Battle against Instructor Qi

In the afternoon class,

Lin Xiao noticed that many people were wilting, quietly slumped over their desks.

"Why must I endure such painful torment!"

Wang Ye, who sat beside him, was listless. Normally only concerned with eating, drinking, and having fun, running was never in his dictionary.

The morning training hadn't completely worn him out.

Lin Xiao shook his head as he watched Wang Ye continuously roll his eyes.

"I always told you to pay attention to your exercise. Look at all that fat on you."

"What do you know? I call this being robust!"

"Romantic young girls like me this way; they always cling to me."

"Do you understand a man's charm? Forget it, you're a virgin, so you wouldn't understand!"

"What a pity, a total waste!"

Wang Ye let out a stream of words. The morning training was truly exhausting, and he didn't know how much more hardship awaited him.

"Heaven, are you also displeased with my dashing demeanor? Is this your way of punishing me?"

"You fatso, stop talking! Because you dragged your feet, a few of us had to run extra laps with you!"

A guy sitting in front of him suddenly turned his head, looking at Wang Ye with a disappointed expression.

They were all part of the last echelon, but they had just barely made it within the time limit. However, this fatso acted as if he was dying, causing a few of them to run extra laps at Instructor Qi's request!

Wang Ye, knowing he was in the wrong, chuckled and buried his head.

Only Lin Xiao and the three A-rank Ability users remained relatively calm in the entire classroom.

A voice came from afar:

"Special training class, gather on the training ground!"

"Anyone not present within 1 minute will run 20 kilometers in 30 minutes!"

Hearing that it was the Instructor Qi's voice, everyone disregarded their physical discomfort and rushed to the training ground.

Before the time was up, everyone had gathered in the center of the training ground.

Many students had already developed a slight fear of Instructor Qi.

Instructor Qi looked at the group of students before him.

"This morning was the first lesson I taught you!"

"You should all be clear about the results."

"Does anyone still refute me when I say you are the worst class?"

At these words, most people flushed red because they had barely passed.

But several defiant ones still raised their heads, staring intently at Instructor Qi.

Lin Xiao was also a bit speechless.

Come on, buddy, saying it once was enough.

What, did he get addicted to saying it?

He wasn't a pushover, and he was just looking for someone to practice with after his Breakthrough in cultivation.

And so,

"Instructor, I disagree!"

Here it comes!

Heh heh, finally someone is being the trailblazer.

Instructor Qi's mouth curled slightly.

Why was he provoking these students so much? Wasn't it because he wanted a troublemaker to emerge so he could make an example of them?

Then he would display his powerful strength and then give them a sweet treat.

A balance of strictness and leniency.

So, he looked at Lin Xiao, "Oh? Is it you?"

"I know, you were first in the class for the morning running training."

"What, being first satisfies you?"

"Did a most basic running training make you conceited?"

"Kid, do you know? To me, someone like you is no different from the others."

"You're all trash!"

"On the battlefield, if someone like you can survive for even one day, I'll write my name 'Qi' backward."

"Mere 20 kilometers got you all like this. Out there, don't say you're a student of mine, Qi. I can't afford to lose face!"

The other students trembled. From childhood, they had basically been considered 'good kids' in everyone's eyes.

Wherever they went, they were praised. When had they ever experienced such humiliation?

Some thin-skinned girls even started crying.

Lin Xiao was silent. He wasn't angry, but neither in his previous life nor this one had he truly experienced a so-called battlefield, so he didn't know how cruel it actually was.

But in this life, he feared nothing.

Therefore,

"Instructor Qi, isn't even the most powerful existence built up step by step from weakness?"

"Perhaps currently, we are not that strong, but who can say what will happen in the future?"

"Besides, you haven't even tried, so how can you know my true Ability?"

After speaking, Lin Xiao looked provocatively at the Instructor Qi before him.

His other classmates, however, looked at him in astonishment.

Boss, you're truly brave!

You dare to challenge the Instructor Qi!

Admittedly, Instructor Qi had been verbally aggressive, but deep down, they had no intention of confronting him.

The reason was simple: they truly couldn't win.

