Chapter 20 I Choose to Quit No. 3 Middle School

Chu Han's declaration of war immediately set the scene ablaze.

He was just a student who hadn't even graduated, yet he dared to publicly challenge a Second-Tier Martial Artist?

If this wasn't madness, what was?

"Could Chu Han really have taken banned drugs and lost his mind?"

His impulsive behavior further corroborated Sun Liqiang's accusation; few on the field still believed in his innocence.

A cold light flashed in Shen Ping's eyes as he immediately volunteered to the Principal: "Principal, he is beyond saving. Let me help the Third Middle School clean up this scourge, otherwise, he'll only disgrace the Third Middle School in the future!"

"Mhm."

The Principal nodded, giving his tacit consent to this duel.

"This little fellow certainly has grit; it would be a pity if he didn't become a soldier."

To the side, Captain Li thought to himself.

He looked at Chu Han with increasing appreciation. "I'll observe for a bit. If he encounters danger, it's not like I can't intervene."

Chu Han and Shen Ping arrived at an Arena, which was specifically used for Martial Artists in the base to spar and duel.

Thanks to the promotion by the Third Middle School students, a large crowd quickly gathered.

After all, the drama of a student claiming to challenge a teacher wasn't something one encountered every day.

On the Arena, a cruel smile appeared on Shen Ping's face. "Chu Han, today I'll let you see what a true Martial Artist is."

Chu Han merely gave a cold laugh and beckoned Shen Ping with his finger: "Bring it on."

He was quite familiar with the strength of the school's teachers.

Although Shen Ping was a Second-Tier Martial Artist, his strength was far weaker than Teacher Wang Hao, who was also at the Second-Tier, specifically the Early Stage.

Compared to the Peak Second-Tier Red-Scaled Python, he was even more insignificant.

He had even killed a Red-Scaled Python; Shen Ping naturally couldn't intimidate him.

Although he no longer had the blood-colored Origin Energy, his physical fitness, strength, defense, and other aspects had increased by two to three times.

Just with physical strength alone, he could fight!

"You're looking for death!"

Shen Ping could no longer restrain himself. He stomped his foot heavily, and his body shot forward like a cannonball, his fist wrapped in green Origin Energy as he slammed it fiercely toward Chu Han.

Shen Ping's talent was the D-Rank Talent "Body of Pure Wind," a wind-attribute talent that enhanced his agility, making him very fast.

"This guy, he's using Origin Energy right from the start!"

Below the stage, Teacher Wang Hao clenched his fists, unable to help but worry for Chu Han.

"Good timing!"

Chu Han shouted. Without dodging or flinching, he threw a punch in return.

He wanted to know exactly what level his current punching power had reached.

"He actually dares to meet it head-on. As expected, the banned drugs have eroded his reason; he'll be a cripple soon."

Below the stage, Li Mengran shook her head, her eyes filled with contempt.

"Bang!"

The fists collided, and the wind from the punch exploded, resulting in a loud, muffled thud.

Shen Ping's wind-attribute Origin Energy was like tiny wind blades continuously cutting at Chu Han's fist, but Chu Han only felt a slight tingle; it wasn't a major issue.

Instead, Shen Ping was knocked back several steps by the immense force from Chu Han's fist before he could stop.

"This kid, how does he have such great strength? Is his fist made of iron?"

Shen Ping was shocked by the pain and kept rotating his wrist to alleviate the ache in his hand.

Everyone saw their performance and was shocked.

Chu Han hadn't used Origin Energy, yet he had repelled a Second-Tier Martial Artist?

Who would believe this?

"That's the Basic Fist Technique reaching perfection! It produced at least a five to six-fold increase in punching power!"

Li Yunjian's eyes lit up, and the shock in his heart could not subside for a long time.

"A Second-Tier Martial Artist is nothing more than this."

Chu Han's mocking voice came through, making Shen Ping's expression even uglier.

"Not only did you take banned drugs, but you also injected a physical enhancement agent!" Shen Ping said through gritted teeth.

"However, I won't compete with you in brute strength."

With that, Shen Ping drew his personal Battle Saber, which was a D-Rank weapon.

Green Origin Energy flowed under his feet, and his whole person turned into a gust of pure wind. The Battle Saber in his hand seemed to merge into the wind, drawing a strange arc in the air.

"D-Rank movement technique Gale Step! C-Rank Martial Skill Raging Wind Blade Technique!"

"Shen Ping is starting to get serious! He's even using his trump card Martial Skills!"

A chorus of exclamations came from below the stage.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Ping's blade had reached Chu Han's neck.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out as Chu Han blocked Shen Ping's attack with his blade.

"He blocked it again! His Basic Saber Technique has also reached the Realm of reaching perfection!"

Li Yunjian's eyes widened.

Chu Han's strike seemed effortless, but powerful experts could see the extraordinary nature of this move at a glance.

The Principal was also a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, and at this moment, he was full of disbelief.

Could it be that Chu Han had really been wronged?

Should he return the rewards to him?

