99: A crushing victory in the martial arts exam training camp?

Liu Yuanzhou's mouth twitched. "I took out my hundred changes casket longsword, and you're planning to deal with me with that broken spear?"

"My Realm is higher than yours, so I'll just use a common spear. That way, you can't say I'm bullying you."

Su Yuan stood with a common spear, confronting Liu Yuanzhou.

"Arrogant!"

"I advise you to change your weapon, or you won't even know how you lost later!"

Liu Yuanzhou stared at the common spear, fearing it wouldn't withstand the power of a Martial Skill and would shatter into dust.

"Make your Move."

Su Yuan ignored Liu Yuanzhou and spoke directly.

"Such overconfidence!"

Liu Yuanzhou was furious. His entire being seemed to transform into a crimson streak of light, tracing a dazzling spark across the air. In a few flashes, he was in front of Su Yuan.

Immediately, his longsword erupted with a fiery, lingering afterimage, stabbing towards Su Yuan!

Pei Xuan's eyes narrowed. Liu Yuanzhou's speed alone was comparable to a Second Realm Peak Martial Artist. No wonder he could defeat the top Geniuses of two cities.

Then, in Pei Xuan's eyes, Su Yuan remained expressionless, effortlessly dodging Liu Yuanzhou's attack.

His Move missed. Liu Yuanzhou's gaze locked onto Su Yuan again, and a 'Fire-Devouring Overlord Sword' — faster and more powerful than before — slammed towards Su Yuan.

The temperature in the basement suddenly soared. Ye Ling and the others, even from such a distance, could feel the heat radiating from the center of the battle.

Su Yuan watched the powerful sword technique hurtling towards him, yet remained calm and composed.

He merely shifted his body slightly, once again dodging Liu Yuanzhou's attack.

Liu Yuanzhou's heart jolted. What was going on? Had his 'Fire-Devouring Overlord Sword' been seen through?

It made no sense!

In fact, Su Yuan had seen through the trajectory of the 'Fire-Devouring Overlord Sword' technique the moment Liu Yuanzhou made his first Move.

He hadn't been practicing with Yun Yiyao and Li Dieyi for so long for nothing.

Coupled with his top-tier predictive insight, dodging this Move was simply too easy.

"Again!"

"I refuse to believe it!"

Liu Yuanzhou seemed to have gotten fired up, his entire body appearing to be covered in a layer of fire.

The next instant, Liu Yuanzhou gripped his sword with both hands, the longsword suddenly turning red, then he powerfully pushed off the ground with his legs.

Immediately, Liu Yuanzhou hung in the air, holding his sword with both hands and slashing down at Su Yuan's head!

The scorching afterimage of the longsword traced a semi-circular wave of fire in the air. Ye Ling and the others covered their eyes, as if that fire wave was as dazzling as the sun.

Bang!

The longsword rapidly struck down, but Su Yuan's figure was gone.

A massive metallic clang resounded. This sword strike hit the metal floor of the basement, creating a wave of scorching ripples.

"Three Moves are over. It's my turn."

At some point, Su Yuan's figure appeared behind Liu Yuanzhou.

Liu Yuanzhou's brain instantly jolted. Without any warning, a long spear flashed at his left waist.

Terrifying power, mixed with the crackle of lightning, as Su Yuan swept his right arm, holding the spear, to the right. Countless electric arcs climbed Liu Yuanzhou's body.

Liu Yuanzhou's body flew horizontally like a cannonball. Also flying out were countless fragments of the common spear, shattered into dust, scattering like sand across the air.

Boom!

A massive impact echoed against the metal wall. Liu Yuanzhou's body slammed heavily into it, then he spat out a large amount of blood, his expression pained.

Instantly, the basement fell into dead silence.

Everyone's faces were as stunned as wooden sculptures, their expressions blank.

Jiang Haisheng's eyes were filled with astonishment. What had he just seen?

Su Yuan, using a common, utterly common spear, instantly defeated Liu Yuanzhou with a single thrust.

His speed, strength, and reaction ability were completely superior to Liu Yuanzhou's. The gap between them was like heaven and earth.

If it weren't for Liu Yuanzhou displaying his Second Realm Mid-Stage Realm and his young face, he would even doubt if this person was Liu Yuanzhou.

Compared to Su Yuan, he was simply too weak.

