"This..." Chen Jun was directly rendered speechless.
Zhao Hao was right. It was Wang Zhan who started this. If he didn't take the challenge, how would he continue to fit in?
Seeing Chen Jun speechless, Zhao Hao continued, "Don't use the college entrance examination to pressure me. It seems my brother is also a seed candidate? What's that got to do with me? I've come here with a calm heart. But clearly, Brother Wang Zhan looks down on resource martial artists. Since that's the case, let's have a duel."
"A martial artist cannot be insulted! Even a resource martial artist. I will report this to the Weapon Corporation, and then let's see what explanation Chu State can give us. Without our life-and-death testing of equipment, without us seemingly gathering herbs, the Human Race wouldn't be where it is today."
Zhao Hao's companions were all passionately talking.
Principal Cao sighed, "Alas!"
He didn't know what to say. What was Wang Zhan doing? Wasn't he just looking for trouble for no reason? Why offend these people taking pills?
Saying this, Principal Cao looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Mr. Zhao, please show some mercy!"
Nobody had faith in Wang Zhan, and Principal Cao was unspeakably nervous and worried. Wang Zhan's talent was unprecedented. Principal Cao even felt he wasn't inferior to those so-called prodigies. An 18-year-old martial student was qualified for the top four martial arts academies, and Wang Zhan could even choose one.
But Wang Zhan was too confident, too arrogant. You can eat the wrong food, but you can't say the wrong things. It's good for young people to learn some lessons. But he worried about Zhao Hao's lack of martial ethics! How many geniuses have perished before they could grow up? Zhao Hao wasn't stupid. Would he watch a formidable enemy rise?
Zhao Hao laughed heartily, "Principal Cao, you don't need to provoke me. I, Zhao Hao, am not that petty. Humans have it tough, and I won't do such despicable things. However, some setbacks are inevitable. Set up the combat arena!"
Chen Jun looked at Principal Cao, and Principal Cao nodded, "Set up the arena!"
This was also a form of protection. Without an arena, trouble would arise if Zhao Hao harbored malicious intent. With the arena, it had to adhere to the rules of the Federation martial artists' arena. No matter what, they could at least save Wang Zhan's life.
Inside the venue, the school's teachers and students were busy. At this moment, Wang Zhan was operating the tempering rules of the cultivation guide.
After this sequence of events, the attributes skyrocketed. He could clearly feel that the internal Qi sensation was more tangible. If it used to be a thin line, it's now as thick as a thin rope.
The entire cultivation guide was deeply imprinted in his mind. Following the tempering rules, guiding and controlling the circulation of internal Qi through all the meridians, muscles, and bones of the body. After several rounds, he clearly felt a sense of physical strengthening.
"Wang Zhan, your strength has been increasing rapidly lately? But you can't even master your own strength, you're really such a loser!"
His sister Wang Qi's words echoed again in Wang Zhan's mind. Wang Zhan felt bitter. The explosion of attributes seemed to make his control over his body slightly unruly. It seemed that he would have to bear the label of a loser for some time.
After a round, Wang Zhan felt greater control over his body. Moreover, he felt some soreness all over his body. But he also discovered a problem. The tempering technique was only running between the limbs and torso, seemingly completely unrelated to acupoints and the brain.
Indeed, according to the cultivation guide, before reaching the Martial Master level, a martial artist's cultivation mainly focused on the limbs and torso. The level of acupoints and the brain was too profound. It was not something that could be touched now, calling it a forbidden zone is not an exaggeration.
As a martial artist who just sensed Qi, trying to access acupoints and the brain was extremely dangerous. The feeling of Qi was inherently subtle, and slight carelessness could lead to loss of control. In that case, one could get injured, or worse, become disabled.
About fifteen minutes later, Wang Zhan checked his attributes. No increase, but he clearly felt that his control over his own power had reached a balance. This is the difference between having and not having a cultivation method.
If it was before, he would need running, jumping, boxing, and other ways to adapt to the body's speed and strength, requiring at least several hours. But now, through this cultivation, he achieved in just over ten minutes what previously took hours.
However, Wang Zhan also discovered a problem, he was feeling hungry, even extremely hungry! This was a manifestation of the body's essence energy and vital energy being absorbed. Cultivation was really not something ordinary people could bear. This was just the beginning, and without a large amount of meat, supplements, or even Essence Pills' support, the human body couldn't keep up with the pace of cultivation. The ultimate result would be either crippling oneself through practice, or not daring to train much and just relying on time to accumulate.
That's also why there are few geniuses among the poor. Cultivation is hard, it requires resources to pile up. That's also why martial artists must fight. Martial artists not only fight beasts, not only fight for the Human Race, they fight for themselves too; don't fight, then be ready to fall behind, falling behind means getting beaten!
...
The arena was set, Zhao Hao leaped gently, spun in place, and gracefully landed on the arena. Just like his brother Zhao Xu, they were both so elegant and extraordinary.
"Bro! Watch out for his traps!" Zhao Xu couldn't help but remind while watching below.
Wang Zhan took a look and also leaped, flipping in mid-air, leveraging himself on the edge of the arena, and landed steadily on it.
"Level 7 Martial Student! I must say, at your age, reaching this level is quite impressive. I also know you held back when sparring with Xiao Xu. However, you should not insult resource martial artists. I must teach you a lesson." Zhao Hao started lecturing.
