You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

"Yes, ranked even before Ye Qingzhou."

"Hiss~"

Yuan Zhiyi took a sharp breath upon hearing this: "This guy is terrifying. Ye Qingzhou is already a monster, and I didn't expect there to be someone even more skilled."

Both of them firmly believed in the rankings from the World Martial Arts Discussion, after all, it's the authoritative organization in the Martial Arts World of Dongji Kingdom, surely they wouldn't fake it?

Screech~

The door of the luxurious bus opened, and Fang Liang, the leading teacher from Changjun Middle School, led twelve young martial arts newcomers out in a row. Among them, two people were particularly noticeable.

One of them was an old acquaintance of Ye Qingzhou, the third place winner of the Sword Fighting Competition, Liu Dingjian, the third young master of the Mingjian Group.

The other person wasn't unfamiliar either—he's currently ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List, a rising martial arts prodigy at Changjun Middle School—Qin Haoyu.

He had a gentle and refined demeanor, his posture tall and slender, more like a scholar filled with literature than a powerful martial artist.

But it was precisely this refined young man who, not long ago, had overwhelmingly defeated the former top student of Changjun Middle School, Liu Dingjian, winning the title of "Changjun's Strongest."

It's important to know that Changjun Middle School is the top-ranked famous school in Star City, and its strength is recognized by everyone.

Therefore, Qin Haoyu becoming "Changjun's Strongest" also means he is the "Strongest in Star City" among high school students, and there are not many in the country who can match him.

At this moment, Fang Liang had already heard from Zeng Jixia and Yuan Zhiyi about Linjiang First High School and Zhicheng Middle School coming to Yuelu Mountain for training.

The name "Ye Qingzhou" was not unfamiliar to Fang Liang.

Previously, he had attempted, in his capacity as the head of the admissions office, to recruit Ye Qingzhou to Changjun, but unfortunately, because Ye Qingzhou "asked for a lion's share," Fang Liang refused.

Now that the Hidden Dragon List was released, Ye Qingzhou ranked in the top ten.

Fang Liang couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

At that time, the conditions Ye Qingzhou offered to recruit a champion of the Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition certainly didn't seem worthwhile for Changjun.

But being in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List is an entirely different matter.

"What a pity, it's too late to regret now. Zhao Dezhu, that bastard, is definitely on high alert, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky to poach him now."

Although he was somewhat regretful, when Fang Liang looked at Qin Haoyu, he instantly felt much better: "Fortunately, Changjun also has its own Hidden Dragon, Qin Haoyu's ranking is above Ye Qingzhou, sixth place is definitely stronger than seventh, the advantage in this provincial competition is with me."

"Welcome to Zhongnan University."

Zeng Jixia and Yuan Zhiyi first exchanged greetings with Fang Liang, then couldn't help but curiously observe Qin Haoyu.

After all, Qin Haoyu is now famous nationwide, and in their eyes, he is a formidable character ranked higher than Ye Qingzhou on the Hidden Dragon List, making it impossible for them not to pay attention.

It happened to be mealtime, so the group from Changjun Middle School was also taken to the second floor cafeteria of Zhongnan University.

"Liu Dingjian! Over here! Over here!"

"Leon?"

Liu Dingjian recognized this former opponent from the Sword Fighting Competition. After seeking permission from Fang Liang, he went over to greet him.

"Haha, the Four Sword Fighting Strong have gathered again."

Then Leon looked at Liu Dingjian intensely: "I've gotten a lot stronger recently, how about we spar after eating?"

This year's Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition had Ye Qingzhou as the champion, Zhu Jinfeng as the runner-up, Liu Dingjian in third, and Leon in fourth, truly gathering the top four again.

Liu Dingjian, not one to shy away from battle, nodded and accepted Leon's challenge: "Sure."

However, the opponent Liu Dingjian most wanted to defeat was still Ye Qingzhou.

Leon seemed to see through Liu Dingjian's thoughts and clicked his tongue: "If you want to challenge Master Ye, you'd better not eat, otherwise you'll end up vomiting it all out."

Liu Dingjian, hearing this, remained unfazed, maintaining his calm expression.

Ye Qingzhou then asked Liu Dingjian about information on Qin Haoyu: "I heard your Changjun Middle School has produced a Hidden Dragon, can you tell me about him?"

"..."

Liu Dingjian was speechless, what kind of person blatantly gathers intelligence like this?

However, there was no need to hide some general information, so Liu Dingjian directly shared what he could: "Qin Haoyu originally studied under Divine Doctor Zhang Shuhua, and is a member of the Jishi Medical Association, specializing in the field of Medical Skill, originally positioned as support. But after coming out of Yanling Grotto Heaven, his strength increased rapidly, now he possesses Professional Level combat power."

"So, you lost to him?"

Ye Qingzhou rubbed his chin, beginning to analyze.

Liu Dingjian clenched his fists, feeling frustrated: 'When did I ever say I lost to Qin Haoyu! Can you please stop jumping to conclusions!'

The common saying goes, 'Fight without hitting the face.'

If it weren't for the fact that I can't beat you, I would definitely show you why the flowers are so red!

But such things, no matter how resentful Liu Dingjian felt, he could only think in his mind.

After all, he is a noble person, a person free from vulgar hobbies, who would not stoop to the level of someone like Ye Qingzhou.

...

The arrival of Changjun Middle School didn't make much of a splash.

Although everyone hailed from different cities, and they would become opponents in the upcoming Phoenix Cup, privately, they were still decent people, the type who would smile and greet each other upon meeting. There was no need to make tensions rise to the point of hostility just because of the upcoming competition.

After all, competition is competition, unity is unity, and they shouldn't be confused with one another.
