year. Otherwise, why would he be taking a test at our school?" Fang Lei came out of his shock and was somewhat speechless.
Why would he bring a student from another school here?
Only then did the principal take a good look at Qin Chen. Knowing he was a student at his own school, he found him more pleasing to the eye the longer he looked.
"Student Qin, come, come!" The principal pulled Qin Chen aside and sat down with him.
"Student Qin, do you have two elements?" he suddenly asked.
At Peak Body Tempering, with a combat power of 150, there were only two possibilities: he was either a complete freak or had two elements.
The probability of either was terrifyingly low, but comparing the two, he thought it was more likely that Qin Chen had two elements. After all, Qin Chen didn't look like he had that kind of freakish muscular physique.
Qin Chen nodded and didn't deny it. People with two elements were rare, but not unheard of.
"Haha, good!" The principal laughed heartily.
Two elements and a combat power of 150 proved that Qin Chen's other element had already reached Middle Body Training. Such a cultivation speed was simply terrifying.
"However, I suggest you focus on the element that's at Peak Body Tempering. The college entrance exam is approaching, and if you can become a One-Star Martial Artist by then, you'll have your pick of Dragon Country's universities!" the principal earnestly reminded him.
He had worked at First High for so long, and Qin Chen was the greatest genius he had ever seen. He had to be taken seriously; he would definitely be a trump card in the college entrance exam.
"I understand!" Qin Chen nodded, offering no explanation.
"By the way, how would you like the school to help you cultivate?" the principal suddenly asked.
Although the school had previously prepared to give its top students targeted training, Qin Chen's appearance made this more than a question of top students. The school's so-called geniuses had been left ten streets behind, and the training plans meant for them weren't suitable for Qin Chen.
"Actually, I don't have any particular requests." Qin Chen shook his head slightly.
The school's training plan certainly couldn't compare to his system, so there was no need for it.
"Principal, I heard the school has a special cash award?" Qin Chen asked.
Hearing this, the principal looked at Qin Chen. This kid was truly straightforward.
He nodded. "There is, but even the highest award isn't much."
"How much?"
"One hundred thousand."
"That's very good too. I'd like to apply for the award. Principal, you might not know about my family's circumstances, but we're very poor!" Qin Chen said earnestly.
What a good kid!
The principal sighed inwardly, then said, "I'll apply for the award for you and try to get it approved within three days."
The school had a set procedure for award applications, and the shortest it could take was three days.
"Then thank you, Principal!" Qin Chen smiled.
One hundred thousand, plus what he had in his bank account, would bring him to four hundred and twenty thousand. Many families couldn't save that much in a lifetime.