Instructor Qi also smiled. He was just thinking of an excuse to make a Move, and he didn't expect this kid to have guts!

"Good kid!"

"Gutsy!"

"You're right, strong individuals are forged step by step through battle."

"How about this, you just had your Awakening yesterday, so I won't use my Ability when fighting you. If you win, I'll retract what I just said."

"If you lose…"

"Heh heh, then you'll obediently go back to me, and your training volume will be doubled!"

"Do you accept?"

"I accept!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Xiao directly agreed.

"However, Instructor, you should still use your Ability!"

After speaking, he ignored the other party's confused gaze, his body vibrated, and the energy fluctuation of a First Stage Middle Stage spread out.

Instructor Qi's pupils contracted. This aura, a First Stage Middle Stage Martial Artist. Something was wrong; he should have only had his Ability Awakening yesterday. How could he have already made a Breakthrough to First Stage Middle Stage today?

The powerful Ability fluctuation made the other special training class students around them feel oppressed, their breathing heavy, each one unable to believe their eyes.

"This... is this the fluctuation of a Martial Artist?"

"Lin Xiao, he... he made a Breakthrough to Martial Artist???"

"Who can hit me?"

"Slap!"

"Damn it, it's you again, you son of a bitch! My freshly healed face is swollen again from your slap!"

"So... so it means..."

"Holy crap! Lin Xiao really made a Breakthrough to Martial Artist?"

Zhang Tianran, standing in front, looked at Lin Xiao as if he were a monster.

He was considered one of the top-tier students in the first year of No. 3 Middle School. How could he feel so much like a waste when compared to Lin Xiao?

The other person had already made a Breakthrough to Martial Artist, while he was still fumbling with absorbing the heaven and earth's Ability into his body.

Is the gap between people really that big?

And Instructor Qi finally confirmed it; he had indeed reached the First Stage Middle Stage Realm.

"I have to say, Lin Xiao, you made me misjudge you. I don't care how you made a Breakthrough, but I retract what I just said."

"You are indeed different from them."

"Since that's the case, I will also fight you at the First Stage Middle Stage level!"

With that, as he waved his hand, the other students all dispersed, leaving the space for the two of them.

Instructor Qi looked at Lin Xiao, feeling a sense of emotion. In this place, he had actually encountered a Prodigy!

"Make your Move!"

He didn't make the first Move. Although they were in the same Realm, he had fought on the front lines for many years and had a deep foundation. With just his combat skills, he could stand undefeated.

"Instructor Qi, then please excuse me for offending you!"

As the words left his mouth, Lin Xiao pushed off with his feet, launching himself like a cannonball, rapidly attacking the other party.

He threw a punch.

Instructor Qi extended his palm, receiving the punch.

Fist met palm, and the powerful impact once again brought a look of astonishment to Instructor Qi's face!

"How can this kid's strength be so fierce!"

With one punch, he couldn't help but retreat several steps. He had intended to show off, but instead, he got slapped in the face.

"Instructor, please take this seriously!"

Lin Xiao stood still, his expression serious and solemn. He really wanted to know what his current level of strength was.

"Good kid, I truly underestimated you. Make your Move!"

After speaking, the two clashed again, fist against fist, you a punch, I a kick, and for a while, it was difficult to determine a winner.

The observing students were completely dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, is Lin Xiao really that amazing? He's fighting the Instructor Qi to a draw?"

"I heard from my family that Instructor Qi has quite a background; he's a Third Stage Late Stage cultivator!"

"Damn, Third Stage Late Stage? That awesome?"

"I'd be satisfied if I could Breakthrough to Third Stage in this lifetime. Are you telling me Lin Xiao is now fighting the Third Stage Instructor Qi to a standstill?"

"Didn't you see? Instructor Qi suppressed his cultivation; he's at First Stage Middle Stage, just like Lin Xiao."

"So what? Can you do it, Mr. Know-it-all?"

"Mr. Know-it-all, you know it all again??"

Wang Ye's big eyes stared at Lin Xiao in the arena.

