Begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akatsuki Jin stepped forward first, extending his right hand as a blazing fire erupted in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The needle on the testing device shot up instantly and finally settled at level nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad—fire ability, intensity nine and a half!” Lei Zhan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came Cui Jue, whose body radiated faint ghostly energy; the needle on the tester stopped at level nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi stepped forward, condensing a frost lotus in her palm; the needle also settled at level nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was Jiang Xia’s turn, he extended both hands and spun a Rasengan between his palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The needle on the tester surged instantly, breaking past the ten-level limit; the device emitted a shrill alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… what’s going on?” Lei Zhan stared at the device in shock, “Your wind ability intensity exceeds level ten?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia dismissed the Rasengan, his expression unchanged. “This is my unique ability—Rasengan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of understanding passed through Lei Zhan’s eyes. “So it’s a unique ability—no wonder it’s so strong. Good. Keep working.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng’s ability was in the unique category, with an intensity of eight and a half—barely passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the ability intensity test ended, Lei Zhan led everyone to the shooting range for precision training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exercise required using abilities to hit a red dot on a distant target; the dot moved continuously, surrounded by interfering magnetic fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akatsuki Jin’s fireball struck the target center precisely, hitting it ten times in a row without error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia used Chidori Senbon; his Sharingan could precisely track the target’s movement, and with Chidori’s controllability, this training posed no real challenge to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other prodigies from various factions, relying on their exceptional talent, also completed the exercise without mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, morning training is over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At two this afternoon, free sparring will take place on the dueling platform. Everyone must participate. Each victory earns fifty academic credits; each defeat deducts twenty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zhan announced, “Dismissed. Head to the cafeteria for lunch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Class A students may dine in the VIP area, where all food is spirit-infused spirit food—replenishing stamina and enhancing cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia, Wang Teng, and Ye Lingxi sat at one table, covered with dishes of spirit-rice, high-grade beast meat, spirit-imbued fruits…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, this spirit food is amazing!” Wang Teng mumbled through a mouthful of rice, half a spirit fruit still in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Xia, the food here is insane—nothing outside can compare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi were complaining just a few days ago that Itachi were too fat and needed to lose weight. Now Itachi’re still stuffing yourself,” Jiang Xia laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng rolled his eyes. “I just maxed out my eating talent, Xia—shut up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, Jiang Xia and Ling Zhantian returned to their dorm to rest. Wang Teng lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, then suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Xia, don’t Itachi feel like this training camp is… off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s off?” Jiang Xia asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look—rankings, free sparring—everything pushes competition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Instructor Lei says only the strong deserve resources. It feels like they’re deliberately stoking conflict between us,” Wang Teng frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I get the feeling the Demon Suppression Army isn’t running this camp just to train prodigies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia paused, then stared at Wang Teng in surprise. “Fatty, when did Itachi suddenly grow a brain? Did someone possess Itachi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng flipped him the middle finger. “Fuck off. My IQ’s always been top-tier, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia smiled, but internally he was pondering Wang Teng’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At two in the afternoon, the dueling platform was surrounded by crowds—all class students had come to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dueling platform was a massive metal platform, encircled by an energy shield. Lei Zhan stood beside it, holding a scorecard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Free sparring begins! Anyone who wants to challenge someone—just step up!” Lei Zhan declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished than Akatsuki Jin leapt onto the platform. He scanned the crowd, his gaze locking onto Jiang Xia, his tone haughty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Xia, let’s settle the score from the auction house today. Dare Itachi step up and fight me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted instantly, all eyes turning to Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here we go! Number one versus number seven on the Prodigy Rankings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Akatsuki Jin’s at the peak of Wu Zong! Jiang Xia’s barely at the early stage—he’s got no chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not necessarily—Jiang Xia defeated Zhu Yan. Maybe he’s got a hidden card!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia took a deep breath and stepped onto the platform. He looked at Akatsuki Jin calmly. “If Itachi want to fight, I’ll humor Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, big talk!” Akatsuki Jin sneered, flames erupting around him. “Apologize now and join my Akatsuki family—I’ll spare Itachi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia smiled faintly, extending both middle fingers. “Idiot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akatsuki Jin laughed bitterly with rage. “In all these years, Itachi’re the first to dare provoke me like this. Bold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lunged at Jiang Xia, flames coalescing into a massive flaming blade that slashed toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Gu Yun, ranked second on the Prodigy Rankings, was surprised. “This human’s really bold—daring to provoke Akatsuki Jin like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s left Sharingan flared instantly. “Kawari!” His body turned ethereal, evading the flaming blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, black flames ignited in his right eye. “Amaterras!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black flames erupted from within Akatsuki Jin’s own blade. Akatsuki Jin’s expression didn’t change—he hurled the blade away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Amaterras’ black fire quickly clung to Akatsuki Jin’s clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akatsuki Jin cursed, tearing his clothes apart to prevent the black fire from burning his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Jiang Xia, eyes filled with wariness. “What kind of flame is this? It won’t extinguish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amaterras,” Jiang Xia said coolly. “Akatsuki Jin, if that’s all Itachi’ve got, I’ve already won this match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arrogant!” Akatsuki Jin roared, flames surging violently. “Fen Xu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blazing fire coalesced into a colossal firebird, hurtling toward Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firebird moved with blinding speed, radiating an aura of annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia took a deep breath, forming hand seals. “Susano’o!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual energy surged from his body, instantly forming a massive skeletal frame holding a black longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Susano’o swung its blade down—the black flame sword clashed with the firebird, unleashing a deafening explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firebird was cleaved in two, dissolving into a shower of sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting!” Akatsuki Jin’s gaze grew serious as he stared at Jiang Xia. “Itachi’re the first Wu Zong beginner to block my attack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia said nothing. The skeletal frame swung its blade again, slashing toward Akatsuki Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akatsuki Jin watched the black flame blade barreling toward him, his expression unchanged—but flames around him turned golden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fen Xu—Golden Flame Scorching Earth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden flames surged, forming a massive fire barrier that halted the Susano’o’s blade dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave from the clash of golden flame and black blade made the arena’s barrier tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>",1162,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a5f1acab22243b959ef1680b15d62e2b9bedd899fa4123730e11eb841fe4036a","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-82","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-80",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
