Chapter 9

"Qin Peng, you don't have to!" Guo Hao wanted to say something more, but Qin Peng waved his hand and said calmly, "Old Guo, you don't need to say more. I know what I'm doing!"

Challenging Du Chen was absolutely not the result of Qin Peng acting rashly. On one hand, Du Chen's attack on Guo Hao did infuriate Qin Peng, but on the other hand, Qin Peng was not the type of person who acted without considering the consequences. He was very clear that Du Chen would never defeat him.

Or rather, even if Du Chen was his opponent, Du Chen wouldn't be able to make him lose an arm or a leg. Qin Peng's body not only contained the essence left by Yun Duankong but also the effects of high-grade healing potions. However, these effects were only temporarily present in his body and would naturally dissipate over time.

Qin Peng needed to take advantage of the time when these effects were still present in his body, maximizing their effects by using Du Chen's attacks to fully stimulate the effects, which could also enhance his own strength to the maximum.

Seeing Du Chen's smug expression, Qin Peng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"My strength is still too weak. If I am weak, anyone can bully me. I must become stronger, much stronger!"

The news of Qin Peng's challenge to Du Chen quickly spread throughout the entire school. In fact, if it were ten minutes earlier, few would have known who Qin Peng was. However, because of this morning, when Su Shiming suddenly got close to Qin Peng, it attracted a lot of attention.

Qin Peng's information was quickly known by the students. When they learned that he was just a waste with a combat power of only 0.4, no one took him seriously.

Su Shiming had only occasionally gotten close to Qin Peng, and they were destined to be from two different worlds, with no possibility of any intersection. However, even so, the news of Qin Peng's challenge to Du Chen quickly spread throughout the entire academy.

Grade 6, Class 1!

The entire grade 6 was divided into 19 classes, each with significant differences in strength. Among them, Class 19 was the weakest, whether in terms of overall student strength, teacher quality, or resource allocation. In stark contrast, Class 1 was known as the elite of the elites, with an average combat power of over 4 for each student.

Su Shiming squinted her eyes, communicating with the optical brain embedded in her mind.

At this moment, she was investigating Qin Peng's information. Although Su Shiming's optical brain was not a biological optical brain like Yun Duankong's, it still had many permissions, especially since the Talent Academy was run by her family. Investigating Qin Peng's information was extremely easy for her.

Qin Peng gave her a very strange feeling.

He easily judged her combat power, which not many people could accurately determine. This was something Su Shiming had just broken through in the past three days. More importantly, Qin Peng emitted a scent of muscle and bone transformation.

Although the scent was extremely unpleasant, it was very familiar to Su Shiming. In the past three days, her father had made a new breakthrough, using his deep cultivation to help her transform her muscles and bones, allowing her to break through to a combat power of 6.

Soon, Qin Peng's information appeared in her mind.

Su Shiming felt that Qin Peng was becoming more and more interesting. The information indicated that Qin Peng was just an ordinary person.

But how did such a person manage to transform his muscles and bones?

Could it be that he ate something good? Or did he accidentally understand ancient martial arts techniques like the "Muscle Transformation Classic" and the "Bone Washing Classic"? In this era, some so-called martial arts secrets were no longer secrets. The "Muscle Transformation Classic" and the "Bone Washing Classic" were not unattainable, but most people could only use them to strengthen their bodies. Only a small number of exceptionally talented individuals could grasp their essence and transform their muscles and bones.

Could it be that he has exceptional talent?

Su Shiming thought to herself. At this moment, her friend suddenly called out. Su Shiming frowned slightly and casually opened the message. The content made her slightly stunned: "Qin Peng and their class leader Du Chen are going to duel?"

"This is quite interesting. What is his true strength?" Thinking of this, Su Shiming suddenly stood up, ignoring the fact that it was class time, and walked out of the classroom.

The teacher, who was used to such scenes, did not find it strange. After all, the Talent Academy was run by her family, and Su Shiming was an outstanding student. He couldn't say anything.

"Su Shiming?" Seeing Su Shiming walk out of the classroom, Wang Yang, who was sitting next to her, was slightly stunned. He also paid attention to the news of Qin Peng's challenge to Du Chen. There was an 80% chance that Su Shiming left for Qin Peng's sake.

