Huang Xiaolong arrived at the Starry Sky Academy. As soon as he entered the square, he encountered Li Lu.
"Xiaolong!" Li Lu saw Huang Xiaolong from afar, exclaimed in surprise, and rushed over, hugging Huang Xiaolong as she used to. The teachers and students passing by the square looked over, and Huang Xiaolong smiled bitterly.
"Alright, people are watching," Huang Xiaolong said.
Only then did Li Lu let go.
After a few months, Li Lu had grown taller, her face becoming even more beautiful. When she smiled, her dimples were even more charming, her eyes lively, and her curved eyebrows exuded cuteness and mischief.
Feeling Huang Xiaolong's gaze, Li Lu's face turned slightly red, her demeanor somewhat shy, and she lowered her head.
"Xiaolong, the class competition and grade competition are tomorrow. You need to be careful of Jiang Teng," Li Lu said after a while, raising her head. "After he was severely injured by you last time and was healed by the dean and vice-dean, he has been training crazily for these few months. His strength has improved rapidly, reaching the peak of the fourth stage!"
Peak of the fourth stage? Huang Xiaolong was somewhat surprised.
He didn't expect that kid to have reached the peak of the fourth stage as well.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong's eyes narrowed. He saw Jiang Teng leading a group of people walking over from a distance.
Li Lu turned her head and, seeing it was Jiang Teng, her face changed, and she moved behind Huang Xiaolong, looking somewhat wary of Jiang Teng.
Seeing Li Lu's reaction, Huang Xiaolong frowned.
Jiang Teng came to Huang Xiaolong, looked at Li Lu behind him, and sneered. He said to Huang Xiaolong, "I just heard that you were back, and it turns out it's true. The class competition is tomorrow, Huang Xiaolong. This time, I will make you regret, thoroughly regret!" As he said this, he pointed at Li Lu, "In tomorrow's class competition, I want to see if you can save her like you did last time!"
Jiang Teng's eyes flashed with a fierce, predatory light, showing how deeply he hated Huang Xiaolong.
Last time, right where he was standing, Huang Xiaolong defeated him in front of everyone, turning him, the so-called super genius of the academy for a hundred years, into a laughingstock of the academy!
Not only that, but the entire capital city also made him a laughingstock during their tea breaks.
For these five months, he had almost lived in the ridicule and gossip of others. He hated, hated Huang Xiaolong! Hated everything related to Huang Xiaolong!
For these five months, he trained crazily day and night, all for the year-end class competition, to defeat Huang Xiaolong in front of everyone, to crush him thoroughly!
Huang Xiaolong looked at Jiang Teng, who was filled with hatred, as if he wanted to devour him alive, and remained cold. "Tomorrow? No need to wait until tomorrow! Summon your sick cat spirit soul."
Sick cat spirit soul!
The people who came with Jiang Teng couldn't help but show a variety of expressions.
Jiang Teng's face turned red with anger, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "Fine, Huang Xiaolong, if that's the case, there's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll cripple you right now!" As he said this, his body was enveloped in a surge of Light Battle Qi, and he summoned his spirit soul, the Holy Light Tiger.
Jiang Teng's aura kept rising, from the fourth stage, to the middle of the fourth stage, to the late fourth stage, and finally to the peak of the fourth stage. Suddenly, his aura surged again, breaking through to the fifth stage!
"Fifth stage! Wasn't Jiang Teng at the peak of the fourth stage? Oh my God, he actually broke through to the fifth stage!"
"Too terrifying! He broke through from the fourth stage to the fifth stage in less than half a year!"
Everyone was shocked, including Li Lu.
The academy had rumored that Jiang Teng had reached the peak of the fourth stage, but no one knew that he had broken through to the fifth stage!
Jiang Teng fully revealed his aura, feeling secretly pleased and proud as he listened to the shocked comments around him. To wash away his previous disgrace and shock the entire academy, he had even swallowed a century-old spirit medicine from his family's collection to forcefully break through to the fifth stage.
"Huang Xiaolong, are you shocked that I've broken through to the fifth stage?" Jiang Teng looked at Huang Xiaolong and sneered. "I don't believe you can break through to the fifth stage either!" Generally, even if Huang Xiaolong had a top-tier spirit soul at the eleventh level, it would be difficult to break through from the peak of the fourth stage to the fifth stage in five months.
In Jiang Teng's view, unless Huang Xiaolong had also swallowed a rare spirit medicine like him.
However, that was an impossible thing.
Jiang Teng's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Last time, you hit me fifteen times! This time, I will return thirty, a hundred times!" As he said this, he leaped up and struck Huang Xiaolong with a palm, filled with all his hatred from the past five months.
"Tiger Flame Palm!"
"Mountain Tiger King!"
A giant tiger accompanied the palm print, breaking through the air.
In a corner, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu stood there, also surprised and taken aback by Jiang Teng's display of strength. They clearly hadn't expected Jiang Teng to break through to the fifth stage before the class competition. In fact, they had already arrived at the square and observed the entire situation but had no intention of intervening.
Xiong Chu exclaimed, "Jiang Teng didn't disappoint us. He broke through to the fifth stage in five months. I thought Huang Xiaolong would win the first place in the new students' class competition, but now it seems uncertain!"
Sun Zhang's eyes were deep, and he said, "I've always been curious about Huang Xiaolong's spirit soul. Now that Jiang Teng has broken through to the fifth stage, Huang Xiaolong will likely be forced to summon his spirit soul!"
"Dean, who do you think will win this time?" Xiong Chu asked.
Sun Zhang pondered and said, "It should be a draw!"
Huang Xiaolong stood there, looking at Jiang Teng's palm breaking through the air. His eyes turned cold, and without much movement, he pressed his palm into the air, sending a soft palm force to meet Jiang Teng's Tiger Flame Palm.
Jiang Teng, in mid-air, suddenly felt an overwhelming force surge towards him like a tidal wave.
With a "bang," like a stone being hit by a wave, Jiang Teng's body was violently shaken and then thrown away.
Before Jiang Teng hit the ground, Huang Xiaolong's figure flashed, and he appeared above Jiang Teng. His eyes were cold, and he struck down with another palm.
"Stop!"
Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu shouted in alarm, rushing over, but they were a step too late.
Huang Xiaolong's palm struck Jiang Teng's chest again, and with a dull thud, Jiang Teng's body was slammed straight into the ground from the air. The entire square shook, and the starlight stones around the square cracked, a shocking sight.
Jiang Teng lay there like a dead dog, twitching, his mouth open, making a weak, wheezing sound.
Two figures descended from the air, and Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu finally arrived. Seeing Jiang Teng lying there like a dead dog, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly approached, channeling their Battle Qi to heal Jiang Teng, just like last time.
The new students and passing teachers and students who had come with Jiang Teng looked at Huang Xiaolong with fear.
Several new students who were close to Jiang Teng were so frightened that they fled in a panic, not daring to stay.
After slamming Jiang Teng into the ground, Huang Xiaolong landed, looking at him coldly. This time, he had used heavy force, wanting to make Jiang Teng fully understand the gap between them, so he wouldn't keep showing off in front of him.
