I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"He's the kind of genius who can climb stairs quickly. He wasn't originally at the level of 8,000 floors. Reaching this floor is just a transition... Quickly cast a 'praise vote' to send him up to the expert zone, so he won't harm the lower-level people."

"He's already won two, one more win and he can move up... Who will go?"

Listening to the discussions among the onlookers, Xue Jing looked towards the arena.

A young man dressed in a worn black martial arts uniform, with an extremely fierce face and an aura of malevolence emanating from his body, stood on it, maintaining a punching stance.

There was a very noticeable indented scar on the corner of his left eye, which looked like it was caused by a blow from a strong blunt object.

What kind of vote do you want to cast?

Xuan Ling spoke into Xue Jing's ear.

"After watching a match, onlookers can vote for the winner. There are three categories: 'Appreciation,' 'Average,' and 'Poor.' If the winner receives more than 80% of the appreciation votes in this level of the competition, they can advance to the next level..."

The holographic image took shape in front of Xue Jing, presenting three options.

He casually pressed 'normal', then stepped forward and slowly walked up the stairs leading to the arena.

The emergence of a new challenger has drawn everyone's attention to Xue Jing.

"After seeing what just happened, someone actually dared to go up there... Hmm? So young, is he a minor?"

"Wait a minute, what a magnificent face... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

On the stage, Zhao Longtu's gaze also shifted to Xue Jing.

His fierce eyes were almost overflowing with malevolence, making him look like a demon from hell, enough to scare a child on the street to tears at first glance.

On the arena, orange light membranes flickered, and holographic images appeared in the air.

Challenger: Xue Jing

Zhao Longtu remained expressionless, looked at Xue Jing, and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Xue Jing... are you ready?"

He didn't seem to recognize that the person in front of him was the examiner for his martial arts exam.

Xue Jing gently patted his sleeve, feeling that he had regained some of his energy, and said with a smile in his eyes:

"Okay, ready."

Upon hearing Xue Jing's words, Zhao Longtu did not immediately make a move. Instead, he frowned and said:

"Are you feeling unwell?"

His tone of voice sounded strange. It should have been a normal tone of voice, but it came out as if he was angry, with a sense of irritability that made everyone who spoke to him frown.

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing asked curiously, "Why do you think that?"

Although his physical and mental state was indeed much worse than when he was at his peak because he had just undergone testing and used a series of serious punches.

But given his ability to conceal his aura, he shouldn't have been able to detect it.

Zhao Longtu said calmly, "There's no basis for it, it's just a feeling."

Xue Jing nodded and said, "I see. You're the kind of person with strong intuition."

There are some people in this world who can sense certain situations inexplicably, as if by divine revelation, without relying on any apparent information... Xue Jing has encountered quite a few such people, the typical example being Otogisuka.

Lu Sang's intuition has almost reached the level of a superpower... perhaps it should be called 'super intuition' or 'super intuitive'.

"Since I was right, let's call it a day. I don't want to win unfairly."

Zhao Longtu retracted his fist stance and shook his head.

"Since you're in such poor condition, why pretend you're ready? Go down. If you want to fight me, come find me on a higher floor when you're in better shape."

Xue Jing was somewhat surprised.

This person clearly looked like someone with severe bipolar disorder, but surprisingly, he was quite virtuous in martial arts.

He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Zhao, your intuition is strong, but not strong enough."

Zhao Longtu squinted and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xue Jing flexed his wrists.

"Your intuition is very accurate. I am indeed in very poor condition right now, and I may not even be able to exert one-tenth of my strength at my peak."

“But when I say ‘I’m ready,’ I’m not lying.”

"Even if a lion is seriously ill, it doesn't need to wait until it recovers to take down a kitten."

Xue Jing said softly:

"Unfortunately, your intuition isn't strong enough to perceive the difference between us."

These seemingly obvious yet absurd words left Zhao Longtu and the martial artists watching the battle around them stunned.

"Damn, who is this guy? He's so pretentious... But I have to admit, he's a bit of a jerk."

"He spoke so matter-of-factly... It felt like he genuinely thought that way, and that's why he said it, not just trying to show off... Could he really be a ruthless person?"

"It's hard to say. He looks to be about the same age as Zhao Longtu. No matter how strong he is, it's impossible for him to beat Zhao Longtu when he can't even use one-tenth of his strength, right?"

"You actually believe him? My friend said he only used three-thousandths of his strength when he fought you the day before yesterday."

"This is Xue Jing! You don't recognize him? He's not in the entertainment industry. I've seen his videos, he's really impressive!"

On the arena, Zhao Longtu's eyes were filled with anger:

"...Fine, I'm too lazy to say more. I've already said what I wanted to say. If you insist on putting on a show, then let's fight. You'll bear the consequences!"

He suddenly changed his stance, adopting a strange boxing posture.

With one arm raised high above his head, fist pointing forward like a single horn, and body leaning forward and crouching low, he resembled a frenzied bull about to charge, exuding an extremely impressive and wild aura.

