Hearing this, Jian Chen's heart skipped a beat. He asked again,"Tie Ta, how much strength do you have now? For example, how heavy can you lift an object?”
"Back when I was at home, I could already lift a big rock that weighed more than 400 jin.”Tie Ta said proudly. His face was filled with pride as soon as he mentioned this.
Hearing this answer, Jian Chen couldn't help but stare at Tie Ta with a strange expression. Even an ordinary adult would find it impossible to lift a rock weighing four hundred jin. However, Tie Ta was able to lift a rock weighing four hundred jin at such a young age. This was something Jian Chen couldn't believe.
"Tie Ta, how old are you this year?”Jian Chen looked at Tie Ta differently now.
"Sixteen years old." Tie Ta mumbled as he chewed on his food.
Jian Chen's gaze toward Tie Ta changed again. He said,"Tie Ta, have you always been this strong?”
"Yes, I was stronger than others since I was young, but I ate more food. In the past, when I was at home, I often didn't have enough to eat, so I often went into the mountains to hunt alone and then roasted it myself.”Tie Ta's tone was very calm.
Jian Chen took in a deep breath. He was now certain that Tie Ta was born with strength. Otherwise, he would not have been able to lift a boulder that weighed over four hundred jin at such a young age. What shocked Jian Chen even more was that Tie Ta had often ventured into the mountains to hunt alone. For a sixteen year old child to be able to do this, Jian Chen couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Tie Ta. After all, there were not only wild beasts in the forest, but also one or two magical beasts. The strength of magical beasts was not something that wild beasts could compare to.
At this moment, Tie Ta rubbed his stomach in satisfaction. He stood up from his chair and smiled at Jian Chen,"Changyang Xiang Tian, I'm full, I'm going back to my dorm to rest. There's still a competition tomorrow.”
Jian Chen nodded with a smile,"I hope you can enter the top three in tomorrow's finals.”
Tie Ta fiercely nodded. His eyes were filled with determination as he said,"I'll definitely work hard to get into the top three. A Class 1 Monster Core can usually be sold for ten purple coins.”
Not long after Tie Ta left, Jian Chen hurriedly ate his dinner and returned to his room. Just as he closed the door, there was a knock on the door.
"Fourth brother, are you there?" Changyang Hu's deep voice came from outside.
Hearing this, Jian Chen was stunned. He hadn't thought that it would be his big brother who had disappeared for two days. Jian Chen immediately opened the door and called Changyang Hu into the room.
"Fourth brother, I wonder if you have successfully advanced in the Freshmen Tournament.”As soon as they entered the room, Changyang Hu looked at Jian Chen and asked impatiently.
Jian Chen nodded his head,"I've already made it to the top 8. Tomorrow is the final battle."”
Hearing this, Changyang Hu's face lit up with joy. He said excitedly,"Fourth brother, you're indeed powerful. No wonder you came to Kargath Academy earlier than second sister and third brother.”With that, Changyang Hu took out a thumb-sized crystal and stuffed it into Jian Chen's hand,"Fourth brother, this is a Class 1 Monster Core. It was obtained from a Class 1 Magical Beast that I killed in the forest behind the academy with a few friends. Big brother prepared it for you. Take it. Alright, it's getting late, big brother won't disturb your rest. Tomorrow will be the last day of the competition. Fourth brother, you must work hard and strive to get first place.”With that, Changyang Hu turned around and walked out of the room, gently closing the door.
The moment Changyang Hu closed the door, Jian Chen's eyes inadvertently caught a three inch long wound on Changyang Hu's right arm.
Silently looking at the Class 1 Monster Core in his hand, Jian Chen could feel the lingering heat from it, but he could not calm down.
Although it was only a Class 1 Monster Core, Jian Chen could clearly feel the concern his big brother Changyang Hu had for him. When he saw the wound on Changyang Hu's arm, Jian Chen didn't even need to think to know that it must have been left behind by a magical beast. Thinking of this, Jian Chen couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, and a feeling that had never appeared in his previous life suddenly appeared in his heart.
After standing there in a daze for a moment, Jian Chen finally took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He then sat down on his bed and continued to cultivate. As for the Class 1 Monster Core, Jian Chen didn't use it. Instead, he placed it into his Space Belt. For tomorrow's battle, Jian Chen was extremely confident that he would be able to obtain first place. After all, he was a peerless expert in his previous life. Although he had lost his powerful cultivation after reincarnation, the various sword techniques and attainments in the Way of the Sword had been deeply imprinted into the depths of his soul. They had not been lost. It would be Jian Chen's capital to dominate the continent in the future.
Early the next morning, Jian Chen immediately went to the competition venue after eating his breakfast. Perhaps it was because today was the day that the final victor would be decided, but there were many more spectators than the previous two days. The extra people were almost all seniors of the academy.
The arena on the field had been adjusted last night. It had changed from the original five to four. Not only was the area larger than before, but even the hardness of the arena yesterday could not be compared.
