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

Sun Fan looked away.

He knew that a battle between him and Yan Gaotian was inevitable, but not now.

He then asked Dong Dahai, "What about the second year? Are there no outstanding individuals in the second year?"

Dong Dahai thought for a moment and said, "The second year is a bit lacking overall."

"Among them, the strongest should be Luo Yong."

"His strength has reached, or even surpassed, the level of the Five Tiger Generals. There are rumors that he can consistently gain the upper hand in private sparring sessions with Smiling Tiger."

"Last year, at the end of the semester, after the previous senior students left school, he challenged the second-year students, and the one he challenged was none other than Ximen Lianfeng, one of the Five Tigers."

"He himself narrowly lost to Binghu in every move, and his subordinates were far inferior to Binghu in strength, which made the scene rather ugly."

Sun Fan then asked, "So, there's never been a case of a lower-grade student defeating an upper-grade student and achieving an upset at Dark Martial Arts School?"

The sea was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"The reason why it's generally difficult for lower-grade students to overthrow higher-grade students is that when faced with a challenge from a lower-grade student, the upper-grade students will band together. If they believe that your strength poses a threat to the upper-grade students, they will provide some assistance to the upper-grade members, or simply avoid the fight and let the lower-grade students find another challenger."

"Furthermore, while there may be geniuses who can pull off upsets, the KOF tournament format ensures a minimum standard for upperclassmen. Their executives usually outbid lowerclassmen, so they rarely suffer upsets."

"As far as I know, only two people in the current third grade have ever succeeded."

"One was a pop diva, and the gun king at the time was one of her subordinates."

"And the other person"

"He is a demon king outside of reason."

Sun Fan raised his eyebrows.

The Demon King Beyond the Scriptures?

What's going on? Didn't Da Hai just say that the ten strongest forces were the Empress, the Four Kings, and the Five Tiger Generals? How come another Demon King has appeared?

Seemingly sensing Sun Fan's confusion, Da Hai paused, as if organizing his thoughts.

"The reason this demon king wasn't ranked among the top ten powers is that he's an extremely rare lone wolf, always working alone."

"His rise to prominence has been hailed as the greatest miracle of the Dark Martial Arts School in the past decade."

"You might find it hard to believe, but for a long time after he first enrolled, he was a 'meat person' (a person who is physically immobile)."

He spent his first year unremarkable until the middle of his second year, when a major event occurred.

"His only friend at the martial arts school, another weakling, was crippled for arguing with a senior student leader from the previous year."

"Logically speaking, in this kind of situation, the class leaders should step forward."

"But their cadres didn't dare, and even their squad leader didn't dare to say a word."

"Perhaps in their eyes, he was just a weakling in the class; being crippled was no big deal."

"You know, the situation was different between the previous third grade and this year's competition. Last year, one school dominated."

"After the queen successfully overthrew the leader, Luo Wentian, the leader of their class, was furious. He felt that small factions had no reason to exist, so he directly challenged most of the class leaders, leaving only their family in the end."

"Just when no one dared to utter a sound, no one dared to step forward, a fleshy man stood up."

He stood at the entrance of the Wentian Society for a day and a night.

"Not a single member of the Wentian Society can even leave their own office."

"Until Luo Wentian returned, Luo Wentian didn't want to take advantage and wanted to schedule another time for the competition."

The Demon King said no.

Feeling humiliated, Luo Wentian immediately flew into a rage and fought a fierce battle with the Demon King.

"The Demon King is standing at the very end."

"From then on, he was classified as an outsider, and some people said that his strength even surpassed that of Ye Liuxing, who was in the same grade."

"This is also the biggest miracle of the Dark Martial Arts Academy. After all, other well-known masters had already made a name for themselves in their first year."

At this point, Dong Dahai seemed to want to say something.

Sun Fan also noticed Da Hai's hesitation.

"Da Hai, given our friendship, you can speak frankly with me."

"Sun Fan, if you really want to reach the top of the martial arts school, having good leadership is very important."

"The Demon King is a once-in-a-decade talent; not just anyone can become one."

Sun Fan smiled and suddenly asked, "What's the Demon King's name?"

Da Hai paused for a moment, then said, "His name is Liu Xian."

"He looks like an ordinary person."

While the two were chatting, the lower-ranked classes had already finished their challenges.

Zhao Cheng was very satisfied; everything was unfolding according to his plan.

It seems the reputation of the ferocious tiger does have some effect.

He only needs to wait for Sun Fan to defeat that woman before he can defeat Sun Fan.

The position of the top student in the first year will be taken by Zhao Cheng.

He kept a close eye on Lian Youyou's expression, but she didn't even glance at him.

Her gaze remained fixed on Sun Fan.

As if sensing that cold gaze, Sun Fan also looked in that direction.

Her narrow, almond-shaped eyes held a scrutinizing quality, with a beauty mark at the corner of her left eye. Her hair was loosely tied back with a red string, and a few stray strands fell to the side of her neck.

When still, she resembles a lady in an ancient painting, but the way she twirls the brush with her fingertips reveals her sharp and fierce nature.

When looking at people, he habitually raises his chin slightly, and the shadow cast by his eyelashes just covers his eyes.

I don't think I know her.

Sun Fan frowned slightly.

He wasn't used to being scrutinized like that.

But he seemed to have already guessed who the other person was.

In first grade, the only one who dared to look at me like that was a woman, an extremely beautiful woman.

Perhaps there is only one.

The top scorer in the monthly examination—Lian Youyou.

Lian Youyou scrutinized Sun Fan, her thoughts churning.

Before the monthly examination began, the Empress's words still echoed in my ears.

"Youyou, according to the information I've received, your position as the top scorer in this month's exam might be in danger."

Lian Youyou knew who the Empress was referring to.

A lucky kid.

But she was unwilling to give up her position so easily.

"However, you still have a chance this time."

"Zhao Cheng has been bribed by the fierce tiger. He plans to challenge Sun Fan after Sun Fan challenges you. If he succeeds, he will reach the top."

"They thought they had done something flawless, but this very operation gave you the opportunity."

"I've already made arrangements. During the monthly exam, the class monitor of the fourth-ranked class will challenge you."

"If you deliberately lose to him, your ranking will drop to fourth."

"Next up is Sun Fan, who is third in line. He doesn't care who the champion is; he will only challenge the champion."

"After he succeeded in his challenge, even though Zhao Cheng knew there was a problem, he had no choice but to continue challenging Sun Fan."

"At that time, regardless of who wins, you can use your status as the previous champion to launch a revenge challenge."

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."

"Perhaps this is your only way to defeat Sun Fan."

Lian Youyou knew that the Empress Dowager meant well, but her words were like a whip lashing at her face, making her dignity burn like fire.

She turned to the diva with a sense of resentment and asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "Facing Sun Fan, do I really have absolutely no chance?"

The diva remained silent for a moment.

"If he were in perfect condition..."

The diva paused for a moment

"No, not a single one."