"Oh! Here it comes, this is the 'Asura Rhinoceros Stance' trained using the True Form lineage's methods!"

"He started with a deadly move right away. It seems Zhao Longtu took those words to heart and really values ​​his opponent!"

"This is going to be good. The 'Asura Rhinoceros Force' that has been activated is unstoppable in its head-on charge. Since this person is not in good condition, it is probably impossible for him to block it head-on. But if he wants to dodge... anyone who thinks that way is already lying in the medical area."

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhao Longtu made a move.

In an instant, the air exploded and a shockwave suddenly spread out from where Zhao Longtu was. He disappeared from his original spot and appeared in front of Xue Jing without almost anyone seeing him.

The speed was unbelievably fast, with almost no initial movement. It looked like a bullet fired from a gun, instantly changing from extreme stillness to extreme motion, quite sudden and difficult to defend against.

If a high-speed camera were to capture this moment and play it in slow motion, it would be discovered that the air currents swirling around Zhao Longtu's body had transformed into a giant, transparent rhinoceros that was visible to the naked eye, with its fist, which was taller than its head, corresponding to the rhinoceros's horn.

The fist, as sharp as a rhinoceros horn, suddenly thrust forward, and in Xue Jing's eyes, the dark golden vertical pupils flickered slightly.

——The eyes are flowing.

In his eyes, time seemed to slow down, and Zhao Longtu slowly approached him. Lines and dots representing weaknesses and vulnerabilities appeared and disappeared all over his body.

Xue Jing hadn't used the "Flaw Insight" effect of his "See Through the Eyes" skill for a long time.

After his strength began to take off, his battles were basically all about overwhelming the opponent with sheer power, without needing to use his "eye-piercing technique"... and against opponents who were too strong, even his "eye-piercing technique" couldn't see their weaknesses or flaws.

Now, having just unleashed a series of serious punches with all his might, he is in a rare state of weakness, making it difficult for him to suppress Zhao Longtu's offensive with overwhelming force.

Or rather, even if it could be done, the scene wouldn't be very pleasant... it would likely turn into a brief, evenly matched struggle.

Even if he wins in the end, even if he is in a weakened state at this moment, it is still unacceptable to Xue Jing.

This goes against his idea of ​​establishing the authority of a teacher.

In that case, we might as well use the long-unused Eye Flow feature to make a clever use of it.

As his martial arts skills deepened and he practiced the Yellow Woman's Technique for internal organ refinement, Xue Jing's liver became far stronger than before.

A strong liver leads to clear vision, and at this moment, when he unleashed his Eye Flow technique, the effect was extraordinary.

His already extremely powerful and extraordinary vision was enhanced by the "Aiming" ability, and with the addition of the Eye Flow, the field of vision in front of him slowed down to an extreme, as if he had truly gained the superpower of "bullet time".

Countless dots and lines representing weaknesses and vulnerabilities appeared and disappeared intermittently. Just as Zhao Longtu's 'rhinoceros horn' was about to touch Xue Jing's body, he finally moved.

His right hand stretched out slowly but quickly, grabbing Zhao Longtu's wrist. As if predicted, the moment Xue Jing grabbed his wrist, a barely perceptible 'point' suddenly appeared there.

—Flawless!

The martial arts technique, which is the most exquisite in the world, and the ultimate calculation ability of humankind, allowed Xue Jing to calculate in advance, after a series of complex calculations, that there would be a flaw in Zhao Longtu's application of force at a certain position on his wrist.

"Snapped--!"

With a flick of his wrist, Zhao Longtu's eyes widened in shock.

The body, which was originally a solid, unified force, was like a seemingly insignificant brick being removed from a perfectly sturdy castle.

Then—it collapsed with a crash.

A tiny flaw, so subtle that even he himself hadn't noticed it, was exploited by Xue Jing's force. Then, like dominoes, the tiny flaw caused the flow of other forces to malfunction, and these malfunctions led to even more malfunctions...

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest.

Amidst the crackling sounds, Zhao Longtu's killing move dissipated, and the formed, transparent Asura Rhinoceros seemed to let out a silent lament before vanishing into the air.

Xue Jing grabbed Zhao Longtu's wrist, which was in disarray, and with a casual twist and turn, made him spin like a top, lifting him off the ground and making him spin rapidly in the air.

Then, as if picking up a tattered piece of clothing, she grabbed him and slammed him to the ground.

"boom--!!"

With a loud bang, the arena, protected by the SC force field, remained intact, while Zhao Longtu, whose chin had touched the ground, lost consciousness as his neck tilted to the side.

There was silence.

The incident started suddenly and ended too quickly; no one had time to react.

After a few seconds.

"Huh...? What happened?"

"The knot... is over?"

The martial artists watching the fight stared blankly at the handsome young man standing on the arena whose clothes were not disheveled, and Zhao Longtu lying motionless on the ground, sleeping soundly.

Xue Jing scratched his head:
