Chapter 9

Originally, they thought that with Mu Zhenfei having the upper hand, they would get to see Chu Yunfan's face being slapped, but they were dumbfounded and speechless. It turned out that the ones whose faces were slapped were themselves, and they were the ones who were dumbfounded and speechless.

Of course, many people would not admit it. "I never bet on Mu Zhenfei winning. I always thought Di Ming would win."

Only Gao Hongzhi was completely unconcerned about his misjudgment and quickly asked, "Yunfan, how did you know Di Ming would win? I didn't notice that Mu Zhenfei's stance was unstable at all!"

Many people's gazes also turned to him, their ears perked up. They also wanted to know why, hoping that Chu Yunfan had just gotten lucky, otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing if everyone else guessed wrong and only he guessed right.

Chu Yunfan suddenly noticed that on the opposite side of the circle was Tang Siyu. At that moment, even Tang Siyu's bright, beautiful eyes were fixed on him, with a hint of curiosity, as if she also wanted to know the answer.

On his diagonal side, another prominent figure in the class, Feng Deying, was looking at him with a somewhat unfriendly expression, though he quickly reined it in. Chu Yunfan, however, still keenly sensed it.

Chu Yunfan paused for a moment and then said, "Mu Zhenfei's stance wasn't actually that unstable. It's just that Di Ming is particularly skilled in leg techniques, so I said that!"

The crowd seemed to understand, but it still sounded like he had just gotten lucky, noticing that one point. If they had noticed it earlier, there would have been no room for this guy to show off.

Even Di Ming looked over with a smile, though whether he had just remembered to attack Mu Zhenfei's lower body because of Chu Yunfan's words was something only he knew.

However, just as Chu Yunfan finished speaking, a figure charged over with a fierce momentum. It was none other than Mu Zhenfei. Unlike the smiling victor Di Ming, Mu Zhenfei, who had lost this sparring match, was extremely angry.

"Chu Yunfan, if you have the guts, don't run away! If you're a man, come and fight me!" Clearly, Mu Zhenfei had heard Chu Yunfan's words. If he had won, it would have been a minor issue, but since he lost, he became the backdrop for Chu Yunfan's showboating.

"What's the matter? Can't handle losing? You were just talking about being a man a moment ago?" Before Chu Yunfan could respond, Gao Hongzhi had already stepped forward. "You lost, and now you're blaming the people outside the ring!"

"High Class President!" Gao Hongzhi looked at Feng Deying, emphasizing the three words. "What's it got to do with you? How about we have a go at each other?"

Facing the class president Feng Deying, Gao Hongzhi did not back down. Although one was the class heartthrob and the other a fat comedian, everyone who knew the situation in Class 11 knew that they were both top students among the boys, inevitably competing with each other.

Neither would yield!

"Gao Hongzhi, don't get so worked up. I'm just talking about the facts. What's wrong with classmates sparring? Chu Yunfan hasn't even said anything, and you jump in like that?" Feng Deying said with a mocking expression.

His words drew everyone's attention to Chu Yunfan, all wanting to know if he would dare to fight.

Everyone knew that Chu Yunfan's talent was average. Mu Zhenfei still had a chance to get into the Martial Arts Class, but Chu Yunfan had no chance at all. There was only one month left, and he was still at the fifth level of the Physical Body Realm, two levels behind. One month was too short.

"Fine, if you insist!" Chu Yunfan stood up and said.

He found himself secretly excited. In the past, he would never have accepted such a random challenge. His family's financial situation meant he couldn't afford real combat. Although practical combat improved skills quickly, the cost of treatment for even a minor injury was enough to make him wince.

But now, after his breakthrough, he was secretly excited.

"Good, at least you're a man!" Mu Zhenfei, seeing Chu Yunfan agree, showed a fierce expression. He wanted to vent all his anger from the previous defeat on Chu Yunfan, to teach him a lesson about speaking out of turn.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Gao Hongzhi asked, somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, it's just a sparring match!" Chu Yunfan nodded and said.

After both were ready, the others moved away from the sparring area.

"You said my stance was unstable, I'll show you how stable I am!" Mu Zhenfei sneered and kicked directly at Chu Yunfan's face.

He not only wanted to defeat Chu Yunfan but also to humiliate him.

"Idiot!"

