16: Three Rules

Of course, Su Yuan and the others could not sense the change in the two Teachers.

Only the assembled Teachers knew the benefits.

To the side, the Teachers of the fourth and fifth classes looked enviously at the two Teachers.

What Jiang Haisheng bestowed was not an ordinary recovery supplement.

This kind of supplement was highly beneficial to a Third Realm Martial Artist; while recovering injuries, it could also slightly increase their qi and blood.

Its preciousness was self-evident.

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang."

In just a few seconds, the Teachers stood up, full of Dragon and Life Qi, leaving the surrounding students stunned.

The injuries of the two Teachers were already fully recovered?

Su Yuan watched all this, his heart greatly shaken.

The full-strength strike from the two Teachers just now was blocked so easily by Jiang Haisheng.

The ease with which he did it was incomprehensible.

What exactly was that light blue barrier?

The gap between a Fourth Realm Martial Artist and a Third Realm Martial Artist was simply too vast.

Su Yuan was not the only one thinking this; many students who had never seen a Fourth Realm Martial Artist take action shared the same thought.

Instantly, the yearning for the Fourth Realm Martial Artist reached its peak in everyone's hearts.

Countless fervent gazes turned toward Jiang Haisheng; his single move instantly ignited the Battle Intent in most people's hearts.

As long as they could enter the joint key class of the two schools and rank in the top five, they would receive Martial Dao resources bestowed by the Qianshan District Martial Arts Education Bureau.

At that time, the Dao leading to the Fourth Realm Martial Artist would be unimpeded.

Jiang Haisheng watched all this with satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

As a Martial Artist, one must possess an unstoppable Aura.

"I believe everyone now understands the power of a Fourth Realm Martial Artist."

"Speaking of which, when I attacked the two Teachers just now, I only used twenty percent of my strength."

As Jiang Haisheng finished speaking, countless sounds of uproar immediately erupted.

The students' emotions surged, showing even greater excitement than before.

It was hard to imagine that Teacher Jiang, despite his aged and thin appearance, could unleash such terrifying power.

"Ten of you will enter the joint key class of the two schools, and I hope at least two of you can secure a spot in the top five."

"Next, I will announce the rules for the competition to secure a spot in the joint key class of the two schools."

"First, anyone whose qi and blood value is less than 75 is eliminated."

As soon as these words fell, the faces of most people turned pale, looking incredulous.

The very first rule filtered out eighty percent of the people here.

True, if over two hundred people fought one by one, how much time would this competition for spots waste?

The joint key class of the two schools selects the elite of the elite; they do not have that much time to spend on students with low qi and blood values.

Among the students of class three, Guo Peng smiled helplessly.

His current qi and blood value was 71.3, not a huge difference, but it was a chasm he could not cross.

"Second, anyone whose punching power is less than 260kg is eliminated."

"Third, anyone whose qi and blood value is 75, but has consumed more than 200 doses of qi and blood supplement, is eliminated."

As the three rules were announced, many students looked embarrassed, but due to Jiang Haisheng's authority, they could only suppress their unwillingness deep inside.

"Those who do not meet these three rules, move to the left side."

After Jiang Haisheng finished speaking, he looked around at the students and waited quietly.

Under his watchful eye, no one dared to violate the rules.

Immediately, a group of students who did not meet the rules dispersed like a tide toward the left side.

Su Yuan stood rooted to the spot, unmoving. Guo Peng glanced at him, gave him an encouraging look, and then left.

In no time at all, the previously packed crowd was reduced to only thirty-odd people.

"Not bad, thirty-two people remain."

"Twelve from class one, eight from class two, six from class three, four from class four, and two from class five."

Jiang Haisheng's gaze swept over the remaining students, and he spoke with an expressionless face.

Three sentences eliminated two hundred and thirty people.

To the side, the four Martial Dao class Teachers exchanged glances, thinking that class one truly lived up to its reputation, managing to retain twelve people even under such harsh screening conditions.