"I have been pursuing you, but you ignore me, and you actually go to see that Qin Peng?" Flames of anger flickered in Wang Yang's eyes.

To challenge Du Chen, Qin Peng first needed the consent of his homeroom teacher, Gu Li. In fact, Gu Li had no intention of refusing. In her eyes, it would be best if Du Chen beat Qin Peng to death. To her, Qin Peng was nothing but a complete waste and a scoundrel.

Completely ignoring the disdain and contempt in Gu Li's eyes, Qin Peng directly went to the class duel arena.

This is suicide!

This was the evaluation of the entire class on Qin Peng.

Qin Peng's gaze swept over his classmates, his eyes filled with a hint of sorrow. As the weakest class in the entire grade 6, these people had already given up on standing out and instead mocked those who were even weaker.

Such people were the most pitiful!

Guo Hao looked at Qin Peng with some concern. Qin Peng just smiled, but suddenly his expression changed, and his gaze instinctively fixed on a spot—Su Shiming had arrived!

Why did this woman come?

Qin Peng immediately felt a headache. To be honest, he didn't really want to face Su Shiming. Others might want to get close to her, but Qin Peng was worried that the closer Su Shiming got to him, the easier it would be for her to discover his secrets.

Su Shiming's arrival went unnoticed by others except for Qin Peng. She didn't come close but found a corner and smiled at Qin Peng.

"Qin Peng, what are you looking at?" Du Chen suddenly roared, exerting force from his feet and instantly covering a distance of three to four meters, appearing in front of Qin Peng. His right fist trembled, and a terrifying force directly attacked Qin Peng's face.

Today, he was determined to cripple Qin Peng, making it impossible for him to return to the Talent Academy.

Swish!

Qin Peng hurriedly blocked with both hands in front of him.

However, just as Du Chen's fist was about to touch Qin Peng's palm, his movement suddenly stopped, and his left hand silently struck Qin Peng's chest.

Bang!

"Hidden Palm!"

Although Du Chen's palm was silent, it was full of power. The moment it hit Qin Peng's chest, Qin Peng felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed car.

Boom!

Qin Peng was instantly thrown into the air and fell heavily onto the arena.

This scene made Su Shiming momentarily stunned. In her view, Qin Peng should not have been so weak. Even if he was defeated, it shouldn't have been so easy.

"Good hit!"

The surrounding students immediately cheered, their jealousy burning fiercely. Su Shiming actually had a close relationship with Qin Peng, which they found unacceptable.

"Beat him to death!"

"Beat him to death!"

The low roars rose and fell. Du Chen walked step by step toward Qin Peng, a smug smile on his face. "You, a waste, actually dared to challenge me. What do you think you are?"

Seeing Qin Peng lying in front of him, Du Chen felt extremely satisfied. He enjoyed the scene of Qin Peng being trampled under his feet.

Moreover, if he did this well, he would be rewarded by someone behind the scenes.

Expelling Qin Peng from the school was a simple and significant task.

However, just as Du Chen approached, he was surprised to find that Qin Peng, who should have been unable to stand up, was actually standing.

"How is this possible?" Du Chen looked at Qin Peng in disbelief. He, he actually stood up, and he was unharmed.

"It's impossible, this is impossible. Why can he still stand? My palm should have made him unable to stand. Why did he stand up?"

Qin Peng looked at Du Chen, stretched his muscles slightly, and his smile grew even wider. "Feels great!"

Although the force of that palm was powerful, the pain was only for a moment. Qin Peng's judgment was correct. His body still contained a large amount of the effects of the potion. Du Chen's attack stimulated his body to absorb the essence left by Tian Ji Wushen, and the effects of the potion quickly repaired the damage to his body.

In this short time, Qin Peng felt the force spread throughout his body, making him feel warm and comfortable. Stimulated by the external attack, his pores slightly opened, and the impurities in his body began to be expelled.

Combat Power 0.6!

"What did you say?" Du Chen's voice suddenly turned cold.

Qin Peng's smile did not fade but instead looked at Du Chen with a more provocative gaze. "I said it feels great. What about it? If you don't believe me, come and hit me!"
