"Don't be so formal, after all, we're all classmates at the Rookie Camp!"
"And since we're all from Su City, we should look out for each other!"
Dou Luoyan spoke innocently, and Luo Xiu smiled back, "Right, mutual support!"
Slap!
Luo Xiu suddenly opened his right hand that was being held and gripped Dou Luoyan's wrist tightly.
"Hold tight, don't let go!"
A clear sound of forceful struggle came from their arms, heard distinctly by everyone.
Though it looked like a simple tug-of-war, the strength contest had begun from the moment they met.
One was Dou Luoyan—the top student of Su City No.1 Middle School, with 1800kg thrust and nearly 8 times strength amplification, boasting 150,000 punch power—a prodigy.
The other was Luo Xiu—the breakout Grandmaster disciple, capable of 20 tons of punch power and pushing beyond the human limit at 2009kg thrust—a cultivation prodigy.
Dou Luoyan wanted to test if Luo Xiu's strength was really as exaggerated as the test results.
Now, he was feeling it.
He squeezed Luo Xiu's arm with all his might, but Luo Xiu countered effortlessly, then gripped Dou's arm and exerted his strength back.
Dou Luoyan's smile instantly stiffened, and his body began to tremble.
He felt his arm was trapped in a vice, tightening more and more.
First, his skin burned painfully; then the bones in his arm felt as if they were being crushed.
A sharp, unbearable pain spread throughout his body.
He almost wanted to scream from the pain.
It felt like his bones were about to shatter.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiu's smile grew brighter, his expression extremely relaxed.
He leveraged the force and skipped into the flying vehicle.
Dou Luoyan's arm already showed a bruise forming, sweat poured from his forehead, and his complexion turned pale.
"What? Still not letting go?"
"I'm on board!"
Luo Xiu teased, stretching his arm forward to sit beside Lin Qiuli.
Dou Luoyan, drenched in sweat and gritting his teeth, was too pained to reply.
"Alright, let go!"
Tian Zhongce, noticing their state, surprised, looked at Luo Xiu.
He had seen Dou Luoyan's expression and knew his 1800kg thrust.
Normally, even if Luo Xiu had 2009kg strength, Dou Luoyan shouldn't be this tortured.
This implied Luo Xiu's strength might be more than 2009kg!
Or perhaps he used a martial skill!
Only that could explain Dou Luoyan's excruciating pain.
"Thanks!"
Luo Xiu smiled at Dou Luoyan and released his grip.
Dou Luoyan quickly loosened his hand, trying to appear calm, but everyone could clearly see the tremor and bruises on his fingers.
Luo Xiu's arm was only slightly reddened.
Clearly, Luo Xiu had won this strength contest decisively.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"From No.1 Middle School?"
Luo Xiu asked.
Dou Luoyan, wincing in pain, replied, "Dou Luoyan."
"Brother Dou, nice to meet you!"
"I'm Luo Xiu…"
Luo Xiu's overly familiar manner made Du Yingbo shake his head.
This guy just gave the other a hard time and now was rubbing salt in the wound—a ruthless character indeed!
Jiang Gengyao didn't see clearly but knew who won.
He glanced at Xu Zhengyang, whose face had turned dark with anger.
"Ha ha!"
Jiang Gengyao was happier than if he had beaten Xu Zhengyang himself.
"Principal Jiang, Principal Xu, now that everyone is here, let's depart!"
"Waiting for good news from the Martial Examination!"
Du Yingbo, Tian Zhongce, and Jiang Gengyao exchanged greetings.
Jiang Gengyao waved hurriedly, "Alright, bon voyage!"
"Luo Xiu, remember to come to school after the Martial Examination!"
"Don't forget!"
Jiang Gengyao suddenly remembered and said quickly.
Luo Xiu poked his head out, "Alright, Old Jiang, I'll bring back a National Martial Exam Top Scorer for you!"
Jiang Gengyao almost stumbled to the ground.
This kid had big ambitions!
Top scorer nationwide?
Xu Zhengyang beside him looked pale with anger—it was like a dagger in his heart!
"Do your best!"
"I'll be waiting for your good news at school!"
Jiang Gengyao laughed heartily as Lin Qiuli and Su Yi waved their hands from the flying vehicle.
Boom!
The vehicle's exhaust suddenly flared as Du Yingbo activated it, and the vehicle soared into the sky.
Watching the vehicle shrink into the distance, Jiang Gengyao reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"National Martial Exam Top Scorer?"
"This kid really dares to say that?"
Xu Zhengyang squinted and looked at Jiang Gengyao:
"Did you tell him about the five tests in the Martial Examination, including the special test?"
"Why mention it?"
"Let it be natural. I believe my students!"
Jiang Gengyao completely ignored Xu Zhengyang's words.
Xu sneered:
"Heh, true. After all, it's the first time No.2 participates in the Warrior Rookie Camp, right?"
"That's better than participating every year and never getting a Jiangnan Province top scorer!"
"I'm glad!"
The two principals bantered at No.2's school gate until some students arrived.
Xu Zhengyang coughed, "Alright, this Small Secret Realm opening was a surprise to you. Lin Family must have promised you a lot, huh? I really didn't expect that girl to be so hardworking!"
"I really misjudged her back then…"
"Misjudgments happen all the time!"
Jiang Gengyao took a jab at Xu Zhengyang's heart.
But this time, Xu surprisingly wasn't angry:
"If I knew No.2 could produce three Warriors, I'd train two more for sure!"
"I want one Warrior spot in the Small Secret Realm!"
"Otherwise, I'll report the Lin Family thing!"
"You might have to share the Small Secret Realm usage with No.1 for two months next year…"
Xu Zhengyang gritted his teeth.
Jiang Gengyao glanced and laughed:
"Alright then, next year the Small Secret Realm usage rights belong to No.2!"
"You're really betting big for the Dou Family!"
"Are you sure there are resources to breakthrough to the Transformation stage in that realm?"
"Even if not sure, gotta try!"
A resolute light flashed in Xu's eyes as he looked into the distance.
"Hidden Strength" has troubled me for five years. If I don't breakthrough soon, this life might be over."
"Since Warriors compete, I want to fight for this chance!"
"To breakthrough Transformation stage means living decades longer!"
"How about you? Would you bet?"
Xu looked at Jiang Gengyao.
Jiang said nothing but felt a hint of resonance.
He'd been stuck without a breakthrough for over a year and would definitely try the secret realm if it came to that.
"Grandmaster…"
What a distant dream!
The two stood silently at No.2's gate for a long while.
