Chapter 271: Overwhelming Strength (3)

“Alright.” Zhou Jing nodded.

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to perform on stage. Because Tang Liu was more or less an acquaintance, he was too embarrassed to undermine him. Now that he had been chased out by his instructor, it was just right for him.

Zhou Jing took out a training saber from the weapon rack and slowly walked onto the arena.

“My name is Chen Rong. I have Class A potential.” The freshman introduced himself and suppressed his excitement. He shouted, “Let’s go!”

“You want me to attack first?” Zhou Jing pointed the tip of his blade at himself.

“Yeah.”

Chen Rong nodded. It was not that he was being arrogant. Although he felt that Zhou Jing was a pushover, he also believed that Zhou Jing must have some special skills to be specially selected by the faculty. Being the weakest did not mean that he had no combat strength at all.

However, his ability was suitable for defense and not for making the first move. Therefore, he decided to first adopt a defensive stance to observe Zhou Jing’s ability and find a flaw to defeat him.

At the thought of having a chance to step on the special selection and obtain the attention of the instructor team, Chen Rong was secretly excited.

“Alright.” Zhou Jing did not stand on ceremony with him.

Below the stage, everyone was a little envious of the student who was fighting with Zhou Jing.

“Tsk, someone beat me to it.”

“It’s fine. Everyone can challenge him anyway. Everyone, take turns to defeat him and show your strength.”

“You’re underestimating him too much. Zhou Jing is a special student after all. Even if he’s the weakest among them, only us Class A’s have a chance to defeat him. The other ten or so Class B’s most likely don’t have a chance of winning…”

Before everyone could finish speaking, a buzzing sound of metal colliding suddenly sounded from the stage.

Clang!!

Everyone was shocked and quickly looked over.

Zhou Jing seemed to have shaved an inch off the ground as he silently crossed a large distance and rushed in front of his opponent. The training saber slashed at a purple arc energy barrier.

The energy shield was covered in cracks, and the purple light illuminated Chen Rong’s shocked face.

“He’s fast too!”

Chen Rong was shocked. In that instant, Zhou Jing had approached him like a ghost, making him almost unable to react.

Fortunately, he only needed a thought to activate his protective shield ability, barely blocking this slash.

Even so, the protective shield that could withstand a cannonball was almost shattered by the saber.

“Its defense is not bad, but it’s not enough.”

Zhou Jing suddenly raised his knee and hit the cracked protective shield.

Crack!

The protective shield exploded like glass shattering.

Zhou Jing moved like lightning, passing through the flying energy fragments and grabbing Chen Rong’s neck.

Before the other party could summon a new protective shield, he push outwards.

Plonk!

Chen Rong flew into the air and was thrown off the stage. The huge force sent a few students staggering when they caught him.

“It’s a pretty good ability. It’s very suitable as a meat shield.”

Zhou Jing stood with the help of his saber. He did not use much strength at all, and spoke with an easy smile on his face.

In a flash, the battle was over. Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.

It was not that they could not accept Zhou Jing’s victory, but in their opinion, even if the challenger could not defeat Zhou Jing, there should at least be a fierce battle. Why was the outcome the same as Tang Liu’s?

They could accept being insta-killed by someone who had Class S potential, but if even a Class B could insta-kill them… Was the weakest among the special selection so powerful?

Could it be that our potential evaluation is fake? Is the difference between the specially selected and us actually so huge? Impossible!

Everyone also realized that although the speed Zhou Jing displayed just now was not as terrifying as Tang Liu’s, it was also shockingly fast. Moreover, it was purely based on his physical fitness, and his strength was also stronger.

“He’s not easy to deal with. We can’t underestimate him.” Many new students were shocked.

However, most people were confident and would not be convinced so easily. They still had no intention of giving up on the challenge.

Everyone went on stage one after another, but they were all defeated soundly.

Zhou Jing did not rely on pure technique and skills like before. Now that his powers had increased, his strength and speed had increased greatly. He had enough capital to fight head-on and use a more direct method to defeat his opponent.

His rich combat experience allowed him to adjust his combat style according to his own level and the abilities of his opponent.

In a short while, Zhou Jing had defeated seven Class A potential users in a row. The various techniques he displayed were simple and precise, with a unique sense of beauty. He was so strong that no matter who he faced, he could crush them without any flaws.

Moreover, he would give his opponent a chance to perform and get him to take out their trump card before defeating the person fair and square.

Many of the new students below the stage gradually felt their hearts turn cold.

They saw that no matter what kind of superpower it was, Zhou Jing only relied on his physical fitness and skills to defeat it. It was not fancy at all.

This was a calm and simple power. In their eyes, Zhou Jing was like a towering mountain. No matter how the wind attacked, he remained unmoved.

“He’s too strong…”

“How could this person be Class B? That doesn’t make sense!”

Many people looked depressed. They had already recognized the difference.

There was no chance to win, they really could not win…

Initially, he thought that there would be a soft persimmon to bully, but he did not expect the other party to be a tough nut instead. They had chosen the wrong target!

What Class B potential was this? It was completely misleading them!

At the side, Tang Liu was also stunned.

He had thought that Zhou Jing was quite weak, but now he realized that he seemed to be quite powerful.

“However, if such a powerful person is willing to acknowledge me as his big brother, it means that he thinks I’m stronger!”

Tang Liu perked up. He felt that there was nothing wrong with this logic and immediately felt even more smug.

On the viewing platform, the instructors nodded repeatedly in admiration.

“He’s very outstanding in combat. After his superpower evolved, his physical fitness is also very strong. Even if Zhou Jing takes the test now, he has a 60% to 70% chance of obtaining the Green Sprout Crest. His overall combat strength has basically crossed the threshold of a Rank 2 Super. He’s definitely one of the strongest among the new students.”

“Yes, I think we can conclude that he has the ability to be part of the core students.”

When Li Yun heard this, he also revealed a happy smile and slowly nodded, “Looks like our chances of winning this semester’s freshmen competition are higher.”

On the other side, Zhou Jing knocked down another Class A potential on the stage. He helped up his opponent, who had on an embarrassed expression, then looked down the stage and asked,

“Is anyone else coming up to spar?”

No one answered.

Many of the new students did not intend to continue fighting Zhou Jing. They could not see an opportunity at all.

They had already turned their gaze to the other special candidates and decided to change their challenge target.

Just as there was silence, Wu Fan suddenly jumped onto the stage.

“Let me do it.”

Wu Fan nodded at Zhou Jing expressionlessly.

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows. He still remembered Wu Fan’s challenge to him and smiled, “I was waiting for you.”

The new students immediately perked up.

This was the first spar between the special candidates. It could be said to be a competition between the seeded students.

They were just about to see if all the special candidates were as powerful as Zhou Jing.

Wu Fan did not attack immediately. Instead, he walked to the edge of the arena and took out a training saber that was similar to Zhou Jing’s before standing opposite him.

At this moment, Wu Fan’s eyes lit up as blurry figures flashed in his eyes.

In front of everyone, he suddenly assumed the same posture as Zhou Jing. Even the angle of the blade was exactly the same, as if it was carved from the same mold.

Zhou Jing’s eyes flashed, and he felt a little strange seeing a mirror image of himself.

‘Is this… some kind of imitation ability?’
