The strength is the sum of the whole class, and he is promoted to the Grandmaster level at the beginning.

16: It’s just an honest revenge on you“There’s no need to waste it on him.”

Yu Xiu tossed the necklace back. At this moment, the Principal of No. 2 High School’s fist was already close.

Yu Xiu merely smiled faintly, then casually raised his hand and grasped the Principal of No. 2 High School’s fist.

“Indeed, this kid has the strength of a Great Grandmaster. He truly is a Prodigy!”

Although the mayor and Chairman Liu had already suspected it, seeing Yu Xiu effortlessly block the Principal of No. 2 High School’s attack with a raised hand, their mouths couldn’t help but twitch.

A sixteen-year-old Great Grandmaster.

He was simply terrifying.

“I’m very curious, for a Prodigy Genius like Yu Xiu, wouldn’t it be better to keep his trump cards hidden? Why insist on exposing him?”

Chairman Liu looked puzzled.

“Alas, I didn’t want to either, but news came from home that the ruins are about to open again.”

“If our Jiangtan City doesn’t have someone to hold the fort, we won’t even get a single spot.”

“At that time, Jiangtan City, having lost its resources, will only fall further behind other cities.”

“Do you want Jiangtan City to follow in the footsteps of Jiangyan City and be merged by other cities?”

Chairman Liu’s expression was solemn. “Are you sure the news is accurate?”

“Absolutely accurate!”

“If that’s truly the case, I’m afraid this Genius Training Camp will be even more intense, and the conflicts between cities will escalate.”

Chairman Liu sighed, “If my predictions are correct, people will die in this Genius Training Camp, and many will die.”

“Should we remove those in the Pre-selection class to prevent them from going in to their deaths?”

The mayor shook his head, “It’s useless. The matter of the ruins is already a secret, unheard of by the common people. If we do that, it might cause chaos.”

“The Dao of Martial Arts is inherently a path of overcoming obstacles. Once chosen, one must be prepared for death. Perhaps we are merely making these students Face the cruelty of the Martial Arts struggle earlier.”

Chairman Liu said, “So you want Yu Xiu to become the leader of Jiangtan City, and at the same time, have him attract the attention of many Geniuses?”

The mayor nodded, “If it were anyone else, I would absolutely not do this, because doing so would be sending him to his death.”

“But Yu Xiu is different. A sixteen-year-old Great Grandmaster, do you still lack confidence?”

Chairman Liu grinned, “Want to make a bet? Bet on when Yu Xiu will Breakthrough to Martial Venerable?”

“Martial Venerable? You really dare to think big.” The mayor said with a bitter smile, “We were both Nine-Star Grandmasters twenty years ago, and after so many years, we are still Nine-Star Grandmasters. You should know how difficult it is to Breakthrough to Martial Venerable, right!”

Chairman Liu chuckled, “It’s difficult for us, or perhaps we’ll never have the chance to Breakthrough to Martial Venerable in this lifetime.”

“But shouldn’t you think about what strength we had at sixteen?”

The mayor laughed, “At sixteen, I was a sixth-rank Martial Artist, and you were probably similar.”

“Exactly! So, things that are very difficult for us might not be an issue for Yu Xiu at all.” Chairman Liu asked, “Are you going to bet or not?”

“I’ll bet. I bet Yu Xiu can Breakthrough to Martial Venerable within five years.” the mayor said.

“I bet one year!”

Chairman Liu grinned, “If you lose, marry your daughter to my son.”

“You wish! My daughter is a Huaxia University mentor. Is your son worthy?”

“Whether he’s worthy or not isn’t for you to say. The two young people should talk it over themselves. Just tell me, will you agree or not?”

“I can agree, but if you lose, what will you lose to me?”

“I’ll lose you that treasure of mine. You’ve been eyeing it for over ten years anyway.”

“Deal!”

After the two reached an agreement, their gazes once again turned to Yu Xiu’s side. At this moment, the Principal of No. 2 High School was already sprawled on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Neither of them was surprised by this.

Instead, the teachers and students present, as well as the principals on the high platform, were dumbfounded.

