Jianchen's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He asked again, "Tie Ta, how strong are you now? For example, how much can you lift?"
"Back when I was at home, I could lift a boulder that weighed over four hundred kilograms," Tie Ta said rather proudly. His face was filled with pride when he said that.
Jianchen could not help but be stunned when he heard that answer. He looked at Tie Ta with a strange gaze. Even a normal adult would not be able to lift a boulder that weighed over four hundred kilograms. Jianchen found it unbelievable that Tie Ta could lift a boulder that weighed over four hundred kilograms at such a young age.
"Tie Ta, how old are you this year?" Jianchen looked at Tie Ta in a different light now.
"16 years old," Tie Ta mumbled as he chewed on the food in his mouth.
Jianchen looked at Tie Ta in a different light again. He asked, "Tie Ta, have you always been this strong since you were young?"
"Yeah, I've always been stronger than others since I was young. However, I also ate more than others. Back when I was at home, I often didn't have enough to eat, so I often went into the mountains alone to hunt and roast the food myself." Tie Ta's tone was very calm.
Jianchen took a deep breath. He was now certain that Tie Ta was born with great strength. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to lift a boulder that weighed over four hundred kilograms at such a young age. What shocked Jianchen even more was that Tie Ta often went into the mountains alone to hunt. Jianchen could not help but think more highly of Tie Ta when he was only sixteen years old. After all, not only were there wild beasts in the mountains, there would also be one or two magical beasts that would occasionally appear. The strength of magical beasts was not something that wild beasts could compare to.
At this moment, Tie Ta rubbed his stomach in satisfaction. He stood up from the stool and chuckled at Jianchen. "Changyang Shōten, I'm full. I'm going back to my dorm to rest. There's still a competition tomorrow."
Jianchen nodded with a smile. "I hope you can make it into the top three in the finals tomorrow."
Tie Ta nodded firmly. His eyes were filled with determination. He said, "I will definitely work hard and try to make it into the top three. A Class 1 Monster Core can usually be sold for ten purple coins."
Not long after Tie Ta left, Jianchen hurriedly finished his dinner and returned to his dorm. Just as he closed the door, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Fourth brother, are you there?" Changyang Hu's voice sounded from outside.
Jian Chen was slightly stunned when he heard that. He never thought that it would be his elder brother who had disappeared for two whole days. Jianchen immediately opened the door and called Changyang Hu.
"Fourth brother, did you successfully advance in the new student competition?" Changyang Hu looked at Jianchen as soon as he entered the room. He couldn't wait to ask.
Jianchen nodded slightly. "I've already advanced to the top eight. Tomorrow is the final battle."
Changyang Hu's face immediately lit up with joy when he heard that. He said excitedly, "Fourth brother, you're really amazing. No wonder you came to Kargath Academy earlier than second sister and third brother." Saying that, Changyang Hu took out a thumb-sized crystal and stuffed it into Jianchen's hand. He said, "Fourth brother, this is a Class 1 Monster Core. I got it from killing a Class 1 Monster Beast in the forest behind the academy with a few friends. Big brother specially prepared it for you. Take it and use it. Alright, it's getting late. Big brother won't disturb you any longer. Tomorrow is the final battle. Fourth brother, you must work hard and try to get first place." After he finished speaking, Changyang Hu turned and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.
The moment Changyang Hu closed the door, Jianchen's eyes inadvertently caught sight of a three inch long wound on Changyang Hu's right arm.
Silently looking at the Class 1 Monster Core in his hand, he could feel the lingering warmth from it. For a moment, Jian Chen found it hard to calm down.
Although it was only a Class 1 Monster Core, Jianchen could clearly feel his big brother Changyang Hu's concern for him from this Monster Core. Looking at the wound on Changyang Hu's arm when he left, Jianchen didn't need to think to know that it was from hunting a Monster Beast. Thinking of this, Jianchen couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Suddenly, an emotion that had never appeared in his previous life appeared in his heart.
After standing blankly in the room for a moment, Jianchen finally took in a long breath and gradually calmed himself down. Then, he directly went to the bed and sat down cross-legged, continuing to cultivate. As for the Class 1 Monster Core, Jianchen didn't use it. Instead, he placed it in his spatial belt. With regards to tomorrow's battle, Jianchen had strong confidence that he would be able to obtain first place. After all, in his previous life, he was a peerless expert who stood at the pinnacle of the world. Although he lost his powerful cultivation after reincarnation, the various sword techniques that he grasped as well as his attainments in the way of the sword had already been deeply imprinted into the depths of his soul. These were not lost. These would be the strong capital that Jianchen would have in the future when he moved unhindered across the continent.
Early the next morning, Jianchen immediately went to the location of the martial arts competition after eating breakfast. Perhaps it was because the final victor would be decided today, so there were a lot more spectators than the previous two days. The extra spectators were almost all the older students of the academy.
