19: The twisted Bai Mo rejects Chu Yanran!
Third place, Lu Sheng!
The moment Chen Zhen's voice rang out, gazes instantly converged on Lu Sheng.
Envy, shock, confusion, and even... a hint of coldness!
Lu Sheng frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look in one direction.
He saw Bai Mo observing him with cold eyes. After seeing Lu Sheng look his way, Bai Mo snorted and shifted his gaze.
"This guy..."
Lu Sheng frowned. To be honest, he didn't know why Bai Mo was looking at him like that.
Although he and this guy were old classmates, they had never interacted. When he was still in the regular class, this guy had already become a Martial Artist and never communicated with people like him.
Even after entering the Martial Arts Class, there was no contact.
Why was he suddenly looking at him like that?
Lu Sheng shook his head, pushing the thought to the back of his mind.
Whatever his reaction, he couldn't be bothered to interact with this guy.
Chen Zhen's voice continued to ring out.
"Fourth place, Bai Mo!"
Bai Mo, who was beside him, couldn't help but clench his fists even tighter after hearing his ranking, casting a slightly cold glance at Lu Sheng's back.
"Fourth place..."
Veins popped out on Bai Mo's forehead.
"Damn it, if it weren't for this guy, third place would have been mine!"
Bai Mo couldn't help but roar inwardly.
Ever since he saw Lu Sheng defeat the Qi and Blood eight-layer Puppet before him, Bai Mo had an unpleasant feeling towards Lu Sheng.
Now, after hearing that he was only ranked fourth, he inexplicably attributed everything to Lu Sheng.
Yet, he refused to admit his own shortcomings.
However, no one knew Bai Mo's thoughts. Chen Zhen's voice continued to announce everyone's rankings.
Soon, the names of the top thirty-two had all been announced.
Only the last ranking remained unannounced.
Chen Zhen's gaze fell on the last-place student, and he spoke indifferently.
"Thirty-third place, Zhang Long!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Long's face instantly turned pale.
Last place!
This was his second consecutive last place.
This also meant... he had been eliminated.
"According to the rules, anyone who comes in last twice in a row... is directly eliminated!"
Chen Zhen looked at Zhang Long calmly.
Although the Martial Arts Class had abundant resources, they were also limited. Chen Zhen naturally couldn't tolerate anyone slacking off and taking advantage of resources in the Martial Arts Class.
If it was just one last place, it was acceptable, but if it was two consecutive last places, it was no longer a matter of talent.
It was a matter of attitude!
"I..."
Zhang Long opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he lowered his head and walked dejectedly out of the Martial Arts Training Hall.
"I understand!"
Everyone, including Lu Sheng, silently watched Zhang Long's figure slowly disappear into the Martial Arts Training Hall.
"Everyone listen up, joining the Martial Arts Class is not for you to slack off and wait for death here!"
"The resources of the Martial Arts Class are limited, and as the instructor of the Martial Arts Class, I will absolutely not allow anyone to loaf around under my nose!"
"Either you seize every moment to improve yourselves, or you will be directly eliminated in the next assessment, just like Zhang Long today!"
"Do you understand!"
Chen Zhen roared, his voice echoing throughout the entire Martial Arts Training Hall.
"Understood!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Chen Zhen nodded in satisfaction, then began to distribute this month's resources according to the rankings.
When it was Lu Sheng's turn, Lu Sheng discovered that this time's resources, apart from Qi Blood Pills, actually included a bottle of black Medicinal Pills!
"This is..."
Lu Sheng had never seen such Medicinal Pills before.
"Limit Breaking Pill!"
Chen Zhen explained after handing the resources to Lu Sheng.
"When you are in the Qi Blood Realm and your Qi and Blood reach its limit, you can take this Limit Breaking Pill to increase your Qi and Blood Limit!"
"Limit Breaking Pills are extremely rare; only the top three ranked individuals in the Martial Arts Class can obtain them!"
Upon hearing this, brilliant light instantly burst forth from Lu Sheng's eyes.
In the Qi Blood Realm, most Martial Artists reach their Qi and Blood Limit after raising their Qi and Blood to ten points. At this point, they need to start refining Qi and Blood to enter the Blood Refinement Realm!
But some Prodigies are able to push their limit to eleven, twelve, or even thirteen points!
In the Qi Blood Realm, the higher the Qi and Blood Limit one can reach, the stronger they will be on their future Martial Dao path.
Ordinary Blood Refinement Realm Martial Artists, after one complete refinement, increase their Qi and Blood by ten points, while those Martial Artists who have broken through the limit can increase it by eleven, twelve, or even thirteen points!
Perhaps the initial advantage is only a difference of a few points of Qi and Blood, but as the Realm gets higher, the gap becomes more and more obvious.
