Chapter 40

Looking at the miserable state of the three Qian family members in the audience, Sun Yan smiled and said, "When the wall falls, everyone pushes. It seems your Qian family isn't very law-abiding, and you don't have much respect for the law."

"Letting you continue at Nanying Academy, who knows what trouble you'll cause in the future."

Sun Yan spoke each word clearly, repeating what a group of Qian family members had said earlier. Now, each word was like a sharp thorn, piercing the heart.

His expression changed slightly, and Sun Yan suddenly turned sideways. His left thumb pressed backward, while the other four fingers trembled slightly, like a butterfly with broken wings gently fluttering. It was a half-form of the "Flower Butterfly Mistake"!

In the next moment, his left thumb pressed against a fist that was silently approaching.

Behind him, Qian Li's sneak attack was stopped, and his face turned pale. He hadn't expected Sun Yan's perception to be so sharp, still able to notice his surroundings at this time. He stammered, "S-S-Sun... Sun... Sun Yan classmate..."

Sun Yan's left hand vibrated, and he threw Qian Feng to the ground like a dead dog.

He then turned sideways and advanced forcefully, using the "Bear Ape Lean." He raised his shoulder and extended his elbow, charging straight ahead.

Crack!

The powerful force transmitted, and Qian Li's chest made a crisp sound. His ribs broke, and his chest caved in. The fabric on his abdomen tore, revealing a bruise that was spreading. His body slid across the ground, stopping only when it hit the railing at the edge of the platform. Blood slowly flowed from his seven orifices, and he made no sound.

Looking at the Qian family members lying on the ground, Sun Yan turned around and said with a smile, "Qian Lin classmate, see? It's just you and me left. We really have a connection."

At this moment, the smile on the young man's face seemed more terrifying than a devil to Qian Lin. His knees buckled, and he fell to the ground, kneeling. "Sun Yan classmate, Big Brother Sun, don't kill me, please, don't kill me!"

"Kill you?" Sun Yan couldn't help but laugh. "Your judgment hasn't improved at all in the past half month! Don't you know that the 'Zhengri Elimination Battle' forbids intentional murder?"

He lifted his foot, and his right leg lashed out like a whip, slapping Qian Lin's face, leaving a shoe print, just like half a month ago. His right cheek quickly swelled, and Qian Lin continued to beg pitifully, still not reacting.

Slap, slap, slap. Three more kicks followed, and Qian Lin finally felt the intense pain from both cheeks, clutching his face and wailing.

"Stop kicking, stop kicking..."

Slap, slap, slap, slap... Sun Yan's feet flew, and in the blink of an eye, he had delivered hundreds of kicks. Just like half a month ago, he turned Qian Lin's square face into a pig's head, leaving him unable to speak as he lay on the ground.

However, this time, Sun Yan wasn't as merciful as he was half a month ago. Each kick contained a trace of inner essence, destroying Qian Lin's facial nerves. Even if his injuries could be healed, Qian Lin's face would be permanently deformed.

Finally, he lifted his foot and kicked Qian Lin several meters away.

Looking around at the 16 Qian family members lying on the platform, Sun Yan smiled shyly, "Is this enough to pass the test?"

Above the platform, the lights from the dome shone on Sun Yan. After this intense fight, his school uniform remained neat and unblemished. His messy short hair gleamed under the lights, emitting a translucent luster. His shy and handsome face was like a natural light source, exuding an indescribable charm.

The entire martial arts hall was silent, the cheers suddenly stopping. People were stunned, like clay statues, unable to believe what had just happened. A second-level martial artist had truly defeated 18 elite students, and the battle had been so overwhelming.

The "Zhengri Elimination Battle," a test that had been in place for 220 years, had never been challenged at Nanying Academy. Today, a young man had successfully challenged it, and the battle had been so exhilarating.

Cheers thundered through the martial arts hall. Everyone knew that this battle would become a legend at Nanying Academy, a moment they would never forget.

Vice Principal Wang Sen was the first to react. He rushed to the platform and shouted, "Now, I announce that Sun Yan has completely passed the 'Zhengri Elimination Battle'! Let's remember this moment."

Wang Sen announced it three times, and the audience finally reacted, their cheers almost tearing the roof off. The entire martial arts hall was filled with the sound of cheers.

At the entrance to the platform, Mu Tong rushed over, hugging Sun Yan around the waist and shouting, "See that? This is my brother, Sun Yan! Yan, you did great. In the future, when you save the girls, you get the meat, and I'll drink the soup. Hahaha..."

What was this all about! Vice Principal Wang Sen, standing nearby, turned black with anger. However, he quickly smiled. Although the martial arts test had been tumultuous, the final result was gratifying. A martial arts genius had emerged in the final graduation exam, and it would be hard for anyone to say that Nanying Academy had wasted talent.

