18: Chapter 18 Blocking the Door! Qualifications? Utter arrogance! Is this enough?!

Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.

It is the martial arts high school with the best educational resources, faculty, and student body in Jiangcheng.

Every person in Jiangcheng takes pride in their child being able to enter Jiangcheng No. 1 High School!

Because as long as they get in, there is a 20% probability of becoming a martial artist!

Unfortunately, to enter Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, one must either have outstanding talent, unlike the ordinary, or possess "money power"—the ability to pay exorbitant tuition fees to get in.

Because in martial arts training, the two most important aspects are talent and resources!

Generally speaking, when students from Jiangcheng No. 1 High School walk outside, they look at people with their noses in the air; this is no exaggeration.

Because Jiangcheng No. 1 High School adopts a closed-off educational system, and its location is somewhat special, basically no one comes near this area.

Therefore, when Lu Qingyun arrived here, the security guards at the gate barely even noticed.

Until... the gate was blown open!

"No. 7 High School, Lu Qingyun. Acting under the orders of Principal Mu Mingsheng, I have come to challenge all you students!"

"People of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, get out here!"

Under the infusion of blood energy, Lu Qingyun's voice spread extremely fast. It was deafening!

He glanced faintly at the security guards trembling as they walked out of the security room, paying them no mind.

Instead, he deliberately made a gesture for them to go call people.

After a day and night of non-stop training, he had already mastered the four newly acquired martial arts techniques.

What he considered "mastered" meant that he had cultivated the three martial arts techniques, excluding the Mortal Aperture Style, to the grandmaster level!

As for the Mortal Aperture Style, it had also reached the level where it could open two virtual apertures.

In the eyes of Principal Mu Mingsheng, it was already extremely difficult for Lu Qingyun to cultivate these martial arts to proficiency within the time remaining before the Martial Examination.

That was why he had set the date for the day before the Martial Examination.

But... Lu Qingyun couldn't wait that long!

There were nearly two months left until the Martial Examination!

To be stuck here, unable to move for such a long time, was ridiculous!

Therefore, after finishing all the remaining martial arts, he came here single-handedly!

What he wanted to do was not just to challenge the entire Jiangcheng No. 1 High School!

The Xing Family young master he was obsessed with, and his dear distant cousin Lu Tianshun, were both inside this Jiangcheng No. 1 High School!

The only pity was that there was still a bitch he couldn't deal with under the name of Principal Mu Mingsheng.

"Huff—, huff—!"

In the distance, a teacher from No. 7 High School ran over, panting.

Upon seeing the Jiangcheng No. 1 High School gate that Lu Qingyun had shattered, his face turned pale.

Thinking of what Principal Mu Mingsheng had said on the phone earlier, his face became even uglier, but he still spoke:

"Lu Qingyun, the principal told you not to lose face for him by falling too quickly."

"Also... try not to use lethal force if possible."

After saying this, he retreated to the distance without leaving, as if to verify Lu Qingyun's identity.

To prevent anyone from playing dumb and shamelessly entering the fray.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyun was somewhat surprised.

He had thought that Principal Mu Mingsheng had sent someone to persuade him to go back.

After all, yesterday, after so much nagging, he had finally managed to dismiss the idea of going to Jiangcheng No. 1 High School immediately.

Now, only a day had passed, and he had come straight here.

Normally, one would have people drag him back.

What Lu Qingyun didn't know was that half of his background was already known to Principal Mu Mingsheng.

Just the fact that he had comprehended saber intent was enough for Principal Mu Mingsheng to be confident in his solo trip to Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.

Even if he didn't win in the end, just the fact that he had comprehended saber intent before the Martial Examination was enough for him to spit in the face of that old thing at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.

If they had arrived in time, before Lu Qingyun had started, they could have tried to call him back.

But since the gate was already broken and the face-slapping had begun, it naturally couldn't be stopped!

Tap! Tap!!

A ruddy-faced, spirited old man, surrounded by a group of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School teachers, came to Lu Qingyun.

He saw the shattered gate, and his expression turned gloomy.

"Where is Principal Mu Mingsheng? Have him come out."

As the principal of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, he was considered a big shot with status in all of Jiangcheng.

Wang Jincheng did not want to talk to a junior; to him, he felt this would diminish his dignity!

Behind him, the teacher from No. 7 High School wanted to step forward but was stopped by Lu Qingyun with a wave of his hand.

He looked at Wang Jincheng, wearing the same gentle smile as Principal Mu Mingsheng, and started making things up: "Principal Mu said, this little matter can be handled by me alone. I hope Principal Wang can make it convenient—either call someone out for a fight, or just admit defeat here, and I can go back and report."

"I suggest... you choose the second option and just admit defeat. Otherwise, I fear that fists and feet have no eyes, and if some of your school's good seedlings get too badly injured and miss the Martial Examination, the loss will outweigh the gain. I personally have a bit of confidence in my own strength."

Hearing this, the teachers behind Wang Jincheng could no longer sit still.

Their Jiangcheng No. 1 High School covered the vast majority of good seedlings in Jiangcheng!

They had seen countless prodigies, and every year, several of them were admitted to key martial arts universities!

The person in front of them, whom they had no impression of at all, actually dared to speak such big words; it was simply laughable!

"Confidence? Just because you are at the fourth level of the Mortal Shedding Realm?"

"This level of cultivation might be enough to be confident at No. 7 High School. But do you know where you are now?"

"Fourth level of the Mortal Shedding Realm, just stepping into the middle stage of the Mortal Shedding Realm, you can't even touch the threshold of a key martial arts university! If you were at my Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, I'm afraid you wouldn't even make the top twenty!"

"The principal of No. 7 High School is truly muddled. To think he was airdropped in, yet his judgment is so low!"

Listening to the words of the various Jiangcheng No. 1 High School teachers, Wang Jincheng's gaze was calm as he said: "Coming alone to challenge the students of my Jiangcheng No. 1 High School is fine."

"However, you must first show your qualifications. Otherwise, since it is currently the sprint period before the Martial Examination, I don't want just anyone coming along and wasting a lot of their time."

"How will you prove it?"

Hum—!!

A long saber hanging at the waist of a Jiangcheng No. 1 High School teacher suddenly unsheathed, emitting a light hum, as if resonating with something!

The next moment, an extremely powerful saber intent surged out from Lu Qingyun's body!

It raged all around, its sharpness so intense that many Jiangcheng No. 1 High School teachers felt fear and instinctively retreated!

"Saber intent!!"

Upon feeling this intent, Wang Jincheng exclaimed, his eyes shining brightly!

He stared fixedly at Lu Qingyun, his eyes full of heat!

But when he thought that this person was not from his Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, but rather someone from No. 7 High School coming to cause trouble!

The heat in his eyes instantly dissipated, turning into deep wariness!

"Is this... enough?"

Lu Qingyun did not move, standing between heaven and earth.

His entire aura was terrifyingly formidable, making some of the weaker Jiangcheng No. 1 High School teachers dare not even look directly at him.

Comprehending saber intent before the Martial Examination.

This kind of monstrous aptitude—if this still didn't count as having qualifications, I'm afraid people would laugh at it if it were said aloud!

Wang Jincheng was naturally not that stupid.

Although extremely unwilling, he still relented and accepted this challenge.

However, the form of the challenge he set was filled with cunning!
