Ye Changfeng examined the five people in the classroom and seemed very satisfied with them.
"Currently, out of the eleven SRs in the Martial Arts College, only six have attained the realm: Late Qi Mastery. After careful consideration, I have chosen four of you SRs, plus one Xiang Beifei. This competition for new students requires your earnest efforts to work together. You may now ask any questions you have," he said.
Ma Ziqian frowned beside him and quickly spoke up, "Mr. Ye, all the other schools have SSR Awakeners. Considering the training speed of SSRs, they should have already reached the Meridian Opening phase. This year, we don't have a single one among the new students—just four at the Late Qi Mastery stage—"
He paused as he glanced at Xiang Beifei, his eyes showing a hint of wariness, then added, "Even if we add an invincible Qi-Controlling Body Cultivator, it still might not be enough."
[Your question was faster than the other four people, Godspeed value +4]
Ye Changfeng glanced at Xiang Beifei and, after a moment of thought, said, "No worries, even if SSRs participate, their involvement is limited. It's not certain that we will face SSRs from other schools. Of course, if we cannot win in individual matches, it doesn't mean we are definitely going to lose—we also have the team competitions. As long as we kill more desolate beasts in the outer desolate lands than the others, our chances of winning are also very high."
"But I still think that's unreliable," Ma Ziqian said.
"Do you have a better idea?" Long Guocheng scoffed from the side.
There were no SSRs among the freshmen at Liangzhou University, a reality that was irreversible; it was impossible to suddenly find a non-existent SSR freshman to participate, and there was no way to fake it.
Ma Ziqian pondered but offered no retort.
Ye Changfeng continued, "Anyway, I need to take you all to the outer desolate lands for a trip. For these ten days, you can skip classes and focus on training. However, before we leave, I hope you all have already met my requirements and prepared all..."
Before Ye Changfeng could finish, the door was suddenly thrown open with a "bang," and a tall student stormed in, interrupting him.
Seeing the student who had burst in, Ye Changfeng also slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Cai Yao, what are you doing?"
The student looked deeply indignant and said, "Mr. Ye, I am not convinced! As an SR-level Awakener with strong capabilities, why am I not participating in this new student competition, instead letting an N-level Body Cultivator go?"
He scanned the classroom, his gaze landing on Xiang Beifei, who was sitting with one hand propping up his chin.
[SR rank, Superiority Complex System]
[Realm: Late Qi Mastery]
His look at Xiang Beifei was immediately filled with provocation.
Ye Changfeng said from the side, "Who receives a spot in the competition has been carefully considered. You lost to them, meaning you are temporarily not able to perform at your best. Perhaps you can surpass them in the future, but not now."
His words were already quite polite; Cai Yao, after all, was also an SR, but in the past two days' selection, he was slightly inferior, failing to measure up to Long Guocheng and the other four.
Cai Yao said, "Losing to other SR students I can accept, but why does he, an N-level who didn't even participate in the selection, get confirmed directly? Just because he's a so-called Body Cultivator? I am the first to object!"
"Then what would you like?"
"I want to challenge him to..."
Everyone felt as if a fiery red streak had passed through the air, and then they saw Cai Yao flying backwards out the door.
Xiang Beifei stood by the door, looking seriously at Cai Yao who was lying on the ground stunned by a punch, and seriously asked, "Is this satisfactory now?"
Cai Yao sat on the ground, dazedly looking at Xiang Beifei, his mind a blank.
He didn't even know how he had been knocked down by that punch.
"Wow, he's so powerful!"
Xi Keyao looked at Xiang Beifei cheerfully, completely like an admiring fan.
"This fool, he was asking for it; didn't even see who he was challenging."
Long Guocheng looked down contemptuously at Cai Yao, who was sitting on the floor.
But suddenly, something occurred to him, and his expression became slightly uneasy.
Because at the start of the school term, he had also intended to make trouble for Xiang Beifei.
It was as though he was talking about himself.
Damn, when did I start thinking that it was only natural for Cai Yao to be sent flying by this N-level nobody with one punch?
Long Guocheng's face twitched involuntarily, reluctant to admit this point, but his eyes became more solemn.
"Is this guy really that strong?"
He hadn't even seen how Xiang Beifei had struck!
Ma Ziqian was also shocked. Even though he possessed a speed-type system, he couldn't understand why Xiang Beifei's speed seemed... not at all slower than his own?
Is this what they call the invincible Qi-Controlling Body Cultivator?
Li Zimu slightly shook his head, not seeming too surprised either.
"Next time you come in, remember to knock; it's more polite that way."
Having said that to Cai Yao, Xiang Beifei calmly shut the classroom door again.
"Teacher, please continue."
Xiang Beifei took his seat again.
Ye Changfeng touched his forehead; an unsatisfied SR wanting to challenge was just straightaway convinced by one punch.
Everyone here is quite unique!
But that's just how it is at the Martial Arts College. When disputes arise, fists do the talking, and a fight is all it takes to settle them.
"Now, our upcoming training will begin in the outer desolate lands. You may go back and prepare now. I will be taking you to the outer desolate lands tomorrow morning. I hope each of you comes prepared. This training in the outer desolate lands is not only for the competition but also for your future considerations," Ye Changfeng said.
