Chapter Fourteen: The Great Class Competition

  Three days later, Liu Shu Hai's internal organs also took on the same properties as his Qi and blood, skin and flesh, and his overall strength was once again elevated to a higher level.

  "Haha... Refine again!"

  Tian Gang Lian Ti Jue Fourth Layer, Refine the Meridians!

  Cultivators in the Gale Layer undergo wind blade tempering of their meridians. If they are slightly careless, their drilling power will be unable to circulate and can only be stored in the dantian, rendering it unusable. Be cautious, be cautious, be extremely cautious!

  Liu Shu's brilliant smile stopped the operation of his Gong Fa, allowing the fierce wind to sweep through his meridians.

  No matter how powerful you are, what can you do to me?

  "Whoosh!" A long spear appeared in his hand, and Liu Shu Hai wielded it with all his might.

  Elroy listened to the sound on his back, and a thread of heartfelt reverence flashed in his eyes.

  April 10th, 1939, on the vast playground of Bairling Academy.

  At this time, the huge drill ground was packed with all kinds of martial artists. They each had their weapons slung over their backs and stood in a neat formation, looking respectfully at a martial artist standing in front of them.

  "Is everyone present for the divisional competition starting now?" The man in green clothes at the front of the playground shouted loudly.

  As soon as the words fell, three Huangjue-level warriors quickly moved onto the training field and arrived in front of the man in green.

  "Reporting instructor! Two people have not arrived!"

  "Oh? Which two people?"

  The man in green clothes retorted, and all the warriors felt a chill on their backs, as if they had just walked through a life-and-death crisis.

  "Four-star Red Diamond Warrior Liu Shuhai, Two-star Red Diamond Warrior Feier." The Yellow Diamond level warrior hastily said.

  The man in blue thought for a moment and said, "Don't mind Fei'er, as for Liu Shuhai, if he doesn't show up within ten seconds, he will be expelled from school."

  "Yes!" One of the Huangjia Warriors shouted loudly, facing the training field and counting out loud: "One, two, three..."

  All the warriors showed a schadenfreude expression, and once Liu Shu Hai left, their chances of staying behind Ba Ling Academy increased.

  The man in blue clothes was also very angry. As a mentor of the college, he would never allow a slack member to exist under any circumstances.

  The yellow diamond warrior continued shouting: "Seven, eight..."

  Everyone was secretly delighted, and it only took two seconds. Even if Liu Shu Hai came, he couldn't appear on the playground.

  At this moment, a sudden and extremely fast breaking sound occurred.

  Everyone quickly turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a white figure like a swift arrow, rapidly running towards the front of the playground.

  Everyone's face revealed a shocked expression, because the speed of this match was so fast that even a six-star red diamond warrior couldn't see it clearly.

  "Disciple Liu Shuhai! I've seen the instructor!" A slightly panting voice sounded, and Liu Shuhai had already appeared in front of the man in green clothes.

  The man in blue clothes looked at Liu Shu Hai, and his eyes also flashed a hint of shock.

  At this time, Liu Shuhai was spotless all over his body. His 'upright' and slender body leaned back with a red long gun, but his breath was a bit disordered, and his face was slightly pale.

  "Have you just leveled up?" the man in green clothes asked.

  "The disciple had just grasped the fifth layer of the late-stage foundation-building method, but due to insufficient drilling power, he had not yet broken through." Liu Shuhai lied while bringing out the four-star red drill, and a wave of pressure was released from the original drill.

  Everyone was shocked again, the fifth layer of the late-stage Gongfa is not easy to comprehend? Once you smoothly enter the fifth layer, even ordinary seven-star red diamond warriors can win in one battle. Looking at Liu Shuhai's current Benming Yuandou, the red light on it shines brightly, and the drilling power rises, it looks like it's about to be upgraded.

  "Alright! Considering you have special reasons, your question will be temporarily set aside. Now, the match begins!" The man in green clothes said loudly. As soon as his voice fell, hundreds of circular arenas slowly rose up on the originally empty 'training' ground.

  "Now, let's proceed with the draw! 936 students will take turns drawing lots, and then every two adjacent numbers will compete on the stage. The use of strength-enhancing potions is prohibited, and no one is allowed to be seriously injured or killed. Those who violate this rule will be severely punished! Ten minutes later, all the instructors of the students will come here to watch, so everyone should prepare themselves." The man in green continued to shout in a stern voice.

  "Yes!" Nearly a thousand warriors shouted in unison.

  Before long, three Huang Diamond-level warriors moved in several large boxes and let the students 'draw' from them.

  The students rushed quickly to find pens in their boxes, with figures moving rapidly one after another.

