To think he couldn’t even withstand a single punch from me, getting knocked out cold, body and soul. Ma De! I’m about to lose it! Su Yan was furiously complaining inside his head.
Just then, the proctor standing beside him was the first to recover and loudly declared, "The winner, Su Yan!"
The resounding proclamation was like a boulder dropped into the sea, instantly causing a massive uproar.
"Su Yan! Incredible! Incredible!" someone began shouting at the top of their lungs, their face full of excitement, growing louder with each shout.
Then, very quickly, the audience snapped back to their senses, and the venue erupted into a roar as loud as a tsunami.
"Su Yan! The eternal god of Luo City! The eternal god of Nanjiang! The forever and ever god!"
"Top four! We’re in the top four!"
"Su Yan! What in the world are you? How can you be so damn awesome?"
In their shock, many in the audience couldn’t help but curse loudly.
"Damn! Incredible! Damn! Incredible! Damn! Incredible! Damn! Incredible!"
"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!"
"Fuck! Shit! Hell! Damn! Fuck! Shit! Hell! Damn!"
These crude and vulgar words were relentless, their continuous shouts deafening.
At the same time, Su Yan’s old acquaintances were all dumbstruck, their faces filled with disbelief. Especially Li Changxiao below the stage, whose eyes were wide with shock, his face a mask of astonishment. He had thought he already held Su Yan in high regard, but he never expected the other to be far more monstrous than he had imagined.
One punch! Just one punch! That guy instantly defeated Qin Hansheng with a single blow! Is that something a human can even do? Thinking this, Li Changxiao felt the pressure mounting. He had originally thought that becoming Nanjiang Province’s top scholar this year was practically a certainty for him. Well, so much for that. Things had just taken a turn for the worse. The sight of Su Yan suddenly obliterating Qin Hansheng had completely shaken Li Changxiao’s confidence.
He wins with an instant knockout every time he gets on stage. Whoever he faces, it’s an instant knockout. It’s impossible to gauge his actual strength. I only know he’s very strong, but I have no idea *how* strong. The more Li Changxiao thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and a particular saying couldn’t help but come to mind. If Yu already exists, why then was Liang born?
At this very moment, Li Changxiao wasn’t the only favored child of heaven among the examinees who was utterly shocked and astounded. The two sisters from the Qin Family wore expressions that were just as troubled. Especially the elder sister, Qin Min. Her usually cool and impassive face, which rarely betrayed emotion, was now completely filled with shock, awe, and disbelief. She had heard about the examinee Qin Hansheng early on. She often listened to instructors at school discuss him, and their evaluations were always very high. They said he was unequivocally the number one high school student in the history of Narrow State, with no close second. Even among all the examinees from Nanjiang Province over many years, he could rank in the top three. In short, he was incredibly formidable.
However! Such an incredibly formidable person had just been instantly defeated by Su Yan with a single punch.
This... this... I’m not dreaming, am I? Qin Min began to question reality itself.
As for her younger sister, Qin Yao, below the stage, her pretty face was flushed scarlet, her heart pounded in her chest, and her eyes practically sparkled as she gazed at Su Yan from afar.
As for old rivals like Zhang Nan, Luo Kaixuan, Xu Haolong, and others, they were, without exception, all dumbfounded and utterly stupefied. Especially Lin Ruoxi, his classmate for three years; the expression on her delicate little face was as if she had seen a ghost.
Is this really Su Yan? Could he be some powerful figure in disguise? The thought is terrifying!
Meanwhile, in a corner of the square, a girl, amidst her own shock, wore an expression of someone who had narrowly escaped disaster.
Thank goodness I surrendered decisively and didn’t go up there thinking I’d just ’give it a shot,’ only to get annihilated. Otherwise, I would have undoubtedly suffered a brutal beating back then. Good fortune follows a narrow escape from death! I need to log into Genshin Impact for a ten-pull right away; I’ll definitely get something good!
At this thought, Shen Yingying immediately pulled out her phone, logged into the game, and began her lucky summoning session.
At the same time, the various Education Bureau directors in the VIP seats were still experiencing a mental shutdown, completely unable to process what had just happened. It wasn’t until the Director of Narrow State City’s Education Bureau exclaimed in horror, "How is this possible! How can this be! Qin Hansheng actually lost?"
Only then did the others beside him gradually snap out of their daze, voicing their shock one after another:
"My god! He took out Qin Hansheng with a single punch! Is he still a high school student? He must be a mythical beast in disguise! Terrifying..."
Quickly, the camera crews sprang into action. In an instant, dozens, even hundreds, of people holding microphones and carrying cameras swarmed towards Su Yan. They immediately shoved microphones in Su Yan’s face, bombarding him with a barrage of questions.
"Student Su Yan, you just instantly defeated Qin Hansheng with a single punch. May I ask why your punches are so fierce, and how did you train to achieve that?"
"It’s quite simple. Whenever you have free time, just go spar with Boxing Grandmasters from the three major internet strongholds."
So that’s how it is. I understand now. The reporter who asked the question nodded, mentally noting down this method of training one’s punching skills.
Soon, it was another reporter’s turn to ask a question.
"Student Su Yan, may I ask what kind of divine food you ate growing up, or how you usually train your body?"
"That’s an excellent question, very insightful. It really hits the nail on the head."