No! Even so, Chu Han was still a person without talent; a Third-Tier Martial Artist would be his limit.

Li Mengran had awakened an A-Rank Talent and was very likely to reach the Grandmaster Realm in the future!

The two still couldn't be compared!

"The Raging Wind Blade Technique isn't just this one strike; it's a continuous and fierce offensive! Keep blocking if you can!"

Shen Ping was enraged when his first strike was blocked. He swung his Battle Saber frantically, like a violent storm, slashing at Chu Han from all directions.

Simultaneously, he used Gale Step to constantly change his position, circling Chu Han and completely enveloping him in a web of blades.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Chu Han reacted quickly, continuously swinging his blade to parry, and his contempt for Shen Ping diminished slightly.

It had to be said that Shen Ping's saber technique Martial Skill was quite good; he liked it.

While parrying, he analyzed the technique. Under his Ten Thousand Times Talent, he quickly gained new insights and understood most of the Raging Wind Blade Technique.

The essence of the Raging Wind Blade Technique was speed; the attacks were like a relentless storm, giving the enemy no time to react. When executed with wind-attribute Origin Energy, its power was even greater.

However, Shen Ping's mastery of this technique hadn't reached Major Achievement yet, and there were many flaws.

The long saber in Chu Han's hand flew up and down. Facing Shen Ping's attacks, he became increasingly at ease, defending against every strike with precision.

"Your saber technique isn't fully mastered yet! Let me teach you!"

Chu Han gave a cold laugh. The long saber in his hand turned from defense to offense, and he actually used the Raging Wind Blade Technique to counterattack Shen Ping!

Strike after strike, it was incredibly sharp. Although his blade wasn't imbued with Origin Energy, it was even more elusive and faster when swung!

"Impossible! How do you also know the Raging Wind Blade Technique!"

Shen Ping was shocked and hurriedly tried to defend.

He had immersed himself in this saber technique Martial Skill for over a decade, and he could tell at a glance that the Raging Wind Blade Technique Chu Han was using was extremely exquisite, far superior to his own!

"Of course you taught me!"

As soon as Chu Han used the Raging Wind Blade Technique, it was at the level of Major Achievement. Shen Ping could only barely cope by relying on Origin Energy, which consumed a massive amount of his energy, and he was soon on the verge of exhaustion.

Shen Ping immediately used Gale Step to pull away from Chu Han.

Gale Step was a movement technique driven by wind-attribute Origin Energy, which Chu Han couldn't learn, but with his insight, he quickly saw the patterns and loopholes of Gale Step.

He then used Spirit Cat Steps to pursue, and the long saber in his hand slashed toward Shen Ping like lightning.

"Seven Forms of Army Breaking, Fourth Form!"

Shen Ping suddenly felt an extremely powerful sense of pressure that made his breathing stall and his heart fill with terror.

He hurriedly poured all the Origin Energy in his body into his blade, resisting desperately.

A white light flashed, and with a "crack," the Battle Saber in Shen Ping's hand snapped.

Chu Han's long saber slashed diagonally across Shen Ping's chest, and blood immediately splattered.

Shen Ping fell backward, completely losing his combat capability.

Chu Han glanced at the long saber in his hand, which had also broken a section and become jagged, and shook his head.

If his weapon hadn't been severely damaged in the previous clash, that strike would have been enough to kill Shen Ping.

The entire field was silent.

The match had ended just like that, and Shen Ping had been suppressed by Chu Han the entire time!

Chu Han's strength had clearly reached the level of a Second-Tier Martial Artist!

This was simply too shocking!

So much so that many people had not yet reacted!

"That strike just now was the Fourth Form of the Seven Forms of Army Breaking!"

Li Yunjian, who was watching, stood up directly, his face full of shock.

He also cultivated the Seven Forms of Army Breaking and naturally knew how difficult this Martial Skill was to practice.

"He can perform the Fourth Form without Origin Energy, and his Basic Saber Technique, fist technique, and movement technique are all at the Realm of reaching perfection! What a Prodigy! His martial Foundation is deeper than anything I've ever seen; this is definitely not something that can be achieved by taking banned drugs!"

The expressions on the faces of the Principal and the other leaders were incredibly vivid—amazement, shock, confusion...

"Can I prove now that I haven't taken banned drugs?"

Chu Han stood with his saber and spoke to the Principal and other leaders.

The Principal snorted coldly and said, "Even if you show a certain level of martial talent now, who can guarantee this isn't the effect of those banned drugs? Moreover, as a student, you actually dealt such a heavy hand to a teacher and were disobedient. Based on this alone, I can cancel your Wilderness Training results!"

As the high-and-mighty Principal, he didn't allow any student to be so arrogant unless they had awakened a powerful talent.

And Chu Han clearly didn't meet the criteria yet.

"Fine. Since that's the case, I, Chu Han, don't care to stay in this Jiangcheng Third Middle School anymore! From today on, I choose to quit Jiangcheng Third Middle School; I am no longer a student of your school!"
