Zhao Hao's face froze for a moment; he truly hadn't expected Wang Zhan to be so bold. Just a mere martial student, yet he dared to speak this way to someone at his warrior realm.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Zhao Hao asked in a deep voice.
Wang Zhan laughed heartily: "Why fear death? Everyone dies! It's just the difference between a battlefield and a city. Since Warrior Zhao has this kind of thought, then bring it on. I've never been afraid since I was young."
At this moment, Principal Cao spoke in a deep voice: "Warrior Zhao Hao, I will definitely report this matter to the authorities."
Zhao Hao laughed loudly: "Such courage! Young people like this are rare. Principal Cao, you can rest assured. I won't take his life."
At this point, Zhao Hao looked at Wang Zhan and said, "You're not wrong. Martial artists dare to fight, and martial artists must fight! The human race can continue and resist precisely because countless ancestors dared to fight, for the slim chance of survival of the human race. Striving for a breath of fresh air and rise. If I were in such a situation, I couldn't bear it either."
Saying this, Zhao Hao turned to look at Zhao Xu: "Xiao Xu, what you did was not right. You started this issue yourself."
"Brother!" Zhao Xu's face was full of grievance; I called you to avenge me, and now you're scolding me.
Zhao Hao ignored Zhao Xu's grievance and looked at Wang Zhan again: "But!"
This "but" made everyone quiet. Zhao Hao continued: "Not being able to bear it is one thing. But your strength is clearly above Zhao Xu's, and you went all out; that's your fault. Do you know the impact of making him repeat a year? You've cut off his future prospects."
"I won't make it difficult for you, today just compete with one of my men. Don't say I'm bullying the weak; my man's strength will be suppressed to the martial student realm, and he won't use martial arts. If you can still stand, the matter will end. But if you also get a fracture, that's your own doing. Do you dare?"
Wang Zhan felt reassured, he gambled correctly. Just now, Wang Zhan dared to speak this way because he was gambling that Principal Cao wouldn't ignore it and that Zhao Hao wouldn't act recklessly. It seems his gamble paid off now.
Strength suppressed to the martial student realm. No martial arts. Isn't this just giving me attributes?
"Haha, of course I dare. Bring it on. Don't just send one; I'm not afraid of a tag team match! The human race will never be enslaved. There's no way Boss Wang would kneel and beg for life." Wang Zhan laughed heartily and said proudly.
"Boss is too terrific. How does he dare? At this moment, it's okay to give in a bit." Lin Qiang said regretfully.
Beside him, Deng Chaofan was full of disdain: "If you went to the battlefield, you'd be a disgrace to the human race. Martial artists dare to fight. That's the true heroic spirit. If everyone thought like you, we would have ceased to exist long ago."
"If Wang Zhan dies, I'll definitely kill the Zhao brothers!" Yao Yao suddenly said sullenly. Seeing Deng Chaofan looking at her, Yao Yao continued: "Even if I become a criminal of the human race, I'm not afraid!"
At this moment, Zhao Hao exclaimed loudly: "Students, make way, let's clear a space for us."
Principal Cao, with a somber face, waved his hand: "Back off!"
He had no choice. Zhao Hao was right. Martial artists cannot be insulted. And the family of martial artists are even more protected. This is the privilege granted by the Federation. If even families cannot live safely, who will protect the human race! He couldn't stop this. Moreover, with Wang Zhan admitting to it, he could only try to save Wang Zhan's life. Just now, saying Wang Qi is a level 5 martial artist was also implying this. Just to tell Zhao Hao that Wang Zhan is also a martial artist's family member, so your privilege is discounted.
With the school's order, a large area of the martial arts field was quickly cleared out, and students were driven up to the stands of the martial arts field.
Zhao Hao waved lightly, and a man about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old stepped forward: "Taozi, it's your turn."
Taozi smiled smugly and walked out easily: "Brother Hao, don't worry. We'll handle this for little Xu properly. He won't be wronged."
At this moment, Wang Zhan started taking small steps. He had just recently started studying the cultivation guide. Naturally, he knew nothing about martial arts. What he could use now was boxing. In fact, he hadn't received professional training in boxing, only learned some superficial skills from school over the years.
Seeing Wang Zhan hopping around like this, not only Taozi but everyone Zhao Hao brought started laughing out loud.
Someone even said directly: "Taozi, be careful. These small steps are quite nimble."
Taozi didn't care. Although the realm would be controlled, the physique was still the strength of a martial artist, which was unavoidable. The difference was more than one realm.
Walking straight up, Taozi also adopted a boxing stance. They pressed their fists against each other.
At this moment, a prompt sounded in Wang Zhan's mind: Strength +7
It was effective! Now it seems that this kind of sparring is also a way to increase attributes. If I went to the Martial Arts Academy, wouldn't those seniors, even teachers, always spar with me for rapid attribute growth?
But just as he thought of this, a prompt sounded in his mind again: "Wishful thinking!"
At this moment, Taozi moved. As the wind from his fist approached, Wang Zhan made an emergency dodge, then punched with a swinging fist directly at Taozi's body—Agility +9.
