Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the news that Chu Lingjun and Chen Zhiqi were going to spar spread, more people showed up.

Chen Zhiqi held the wooden sword in her hand. She gritted her teeth and looked at Chu Lingjun with some doubt.

Was what Chu Lingjun said just now true?

Could he defeat her without lightning?

Chen Zhiqi had always wanted to fight Chu Lingjun due to her competitiveness.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t fought with espers before, but it was her first time fighting someone who had awakened lightning powers!

Sparring with all kinds of experts and honing her swordsmanship had always been her pursuit!

“Who do you think will win?” Ding Peng looked at Lin Yin, Zhuo Chang, and the others as he asked.

“It depends on the range of motion. If Chen Zhiqi gets close to Chu Lingjun, Chu Lingjun will definitely lose. If Chen Zhiqi can’t get close, then Chen Zhiqi will definitely lose.” Zhuo Chang said slowly.

“I think so too.” Lin Yin said.

Shen Yanhu walked over with a smile after hearing the commotion. He crossed his arms and was prepared for a good showdown.

Chen Zhiqi waved her wrist, and the tip of the wooden sword immediately pointed at Chu Lingjun. “Are you ready?”

“Alright, come at me.”

“Okay!” Chen Zhiqi’s face tensed up as her wrist sharply flicked. She suddenly stepped forward and stabbed her opponent, the tip of the sword pointing straight at Chu Lingjun’s chest.

Chen Zhiqi, who had instantly entered her focused state, exuded a different kind of temperament.

Seeing Chen Zhiqi’s sudden and rapid attack, Chu Lingjun gently took a step to the left and easily deflected Chen Zhiqi’s attack.

Chen Zhiqi’s pupils constricted slightly. With her rich experience, she quickly changed her technique. She turned from a stab to a horizontal slash. The blade whistled and continued to slash at Chu Lingjun’s chest.

Chu Lingjun smiled, but he seemed to expect Chen Zhiqi’s sword path and the order of her attacks.

The moment Chen Zhiqi changed her move, her body quickly leaned back, and the tip of her sword once again brushed past Chu Lingjun’s chest.

After easily dodging the attack twice in a row, the surrounding onlookers were stunned.

Was there something wrong with her style of fighting?

Wasn’t this a fight between a warrior and an esper? Shouldn’t one be desperately attacking while the other is desperately casting spells to dodge?

Why did it seem that Chu Lingjun was more like a warrior than Chen Zhiqi?

In the middle of the arena, Chen Zhiqi’s pink cheeks suddenly turned red.

She let out a frustrated growl and raised her sword to attack Chu Lingjun again!

The wooden sword transformed into a circle of sword shadows that enveloped Chu Lingjun’s entire body!

However, Chu Lingjun swiftly dodged every attack. It was as if his body could sense every move as he dodged all of Chen Zhiqi’s sword moves!

At this moment, Chu Lingjun was like the most slippery loach in the world. No matter how she advanced with her attacks, Chu Lingjun dodged them one by one.

This strange scene immediately made everyone dumbfounded. Everyone’s jaws were about to fall to the ground.

Even the homeroom teacher, Shen Yanhu, who was watching the show with his arms crossed, was also frozen.

“Damn it, how about this?!”

Chen Zhiqi’s mentality broke as she continuously slashed hundreds of times aggressively, but failed to land a single hit!

She strode forward, and her aura changed again!

The essence in her body suddenly surged wildly like a roaring torrent!

Chen Zhiqi seemed to have activated a powerful secret technique. As her blood boiled, her speed suddenly doubled. She turned into a flash and shot toward Chu Lingjun!

The wooden sword in her hand carried an indomitable and sharp aura that planned to pierce through all obstacles in front of her!

Chu Lingjun’s expression changed. He did not expect Chen Zhiqi to be able to unleash such a powerful sword move.

Fortunately, although the sword technique was powerful, it was meaningless if it couldn’t pierce the target.

Under the observation of the Electric Field skill he had, the moment Chen Zhiqi mobilized her muscles and pumped up her vitality, Chu Lingjun the angle and direction of Chen Zhiqi’s attack.

Chu Lingjun’s heart was beating wildly from the adrenaline. His body quickly dodged to the side, avoiding Chen Zhiqi’s incomparably sharp sword!

Chu Lingjun dodged it well.

On the other hand, Chen Zhiqi could not handle this terrifying surge of power!

The surging blood suddenly stopped and slowed down in a short period of time. Chen Zhiqi’s body was drained. She felt dizzy and her feet trembled, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.

At this moment, a broad figure rushed over and hugged Chen Zhiqi!

This person was Chu Lingjun!

“You…”

At this moment, under the side effects of the secret technique, Chen Zhiqi’s blood was boiling and her heart was palpitating. She looked at the face and broad chest in front of her and flushed red.

“What an exciting match.” Shen Yanhu clapped and walked over.

The students were shocked and horrified by the outcome.

Chen Zhiqi had the second highest martial arts cultivation in the class. The first was Ding Peng.

As for Chen Zhiqi, she had practiced swordsmanship since she was young. Her sword moves were sharp and fierce, but even so, she still lost to Chu Lingjun!

This was truly unbelievable!

“Chu Lingjun, I want to give it a try!” At this moment, a loud and clear voice sounded. It was Ding Peng, who was watching the competition from the side and was also eager to test out his power with Chu Lingjun.

“Alright.” Chu Lingjun did not refuse. He smiled and placed Chen Zhiqi on the seat beside him.

Chen Zhiqi pursed her lips and sat weakly on the chair. However, she looked at Chu Lingjun with a dull gaze. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from her previous failure.

Chu Lingjun and Ding Peng’s sparring soon began, but the outcome was the same.

Ding Peng had almost followed Chen Zhiqi’s old path. He kept swinging his fists fiercely, but he never once came into contact with Chu Lingjuns. He was extremely depressed.

After dodging dozens of punches in a row, the big guy roared angrily, “Ah, I’m not fighting anymore!”

Chu Lingjun smiled and returned to the team.

“How did you do that? Do you have eyes on your back?”

“Chu Lingjun, you’re amazing! From today onwards, you have gained a loyal follower!”

“Teach me how to fight! I want to become as powerful as you…”

The students immediately surrounded Chu Lingjun and asked him for advice.

Chu Lingjun could only reply apologetically. This was a superpower that belonged to him. He could not make it public, nor could he teach it to others.

Everyone left in disappointment.

As mentioned before, because of the special characteristics of superhumans, every superhuman would keep their abilities a secret to gain an advantage over their peers.

After all, the difficulty level of the battle might change if the enemy knew your weaknesses.

Therefore, everyone could only accept Chu Lingjun’s words resentfully.

“Well done. Your growth and progress have exceeded my expectations. You have to perform well in the monthly exam at the beginning of next month and prove your strength to the rest of the students!” Shen Yanhu walked over and praised Chu Lingjun.

“Yes, sir. I will try my best.”