In one of the VIP boxes, Carter and Shui Lianqing watched the young man on the platform, both smiling. The latter's eyes glistened with tears, knowing that after today, she might have little interaction with this genius.

In another VIP box, Feng Lingxue and Chen Wang nodded with smiles. They had always been confident in Sun Yan, but they hadn't expected his progress to be so rapid.

Feng Lingxue, resting her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling, said, "To perfect the 'Second-Level Crushing Fist' so quickly, this guy's talent is really enviable!"

Chen Wang nodded, "At Sun Yan's rate of progress, it probably won't take a year... No, less than a year to catch up with us." The year he mentioned was an understatement. Chen Wang knew Sun Yan's situation best; the young man had completed his body tempering and essence gathering in less than 20 days!

In 20 days, he had advanced three levels to become a second-level martial artist. Even Feng Lingxue hadn't progressed that quickly, but Chen Wang didn't plan to reveal this.

"Awesome, awesome! This Sun Yan is really something!" Chang Cheng laughed heartily, his excitement evident as he licked his lips, "Damn, I really want to go down and fight him! Just watching is not enough!"

His body acted before his mind, which was Chang Cheng's character. As he spoke, he really wanted to rush out. However, Chen Wang held him back, "You, calm down. Don't you know the time and place?"

In the VIP box where the three examiners were, the scene was particularly intense. Lieutenant Colonel Ye Zefeng stood to the side, helplessly watching his two superiors.

Teacher Dao and Guo Nu were glaring at each other, ready to fight at any moment. The powerful aura they emitted forced Ye Zefeng to the corner.

"Old Guo, we're old partners, good brothers. Are you really going to turn against me over a student?" Teacher Dao's tone was sharp, his eyes fierce.

"Even brothers need to be clear about accounts. Old Dao, you need to understand. A student like Sun Yan, if placed in the regular department, will be buried. Only the rich resources of the elite department can ensure a bright future for his martial arts path." Guo Nu's voice was cold, showing no favoritism.

Teacher Dao sneered, "Your elite department only has an advantage because of the priority in resources. If I apply to the regular department's teaching committee for an additional 100 credits, no, 100 credits aren't enough. I can apply for more, 500 credits. That way, the resources Sun Yan receives won't be inferior to those of the elite department. Plus, with my personal guidance, he will surely outshine the elite department in the first-year competition."

"Hmph! You regular department have been making such empty boasts for years. When have they ever come true?" Guo Nu sneered, "Don't delude yourself, Old Dao. The regular department is just that, and the gap between it and the elite department is like a chasm, impossible to bridge."

Teacher Dao's anger surged, "Nonsense! It's because your elite department has taken all the good students. This time, I won't let go."

"Then let's see who's better!"

"Fine!"

Seeing that the two were really going to fight, Ye Zefeng hurriedly stepped forward, "Dao Commander, Guo Commander, this is Nanying Academy. Fighting here would have a terrible impact!"

Hearing this, Teacher Dao and Guo Nu glared at each other, finally reining in their aura and dissipating their inner essence. They turned away, no longer acknowledging each other.

...

The morning passed quickly, and the third free-for-all battle of the afternoon was about to begin.

Although the many students in the martial arts hall were still excited, they had to leave one by one. Sun Yan had already been dragged away by Wang Sen.

Brother, I haven't had enough fun yet! Why did you drag me to the vice principal's office?

Sun Yan was a bit resentful. Being the center of attention and enjoying the hero's welcome was every young man's dream, especially with those shy girls waiting for him to pick them.

"Sigh, keep a calm mind, keep a calm mind. Be low-key!" Sun Yan told himself in the office.

Clearly, Wang Sen had dragged Sun Yan over in a hurry because he had a lot of good things waiting for him, such as distributing the bonus for the genius cultivation plan, signing various documents, granting privileges to the genius martial artist, and setting a consistent external message.

In short, it was about negotiating with Sun Yan to keep everything under wraps, making it seamless and leaving no room for leaks.

Sun Yan naturally cooperated, but he made one request: the aftermath of offending the Qian family, especially the safety of his father, Sun Xiang.

"Don't worry, Sun Yan. The military will provide strict protection for the families of genius martial artists. You don't need to worry at all," Wang Sen smiled, like an old fox. "For a considerable time, the Qian family won't take action against you or your family. On the contrary, they will cooperate with the military to protect your family. If anything happens, the first to be blamed will be the Qian family."

Sun Yan was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then understood. If anything happened to him and his father after this, the Qian family would be the first to be implicated. Although the Qian family was a powerful martial arts clan, they were no match for the military.

Wang Sen finally instructed, "Three days from now, at 8 AM, come to the school to receive the rewards left by Mr. Zhang Zhengri."

Holding a golden card with 7.2 million credit points, Sun Yan dashed out of the office, humming to himself: "Lalala, from poverty to wealth, now I'm a rich man, drinking fine wine, dating beautiful girls, driving luxury cars..."
