Chapter 81: All Prodigies Display Their Talents, Next, Ye Bai!

Soon it was Nangong Zheng's turn to challenge.

"Instructor, please offer your guidance!"

Among the seven instructors, Nangong Zheng chose the one who also carried a long spear on their back.

"Boom!"

The battle began.

Nangong Zheng struck with the spear first.

The spear speed was very fast, with only afterimages visible, along with faint azure ripples carried by the spear tip.

Not only did it force the instructor to dodge immediately, but he then seized the momentum to pursue, thrusting out another spear strike!

The instructor's eyes flashed, and the long spear flew up violently.

Grabbing the spear shaft with their palm, they swung it fiercely toward Nangong Zheng, attempting to force Nangong Zheng to retreat and defend.

Nangong Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he did not retreat a single step.

Forcing the instructor to change moves midway, with a "Boom" sound, the two long spears collided fiercely!

Even when the attacks of both sides collided, in a situation where Nangong Zheng's Qi and Blood were clearly not as high as the instructor's, he still did not retreat a single step!

Seizing the moment when the instructor's old strength had just faded and new strength had not yet been generated, he thrust out another spear strike!

He was not only the first to go head-to-head with an instructor, but he even turned the tables and suppressed the instructor!

"Boom, boom!"

One spear strike after another.

The two sides remained locked in combat.

After two minutes passed, the instructor adapted to Nangong Zheng's attack rhythm, and with a fierce horizontal sweep followed by a downward smash, they finally pushed Nangong Zheng back and took control of the battle's rhythm.

But Nangong Zheng still had not been defeated and kept holding on!

Until the ten-minute mark passed.

Nangong Zheng held the spear with both hands, raised it above his head, and blocked the instructor's downward smash.

The instructor's gaze flashed, and they stepped out with a peculiar footwork, moving at an incredible speed to retract the spear and strike again, passing directly between Nangong Zheng's hands.

Nangong Zheng could not dodge in time, and the spear tip finally came to a stop right in front of Nangong Zheng's brow.

Only then was Nangong Zheng declared defeated!

"Strong, too strong!"

"Is this the combat power of a top-tier prodigy from First High School? Going head-to-head with a Fourth Grade and holding on for a full ten minutes!"

"You have to know, the previous students didn't even last two minutes, let alone ten..."

All the students were amazed by this.

"Good lad, you are practicing the Wave-Breaking Spear Technique, right? Your proficiency level is not low!"

The battle ended, and that long-spear instructor said.

"This student is untalented, but I was lucky enough to raise the proficiency of the Wave-Breaking Spear Technique to the Proficient level!" A look of pride flashed in Nangong Zheng's eyes.

He inadvertently glanced at Ye Bai.

"A Proficient-level Mysterious Grade Martial Technique! No wonder!" the long-spear instructor exclaimed.

"This is Nangong Zheng's strength; this is the performance a top-tier prodigy should have!"

"By comparison, Ye Bai is far too inferior!"

On the platform, the instructors witnessed the whole process and felt their previous deductions were correct.

Someone who only relied on luck to achieve various combat records was truly not worth Liu Qingtian going to such great lengths to stuff into the Genius Camp.

Even less should he be called the Jiangcheng Hero and the trump card of the Genius Camp!

They also noticed Nangong Zheng's gaze, thinking that if it weren't for Li Qingqing, Ye Bai would have already fallen from his pedestal and be living in a bungalow!

"Next, Li Si..."

"Next, Xiao Huohuo!"

The challenges continued.

Not long after, it was Xiao Huohuo's turn.

"Instructor, excuse my offense!"

Xiao Huohuo's performance was not a bit inferior to Nangong Zheng's, and was even three points better.

Because he chose the most burly one among the instructors.

Thick flames immediately rose on his body surface.

Then, clenching his fists tightly, he rushed up to engage in close-quarters combat with that instructor, the kind where every punch hits flesh!

In the end, although he only barely managed to hold on for ten minutes.

"Xiao Huohuo, awesome..."

"As expected of First High School's number one..."

All the students were amazed.

"Xiao Huohuo, Nangong Zheng, very good, both are very good!"

"I believe that in this month, the two of them can bring enough surprises!"

