Keep a little distance between yourselves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take out your student profile pages. You’ll be able to get in very soon, so do not rush!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After you enter the school, turn right and follow the yellow arrows on the ground to line up outside the Student Records Office!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuya called out loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beautiful face and graceful figure immediately drew quite a few sideways glances from the boys nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Yuya quickly spotted Li Mu in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes lit up at once, and she trotted over to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint fragrance drifted with her as she came to a stop in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You finally came back! I thought you were not coming today either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu tilted his chin toward the crowd and asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You weren’t here yesterday, so you have no idea what happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng transferred here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then a large batch of transfer students from Soaring Dragon Martial Academy came over to our school too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today is the second group, and there are students from other schools as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuya explained, but the way she looked at Li Mu only grew more admiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, all of this had happened because of Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Li Mu had humiliated Zhao Yi so badly that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet he had still joked so casually and confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even said that Principal Yin Changming could be the one to worry about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had already arranged such a terrifying counterattack in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not even needed to show himself in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just how frightening was that kind of influence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm. Are Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng at school right now?” Li Mu asked as he started walking toward the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are! They came early. They even asked about you this morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Lu Chenfeng got annoyed when he saw you still hadn’t come to school and even dragged Zhang Zhiwei off to spar. Hee hee...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Yuya spoke, she remembered the absurd scene from that morning and could not help laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She personally led Li Mu through a side entrance that was not open to outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they entered the school, there was actually still a long line of students outside the Student Records Office building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them had come from outside the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also noticeably more people inside the campus now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a school the size of Blackwater High School, it suddenly felt somewhat crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuya led Li Mu straight to the Training Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Blackwater High School’s Training Arena was fairly spacious, the equipment was old and outdated, and there was very little of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the training dummies were still being used even though they were rusted or damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, two large circles of people were loosely gathered around the open central ground of the arena, watching the excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that someone was sparring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Li Mu and Lin Yuya appeared, they immediately triggered cries of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! It’s Li Mu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who spoke was a girl. The moment she saw Li Mu, her eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Li Mu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Mu’s here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones exclaiming in amazement from farther away were generally the recent transfer students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Blackwater High School’s original students, they all greeted Li Mu warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu walked to the edge of the crowd and looked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the middle of the arena was Lu Chenfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his legs slightly bent, he stood there like an iron tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three people surrounded him. One fought with fists and kicks, one used a long saber, and one used a long spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them unleashed martial techniques from three different angles in a furious barrage against Lu Chenfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a faint green light glimmered around Lu Chenfeng’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feet did not move at all, and he casually parried with his upper body alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attacks struck him as if they were hitting raw iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They failed to leave the slightest mark on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chenfeng’s face was full of displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, hey! This is annoying. Not one of you can even break my defense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With attacks at your level, even scratching an itch would be too weak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he suddenly snapped his hand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually caught the long saber that was chopping down at him with his bare hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he squeezed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp crack, the saber shattered on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a burst of Gang Qi exploded from his body and sent all three opponents flying back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference in strength was simply not on the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd immediately burst into screams and cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chenfeng pointed irritably at Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing by the edge of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oi! Spearman, let’s fight again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiwei smiled calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his chin slightly in Li Mu’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The one you’ve been waiting for is here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chenfeng turned his head at once and immediately saw Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes lit up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li One-Cudgel! You finally came!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he strode straight over to Li Mu, looking as though he had been waiting for him forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just transferred to our school, and you’re already swaggering around giving people nicknames.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That doesn’t seem very appropriate, does it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard it just now. This guy called Zhang Zhiwei “Spearman” and called him “Li One-Cudgel”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of lousy nickname was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can give me one too. I’m not afraid! But you’re not getting away today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looking at your aura, you’ve actually broken through to Third Grade too. Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re at the same grade now, and you’re not injured either. This time, you should finally let me take that cudgel strike, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chenfeng said eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu had already sensed the auras of both Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them had also only recently broken through to Third Grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you really won’t give up until you get hit with that cudgel strike?” Li Mu asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chenfeng immediately grew excited. From Li Mu’s tone, there was hope!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a reason he had been chasing after Li Mu this whole time, asking to take one hit from his cudgel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else only thought he was a battle maniac who loved challenging people to fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what they did not know was that his talent could only grow stronger by constantly pushing the limits of the defense and damage his body could endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that force could not come from someone whose realm was much higher than his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would only have the opposite effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more it came from someone at the same grade as him, or even lower, the more rapidly his talent would grow under that kind of powerful attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, only a few days after he awakened his talent, it had already become difficult for him to find opponents like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll grant your wish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu saw no need to refuse any longer and nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge wave of cheers immediately rose from the crowd, and everyone drew back in a rush, opening up an even larger circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single person there became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching however many people take turns attacking Lu Chenfeng earlier had become more and more boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not one of them could even break his defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Li Mu was about to make a move, everyone’s anticipation shot to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, the excited Lu Chenfeng personally dragged Li Mu into the middle of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, Brother Feng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the crowd, five or six girls shouted loudly in support of Lu Chenfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were obviously Lu Chenfeng’s fangirls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuya immediately refused to be outdone and raised her fist as she shouted, “Go, Brother Mu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she shouted, the other girls from Blackwater High School followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuya glared provocatively at Lu Chenfeng’s cheering section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That look seemed to say, Hmph, as if we don’t have fangirls too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to compete with Li Mu in the number of fangirls he had at Blackwater High School?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those girls shot Lin Yuya annoyed looks. The voices from Lin Yuya’s side completely drowned theirs out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of those girls was a young woman in a long green dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A closer look showed that the shade of her dress was exactly the same as the color of Lu Chenfeng’s clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the long dress had an elegant bearing, and the way she looked at Lu Chenfeng was full of affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shouting a few words of encouragement, the girls began talking among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Feng should be fine, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Li Mu seems pretty strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the long dress pressed her lips into a smile and gave a slight nod before speaking in a cool voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do not worry. The fact that Brother Feng is even insisting on making Li Mu attack is already giving Li Mu too much credit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging from the look on his face, he actually seems confident that he can break Brother Feng’s defense. It is rather laughable...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, the girl let out a contemptuous laugh and shook her head, wearing a thoroughly disdainful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blackwater High School students nearby who heard that immediately grew unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These girls had all transferred from Chongming High School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the girl in the long dress. She was obviously one of Lu Chenfeng’s most devoted fangirls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But admiring Lu Chenfeng was one thing. Was there really any need to step on Li Mu like this? How was it laughable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, could you watch your mouth? This is a friendly spar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A male student said in dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the long dress glanced at him, gave a contemptuous smile, and then withdrew her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed utterly unwilling to argue with him even for half a sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she deliberately turned to explain things to the girls beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The reason Li Mu was able to kill the Strange-Tailed Python back then was actually because Zhang Zhiwei had already pierced through the monster first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the monster’s qi was disrupted, its defense naturally dropped sharply.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is just a pity... many people cannot understand details like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, the girl deliberately glanced at the male student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication was obvious. It was as though only she could understand such things, while everyone else was an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think so too. I feel like a lot of people are overestimating this Li Mu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Feng is probably just confused for the moment. He was probably bluffed by Li Mu’s title as champion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other girls also found that reasoning convincing and quietly voiced their agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male student was furious, but he did not know how to refute them, so he could only snort and turn his head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, everyone’s gaze focused on the center of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu had already drawn out the Thornflower Cudgel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chenfeng bent his knees and planted himself there once more, clamping his arms tight as he shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come!!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1961,"2026-05-30T10:59:06.731Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c8bacbe6b0a2db88678a1424376a680564dcf7d9c91c331ebc541008f89e44a","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-58","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-56",99,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--cover.jpg"]
