âAlright!â
Surging Lightning was custom made for the future One Hundred Saber Techniques. Meng Chao himself had a lot of shares in this, so it was only natural that he needed to test it personally.
âAlso, when youâre fighting at the northern frontlines, remember to fight beautifully so that we can upload videos online. Itâll help us create momentum for Surging Lightning and yourself.
âBut donât upload them using your own account. Look for a few coursemates and pretend that they accidentally recorded a video of you. Make the video titles thrilling, like âShocking! A freshman actually did this to the monsters!â. Itâs only then that youâll be able to attract attention, understand?â Luo Hai said.
âIf you donât have any suitable people to use, I can contact a group and film you from multiple angles. Weâll also get copywriters and ghostwriters and deal with everything in one go.
âIf the saberâs performance is really good and the results of your fight are great, my dad will film a documentary to talk about your story. Weâll turn it into a pretty package with a ribbon tied on top and turn you into an internet celebrity. Then, weâll use it to promote the saber as well.â
Meng Chao was slightly stunned. âWhy is it me, but not you? Youâre his son.â
âThereâre more topics about you!â Luo Hai said matter-of-factly. âThe son of Soul Breaking Saber has great saber skills. Thereâs nothing special about that. But a poor kid who lived in a public renting house managing to climb to the top with his own strength and even understanding an amazing saber technique along the way?
âNow thatâs news, itâs even a selling point. After all, the main market of the youth version of Surging Lightning is the normal citizens, so of course we have to turn you into an idol!â
âMakes sense, go on.â Meng Chao declined to make any comments and smiled. He rubbed the tiger cowry pattern on the saber. As he stared at Luo Hai, his gaze turned sharp. âIf weâre really going to film a documentary, what do you think of this opening? A poor kid living in a public renting house fought against the son of Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu in a cultivation room with Surging Lightning in hand. In the end, he defeated this superior, noble son of a powerful martial artist at the peak of Heaven Realm.â
Luo Hai instantly understood what he meant.
He laughed and got up quickly, then placed his saber on his shoulder. Spirit flames instantly surged out of his body. The spirit tattoos on his body were even finer and more beautiful than two months ago.

âSure. Even though Iâm not some noble son, if you want to fight, weâll fight. Come, let me see just how much youâve improved compared to the moment you awakened, you monster!â
Ten minutes later, both of them lay in a disheveled cultivation room. They were exhausted and gasped for breath with sweat and blood covering their bodies.
There was a terrifying gash on Meng Chaoâs chest. His flesh had been cut before it was burnt by heat that was hundreds of degrees Celsius high. With the slightest movement, it cracked again, and the sight of it could make anyoneâs skin crawl.
Luo Haiâs body was covered in numerous fine wounds that looked like a toddlerâs mouth flipped inside out. Even though each wound was not fatal, all of them were very close to his tendons. If they moved by another half an inch, he might have become disabled.
Neither one could move, and their sabers had been knocked off their hands due to a fierce clash just now. They could only stare at each other with wide eyes.
Now, the person who healed faster would be the winner.
Luo Hai shut his eyes and used the Tiger Soul that was passed down in his family to increase the circulation of his spirit energy. It allowed him to quickly recover his stamina.
However, right after he regained control over his upper body, Meng Chao started crawling toward the two sabers. He picked them up and observed the chips on the blades while gasping in amazement.
âNot bad. Just now, I delivered 1,154 slashes, and you executed 825 slashes. We clashed 122 times. The chips on the blade are absolutely acceptable. This is a good saber!â
Meng Chao tossed Luo Haiâs saber back at him and reached out to help him up.
If they were in a real fight, he could have just plunged his saber into Luo Haiâs heart.
Luo Hai was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and smiled wryly. âMy dadâs right. He told me not to strive for temporary superiority against a monster like you; otherwise, my confidence will be completely crushed.
âI thought that I would be able to turn the tides after training madly for nearly two months in Dragon City Universityâs martial arts course. I was repeatedly tormented by the monster-level geniuses over there, and my strength increased by leaps and bounds, but who wouldâve known that you were training just as crazily in Agricultural Universityâs martial arts course. Youâre at about the same level as the most terrifying monsters in our course!â

Meng Chao grinned shyly and said, âYour fighting strength has really increased a lot. Itâs really shocking. If the cut on my chest had gone half an inch further, my sternum would have been cut through. Then, the results of the fight would have been completely different. And youâre telling me that there is someone who can torment you in Dragon City Universityâs martial arts course?â
âOf course there is. Iâm only ranked around the twentieth place among the freshmen in Dragon City Universityâs martial arts course. The ones in front are all horrific monsters.
âWe have three specially recruited students in our batch this year, you know? When stuck between these monsters, you find yourself wanting to die as they bully the crap out of you every day. Seriously, itâs completely different from the university life I had envisioned,â Luo Hai said with a bitter look.
âIâm beginning to wonder whether it was the right choice for me to enroll in Dragon City Universityâs martial arts course. I should have enrolled in Agricultural Universityâs martial arts course like you and Xie Feng and become attention seekers like you so that I can enjoy ace lecturers and get a lot of cultivation resources. That wouldâve been great!â
âYouâre the attention seeker!â Meng Chao did not know whether he should laugh or cry.
But he was shocked by the foundation and strength of Dragon City Universityâs martial arts course.
Luo Haiâs base power was about the same as his.
Meng Chao only managed to gain a slight advantage because he cultivated 1,024 branch meridians and could recover faster.
Yet there were more than twenty students who were stronger than him in Dragon Cityâs martial arts course? And there were even three specially recruited students?
It has to be known that Agricultural University only had two specially recruited students.
Aside from Wu Wu, there was another student who was snatched by the etherealized plants course, because they were rumored to be able to hear the murmurs of the Other World plants since birth. That student should be able to become an outstanding etherealized plants botanist, but it was unlikely that they had any fighting power.
Yet Dragon Cityâs martial arts course had more specially recruited students in one course compared to Agricultural University. It was the strongest fighting course in Dragon City for a reason!
âMy opponents are really strong!â Meng Chao mumbled in his heart. âThatâs⌠awesome!â

