After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan silently walked to a stop a hundred meters away from Lin Lei.

……

In the audience seating area.

Lin Anru walked up to Leng Qing, who asked in a low voice.

"This is Zhou Yan?"

Lin'an was as cheerful as a local.

"Yes, a stinky monkey who doesn't know his place?"

The upperclassmen around them were amused and chuckled quietly.

P.S.: This is a little fox in human form.

Chapter Nine Perfect

The laughter of the top students gradually subsided.

After the laughter subsided, the top student, Leng Qing, wearing a mask, asked.

"I've seen the video of you fighting Zhou Yan, Xiao An."

Lin Anru's expression was somewhat unnatural.

Leng Qing said to herself.

"In that video, the kid's fighting ability is not much different from yours, but yesterday Lin Lei fought with the kid, and it seems that the kid can go toe-to-toe with Lin Lei."

Lin Lei's physical abilities are more than five times better than Lin An's. This five-fold difference should result in an instant kill, but Zhou Yan is able to fight Lin Lei to a standstill.

This is not normal.

Very, very, very abnormal.

A demigod student in sportswear spoke up.

"It's nothing. Zhou Yan doesn't seem to be a combat-type demigod, while Lin Lei is practically born for battle."

The other demigod students nodded in agreement.

The Eastern Xia Federation has eighty-seven states. On average, each state has no more than five demigod-level awakeners. Therefore, each demigod awakener is a truly top talent, a big shot that the leaders of each state must cherish and take care of.

These important figures are not distinguished by their combat power. For example, Dang Kang, a demigod awakener in Dayu Prefecture, has little combat power, but he can ensure that the crops in Dayu Prefecture have a bumper harvest year after year, and the local people have no worries about food and drink.

There is also the demigod Fuzhu of Daliang Prefecture, who can control water flow, purify water sources, and ensure that the entire prefecture has no shortage of water.

Demigod awakeners all have inclinations, and Linley's Yazi bloodline is purely combat-oriented.

Zhou Yan did not demonstrate much combat prowess; when fighting Lin Anru, he only used one move to exploit a weakness from beginning to end.

If this algorithm continues, Zhou Yan has no reason to be a match for Lin Lei.

One of the students, an awakened member of the Huodou bloodline, chuckled.

"I hope Lin Lei can play a little longer and have some fun with this freshman. It would be no fun if it ended too quickly."

"Another demigod student said unhappily."

"What do you mean it's boring? I bet half a month's allowance on Lin Lei beating this kid in ten seconds. Are you telling me I have to eat dirt for the next two weeks?"

The other students echoed this sentiment.

"What's wrong with eating dirt? These days, isn't eating sea mud supposed to help you lose weight?"

"You're so greedy! I bet on Lin Lei to win, and you actually bet on ten seconds?"

"What do you know? The odds on the outside are too shady. Lin Lei's odds of winning are 1.01, and the odds of winning in ten seconds are 1.2. I'm already being very generous by betting on ten seconds. Those who bet on winning within three seconds are the real ruthless ones."

Lin Anru, who was standing next to Leng Qing, looked unpleasant.

Although the senior students around were all talking about Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan, as a man who had once defeated Lin Anru, was still looked down upon by these senior students. How should she be viewed for losing to Zhou Yan like this?

Lin Anru slowly clenched her hands on her thighs. She knew that the world of Awakened Ones valued power; without power, one was nothing. But as a fellow demigod Awakened One, she was now being mocked like this by a senior student.

I have no choice but to endure it.

Lin Anru slowly raised her head to look at Zhou Yan and Lin Lei in the center of the flat ground, and a subtle ripple stirred in her heart.

For a fleeting moment, Lin Anru wished that it was herself standing in front of Lin Lei, but of course, this was just a wish.

She would never choose to stand against these upperclassmen, even if she possessed the same power as them.

The center of the flat ground.

Zhou Yan held one hand diagonally downwards, and the Shengwu Sword extended from Zhou Yan's arm.

Lin Lei wanted to say something, but remembering the sore spot he held in his throat, the man shut his mouth and gritted his teeth.

During the fight, Linley wouldn't allow himself to open his mouth, which greatly displeased the hot-tempered and arrogant Linley. After all, if he didn't make a few sarcastic remarks or boast about his strength when he was in the heat of the fight, even if he won the battle, it would lack a certain flavor.

So Lin Lei learned ventriloquism.

Lin Lei kept his mouth shut, but a muffled sound still came out from his throat.

"A wooden sword? Junior, you're really environmentally conscious."

Lin Lei beckoned, and the next second, an eight-sided Han sword about two meters long was drawn out of the void. This sword was stolen by Lin Lei from a collapsed palace when he was training in Kunlun Immortal Palace, and it was a high-end item.

Zhou Yan glanced at the eight-sided Han sword.

Name: Lie Wujian.

Origin: The sword of Jin Dong, a gatekeeper immortal soldier of Kunlun Immortal Palace.

Supernatural powers.

Indestructible: It will never wear down or lose its sharpness when clashing with ordinary weapons.

Immortal Sword Embryo: Increases the effectiveness of immortal sect spells by 20%.

Ward off evil: Increases damage against evil and demonic entities by 30%.

Little Universe: It can create its own void and hide in a small space next to its owner, which can be taken out at any time.

Lin Lei twirled his sword and was about to say something polite, such as how many inches and how much weight the sword was, how many enemies it had defeated, and how much glory it had brought him.

Before he could even speak, the students watching the scene started shouting.

"Go Lin Lei! Beat Zhou Yan to a pulp!"

