Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Lower, lower.

It kept dropping.

Seeing that Lei She had already fallen a whole step down, from the eighth level of intermediate strength to his current state of only the seventh level of intermediate strength.

Furthermore, his martial arts strength has also declined from the original advanced seventh rank to the low seventh rank.

And just like the previous mental levels, the descent has not stopped.

It is still falling.

However, in this situation, Rescher's own physical talents and aptitudes also suffered a certain degree of decline and limitation.

However, he was completely unaware of the situation he was in.

Furthermore, given the current situation, I have absolutely no ability to resolve it.

Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as his mental level and martial arts strength continued to decline.

However, this situation remained unchanged for two seconds.

In other words, in nearly three seconds, Reshe's mental level dropped by almost a whole level.

However, his martial arts strength dropped from the original advanced seventh rank to nearly the advanced sixth rank.

It has fallen below the seventh level.

Furthermore, Resher's overall talent and aptitude have also declined to some extent. This decline is lifelong and cannot be brought back in any meaningful way or through any action.

This kind of blow is quite fatal.

Still not listening?

Doesn't this punishment seem a bit too severe?

Xu Shanji imagined it in his mind.

Under the current circumstances, Rashe has gradually stopped declining in talent and aptitude.

His mental level and martial arts strength stopped their downward trend.

And under the current circumstances, it means that Lao Chen has finally stopped.

The pressure on Rescher has been eased.

Seeing that Lao Chen had finally relieved Lei She's pressure, Xu Shanji was relieved.

Ultimately, Lei She's punishment was to lower his spiritual level and martial arts level by one grade.

Resher snapped out of his daze.

In that instant, he felt like the sky was about to collapse.

He finally broke free from the oppressive weight of the mountain, but in that instant, he felt an unprecedented discomfort.

"this…"

Lei She was filled with regret. In that instant, he looked at the source of the power and saw it coming from Old Chen, who was standing next to Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei. The power was very unique and he would never forget it. It was Old Chen who had exerted it.

This was a warning to himself; what he had just done to Zhang Chaoqiang had completely crossed the line.

His choice also led to the consequences he is experiencing now.

Originally, his talent might have allowed him to cultivate to the ninth level or even higher in martial arts, and he also had the potential to break through to the ninth level in the spiritual realm, but now his level has not only been reduced.

His talent and aptitude have also declined to some extent, which has resulted in his potential in this lifetime being completely less than before.

There was no resentment, only endless regret.

He regretted everything he had done in a moment of anger.

He regretted the oppressive force he had used on Zhang Chaoqiang earlier.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng, who knew nothing, were indifferent and listless, looking utterly dejected.

They were all waiting for the final results to be announced, and at that moment, Gu Yizheng was no longer the only one looking dejected.

His teacher, Resher, accompanied him.

Of course, even if he felt endless bitterness in his heart, he dared not express it at this time.

Because doing so would likely result in consequences several times more severe, Resher could only grit his teeth and swallow the pain.

Immediately afterward, as he turned around, Lei She quickly performed a martial arts salute towards Old Chen in the audience.

He indicated that he knew he was wrong and fully accepted Lao Chen's punishment.

It wasn't that he was able to maintain his composure despite being severely weakened, but rather that he had no choice but to do so, especially in this situation where he had to show an attitude of admitting his mistakes and accepting punishment.

Only in this way can we avoid the other party settling scores with us again.

Just as Xu Shanji just said...

Resher rephrased that sentence verbatim.

"The final winner of this efficiency competition is Zhang Chaoqiang from Tianan City!"

When Lei She uttered these words, a group of high-ranking leaders in Tian'an City, as well as the principal of Yuhua Martial Arts School, erupted in unprecedented fervor.

Because they know exactly what that sentence means.

Zhang Chaoqiang, who won his second event final, now has two final victories.

They knew that this had already established Zhang Chaoqiang's extremely high chance of becoming the ultimate winner of the competition, that is, first place.

Tianan City is not a large place. Among the 123 cities in the entire Central Kingdom, its area and per capita MP (martial arts strength) are only at the bottom.

Previously, no one had been able to achieve any good rankings in so-called national competitions.

But this time was different; we finally got our revenge!

