Not only Zhang Yuan, but everyone else also seriously doubted Ling Qingxue's vital and spiritual power values.
This was too unreasonable!
Last month, Ling Qingxue's test results showed a vitality value of 87 and a spiritual power of 79—not even enough to be ranked as a martial artist.
Just one month later, her vitality value reached 420, and her spiritual power jumped to a terrifying 385. Her Physical Cultivation and Spiritual Master levels both broke through to the late-stage of the First Rank.
Damn if this isn't blatant cheating!
What else could it be?!
Cheaters always attracted hatred, and this was exactly the case with Ling Qingxue.
In fact, the real game-changer was Wu Liang, who was perched on her shoulder.
Wang Jianming stared at the numbers on the screen, his eyes widening, followed by pure, overwhelming joy.
He had produced a genius!
Ling Qingxue's level was definitely in the top ten of the entire school, and with some effort, she could be in the top five!
Damn, the 'Top Lead Teacher' title was his this time!
"Great! Excellent! I've seen Ling Qingxue's progress firsthand. I hope you can bring glory to the class and achieve top marks in the mock exam!"
Ling Qingxue nodded slightly and then prepared to return to her seat.
Zhang Yuan watched everything with an ashen complexion, jealousy etched across her features.
"Teacher Wang, Ling Qingxue's test result is too abnormal. I demand she be retested!"
"It's really too exaggerated, it must be a cheat..." a boy muttered softly.
Wang Jianming slammed his hand on the table, giving the boy a cold glare.
"I am a Second Rank mid-stage martial artist. My perception of vital energy is much clearer than yours. Ling Qingxue's vital energy is abundant and stable, all earned through cultivation. The vitality of everyone else here is far less stable than Ling Qingxue's."
As he spoke, Wang Jianming's gaze also fell on Zhang Yuan.
Her vital energy, boosted by drugs, was actually incredibly weak; he could tell at a glance.
"Also, the testing equipment is flawless. It's been thoroughly checked by the school!"
Wang Jianming's explanation definitively confirmed Ling Qingxue's abnormally high stats of vital and spiritual energy.
Instantly, all fifty-odd students in the class focused their attention on her.
Wu Liang's face darkened with displeasure.
"You think my woman is someone you can just stare at casually?"
He unleashed his aura with a roar, a violent surge of energy filling the entire classroom, mixed with his bestial nature—fierce and cold. It was truly terrifying!
Everyone felt as if a giant hand was gripping their throats, their faces turning pale.
This aura was terrifying, even more so than Ling Qingxue's vital energy, and possessed far greater offensive power.
Just then, the two instruments detecting vital and spiritual energy beeped twice.
"Unknown magical beast. Vitality 498, Spiritual Power 250, First Level peak magical beast!"
Someone exclaimed "Holy crap!", followed by a chorus of "Holy crap!" echoing throughout the entire school building.
The entire Class Ten erupted into chaos.
"Damn it, I've been honing my vital energy since I was seven, and I only had a little over 200 points today. This mongrel has almost three times more than I have! I swear..."
"There must be a mistake. Aren't magical beasts supposed to have low spiritual power? How come it has 250?! How could nobody in the whole class have more spiritual power than a beast?!"
"It's fake, it's fake! If this is real, it's too awesome!"
Wu Liang grew increasingly furious. Who's the mongrel?
He's a Taotie!
The next moment, he jumped off Ling Qingxue's shoulder, his body instantly growing larger.
In an instant, a nearly three-meter-tall, ferocious beast appeared in the classroom, everyone looking up at him.
Wu Liang slowly walked towards the boy who had just called him a "mongrel", his fierce aura radiating outwards.
Seeing this, Wang Jianming, who had been beaming with joy, was momentarily stunned.
Wu Liang's aura was approaching that of a Second Level magical beast. It was incredibly domineering, and even Wang Jianming could feel a slight pressure.
Just seven days ago, he was merely a weak hybrid beast, lacking even a bloodline.
Wu Liang grabbed the boy with one paw, his tiger-like eyes fixed on him.
The boy trembled violently, almost wetting himself in fear.
"Dog Lord, oh no, Dog God! I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me..."
Two streams of scorching air shot from Wu Liang's nostrils, indicating his rage.
How did he resemble a dog?
Such a powerful, domineering, strong, majestic, and strikingly handsome figure—how could he resemble a dog!
Ling Qingxue rubbed her temples, feeling utterly exhausted. "Wu Liang, come back here! Stop causing trouble!"
Wu Liang snorted coldly. "No way! I'm going to kill him! He actually called me a dog! What a disgrace!"
"I apologize on his behalf. I'll catch you a beast to eat when we go to the secret place later," Ling Qingxue said helplessly.
Wu Liang's chest heaved, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but in the end, he still threw the culprit aside.
He finally shrunk back to his original form and jumped onto Ling Qingxue's shoulder, still looking very angry.
Ling Qingxue stood up and looked around, her face icy.
"My magical beast has a bad temper. He doesn't like people calling him a dog or a mongrel. I warn you, if you provoke him again, don't blame me. If he gets angry, I can't stop him!"
This act made the classroom so quiet one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to look at Wu Liang again.
Too terrifying!
A magical beast, with an aura stronger than the entire class! Its power was enough to easily crush them three times over.
If it were enraged, who could possibly defeat it...?
That boy truly understood the consequences of his foul mouth this time, and he deeply regretted his actions.
Zhang Yuan's face froze, her gaze fixed on Wu Liang.
That was originally her magical beast egg. That should have been her destined soul-bound beast!
Today, she should have been the one to display her power in front of everyone!
Her face turned purple with anger, and she almost fainted.
With Ling Qingxue and Wu Liang's current strength, how could she compete with them...?
She really regretted it!!!
Wang Jianming took two deep breaths, suppressing his shock.
The display of Wu Liang's terrible aura had truly startled him, but it was followed by overwhelming joy.
Wu Liang's strength absolutely qualified him to compete for the first place.
Even Chu Yuansheng, the top student in the entire school, probably didn't possess such terrifying intimidation power.
The Top Lead Teacher title is in my hand!
He coughed a few times to ease the atmosphere in the classroom.
"Liu Yang, I have to reprimand you. I've said it many times, some magical beasts possess high intelligence. If you insult them, they will feel provoked, thus hastening your own death. If you do it again, you'll receive a demerit!"
Liu Yang nodded tearfully. "I... I'll remember."
"I almost died, damn it. This stupid mouth of mine really needs to be sewn shut."
Wang Jianming forced back his grin.
"In one hour, you'll be entering the secret place. Remember, survival is the most important thing. Resources and rankings are secondary!"
"I support playful banter among classmates; competition fosters progress. But it's best not to escalate to a life-or-death situation. Killing isn't prohibited in the secret place, but I also hope everyone retains a shred of kindness, at least towards your fellow students."
"I look forward to your growth and progress. I wish you all the best in your endeavors!"
Casting a pointed glance at Ling Qingxue, Wang Jianming left the classroom.