“Am I seeing things? The Principal of No. 2 High School is a Nine-Star Grandmaster, and he was just effortlessly defeated by Yu Xiu? So what’s his strength?”

“Are you stupid? For Yu Xiu to effortlessly defeat a Nine-Star Grandmaster, he must at least be a Great Grandmaster.”

“No, are you sure Yu Xiu is the same age as us, both third-year high school students, and not some old monster in human skin?”

“Holy crap, no wonder No. 1 High School internally designated him as the first place in the selection competition. With this strength, even the principal is no match!”

As everyone discussed, Yang Duling, Xiao Wan, Zhuang Wenya, and Xiao Ruoyu in the crowd all displayed various expressions.

“How could he be a Great Grandmaster?”

The thoughts of several people were consistent, but their facial expressions differed.

Yang Duling’s expression was complex.

Zhuang Wenya was excited.

Xiao Ruoyu was panicked.

Xiao Wan, on the other hand, was bewildered.

“You should be glad this is No. 1 High School. If it were anywhere else, I would kill you.”

Yu Xiu turned away from the Principal of No. 2 High School and looked at the unconscious Chen Kai. At this moment, all of his bones were broken.

With current medical technology, it could be repaired, but there was no hope of practicing Martial Arts in this lifetime.

“From now on, I don’t want any school to admit Chen Kai again.”

Yu Xiu’s casual remark directly sentenced Chen Kai to death.

Not being able to attend high school meant losing the opportunity to participate in the Martial Arts exam.

Although Chen Kai’s family had some influence, without strength to support it, it would gradually decline.

Moreover, with the existence of Yu Xiu, this great deity, it was unlikely anyone in Jiangtan City would dare to have any connection with Chen Kai’s family.

Because what was terrifying was not a Great Grandmaster, but a sixteen-year-old Great Grandmaster.

“TheArena competition continues!”

After Yu Xiu’s faint remark, he said no more, but stood quietly in place.

Meanwhile, the host teacher motioned for people to carry Chen Kai and the Principal of No. 2 High School away.

Chen Kai was truly unconscious.

The Principal of No. 2 High School was feigning unconsciousness.

Firstly, he was too ashamed to wake up, and secondly, he was afraid Yu Xiu would trouble him again.

Now he finally understood.

It turned out the mayor had no grudge against Yu Xiu; rather, the mayor knew Yu Xiu’s strength.

“TheArena competition continues!”

The host teacher repeated, but the students present looked at each other, glancing at Yu Xiu intentionally or unintentionally, yet no one made a move.

What a joke of aArena competition!

With this great deity here, all the rewards would ultimately belong to No. 1 High School anyway.

They had already lost their motivation.

More than that, they had lost their fighting spirit.

Mainly, the stimulation and pressure Yu Xiu gave them were too strong.

“Now I announce that the first place in thisArena competition goes to No. 1 High School and Yu Xiu.”

At this moment, the mayor stood up and said, “Yu Xiu will participate in the next competition, and the rest of you will continue. The top ten still have rewards.”

“Yu Xiu, you can step down!”

Yu Xiu said, “Mayor, I have one more request.”

“What request?”

“I want to spar with the Principal of Seventh High School. I’ll step down after we spar.”

Upon hearing this, the Principal of Seventh High School saw Yu Xiu’s half-smiling expression and couldn’t help but curse inwardly, “This bastard is really vengeful.”

“Forget it, it’s just a beating anyway. Since the Principal of No. 2 High School went first, I won’t lose too much Face. It’s only right for a Nine-Star Grandmaster to lose to a Great Grandmaster!”

The mayor’s eyes held a smile as he looked at the Principal of Seventh High School and asked, “What do you think?”

“I agree to spar!”

The Principal of Seventh High School was very helpless. He knew this beating was unavoidable and could not be avoided.

With Yu Xiu’s vengeful nature, if he avoided it now, he wouldn’t be able to avoid it later.

Here, it might just be a beating, albeit a heavier one.

If he left here and Yu Xiu retaliated in private, his own life might be in danger.

“You’re smart!”

Yu Xiu replied to the Principal of Seventh High School with lip-reading.