Chapter 266 Apology

Tianan City is a small city that, in the vast Central Country, can only be described as a third-tier city.

This can be considered as producing a national champion.

Although we haven't actually reached the national championship yet, this competition only has three events.

The first criterion was concentration, and Zhang Chaoqiang won the championship.

That is, first place.

The second project is efficiency. Currently, Gu Yizheng, who has clearly been hiding his true strength, has won first place in the efficiency competition.

There are three projects in total, and Zhang Chaoqiang has already won two. If nothing unexpected happens, he will also be able to win the third project.

Not to mention that they knew Zhang Chaoqiang could also achieve excellent results in the synthetic projects, even if he couldn't achieve first place like the other two projects...

Even if his score isn't too low, the overall championship of this national synthetic music competition is basically already in Zhang Chaoqiang's hands.

In other words, Zhang Chaoqiang will be able to win all the prizes, including the first prize.

And the biggest title, the overall championship, will not only be bestowed upon Zhang Chaoqiang, but Tian'an City will also shine alongside him in his glory.

Yuhua Martial Arts School, which "cultivated" champions like Zhang Chaoqiang, goes without saying; it is the epitome of glory.

Thinking of this, both the principal of Yuhua Martial Arts School and the high-level leaders of Tianan City were extremely excited.

However, unlike Tianan City, the only ones who were present were Lei She and a group of high-ranking officials from Zhongzhou City.

Seeing that Gu Yizheng, who had entered the synthetic space with Zhang Chaoqiang, had emerged unharmed, while the other was covered in wounds.

The clothes were also tattered, creating a stark contrast between the two.

For this reason, Gu Yizheng, who had been full of vigor, also restrained his previous arrogance.

However, with Gu Yizheng's willpower, he merely glanced indifferently at Zhang Chaoqiang. His composure would not be disturbed by today's humiliating defeat.

On the contrary, he will not only consider this battle as one of the most important battles to remember.

I reminded myself that this was a lesson I had learned, and I must never be careless again.

In the current situation, the audience members felt nothing but pity when faced with Gu Yizheng's gaze.

Thinking to himself, Gu Yizheng possesses such remarkable power and such a noble character…

It's such a pity that they were defeated by Zhang Chaoqiang.

However, Gu Yizheng never paid attention to their opinions, just as Zhang Chaoqiang did not care much about the gaze Gu Yizheng was giving him at the same time.

After all, there is a clear gap between the two.

The relationship between the two people is completely different now compared to when they were contestants.

The two of them stopped fighting each other altogether.

Zhang Chaoqiang learned about the underhanded tactics employed by the other side's connections, and Gu Yizheng, during the previous exchange, also clearly understood Zhang Chaoqiang's modus operandi and intentions…

The two have clearly established a rivalry, but Zhang Chaoqiang doesn't seem to care too much. His first-place position is practically a foregone conclusion.

The final battle for quality will depend on tomorrow's schedule!

Furthermore, he was no longer worried about Lei She doing anything underhanded, because firstly, Old Chen had clearly saved himself from Lei She's clutches, which should have been a reminder or warning to Lei She.

Tell the other party not to have any designs on you.

Secondly, my synthesis ability is too balanced. No matter how much the opponent tries to manipulate the competition rules, they will probably have a hard time overcoming my strength.

In addition, he won first place in two competitions. Even if he is in the top ten in the third competition, the overall quality of his performance is basically the highest and the best among all the contestants!

Therefore, for these reasons, he has no reason to worry about his already stable first place.

If the other party continues to try to sabotage things or make underhanded moves, then if Zhang Chaoqiang has even the slightest chance to teach them a lesson as he does now, he certainly won't let go of the slightest opportunity.

Zhang Chaoqiang was of course unaware that Lei She had received not only Old Chen's warning, but also an attack so severe that it would affect his entire life.

He suppressed his own talent and aptitude considerably.

In addition, his martial arts skills and spiritual power, which represent his spiritual level, have also declined.

However, his overall aura did not diminish, so to others, Lei She was still the same research institute director who, at a young age, possessed formidable martial arts and spiritual strength!

However, if one were to examine the condition inside his body, it would be immediately apparent that Resher's body was in a very weak and listless state.

Under such circumstances, Rescher ultimately had no choice but to accept everything.
