Chapter 1018: Chapter 1017 Advanced Class Enrollment

Hu Xiexie had been practicing martial arts with her uncle Li Wanxiong since she was young and was extremely talented. However, her progress was slow because Li Wanxiong’s own abilities were limited.

But after learning the Guang Han Technique from Su Yang, her strength improved by leaps and bounds.

During this period, Hu Xiexie even achieved a breakthrough to the Integration Realm before Li Wanxiong did. Moreover, the secret Guang Han Technique suited her exceptionally well, so her power was increasing rapidly.

The young man she was facing was indeed strong, but compared to the current Hu Xiexie, he was somewhat outmatched. In particular, Hu Xiexie’s endless hidden weapons were a constant threat—a concealed weapon could strike at any moment, leaving him completely overwhelmed.

The fight didn’t last long before Hu Xiexie struck the young man’s right elbow with a small stone, causing his right arm to droop helplessly. Seizing the opportunity, she rushed forward and delivered a heavy palm strike to his chest, incapacitating him with injury and ending the battle.

The expressions of Lin Dong and the others darkened immediately. They hadn’t taken Hu Xiexie seriously at first, dismissing her as just a woman and believing she posed no threat. To their surprise, Hu Xiexie’s strength was formidable, and now that she had defeated the strongest among them, what chance did the rest have?

"Now, is there anyone else who objects?" Hu Xiexie called out coldly.

The crowd exchanged looks—none of them were willing to concede, but what could they dare to say? None were a match for Hu Xiexie; facing her would only result in a beating and utter humiliation.

Lin Dong gritted his teeth and turned to Su Yang, berating him furiously, "You coward, Su Yang, you just hide behind a woman and play dead. You, a worthless man, will never achieve anything on your own. You rely solely on your family and women. Do you have any skill at all? If you’re capable, come fight us personally instead of having a woman stand in front for you. What kind of skill is that?"

Su Yang felt helpless—if Hu Xiexie was standing there, it was hardly his turn to take action.

"Don’t waste your breath!" Hu Xiexie said crisply, "I made it clear before, if you can’t get past me, you don’t qualify to challenge Su Yang. With all your talk, does that mean you don’t accept this? How about we have a match?"

Lin Dong immediately stepped back. He was considered the least influential among the young masters and was also among the weakest—how could he dare to fight Hu Xiexie?

"Hu Xiexie, you may be ruthless today, but this isn’t over. You’ll regret this!" With those harsh words, Lin Dong led his group away in disgrace.

There was laughter in the dormitory; Lin Dong’s group had arrived with such bluster, almost as if they were going to tear down the building. In the end, their departure was nothing short of a farce.

Zhao Jun and the others looked at Hu Xiexie with excitement. No one had expected this seemingly frail and delicate woman to be so formidable.

"Xiexie, so you are quite the fighter!" Zhao Jun remarked sentimentally, "Wow, I thought you were incompetent in combat!"

Hu Xiexie pursed her lips, "I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was a child. How can you makeshift monks compare to me?"

Zhao Jun’s face reddened with embarrassment as he awkwardly replied, "Well, I may have taken up the practice mid-way, but at least I’m somewhat better than those two who haven’t even started."

Beside him, Lin Dawei and Wang Cheng were utterly astonished; Zhao Jun’s words were clearly directed at them, yet they were unable to retort.

Su Yang gave a faint smile. He looked at Hu Xiexie and asked softly, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Hu Xiexie was silent for a moment but eventually shook her head.

Su Yang didn’t press further, simply saying in a gentle voice, "If there is anything you need my help with, feel free to tell me."

Hu Xiexie nodded.

Zhao Jun and the others nearby were dumbfounded, unable to make heads or tails of the cryptic exchange between Su Yang and Hu Xiexie.

Only Su Yang knew that Hu Xiexie’s forceful front was actually an attempt to take all the responsibility upon herself. Su Yang had no idea what she wanted to do, but he always felt that her desire for power was beyond ordinary, becoming increasingly strange after their arrival at Qinghe Academy.

Perhaps that was the secret in Hu Xiexie’s heart. Although Su Yang didn’t know exactly what she was hiding, since she was unwilling to share, he wouldn’t pry either. That was the least he could do as a friend to respect her.

The ruckus stirred up by Lin Dong and his gang had petered out, and the day passed without any other special events.

Indeed, the advanced class students had arrived, and everyone saw many new faces around the school.

In fact, the number of those just reporting for the advanced class wasn’t large. After all, only a little over a hundred people were specially recruited, with another hundred or so to be selected from the existing students of Qinghe Academy.

However, those who were specially recruited were no ordinary people. They were either from powerful families and forces or were individuals of exceptional talent. Whichever group they came from, many had followers. When these recruits showed up, their followers came along in droves, making the school much more crowded than usual.

Even those who had been with Lin Dong weren’t students of this school; they were just some of Lin Dong’s friends. Taking advantage of the advanced class registration, they entered the school. Among them, only Lin Dong was a student at Qinghe Academy.

In Capital City, Lin Dong was considered an insignificant playboy, and his family’s influence wasn’t enough to get him directly into the advanced class. Thus, he had to use this method to enter Qinghe Academy, hoping to join the advanced class through competition.

He originally held that party firstly to pick up girls and secondly to show his influence to the other students, which would facilitate competition later on. The third reason was to try to connect with the school’s upper echelon, because there had been precedents of people using this approach to reach the higher-ups and secure a place in the advanced class.

As it turned out, Lin Dong suffered a setback with Su Yang, and things had developed to this point.

As Su Yang and his group walked through the campus, witnessing the noisy crowd, they distinctly felt the school’s atmosphere changing.

Before, it was only a struggle among themselves, but now with the addition of these specially recruited advanced class students, the situation at school could only become more complicated.

Even though the specially recruited students no longer had to compete with them, being young people all gathered together, collisions were inevitable. Furthermore, after the advanced class started, many would flock to curry favor with them, forming one group of power after another. This was when the real competition would begin.

Take Zhao Jun, for example; if he were not with Su Yang, he would definitely go to seek Lü Donglin’s support. After all, Lü Donglin was a fellow townsman and the most outstanding individual of the younger generation from the Northern Three Provinces.
