Chapter 18

"Wait."

Below the martial arts platform, the group of teenagers cleared an open space; Luo Geng set up his stance and was about to start practicing when Vice Principal Feng Shu suddenly spoke, which made everyone look at Vice Principal Feng Shu.

Was there going to be another complication?

"The ground is quite low, and the view is not good; to prevent you teachers from not seeing clearly, come up to the platform to perform martial arts." Vice Principal Feng Shu said.

As soon as these words were spoken, Principal Dong Zhao smiled slightly; everyone actually knew Feng Shu's little thoughts about saying this.

It was just to prevent him from favoring Xu Jin.

If it were placed on the martial arts platform, everyone could see it clearly, down to the smallest detail, and it would be very difficult to favor anyone.

After all, at this time, the competition between Luo Geng and Xu Jin for the Intermediate Academy had already implicitly become a competition of prestige between him and Vice Principal Feng Shu.

If Xu Jin wins, Feng Shu's prestige will be damaged.

If Xu Jin loses, it could prove that Feng Shu was right before, and his prestige could not only be recovered but also supplemented.

However, did he, Dong Zhao, need that?

He didn't!

Everything depended on the skills of Luo Geng and Xu Jin.

Then coming to the platform to perform martial arts was naturally acceptable.

Dong Zhao stood up, Cao Chun and Tian Zhang also stood up, and the other flag leaders and teachers also retreated one after another, giving up space for the martial arts performance.

The next instant, Luo Geng jumped onto the martial arts platform, first looking at his uncle Luo Kexing, who was a Flag Leader of the Star-Patrol Guards, and the latter returned a firm look.

Luo Geng had the guidance of his uncle, who taught him without holding anything back.

At this moment, Feng Shu was also very confident in Luo Geng.

He knew the relationship between Luo Geng and Luo Kexing.

Snap!

When Luo Geng started the first stance of the Five-Battle Killing Fist, he made a sound of breaking through the air; that was the fist stance being fierce and having the momentum to kill and defeat the enemy.

Luo Geng's fist stance already had a few points of the true meaning of the Killing Fist.

Five-Battle Killing Fist, "killing" is the true meaning.

Every stance made a sound of breaking through the air and killing; when the first move "East Harmony of Yin and Yang" ended, a flash of brilliance appeared, and a Star Shield appeared on his right shoulder.

Feng Shu, Luo Kexing, including Cao Chun, Principal Dong Zhao, and many teachers were all nodding frequently; this fist stance was very solid.

The second move "West Rises Ten Thousand Stones" was also the same; when the three stances of the second move ended, a "xiu" sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out, and a mark of starlight covered Luo Geng's right shoulder.

"Star Mark!"

"This is a Star Mark!"

The teenagers below the platform gasped in astonishment, and even Ning Yuchan, the Chief Ning Jiaotou, was somewhat surprised.

Among the teenagers of this Star-Dotting season who had broken through to the first layer of the Meal of Mist Realm, eighty percent could unleash a Star Shield, but less than forty percent could unleash a Star Mark.

Luo Geng was hiding it quite deeply.

Seeing Luo Geng unleash a Star Mark, Feng Shu was also overjoyed.

When he saw Luo Geng unleash a Star Mark, he knew that Luo Geng's entry into the Intermediate Academy was stable.

Listening to the gasps of astonishment from the teenagers below the platform, Luo Geng's face also showed a look of pride; he was enjoying it very much, and his subsequent fist stance became even fiercer.

However, for the next three moves of the Five-Battle Killing Fist, Luo Geng's performance was ordinary, and he didn't unleash any Star Arts.

But just unleashing a Star Art in the first two moves was shocking enough.

Very quickly, Luo Geng finished his martial arts performance, stood with his fists retracted, and stood to the side.

"Xu Jin, it's your turn!" Ning Yuchan said.

Feng Shu originally wanted to directly ask Xu Jin if he wanted to stop here to avoid embarrassment, but Ning Yuchan had spoken, so he didn't say anything.

However, Feng Shu was somewhat surprised.

Because this Xu Jin who had gone onto the martial arts platform didn't look the least bit flustered.

"Principal, Vice Principal, Dean, Commandant, teachers, instructors." After Xu Jin went onto the platform and cupped his hands in salute, he also set up his fist stance.

Xu Jin's first stance of the Five-Battle Killing Fist was not stunning.

It is said that once an expert makes a move, one knows if it's there.

In comparison, Xu Jin, who had only practiced by himself, didn't have the fierceness of Luo Geng's Five-Battle Killing Fist.

Unleashing the basic Star Art Star Shield at the end of the first move was also within everyone's expectations.

It was just that Principal Dong Zhao saw something; he felt that the Star Shield Xu Jin unleashed was much smoother than Luo Geng's, without the slightest bit of stagnation.

But this point could not be used as a basis for judging victory or defeat.

He still had to look at Xu Jin's subsequent performance.

"Star Mark!"

"Xu Jin has also unleashed a Star Mark!"

When Xu Jin finished the second move, the teenagers below the platform gasped in astonishment again; no one expected that Xu Jin would also unleash a Star Mark.

Luo Geng's face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Vice Principal Feng Shu and his second uncle Luo Kexing.

Feng Shu's expression was wooden, without any change.

Just unleashing a Star Mark again, what was there to be afraid of?

Luo Geng's overall mastery of the Five-Battle Killing Fist, as far as it looked now, was definitely stronger than Xu Jin's.