This... this isn't right. Wang Qi is also a Martial Artist, but it's clear that Wang Qi's physical strength is much more formidable. The combat power is simply not comparable to this person now. Could this be what my sister referred to as a resource Martial Artist on drugs?
No time to think too deeply, Taozi's attack came again. Wang Zhan dodged left and right, managing to skillfully fend off Taozi's offensive, and launched a counterattack when Taozi relaxed. A series of combination punches followed. The fists collided solidly, with as many as a dozen punches exchanged.
He naturally heard a series of prompts about attribute growth.
Zhao Hao comes from the Federation Weapons Group. I remember that introduction just now. Wang Zhan immediately understood. Now that makes sense. The four major groups of the Federation: the Federal Pharmaceutical Group, the Federation Weapons Group, the Federal Science and Technology Group, and the Federal Food Group!
These are all auxiliary work. What is the function of the Weapons Group? Simply to provide weapons and armors for Martial Artists. Such groups are incredibly wealthy. It's normal to have resource Martial Artists. Ordinary people cannot go to the battlefield. Therefore, resource Martial Artists are most abundant within the Weapons Group and Pharmaceutical Group.
With a large wave of attribute enhancements, Wang Zhan became more at ease. He took a moment to check the attributes panel:
Host: Wang Zhan
Strength: 156
Agility: 172
Physique: 163
Charm: 25
Wisdom: 10
Indeed, fighting is exhilarating. As long as there's fighting, there's excitement. The Zhao brothers are truly good people. How long has it been, and the attributes have increased so much.
From the side, a punch gust came, and Wang Zhan made a nimble sidestep, perfectly dodging the attack while extending his fist, landing solidly on Taozi. The attributes increased again.
"Ring ring ring!"
Suddenly, an urgent bell rang. Principal Cao stood directly out, blocking Taozi and Wang Zhan, and Principal Cao looked at Zhao Hao and said: "Mr. Zhao, time's up. You should fulfill your promise now."
Taozi at this moment no longer had the previous arrogance and ease, instead appearing somewhat embarrassed. He gave Wang Zhan a vicious glare. He walked in front of Zhao Hao: "Brother Hao, I..."
He couldn't continue. Zhao Hao waved his hand and said: "It's okay, we were too careless. I didn't expect that someone from a mere No. 33 Middle School could be such a genius. His strength is definitely not just that of a level 1 Martial Student. I see at least a level 7 Martial Student realm. You were suppressing your realm. This result is very normal."
"Wang Zhan! I remember you. Let's leave it at that." Zhao Hao said slowly.
But, unexpectedly to Zhao Hao, Wang Zhan sneered and said: "It's just a Martial Artist on drugs. That's nothing."
Wang Zhan said this intentionally; he was really reluctant to give up these walking attributes. Resource Martial Artists, ah. In the future, as levels increase, there won't be such opportunities. Knowing the system's nature, it won't allow too many loopholes to exploit.
Furthermore, resource Martial Artists are generally at lower levels. Few above the Martial General level appear. You could say, once this village is passed, there's no such shop.
More importantly, Wang Zhan was eager to enhance his strength. Wang Qi's matters, along with changes in this year's College Entrance Examination, and the emergence of an entirely new comprehensive combat power evaluation system—all these things combined give people a very bad feeling.
"Wang Zhan!" Principal Cao and Teacher Chen shouted almost simultaneously.
Principal Cao glanced fiercely at Chen Jun: "Look at what kind of student you've taught? This courage is too great. Who gave him the courage to say that?"
Chen Jun also smiled bitterly. Wang Zhan had broken the taboo. Resource Martial Artists are most afraid of being called on drugs.
"Mr. Zhao! You are a distinguished Warrior. Do not hold the past against a mere individual. Besides, the College Entrance Examination is approaching. Wang Zhan is the seed contestant of our school. If anything happens, it won't be easy for us either." At this moment, Chen Jun stood out, forcing himself to speak.
Beside them, Principal Cao, Wang Zhan, Li Cheng, and others all changed their expressions. Principal Cao was full of worries, and Chen Jun was too straightforward. Although he used honorifics, who is Zhao Hao, anyway? That is a level 1 Warrior. Not someone Chen Jun, as a Martial Artist, can challenge. Saying it's not easy—it's like pouring oil on the fire, isn't it?
Li Cheng, however, looked excited. Chen Ping was getting confused about his priorities and was in some disorder. Truly nonsensical, and still speaking like this before Zhao Hao. Even if Zhao Hao didn't want trouble, for the sake of face, he would have to put up a strong front.
Principal Cao was thoroughly speechless. If Zhao Hao could endure this, then how could he ever maintain face? Resource Martial Artists are also Martial Artists, aren't they? Moreover, he's still a Warrior.
Sure enough, Zhao Hao and the others looked very displeased, and Zhao Hao stepped forward: "Haha. Very well, drug-users, huh? Since you look down on drug-users, let's test that."
Said Zhao Hao, looking at Chen Jun, extremely solemnly: "Teacher Chen, you can see it too. It's not that I'm not magnanimous; it's Brother Wang's relentlessness. If I don't stand up to clear our name, by the time it spreads around, we won't be able to bear it either."
