Challenger No. 3 finally stepped forward.
He was the oldest of all the challengers today, already thirty-three years old. Of course, his strength was also the greatest among them.
Ranked 209.
It could be said he was infinitely close to a B-level rating.
But because of his advanced age, he had opted for a safe and steady approach by challenging Gao Neng.
However, the current situation was...
Not so steady after all!
"Gao Neng, in your previous fights... were you hiding your true strength?" Challenger No. 3 asked, his lips trembling, forgoing an imdiate self-introduction.
"No." Gao Neng shook his head.
He wasn’t an idiot.
He didn’t like doing things that would provoke public anger.
"Then why did you suddenly get so much stronger?" Challenger No. 3 was clearly unconvinced. He was certain Gao Neng must have been hiding his strength.
"An epiphany," Gao Neng said with a smile.
"An epiphany?! What was your epiphany about?"
"My epiphany was about a single slash."
"A single slash?"
"That’s right. This very slash!" As soon as the words left Gao Neng’s mouth, his saber was unsheathed.
His Spiritual Power transford into the Soul Saber.
The saber in his hand and the Soul Saber rged into one.
Overlapping in mid-air.
In terms of pure physical damage, this slash was no different from Gao Neng’s previous ones. However, the true terror of this attack wasn’t its physical lethality.
It was the Spiritual Power damage!
As long as an opponent’s Spiritual Power wasn’t stronger than his, they basically stood no chance of resisting it.
"Ah, I wasn’t done asking my questions!" Challenger No. 3 was indignant. He had painstakingly scraped together 100 million, thinking he’d be able to snag an easy win.
Instead, he’d slamd into an iron plate.
But it was too late for regrets.
His strength was indeed the greatest among the challengers, but he had only just begun to perceive Spiritual Power. Compared to Gao Neng, the difference was like heaven and earth.
BOOM!
Challenger No. 3 was sent flying.
It was the sa One Slash as before.
Three slashes for three n.
Every person struck down to the ground looked dazed, their eyes vacant. They seed to have fallen into a stupor, completely unable to get back up.
...
Silence. Everyone was silent.
Whether it was the challengers, the reporters, or the students of the Eastern Capital Military Academy, everyone watching Challenger No. 3 get sent flying felt as if they couldn’t breathe.
Too strong!
This wasn’t a fight between opponents on the sa level!
But the fact was, Gao Neng was at the Tier Five Early Stage. He had only just broken through yesterday. It was absolutely impossible for him to have broken through to another realm in a single day.
So what was going on right now?
How could a Tier Five be this powerful?
’...’ Zhang Hongying was asking herself the sa question, because Gao Neng’s power had already exceeded the bounds of normality.
A Tier Five could fight a Tier Six.
That wasn’t a problem.
Many geniuses in the Federation could do it.
But a Tier Five insta-killing a Tier Six was a bit of an exaggeration.
’Is it because Gao Neng broke the Fourth Human Limit? Breaking the Fourth Human Limit gives him strength exceeding a Tier Six, and when you add his powerful Spiritual Power on top of that... is that how he’s able to do this?’
That was the only explanation Zhang Hongying could co up with.
In the crowd.
Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing exchanged a look. They didn’t speak, but they both understood that they were no longer in the sa league as Gao Neng.
And it wasn’t just Gao Neng.
They couldn’t even hope to catch up to Fang Tangtang.
Just one trip to the battlefield...
Back when it was ti to go to the battlefield, Fang Tangtang had sought them out, but the two of them refused because of the Eastern Capital Military Academy’s school rules.
As a result, when Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang returned from the battlefield, the world had changed.
Once an opportunity is missed, it’s lost forever.
"Sigh..." Kong Kun let out a breath.
anwhile, Feng Qingqing was staring blankly at Gao Neng, her mind replaying the mory of when he first entered the Eastern Capital Military Academy. At that ti, Gao Neng had just been at the Tier One Early Stage, while she was a Tier Two.
A whole realm of difference.
And then, she got beaten!
He punched her hard in the chest!
Of course, that wasn’t the point. The point was, how could soone’s progress be this fast?
"Next, Challenger No. 4!" Fang Tangtang’s voice interrupted Feng Qingqing’s reminiscence, drawing her gaze back to the field.
Gao Neng was sheathing his saber and scanning his surroundings.
The ground was dripping with fresh blood.
The challengers, who had once been scrambling to be first, were now just looking at each other, all of them like ants on a hot pan.
’This plot has gone completely off the rails!’
Gao Neng had gotten stronger!
So much stronger than before.
One slash, one Tier Six!
How were they supposed to fight this?!
"I... forfeit..." Challenger No. 4 stepped forward. His strength was even less than No. 3’s. Going up to fight was no different from suicide.
"Forfeit? Are you sure you want to forfeit?" Fang Tangtang confird.
"Yes... I forfeit!" Challenger No. 4 gritted his teeth.
"You can forfeit, but you’re not getting your money back," Fang Tangtang said, getting to the point.
"Why can’t I get a refund? Even half would be fine!" Challenger No. 4 actually understood perfectly well that since this was a bet, getting the money back was basically impossible.
But this was 100 million.
There was no harm in trying to argue for it.
"Right, right, right, half back for forfeiting!" another challenger imdiately piped up.
