“What speed!”
“That’s right, it was only one move. He didn’t even get the chance to react before it was over!”
“They’re both in the Qi Sea Stage. How could there be such a huge gap?!”
“The gap between the elites of the ordinary class and the elites of the focus class is outrageous!”
Many people who saw the results of the battle were dumbfounded. Some of them had just arrived to take a look and it was already over. Even many of the teachers were dumbfounded. Chu Yunfan was one of the top
students in the focus classes, so there were naturally many teachers watching him through the surveillance cameras. With wide eyes, they saw him knock that tall student to the ground in one move, especially that
student’s homeroom teacher. At this moment, his expression was unsightly.
That student was one of the outstanding students in his class. This year, this student had the potential to enter the focus class, yet in the end, he was knocked down with a single blow. The difference between the focus
class and the ordinary class was indeed great.
Chu Yunfan stepped out of the arena. The student who had been knocked down by him was also hurriedly carried down by the school staff to receive treatment. Fortunately, after looking him over, although that
student had been knocked out with a single blow, his injuries were not too serious. He was just a little winded. As long as he received treatment, he would be able to continue participating in the ranking battle.
Although Chu Yunfan had been annoyed by the student’s aggressive attitude, he had not acted ruthlessly.
At this moment, other than the principal, the school affairs director, and the other higher-ups of the school—Qin Wu and Jin Feng—were gathered near the podium. Moreover, they were engaged in a completely
different conversation.
“Jin Feng, do you want to take a gamble? This time, will there be more students from your Class 1 or my Class Two who will enter the top 502” Qin Wu mused, “Originally, I wanted to bet with you who the champion
would be. But considering that it’s not the first time your class’s Zhang Teng has lost to my class’s Ou Yang, betting such a thing with you would be like bullying you!”
Jin Feng’s expression soured, but he still said, “All right, let’s make a bet. How about we up the stakes? 100,000. How about it?”
He knew the situation in his class. Although Zhang Teng had always been on par with Ou Yang, his student had lost more than he won. If they were to bet on who would be the champion, Jin Feng would not be
interested.
“Okay!” Qin Wu said.
Suddenly, Qin Wu saw Chu Yunfan’s performance and saw that Chu Yunfan had easily finished off that student from the ordinary class. He could not help but nod slightly. Chu Yunfan had given him quite a surprise.
Now, he did not know even where Chu Yunfan would end up.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan had met up with Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi. Unless their luck was bad in the first round, there would be no accidents. The few of them did not have to wait for long before the second
round began.
Chu Yunfan stepped into the arena once again. Inside, there was already a student waiting. However, when he saw Chu Yunfan, he could not help but reveal a bitter expression.
This student was also a student of the focus classes. It was just that he was a student of Class 1. Speaking of which, Chu Yunfan could be considered to have quite a deep relationship with Class 1. He had exchanged
blows with the students of Class 1 several times.
“Why is it you?” The student of Class 1 said in a depressed manner. Of course, he knew Chu Yunfan. He was one of the best in the focus classes. It was rumored that he was only second to Ou Yang and Zhang Teng.
“Why can’t it be me? All this depends on luck!” Hearing him ask this question, Chu Yunfan felt that it was funny.
“Fine, it’d be better if I just admit defeat. It’s not that I don’t want to win glory for my class, but I definitely can’t beat you. Why would I still go ahead with this match? I’ll just be giving you a chance to beat me and I won’t
be able to win. I can’t do something like this!”
That student had been calm and easygoing. But after seeing that it was Chu Yunfan, he immediately admitted defeat. The level of Chu Yunfan’s power was clear to everyone.
“What? You’re just going to give up on this round?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“What else can I do? There are still nine rounds left. 1 can save some energy and win over someone else! Sigh, what bad luck. Didn’t I consult the almanac before going out today? Why am I meeting such a monster
when I just started!” As the student spoke, he jumped down from the arena.
Chu Yunfan did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he gave the student a thumbs up in his heart. If that student had not understood what was good for him and charged forward, there would be no other
outcome than getting beaten up by Chu Yunfan for nothing.
Chu Yunfan had only ever heard of a person’s opponent surrendering. Only those well-known students in the school enjoyed such treatment. And now, he was one of those students. In just a few months, he had
changed a lot.
Besides Chu Yunfan, Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi’s second round also went off without a hitch. For the current Chu Yunfan, the early stages of this ranking battle were not difficult at all.
In the ranking battle, the later the opponent was, the stronger the opponent would be. This was because those who would be matched up together by the computer would have similar points. If your points were high,
your opponent’s points would also be high.
The third round.
The fourth round.
The fifth round.
The sixth round.
After another four rounds, Chu Yunfan used his fastest speed to finish off his opponents. His opponents would either surrender or put up a fight, but none of them would not be able to hold out past a single strike.
There was no suspense. Although the opponents he met were getting stronger and stronger, after the fifth round, they were all students from the focus classes. There was no one from the ordinary class. But when they
faced Chu Yunfan, their struggles were futile.
One move was still just one move. No one could block a single one of his moves, and no one could force him to use a second move. However, in the seventh round, a problem arose. And it was not on Chu Yunfan. It was
Gao Hongzhi!
“Cough, cough!” Gao Hongzhi was coughing up blood. After letting out a few bloodied coughs, he finally let out a sigh of relief and said, “I’m finally much better!”
“What’s wrong? Who did you meet?” Chu Yunfan asked. He had a deep understanding of Gao Hongzhi’s strength. Although his friend was much weaker than him, there was still hope for Gao Hongzhi to enter the top
ten. Now, he had been beaten up until he coughed up blood.
“I met Zhang Teng. He’s too powerful. I didn’t even last fifteen moves against him before I was defeated!” Gao Hongzhi said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that you’re my sparring partner these days, I wouldn’t have been able
to handle even three moves from him. All these years, his fame was not baseless!”
“That’s right. He’s as famous as Ou Yang. If he doesn’t have some skills, how could he be as famous as Ou Yang? It’s normal for you to lose to him. Don’t be discouraged!” Chu Yunfan comforted him.
“You don’t have to comfort me. Do I look like I’ll be defeated by such a setback? We’re still young. Who can say for sure about the future? I’ll surpass him sooner or later!” Gao Hongzhi waved and said, “But you have to
be careful. It’s best not to meet him. However, according to your current situation, there aren’t many people who have the same points as you. The probability of meeting him is very high!”
“It’s good that you ran into him. I’ll get revenge for you!”
Chu Yunfan was not afraid and said with a smile.
Unfortunately, Gao Hongzhi’s prediction was right. Chu Yunfan’s opponent in the eighth round was none other than Zhang Teng..