His fighting spirit became even stronger.
âBut when I fight against you, the feeling that I have is completely different when compared to being trampled all over by those monsters.â Luo Hai recalled the fight just a moment ago, and cold sweat covered his forehead.
âWhen I fight against the monsters in Dragon City Universityâs monsters, I know just which aspect of theirs is stronger than mine, and I know why I lose. I can see the difference between us clearly. Even if I am defeated, at least I know the reason behind it.
âBut when I fight against you, I feel as if Iâm facing obstructions everywhere, and all the moves I make are sloppy. When I want to create my spirit energy magnetic field, you interrupt my moves, and if I died, I wouldnât even know how I died. It just feels horrible.
âIs that the Ultimate Style?â
The Luo family was also one of the investors in the Ultimate Style, so it was only natural that Luo Hai knew about it.
Meng Chao did not hide it from him. He nodded and said, âYeah, a few days ago, the Ultimate Style achieved progressive success. Now, this can be considered the beta version. Weâre going to test it in real fights now.â
âYour efficiency is really high. I just knew that nothing will go wrong if I invest in your project.â
Luo Hai hesitated for a moment. It looked like he had something to say, but was holding himself back.
Meng Chao frowned a little. âWhat do you want to say?â
âSo, is this the reason behind why you dealt such a heavy blow to Duan Lian and the other nine people? You wanted to leave behind a deep impression of the Ultimate Style in them?â
Meng Chao was slightly stunned. âYou know about this too? ⌠Well, it makes sense. Duan Lian graduated from Construction High. I even asked you about him last time. Besides, youâre close to Xie Feng, and you have a lot of high school mates in my course. It only makes sense that I canât hide this from you.â
âWhy were you so ruthless? I donât think this is good for promoting the Ultimate Style. No one will think that your martial art is strong. Theyâll just think that youâre shameless, crazy, and maybe a little perverse,â Luo Hai said.

Meng Chao shrugged. âHow else was I supposed to resolve the conflict between me and Duan Lian? Youâre highschool mates, so you know his character very well. Even if I won against him legitimately in the arena ten times, do you think that he would admit defeat and stop attacking me?â
Luo Hai thought about it carefully, then shook his head. âI donât think so. He would only think that he was humiliated ten times and that all the people laughed at him ten times. He would even think that you are the cause of his humiliation, which will lead to him hating you even more.â
âThatâs right, so I started thinking. Since I canât really kill him, I can only use this reckless plan. In the end, I managed to turn an enemy into a friend,â Meng Chao said with a shrug.
âWhat about the other nine students?â Luo Hai asked. âThey didnât provoke you.â
âI didnât harm them. I saved them,â Meng Chao said faintly. âIf they canât change their student-like mindsets and throw all the rules, laws, logic, and habits into the wind, when they reached the wild, they would die without even knowing how they died.
âFighting with the city as our battlefield and running into a monsterâs nest, which is their turf, are two completely different things. Iâm shameless, mad, and perverse? Those monsters are definitely even more shameless, crazy, and perverted than I am!
âIf those students canât accept this fighting style, then they should stay in the university obediently and come up with theories as well as conduct research in the labs. Why should they run to the wild and lose their lives as well as drag others down into the mud with them?â
âYouâŚâ Luo Hai looked at Meng Chao with a complicated expression for a long time before he exhaled. âAlright. I understand your kind will, but as your friend, let me give you a reminder. Next time, when you do something, could you just pay attention to the method that you use? Do you have any idea what Duan Lian and the others say about you now?â
Meng Chao let out a bark of laughter. âNo way. Is Duan Lian really that stubborn and hasnât had his fill yet?â
âNo. He has completely admitted defeat. He wonât dare to provoke you again,â Luo Hai said. âHe said that you have a multiple personality disorder. On the surface, you look like an average university student, but in the depths of your heart lies a crazy lunatic who looks like⌠a veteran who suffers from PTSD because he has been tormented by hundreds of battles, and that veteran is someone who will react in extreme ways at any moment. That lunatic is also a merciless assassin and an inhumane killing machine.
âHonestly, I think heâs pretty accurate. You might not notice it, but after you awakened to your supernatural abilities, youâve been changing a lot. Just now, your gaze was like that of the God of Death himself, and the presence you gave off when you attacked was completely different from when we fought together during the national college examinationâs practical test.
âEven though all superhumans experience certain changes after they awaken, they usually arenât like you. Youâre like a completely different person now.
âSo, Meng Chao⌠are you okay?â
