234: An unexpected defeat is still a defeat

“No, that’s not right.”

Yan Bujin suddenly thought of something and said.

“The information you’ve provided is problematic. If Chen Du was truly a student with a Life Strength index of 100, even if he caught up by consuming a life spring,”

“His original foundation would have been at least 95 points. How could his Life Strength Rank have only been 12.1 during the competition?”

“Let alone comparing him to Gao Zhongwang, even compared to other Grade A students, he was lagging behind.”

“This is illogical.”

Upon hearing this, Pang Tian Ce immediately opened a special page on his wristband without a word.

It meticulously recorded the time and place where Chen Du’s Life Strength index was detected as 100 points, and this was reported to the three great powerhouses.

Such a thing could not be faked.

“There are two reasons why Chen Du’s Life Strength index was low.”

“First, his starting point was too poor. Gao Zhongwang’s parents are the richest people in the Sixth Ecological Zone. His father, Gao Tianyi, and mother, Ye Lingshuang, are both Sky Soaring Warriors.”

“In contrast, Chen Du, according to his file, has a mother, Li Qingqing, who is not a Martial Artist, and a father, Chen Juncai, who graduated from an ordinary Martial Arts University.”

“At his Peak, he was merely a Rank 12 Martial Artist, and later withdrew from the Ranks of Martial Artists due to injury.”

“There are two sons in the family; Chen Du is the eldest, and he has a younger brother, Chen Qun.”

“Compared to Gao Zhongwang, the educational environment Chen Du had since childhood and the resources he received were, without exaggeration, as different as heaven and earth.”

“Second, Chen Du never consumed a life spring!”

“His Life Talent index was initially only 60 points, the lowest among all Grade A students.”

“Later, in the Seventh Ecological Circle, with the help of the Technology Martial Hall branch,”

“Chen Du’s Life Strength index was raised to the limit of artificial intervention: 80 points!”

“Subsequently, during his Breakthrough from Quasi-Warrior to Martial Artist, he achieved an incredible life leap, turning 80 points into 100 points!”

“Although it sounds incredible, it is indeed a fact.”

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.

From 60 points to 80 points, and from 80 points to 100, either of these was an incredible feat.

And Chen Du actually achieved such incredible feats twice in a row!

This could no longer be described merely as Genius!

Calling it a miracle would not be an exaggeration!

It was at this moment that Ka Tu thoroughly felt he had been played!

Damn you, Pang Tian Ce!

Earlier, he told me, ‘I don’t even know this student! I just got carried away by the atmosphere and wanted to have some fun on a whim’!

You’ve probably figured out the color of Chen Du’s underwear by now, haven’t you?

And you say you don’t know him!

Yan Bujin frowned, still unyielding, defending like an obsessed fan of Gao Zhongwang:

“Alright, the same Life Strength index, I’ll concede that.”

“Chen Du’s Mental Energy is higher than Gao Zhongwang’s, I’ll concede that too.”

“But Martial Skill, I do not admit!”

“Gao Zhongwang has both the Evil Fruit Binding Chain and Resentment Chain, two Second-Order Martial Skills, both at 9% Entrance to the Microscopic!”

“If he specialized in one, he could definitely achieve over ten percent Entrance to the Microscopic.”

“And Chen Du just had a flash of inspiration during the competition, making continuous progress by luck, just like his additional Awakening of two Mystic Treasures.”

“One can only say he is a lucky person!”

“Furthermore, how can you guarantee that Chen Du will continue to Awaken Mystic Treasures later?”

“What if Chen Du fizzles out later, and Gao Zhongwang continuously Awakens two or even three Mystic Treasures? What would you say then?”

“Historically, there have been such precedents.”

“But that’s a matter for later, how can you count it in advance?”

After listening to Yan Bujin’s statement, Huang Yang frowned and replied.

“You also know it’s for later?”

Yan Bujin finished speaking, revealing a look of having achieved a cunning scheme.

“The Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition, what it compares is everyone’s hard power at the same point in time.”

“That Pang fellow is quite eloquent, directly substituting it with potential for me.”

“Future matters cannot be clearly explained by such paper data.”

“Moreover, to put it bluntly, there’s even the possibility of dying young!”

“You...”

Huang Yang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but on second thought, what the other party said was indeed correct.

This reward is for the Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition. Even if it ends early now, they need to find someone with the hard power of a champion.

To put it harshly, if it weren’t for this Karabo incident, Chen Du would have lost to Gao Zhongwang twice!

Pang Tian Ce also frowned at this.

He hadn’t expected this straightforward, seemingly boisterous, and outspoken Yan Bujin to have such a meticulous mind.

However, Pang Tian Ce was not prepared to give up. As someone who had interacted with Chen Du several times, coupled with Chen Du’s performance in this competition,

He firmly believed that Chen Du’s potential was above Gao Zhongwang’s. The only thing he lacked, which prevented him from winning now, was time!

Although he hadn’t taught Chen Du, as the Vice-Principal of Qilin Martial Arts University, he had an obligation to secure better resources for his student.

This was not for personal gain; he genuinely believed that Chen Du deserved these resources.

However, Pang Tian Ce was not flustered. He pretended to think for a few seconds, then spoke:

“In that case, let’s vote...”

At this moment, Ma Rui, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:

“I agree with Pang Tian Ce’s decision.”

“What?!”

Yan Bujin was startled by the words. The one who raised an objection was actually Ma Rui?

Others might be understandable, but Ma Rui was from the same school as him and Gao Zhongwang.

“Ma Rui, you...”

Yan Bujin was about to say something when Ma Rui raised a hand to stop him:

“Both of you have valid points.”

Ma Rui finished speaking and looked at Pang Tian Ce:

“My agreement with you does not mean I support you.”

“I am doing this for the sake of that child, Gao Zhongwang.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Pang Tian Ce’s eyes narrowed slightly. Based on his understanding of Ma Rui, he vaguely guessed what was coming next.

“That child, Gao Zhongwang, has had it too easy. He has never lost, and to speak somewhat arrogantly, he has never even encountered an obstacle.”

“Of course, I mean among his peers.”

“His talent is stronger than those former Grade S, even including myself!”

“While I am very fortunate that High Martial Civilization has produced such a Genius, it’s precisely because I was once such a Genius myself...”

“Cough, cough...”

Ka Tu, from Black Dragon Martial Arts University, couldn’t help but interrupt:

“Don’t include personal opinions!”

Ma Rui gave him a glare, paused, and continued:

“The path of a true powerhouse, to put it plainly, is actually largely the same.”

“It is the path of a Genius who constantly overcomes obstacles, grows stronger with each setback, and continuously improves themselves.”

“Although the three great powerhouses have extremely high talent, to say whether there have been others with higher talent over the years is certainly true, but their achievements are not as high as theirs.”

“A Genius of Gao Zhongwang’s Rank is rarely seen, perhaps once in many years.”

“I am truly afraid that he will end up being just an Advanced Aerial Warrior, so I desperately wish for Gao Zhongwang to experience a defeat.”

“Although this time doesn’t count as a complete defeat, he did indeed lose.”

“An unexpected defeat is still a defeat!”