"I'm rich, I'm really rich now. Holy crap, my brother is this fierce?"

"No way, tonight I must convince the old man to abdicate."

"I have to cling to this leg tightly! I need to think, what does Brother Lin need right now."

"As a subordinate, you have to be proactive."

The intense battle continued. Gradually, Lin Xiao began to fall behind. In terms of combat skills, he was too weak; this was his first time fighting someone.

Of course, Instructor Qi was also having a hard time. This kid's strength was too great, almost comparable to a First Stage Late Stage Martial Artist. Also, how was he so sensitive? Every time he was about to hit, he always managed to dodge.

Moreover, he noticed that this kid's combat awareness was constantly improving.

"What terrifying talent!"

After another clash, the two separated. Lin Xiao was a bit out of breath now, but he felt great.

Instructor Qi was also quite tired. He had to be constantly careful not to be hit by the opponent's fists. With that kid's strength, taking a hit would not be light.

"Instructor, I have one last Move! Be careful!"

After speaking, Lin Xiao gathered the Ability within his body, and the previously calm Void Realm suddenly split open.

"What?!!!"

Seeing the Void Realmcrack (fissure) before him, Instructor Qi simply couldn't believe his eyes.

What was this kid planning to do? What kind of Move was this, so terrifying?

"Blade of Nothingness!"

Numerous fragments flashed out from the broken fissure. These fragments, under Lin Xiao's control, converged into a sharp Blade, carrying a terrifying fluctuation, and attacked Instructor Qi.

Feeling the strong fluctuation within it, Instructor Qi's scalp tingled. He couldn't care about anything else and immediately unleashed his full strength, forming a defensive wall in front of his chest.

"Bang!"

A huge cloud of smoke filled the arena, and faintly, a "crack" of shattering could be heard.

After unleashing this Move, Lin Xiao collapsed onto the ground. This was a skill he had instinctively learned after his Time-Space Ability Awakening. He called it the Blade of Nothingness. Currently, this Move consumed too much energy and could only be used once in a fight.

He stared ahead. With Instructor Qi's strength, he was sure to handle it without a problem. He just didn't know what level of power this Move actually possessed.

Not long after, the smoke dissipated, and a figure stood within it.

The other students dared not make a sound; they had truly been frightened by what they had just witnessed.

Lin Xiao, terrifying indeed!

"Who won?"

Wang Ye also started to stammer.

"Lin Xiao!"

"You won!"

Instructor Qi's voice came from afar. Standing in place, he looked at a scar on his right palm, unable to speak for a long time.

"Lin Xiao won! Holy crap, awesome!"

"Who can hit me? Am I not dreaming!"

"Slap!"

"Hey, you missed. I knew you were going to make a Move!"

"Slap!"

"Damn it, why did you hit me again?"

"I'm checking if I'm dreaming. Turns out it's real!"

"Damn it!!!"

Lin Xiao heard this, slowly stood up, walked to Instructor Qi, and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Instructor."

He knew that if it were based on true skill, he wouldn't have won. Moreover, during the fight, Instructor Qi had consciously guided him, and he was very grateful.

Instructor Qi, however, was silent. He didn't know what to say.

"That Move of yours was fierce enough! In terms of destructive power alone, it has already reached the Third Stage level. You kid are truly a Prodigy!"

"Third Stage?"

Hearing Instructor Qi's words, Lin Xiao finally had a preliminary assessment of his current strength.

"Alright, you don't need to participate in today's training. Go back and rest!"

Instructor Qi waved his hand. Clearly, he was astonished by Lin Xiao's Prodigy-like talent.

"Then Instructor, this student will take his leave now." Lin Xiao bowed slightly before leaving the area.

Watching Lin Xiao leave, Instructor Qi felt a bit emotional. Then, his expression changed.

"What are you looking at?! You bunch of trash, everyone will run 50 kilometers with weights this afternoon! If you don't finish within an hour, an additional 10 kilometers will be added!"

"Ah!!!"

"Instructor, no!"

"I was wrong, Instructor, I'm trash, please spare me!"

Upon hearing the training content, the remaining students instantly wailed in misery.