At this moment, Jian Chen seemed to have sensed something. Turning his head slightly, he saw his big brother Changyang Hu trying his best to push the crowd aside and walk in his direction.
Noticing Jian Chen's gaze, Changyang Hu grinned and quickly pushed aside the people in front of him to come to Jian Chen's side. He patted Jian Chen's shoulder and laughed,"Fourth brother, you have to work hard today. Big brother doesn't expect you to get first place, as long as you can enter the top three.”To Changyang Hu, the monster cores were just a small matter. The most important thing was the ranking. Although Class 1 Monster Cores were expensive, the young master of the Changyang clan did not care about them.
"Big brother, don't worry. I won't let you down." Jian Chen smiled.”
Very soon, it was time for the competition. This time, the top four would be chosen from the top eight. After drawing lots to choose his opponent, Jian Chen immediately went up to the stage. Not long after, Jian Chen's opponent for this competition also slowly walked up to the stage. However, what surprised Jian Chen was that this time, his opponent was actually a girl. To be more accurate, it was the girl he had clashed with before-Ka Di Qiuli.
Ka Di Qiuli was wearing a dark red outfit. Although she was only 16 or 17 years old, her figure was very well-developed. She was curvy and skinny. The tight outfit perfectly outlined her slim figure that belonged to a woman. Coupled with her naturally beautiful face and fair skin, she now had the capital to make ordinary men fall for her. There was no doubt that Ka Di Qiuli would definitely be a great beauty in the future. However, perhaps it was because she was born into a large family, Ka Di Qiuli always had a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
Jian Chen stood on the stage with his bare hands. The reason for the Freshmen Tournament was because Kargath Academy wanted to use this method to determine the potential of each new student. Therefore, the tournament did not allow the use of weapons. Moreover, before reaching the Saint level, it was impossible to condense a Saint Weapon in the body. Therefore, all the new students fought with their fists and feet.
Ka Di Qiuli looked at Jian Chen with a proud expression,"You really didn't disappoint us. Weren't you very arrogant in the cafeteria that day? Let me teach you a lesson today.”Ka Di Qiuli's voice was extremely clear and pleasant to the ears.
Hearing this, Jian Chen's face revealed a disdainful sneer. These people who were born into noble families always had a lot of people who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
A loud bell rang, officially signaling the start of the competition.
As there were four arenas, the competition this time was carried out by eight people on four arenas at the same time. As the bell rang, the students participating in the battles on the four arenas all moved at the same time.
Ka Di Qiuli began to run toward Jian Chen, but when she was only three meters away from him, she suddenly jumped up from the ground and kicked Jian Chen in the face. Although Ka Di Qiuli was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she wasn't weak at all. Her Saint Force had already reached the 9th layer.
Jian Chen stood there without moving, his face calm. Just as Ka Di Qiuli's kick was about to reach his face, Jian Chen twisted his neck slightly and tilted his head to the side, just in time to dodge Ka Di Qiuli's kick.
Ka Di Qiuli's reaction was extremely fast. Seeing that her kick had missed, she clenched her fist into a fist and threw it at Jian Chen's nose. With the help of the 9th layer of Saint Force in her body, Ka Di Qiuli's fist was not only fast, but it also contained a powerful force that could injure an ordinary adult. Ka Di Qiuli didn't hold back at all when it came to Jian Chen. Whether it was for the sake of defeating Jian Chen to advance into the top four or to teach him a lesson, she didn't hold back at all.
Jian Chen easily dealt with Ka Di Qiuli's attacks. Even though his Saint Force was a level lower than Ka Di Qiuli's, Jian Chen was no ordinary child. He had a lot of battle experience from his previous life. As long as he wanted to, even if he didn't retaliate, he could make Ka Di Qiuli's attacks unable to even touch his clothes and defeat her in five exchanges.
Ka Di Qiuli had attacked Jian Chen several times, but she still hadn't touched his clothes. Not only did this make her extremely angry, but she also stopped her attacks. After taking a few breaths, Ka Di Qiuli placed her hands on her hips and stared at Jian Chen angrily,"Hey, are you going to fight or not? If you're not going to fight, get off the stage and stop jumping around here.”
Jian Chen looked at the angry Ka Di Qiuli with a face full of amusement and said in a calm voice,"You should be the one getting off the stage, not me. You can't even touch me, so how are you going to defeat me?”
"You…" Ka Di Qiuli's beautiful face was flushed red with anger as she pointed at Jian Chen, unable to say anything. However, her eyes quickly turned and she laughed coldly,"So what if I can't touch you? You still don't dare to fight me head-on. You can only hide there.”
"Oh, really?" Jian Chen had a strange smile on his face as he looked at Ka Di Qiuli with a strange gaze.
Ka Di Qiuli looked at Jian Chen arrogantly and said,"Of course. Otherwise, you'll have to fight me properly.”
Jian Chen looked at the other three arenas. After such a short period of time, the other three arenas were about to be decided. He turned his head to look at Ka Di Qiuli with a calm smile,"Since you want me to fight you properly, then fine, I'll do as you wish.”
