Chapter 46: The Teacher's Shock, It's Not Just Early Third Grade!

"Ye Bai, you are a good child; your teacher knows you have your reasons."

"You don't need to worry about Ning Feng; even if Ning Feng is angry, could he really go and trouble the students of Third High School one by one?"

"You only need to promise your teacher that you will walk the Righteous Path from now on, and your teacher will shoulder all the pressure for you!"

Xi Mengyue said a lot in one breath.

"Teacher..."

After listening, Ye Bai was silent for a moment.

Warmth flowed in his heart.

Xi Mengyue truly had his best interests at heart.

Even though he was currently being pointed at by a thousand fingers.

She was still willing to give him a chance.

Although he did not need this chance.

During his three years at Martial Arts High School, Xi Mengyue had always taken good care of him...

"Teacher, I must go to the Martial Arts Hall tomorrow."

However, the Life and Death Arena fight was something that had to happen.

Qin Churan was still lying in the hospital!

Because of this matter, he also recalled a saying from his previous life.

Strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches!

He had never thought about hiding the fact that his Qi and Blood could increase, and at a very fast speed.

At most, he would keep a few trump cards.

It was just that he had been busy with his own affairs these past few days!

"Ye Bai, you!?" Xi Mengyue on the other end was furious.

"Teacher, first of all, I did not steal Ning Feng's things."

"I have been short on money recently, but I, Ye Bai, will only earn money through my own efforts."

"Secondly, you also know Qin Ayi; Qin Ayi is currently lying in the hospital."

"Because I was hunting outside the city today, I wasn't at home!"

Ye Bai seized the gap this time to say everything he had wanted to tell Xi Mengyue as soon as he received the call.

"What!?"

Xi Mengyue on the other end finally paused.

She understood why Ye Bai was so insistent on going to the Martial Arts Hall!

Not only was he being framed.

She knew that Qin Churan was Ye Bai's only relative, a very kind and gentle aunt.

"Teacher, you don't need to worry about my safety either."

"Right now, it should be Ning Feng and Yuan Hua who are worried about whether they can walk out of the Martial Arts Hall alive tomorrow!"

"I just said that I was hunting outside the city today."

"Because my talent mutated not long ago, not only can I increase my Qi and Blood normally, but the speed of the increase is very, very fast!"

Ye Bai continued, not waiting for Xi Mengyue to worry about his safety, and said again.

"If you want to ask just how fast my Qi and Blood increases..."

"Well, yesterday I was already at Second Grade Peak."

Xi Mengyue was someone who truly had his best interests at heart.

He did not have the habit of letting those who cared for him worry!

Although he wanted to hide some trump cards.

But he was indeed at Second Grade Peak yesterday!

"Ye Bai, don't joke with your teacher..."

The first reaction of Xi Mengyue and Li Qingqing after hearing this was that they still didn't believe it.

During the College Entrance Examination a month ago, Ye Bai only had 10 points of Qi and Blood!

Even if his talent mutated, it should have happened after the College Entrance Examination, right?

Second Grade Peak in one month? Are you dreaming?

However, the stone in Xi Mengyue's heart did indeed settle down quite a bit.

"Ye Bai is a very hardworking child; without the limitations of his talent, while Second Grade Peak is impossible, First Grade Peak is truly possible..."

"He is not a person without a sense of proportion, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted the challenge head-on..."

This was what Xi Mengyue thought in her heart.

Therefore, she did not wait for Ye Bai to continue explaining and promised that she would be at the Martial Arts Hall tomorrow morning!

"If, and I mean if, Ye Bai is no match for Ning Feng..."

"Even if I have to stop being a teacher, I will save Ye Bai!"

"Student Ye Bai, you, are you trying to defy Heaven?!"

"Third Grade, you are actually Third Grade!"

Not long after.

At the counter where Liu Yan'er worked.

Liu Yan'er was numb; she was numb once again!

"You said someone is challenging you to a Life and Death Arena match tomorrow, right? And the other party is also a Martial Arts High School graduate like you?"

