39: Challenge Lu Sheng!

Chen Zhen had always held high prestige in the Martial Arts Class.

As he spoke, everyone in the Martial Arts Class immediately quieted down.

Chen Zhen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it, a leader is coming to inspect today. If these little brats cause any trouble, I'll definitely have to discipline them properly after today.

But for now, it's fine; they're all giving me Face.

Chen Zhen's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice, "Today's ranking assessment will be conducted in a Arena format. Those with lower rankings can challenge those with higher rankings, and those with higher rankings cannot refuse!"

"On the Arena, try your best to defeat your opponent. Don't worry about injuring them. The Dao of a Martial Artist is inherently a matter of life and death. If you're hesitant now, when you graduate from a Martial Arts Academy and enter the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield, such behavior will be courting death!"

"With me here, and with all the leaders present, you don't have to worry about anything happening, understand?!"

Chen Zhen roared.

Everyone in the Martial Arts Class responded in unison.

"Understood!!!"

In the resting area, Alliance Leader Yun watched this scene with a smile, "Having a warrior retired from the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield serve as a teacher for the Martial Arts Class, Yun City No. 1 High School's model is quite good. It seems there's an opportunity to promote it throughout the city."

The principal beside him smiled respectfully, "Oh, it's nothing, just a clever trick!"

Alliance Leader Yun smiled and did not reply, only looking at Garrison Chief Chen and saying with a smile, "How about it, Old Chen? Are you interested in having the military cooperate with my Martial Alliance to cultivate the next generation of these young ones?"

Garrison Chief Chen still maintained a cold expression, and after a moment of contemplation, he slowly nodded.

At this moment, Chen Zhen had also stirred up the enthusiasm of everyone in the Martial Arts Class. He turned his head to look at Alliance Leader Yun and the others.

Alliance Leader Yun nodded.

Only then did Chen Zhen refocus his gaze on everyone in the Martial Arts Class, saying in a deep voice, "Now, the assessment begins!"

"Starting with those with lower rankings first!"

After speaking, a student from the Martial Arts Class stepped forward and began his challenge.

Lu Sheng sat in his seat, bored, watching the battles on the Arena, but his mind was wondering why his two Senior Sisters had suddenly come to this place.

Surely they didn't come just to cheer him on.

And... why were his two Senior Sisters following Alliance Leader Yun and Garrison Chief Chen?

Lu Sheng even noticed that Alliance Leader Yun and Garrison Chief Chen, subtly, showed extreme respect for his Eldest Senior Sister.

One must know, Alliance Leader Yun and Garrison Chief Chen could be said to be the pillars of Yun City. In a certain sense, they were the true power holders of Yun City.

What Martial Arts Family, what Viscera Refining Realm Martial Artist, none of them were worth mentioning in front of the two.

"Before, I only heard from Second Senior Sister that Eldest Senior Sister was a high-ranking official in the military. Now it seems, Eldest Senior Sister holds a very high position in the military!"

Lu Sheng was truly curious.

As Lu Sheng pondered, in the resting area, Alliance Leader Yun and Garrison Chief Chen looked at the calm Kong Xin, feeling somewhat at a loss.

This morning, they suddenly received a message from Kong Xin, asking them to accompany her to Yun City No. 1 High School to observe the Martial Arts Class's ranking assessment, without revealing Kong Xin's identity.

This had made the two of them uncomfortable for a long time.

Now that Kong Xin was sitting beside them, even though Alliance Leader Yun and Garrison Chief Chen still maintained their former prestige, they couldn't help but look at Kong Xin even when speaking, fearing that a single word might displease her.

Fortunately, from beginning to end, she didn't show anything.

"Old Chen, why do you think she suddenly came here?"

Alliance Leader Yun couldn't help but transmit his voice.

Garrison Chief Chen was silent for a moment: "Do you remember the Bai family incident before? The young man that the Bai family tried to assassinate was a student from Yun City No. 1 High School's Martial Arts Class, named Lu Sheng!"

Alliance Leader Yun fell silent, and after a long while, a gasp of cold air was heard.

"Hiss! So, she came specifically to see this young man Lu Sheng?"

"No, who exactly is this Lu Sheng that he can make her personally return to Yun City and personally observe his assessment??"

Alliance Leader Yun was truly puzzled.

Garrison Chief Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, but still said, "However, to be favored by her, this young man must not be a simple character. Perhaps... our Yun City is about to produce a Prodigy."

Alliance Leader Yun took a deep breath: "If that's the case..."

His eyes gleamed.

"Then we must befriend this young man at all costs."

While the two were chatting, many challenges had already taken place below.

Most of them were challengers ranked in the twenties or thirties, challenging someone just one rank higher than themselves, with nothing particularly exciting to watch.

