Chapter 16

Chapter Sixteen: Advancing to the Top Two

Upon hearing Jianchen's words, Kadichu's eyes lit up, and she said, "You said it yourself, don't you dare to dodge." Clearly, Kadichu did not want to give Jianchen any time to prepare. Before she even finished speaking, she had already rushed towards Jianchen at high speed. As she approached Jianchen, just like before, she leaped into the air and kicked towards his face. However, this time, the speed of her kick was much faster than before.

A strange smile appeared on Jianchen's face. Indeed, he did not dodge or evade. Just as Kadichu's leg was about to hit his face, Jianchen's hands quickly shot out, firmly grabbing her calf. Then, with a twist of his waist and a change in his footwork, he quickly stepped in a circle. This series of actions was performed by Jianchen in one fluid motion. Then, it was seen that Jianchen actually grabbed one of Kadichu's legs and, amidst her panicked scream, began to spin her body in the air.

Jianchen's actions left many of the students watching from below speechless. This was not only because Jianchen showed no mercy and treated a girl as cute as Kadichu so rudely, but more so because he could so easily defeat an opponent whose Holy Power had reached the sixth level, which was surprising.

Below the stage, seeing her sister being treated so cruelly by Jianchen, Kadiyun's forehead veins bulged, and his face turned extremely dark. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. If it weren't for the vice principal Bai En overseeing the competition, he would have already rushed to the stage to give Jianchen a severe beating.

Jianchen's hands were like a tight and powerful clamp. After spinning Kadichu in the air twice, he released her. Immediately, Kadichu's small body drew a perfect arc in the air, flying straight down to the crowd below.

This move was something Jianchen had learned from Tietower. He had watched Tietower's matches several times and noticed that almost half of Tietower's opponents were thrown off the stage using this method. However, Jianchen had to admit that this was indeed a good way to win easily, especially when used against certain people at certain times.

Looking at Kadichu, who had been helped up by the crowd and was now standing again, Jianchen sneered. After the referee announced his victory, he slowly walked off the stage.

Staring at Jianchen, who had already left the stage, Kadichu's eyes were somewhat dazed. Growing up in the adoration of many, she had never experienced such humiliation. Being grabbed by the leg and spun in the air before being mercilessly thrown off the stage, though she was not seriously injured, the loss of face made her feel extremely wronged. Thinking about it, a mist began to form in her eyes, and finally, two clear tears rolled down her cheeks, and she began to cry silently.

Just as Jianchen had left the stage, Kadiyun, Kadichu's brother, blocked his path. Staring at Jianchen with a fierce gaze, he said in a deep voice, "Kid, you really have some guts to treat my sister like this."

Jianchen glanced at the furious Kadiyun with a calm look, sneered, and said nothing, then left. In Jianchen's view, talking to him was just a waste of words, as he despised rich kids like Kadiyun who bullied others using their family's power.

Watching Jianchen's gradually retreating back, Kadiyun's face grew increasingly dark.

Not long after Jianchen's match ended, the list of the top four was quickly announced: Changyang Xiangtian, Tietower, Kadiliang, and Tianmu Xiong.

Jianchen was not surprised that Tietower made it to the top ten, but he was somewhat surprised that Kadiliang had successfully advanced to the top four.

The fourth person to advance to the top four, Tianmu Xiong, was a boy about the same age as Kadichu, with an average build and a pale complexion. Although he was only six or seven years old, his handsome appearance and well-proportioned features were evident.

Vice Principal Bai En of Kagas Academy, sitting on the main stage, slowly scanned the four of them, smiled, and murmured, "It seems that this year's new students are much stronger than those of previous years. I truly hope that our Kagas Academy can produce a powerful figure."

After the top four were determined, they rested for about an hour before the next round of matches continued. Coincidentally, Jianchen's opponent this time was Kadiliang, while Tietower's opponent was Tianmu Xiong.

Below the stage, the three Kad siblings gathered together. Kadichu's eyes were still slightly red and swollen.

"Second brother, you must give him a good lesson," Kadichu said with burning anger, her eyes filled with hatred.

Seeing Kadichu's red and swollen eyes and the dried tear marks on her face, Kadiliang's eyes also filled with extreme anger. He said firmly, "Sister, don't worry. Even if I receive punishment from the academy, I will definitely give him a good lesson."

