Training ground.

Li Weifeng’s countenance was extremely gloomy. His strategy had failed.

And not only did he fail to stop Xia Qingchen from entering the martial pavilion, but he also successfully let the other party bear grudges toward him.

What was even worse was that Xia Qingchen’s talent was truly terrifying.

In a short three months, he had reached the seventh radiance-level from the third.

A cold light flickered in Li Weifeng’s eyes.

Next, they got a new training puppet and the test-takers continued with their examination.

But there was no one else who could achieve what Xia Qingchen did. A truly resplendent and dazzling genius had appeared.

In the end, Li Weifeng announced, “For this examination ranking, we will only announce the top three.”

The rankings were in the form of a list that was pasted at the entrance of the training ground for all to see.

“Third place, Chen Wei!”

“Second place, Liu Yiyi!”

“First place… Xia Qingchen!” He announced it extremely unwillingly.

Just when he finished announcing, Chen Wei stepped out.

A look of intense reluctance was painted on his scarred face. “I’m not willing to accept this. There are clear suspicions that Xia Qingchen has cheated, so his examination result should be rendered invalid!”

“I’m unwilling to accept this as well!” Liu Yiyi’s face was cold.

The first place ought to belong to her!

Li Weifeng looked forward to the happenings. He asked, “What do you all want to do then?”

The two of them simultaneously spoke, “Compete in a fight!”

This time, it was naturally not fighting against the training puppet, but against them!

Li Weifeng didn’t say anything. He glanced at the backstage, waiting for the upper echelons to make a decision.

The Vice Headmaster fell silent.

He believed that Xia Qingchen hadn’t cheated. However, he missed the scene where Xia Qingchen had sent the training puppet flying with his kick, and he wanted to see Xia Qingchen’s strength with his own eyes.

“Agree!”

Upon receiving the approval, Li Weifeng glanced at Xia Qingchen. “You don’t have the authority to reject this. You have to accept the battle.”

When Xia Qingchen heard this, he was first as quiet as a tranquil cloud, then shot out like a fleeing rabbit!

He actually took the initiative to attack!

And the target he chose was Chen Wei.

“Cheating bastard. Kneel for me!” Chen Wei circulated his inner force. He didn’t retreat but chose to advance for a head-on clash instead.

At the instant before their clash, Chen Wei’s right fist was like a hook, aiming for Xia Qingchen’s chin.

Xia Qingchen stretched out a finger and casually tapped his shoulder.

Chen Wei who was rapidly rushing over was blasted backward with an even faster speed.

At the same time, a light sound echoed out. It was the cracking sound of a shoulder bone!

With a loud thud, Chen Wei smashed into the ground and started to howl in pain.

“Can’t even withstand a single strike,” Xia Qingchen calmly spoke.

Turning his body, he attacked Liu Yiyi with the tip of his foot.

Chen Wei was defeated in one move, and this caused Liu Yiyi to be extremely vigilant. She released an inner force that was close to silver in color.

This was the indication of someone at the seventh radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.

It turned out that she had already broken through to the seventh radiance-level during her seclusion.

During the first test, she had hidden her strength, choosing not to reveal it.

But now she had no choice but to display it!

“Stop being arrogant!” Liu Yiyi’s expression was covered in frost. At the same time, she executed the martial skill passed down by her clan – the {Wind Cloud Snow]!

This was a low-grade yellow-tier finger technique, and the might it could unleash was not weak at all.

Her jade-like fingertips contained the inner force of someone at the seventh radiance-level. As long as they came in contact with the enemy’s body, she could use her inner force to damage the interior of her opponent’s body, causing huge damage to their organs.

However, she didn’t expect that Xia Qingchen had also executed a martial skill.

And what was so coincidental was that it was also a finger technique!

“Nine Plum Blossoms Bloomed!” When facing ordinary enemies, there was no need to unleash the immensely powerful Fire Phoenix Illuminates the Sky. Just a move from [Traversing Snow, Flowering Plum] would do.

Pu, pu, pu~

Nine streams of inner force shot out, blasting Liu Yiyi through the air.