Lu Sheng even felt a bit sleepy watching them. During this time, Lu Sheng had been hunting Vicious Beasts in the suburbs, and what he had experienced and attempted was incomparable to what these Martial Arts Class students, who had yet to see blood, had gone through.

In Lu Sheng's eyes, their fighting style was no different from playing house.

Not to mention the two important figures of Yun City in the resting area, and Kong Xin and Lan Linglong.

"Boring!"

Kong Xin looked down boredly, unable to help but utter two words.

Lan Linglong sat quietly beside her, smiling and saying, "We're here to see Little Junior Brother, not them, so why bother?"

Kong Xin stretched, her perfect figure lazily extending. Rays of sunlight streamed through the window and fell on her, adding a touch of nobility to Kong Xin.

"These little ones, if you ask me, should just be taken directly to the battlefield for a few days of experience, and they wouldn't be like this!"

Kong Xin said with a hint of disdain.

Lan Linglong smiled and didn't speak, only her gaze gently fell on Lu Sheng, and at that very moment, Lu Sheng also looked over.

Lan Linglong gave Lu Sheng a look that said, 'Your Eldest Senior Sister is bored to death.'

Lu Sheng felt a bit helpless, rubbed the tip of his nose, and was about to stand up, preparing to start his own challenge.

Suddenly, in the corner of the Martial Arts Training Hall, a hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"Instructor, I want to challenge Lu Sheng!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's gaze followed, only to see Bai Mo slowly stand up, his eyes fixed on Lu Sheng.

"This..."

Chen Zhen's brow furrowed slightly.

He hadn't expected Bai Mo to stand up and challenge Lu Sheng at this moment.

Who in Yun City didn't know about the Bai family incident?

Bai Mo challenging Lu Sheng at this time... had a deeper meaning!

"What does this guy want to do?"

Alliance Leader Yun watched the scene unfolding before him, his brow slightly furrowed. He had a bad premonition.

The Bai family was exiled to the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield because Bai Mo had ordered the assassination of Lu Sheng. Bai Mo himself was lucky to remain because he hadn't yet reached the Blood Refinement Realm.

Even an idiot would know that Bai Mo must hate Lu Sheng to death.

Now, in front of so many people, Bai Mo challenging Lu Sheng... this was a bit intriguing.

If Lu Sheng were an ordinary person, it would be fine; he would just pay a little attention to prevent any accidents to Lu Sheng.

But the problem was that Lu Sheng had a close relationship with Kong Xin, and Kong Xin was right here.

If Lu Sheng even got a scratch under Kong Xin's nose, Kong Xin's wrath... one must know, she was a ruthless person who could even chase and chop down a Devil King, let alone a small Alliance Leader like himself.

Bai Mo looked at Chen Zhen's hesitation, a cold sneer in his heart.

"Sure enough, they're all a bunch of snobs. Now that my Bai family is in trouble, even you, the instructor, treat me like a jinx!"

"All of this... is all because of Lu Sheng!!!"

Bai Mo's inner self had been completely twisted the moment his Bai family was exiled. Everything could be blamed on Lu Sheng.

"Instructor, you were the one who set this rule: those with lower rankings challenge those with higher rankings, and those with higher rankings cannot refuse!"

"I imagine Lu Sheng... you wouldn't refuse either!"

Bai Mo smiled as he looked at Lu Sheng, a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Chen Zhen felt a bit bitter in his heart. If he had known Bai Mo was going to challenge Lu Sheng, he would have definitely found a way to prevent the two from clashing.

The relationship between the two was like fire and water. If they fought too fiercely on the Arena, in front of the two important figures, it would be troublesome.

But the rules were set by him, so he couldn't go back on his word now.

Just as Chen Zhen was feeling conflicted, he heard a calm voice ring out.

"Good!"

Lu Sheng slowly stood up, looking at Bai Mo with a calm expression.

"Lu Sheng, you..."

Chen Zhen's brow furrowed slightly. He wasn't worried that Lu Sheng wasn't Bai Mo's opponent, but rather that if Bai Mo went crazy and acted recklessly, it would be troublesome.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly at Chen Zhen: "Instructor, we can't break the rules, can we? Since he wants to challenge me, I also really want to settle some past matters!"

Although Lu Sheng's voice was calm, for some reason, after Chen Zhen heard Lu Sheng's words, he felt a faint chill down his spine.

Only then did Chen Zhen suddenly realize that he seemed to not understand Lu Sheng.

This guy... is also someone who holds grudges!

Bai Mo had ordered Lu Sheng's assassination. Although Lu Sheng hadn't done anything for such a long time, it didn't mean that Lu Sheng had forgotten about it.

He just hadn't found an opportunity.

And now, Bai Mo had practically delivered the opportunity to Lu Sheng's mouth. How could Lu Sheng waste such a good timing?

Chen Zhen was silent for a moment, then gave Lu Sheng a deep look before slowly speaking.

"Good!"