"Just which genius is it that doesn't want to live anymore—if they didn't want to live, they could've just jumped off a building, why come and challenge you?!"

After Ye Bai finished his call with Xi Mengyue, he entered the Martial Artist Association.

He sought out his acquaintance, Liu Yan'er.

When Liu Yan'er learned that Ye Bai had come to request a Life and Death Agreement, she was resistant at first and refused to give it to him no matter what; it was useless even when Ye Bai said the one challenging him was a student from the same graduating class.

Then, Ye Bai asked for an authentication form yet again.

5,000 points of Qi and Blood!

Third Grade Initial Stage!

It immediately caused Liu Yan'er's brain to become congested with blood.

She felt more ecstatic than if she had been having the time of her life for three days and three nights!

"Student Ye Bai, how on earth did you manage to do that..."

After Liu Yan'er recovered a bit, she looked at Ye Bai again, her eyes even filled with little stars.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen a Third-Grade Martial Artist before they entered Martial University!

But not to mention those people, most of them became Third Grade only after entering the Genius Camp and obtaining massive resources.

Which one of them didn't come from an extraordinary background, at least supported by parents who were Fifth Grade?

Which one of them didn't have a constant supply of resources since childhood, with Blood Qi Pills and even Condensing Qi Pills provided in abundance after awakening their talent?

Yet Ye Bai came from an ordinary background.

And in just four short days, she had witnessed with her own eyes Ye Bai go from authenticating as First Grade all the way to authenticating as Third Grade now!

"Forget it, you don't need to answer me!"

However, Liu Yan'er didn't actually mean for Ye Bai to answer her question.

Everyone has their own secrets.

She didn't like prying into other people's secrets.

She felt she only needed to know that her third bonus since starting this job had arrived!

"Tap, tap, tap."

She ran off at a trot, not even having time to put up the 'Temporarily Closed' sign this time.

"Student Ye Bai, wait for me here!

I'm going to apply for your reward!"

"Girl, are you telling the truth?!"

"Ye Bai is really Third Grade now?! You're here to apply for the reward for his Third Grade authentication!?"

However, Ye Bai did not know this.

When Liu Yan'er rushed into the President's Office and told Liu Qingtian that Ye Bai had reached Third Grade.

Liu Qingtian did indeed spit out a mouthful of tea in shock at first, his face full of astonishment.

"Grandpa, is there any need for me to lie to you about something like this?"

Liu Yan'er stood with her hands on her hips, a look of pride on her face.

What are you so proud of?

Liu Qingtian's eye twitched; he thought that if it weren't for his status, Liu Yan'er, who was still only a First-Grade Martial Artist, wouldn't even be able to graduate from Martial University.

"It seems the situation with this child Ye Bai is even more complicated than what I investigated..."

But then, Liu Qingtian sighed.

"Grandpa, what do you mean?

Do you already know why Ye Bai's Qi and Blood increased so quickly?"

Liu Yan'er asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you tell me not to pry into other people's secrets unless that person has betrayed humanity?"

Then she looked at Liu Qingtian with a questioning gaze.

"My little ancestor, what are you thinking?

When did I ever say I was investigating the reason for the speed of that child Ye Bai's Qi and Blood increase?"

Liu Qingtian's eye twitched again.

"If Jiangcheng could really have a junior who reaches Third Grade in four days, I would treat them like an ancestor; why would I do something to make the child unhappy?"

"Then what do you mean, Grandpa..." The questioning look in Liu Yan'er's eyes vanished, but she was even more confused.

"The matter hasn't been fully investigated yet.

For now, Grandpa can only tell you that this child Ye Bai likely didn't reach Third Grade in four days."

"He had been hiding his strength all along, until a few days ago, when he was forced by circumstances to start peeling back his disguise bit by bit..."

Liu Qingtian said earnestly...

"If I'm not mistaken, Third Grade Initial Stage is still not his full strength!"
