Invincible Over the World-Chapter 55 Challenging All the Newcomers
55: Chapter 55 Challenging All the Newcomers
55 -55 Challenging All the Newcomers
“I didn’t expect you, a piece of trash recommended for registration, to actually dare to come!” Xiong Mei Qi said coldly upon seeing Huang Xiaolong’s arrival.
Huang Xiaolong’s face remained indifferent, “Why shouldn’t I come?
Wait till the new student testing begins.
I’ll make it into the top ten, but I’m afraid you might go back on your word!”
Xiong Mei Qi’s eyes glinted with a chilling light, “I, Xiong Mei Qi, never go back on my word!”
Having taken his place among the crowd, Huang Xiaolong looked indifferent even as the blonde Jiang Teng gave him a harsh, disdainful stare.
At that moment, Li Lu approached Huang Xiaolong, worry written all over her face, “Xiao Long, can you really make it into the top ten later?”
Li Lu was unaware of the event at the Huang Family Manor’s annual meeting where Huang Xiaolong had displayed his Fourth-stage Early Stage strength and defeated Li Wei in one fell swoop.
“Don’t worry.” Huang Xiaolong gave Li Lu a reassuring glance.
After a while, when Xiong Mei Qi saw that everyone had arrived, she began to describe the content and method of this new student test.
The best way to assess a new student’s strength was through combat trials.
Therefore, the test would consist of students fighting each other.
Each round would split into five groups, with opponents decided by drawing lots.
The five winners from each round would advance to the next, determining the top ten ranks at the end.
The venue for the trial was the square.
Since today was the new student testing day, numerous year-one, year-two, and even year-three students surrounded the square.
However, just as Xiong Mei Qi finished explaining the test method and content, a voice rang out, “Mr.
Xiong, isn’t that too troublesome?
How about this: I’ll take on everyone’s challenge.
Whoever can last the longest under my attack will get a higher ranking!”
The crowd was taken aback and turned to look; the one who had spoken was none other than Jiang Teng!
Upon Jiang Teng speaking, his proposal immediately stirred up the older students gathered around.
“This kid is that Jiang Teng with the Super Martial Soul, Bright Holy Tiger?
So arrogant!
He wants to take on all the new students’ challenges by himself!”
“But arrogance comes with strength!”
The older students debated among themselves.
Xiong Mei Qi was taken aback.
Jiang Teng taking on all new student challenges by himself?!
There were nearly a hundred new students this year.
At a corner of the square stood two tall, elder men.
One of them was none other than the Vice Principal of Star Sky Academy, Xiong Chu, and the other had notably large eyes and, especially, ears twice the size of an average person’s, leaving a strong impression.
“Principal Sun, young master Jiang Teng is still too impetuous,” said Xiong Chu to the elder, “Though his strength is formidable, there are nearly a hundred new students this year.
How can he possibly take them all on?”
The elder was none other than the Principal of Star Sky Academy, Sun Zhang.
Sun Zhang appeared unconcerned and smiled, “No problem.
It’s normal for a young kid to be full of vigor.
Besides, with a Super Martial Soul like the Bright Holy Tiger, he’s got the ability.
Don’t underestimate it.
Despite there being nearly a hundred new students, don’t forget what the Bright Holy Tiger is capable of!”
Implicit in Sun Zhang’s words was the notion that with Jiang Teng’s current strength, he could easily take on the challenge of nearly a hundred new students!
Xiong Chu was at a loss for words.
“You’ll understand soon enough,” Sun Zhang said to Xiong Chu with a smile.
As Xiong Mei Qi hesitated over whether to seriously consider letting Jiang Teng take on all the new students’ challenges by himself, she heard her father, Xiong Chu’s voice in her ear.
Everyone looked at Xiong Mei Qi, waiting for her decision.
After a moment, Xiong Mei Qi surveyed the crowd and then nodded to Jiang Teng, “Fine.”
Fine!
Xiong Mei Qi had no sooner spoken than a buzzing commotion arose from all around.
Xiong Mei Qi had actually allowed Jiang Teng to face all the newcomers’ challenges alone!
At this time, Xiong Mei Qi stepped forward, waved her hands, and marked out a large, ten-meter radius circle in the plaza.
The competition would take place within this circle, with stepping out of the circle amounting to a loss.
Jiang Teng was the first to leap into the circle, landing with his hands behind his back.