Chu Yunfan sneered. He had said Mu Zhenfei's stance was unstable, and Mu Zhenfei dared to kick like that.

Chu Yunfan's eyes faintly glowed with a golden light, and with just a raised hand, he blocked Mu Zhenfei's kick.

With a "thud," Mu Zhenfei felt as if he had kicked a steel plate. His foot bone ached terribly, but Chu Yunfan remained unmoved, as if Mu Zhenfei had kicked a wall.

In a flash, Chu Yunfan took a step forward and delivered a simple straight punch, which hit Mu Zhenfei's chest directly.

The punch was powerful, and Mu Zhenfei flew back more than two meters before landing heavily on the ground.

In an instant, the room was so quiet that a pin could be heard. Everyone was dumbfounded. Mu Zhenfei had lost so quickly?

If the previous match with Di Ming had been a hard-fought battle, what was this?

Chu Yunfan had only blocked and attacked once, and Mu Zhenfei was defeated.

The defeat was too quick and too unexpected!

Only Chu Yunfan knew that from the beginning, Mu Zhenfei had no chance. All of Mu Zhenfei's weaknesses were clear to him, and after breaking through to the sixth level of the Physical Body Realm, his physical strength was clearly several times stronger than Mu Zhenfei's.

So Mu Zhenfei had no chance from the start.

"Did I see wrong?"

"How could this happen? I just blinked, and the match was over!"

"I must have seen wrong, I must have seen wrong!"

The students were in an uproar, still unable to believe what they had seen. Even Tang Siyu, with her bright eyes, looked at Chu Yunfan in surprise.

Everyone's gaze toward Chu Yunfan had changed. In one day, their impression of Chu Yunfan had grown more than in the past two years combined. If his smooth answers to Mr. He's questions in the morning had only slightly improved their view, now they were completely impressed.

In this world, martial arts were supreme. A person's martial arts cultivation was more eye-catching than anything else.

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, a stern voice came from the classroom door.

"What are you all doing?" A tall figure walked into the classroom, their class instructor, Qin Wu.

He walked in, glanced around the classroom, and saw Chu Yunfan in the center and Mu Zhenfei lying on the ground.

These were just sparring matches between students, which he usually had no interest in. However, it was unexpected that the one who was defeated was Mu Zhenfei, a student with decent talent, and the one who defeated him was Chu Yunfan, whom he thought had little potential.

As a teacher, he knew the basic situation of each student. Although Chu Yunfan worked hard, his talent was average, and the possibility of further improvement was small. Although it was harsh, that was the reality.

But today, Chu Yunfan had surprised him.

Qin Wu stared at Chu Yunfan for a while and then asked, "Have you broken through to the sixth level?"

Chu Yunfan thought to himself, Qin Wu, as the school's martial arts instructor, was indeed formidable, seeing through his breakthrough at a glance.

Since he had been exposed, he did not hide it and nodded, "Yes, I have broken through to the level of 'sinew and bone resonance.'"

"Good!" Qin Wu nodded and said no more.

At that moment, the students were truly in an uproar, all looking enlightened.

"No wonder, no wonder. It turns out Chu Yunfan has also broken through to the sixth level!"

"Mu Zhenfei lost a bit unfairly. He was too careless, but Chu Yunfan was also too sly, not saying he had broken through, catching him off guard!"

"If it happened again, Mu Zhenfei wouldn't lose!"

The students were discussing, but they were not too surprised. After all, Chu Yunfan was already at the fifth level of the Internal Strength stage, and breaking through to the sixth level of 'sinew and bone resonance' was a normal progression.

It was just unexpected that he could defeat Mu Zhenfei so quickly after breaking through, considering Mu Zhenfei had been at the sixth level for several months.

At that moment, Gao Hongzhi's lips curled up slightly, and he said disdainfully, "It's useless. Even if it happened again, Mu Zhenfei would still lose. Whether in strength, speed, or the angle of the attack, Yunfan was flawless. It's not about being caught off guard; it's about absolute strength!"

The students, hearing Gao Hongzhi's words, fell silent for a moment, realizing that the previous match couldn't be explained by Mu Zhenfei being caught off guard.

"Quiet down, class will continue. Today, I will teach you practical combat techniques!" Qin Wu clapped his hands and said.