The martial arts arenas on the field had been adjusted last night. From the original five arenas, there were now four arenas. Not only was the area larger than the previous arenas, but the hardness of the arenas was also incomparable to yesterday's arenas.
Right at this moment, Jianchen seemed to have felt something. He slightly turned his head and saw his big brother, Changyang Hu, trying his best to push through the crowd and walk towards him.
Noticing Jianchen's gaze, Changyang Hu grinned. He quickly pushed aside the people in front of him and came to Jianchen's side. He reached out his hand and patted Jianchen's shoulder. He chuckled and said, "Fourth brother, you must work hard today. Big brother doesn't expect you to obtain first place. As long as you can enter the top three, that's enough." For Changyang Hu, the Monster Core reward from the competition was only a small matter. The most important thing was the ranking. Although Class 1 Monster Cores were expensive, they weren't in the eyes of the young masters of Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen smiled and said, "Big brother, you can rest assured. I will definitely not disappoint you."
Soon, it was time for the competition. This time, the top four would be chosen from the top eight. After drawing lots to choose their opponents, Jianchen immediately went up the stage. Not long after, his opponent also slowly walked up the stage. However, what surprised Jianchen was that his opponent was actually a girl. To be precise, it was the girl who had a conflict with him before — Kadiqiuli.
Kadiqiuli was wearing a dark red outfit. Although she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, her body had developed very well. She had curves in all the right places and was slim in all the right places. The tight fitting outfit perfectly outlined her slender figure that belonged to a woman. Coupled with her naturally beautiful face and tender skin, she had the capital to move the hearts of ordinary men. There was no doubt that Kadiqiuli would become a great beauty that could cause the downfall of a country in the future. However, perhaps because she was born in a large family, there was always a trace of arrogance between her brows.
Jianchen stood on the stage with his bare hands. The reason why there was a freshmen competition was because Kargath Academy wanted to distinguish the potential of each freshmen through this format. Therefore, the competition didn't allow the use of weapons at all. Moreover, before reaching the strength of a saint, it was impossible to condense a saint weapon in one's body. Therefore, all the freshmen fought with their fists and feet.
Kadiqiuli looked at Jianchen with a trace of arrogance in her eyes and said, "You really didn't disappoint us. Weren't you very arrogant that day in the cafeteria? Today, let me teach you a good lesson." Kadiqiuli's voice was very clear and pleasant.
Hearing this, Jianchen's face showed a disdainful sneer. These people who were born in noble families always had an exaggerated opinion of the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Dong!"
Along with the loud sound of the bell, it also officially signaled the start of the competition.
Because there were a total of four stages, the competition this time was eight people in four stages at the same time. With the sound of the bell, all the students in the four stages moved at the same time.
Kadiqiuli quickly ran towards Jianchen, but when she was only three meters away from Jianchen, she suddenly jumped from the ground and kicked towards Jianchen's face. Although Kadiqiuli was only sixteen or seventeen years old, her skills were not weak. The saint force in her body had already reached the ninth level.
Jianchen stood in place without moving, his face was calm. Just when Kadiqiuli's kick was close to his face, Jianchen's neck slightly twisted and his head tilted, just in time to avoid Kadiqiuli's kick.
Kadiqiuli's reaction was also very fast. Seeing that her kick did not hit the target, she clenched her hand into a fist and directly punched towards Jianchen's nose. Because of the ninth level of saint force in her body, Kadiqiuli's punch was not only very fast, but also contained a powerful force. Even if it hit a normal adult, it would be able to injure them. Against Jianchen, Kadiqiuli did not hold back at all. Whether it was to defeat Jianchen and advance to the top four, or to teach Jianchen a lesson, she did not allow herself to hold back at all.
Jianchen easily dealt with Kadiqiuli's attacks. Although his saint force was one level lower than her, Jianchen was not an ordinary child after all. He had rich battle experience from his previous life. As long as he was willing, even if he did not fight back, he could make Kadiqiuli's attacks unable to even touch his clothes and defeat her within five rounds.
After a few dozen attacks, Kadiqiuli still could not even touch Jianchen's clothes. This not only made her very angry, but she also stopped her attacks. After taking a few breaths, Kadiqiuli put her hands on her hips and angrily stared at Jianchen. She angrily said, "Hey, are you going to fight or not? If you're not going to fight, then get out of the ring. Don't jump around here."
Jianchen looked at the angry Kadiqiuli with a funny expression and said indifferently, "The one who should be getting out of the ring is you, not me. You can't even touch me, so how are you going to beat me?"
"You …" Kadiqiuli's beautiful face was red with anger. She pointed her finger at Jianchen and was speechless. But then she rolled her eyes and sneered, "So what if I can't touch you? You still don't dare to fight me head on and can only hide there. What a coward."
"Oh, is that so?" Jianchen had a strange smile on his face and looked at Kadiqiuli with a strange gaze.
Kadiqiuli proudly looked at Jianchen and said confidently, "Of course it is. Otherwise, you can fight me properly."
