Chapter 56

Jiang Teng looked at Li Lu and said coldly, "I'm sorry, but I have always detested useless people who rely on their family's power! And I also detest those who stand with such useless people! In a moment, I won't hold back. If you have any complaints, blame that useless person!" After saying this, he pointed at Huang Xiaolong.

The implication of Jiang Teng's words was clear, and everyone couldn't help but look at Huang Xiaolong. Some of the freshmen who were originally standing next to Huang Xiaolong took a few steps back, distancing themselves from him to avoid being misunderstood by Jiang Teng and suffering as a result.

Seeing this, Jiang Teng's expression turned satisfactory. Then, he turned his head and suddenly slapped towards Li Lu.

"Tiger Flame Palm!"

A tiger-shaped palm imprint, carrying a bright tiger flame, instantly struck towards Li Lu's chest, fully releasing fourth-stage martial qi. At this moment, Jiang Teng's aura was about twice as strong as before.

Everyone was greatly shocked. They were surprised by Jiang Teng's strength, and also by the fact that he actually used the high-grade mystic martial technique, Tiger Flame Palm, against Li Lu!

Previously, Jiang Teng defeated the first seven people without using Tiger Flame Palm, but now he used it against Li Lu, showing his hatred for Huang Xiaolong.

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads, looking at Li Lu with pity. If this palm struck, Li Lu would be severely injured and would need to stay in bed for at least two to three months.

To be innocently implicated because of a useless person, this was too unlucky!

Xiong Meiqi watched as Jiang Teng's Tiger Flame Palm was about to strike Li Lu's chest, her brows furrowed, but in the end, she didn't intervene.

Li Lu's eyes were filled with fear and panic. With her newly broken third-stage strength, she couldn't possibly dodge Jiang Teng's high-grade mystic martial technique, Tiger Flame Palm.

Just as everyone thought Li Lu would be slapped away by Jiang Teng, suddenly, a figure flashed, then hugged Li Lu, and the two turned, narrowly avoiding Jiang Teng's attack.

Jiang Teng's palm force missed, and everyone was shocked, feeling unexpected. Then they looked over and saw that the person who had hugged Li Lu and dodged Jiang Teng's attack was none other than the "useless" Huang Xiaolong that Jiang Teng had just mentioned!

Even Xiong Meiqi was somewhat surprised.

Huang Xiaolong ignored everyone's gazes, looked at Li Lu in his arms, and asked, "Are you okay?"

The originally panicked Li Lu gradually calmed down, her dimples showing, "Xiaolong, I'm fine!"

"You go down first, I'll handle it," Huang Xiaolong said.

"Xiaolong, you?!" Li Lu asked with concern.

"It's fine!" Huang Xiaolong waved his hand, then sent a palm force, gently pushing Li Lu out of the light circle, and turned to look at Jiang Teng.

At this moment, Sun Zhang, standing at a corner of the square, saw Huang Xiaolong save Li Lu from Jiang Teng's palm and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Who is this freshman?" He could tell that Huang Xiaolong, who saved Li Lu from Jiang Teng's palm, was not weak.

Xiong Chu was taken aback. The dean didn't know who this kid was?

"Dean, this kid came to register with your recommendation letter," Xiong Chu replied without much thought.

"What?! Him?!" Sun Zhang was shocked.

Seeing Sun Zhang's surprised expression, Xiong Chu felt strange. Sun Zhang noticed Xiong Chu's confusion and, after some thought, said, "That recommendation letter was for Marshal Haotian!"

"Marshal, Marshal Haotian!" Xiong Chu was stunned, exclaiming.

It was actually Marshal Haotian! The three-time marshal Haotian, who commanded hundreds of armies! The second most powerful person in the kingdom, just below the king!

Thinking of this, Xiong Chu broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he hadn't made the mistake of canceling the registration and killing the three guards that day. Otherwise!

Thinking of this, Xiong Chu felt a chill down his back.

Starry Sky Academy was the kingdom's top academy. The only two people in Luotong Kingdom who could make Starry Sky Academy wary were the king, Wang Zhe, and Marshal Haotian!

If Xiong Chu had known that one of the three guards Zhong Yuan suggested killing that day was Marshal Haotian's junior brother, his back would have been even colder.

"Are you, okay?" Sun Zhang asked, seeing Xiong Chu suddenly break out in a cold sweat and wipe his forehead.

"Dean, I'm fine, I'm fine!" Xiong Chu said in a panic.

Sun Zhang didn't think much of it and turned to look at Huang Xiaolong, who was facing off against Jiang Teng. "Old Haotian actually recommended this kid. It seems this kid has a close relationship with him. Could he be his illegitimate child?!"

Although Marshal Haotian was over a hundred and ten years old, the reproductive ability of innate experts wasn't affected by age. Some innate experts could have children even at three or four hundred years old, so it wasn't surprising that Sun Zhang thought this.

However, if Marshal Haotian heard Sun Zhang say Huang Xiaolong was his illegitimate child, he might think differently!

"How long do you think that kid can hold out against Jiang Teng's palm?" Sun Zhang changed the subject and asked.

Xiong Chu hesitated and said, "Probably three breaths." So far, only one person had held out for four breaths. If Huang Xiaolong could hold out for three breaths, it would be quite good. Xiong Chu could tell that Huang Xiaolong wasn't weak, so he made this judgment.

Hearing this, Sun Zhang shook his head.

Seeing Sun Zhang shake his head, Xiong Chu misunderstood and said, "So, Dean, you think Huang Xiaolong can only hold out for two breaths?"

"No, four breaths!" Sun Zhang said.

"What? Four breaths?!" Xiong Chu was somewhat disbelieving. He thought Huang Xiaolong holding out for three breaths was already quite good, but the dean said four breaths!

If Huang Xiaolong could really hold out for four breaths, then he wouldn't be useless. In fact, among the freshmen, his strength and talent would definitely rank in the top twenty.

Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu's conversation was unknown to the crowd. At this moment, Jiang Teng, facing off against Huang Xiaolong, said coldly, "You finally came out. I thought you were hiding and wouldn't dare to come out. If that were the case, you wouldn't just be useless, but a cowardly rat as well!"

Huang Xiaolong sneered, "In this world, there are really a lot of self-important idiots!" As he said this, he couldn't help but recall the slogan the other person had shouted in the classroom when practicing Tiger Flame Palm, his face full of ridicule. "When the holy tiger appears, it is invincible in the world?"

Jiang Teng's face turned extremely ugly, and his body was constantly emitting bright martial qi. Behind him, his holy tiger martial soul roared to the sky, shaking the high air, and the sky above the square changed.

The tiger's anger, the change in the sky and wind!

Jiang Teng no longer held back, his aura continuously rising, much stronger than when he attacked Li Lu.

"I'll show you the difference between me, the academy's century-long super genius, and you, a useless person who came to register with a family recommendation letter!" Jiang Teng said coldly, his eyes flashing with golden light. Then he leaped up, instantly appearing in front of Huang Xiaolong, his figure so fast that even some of the first-year seniors couldn't see clearly.

Everyone was greatly shocked. They didn't expect that Jiang Teng, fully displaying his strength, would be so strong, not weaker than some first-year seniors!