"We all forfeit! Give us half back. Out of the 100 million, just refund 50 million," the other challengers chid in one after another.
"You guys are so naive. You’re the ones forfeiting, and now you’re crying for a refund. The entire Federation is watching. Have you no sha?" Fang Tangtang didn’t even need to wait for Gao Neng to speak.
In fact, when Gao Neng had collected the money in advance, she had already guessed what he was up to. He was leaving these challengers with no way out.
The challengers fell silent.
They knew, of course, that according to the rules, the money couldn’t be refunded.
But the problem was...
They hadn’t even fought yet.
"If you want to fight, then fight. If you want your money back, no way! No. 4, it’s your turn. Are you going to fight or not? If you say you’ll fight now, we can give you another chance," Fang Tangtang said bluntly.
"Forget it." Challenger No. 4 shook his head.
Three challengers were currently lying on the ground, all with dazed expressions.
If he went up there, the result would be the sa as theirs.
Without another word, Challenger No. 4 turned and left. He didn’t have the face to stay here any longer.
"No. 4 is gone. What about No. 5?" Fang Tangtang asked again.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts..." No. 5 turned and walked away, not even bothering to say he forfeited.
"What about No. 6?" Fang Tangtang’s gaze shifted to Challenger No. 6.
"You’re sure about no refunds?" Challenger No. 6 clenched his fists.
"Positive."
"Fine, then I’m leaving!"
...
The surrounding reporters were speechless.
They had all gotten ready and raised their caras again, but this No. 6 offered no surprises at all, despite putting on an act like he was about to risk it all.
"I’ll fight!" Challenger No. 7 stepped forward. "I’ve already paid the money anyway. I won’t be satisfied if I don’t at least fight once! I refuse to believe you can keep using a powerful move like that indefinitely!"
"Oh? Are you sure?" Fang Tangtang was a little surprised.
"Of course!"
"Alright, begin!"
BOOM!
No. 7 was sent flying.
Just like No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 before him.
No. 7 crashed to the ground, his face completely dazed, and his wounds identical to the others.
...
No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10 glanced at one another.
They were also unwilling to accept this.
But the problem was, Gao Neng didn’t look exhausted in the slightest. His face was ruddy, and his gaze was sharp.
Exhaustion? Not a chance!
"I forfeit!"
"The green mountains don’t change, and the clear waters flow forever!"
"Although I forfeit today, it doesn’t an I’m afraid of you, Gao Neng! One day, I will challenge you again! When that ti cos, I hope you won’t back down!"
After speaking, the three challengers turned and left.
And with that, the challenges at the gates of the Eastern Capital Military Academy officially ca to an end.
Across the entire Federation, the audience watching this great battle on television and online were all in shock, unable to recover for a long ti.
This battle had truly been too unexpected.
They had originally thought that today would be the day Gao Neng fell from the top 200 of the Dragon List.
But instead, Gao Neng had accepted the challenges of ten people the mont he appeared, and then proceeded to crush them with overwhelming power, even forcing several challengers to forfeit outright.
How domineering!
RING RING RING! Zhang Hongying’s phone rang.
"Team Leader Zhang, you’re at the gates of the Eastern Capital Military Academy, right? Gao Neng defeated four people in a row today. How should we rate him?" a voice on the other end asked.
Zhang Hongying fell silent.
Indeed, based on his battle record, although Gao Neng had defeated four people in one go, none of those four were ranked in the top 200 of the Dragon List.
Normally, Gao Neng’s rank should have remained unchanged.
After all, these were one-on-one battles.
It wasn’t as spectacular as Lin Ying’s battle, where he took on five opponents at once.
But Zhang Hongying knew.
Gao Neng’s strength had long since surpassed the top 200 of the Dragon List.
"Team Leader Zhang?" the voice on the phone asked again.
"Dragon List rank 99. Rating: A!" Hearing the voice on the phone again, Zhang Hongying finally gritted her teeth and replied.
"What?! Dragon List rank 99? That’s... Understood! Updating imdiately!" The voice on the phone was clearly filled with astonishnt.
But soon, the person on the other end seed to understand.
Although Gao Neng was only being challenged...
...he was taking down a Tier Six with every slash.
That kind of strength definitely put him in the top 100 of the Dragon List.
An A-rating was not excessive.
But on second thought, this rank and rating were terrifying, because Gao Neng was the only person to have entered the top 100 of the Dragon List with the strength of a Tier Five.
The one and only in the entire Federation!
"Gao Neng, look, your rank has been updated! Dragon List rank 99, rating: A! It’s an A, hahaha! You’re really sothing else now!" Fang Tangtang’s phone was set up with notifications, so she received an alert as soon as the Dragon List was updated and naturally saw the new ranking imdiately.
"What idiot gave this rating? I’m this amazing, and they only put at number 99 on the Dragon List? And just an A-rating?" Gao Neng glanced at the ranking, extrely dissatisfied.
’I’m a Tier Five who can One Slash a Tier Six.’
’And they didn’t even give an S-rating? Are they blind?’
"Is he cursing ?" Zhang Hongying’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Gao Neng. Then, she walked over to him. "Hello, Gao Neng. I am Zhang Yinghong, Team Leader of Group 2 of the Federation Governnt’s Dragon List Specialist Group. I’m the one who decided your ranking. Is there a problem?"
