nIn Andrew’s mind, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.

n“Ding! You have defeated a fifth-grade fighter. Obtained 500 strengthening points!”

n“Ding! You have defeated an opponent at the National Martial Arts Conference. Obtained 100 strengthening points!”

nIt could be like this?

nAndrew was dumbfounded.

nHe had clearly not done anything.

nHe had won?

nAnd he had even obtained 600 strengthening points for nothing.

nWas it that easy?

nAndrew had to admit that he was a little tempted.

nBut he thought carefully. If he participated in the competition, wouldn’t that fellow Clayton benefit soon?

nMoreover, the strengthening points awarded in the martial arts competition were not that many.

nIf he went to the wilderness to find a seventh-grade demonic beast and killed it, he could obtain its demonic core and materials. Adding on the killing rewards, it came up to tens of thousands of strengthening points.

nHe really didn’t think much of the hundreds of strengthening points from participating in the martial arts competition.

nProfessor Halley continued to host the competition.

n“Next, let’s invite the winner, Andrew, to the arena.”

nAndrew subconsciously wanted to refuse.

nBut just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted again.

n“Hold on!”

nA clear and soft voice came from above everyone’s heads.

nA man dressed in white with a long sword in his hand lightly stepped in the air. His body flew over like a feather.

nHis movement technique was outstanding. In almost an instant, he landed at the edge of the arena.

nHe looked at Andrew with a smile and said, “Hello, Grandmaster Thunderblade. My name is Lex, and I’m a fourth-year student at the peak of the sixth grade. I would like to spar with Grandmaster Thunderblade. I wonder if you can fulfill my wish?”

nThe entire place was in an uproar.

nAs long as one was a student of Stanford University, they would know Lex.

nAmong all the students at Stanford University, Lex should be the one with the highest strength.

nHis cultivation had already reached the peak of the sixth grade.

nHe was only one step away from becoming a grandmaster.

nHe was considered an influential figure in the school. Usually, his white clothes fluttered in the wind, giving him a fairy-like aura. He was someone that all the girls in the school had admired for a long time.

n“Senior Lex has actually returned.”

n“Senior Lex probably just fought with a demon beast outside. It is said that his strength has reached the peak of the sixth grade.”

n“The biggest difference between the grandmaster realm is that he possesses powerful mental strength. It is said that Senior Lex has already touched the edge of that mental strength. He is just a little bit away.”

n“Do you think Senior Lex can defeat Grandmaster Thunderblade?”

n“It is absolutely impossible. The gap between sixth and seventh grade is too big.” The moment this question was asked, a student beside him shook his head and denied it.

n“But it is not certain. Senior Lex can be called the strongest sixth-grade warrior, while Grandmaster Thunderblade is ranked second from the bottom on the grandmaster ranking. He is considered the weakest grandmaster.”

n“So, can the strongest fighter of the sixth grade beat the weakest fighter of the seventh grade?”

nAndrew and Lex could hear the discussions of these students.

nAfter listening, the corners of Lex’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a trace of a smile.

nThese people were right. He was just a little bit away from becoming a seventh-grade grandmaster.

nAmong the fighters of the sixth grade, it was already difficult for him to find an opponent. He had even sparred with a few teachers in the school, but none of them was a match for him.

nHe had been looking for the feeling of a breakthrough in his spiritual power, but he still lacked an opportunity.

nThis was why he went to the wilderness to look for a demonic beast to fight. He wanted to find the inspiration for a breakthrough in the battle.

nThis time, he went to the wilderness to look for a seventh-grade demonic beast. Unfortunately, he was not a match for it, and the battle was too dangerous.

nThat was why he returned to Stanford University and happened to run into the National Martial Arts Conference.

nAlthough Grandmaster Thunderblade was very strong, his life was not in danger.

nThat was why Lex had such an idea. He wanted to spar with Grandmaster Thunderblade and try to find inspiration for a breakthrough.

nHis body was filled with fighting spirit, and his eyes were staring straight at Andrew.

nHe only needed one battle!

nUnder the pressure of a grandmaster, he might be able to comprehend some new things.

nAt that time, he would be able to break through to the seventh-grade realm.

nHe would let everyone in the school know that Grandmaster Thunderblade was not the only genius.

nAndrew also heard the discussions around him. His gaze swept over Lex, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

nLex’s aura was already strong enough, reaching the peak of the sixth grade.

nThe other party clearly wanted to use him as a stepping stone and use this battle as an opportunity to break through.

nHow was that possible?

nAndrew did not want to fight to begin with, let alone let others take advantage of him.

n“Teacher Halley!” Andrew said, “I want to admit defeat.”

nAs soon as these words were said, everyone on the field, including Teacher Halley, had shocked expressions on their faces.

n“Why did you admit defeat?” Professor Halley asked, puzzled.

n“Professor Halley, you can investigate. This registration was not my own intention. It was someone else who helped registered in my name. It can be said that I was deceived. So, now I want to withdraw from the martial arts competition.”

nProfessor Halley turned his head to look at him, puzzled.

nProfessor Elena, who was behind him, nodded.

nThat was indeed the case.

nShe was in charge of registering for the martial arts conference. At that time, it was Clayton who had reported Andrew’s name to her.

nTeacher Halley nodded. “That’s good too. As a seventh grade grandmaster, you are indeed not suitable to participate in this martial arts conference.”

nHowever, there was one person who was unwilling, and that was Lex.

nIt was not easy for him to find an opportunity to fight against a grandmaster. How could he let Andrew escape?

nLex took a step forward. The aura on his body surged out like a tidal wave, pressing towards Andrew.

nLex asked with a sneer, “In order not to fight with me, Grandmaster Thunderblade even proposed to withdraw from the competition. Could it be that you are afraid? Or is it that you, a seventh-grade grandmaster, are delusional?”

nHis aura became stronger and stronger.

nThe surrounding students also looked at him with great curiosity. They were curious about his answer.

nAndrew laughed.

nA sixth-grade warrior actually dared to question him like this?

n“I don’t want to fight with you because I’m afraid that your self-esteem will be damaged. The gap between the two of us is too big. There’s no need to spar at all.”

n“You only know how to run your mouth. Why don’t we spar!”

nLex rushed forward at high speed. Countless sword lights appeared on his body and surged in all directions. The longsword in his hand stabbed out a stream of sword aura.

nThe aura was very strong, and he used his ultimate move directly.

nThe longsword in his hand was swift. Not many students around could see it clearly.

nThey could only see a white light streaking across the sky.

nAndrew narrowed his eyes. He was already a little angry. He had withdrawn from the competition, yet this fellow was still bothering him.

n“You are not worthy to fight with me!”

nAndrew did not even take out his weapon. His hand was like a sharp sword as he waved it forward.

nBoom!

nWith a loud and earth-shattering sound, all of Lex’s attacks were disintegrated.

nA terrifying aura enveloped the entire field, and lightning shot out from Andrew’s hand.

n
