As soon as he finished speaking, the students erupted in murmurs, but no one stepped forward to volunteer.

"Is there no one? Must I call out names?"

After waiting for a moment and seeing no one willing to step forward, Callum West furrowed his brows.

"I'll go!"

This time, a somewhat arrogant voice sounded among the crowd.

Suddenly, all gazes converged onto this young man with his aloof demeanor.

"Felix Harrow! I can't believe it's him!"

"I heard he has already entered the initial stage of body refinement."

"Oh my god! How did we end up in the same group as him?"

"He's one of the top ten prodigies in No. 1 Middle School and even ranks fifth. How could we ordinary students ever compete with him?"

Amid the gasps and exclamations from the crowd, Callum looked at the nonchalant Felix standing on the stage, a slight smile painted across his face.

Then, he turned towards everyone and declared loudly, "Since we have found someone to hold the fort, then who wishes to challenge Felix first?"

Upon his words, the place fell into complete silence!

Predicting this response, Callum immediately followed with, "In that case, I will make a random selection!"

With the final word spoken, Callum's gaze began to wander among the crowd.

"It's you!"

A few seconds later, Callum gave a slight nod towards a student.

However, this student hadn't been onstage for half a minute before he was directly kicked off by Felix.

Even more crucially, this fate befell seven or eight subsequent students.

Not a single one of them was able to stay on stage for more than thirty seconds!

"You, come on stage!"

When Callum selected the next challenger, he pointed directly at Kieran.

"Bro, just surrender directly when you get up there!"

"That way you can avoid any unnecessary pain!"

Before Kieran went on stage, Jasper leaned in to whisper this advice to him.

Hearing this, Kieran gave a somewhat helpless smile, not saying a word.

"Huh? Why does Kieran look so calm?"

"I suspect he's already prepared to be kicked off the platform!"

"Indeed, in the end, the result is the same, so it doesn't matter if it happens sooner or later!"

As Kieran stood steady on the ring, Felix, who already lost all interest, just nodded at him and succinctly stated, "Felix Harrow!"

Seeing this, Kieran also announced his name.

As Callum signaled the start of the challenge, Felix was the first to attack.

He was like a live cannonball, charging quickly at Kieran.

"Felix! Felix!"

The girls below the ring continuously cheered for Felix. Based on his earlier performance, he had already captured their hearts.

The very next second, amidst these excited cheers, a figure was sent flying.

"Felix!" "Felix!"

The cheering became even louder, with some even prematurely screaming for Felix's victory in retaining the title.

"Felix..."

However, when they clearly saw the face of the figure that was thrown out, all the cheers abruptly stopped.

Everyone stared stunned at the figure in the middle of the ring.

Felix, who was previously adored by the crowd, was now sprawled on the ground like a pile of beaten meat, his face white and contorted with pain.

On the contrary, Kieran, standing still where he stood when he ascended the platform, seemed relaxed.

Hiss!

This guy has actually killed Felix in a second!

You should know, Felix is only in the early stage of hardening his body!

In this way, what will be the strength of Kieran?

Not only the students on the scene, even Callum was surprised.

There's a shock in his heart.

Because just now, even he himself didn't see how Kieran made his move!

"Quick! Get the medical staff over here, take him to the medical room!"

After a while, Callum, who had finally come to his senses, hurriedly yelled at the rest of the crowd.

After Felix was taken away by the medical staff, he finally looked at Kieran with appreciation.

"Teacher West, let's continue!"

The words of Kieran, however, made everyone feel an urge to vomit blood.

Even Felix was knocked out by him in one punch, who on-site could be his opponent?

"Okay! You come with me, the rest continue their challenge as they please. Remember, do not hurt people's lives!"

Callum took Kieran and left the scene first.

After the two of them left, the field where the third group was located blew up into a commotion.

Everyone surrounded Jasper, who was usually very close with Kieran, and bombarded him with questions.

"Holy moly! Kieran must at least be at the Intermediate Tempering stage, right?"

"He knocked out Felix with a single punch. Only Cassian Drake from the Elite Class could possibly achieve that level of strength!"

"Cassian Drake? That's the highest ranked individual in our generation's top ten prodigies!"

"Exactly, Jasper, do you know what Kieran's strength really is?"

With this question raised, everyone's eyes were concentrated on Jasper.

"Of course, I know! After all, Kieran is my brother!"