The instructors were increasingly satisfied with this generation of "true" prodigies from Jiangcheng!

Their dissatisfaction with Ye Bai in their hearts also grew more intense...

"Next, Li Qingqing!"

Soon it was Li Qingqing's turn.

"Ice Explosion."

"Ice Thorn!"

"Nine Frost Swords!"

Li Qingqing requested a Yellow Grade longsword from the Instructor and opened with a bombardment of Martial Techniques.

She also managed to hold out for ten minutes.

"This young girl is not bad either... No wonder she could block Nangong Zheng!"

"She has mastered many Martial Techniques; although her proficiency is not high and they are all barely at the introductory level, she can still squeeze into the first tier of this year's Genius Camp!"

"In the short term, she is indeed inferior to Xiao Huohuo and Nangong Zheng, but given time, it is not impossible for her to surpass them!"

The Instructors said as much.

"It's just that I don't know what she sees in Ye Bai..."

"Do you think it's possible that Ye Bai's ability to defeat a Fourth Grade Martial Artist was actually due to this girl's help?"

"Let's check later to see if Li Qingqing was at the scene of that incident..."

The Instructors were even wondering at this moment if Ye Bai had only become famous throughout the city by relying on being a kept man, and that the only ones he had truly defeated were Ning Feng and a Second Grade Evil Spirit he had luckily killed in a counterattack?

"Qingqing, you were amazing!"

But back to Ye Bai's side.

Completely unaware of the Instructors' opinions, Ye Bai, who had taken the time to go to the restroom when he saw it was nearly eleven o'clock, gave a thumbs up the moment Li Qingqing returned.

"Stop making fun of me. I know that the gap between me and you is still very large."

"If it were you going up there, you would definitely last more than ten minutes, right?"

"You have the confidence to last fifteen minutes, right?" Li Qingqing asked instead.

The reason she had asked Ye Bai if he was under a lot of pressure before was because she had been specially recruited by Magic City Martial Arts University, and her future speed of becoming stronger would be very fast.

But having witnessed Ye Bai defeating a Fourth Grade Martial Artist with her own eyes, she knew very well that her current strength was not yet as good as Ye Bai's!

"I suppose... I can..."

Ye Bai blinked his eyes.

"Can means can, cannot means cannot; what does 'suppose I can' mean?"

"If it's only this level of intensity, I should be able to get the full reward."

Ye Bai coughed and finally told the truth.

Li Qingqing was startled, her beautiful eyes flashing with brilliance.

"Brother Ye Bai, what kind of joke are you making?"

"Get the full reward? Do you mean you can hold out for thirty minutes!?"

"I know you have defeated a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, but this Fourth Grade is not that Fourth Grade!"

"Which of the Genius Camp Instructors isn't at their peak of Qi and Blood? Their combat experience is so rich that it cannot be compared to civilian Fourth Grade Martial Artists!!"

Zhuge Yun, who was on the side, heard what Ye Bai said and instantly turned pale, in a way that he dared not speak loudly.

Holding out for thirty minutes had indeed been achieved by the top students of the Genius Camp in previous years, but that was after a month of training had concluded.

At this point in time, just as the Genius Camp was beginning, no one had ever done it!

"I know."

"But the Instructors only use Martial Techniques after ten minutes..."

Ye Bai's confidence was not without reason.

He knew that the Genius Camp Instructors were very strong.

No one had challenged the only female Instructor yet, so Ye Bai did not know the specific situation.

But the other six all had at least 50,000 points of Qi and Blood! They were at the Rank Four Mid Stage!

As for the strongest one, Ye Bai could roughly infer that he had over 70,000 points of Qi and Blood, which was the Rank Four Late Stage!

Was he not more than a grade stronger than that Lao Weng from before?

But after observing for so long, Ye Bai discovered that before reaching the ten-minute mark, the Instructors would never use even a single Martial Technique!

Even after passing the ten-minute mark, they would only use one Martial Technique!

Nangong Zheng, Xiao Huohuo, and Li Qingqing were all defeated by the Martial Techniques used by the Instructors...

Most importantly, Ye Bai's personal panel had already undergone huge changes compared to yesterday...
