"Ahhh! It hurts... You monster!" Feng Qingqing was in such excruciating pain that she wished she were dead. Otherwise, with her personality, she would never have uttered the word "hurt."

After all, Gao Neng’s fists weren’t just hard; they were also incredibly powerful. An explosive force of 3,000 points rained down on her body relentlessly. How could she possibly withstand it?

She had only one sensation: the places that were already swollen felt like they were about to go flat, while the places that weren’t swollen felt like they were about to swell up.

The other students’ faces turned pale as they watched this scene...

’This fighting style is just too insane!’

Feng Qingqing...

’Is he going to beat her to death?’

"Gao Neng, you monster! Let go of Qingqing, now!" Seeing that Feng Qingqing was about to be beaten senseless, Li Qing finally gritted his teeth and charged forward.

This was the moment Gao Neng had been waiting for.

In fact, he had seen it long ago. This guy, Li Qing, was short and plain-looking, but he harbored a deep desire to woo the school beauty, always dreaming of being the hero who saves the damsel in distress.

’You little punk. Are you trying to use my head as a stepping stone to pick up girls?!’

"I’ll show you ’picking up girls’!" Seeing Li Qing pounce on him from behind, Gao Neng instantly flipped over, using his back to pin down Feng Qingqing.

At the same time, his legs shot upward with all their might.

Rabbit Fights Eagle.

With that one kick,

Gao Neng put his full strength into it.

And he aimed right for Li Qing’s plain face.

’Ugly...’

’And you still think you can woo the school beauty?!’

’Let’s see if this kick doesn’t kill you.’

BANG!

Both feet connected solidly.

Li Qing immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream. Two of his front teeth were knocked out as Gao Neng’s kick sent him flying a good four or five meters into the air before he crashed face-first onto the ground with a thud.

"Ahhh! I’m going to kill you!" Li Qing could barely stand, but he still wiped his mouth, his face smeared with blood. He had truly been pushed to the absolute limit of his anger by Gao Neng.

Gao Neng didn’t hit Feng Qingqing again.

Because Feng Qingqing had actually passed out from the pain.

’Actually, I still held back. At least I didn’t hit her face, right?’

His thoughts racing, Gao Neng’s gaze swept over his surroundings again. A few more Tier Twos were charging over. Besides them, Fang Tangtang was lingering in the back.

Gao Neng wasn’t too worried about these Tier Twos. The only one he was worried about was Fang Tangtang.

’That scheming little loli...’

’She goes for the neck right from the start. Who wouldn’t be worried?’

’Five Tier Two trash, one berserk but staggering Li Qing, one neck-slicing Fang Tangtang, and... Kong Kun isn’t done for yet? He’s getting up again?’

Gao Neng was genuinely tired of this.

’Are 200 Merit Points really that attractive?’

’This is going to be a fight to the death, isn’t it?!’

’Then bring it on!’

’I’d like to see if you can be tougher than me!’

Seeing Kong Kun, Li Qing, and the others charge over again, Gao Neng didn’t retreat or dodge. He met them head-on.

Having broken the Fourth Human Limit, Gao Neng’s own explosive power already exceeded 2,000 points. Combined with his life form’s transformation into iron, which increased his attack power by 50%, every punch he threw now landed with at least 3,000 points of force.

One punch!

Two punches!

Three punches!

Each of Gao Neng’s punches was heavier than the last.

Kong Kun was quickly knocked to the ground again. Li Qing was also spitting up blood. The other Tier Twos were practically all pinned to the ground and being pummeled by Gao Neng.

As for Fang Tangtang...

...she was still just circling around.

"..."

On the high platform, the expressions of the deans and instructors were quite unsightly.

More than ten Tier Two freshmen.

Among them was this year’s top scorer from the Eastern Capital college entrance exams.

So many people ganging up on a single Tier One Early Stage student from the Forgotten Land, and this was the devastating result?

Gao Neng didn’t look at the instructors. His gaze was fixed on Fang Tangtang, who had been circling around him the whole time.

"What are you looking at? Are you thinking about pinning me to the ground and beating me up too?" Fang Tangtang sensed Gao Neng’s hostile gaze and brandished the Scythe of Death in her hands.

Gao Neng really did have that thought.

After all, just a moment ago, his dear classmate Fang Tangtang had nearly killed him with a single slash.

"Do you know why I haven’t sneak-attacked you again? Because I, Death God Fang Tangtang, am confident that even if all of them fall, I can kill you all by myself. Believe it or not," Fang Tangtang continued.

’Believe you? I’ll believe you when pigs fly! You’re a very bad little loli!’ Gao Neng cursed inwardly and rushed forward. He had to get revenge for that slash.

"Oh? You really are going to pin me to the ground and beat me up? Gao Neng, don’t you regret this... I, Fang Tangtang, am giving you plenty of chances right now!" Fang Tangtang said as she backed away.

’Chances, my ass! Why didn’t you think about regret when you were trying to slice me open?’ Gao Neng cursed in his mind, quickened his pace, and leaped at her.

"Ah... Murder! He’s a murderer!" Fang Tangtang turned and ran.

Gao Neng chased closely behind.

But soon, he felt something was off. Fang Tangtang’s speed wasn’t particularly fast; at least, not as fast as when she had slashed at him earlier.

’It’s a trap!’

The instant Gao Neng realized it, he saw a golden light swing toward him.

’A cheap shot from behind? No... this is the Retrospect Slash!’

In the ancient times before the Great Cataclysm, a Martial Saint had a move called the Dragged Sword Strategy.

Gao Neng was knowledgeable and brilliant; he knew these historical allusions very well. So, the moment he saw that golden light, he understood.

He ducked.

