165: Chapter 165 He's definitely a relative of Principal Pang!

"Buzz—"

The next second.

Directly above the main hall, the largest holographic screen suddenly lit up!

[Red Team]: Class C, Li Si

[Blood Qi Value]: 9.8 (Tier 2 Peak)

[Record]: 2 Wins 0 Losses

[Blue Team]: Class F, Jiang You

[Blood Qi Value]: 7.9 (Tier 2 Mid-stage)

[Record]: 0 Wins 0 Losses

When these two sets of data appeared in stark contrast on the big screen, the teachers and students watching erupted into joyful laughter after a brief silence.

"Hahahaha! Did I see that right?"

"7.9? A Blood Qi Value of 7.9?"

"Is this the legendary SSS-rank? Is this the body that can withstand a Tier 5 Great Demon?"

"I'm dying of laughter! I already had 9.3 when I first entered my freshman year, okay?"

"Tier 2 Mid-stage? This level can be a captain in Class F? He must be a relative of Principal Pang!"

Even some seniors who had previously noticed Jiang You's information shook their heads with disdain after seeing this scene:

"7.9... Not even worth me making a move."

"It seems the previous rumors were all just hype."

...

Inside the virtual battlefield.

Jiang You didn't know he was being publicly humiliated in front of the whole school.

With a flash of light, he appeared in a simulated ancient Roman colosseum.

And thirty meters opposite him stood a burly man holding a nine-ring broadsword, his muscles bulging all over.

"Yo? Good luck!"

The burly man, Li Si, saw the information panel floating above Jiang You's head and was so happy his back teeth were about to fall out:

"Class F's Captain Jiang?"

"I was actually quite nervous when I heard you awakened an SSS-rank Supernatural Ability."

"But this is it? 7.9?"

"I, your grandpa, am 9.8! I'm almost at Tier 3! How are you going to fight this? Should I let you use one hand?"

Jiang You looked at the glaring [9.8] above the opponent's head, and the initial ecstasy in his heart cooled down slightly.

"Uh... 9.8?"

"That's nearly 2 points higher than me..."

Jiang You felt a bit nervous. After all, although he felt he had become stronger, he hadn't actually fought anyone yet.

"However..."

Jiang You narrowed his eyes. He could feel that even though the opponent's Blood Qi Value was higher than his, in his eyes, the opponent seemed to be full of flaws.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Jiang You took a deep breath, shoved his hands into his pockets, and tried his best to maintain the aura of an expert, though it was mostly to hide his nervousness:

"A high Blood Qi Value doesn't mean you can fight."

"Come on, let me see how tough 9.8 really is."

Li Si was enraged by Jiang You's indifferent attitude.

"You don't know what death is!!"

"Since you want to die, then your grandpa will grant your wish!"

"Spirit Technique—Earth Splitting Slash!"

Boom!

Li Si's spiritual energy surged, his 9.8 Blood Qi Value exploded with full force, and he rushed over like a crazed bull, kicking up sand filling the sky!

The earthy-yellow spirit light on the nine-ring broadsword in his hand condensed into substance, carrying the momentum to split mountains and rocks, and he slashed fiercely at Jiang You's forehead!

Outside, in the viewing hall.

Everyone held their breath, and some even covered their eyes.

"It's over!"

"The gap is too big! The strength is not on the same level at all!"

"Why isn't Jiang You moving? Is he scared stiff?"

However.

Just as the blade was less than half a meter from Jiang You's head, and the force of the wind had already tousled his bangs.

Jiang You finally moved.

"Hum—"

Deep within his pupils, a ghostly blue light flashed and vanished.

In Jiang You's field of vision, the world changed.

Li Si was no longer a fierce burly man, but a slow-motion model made of countless lines of spiritual energy.

His seemingly invincible slash, in Jiang You's eyes, was full of red vulnerabilities everywhere.

"This is too slow..."

Jiang You was surprised.

Is this the perspective of an SSS-rank Supernatural Ability?

His spiritual energy circulation got stuck under his right rib... that's his weak point!

Jiang You made no unnecessary movements.

He still had his hands in his pockets, and hadn't even moved his feet.

He just tilted his head slightly.

The range was minimal, only a few centimeters, but it accurately dodged the blade.

"Whoosh!"

That seemingly lethal slash just grazed his nose and missed!

"What!"

Li Si's pupils constricted. Because he used too much force and missed, his center of gravity became unstable, and he stumbled forward.

The right rib, which had originally been tightly guarded, was now like an open door, completely exposed to Jiang You without any defense.

In the vision of Jiang You's Eye of Tianshu, that position was flashing with a glaring red light, just missing a prompt arrow labeled "Please strike here."

"Good chance!"

Jiang You pulled his right hand out of his pocket abruptly, clenched it into a fist, and the muscles in his arm tightened instantly.

However.

Just in this split second, just as his fist was about to land.

Jiang You's movement... suddenly stopped!

Time seemed to have been pressed on the pause button at this moment.

In Li Si's terrified gaze, he saw Jiang You opposite him, currently frowning, his expression extremely serious, as if he were thinking about some major philosophical question concerning the survival of humanity.

But in reality, a fierce brainstorming session was taking place in Jiang You's Brain:

"Wait! Something's wrong!"

"I'm the Captain of Class F now, representing the hope of the whole village, and I'm even the SSS-rank Supernatural Ability user recognized by the whole school!"

"If I just throw a punch like this, without even a move name..."

"Wouldn't that make me seem uncultured? Lacking in style?"

"I see the protagonists in those hot-blooded manga, they all shout the name before unleashing their big moves. Rumor has it that shouting it adds a 200% damage bonus!"

"So what should I shout?"

Jiang You's Brain was spinning at high speed:

"Super Right Hook? No, too tacky."

"Black Tiger Steals Heart? Also no, too villainous."

"Since everyone says I am the Eye of Tianshu..."

Jiang You's eyes lit up. Looking at Li Si's big face, distorted by terror in front of him, a confident, wild laugh curled at the corner of his mouth.

He took a deep breath, centered his energy in his dantian, and instantly maxed out the style points for this punch!

"Take this!!"

Jiang You roared, his voice resounding through the entire virtual arena:

"This is a peerless divine skill I comprehended after a whole week of meditation, combining the power of the cosmic stars!"

"Eat this—!"

"[Tianshu, Star-Shattering, Ultimate Overlord Punch]!!!"

Outside, in the viewing hall.

The watching teachers and students: "..."

Principal Pang, who had just come over to inspect and had picked up his thermos, ready to take a sip of tea, shook his hand. The scalding tea spilled directly onto his crotch, but he didn't dare to cry out, his mouth just twitching wildly.

Teacher Gu Yan, who had specifically come to cheer for Jiang You, covered his face in pain, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into: "I don't know him... I really don't know him..."

Everyone was stunned by this long, chuunibyou-overflowing, and super-embarrassing name.

Inside the virtual battlefield.

Li Si, who was facing this blow directly, was scared out of his wits.

"Ultimate Overlord Punch? Sounds so fierce!"

"Could it be some kind of forbidden killing move?"

"Boom—!!!"

Accompanied by Jiang You's embarrassing roar, his ready-to-go right fist finally threw out!

Actually, this punch was just a normal right hook.

It could even be said that this was the most common kind of street-fighting flailing punch.

But in Jiang You's view, this punch carried the "dignity" of all the expensive supplements he had eaten these past few days!

"If I've eaten so many good things and still can't beat a Tier 2, what if Principal Pang sues me for fraud?"

"That red dot... that's the spot!"
