Dong Fang’s small interlude did not affect the progress of the class. Torriman quickly announced that they would begin to draw lots to determine the order of the qualifiers.
When the results of the draw were out, some people were happy while others were sad.
The happy people were naturally because they had drawn a good draw and would not encounter any powerful enemies. The unlucky ones were naturally those who had drawn a powerful opponent that they could not match.
The draw Dong Fang drew was neither good nor bad. His first round opponent was a classmate with the standard of a second-stage Overlord Body. With his third-stage Overlord Body cultivation, it would not be a surprise if he won.
However, he would encounter a classmate who was also at the third-stage Overlord Body in the second round. It would be hard to say who would win.
As for Chu Nan…
When the result of Chu Nan’s drawing was out, Dong Fang’s fat body immediately jumped up as if he had a spring.
“Damn! There must be a conspiracy!”
According to the result of the draw, Chu Nan’s first opponent was actually Luo Li!
Seeing this result, Luo Li, who was sitting in the front row, turned around. His gaze met Chu Nan and he revealed a cold smile.
This time, he had to make this kid embarrass himself in front of all his classmates!
When he sensed Luo Li’s gaze, Chu Nan lowered his head and looked at him before staring at an important part of his body for a while and revealing a different smile.
In the virtual space, during the dozens of battles where Chu Nan tortured Luo Li, he had crippled that important part of his body countless times.
In reality, should he do the same?
…
The qualifiers of the various grades of the West Cloud Academy were currently in full swing in their respective personal combat arenas. At the same time, in the wide room of the dean at the top of the Central Building of the West Cloud Academy, more than ten people sat down and stared at a huge virtual screen hanging in the middle.
The two people in the middle were West Cloud Academy’s Dean Feng Ansheng. The other was Mu Yutong, who had arrived at the academy yesterday.
Beside the two of them were no longer some of the officials of the West Cloud Planet, including the Planetary Executive Officer. Instead, it was a firm-looking middle-aged man and some young people.
At this moment, the screen was divided into four areas. What was playing was the qualifiers of the four grades that were currently underway.
“Mr. Mu, how do you think the students of our Martial Arts Branch performed?” Dean Feng pointed at the screen and asked Mu Yutong with a smile.
Mu Yutong nodded lightly, “The students of your esteemed academy are indeed all talented and outstanding martial artists.”
Hearing Mu Yutong’s praise, Dean Feng laughed, “Thank you for your praise, Mr. Mu. However, no matter how outstanding these students are, they can’t be compared to your students.”
Dean Feng twisted his head back, his gaze landing on the few young men who did not look more than 20 years old sitting behind Mu Yutong, “Those young talents are true geniuses.”
The few young people revealed proud smiles at the same time. The oldest young man in front bowed slightly to Dean Feng and said, “Dean Feng, you’re too polite. We only have our current achievements because we followed our teacher. In fact, our talent can’t be considered outstanding.”
“Haha, Mr. Mu, this student of yours is really good with words.” Dean Feng smiled and turned around. He glanced at the large screen and suddenly moved his hand. The upper right corner of the screen suddenly enlarged and filled the entire screen, “Mr. Mu, look. This is the martial arts genius I mentioned to you yesterday, Luo Li. He’s already a fifth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist.”
Before Mu Yutong could say anything, a slight sneer suddenly sounded from the disciples behind him.
“Tsk, a fifth-stage Overlord Body is already considered a genius?”
Dean Feng’s expression changed as he glanced at the disciples. He saw that their expressions were a little disapproving and was immediately furious.
However, when he saw that Mu Yutong did not show any reaction, Dean Feng could only suppress his anger in his heart and pretend not to hear this. He continued to point at the large screen and introduce to Mu Yutong, “Look, the person walking on stage is Luo Li.”
Mu Yutong glanced at the large screen and nodded lightly, “Yes, not bad. To be able to walk so firmly at such a young age and achieve unity of body and mind, he can indeed be called a genius. It seems that your esteemed academy…” Mu Yutong’s expression suddenly changed, and his expression was slightly surprised, “Eh? Who’s his opponent?”
Just as Dean Feng was feeling proud of Mu Yutong’s praise for Luo Li, he heard him suddenly ask about the opponent. He immediately looked up at the large screen and saw a student with an ordinary figure and no characteristics walking into the venue.
“This is…” Dean Feng did not recognize this student. He could only turn around and cast his questioning gaze at the middle-aged man beside him.
This middle-aged man was the dean of the West Cloud Academy’s Martial Arts Branch, Luo Yuntong. When he heard Mu Yutong’s question, he focused his gaze on the large screen for a moment and thought for a moment before nodding, “This is a student from the second grade’s third class. His name is Chu Nan, and he’s only an initial-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist.”
“Initial-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist?” Dean Feng was stunned. He sighed and said, “What a pity. If it was a stronger opponent, he would be able to better showcase Luo Li’s strength. Initial-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist… the gap between them is too great.”
Mu Yutong smiled lightly, “Dean Feng, who can know the outcome of a battle between martial artists until the last moment?”
Dean Feng looked at Mu Yutong in surprise, thinking to himself, ‘You’re a Star-Grade Martial Artist, so how can you not know the difference between an initial-stage Overlord Body and a fifth-stage Overlord Body? Will there be any suspense in this battle?’
How could Mu Yutong not know what Dean Feng was thinking? However, as a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he naturally did not need to worry about what Dean Feng thought. After saying this, he stared at the large screen.
Be it Luo Li or Chu Nan, he did not understand them at all. However, with his powerful strength and outstanding vision as a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he could even determine a person’s strength through the most ordinary movements.
He was certain that this student called Chu Nan’s strength was definitely not as simple as an initial-stage Overlord Body!
…
In the arena, Chu Nan and Luo Li stood facing each other.
Luo Li glanced at Chu Nan and suddenly smiled before spreading his hands.
“Heh, Chu Nan, there’s really no meaning in bullying you. I’ll be more generous and give you a chance to admit defeat. What do you think?”
The dozen or so students who were on good terms with Luo Li roared with laughter.
“Admit defeat, virgin. Otherwise, it won’t look good if you get beaten up by Boss Luo Li.”
“That’s right. You can’t even compare to a finger of Boss Luo Li. Why waste time?”
“Hurry up and admit defeat. We still have to watch the next round.”
…
When he heard the mockery of Luo Li and the surrounding people, Chu Nan did not feel any anger in his heart. Instead, he wore a relaxed smile and looked at them calmly.
This was a group of clowns.
When he recalled how Dong Fang had nervously grabbed him before entering the arena and instructed him to immediately surrender if he felt that he could not hold on, Chu Nan could not help but smile. He glanced at Luo Li and the others before turning to Torriman.
“Instructor, let’s begin.”
He actually ignored these people.
Torriman originally wanted to use his authority as a teacher to berate those students, but when he saw that Chu Nan did not seem to be affected, he could not help but be stunned. Only then did he nod and announce the start of the competition.
As soon as Torriman finished speaking, Luo Li immediately bounced up and shot towards Chu Nan.
Chu Nan’s earlier attitude had completely angered him. He had already made up his mind and would definitely not give him a chance to admit defeat. He had to defeat this guy in a single exchange.
Before this competition, he had already obtained news from Dean Feng that Mu Yutong would watch this competition through a live broadcast. Therefore, he had to show his strongest aspect in this competition. Only then could he strive to leave a good impression on Mu Yutong and become his disciple.
Therefore, from the beginning, Luo Li had already used his full strength. What he wanted to do was to use his unstoppable might to instantly defeat Chu Nan!