Wang Zhan grinned, "Warrior Zhao Hao, I must say, although your mouth never stops, and you're a bit overbearing, and somewhat annoying, you are quite honorable! What about teaching lessons, you just want to regain face, don't you? From childhood, your Boss Wang here has cut through the eight blocks, never once have I been intimidated. Bring it on, and I'll only tell you this: Zhao Xu asked for it. Had I really been ruthless, it wouldn't have ended with just a fracture. You might as well have been visiting him at the crematorium. As for the rest, bring it on and I'll take it all."
"You really don't know how high the sky is." Zhao Hao's face darkened instantly. He said in a deep voice, "Come on! Let's see what you've got."
Wang Zhan moved directly, his form swift. The arena, dozens of meters wide, was traversed almost instantly. His fist extended, not directly aiming at Zhao Hao's chest but went for a side hook instead.
The sound of the fist wind howling, with a hint of sonic boom. This is a manifestation of strength and speed.
Upon seeing this, Principal Cao and Chen Ping's faces changed. Principal Cao, being a high-level martial artist, immediately said, "This kid, he's not level 7 Martial Student, his strength is probably at level 9 Martial Student."
Chen Ping showed a look of delight: "Is this speed 50 meters per second? It should be. Look at the sonic boom created by his fist. Probably no less than two tons of force. This overall combat power!"
"5000!" Principal Cao spoke, then added, "At least that number upward."
Wang Zhan's fist had already hit Zhao Hao's shoulder. Zhao Hao really wasn't bluffing. He said he was suppressing himself to the Martial Student realm and indeed he was. He never expected Wang Zhan's strength to be at the peak of the Martial Student level. At the moment, he was also surprised, how could this be? How could such a demon appear in the slum? Are you sure this isn't the descendant of a Grandmaster?
Took a solid punch, Zhao Hao was fine. But Wang Zhan was already grinning in pain. Zhao Hao did suppress his strength, but his physical toughness was still at the Warrior level. Although he couldn't be said to have steel-like muscles and bones, it was not something a Martial Student could compare with. There's a difference of two major realms.
Just as Wang Zhan's fists came like raindrops, Zhao Hao easily blocked them down and then retreated several meters: "That's enough!"
At this moment, Wang Zhan was also very satisfied. His attributes were already maxed out.
Host: Wang Zhan
Strength: 200
Agility: 200
Physique: 200
Charm: 25
Wisdom: 10
And they were no longer increasing. This indicated that the next step would be to break through to the Martial Artist realm. There were still about ten days left until the college entrance examination. If I try hard, perhaps there is this hope.
"No need to fight anymore." Zhao Hao said.
A smile appeared on his face, then he turned his head towards Zhao Xu and said, "You! Get over here now!"
Zhao Xu was completely stunned, pointing at himself, looking bewildered: "Bro, you mean me? I am your younger brother."
Zhao Hao glared and said, "Exactly you. Depending on my strength, your starting point is much better than the average person. You always feel superior. But remember, there are always heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people! If Wang Zhan really went all out, then I might have to stand up for you. But he didn't even put forth all his effort. With his level 9 Martial Student strength, wanting to kill you would be just a matter of one move."
Saying this, Zhao Hao said solemnly, "A Martial Artist must fight, that's right. But remember this phrase, the Human Race shall never be slaves! Without the unity and cooperation of human ancestors, do you think you could live this comfortably? That's a daydream. Once you truly step onto the battlefield, you'll understand the importance of fellow humans. Now, quickly apologize, apologize to Student Wang Zhan!"
Principal Cao let out a long sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Zhao Hao would be unreasonable. His position couldn't stop him. Maybe Zhao Hao would be punished afterward, but that's only after the fact. Moreover, he might not even be punished. A thirty-year-old level 1 Warrior compared to a dead Martial Student is simply incomparable.
"Mr. Zhao, you are something!" Principal Cao gave a thumbs up. At this moment, he truly wasn't flattering, but was genuinely admiring from the heart.
"I'm sorry!" Zhao Xu said with tears in his eyes, full of grievances. Completely like a bullied brat being forced by his family to apologize. Then Zhao Xu looked at Wang Zhan: "Wang Zhan, don't get too proud. I, Zhao Xu, won't admit defeat. I will definitely surpass you. I will reclaim today's shame."
Wang Zhan also somewhat admired Zhao Hao. Unconsciously, he thought of his sister. Perhaps this is why the Human Race can continue to exist. Maybe there are this or that kind of contradictions and conflicts. But in the face of great rights and wrongs, everyone is working hard. This is the fundamental reason for the Human Race's continuation.
"Forget it!" Wang Zhan waved his hand, saying: "Actually, it's also my fault. What's done is done. Don't mention it anymore."
"Wang Zhan, you are really good! However, you should start learning some martial arts now. Your talent is strong. If possible, I suggest you go to Shen State Martial Arts Academy! But, everyone in Shen State Martial Arts Academy is a genius. Even if you're good, it could be somewhat difficult. If you can sign an employment agreement with our Federation Weapons Group, I can make the decision to give you 200,000 yuan plus two bottles of Essence Pills."
This was an attempt to win him over, Zhao Hao is quite a person. No wonder he could become a Warrior. Not to mention being broad-minded but also able to judge quickly and place bets in advance. This treatment, not to mention students, even Principal Cao was somewhat shocked.
However, Wang Zhan shook his head and said, "Thanks, but I don't need it."
At this moment, Wang Zhan's mind recalled Wang Qi, you must live! You must live!
