Zhao Jie laughed. "Elder, rest assured. Dealing with that kid will be as easy as flipping my hand."
He was thrilled. Even the Dean had come to this month-end assessment. If he performed well, he might win the Dean's attention. If the Dean is pleased enough to take me as his disciple, I'll soar to new heights.
Soon, the assessment began.
Elder Feng announced, "The first match: Lin Xuan versus Zhao Jie."
This declaration caused many to exclaim in surprise, not expecting Lin Xuan to be the first one to fight. Soon, the two combatants walked into the center of the arena.
Zhao Jie looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Kid, just surrender now. You're no match for me. I've also mastered Xuan-rank Martial Arts, and my cultivation has already reached the peak of the Ninth Grade. I'm just one step away from becoming a Martial General. What do you possibly have to contend with me?"
Hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar. They hadn't expected Zhao Jie's strength to be this formidable.