"What I can tell you is that his real strength is far from just Intermediate Tempering, it's in the Advanced stage!"

Upon hearing this, everyone had faces filled with shock.

Truth be told, even Jasper was dumbfounded.

He had agreed to be an "average joe" brother, but you secretly became a top contender!

On the other side, Kieran and Callum arrived at the school's cultivation grounds. This is where students practice and test their combat values on a daily basis.

"Kieran, what is your current state of cultivation?"

Looking at Kieran, Callum asked solemnly.

Then, worried that Kieran would not tell the truth, he specifically added:

"You must know that your real cultivation level is closely related to the school's future cultivation method for you. Think it over before you speak!"

Upon hearing this, Kieran slightly shrugged his shoulders, then said calmly, "Body tempering peak!"

The moment Callum heard these words, he felt a sense of bewilderment.

How could it be that this underage student standing in front of him had easily reached the level that he, himself, had struggled for such a long time to achieve!

After collecting himself, Callum continued, "Kieran, next, I will test your combat value. You don't mind, do you?"

Kieran naturally knew this was a necessary procedure.

Even he was curious about the test results to see if they matched the combat value given by the system, so he shook his head slightly.

Kieran asked in surprise.However, this blacksmith's shop was not in the traditional sense. All the forged equipment seemed very advanced.At that moment, an elder, who appeared to be around the same age as Dean Hartwell, was busily working. Hearing the movement, he looked up, "Old Hartwell, why are you here at my shop? Are you here to order equipment for the academy? Isn't it a bit early this year?"Every school would order some equipment for regular student use before the start of a new term.However, orders were typically placed only after the academy had confirmed its student enrollment."This man is Silas, he used to be a grandmaster level fighter. But after a mishap, he started learning to forge," Dean Hartwell quietl

    At this moment, more and more people were squeezing towards the front of the corridor, and some were almost against the door. "Yes, yes, make way...uh..." A person was speaking, but his words suddenly choked off as if he had swallowed something foul.The nineteenth lamp had lit up.The scene instantly quieted down. The crowd that had just prepared to make way stood frozen in their tracks.Everyone stared blankly at the nineteenth lamp glowing brightly; for a moment, no one spoke."Oh my God!"Suddenly, a girl screamed. People reacted only to see that all twenty lamps had lit up!Soon after, when the twenty-first lamp lit up, everyone became numb.Preston was standing at the back of the crowd, with a phone call in progress, and he could barely hold his phone steady."Dean."Preston's voice was trembling, "Get to the Martial Saint's Corridor quickly, something huge has happened.""What's happened?" The voice of Dean Hartwell came from the other end of the phone."The results are out. De

    With a thud, his body smashed against the ground; Blake struggled to raise his head, "Damn it, the corridor was fine!"His voice was filled with pain, not only physical but also mental, because Kieran was really that strong."Quick, take him to the medical room!" Preston waved his hand. Those students who previously provided the student cards quickly came forward to lift Blake.This score was borrowed from them, Blake was supposed to return double, so there shouldn't be any issue.Click!At this moment, the door of the corridor where Garrett was at, opened and a youth walked out from inside.As he emerged, he walked toward the crowd. Noticing the shocked expressions on their faces, he smiled, "What's with you guys? It's just one more lamp than last time, no need to be this astonished, right?"His voice was calm. The last time he ventured into the martial saint's corridor, he had already lit fifteen lamps. And it wasn't too long ago, so sixteen this time was within his expectations."G

Perhaps he came to replenish his spiritual power."Thinking of this, he could imagine just how powerful Magnus's spiritual power was."However, the experiences I've acquired so far are of little use to

    Kieran was speechless hearing the arguments from both sides. When he said 'inferior', he was referring to the poor quality of recruits of the academy, to an extent that even surprised him. And it had nothing to do with Garrett. What on earth was their comprehension level?Preston, seeing that the situation was going south, was about to pull Kieran away.Suddenly, Kieran began to speak, "Director Preston, am I allowed to enter the Martial Saint corridor?"He was eager to try his hand on one of the four national treasures of Dragon Kingdom. "You want to enter the Martial Saint Corridor?" Preston was stunned.Kieran nodded in affirmation.The four prized treasures, each of them presents an opportunity for any entrant to grasp a chance of destiny. If there was an opportunity to enter first, he definitely wanted to try."If our junior apprentice brother wants to enter the Martial Saint Corridor, no problem, we'll pool points for you."
