Liu Chuanwu retorted defiantly, "Short-sighted, utterly foolish!"

Ma Zhenhe: "Are you talking about yourself?"

"..."

Yuan Dongzhi cast a glance at the two men and shook his head helplessly.

One nearly a hundred years old, the other several decades old, yet both enjoyed bickering like children. All those years lived in vain.

...

Meanwhile.

On the Martial Stage. .net

Tan Wanyi looked at Lin Zichen with a mocking smile, her eyes slightly contemptuous, "King of newcomers, I'll give you the chance to make the first move so you don't end up like your girlfriend, defeated before you can even strike. That would be too disappointing."

"Okay."

Lin Zichen responded without any hint of emotion in his voice.

The moment the words fell,

his body suddenly transformed into an afterimage!

At a speed invisible to the naked eye!

He charged fiercely towards Tan Wanyi!

At the same moment,

Tan Wanyi, who had appeared calm, suddenly changed her facial expression.

She immediately exerted force under her feet!

The entire person sprang up like a flea, soaring several meters into the air!

"What's going on?!"

"What was that intense oppression that made it hard to breathe just now?!"

"And, why do I have a feeling that I just escaped death?!"

Tan Wanyi, flapping her wings, hovered above the Martial Stage, her face still shocked as she looked down at Lin Zichen.

The moment Lin Zichen charged over, her instinct for sensing danger went wild, forcing her to disregard her image and instinctively choose to take to the sky to evade.

She always felt that being a moment slower might have resulted in her death on the Martial Stage.

"How can the vice president not keep her word? She said she'd let Lin Zichen make the first move, so why did she run as soon as he moved?"

"Just playing games."

"No, seriously, you can play games like this? That's just disgusting!"

There was a burst of discussion from beneath the Martial Stage.

Listening to these voices, Tan Wanyi felt she couldn't hold her face, and her eyebrows involuntarily furrowed slightly.

Yet, she didn't descend back to the Martial Stage out of so-called face-saving.

Instead, she continued hovering high in the air, looking down at Lin Zichen from above.

"King of newcomers, I underestimated you just now."

"I've changed my decision now."

"I'll give it my all, as the greatest respect for your strength!"

After saving some face with these words and finding a good excuse for her next move,

Tan Wanyi did not hesitate; relying on her ability to fly and her absolute control of the airspace, she spread her sky-obscuring wings and shot a large number of feathers downward at Lin Zichen.

"Whiz! Whiz! Whiz..."

Along with a series of piercing sounds,

innumerable sharp feathers, like arrows, shot rapidly towards Lin Zichen!

Their target was his heart!

To give him a thorough heart-piercing!

Facing the feathers blasting towards him with the momentum of blotting out the sky,

Lin Zichen neither dodged nor avoided.

He did not move even a centimeter.

Just when everyone thought he would be pierced through by dozens, if not hundreds of feathers like Shen Qinghan just was,

suddenly!

A strange thing happened!

The feathers shooting towards him stopped abruptly at about a fist's distance from his chest, as if suddenly frozen in mid-air, suspended silently with no movement.

The next second!

An even stranger scene unfolded!

All the seemingly frozen feathers suddenly turned around at the same time, directly targeting Tan Wanyi above the Martial Stage.

Then, under the incredulous gazes of the onlookers—

"Whiz! Whiz! Whiz..."

All the feathers, transforming into streaks of white light barely visible to the naked eye, rapidly shot towards Tan Wanyi in the sky above the Martial Stage.

Tan Wanyi's face changed dramatically, and as soon as she realized what was happening, she immediately flapped her wings to flee.

However!

The speed of the feather shooting was too fast!

Tan Wanyi had just started to flap her wings when the next moment, she was pierced by countless feathers shooting up from below.

Under the powerful impact of the feathers,

Tan Wanyi was sent flying vertically upwards until she finally slammed hard into a central giant screen and stopped.

She was pinned motionlessly to the large screen.

At that moment,

the entire gymnasium fell into dead silence.

It was almost so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It was as if the Earth had stopped rotating.

About two seconds later, the venue suddenly erupted into an unbelievable outcry.

"What's going on?! What in the world just happened? How did those feathers suddenly stop, then abruptly change direction to shoot towards the vice president?!"

"That's so eerie! Does Lin Zichen possess some kind of supernatural ability?!"

"Spiritual power! I just sensed intense spiritual fluctuations coming from Lin Zichen, he just used spiritual power to control those feathers that the vice president shot at him through telekinesis!"

"Spiritual power?! He's just a freshman who's been in school for half a year, how could his spiritual power possibly be strong enough to perform telekinesis, and so skillfully at that?!"

"Could it be that the Pureblood Human Path not only strengthens the physical body but also enhances the spirit?"

"..."

Amidst the enthusiastic speculation of the bystanders,

All the school leaders were stunned, deeply shocked by the strength Lin Zichen had displayed.

They had thought that the fight between Lin Zichen and the student council vice president would be a fierce battle.

They had never imagined it would end so quickly.

It was just one round, and the student council vice president, with a Biological Level as high as High Level First Order, was instantly taken down, which was utterly incredible!

"President Liu, does that Blood Tempering Technique practiced by those on the Pureblood Human Path, in addition to strengthening the physical body, also enhance the spirit?"

The head of the Mechanical Academy asked curiously.

Liu Chuanwu shook his head and answered honestly, "No, Lin Zichen's strong spiritual power is due to his own unique physique."

Another genius with a unique constitution?!

...

Meanwhile,

The officers of the student council were all staring wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief, momentarily thinking they were hallucinating.

They found it hard to believe that the vice president, second in strength only to the president and the inspector general in the student council, could be instantly defeated by a freshman.

Even though this freshman was known as the strongest newcomer in the history of the school, they still found it preposterous.

If a freshman could instantly defeat the third strongest in the entire school, what would happen by the time he was a senior—could he blow up the president himself?

"President, what exactly is going on with Lin Zichen?"

The inspector general looked at Zhou Xuehong, furrowing his brows as he asked.

Zhou Xuehong glanced at Tan Wanyi, who was hanging by a thread on the giant screen, then over to Lin Zichen, who hadn't moved a step on the Martial Stage, and his brows furrowed even tighter than the inspector general's.

He had always thought that Lin Zichen's current strength was at most an Ordinary Ninth Order.

If Lin Zichen did not switch to the Genetic Fusion Path, he might be stuck at the Ordinary Ninth Order level for his entire four years in university, unable to advance further.

At best, he could continue refining his body until his graduation and reach Liu Chuanwu's strength, able to defeat a High Level First Order Genetic Integrator.

However!

The strength Lin Zichen had just displayed far exceeded his understanding.

Without moving an inch throughout, he had instantly taken down Tan Wanyi solely with his powerful spiritual power.

If his spiritual power was that strong,

wouldn't his Qi-Blood be even stronger?

What was Lin Zichen's Qi-Blood Strength then?

High Level First Order?

The pinnacle of High Level First Order?

Or even... High Level Second Order?!

The more Zhou Xuehong thought about it, the more his face filled with doubt, and he was engulfed by a deep sense of powerlessness.

Before today, he had always thought that his only rival during his student days was Li Yijin from Kyoto University.

But now he realized that the biggest rival of his student days might not be Li Yijin, but Lin Zichen, who was now standing on the Martial Stage.

Lin Zichen, having just passed half of his first year, already had such heaven-defying strength.

If given another half a year to develop, wouldn't he, the top student of Shanhai University, also become his defeated subordinate?

At that thought,
