Everyone else is a student, yet they’re pulling off such insane feats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But he might not hold out much longer,” Ye Lingxi said, her expression troubled as she gazed at Jiang Xia, whose aura was growing increasingly faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four deans at the top of the spectator stand also marveled at their display. “These two will surely become the strongest trump cards to defend Shanhai Pass,” Li Chengru sighed, and the other three deans nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the training ground, Jiang Xia’s Susano’o and Ling Zhantian’s God of War Manifestation were both on the verge of collapse; another collision sent Jiang Xia retreating as he controlled the Susano’o backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eight-Plate Gouyu!” He gathered a string of gouyu in his hand and hurled them toward Ling Zhantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ling Zhantian’s face darkened. “God of War Power—Heaven Splitting!” He concentrated all the power of his manifestation into his axe and swung it toward Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gouyu and the axe blade struck Jiang Xia and Ling Zhantian almost simultaneously; the cyan-blue gouyu exploded, burying deep into the chest of the God of War Manifestation, shattering the golden armor instantly. Ling Zhantian spat a mouthful of golden blood and was flung backward, crashing hard against the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia fared no better. The golden axe slammed into the shoulder armor of the Susano’o.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue armor, already riddled with cracks, shattered completely into specks of light. Jiang Xia was jolted numb all over, collapsing to his knees, his left Sharingan utterly dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a sliver of spiritual power remained in his right Rinnegan; blood trickled from his lips, staining his clothes red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training ground fell utterly silent; even a pin dropping could be heard clearly. Wang Teng below stood with his mouth agape, unable to believe what he saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi shot to her feet, gripping her skirt so tightly her nails nearly dug into her flesh, her eyes locked on Jiang Xia’s figure, her voice trembling: “Jiang Xia…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four deans sat upright. Li Chengru frowned, his gaze sweeping between the two. “This blow… was it a mutual ruin?” Before Liu Qingxuan could speak, movement stirred on the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Zhantian pushed himself up from the ground, swaying as he stood, then grinned at Jiang Xia across the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like I won. After fusing the ‘War’ character from the Dao Book with my ability, as long as I’m not crushed outright, I can slowly recover and grow stronger with every fight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahahahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Zhantian’s laughter made the training ground tremble slightly; his chest wound was healing visibly before their eyes, and a faint golden spiritual power reemerged around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recovery power from the fusion of the Dao Book’s ‘War’ character and the God of War Power meant his aura strengthened with every breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng below was frantic. “No way? He’s regenerating? Jiang Xia’s in trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi’s face was pale; she gripped the railing so tightly she forgot to breathe, her eyes fixed on Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia knelt on the ground, propping himself up with his right hand, watching Ling Zhantian’s spiritual power steadily return—yet a cold smirk suddenly curled his lips, the remaining spiritual power in his Rinnegan flickering to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi think… only Itachi have a trump card?” Jiang Xia’s voice was hoarse, yet each word was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open Gate! Open Rest Gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing on the last shred of his body’s strength, Jiang Xia rose, temporarily breaking through to Great Martial Master, wiped the blood from his lips, and fixed Ling Zhantian with a look of final resolve: “This technique is my ultimate last resort at my current cultivation. If Itachi can still move after this strike, I lose!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he formed hand seals; the last sliver of spiritual power in his right Rinnegan disappeared. “Tian’ai Zhenxing (Remnant)!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the clear sky instantly darkened with storm clouds. A meteorite descended from the heavens toward the training ground; the moment it touched the barrier, it tore through it and hurtled toward Ling Zhantian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sight of the meteorite, students, teachers, and deans alike all wore expressions of disbelief. Liu Qingxuan murmured, “A meteorite…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Zhantian looked up at the falling meteorite, his grin freezing instantly. His nearly healed wounds split open again from shock; golden spiritual power surged wildly around him, the ‘War’ character glowing anew on his forehead. “God of War Manifestation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden giant reformed, raising its axe, and swung with all its might at the falling rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the axe touched the meteorite, it shattered piece by piece. Ling Zhantian could only raise both arms to brace against the meteorite. Just as he struggled to hold it, a second meteorite crashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two meteorites piled atop each other. Ling Zhantian let out a muffled groan, his body forced to one knee, his knees sinking into the sunken ground, his manifestation crushed utterly to fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ‘War’ character on his forehead dimmed to near invisibility. His chest wound burst open completely, and he collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is bad!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four deans on the stand could no longer sit still. They rose to intervene—when a figure appeared above the meteorites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure uttered a single word: “Shatter.” The two meteorites, capable of tearing through the barrier, shattered like broken jade, not a single fragment falling onto the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The old man stepped in…” Li Chengru exhaled deeply, his tense nerves finally relaxing. His gaze fell to the field—Jiang Xia could hold on no longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right Rinnegan dimmed completely; his body fell straight backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Zhantian lay sprawled on the sunken ground, the glow of the ‘War’ character on his chest extinguished. He stared at the dissolving storm clouds above and let out a bitter smile: “This round… I lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence lingered for a long while. Then someone shouted, “Jiang Xia!”—and the students’ cheers erupted, shaking the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng pushed to the front row, watching Jiang Xia being helped upright by Ye Lingxi, and wiped his face hard: “Madmen… Itachi two are both madmen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure did not linger. He cast a brief, indifferent glance at the fallen Jiang Xia and Ling Zhantian, then dissolved into specks of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Xia awoke in the hospital, a white-robed elder stood beside his bed, with the four deans behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take a breath before Itachi speak,” the elder said, his voice low yet carrying a soothing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, gently pressing a fingertip to Jiang Xia’s forehead. A gentle spiritual energy flowed in, dispelling the aching fatigue throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your ability to summon meteorites is unheard of—but your cultivation is too weak. Itachi’ve drained your eyes and your foundation completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia opened his mouth to speak, but the elder raised a hand to stop him. “Don’t thank me yet. Itachi got lucky—I just returned from Shanhai Pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next time Itachi act so recklessly, even the Celestial Immortals won’t save Itachi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingxuan spoke up sharply: “It’s just a match among fellow disciples! If Itachi damage your foundations over this, Itachi’ll regret it for the rest of your lives!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chengru chimed in: “Exactly, exactly…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Dean hadn’t returned, what would we do if either of Itachi had died?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, exactly…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8515d0d4f1f2f9f92544ba55e33d0280ed713543ce083b8e8c1d946715c3f245","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-25","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-23",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