And the Limit Breaking Pill is precisely what helps Martial Artists break through their Qi and Blood Limit, showing how precious it is.
Bai Mo, who was ranked after Lu Sheng, had an intense look of jealousy in his eyes.
Although he came from a Martial Arts Family, a treasure like the Limit Breaking Pill required a great deal of effort for even his Bai family to obtain!
"This damned Lu Sheng, if it weren't for him, this Limit Breaking Pill would be mine!"
Bai Mo's fists clenched, and his face couldn't help but become slightly distorted.
Lu Sheng quickly put away the Limit Breaking Pill, afraid of dropping it.
This was a good treasure; it would be perfect if he could take this Qi Blood Pill when he reached his Qi and Blood Limit.
Soon, the distribution of resources was complete.
Chen Zhen seemed to have other matters, so he immediately announced that the day was over. Those who wished to stay and train could continue, and those who didn't could manage their time as they pleased.
Then he hurriedly left the Martial Arts Training Hall.
Bai Mo, holding the received resources, looked at Chu Yanran next to him. His previously somewhat cold expression softened a little upon seeing Chu Yanran.
"Yanran, am I still your sparring partner today?"
Bai Mo, Chu Yanran, and Lu Sheng were all in the same class before. Although Bai Mo didn't care about Lu Sheng, Chu Yanran's talent was also good, and she was beautiful, so they naturally interacted frequently.
During the past month, Bai Mo often cultivated with Chu Yanran, ostensibly as a sparring partner, but Bai Mo's intentions were clear.
Bai Mo originally thought that Chu Yanran would Cultivate with him as usual today, but who knew Chu Yanran would shake her head.
"No, I have other things to do today, so let's not Cultivate together!"
Listening to Chu Yanran's words, Bai Mo was a little disappointed but understood.
However, when Bai Mo saw Chu Yanran's next actions, his previously calm heart was once again stirred up by a storm.
Chu Yanran strode with her long legs, her tight clothing outlining her exquisite figure even more alluringly.
She slowly walked up to Lu Sheng, who was about to leave, and clasped her hands behind her back, making a very playful expression.
"Student Lu Sheng, I have some questions about fist techniques. Could I ask for your guidance?"
Her gentle voice, coupled with that playful expression, instantly made the breathing of those around her somewhat rapid.
Bai Mo watched this scene, and his expression instantly became visibly distorted.
"Lu Sheng! It's Lu Sheng again!"
"First the Limit Breaking Pill, then Chu Yanran!"
"This guy..."
A ruthless glint flashed in Bai Mo's eyes. He snorted coldly and left the Martial Arts Training Hall without looking back.
Lu Sheng, looking at Chu Yanran who had approached him, was first stunned, then his expression became strange.
Good heavens, Chu Yanran actually came to him for answers?
One must know that Chu Yanran was not only the class beauty in his class before, but even after coming to the Martial Arts Class, she had always been the dream girl of many students in the Martial Arts Class.
Coupled with her good talent and her ranking hovering around tenth place, she was admired by many.
However, Chu Yanran had always been in contact with Bai Mo, and Bai Mo's strength and talent were evident, which led many people to admire Chu Yanran from afar without daring to disrespect her.
As for Lu Sheng... although they were old classmates, they had little contact. Plus, he had recently become Kong Yunchang's disciple and cultivated daily under his Second Senior Sister.
To be honest... in Lu Sheng's opinion, while Chu Yanran was certainly lovely, compared to his Second Senior Sister... she still lacked a certain charm.
He hadn't had much contact with her before, and now Lu Sheng had even less intention of continuing to interact with Chu Yanran. He then said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I have other things to do. If you have any questions, ask someone else!"
With that, he walked towards the exit of the Martial Arts Training Hall.
The students of the Martial Arts Class around him, hearing Lu Sheng's answer, all had strange expressions on their faces.
"Doesn't this guy... know that Chu Yanran is showing him favor?"
"Damn it, if Chu Yanran showed me favor, I'd be all over it. This Lu Sheng is simply wasting a heavenly treasure!"
"How infuriating! There was once a beauty placed before you, yet you didn't know how to cherish her! Lu Sheng, you're practically inhuman!"
Not only were the other Martial Arts Class students exasperated, but the expression on Chu Yanran's pretty face also stiffened little by little.
I'm sorry.
I have things to do.
You can ask someone else!
Lu Sheng's words echoed in Chu Yanran's mind, and she found them strangely familiar. Wasn't that the exact line she used to reject Bai Mo?
Now it was being used on her?
For a moment, Chu Yanran looked at Lu Sheng's departing back, feeling a little dazed.
A moment later, Chu Yanran's pretty brows arched slightly.
"Hmph, I refuse to believe that you're so immune to women!"
With that, Chu Yanran stomped her foot and also left the Martial Arts Training Hall.