Even Principal Dong Zhao couldn't turn this situation around.

Xu Jin's Five-Battle Killing Fist didn't stop, his fist stance changed, the third move "South Swings Six Harmonies."

Below the platform, the first-place Star-Dotter of this season, Yue Daqi, was bored and counting his fingers when suddenly his expression went blank, and his eyes widened!

"Star Ring?" "Could this be the basic Star Art Star Ring?"

He saw Xu Jin, who had just finished the third move, suddenly swing a solid circle of starlight from his chest and abdomen, quickly swinging in all directions, just like water ripples, exceptionally gorgeous.

"Star Ring? How is this possible!" Luo Geng's second uncle Luo Kexing also widened his eyes instantly.

Even the Chief Ning Jiaotou Ning Yuchan had a look of astonishment on her face.

The reason why the Five-Battle Killing Fist is basic is because every move represents a basic Star Art.

The basic Star Arts Star Shield and Star Mark of the first two moves are actually relatively easy to master.

But the basic Star Art Star Ring that can be unleashed in the third move has a difficulty more than twice that of the Star Mark and Star Shield combined.

The first-place Star-Dotter of this season, Yue Daqi, seemed to have used twenty days to unleash the Star Ring, right?

How many days had Xu Jin used?

Counting this morning, it had only been eight days, right?

Feng Shu's eyes were also filled with shock, but more of it was annoyance and anger.

The face that he had almost picked up was thrown onto the ground again.

The smile on Principal Dong Zhao's face, however, was getting brighter and brighter.

An unexpected joy.

Dean Cao Chun and Commandant Tian Zhang were both expressionless.

As for Luo Geng, he was directly stunned!

Under his second uncle's guidance, he had hidden a Star Mark, which was already considered well-prepared.

Good fellow, you, Xu Jin, not only hid a Star Mark but also hid a Star Ring; could you be any more insidious?

Things had reached this point, and the outcome was self-evident.

Even if Luo Geng was half a step better in the true meaning of the Five-Battle Killing Fist, unleashing one more Star Art was a crushing victory.

But Principal Dong Zhao, Chief Ning Jiaotou Ning Yuchan, many teachers, and Commandant Tian Zhang were all staring fixedly at Xu Jin's fist stance.

The fourth move of the Five-Battle Killing Fist, "North Shoots Heavenly Wolf," if practiced to minor success, can also unleash a basic Star Art—Star Arrow.

The difficulty of the basic Star Art Star Arrow is even slightly stronger than the Star Ring.

If this Xu Jin before them could really unleash it, then his talent, at least in the item of Star Art comprehension, was no longer a genius; he was absolutely a monstrous level.

The fourth move "North Shoots Heavenly Wolf" was finished quickly, and no Star Arrow appeared.

Commandant Tian Zhang and Dean Cao Chun both flashed a complex and unclear look mixed with helplessness in their eyes.

Geniuses are few, and monsters are even fewer.

But keeping a genius in one's own hands, instead of sending them to the Star Palace, is even more difficult.

The Star Palace is not to be trifled with.

Principal Dong Zhao looked at Xu Jin's fourth move "North Shoots Heavenly Wolf," but was lost in thought, and his gaze toward Xu Jin's fifth move was even more focused.

On the martial arts platform, Xu Jin didn't unleash a Star Art in the fourth move, let alone the fifth move.

But after the martial arts performance ended, there was still a burst of cheers and thunderous applause from the teenagers below the platform.

Only Luo Geng had a gray and defeated face.

The qualification for the Intermediate Academy had nothing to do with him anymore.

Xu Jin stood with his fists retracted, his face not red, his breath not short, and his face full of confidence.

In fact, if it weren't for the limitation of his cultivation and the fact that his body-tempering hadn't reached the level, Xu Jin could not only have unleashed a Star Art in the fourth move, but he could also have unleashed a Star Art in the fifth move.

Inside the Star Lamp, Xu Jin had already unleashed Star Arts in the fourth and fifth moves.

Practicing martial arts for four hours every day in the Star Lamp was not for nothing.

【First-Tier Arena】

【Arena Master: Xu Jin】

【Obtain Star favor, worship once a day, can obtain a wisp of starlight】

【Star Lamp: Solidified Star Art Basic Star Shield, can be changed after one day.】

【Nourishable items: Zero】

【Star Arts: Basic Star Shield (Solidified), Basic Star Mark, Basic Star Ring, Basic Star Arrow, Basic Star Light Cover】

【Can ascend tier】

With a thought, he flashed through the Arena; the Star Arts on the Arena's jade tablet had reached five items.

"Principal, Vice Principal, Dean, Commandant, Luo Geng and Xu Jin's martial arts performance is over; please instruct on the final result." Ning Yuchan, who was presiding over the martial arts performance, requested instructions.

Ning Yuchan's request was fine, but as soon as she requested it, Vice Principal Feng Shu's face turned black and he turned to the side.

Ning Yuchan was also helpless; this wasn't her deliberately losing face for the Vice Principal; she only had the right to preside, not the right to decide.

"Everyone has seen it clearly, so I don't need to say it; announce it." Principal Dong Zhao said.

"Yes."

"After the martial arts performance, the last person to join the Intermediate Academy for this Star-Dotting season is Xu Jin; do you have any opinions?"

"I have an opinion!"

As soon as Ning Yuchan's voice fell, a different voice rang out below the martial arts platform, and everyone couldn't help but look over in astonishment!

It had reached this point, who could still have an opinion?
