Martial Arts Secret Realm: Only I Can Know the Plot?

Monthly test.

All the students from each class arrived at the training ground.

Even the teachers, who usually have a very low profile at the Dark Martial Arts School, were all present.

For the new students of the Dark Martial Arts Academy, the first two monthly exams are very important.

The first time, prove your potential; the second time, prove your speed of progress.

Whether they can gain the favor of some teachers and thus receive private training and preferential treatment in these two instances is particularly crucial.

There seemed to be an unusually large number of teachers present this time.

However, their expressions seemed very somber, with little sign of a smile.

Perhaps because the university division of the Dark Martial Arts School has performed poorly in the senior competitions in the past two years, many people are now starting to oppose their toxic training methods.

In particular, that person's cultivation has stagnated, and he has been unable to ascend to the throne, leaving the Dark Martial Arts School without a true representative.

As the deadlines for the monthly exams approached, Old Qin, who was in charge of the monthly exams, nodded, indicating that the exams were about to begin.

As soon as he sat down, Old Zhang leaned over to him.

"Old Qin, I heard that the principal has declared that we must cultivate another champion within five years, or all our resources will be reduced?"

Old Qin frowned: "This is just a preliminary idea. The specific details of the plan and how the work should proceed still need to be considered."

Old Zhang waved his hand: "Alright, stop trying to fool me. I heard the principal has set quotas this time. In-service teachers are not allowed to be absent without a position. At least one promising teacher must be selected and trained each year, and the salary and benefits of the trained teacher will be directly linked to their position."

"However, no matter how much we nurture these promising youngsters, it's too late. We mainly need to focus on the third-year students."

"However, most of the third-year students are already taken. Sigh, I'm afraid the second-year students won't be up to the task."

Old Qin remained silent.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Old Zhang stopped trying to make a fool of himself and began to concentrate on watching the competition.

The rules for the monthly exams are that students take turns challenging each other, starting from the lowest to the highest level within their class.

Because Sun Fan was tricked into becoming the class monitor during the last competition, his actual combat strength was consistently ranked last among all the class monitors.

Therefore, Sun Fan's Class 5 ranked last.

The first question the teacher conducting the monthly exam asked them was: "Class 5, do you have any challenging goals?"

Sun Fan immediately stepped forward: "Teacher, we're going to challenge Class 8."

The onlookers immediately began to whisper among themselves.

News of Sun Fan's extraordinary encounter in the secret realm had already spread among the students, but many teachers who usually stayed at home and didn't care much about the students were still unaware of this news.

In their view, skipping nine rounds and directly challenging Class 9, which was previously ranked third, seemed somewhat reckless.

Old Zhang, however, was very happy.

The third-grade student, Fierce Tiger, was a student of his old rival, Yao. In terms of students, he had always been outdone by Yao.

The principal's reforms, which further emphasized the importance of students, made him feel even more threatened.

Unfortunately, the Dark Martial Arts School has a clear rule that teachers are strictly prohibited from attacking students in any way.

The Dark Martial Arts School has few rules, but they are very strict.

Given his students' current skill level, it would be quite difficult for them to defeat the ferocious tiger.

However, it seems not so bad to see the tiger's younger brother get his comeuppance.

He still thinks highly of Sun Fan.

After receiving Sun Fan's challenge, the teacher in charge of the monthly exam turned to Class 8 and asked, "Class 8 monitor, Yan Gaojiang, will you accept the challenge? If you decline, the order of victory will be reversed; if you accept, the winning order will remain unchanged, and you will have the right to rest once."

Yan Gaojiang gave Sun Fan a sinister look, said nothing more, and simply stepped forward to reply, "I accept the challenge."

The host nodded: "Okay, then both sides confirm the order of appearance."

Class 8 returned to the preparation area.

Sun Fan, however, walked straight onto the arena.

Yan Gaojiang, who had just returned to the preparation seat, saw Sun Fan standing calmly on the stage and his blood boiled instantly.

This is a blatant provocation, clearly showing that they don't take Class 8 seriously.

This move not only shocked the audience, but even Red Wolf and Iron Fist were somewhat at a loss.

Before they arrived, they hadn't discussed any tactics at all.

They had no idea what Sun Fan was really up to.

"Our class monitor is being incredibly reckless! How are we supposed to make our entrance now?"

Du Ming was cautious by nature, and he wanted to ask for other people's opinions. When he turned his gaze to Mu Xue and saw her timid appearance, he sighed.

Mu Xue is definitely out of the question.

He then turned his gaze to Scarface.

Logically speaking, according to the KOF tournament format, Class 5 should have sent Scarface to the match. Firstly, Sun Fan gave him a very high status, but he never showed his strength in public.

A battle is exactly what we need to convince the people.

But for some reason, Sun Fan did not arrange for Scarface to play.

However, at this point, it was still necessary to discuss it with him. So Du Ming pulled Red Wolf forward and asked, "Brother Hai, why did Brother Sun just go up there? What do you think is the best order for us to go?"

Du Ming was surprised to see a hint of a smile on the scarred man's狰狞 face.

He swore it wasn't an illusion; it was the first time he'd seen a smile on this man's face.

Scarface shook his head and said, "It's not important anymore."

What does "it's not important" mean? Does he mean that this class ranking competition is unimportant?

Are you kidding me? This ranking competition is even more grand than the one at the beginning of the semester.

It's not just about resource allocation; it even involves the issue of apprenticeship.

In the dark world of martial arts schools, having a master and not having one are worlds apart.

With a master, you have a powerful backer, and no one will dare to easily cripple you.

Moreover, having a master means having fellow disciples. In the path of martial arts, there are people to spar with and verify knowledge with, and people to answer questions. The importance of these is self-evident.

Right now is their best chance to shine, but he says it's not important.

The hot-tempered Red Wolf was about to ask for an explanation, but Iron Fist pulled him back.

He looked at Du Ming, whose expression was complicated, and asked in confusion, "Why did you pull me?"

A hint of bitterness flickered across Du Ming's face: "Indeed, it doesn't matter anymore."

He randomly filled in a sequence and handed it to the teacher, then quietly returned to his seat.

Even the slow-witted Red Wolf on the bench realized what was happening.

He looked at Du Ming with disbelief and asked, "Could it be that he's planning to take on all three of them?"

Du Ming nodded.

Indeed, if Sun Fan had planned to defeat all three opponents from the beginning, then the order of Class 5 would not have mattered.

Red Wolf wanted to mock Sun Fan's arrogance, but then he suddenly remembered that sword strike.

Bitterness slowly crept onto his face.