"This sword is so cool! I must cut Zhou Yan's head off!"

"Zhou Yan, if you're so capable, don't admit defeat!"

Lin Lei turned around and saw Wang Yang and Fang Xu leading a large group of boys and girls shouting. Some of Fang Xu's people even unfurled a five-meter-long banner as a show of support.

Damn it, this is supposed to be a duel, but it's like celebrities singing and competing against each other.

Lin Lei turned around and looked at Zhou Yan, who was also holding a sword.

Alright, enough with the chit-chat.

Lin Lei said in ventriloquism.

"Junior, your senior is here!"

A flash of lightning appeared in the area where Lin Lei was, and then he disappeared completely.

Lin Lei's attributes are all above 2000, but due to air resistance and edge decay, Lin Lei's current speed is only 1.5 times the speed of sound.

A speed of 1.5 times the speed of sound is enough to make someone disappear from the sight of a normal person, including the low-level awakened students watching outside the square.

Zhou Yan suddenly closed his eyes the moment Lin Lei disappeared.

The low-level awakened students watching the battle couldn't see this little action, nor could those who weren't paying attention to Zhou Yan. Only Bai Rusu, Lin Anru, and Leng Qing, who were wearing masks, noticed it.

Of the three, Bai Rusu, who knew of Zhou Yan's bloodline, nodded to herself, Lin Anru looked puzzled, and Leng Qing frowned.

The next moment, Zhou Yan's hand holding the Shengwu Sword, which had been closed, suddenly disappeared.

Lightning flashed several times in front of Zhou Yan, then retreated with a violent clash of weapons and a flash of lightning, reaching a hundred meters away from Zhou Yan.

Then, the lightning continued to leap and rush towards Zhou Yan from a hundred meters away. Zhou Yan, who had his eyes closed, was surrounded by flashing lightning, but every few seconds the lightning would quickly retreat before approaching him again.

And so it goes.

The surrounding students quieted down. Many looked at each other, bewildered by the sudden change in the situation. Some stared in disbelief at Zhou Yan's direction.

A minute later, a flash of lightning appeared ten meters away from Zhou Yan, and Lin Lei, his face covered in blood, walked out of the lightning.

The hand that had disappeared from Zhou Yan's body returned to his shoulder.

Regardless of the differences between the two sides, Zhou Yan was unharmed, and even the sleeves of his arm holding the Shengwu Sword were intact. Lin Lei's white training clothes, except for the underwear area, were shattered into pieces, making him look extremely ridiculous with tattered strips of cloth hanging around him.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the situation, something just doesn't seem right on Lin Lei's side.

"What happened? Did Senior Lin get the short end of the stick?"

"No way? What just happened?"

"I...I didn't see anything."

"Cheating, it must be cheating, Teacher Bai, did Zhou Yan use some dirty tricks on Senior Lin?"

Fang Xu and the others couldn't wait to see Zhou Yan make a fool of himself. The students who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy turned to look at Bai Rusu.

Bai Rusu remained expressionless.

Fang Xu and the others went to look at Leng Qing and the others again, and Fang Xu even forced himself to shout.

"Senior Leng, aren't you going to do anything about cheating?"

Standing in the best spot, Leng Qing didn't bother to look at Fang Xu, so she asked the students around her in a low voice.

"Did you see it clearly?"

The other older students looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were all top students with agility and nerve response scores above 1800, so they naturally saw the battle between Zhou Yan and Lin Lei clearly.

This crystal-clear understanding left the older students speechless.

On the battlefield just now, Zhou Yan used his Shengwu sword to parry Lin Lei's eight-sided Han sword and attacked Lin Lei's body. The two exchanged thousands of sword strikes.

Normally, this kind of sword-to-sword combat is nothing out of the ordinary. The only problem is that Zhou Yan stood still and didn't move.

When fighting Lin Lei, Zhou Yan perfectly blocked all of Lin Lei's sword techniques without moving an inch. Then, he used his Shengwu Sword to strike Lin Lei at least five hundred times. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Lei's dragon scale defense was too strong, after Zhou Yan's five hundred strikes, the hundreds of pounds of flesh on Lin Lei's body would not have been much better than the clothes on his body.

monster.

A purebred, unquestionable monster.

Lin Lei's swordsmanship was personally taught by a highly awakened sword ape, and his experience was gained through countless strikes in human forbidden zones. In terms of technique alone, Lin Lei undoubtedly stands at the pinnacle of this generation of awakened individuals. However, in front of Zhou Yan, he is like a novice who has just learned swordsmanship, easily manipulated at will.

An older student couldn't help but look at Lin Anru, who was equally dumbfounded.

"Is this new guy a Sword Ape? And one with 100% awakening level?"

Lin An shook her head hesitantly, the turmoil in her heart almost overwhelming her.

It hasn't even been a month yet!

Why did Zhou Yan suddenly become so much stronger?

Moreover, if it's just about the strength of attributes, Lin Anru can understand it. But it's not uncommon for attributes to increase tenfold immediately after eating some immortal fruits or pills.

But what Zhou Yan is showing now is clearly technical prowess.

This swordsmanship is so impressive that even Bai Yuan, the swordsmanship teacher from the top academy in Dragon City back then, would have to admire it.

On the fighting arena.

Lin Lei gripped his eight-sided sword and pointed it at Zhou Yan, speaking fiercely (in ventriloquism).

I really underestimated you.

Zhou Yan opened his eyes.

"Should we continue?"

Lin Lei's face darkened.