He stood tall and swept his gaze over the crowd, “Who dares to come at me first?” His demeanor was full of pride.
As Jiang Teng’s voice fell, a brief silence ensued.
“I’ll go!” At that moment, a rather chubby fellow leaped into the air and landed within the circle.
Instantly, glimmers of light flickered all over his body, and he summoned his Martial Soul behind him—it was a chubby one resembling a Shaluo Beast with two soft, drooping antennae on its head, looking extremely adorable.
Many of the new students couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing it.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head in amusement.
This guy’s Martial Soul looked rather comical, but Huang Xiaolong, who had browsed through the library a few days ago, recognized that the chubby one’s Martial Soul was a Top Level Tenth Grade Martial Soul called Earth Dragon.
The Earth Dragon wasn’t a true member of the Dragon Clan but an Sub-dragon Clan with a trace of Dragon Clan bloodline.
The chubby one summoned his Martial Soul and dashed toward Jiang Teng, throwing a punch that was surprisingly powerful.
Huang Xiaolong could tell that the chubby one had reached the Third-stage Mid Stage.
However, even though the chubby one had reached the Third-stage Mid Stage, he was far from a match for the Fourth-stage Jiang Teng.
Jiang Teng watched as the attack from the chubby one drew near, then casually lifted his left hand, released his Fighting Energy, and struck back with a fierce punch.
“Bang!” A small echo resounded as the chubby one was sent reeling back by Jiang Teng’s Fighting Energy, his fatty body trembling uncontrollably.
He was pushed to the very edge of the Light Aperture.
Jiang Teng stood still and casually waved his hand through the air, sending the chubby one flying out of the Light Aperture.
With a Top Level Tenth Grade Martial Soul and being in the Third-stage Mid Stage, the chubby one was defeated!
And it all happened in just three breaths!
The crowd watched, buzzing once again.
Six more new students came forward one after another, all of them defeated in turn.
The one who lasted the longest only sustained four breaths, while the quickest was defeated in a single breath.
After defeating the seventh person, Jiang Teng’s body suddenly shone with a burst of light from his feet up, growing more and more luminous.
The brilliance flickered, and Jiang Teng, having seemed somewhat fatigued from the seven consecutive matches, regained his vitality.
“Is that Fighting Energy restoration?!” Some of the older students exclaimed in surprise as they witnessed this.
Fighting Energy restoration!
After breaking through to the Fourth-stage, Jiang Teng’s Bright Holy Tiger had evolved, and his innate Soul Skill turned out to be Fighting Energy restoration, an exceptionally strong ability!
At a distance, Xiong Chu was also astounded.
Only now did he understand why Headmaster Sun Zhang had said that Jiang Teng could easily handle nearly a hundred newcomers’ challenges.
After each victory, given a short time, Jiang Teng could recover the Fighting Energy he had expended.
Even if there were dozens more new students, he could easily defeat them all!
Xiong Chu’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
Sun Zhang was also looking at Jiang Teng’s figure with a satisfied smile.
“In over a hundred years since our academy was established, no disciple from the Broken Blade Empire’s Imperial City Battle has ever ranked within the top hundred.
Now that Jiang Teng has appeared, he’s given us hope.
With our full support, in twenty years, Jiang Teng will undoubtedly break into the top thirty in the Imperial City Battle!”
Xiong Chu laughed heartily, “Twenty years from now, if Jiang Teng can break into the top thirty in the Imperial City Battle, it will be a century of glory for our Star Sky Academy.
By then, our academy will receive a great reward from the Emperor Duanren of the Broken Blade Empire!”
Sun Zhang nodded, his face beaming with a smile.
At this time, Huang Xiaolong stood among the crowd of new students, watching as Jiang Teng consecutively defeated seven opponents, radiating confidence and vigor, but he did not rush to make his move.
Just after Jiang Teng defeated the seventh person, suddenly, Li Lu, who was standing next to Huang Xiaolong, leapt into the air and landed inside the Light Aperture.
Seeing Li Lu stepping forward to challenge him, Jiang Teng sneered.
He knew this woman had a good relationship with that waste Huang Xiaolong who had come to register with a recommendation letter.
He glanced at Huang Xiaolong in the distance, then turned back to Li Lu, with a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.
(Brothers, where are your recommendation tickets?!
I’ve been getting an IV drip these past few days, so I got up early in the morning to write for you all, aiming to upload the first update before nine o’clock.)