The golden light practically grazed his scalp as it passed over him.

’How thrilling.’

"Huh?! You actually dodged my, Death God Fang Tangtang’s, Retrospect Slash? Impressive, Classmate Gao Neng!" Fang Tangtang’s first slash missed, and the second one immediately followed.

It was a combination attack.

As she executed the horizontal cut, she used the momentum to deliver a second chopping slash.

It was extremely fluid.

And incredibly fast.

"Try my, Fang Tangtang’s, Thirteen-Consecutive Slash!"

’Thirteen-Consecutive Slash?!’ Gao Neng was startled. He released his Spiritual Power. He had never learned any combat techniques, so his Spiritual Power was the only way he could analyze her moves.

SWISH!

Another slash grazed Gao Neng’s neck.

Then, the blade became a blur of light. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The third slash.

The fourth slash.

...

’I have to get in close!’ As Gao Neng dodged, he also figured it out. The Scythe of Death was three meters long, a length that could be considered a long-range weapon.

At mid-range, he was at a great disadvantage.

Besides, he hadn’t learned any techniques like Fang Tangtang and the others. The only thing he had was a set of "Military Boxing" manuals, which he hadn’t even really looked at.

Just as Fang Tangtang’s eighth slash was about to come down,

Gao Neng clenched his jaw, raised both arms above his head, and forcefully used his copper alloy gauntlets to perform an Empty-handed Blade Seizing.

BOOM!

Fang Tangtang took a step back.

Gao Neng’s copper alloy gauntlets cracked.

His hands were numb from the impact. He hadn’t fully intercepted the slash, and almost half of its power had struck his gauntlets directly.

"Whoa... You can actually block my, Fang Tangtang’s, Thirteen-Consecutive Slash head-on?! You’re a monster!" Fang Tangtang yelled, preparing to run again.

’Run? Where are you going to run?!’ Gao Neng sneered inwardly. He didn’t give Fang Tangtang the chance. While singing loudly, he finally lunged forward and grabbed her.

"Ah, I, Death God Fang Tangtang, am finished! Don’t hit my face, Gao Neng, I’m begging you! I’m so cute!" Fang Tangtang was so scared she even dropped her Scythe of Death and covered her face tightly.

Gao Neng indeed had no intention of hitting Fang Tangtang’s face.

He sent a punch straight into Fang Tangtang’s chest.

BANG!

Fang Tangtang’s body trembled, but she didn’t cry out in pain.

However, Gao Neng clearly felt his fist get pricked by something extremely sharp. Furthermore, it wasn’t the soft feeling of flesh at all, but the texture of metal.

’This little loli’s clothes are weird. What is this stuff? Feels like a hedgehog. Maybe I should strip it off and have a look?’ Just as Gao Neng was about to act on that thought, an enraged roar echoed in his ears.

"Insolence!"

The roar came from the high platform.

It was so powerful it knocked Gao Neng right on top of Fang Tangtang.

"Gao Neng, I’ll give you one last chance. This is the Eastern Capital Military Academy, not a place for you to act so wantonly. If you stop now, I can pretend I saw nothing. But if you dare to sing one more line, even if you’ve broken the Fourth Human Limit, I will kill you!" The one speaking was none other than Gui Zian.

The Vice Dean of the Eastern Capital Military Academy’s War Academy, a bald, muscular man.

A group of Tier Twos being unable to defeat a single Tier One wasn’t a big deal in itself. However, Gao Neng’s constant singing wasn’t just provoking the students; it was a challenge to the dignity of the Eastern Capital Military Academy.

The students couldn’t beat him!

Then the instructors would have to step in!

If the instructors couldn’t beat him either, then the deans would.

The Eastern Capital Military Academy had decades of strict military regulations. How could they really let Gao Neng run wild on the training field? If every genius followed Gao Neng’s example, how could the academy even continue to operate?

"..."

The instructors on the high platform were all silent.

Their original intention was indeed not to intervene. After all, if they made a move, it would give the impression of the strong bullying the weak.

But the situation was different now...

All the students had been defeated.

How many students were lying scattered across the training field?

What could they do now?

They couldn’t just stand by and watch, could they?

Were a group of deans, vice deans, and instructors going to cancel the freshmen orientation meeting just to watch Gao Neng sing here? If word of this got out, the Eastern Capital Military Academy could really just shut its doors.

A chill ran down Gao Neng’s spine now.

’Did I take things too far?’

He subconsciously glanced at the remaining time: 1 minute and 20 seconds.

’There’s still over a minute left?!’

’Why is there still so much time left?’

"Pulling radishes, pulling radishes, hey-ho, hey-ho, pulling radishes. Hey-ho, hey-ho, can’t pull it out... Old lady, come quick, come help us pull the radish..." Having come this far, could Gao Neng possibly give up?

Just over a minute.

’I just have to hold on!’

"Gao Neng, you brought this upon yourself!" Gui Zian’s expression changed again and again. He finally made his move, leaping down from the high platform.

A distance of a full hundred meters.

He crossed it in a single leap.

Gao Neng was stunned. ’This is what a true powerhouse is, isn’t it?’

’Even stronger than Shen Ning’Er!’

"You’re still singing?!" As Gui Zian spoke, he stomped his foot violently on the ground. The surface of the training field cracked open instantly, and at the same time, an immense spiritual pressure bore down.

’Spiritual Power? I seem to have that too!’ Feeling the pressure, Gao Neng released his own Spiritual Power as well.

He didn’t actually intend to compete with Gui Zian in Spiritual Power, because he knew he couldn’t win. Instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to tell Gui Zian something.

’I have Spiritual Power too! I’ve also broken the Fourth Human Limit! I’m a real super genius! Please, please... don’t kill me!’