  Liu Shuhai turned his head and looked around, searching for Feier's figure, but after searching the entire playground, he didn't see Feier's shadow.

  "Classmate! Do you know a trainee named Fei'er?" Liu Shuhai asked a slightly plump 'female' student.

  The girl with stars in her eyes said to Liu Shu Hai: "Fei Er hasn't come either! The instructor said not to pursue the matter."

  Liu Shuhai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Thanks, classmate! Now that I know, I can rest assured."

  Having said that, Liu Shuhai quickly moved over to the box and drew a lottery ticket.

  "This martial artist named Liu Shu Hai is so handsome!" Pang Niute said, looking at Liu Shu Hai's back.

  Soon, Liu Shuhai's drawn lot came out.

  Liu Shuhai's number is 97! His opponent is 98!

  Gradually, all the colleges got their own signs. Soon, hundreds of orange diamond-level warriors came to the 'exercise' field of primary students, they were the middle school of Bailian College, and also the referees of this competition. After a while, dozens of instructors flew in mid-air and landed under each arena.

  "The first 300 students, please gather on your respective arenas, the competition is about to begin!"

  A loud and clear voice rang out, three hundred colleges moved in unison, rushing towards their own arena.

  Liu Shu Hai looked around and found the 49th arena.

  Soon, many arenas have started martial arts competitions, and those warriors who haven't had their turn yet gather under the arena to watch others compete. The most warriors gathered under the arena where Liu Shu Hai is, after all, he just left a very deep impression on everyone.

  Liu Shu Hai's opponent was also a very powerful martial artist. His name was Wu Li, a nearly two-meter-tall Five-Star Red Diamond strongman.

  "Wu Li, please spare Liu's life!" Wu Li held a wide and long sword, pointing it at Liu Shuai.

  Liu Shuhai nodded and slowly drew out the Thunderbolt Gun from behind his back.

  A golden-belted referee jumped onto the stage and shouted loudly: "Begin!"

  "Whoosh!" The two instantly moved.

  ……

  At this time, a fierce battle also broke out in an office deep within the academy.

  Fei grasped the small waist with one hand and held a whip in the other, fiercely 'lashing' at an old man with a benevolent face and white beard. The old man's body was agile, but he didn't fight back, instead constantly dodging Fei's attacks.

  "My goodness! What you said can't be done! Even if I'm torn apart, it's useless." The old man said to Fei'er with a bitter face.

  ……

  "Hello! Don't stop me from living with Book Sea, or I'll pluck out all your whiskers! Let the students see what their principal looks like!" Fei said viciously.

  The old man stroked his chin, a flash of fear in his eyes, then pretended to be angry and said, "How dare you speak to your second grandfather like that? Be careful or I'll send you back to the Tutta Empire."

  When she heard the old man say that he was going back to the Empire, Fei'er's body trembled slightly, but then she changed her expression.

  "You're a wicked old man! You dare to do that and I'll die in front of you."

  Fei threw away her whip and pounced on the old man with a fierce cry, just like a small tiger.

  "Auntie, auntie! What you're saying is absolutely impossible. You let others talk about it, the prestigious Bailin Academy actually has students cohabiting! You... this is defying heaven!" The old man said directly from standing on the table. He didn't dare to lay a hand on Fei'er, in case he lost control of his strength and hurt her, someone would come after him for revenge.

  Seeing the good and saying the bad, the old man didn't loosen his mouth. Fei'er pouted, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

  The old man's forehead had countless black lines, who said crying was just a cry?

  "Alright, alright! Let's make a deal. If the person you're talking about wins first place in this New Life Competition, I'll agree to one of his requests. If he asks me to let you two live together, I'll swallow my pride and agree. By then, everyone will just say that Liu Shu Hai is being arrogant, they can't blame me for pushing the wave." The old man's eyes rolled around, a plan forming in his mind.

  Fei'er's eyes lit up, knowing there was a chance, so she hurriedly continued: "Second Grandfather! Don't pretend anymore, your face is as thick as anyone can tell, who among the super strong on the continent of Huaxia doesn't know? I'm afraid what you're worried about isn't your face, but rather suspecting Shuhai's strength?"

  "Cough, cough!" The old man coughed twice and said with a slightly red face: "You say if your father finds out that I let you live with a useless person, how will he treat me? Don't look at me as his second uncle, when he beats someone up, no one can stop him. But if that person is really talented, then he can't blame me either."

  Feier pretended to be deep in thought, considering for a long time before saying: "What you said is also right, my old man never listens to reason! Alright! If Shuhai gets first place, I'll agree to his three requests."

  "Alright! Three is three, the martial arts competition has already begun. Let's go take a look at that Book Sea you mentioned and see how many heads and arms it really has."

