71: The Dean of Studies takes action

“Xu Yifan!”

“Xu Yifan, you are the best!”

“……”

Just as Xu Yifan's fan club was cheering vigorously,

that figure suddenly flew backward.

When they clearly saw the figure that flew out, their cheers abruptly ceased.

In the arena, there was a deathly silence.

Hundreds of people looked at the scene on the stage, their faces filled with disbelief.

And Xu Yifan, who had been invincible and had defeated several opponents in a row earlier,

was now hunched over like a dead shrimp, his face pale, lying on the ground with a distorted expression.

Li Canglan, on the other hand, stood calmly in the center of the arena.

The students watching, and even many teachers, had their minds go blank.

The two individuals ranked ninth and tenth in the Qi Blood Realm test were fighting.

How could Li Canglan, who was ninth, instantly defeat Xu Yifan, who was tenth, with a single move?

One should know that Xu Yifan's Qi Blood Realm had surged significantly in the second test!

Logically, he should not have been weaker than Li Canglan.

However, facts speak louder than words.

In their exchange, Li Canglan did not even take a single step back.

Principal Cai Xu and other school leaders were also surprised.

Although Zhang Ganchao had not used Breaking Flame Fist just now,

the gap between the two in this battle was already evident.

“Canglan! Canglan!”

Seeing this, Zhang Ganchao's Qi Blood Realm surged, and he shouted excitedly.

“Canglan!”

“Class Monitor!”

At this moment, the students of Class 12, who had a good relationship with Li Canglan, all shouted.

Normally, they would not dare to anger Xu Yifan.

But now, mixed in the crowd, who would fear the loser on the stage?

The referee was also slightly stunned.

He wanted to see a evenly matched contest.

And also to specifically assess the Aptitude of this group of students.

What was the result?

This particular match ended with an even more overwhelming difference than the previous battles.

“I announce…”

The referee teacher was just about to announce the result of the match.

Xu Yifan struggled to his feet,

“I… I haven’t lost yet!”

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the air he breathed was thick with the smell of blood.

He stared at Li Canglan with bloodshot eyes, which were filled with furious killing intent,

“You are strong, but this is as far as you go!”

“I won’t allow a commoner to step on me!”

As the grandson of a Three-Star Martial Artist,

Xu Yifan's Martial Artist talent was not top-notch; it could be said to be mediocre.

His friends with similar family backgrounds were mostly in better middle schools.

Only he was in the lower-ranked Ninth Academy.

This led to him often being ridiculed by friends of similar family backgrounds.

Under long-term psychological distortion, he deeply resented people from commoner families like Li Canglan who possessed strong Martial Artist talent!

Blazing flames burned on his gauntlets.

Breaking Flame Fist was extremely fast; there was no way Li Canglan could kick him flying again!

Li Canglan subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.

Only then did he remember that weapons were not allowed in sparring among students.

They were all only in the Qi Blood Realm; once weapons were used, there was a high chance of broken arms and legs.

By then, it would be good if one-third of the entire academy could remain intact.

Li Canglan could only move closer, his two fingers drawing a line.

He performed Thunderbolt Slash with his sword fingers!

Of course, he did not use his full strength in this strike.

Otherwise, if Xu Yifan died on the spot, he would also get into trouble.

Seeing Li Canglan advance instead of retreating, the teachers and students all showed expressions of regret.

“Alas, although Li Canglan has good talent, he is too overconfident.”

“Perhaps winning against Xu Yifan just now gave him the illusion that he was invincible.”

“Taking Breaking Flame Fist head-on with his Physical Body, Li Canglan will probably end up like Zhang Ganchao.”

Only some sharp-eyed teachers noticed faint blue electric arcs flickering on Li Canglan's two fingers.

“Is that Thunderbolt Slash?”

Their intuition told them that it was impossible for Li Canglan to master advanced Martial Skill in a short period.

But Thunderbolt Slash required reaching a certain level of proficiency or possessing corresponding talent.

Only then could it be unleashed using the Physical Body, rather than a weapon.

Given Li Canglan's family background, if he wanted to learn Martial Skill, only the free Thunderbolt Slash would likely be possible.

But this meant that he had at least reached Minor Achievement proficiency or higher.

How many days has it been?

Such rapid increase in Martial Skill proficiency is illogical!

On the contrary, Principal Principal Cai Xu had a flash of inspiration.

According to Shenxia Country regulations, only those who reach the Body Tempering Realm can learn Thunderbolt Slash for free.

Could it be that the student Old Zhang mentioned, who reached the Body Tempering Realm,

was Li Canglan?

But he had no resources, how could he progress so quickly?

Amidst the students' skepticism and the teachers' puzzled gazes,

Li Canglan's finger-sword and Xu Yifan's Breaking Flame Fist collided with a thunderous crash.

Crack!

Xu Yifan's violent expression instantly froze.

This immense force made him feel as if his fist bones had shattered.

The intense pain made him cry out and fly backward.

But Li Canglan still had no intention of stopping.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Yifan's calf, and slammed him onto the ground.

A loud bang!

The entire arena seemed to shake slightly.

This entire process happened in a flash, in an instant.

Almost everyone watching had no time to react.

They only saw Xu Yifan lying on the ground, constantly wailing.

“Good kid, how dare you seriously injure a classmate during the test!”

A furious roar suddenly came from the rostrum.

A brawny figure leaped through the crowd in a few bounds, landing steadily on the stage.

He threw a punch at Li Canglan.

That punch, filled with the anger of a Two-Star Peak Martial Artist, was terrifying.

“Xu Lei!”

Class teacher Zhang Xin roared, wanting to stop the attack of Xu Lei, the Director of Academic Affairs.

But she had not expected Xu Lei to suddenly strike with killing intent.

It was too late to act now!

Gasps of alarm also rang out from all around.

There was a world of difference between a Martial Artist and a non-Martial Artist.

Li Canglan would likely die tragically on the spot today!

Even if Xu Lei held back, he would still be severely injured!

Only Xu Yifan, lying on the ground and wailing, had a ferocious look in his eyes, wishing his second uncle would tear Li Canglan to shreds on the spot.

Li Canglan's gaze narrowed; hiding now would be seeking death.

However, just as he was about to make his move, the referee acted before him.

The referee leaped down from the high platform, drew a long spear, and thrust it towards Xu Lei.

Bang!

The referee's gaze sharpened, and the spear shaft bent with an exaggerated arc.

Xu Lei's punch bent the long spear, which then rebounded and struck the referee in the chest, causing him to spit blood and fly backward.

Fortunately, it bought enough time for other teachers to get on stage and stop Xu Lei.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Xu Lei could only help his nephew up.

Then he roared at the medical staff in the distance,

“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and carry Xu Yifan to the infirmary!”

The trembling medical personnel quickly came forward.