Lu Ming, the Martial Dao class Teacher of class five, looked awkward. Only two students from class five met the requirements, making the current situation quite embarrassing.

"The remaining thirty people will draw lots randomly and be divided into groups for combat."

Thirty people?

Wasn't it thirty-two people?

"Fang Yan and Leng Xin's qi and blood values have already surpassed 100, but they have not yet undergone Martial Arts Association certification."

"Given their strength, they do not need to participate in the spot competition. Does anyone object?"

Although Jiang Haisheng's words were calm, everyone could hear the pride in his tone.

After all, Fang Yan and Leng Xin were the most outstanding Geniuses in class one.

"No objections, Teacher Jiang, please continue."

Seeing no response, the Teacher quickly spoke up.

Hearing this, Su Yuan immediately felt great regret.

He had thought he would be able to witness the strength of Fang Yan and the other person; what a pity.

"Tell me all your names, I will draw the lots."

To the side, the Teacher stepped forward and spoke to the thirty students.

There was no need for Jiang Haisheng to handle such a minor matter.

Two minutes later, the Teacher stuffed thirty paper balls into a bottle, then covered the opening and shook it gently, causing two paper balls to drop out.

"Yan Jiang, Sun Miao."

"You two go first."

In the crowd of class three, Sun Miao looked stunned.

As the sixth-highest qi and blood value student in class three, was it his turn to fight already?

Yan Jiang was the student with the second-highest qi and blood value in class five, and he was also bewildered at the moment.

Immediately, the surrounding people cleared a large space for the two, and Sun Miao and Yan Jiang quickly stepped forward, standing in the center.

"Begin."

As the Teacher's word fell, Sun Miao and Yan Jiang immediately erupted into battle.

Their qi and blood values were close, and for a time, neither could gain an advantage over the other.

Suddenly, Sun Miao took advantage of Yan Jiang's momentary lapse in concentration, swept his leg to trip Yan Jiang, and then swung a fierce punch, stopping it against Yan Jiang's head.

"Sun Miao wins."

The Teacher, acting as the referee, said calmly when he saw the battle conclude.

Sun Miao took a deep breath. Did winning mean he was ranked in the top fifteen?

No, it was the top seventeen, factoring in Fang Yan and Leng Xin, the two outsiders.

Next, the Teacher repeated the previous procedure and announced loudly.

"Li Xingyu, Zhang Hengqi."

Hearing this, the Teacher couldn't help but inwardly lament that Zhang Hengqi's luck was too poor; how did he end up facing Li Xingyu?

When Zhang Hengqi heard that his opponent was Li Xingyu, his body immediately stiffened.

His current feelings were a mix of emotions, impossible to describe in words.

Forget it. Instead of being anxious, it was better to accept the reality openly.

Zhang Hengqi also understood in his heart that his strength was still lacking if he wanted to secure a spot in the joint key class of the two schools.

Li Xingyu's expression was also slightly unnatural. Why did he encounter Zhang Hengqi, who was also from class three, in the first round?

Nevertheless, a battle between the two was inevitable.

Li Xingyu and Zhang Hengqi stood in the center confronting each other, and the battle instantly began.

Five minutes later, the result was revealed.

Zhang Hengqi was defeated cleanly and decisively.

"I'm sorry, Zhang Hengqi."

Li Xingyu helped Zhang Hengqi slowly return to their original position.

"It's fine. You are stronger than me, so victory is deserved. I can only blame my bad luck."

Zhang Hengqi had accepted his fate, wearing an indifferent expression.

To the side, Liu Simeng slightly clenched her fists. With Zhang Hengqi eliminated, she also felt extremely distressed.

There was no helping it; reality was this cruel.

"Su Yuan, Zhuang Hanyin."

Su Yuan's name was unexpectedly called out by Teacher. The Teacher and everyone in class three looked toward Su Yuan.

Over in class two, Cheng Chi and Qin Ming were ecstatic.

Because Zhuang Hanyin was the student second only to Lin Jie in their class two.