  The old man finished speaking and took Fei'er with him, disappearing instantly. The next moment, they had already appeared in the sky above the playground.

  "Wow! Second Grandfather! Your strength has improved, right? What's your current ranking in the Purple Diamond now?" Fei'er said to the old man while looking at the small black dot on the 'arena'.

  The old man took Fei down again and said lightly, "It's barely a five-star purple diamond! Not like your dad, who was a seven-star purple diamond at a young age!"

  While speaking, the old man had already arrived at the empty hundred-meter mark on the 'field'. However, none of the students and instructors could see him and Fei'er.

  At this time, Liu Shu Hai and Wu Li's battle also seemed to have entered a white-hot stage.

  "Drink!" Wu Li let out a loud shout, raised the giant sword that looked like a door panel, and brought down a fierce blow with red energy towards Liu Shuhai.

  Liu Shu Hai turned his hand over to grasp the end of the gun, sweeping the long spear horizontally while both feet stomped on the ground. His body sprang up into the air as he fully utilized both his internal energy and external strength.

  In the eyes of the students, Liu Shu Hai was incredibly brave at this moment, relying on his four-star Red Diamond strength to fight evenly with a five-star Red Diamond warrior. However, almost all the instructors understood that Liu Shu Hai had not yet gone all out. A person with 100 kilograms of strength, no matter how weak he pretended to be, would not deceive everyone.

  "What is Liu Shu Hai's actual strength really like?" All the instructors thought to themselves.

  Liu Shu Hai did not know that others had already seen through his hidden 'private' moves, at this time he was only using the power of the gun and the strength of his skin and flesh.

  However, even with just these two layers, they gradually gained the upper hand.

  Finally, Liu Shu Hai gave a brilliant smile, his long spear bypassed the giant sword and stabbed straight into Wu Li's right chest.

  Wu Li hastily turned the giant sword again to block Liu Shuhai's long spear, but Liu Shuhai's speed suddenly accelerated, steadily placing the long spear in front of Wu Li's chest, less than five centimeters away.

  "Number 49 wins! Liu Shuhai is victorious!" a Huang-level student shouted loudly.

  Liu Shu-hai bowed to Wu Li and then stepped down from the stage, going to watch the martial arts competition at another stage.

  "This Liu Shuhai is pretending to be weak! It seems that if we don't find him a formidable opponent to 'force' out his true strength, he won't reveal it!" The principal of the Baolong Academy said with a flicker in his eyes.

  ……

  Soon, the first 'wave' of trials ended, and all 468 students who advanced drew lots for the second time on stage.

  "First prize! How is it so accurate?" Liu Shuhai exclaimed in surprise, looking at the lottery ticket in his hand.

  At this time, the man in green shouted: "Students who drew numbers before 150, please take your positions on your respective stages."

  Liu Shuhai walked onto the first arena with a sullen expression.

  Liu Shu Hai's opponent this time was a sixteen-year-old girl with an oval face, slender waist, and long hair tied in a ponytail that reached her waist, but she was a rare beauty among humans.

  "Down with Liu Shu Hai! Please!" Liu Shu Hai bowed and said.

  The young woman didn't even give Liu Shu Hai a glance and said disdainfully: "If you admit defeat, I might still let you off."

  Liu Shu Hai's impression of this 'girl' changed instantly, and he said again: "Please!"

  "Ah! Someone's really looking for death! Fine! I'll just break a few dozen of your bones then." The woman said, and instantly a red glow appeared on her head, revealing a dazzling seven-starred red diamond.

  "Ah! Isn't this 'girl' Yang Aoxue?"

  "Right! One of California's three major families, the Yang family's eldest sister, is said to have defeated a strong opponent of the Eight-Star Red Diamond."

  "It's over! Liu Shu Hai is just a four-star red diamond after all."

  "This fight is over!"

  ……

  The students under the stage discussed it in a flurry, obviously seeing through the "daughter"'s identity.

  Looking at the majestic Seven-Star Red Diamond, Liu Shuhai also felt a bit apprehensive. These students were not comparable to ordinary warriors; they were all capable of skipping ranks in battle.

  Yang Aoxue said, as he moved, his body transformed into a residual shadow that quickly rushed towards Liu Shuhai. His slender body suddenly burst out with great force, like a galloping horse carriage crashing into Liu Shuhai.

  Liu Shu Hai had never seen such a move before, and Yang Ao Xue's speed was even faster than his. In an instant, Liu Shu Hai was knocked flying by a soft and delicate body.

  Although she had a soft and delicate body, Liu Shu Hai clearly felt that there was a huge power like the waves of the ocean emanating from her, layer by layer, acting on his body.
