In her previous life, Ling Qingxue had never been to Lingtian Middle School, so she was not familiar with its affairs.
However, she had heard a little about the matter of beast-human hybrids.
This was the work of the Beast King Cult, and it had caused quite a stir.
The Beast King Cult was one of the top ten cults in the Blue Star World, believing in the power of magical beasts and considering the cultivation method of humans contracting their magical beasts to be of little use.
The perfect cultivation method was to assimilate the bloodline of magical beasts, transforming oneself into a beast, becoming a true magical beast!
This was how beast-human hybrids came to be.
But beast-human hybrids had a fatal flaw: their consciousness became beast-like!
Once their consciousness became beast-like, they completely transformed into a beast, with no way to return to normal.
"The principal is here too," Lin Yutang called out with a smile.
Shen Congwu hurriedly walked towards Ling Qingxue, a smile on his face, but also a hint of helplessness.
That bunch of brats, always causing trouble.
This time, they even staged a protest, giving him a real headache.
"Yutang, quickly take Qingxue to the prepared dormitory. Those brats are causing trouble again."
Hearing this, Lin Yutang shook his head.
"There's no way around it. They're bound to cause trouble sooner or later. Let's settle it here today, so they don't cause trouble next time when we're not around."
Shen Congwu frowned. "Qingxue just arrived. She needs at least a couple of days to adjust."
"No need, I'll handle it myself."
Ling Qingxue raised her eyes, her gaze falling on the students surging towards them from around the corner.
She had expected this; after all, no one would be willing to give up their resources.
Moreover, she was from another school, so she had even less right to take their resources.
Shen Congwu stared at Qin Hongyan, who stood at the front of the crowd, a hint of anger on his face.
The Qin, Zhou, and Zhao families were all powerful clans in Nanchuan Province, and Qin Hongyan and Zhou Weiwei were certainly not short of money.
"Qin Hongyan, you brat, are you trying to rebel?!"
Hearing this, Qin Hongyan smiled faintly, then looked at Ling Qingxue.
"Rebellion is out of the question, but shouldn't we welcome Ling Qingxue's sudden arrival?"
"Is this what you call a welcome?!"
Blocking the road with hundreds of students, how is this a welcome?
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were trying to kick someone out.
Chen Feng stepped forward, coldly staring at Ling Qingxue.
"Principal, Ling Qingxue is indeed a genius in Linjiang City, but that's not necessarily true in Lingtian City. Her magical beast defeating the Battle Sky Ape only shows her potential. What right does she have to steal our resources?!"
If she transferred to their school, that would be one thing, but was an exchange student worthy?
A student with only the potential to be in the top ten of martial arts universities, what right did she have to consume their precious resources, stepping on them to rise to the top!
Chen Feng protested vehemently.
Ling Qingxue glanced at him. "Wanna fight?"
Chen Feng smiled coldly.
"That's right, let me see just how good you are, this genius who rejected Qingshan Martial Arts University's S-rank admission invitation!"
Shen Congwu frowned, his blood pressure rising instantly.
He had finally managed to build a good relationship with Ling Qingxue, and these rascals pulled this stunt the moment she stepped in. Wasn't all his effort wasted?
"Chen Feng, if you have any doubts about my decision, you can raise them to me, instead of openly violating school rules like this..."
Ling Qingxue slightly raised her hand, interrupting Shen Congwu.
"Respect is earned. You think I'm not worthy to compete with you for resources? Then come and defeat me!"
Chen Feng smirked. "That's more like a martial artist. If you can beat me, I'll submit!"
Shen Congwu had no choice but to comply.
He wasn't worried about Ling Qingxue losing; after all, with Wu Liang at the Third Level early-stage, no student in the entire Lingtian Middle School could defeat her.
Qin Hongyan, currently the highest-ranking student at Lingtian Middle School, was only at the Second Rank peak, and he was also a seeded player for one of the top three martial arts universities.
The group of people arrived at the Lingtian Middle School martial arts arena.
Such a grand spectacle attracted almost everyone in Lingtian Middle School.
"This brat is so arrogant! She just arrived at our school and dares to challenge Chen Feng, who's in the top ten!"
"Uh, it was Chen Feng who challenged Ling Qingxue."
"Same difference—it's still fighting. Chen Feng should beat her soundly. Does she think our Lingtian City is some small town like Linjiang City?"
The discriminatory mentality specific to big city residents led them to look down on people from small towns.
Over the years, this had even formed a hierarchy of contempt...
People from big cities looked down on people from medium-sized cities, and people from medium-sized cities looked down on people from small cities.
As for people from small cities... they looked down on everyone!
In the fighting arena, Chen Feng and Ling Qingxue stood facing each other, one tense, the other as calm as ever.
"Little Xuexue, should I swat him away with one paw?" Wu Liang asked, yawning.
"No need, I can handle it!"
Ling Qingxue placed Wu Liang at the edge of the arena, having no intention of letting him fight.
With his Third Level early-stage, if he were to fight, there would be nothing left for her to do.
Seeing this, veins throbbed on Chen Feng's forehead.
This was too insulting! Fighting him without even bringing her magical beast!
Wasn't this looking down on him?!
Chen Feng's blood surged, and his bloodshot eyes flashed.
"This is too much! How dare you underestimate me like this?!"
In just a moment, charged forward, his fists clenched, condensing solid vital energy around them.
"Basic Martial Skill, Earth-Shattering Fist!"
With a single punch, the earth shattered with tremendous force.
Each step he took caused the ground to tremble, drawing out the accumulated killing intent within him, making him appear formidable and incomprehensible to onlookers.
Ling Qingxue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the silver and fiery red marks that had been subtly flowing beneath her skin suddenly brightened.
Boom!
A surge of energy erupted as she shot through the air like an arrow, her speed so great that those present could barely see her.
Their fists collided, and it was Chen Feng, who had projected such imposing momentum, who was sent flying, his back slamming heavily against the stone wall of the martial arts arena.
Chen Feng's pupils shrank to pinpoints, his face filled with disbelief.
"Her power... is even greater than mine!"
The cultivation technique he specialized in was the Thick Earth basic technique, given to him by Lingtian Middle School, renowned for its immense power and terrifying defense.
He had actually lost to a girl of the same level!
"I don't believe it!"
Chen Feng began to gather his vital energy again, as if donning a heavy suit of armor on his body.
He activated the Thick Earth Technique!
Since Ling Qingxue didn't use her magical beast, he couldn't either. He would use absolute power to drive her out of Lingtian Middle School.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His footsteps slammed heavily into the ground, a surge of anger filling his mind.
He knew he couldn't lose, especially not to someone from a small town!
His fists rained down, sealing off all of Ling Qingxue's escape routes, leaving her with no choice but to fight him.
"Pure brute force, utterly lacking in combat skill," Ling Qingxue commented calmly.
She drew a circle with one hand, two colors of energy converging into a streak of light, which shot out.
The silver-red streak of light cleaved through the shadow fists, instantly shattering Chen Feng's seemingly flawless attack.
However, he continued his relentless attack; in his mind, offense was the best defense!