"Hmph, that arrogant kid, to treat my sister like this, he must be tired of living. Sister, don't worry. I promise you, that kid will have a very hard time in the academy. Although the principal is very biased towards commoner students, that kid is not a commoner. Even if I cripple him, the principal won't say anything, at most just criticize us a bit," Kadiyun said, a look of resentment flashing in his eyes. Both Kadiyun and Kadiliang were very concerned about their sister, and Jianchen's treatment of her had made them hate him to the core.

Soon, Jianchen and Kadiliang appeared on the stage. As soon as the bell signaling the start of the match rang, Kadiliang's figure suddenly rushed forward, quickly charging towards Jianchen and throwing a punch.

Jianchen nimbly dodged Kadiliang's attack and appeared behind him in the blink of an eye, throwing a punch at Kadiliang with great speed.

"Bang!"

Before Kadiliang could react, Jianchen's fist had already struck his back. The powerful impact from the punch made Kadiliang stagger forward, almost falling to the ground.

After throwing the punch, Jianchen did not pause. He quickly stepped forward, reaching Kadiliang before he could stand up, and kicked him hard in the buttocks. Immediately, Kadiliang, who had not yet regained his balance, lost control of his body, falling forward and landing on the ground. When he stopped, he was already at the edge of the stage, with half of his body hanging off.

Seeing this, the students watching Jianchen's match all let out exclamations of surprise. None of them had expected that after just one round, the match was almost over. Even more unbelievable was that Kadiliang, who had Holy Power at the ninth level, was so easily defeated by Jianchen, who had only the eighth level.

Seeing Kadiliang with half of his body hanging off the stage, Kadichu and Kadiyun below the stage were on the edge of their seats.

"Oh, how could Second Brother be so careless? This, this is really, he mustn't lose to that kid," Kadichu stomped her foot in anger, her face filled with worry as she looked at Kadiliang.

Kadiyun sighed in frustration, "What is Second Brother doing? To be so careless and be beaten by someone with only the eighth level of Holy Power."

On the main stage, Vice Principal Bai En's face gradually showed a pleased smile. He murmured, "This year's new students are indeed a treasure. One has innate divine strength, and the other is even more mysterious. His attacks, though simple, are full of subtlety, always making the most accurate response at the most critical moments. If they are well-cultivated, I believe they will become famous experts on the Tianyuan continent in the near future. I should discuss this matter with the principal."

On the stage, Kadiliang got up from the ground. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat. If his body had slid forward a bit more, he would have lost his balance and fallen off the stage. If he really lost to an opponent with only the eighth level of Holy Power, and in such a humiliating way, it would be a huge disgrace for him.

Just as Kadiliang got up and turned around, he suddenly saw a blur before his eyes. Before he could understand what was happening, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, he felt his body become light, and the stage in his view kept getting smaller. Finally, with a thud, he fell to the ground, and a footprint appeared on his white clothes.

Getting up from the ground in a daze, Kadiliang looked around and then realized what had happened. His eyes immediately filled with anger and resentment. Thinking of himself, a person with the ninth level of Holy Power, being defeated by an opponent with only the eighth level, and in such a wasteful manner, filled him with endless rage. This was a huge disgrace for him.

Kadiyun came to Kadiliang and said in a cold voice, "Second Brother, I am very disappointed in you. You have disgraced our Kad family." With that, Kadiyun left without even looking at Kadiliang.

Hearing Kadiyun's words, Kadiliang's face turned extremely ugly.

"Second Brother, you were too careless. You said you would help me teach him a lesson, but you ended up being taught a lesson yourself," Kadichu said, her tone filled with anger and frustration.

Hearing this, Kadiyun's face changed again, and he said in a deep voice, "It was just his luck, and he took advantage of the stage. If it were another place, he would not be my match. Don't worry, Third Sister, I will definitely give him a good lesson in the future."

Hearing this, Kadichu thought for a moment and agreed, "Second Brother, next time, you must give him a good lesson."

Kadiliang patted his chest and said with determination, "Don't worry, Third Sister, I will take care of it."

Not long after Jianchen's match ended, Tietower and Tianmu Xiong also determined their winner. Although Tietower's Holy Power was slightly weaker than Tianmu Xiong's, his innate divine strength made up for this deficiency. In the end, he defeated Tianmu Xiong with his monstrous strength and experience in fighting beasts, becoming the winner of this match and advancing to the top two along with Jianchen. The final Newcomer King would be decided between them.
