The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Training Platform Number One.

It measures eight meters square and is surrounded by severely worn protective ropes.

A crowd gathered below the stage.

They were all students from the regular Class 9.

even.

Students from other classes were also mixed in, all waiting to see Ye Xiao make a fool of himself.

Wang Lei jumped onto the stage first, stretched his shoulders, and punched the air a few times, making a whooshing sound.

After awakening as a C-class professional strongman.

This allows Wang Lei to easily strengthen his muscles and gain strength several times that of others.

It seems that the profession Wang Lei awakened is also related to body cultivation.

However, there is a fundamental difference between him and someone like Ye Xiao.

Wang Lei can temporarily increase his muscle strength through the power he awakens.

But Ye Xiao could only increase his strength by repeatedly tempering his body.

The two are still fundamentally different.

Ye Xiao slowly walked onto the training platform and stood opposite Wang Lei.

And at this time.

The homeroom teacher, Zhou Ming, stood at the edge of the stage, solemnly reciting the rules.

"Regarding the rules of the fight: the match ends when one side concedes defeat or falls off the stage."

"Do not intentionally kill, and do not attack vital organs."

"The match begins."

After saying that.

Zhou Ming jumped off the stage, giving up the training platform.

And at this time.

Wang Lei did not act immediately.

He crossed his arms and looked at Ye Xiao like a cat eyeing a mouse.

"Ye Xiao, don't say I'm bullying you."

"I'll give you three moves. You throw the first punch, and I won't fight back."

Another burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

"Brother Lei is so generous!"

"Three moves? One punch and he'll be on his knees!"

"This guy's strength is at most at the first level of the professional realm, while Brother Lei, you're a veteran at the second level of the professional realm."

"I heard that Brother Lei's cultivation level has reached the tenth bottleneck. He'll probably break through to the second professional realm in less than three months!"

"Faced with an opponent like this, I reckon Ye Xiao wouldn't last ten seconds!"

"Ten seconds? You're giving him way too much credit! Five seconds at most, okay? If Brother Lei makes a move, he'll take care of Ye Xiao in five seconds!"

"......"

Ye Xiao listened to the doubts and questions raised by those around him.

He felt neither angry nor annoyed.

Instead, he just gave a cold laugh.

Indeed, as these people have said.

There is a whole realm of difference between Ye Xiao and Wang Lei!

If it's just a difference in minor levels.

Challenging opponents of higher levels is quite common.

But the difference lies in the level of understanding.

Successfully taking on a challenge beyond your level is not so easy.

at this time.

Ye Xiao stared intently at Wang Lei.

Then, Ye Xiao made a move!

It's just one step.

One stride covers three meters!

It instantly shortened the distance between the two.

Wang Lei's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This speed...something's not right!"

"Isn't this guy an E-rank professional, a piece of trash with only first-level strength?"

"How can it be so fast?"

He wanted to back out, but it was too late.

Ye Xiao's fist had already stopped in front of him.

It was less than a centimeter from the tip of his nose.

The entire venue was deathly silent!

The force of the punch brushed against Wang Lei's face, like a knife scraping across it.

He froze on the spot, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

The laughter from the audience abruptly stopped.

three seconds.

Five seconds.

ten seconds.

Ye Xiao withdrew his fist and glanced at him:

"The first move."

Wang Lei's legs began to tremble.

He swallowed hard.

A bead of cold sweat involuntarily rolled down his forehead.

No one spoke from the audience.

Those who had previously mocked Ye Xiao.

His pupils constricted sharply, in disbelief.

Wang Lei opened his mouth, as if to say something, but his throat felt like it was being choked.

He recalled the things he had just said.

"I'll give you three moves..."

"Don't cry..."

"A warrior is useless..."

He remembered the hand that had patted Ye Xiao's shoulder earlier.

That hand is shaking badly now.

Then, he did something he hadn't expected—

He took a step back.

Another step back.

I stepped back to the edge of the training platform and slipped—

boom!

He fell off the stage.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence once again.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Lei.

Ye Xiao spoke calmly:

"You just said you'd give me three moves."

"I haven't even used my first move yet."

Wang Lei's face turned a deep purplish-red.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Suddenly someone shouted.

"A sneak attack! He attacked us from behind!"

"Right! Brother Lei isn't ready yet!"

"That doesn't count! Let's try again!"

"..."

The speaker was none other than Ye Xiao's blond roommate, Zhang Qiang!

Zhang Qiang jumped onto the stage and pointed at Ye Xiao:

"If you're so capable, fight me fair and square! What kind of skill is a sneak attack!"

Ye Xiao looked at him but didn't say anything.

Zhang Qiang thought he was scared, so he became even more aggressive:

"What, you're scared? Where's your bravado from before? Come on, I'll stand still and try to hit me!"

Ye Xiao nodded.

"it is good."

He had never heard such an outrageous request before.

Since Zhang Qiang was so eager for his help,

Ye Xiao naturally had to meet the other party's request!

Zhang Qiang assumed a defensive stance, with a faint layer of sword energy emanating from his body.

This is his signature move: Thunder Light Sword!

In an instant.

The other students in the audience all looked on with anticipation.

"Brother Qiang's C-rank profession: Lightning Lightning Sword!"

"What a cool lightning sword aura!"

"Brother Qiang's strength is a genuine seventh level of the second realm!"

"Dealing with Ye Xiao, that little Karami, should be no problem as long as we don't get ambushed by him!"

"......"

And just then...

Ye Xiao walked up to Zhang Qiang.

Raise your fist.

Fall.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

boom--!

The shield of lightning sword energy shattered like paper!

【Ding! 】

You have completed a punch, with a power of 36%!

[Gained 1 Martial Arts Points!]

Your level has risen!

[Current Realm: Clay Embryo Realm, Level 21!]

A faint earthy yellow light flickered on Ye Xiao's fist.

Then it quietly seeped into his body.

This is precisely the manifestation of the power he gained after throwing the punch, which was then reflected back into his body.

Zhang Qiang hadn't reacted yet.

An even faster fist came hurtling toward his face!

A muffled thud.

Zhang Qiang's nose was knocked crooked, and blood flowed out.

He was sent flying, crashing onto a protective mat three meters away from the stage. He rolled twice and lay motionless.

The entire venue fell silent once again.

At this moment, Ye Xiao wiped the blood off the back of his hand in front of everyone.

Then he said it casually.

"Sorry, Zhang, that punch I threw seemed a bit too hard."

【Ding! 】

You have completed a punch, with a power of 52%!

[Gained 1 Martial Arts Points!]

Your level has risen!

[Current Realm: Clay Embryo Realm, Level 22!]

Ye Xiao's lips curled up.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't motivated by revenge after that punch.

Ye Xiao wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Get revenge on Zhang Qiang!

As the students quickly helped Zhang Qiang up.

To my surprise, I saw it.

Zhang Qiang's face was covered in blood, and tears and snot streamed down his face.

She started crying and sobbing like a wronged woman.

"teacher!!!"

"Ye Xiao, he... he went too far!"

"How could he use such strength?"

"And it was specifically designed to slap someone in the face!"

"He's beaten someone so badly their face is disfigured!"