"This..."

Wang Zheng watched all this, speechless for a long time.

Zhao Xinxuan's eyes trembled wildly, her mind a blank.

The highest Realm teacher present, Pei Xuan, was also stunned into numbness, frozen in place.

He was shocked by Su Yuan's Realm and his ultimate control over power.

Not to mention that Su Yuan had let Liu Yuanzhou have three Moves, just using a common spear to defeat Liu Yuanzhou was terrifying enough.

"Su Yuan... Is this your true strength?"

Lin Jie couldn't even clearly see the figures of Su Yuan and Liu Yuanzhou fighting. He only saw Su Yuan finally standing behind Liu Yuanzhou, lightly waving his spear, and Liu Yuanzhou flew horizontally.

The force of that spear made Lin Jie tremble with fear even from this distance.

Ye Ling and Chu Tianche exchanged glances, smiling bitterly.

Su Yuan's Realm was Second Realm High Rank. How could they catch up?

Catch up, my ass!

It was too outrageous. Ye Ling was still some time away from a First Realm Peak Martial Artist, yet Su Yuan had directly reached Second Realm High Rank.

Would Su Yuan continuing to stay in Qianshan Class really be useful?

With no internal competition, would Su Yuan find it boring?

Ye Ling suddenly thought of this.

"Cough cough, I surrender. Someone help me up."

While everyone was stunned, Liu Yuanzhou's voice unseasonably broke the silence.

Jiang Haisheng quickly went to Liu Yuanzhou's side. He didn't dare to Move Liu Yuanzhou's body, but instead gave him a bottle of high-grade recovery fluid.

"Two more bottles, please."

Liu Yuanzhou seemed to feel better, but it wasn't enough.

Jiang Haisheng's mouth twitched. You're quite impolite.

No choice, Jiang Haisheng gave Liu Yuanzhou two more bottles of high-grade recovery fluid.

high-grade recovery fluid could heal injuries and restore power for Second Realm Martial Artists, costing eight thousand xia country currency per bottle.

Three minutes later, Liu Yuanzhou slowly stood up, gently twisting his waist.

Then, he hung his head and murmured, "I never thought I, Liu Yuanzhou, would be defeated by Su Yuan."

"Were Zhang Miaoyan and Lin Yayue too weak, or was Su Yuan too strong?"

Zhang Miaoyan, the top Genius of Donglin City.

Lin Yayue, the top Genius of Fengheng City.

Both were Second Realm Early Stage.

"Forget it, forget it. Since I lost, there's nothing more to say."

"I didn't expect to be defeated after only beating two top Geniuses. The Dao to becoming the xiwu province martial arts examination champion is truly long and arduous!"

Liu Yuanzhou clasped his hands behind his back, sighing softly with his head down.

Everyone looked at this scene speechless, somehow feeling that Liu Yuanzhou was a bit chuunibyou.

As he spoke, he picked up the longsword that had fallen to the ground and repeatedly practiced the stance of the last Move he had unleashed on Su Yuan.

"What exactly went wrong? Should it be like this..."

...Suddenly, Liu Yuanzhou seemed to think of something. He looked at Su Yuan and said.

"Su Yuan, with your strength, you should have received the notification for the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Examination training camp yesterday, right?"

Su Yuan heard this, somewhat confused.

"You don't know?"

Liu Yuanzhou, as if he had discovered some great secret, came to Su Yuan with a start.

"Could it be that you didn't receive it?"

Liu Yuanzhou took out his phone and opened a text message to show Su Yuan.

"[Xiwu Province Notification: All top two third-year high school students from the sixteen cities are requested to report to the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Education Bureau on March 1st to begin Martial Arts Examination training.]"

"[Note: Participation in this Martial Arts Examination training camp is mandatory for eligible students. All thirty-two students must be present on March 1st.]"

Su Yuan read the information, then opened his own phone's text messages.

There was nothing.

"Haha, I didn't expect the top Genius of Linzhou City to not receive the Xiwu Province notification."

Liu Yuanzhou glanced at Su Yuan's phone and couldn't help but laugh.

But the next moment, Liu Yuanzhou couldn't laugh anymore, because he saw an unfamiliar number calling Su Yuan's phone.

Liu Yuanzhou was very familiar with that number: Liu Qinsheng's personal number!
