70: Quick come, quick go

"Wait... wait a second!"

Seeing that the referee was about to blow the whistle.

The homeroom teacher, Zhang Xin, hurriedly ran onto the arena.

She smiled apologetically at the referee, grabbed Li Canglan, and wanted to lead him off the stage.

"Li Canglan, don't be impulsive!"

"Both you and Xu Yifan are from our Class 12. Anyone getting injured is a loss for our class!"

Zhang Xin's expression was serious.

"Listen to your teacher. If you want to challenge someone, go challenge another arena."

Li Canglan gently pulled his hand away.

"Teacher, I know you are thinking about our collective sense of honor, but unfortunately, some people don't think that way."

He turned his head and looked at Xu Yifan, who was standing not far away, looking as if he were high and mighty.

"Knowing today is the combat strength test, he still used lethal force during a sparring match with a classmate."

"Do you really think someone like that cares about our collective sense of honor?"

"He injured my brother. If I don't avenge Zhang Ganchao, how can I have the face to call myself his brother?"

Zhang Xin also knew that, in daily life, Li Canglan and Zhang Ganchao had the closest relationship.

With Zhang Ganchao injured, Li Canglan would absolutely not sit idly by.

"But, Xu Yifan has mastered the Breaking Flame Fist after all."

"You are not his match. Everything can be discussed in the long run; don't lose your head."

It wasn't just Zhang Xin.

All the students around the arena, in fact, did not favor Li Canglan.

After all, in the previous battles.

Whether one had mastered a Martial Skill or not made a huge difference in the strength displayed.

For someone like Xu Yifan who had mastered a Martial Skill.

Up until now, not a single student had even been able to force him to use a second move!

Unless someone who had also mastered a Martial Skill went on stage, it was impossible to be Xu Yifan's match.

Facing everyone's lack of confidence in him, Li Canglan did not offer any explanation, only smiled.

"We haven't even fought yet, so why do you think I'm not his match?"

It just so happened that the referee for this match was also the type of guy who loved to watch the excitement and didn't mind trouble.

"That's right. Li Canglan himself isn't afraid, so why are you worrying, Zhang Xin?"

The many previous battles had basically been one-sided crushes.

It was hard to come by a battle that might be evenly matched, and he didn't want Zhang Xin to ruin it.

Around the arena, a chorus of voices cheering for Li Canglan also rang out.

Zhang Xin looked around and knew she couldn't persuade Li Canglan anymore.

Helpless, Zhang Xin could only say softly to Xu Yifan, who was not far away,

"Go easy on him. After all, you are all classmates."

Xu Yifan gave a disdainful smile,

"Don't worry, Teacher. I will definitely take good care of the class monitor!"

But anyone could hear the tone in Xu Yifan's voice when he said the word "take care."

Zhang Xin sighed and walked off the arena in defeat.

Including the principal, many students' gazes were momentarily focused on this arena.

In the first Qi and blood test, Li Canglan and Xu Yifan were ranked ninth and tenth, respectively.

They wanted to see if these two students ranked in the top ten could bring them an exciting match.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Li Canglan and Xu Yifan.

Few people noticed that Zhang Ganchao, who should have been lying in a hospital bed, had also appeared around the arena at this moment.

And he wasn't even using crutches; he looked as if he had never been injured at all.

In the crowd, only Bian Haifeng noticed Zhang Ganchao.

He squeezed through the crowd and came to Zhang Ganchao's side.

"Ganchao, is your injury healed?"

Zhang Ganchao gave a simple, honest smile. If it weren't for Canglan, he would still be lying in a hospital bed right now.

"By the way, why didn't you stop the class monitor just now?"

There was some complaint in Bian Haifeng's tone,

"You have fought against Xu Yifan before; the class monitor is definitely not his match."

"That's hard to say."

Zhang Ganchao smiled, "I bet you, Canglan will definitely win this match, and he will win it very beautifully!"

Bian Haifeng looked at Zhang Ganchao in disbelief and even reached out to touch his forehead.

"You don't have a fever. Why are you talking such nonsense?"

Zhang Ganchao gave a knowing smile and did not explain.

Two hours ago, he would also have worried about whether Li Canglan could be a match for Xu Yifan.

But ever since he experienced the miraculous effect of the Seven-Brilliance Lotus, he no longer had such doubts.

The fact that Li Canglan could get him such a good item showed that Li Canglan probably didn't lack any Heaven And Earth Treasure in his daily life.

Plus, Li Canglan dared to challenge him on stage even knowing that Xu Yifan had mastered the Breaking Flame Fist.

All signs indicated that Li Canglan had victory in his grasp!

Although Zhang Ganchao looked full of confidence, Bian Haifeng completely couldn't understand where that guy got his confidence from.

He could only look at the arena; the battle was about to begin.

Xu Yifan crossed his arms over his chest, still not forgetting the pre-match trash talk segment.

"I didn't expect that someone who had been hiding for a week would actually return on the day of the combat strength test."

Xu Yifan's gaze was full of disdain,

"What, are you confident enough to defeat me now?"

"Hiding?"

Li Canglan acted as if he had heard some joke,

"Is someone like you worth me hiding from?"

What Xu Yifan hated most was this attitude of Li Canglan.

A mud-legged peasant, yet he had to act like a favored son of heaven.

Making it seem as if he were the protagonist in a novel.

There might be people who could rise from the commoner class.

But it definitely wouldn't be him, Li Canglan!

"The match begins!"

The referee wouldn't care what the two were bickering about and blew the whistle on his own.

"Next, you will know how wrong your decision to rush to school today was!"

The moment the whistle fell, Xu Yifan gave a grim smile and rushed out.

At this moment, he was like a hunting cheetah, his speed reaching its limit.

In just an instant, he approached Li Canglan.

Seeing this scene, some teachers couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Xu Yifan has actually mastered a second Martial Skill in such a short time; truly impressive."

"What's rare is that it's a movement-type Martial Skill. With this Martial Skill, he will likely achieve a good result in the Martial Dao grand exam in over a month."

Hearing the teachers' discussion, the students also cast envious gazes.

A Martial Skill; they also wanted to possess one.

Some girls nearby who admired Xu Yifan couldn't help but shout Xu Yifan's name.

"Xu Yifan! I love you!"

"Xu Yifan, come on!"

Handsome, talented, and with money at home.

For some precocious girls, this was the perfect partner!

As long as they could climb up Xu Yifan's high branch, they wouldn't have to worry for the rest of their lives.

It was just a pity that Xu Yifan's standards were also extremely high.

He was just playing along with these girls, just for fun.

But it still didn't stop these girls from reaching a climax over Xu Yifan.

Amidst the cheers, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.

And Li Canglan, naturally, had no qualms about ruining such an atmosphere.

Only a loud bang was heard.

Mixed in was the sound of a sternum shattering.

A figure flew backward at an extremely fast speed.

And smashed into the arena's railing!
