26 Top Ten High Schools Competition pt 2

As soon as she saw who Fatty Hao's opponent was, Long Yin felt trouble brewing. That was because her enhanced perception could clearly feel his cultivation of Core Formation Stage Eight was fake, and he was actually Golden Core Stage Two cultivator. There was only one explanation for why that was - a plot! Fatty Hao was in trouble.

Chen Hao entered the arena, his skin gaining a shiny bronze hue as he shouted:

- Let me see how you get past this! Bronze Boar Body!

Zhang Shi smirked, then aimed a punch at Chen Hao's Dantian.

Outside the stage Long Yin wasn't idle. First, she used the school's emergency signal against sexual harassment to get the attention of Headmaster, then she threw him a paper crane with her findings, before jumping in the direction of the arena.

Headmaster Tang could be called many things but definitely not an idiot. Seeing Long Yin acting like that he didn't get angry, but immediately caught the message, then read it. As he read his pupils dilated, then his whole face reddened, full pressure of peak Mortal Transcendence cultivator erupting as he bellowed:

- #2 High, you dare?! If a single hair on his head is harmed I'll cripple all of your geniuses, even if it means I get executed!

As the spectators looked at him in confusion, on the stage, right as Zhang Shi's fist went past Chen Hao's block straight into his Dantian area, a strong Golden Core pressure errupted. Zhang Shi infused Qi into his attack, realeasing his hidden cultivation, aiming to cripple Chen Hao "accidentally".

Zhao Chi wasn't idle either, as he released his late Mortal Transcendence cultivation pressure, blocking Headmaster Tang from acting.

- What are you getting agitated about? As they say fists don't have eyes, accidents during fights can happen. It's not my fault my genius is stronger than yours.

Tang San almost went mad with fury, though he calmed down when he noticed a blur, as Long Yin Astral Slipped right in front of Chen Hao. He only snorted:

- Hmph, #1 High forfeits this match, tell him to stop. You're lucky it's just training equipment and you have to try hard to maim others, or you'd be returning without students.

Zhao Chi chukled, then responded:

- "Oops", I think it's too late to stop him, don't worry I'll pay the hospital bills.

Everyone held their breath, expecting Chen Hao to suffer, when suddenly a blurry figure appeared in front of him, slamming her fist into Zhang Shi's attack. Upon the collision of fists an enormous pressure of collision of two Golden Core attacks errupted in a shockwave, slamming into Chen Hao, knocking him out of the ring coughing blood. Long Yin Astral Slipped again to the fallen Fatty to administer first aid. He received a shock to his internal organs and would have to retire from the tournament if he ever faced someone with cultivation stage similar or stronger than his, but he was fine otherwise. Seeing that he was pretending to be unconscious she said with a smirk:

- Oi, oi, I've been meaning to find a sparring partner for my Leg Arts, I wonder how strong your Bronze Boar Body's ass is, maybe it would make a good practice target?

Chen Hao immediately "awakened" into a full-fledged seiza kowtow:

- Aah no, spare me Big Sister, this Fatty wants to live to his University Exams.

- Hmph, if you want to take your exams then start paying attention you idiot. What if I couldn't rescue you in time? Don't worry I was just joking, I don't have Leg Arts.

She then looked at Zhang Shi with a frown.

-You, the scheming clown. You'd better forfeit, or I'll flatten you in finals.

She then noticed a certain person everyone overlooked, her brother. While she considered Fatty Hao a friend, her brother was different. Those two got along really well and, while she was in seclusion, they did many tasks together to earn merits, to the point that Long Tian declared Fatty Hao his sworn brother. She saw that he was silently boiling in anger, looking at Zhang Shi while slightly leaking killing intent.

She didn't have time to look much longer as her name was called to face #2 High's third strongest student. As Long Yin wasn't in the mood she just smacked him with enough strength to leave him half-dead after he landed. She jumped down the stage while the audience stared at her as if she was an alien.

After a few more matches the time has come for the last student of #1 High to fight, as Long Tian's name was called. His opponent was Shang Yun, #2 High's second strongest student at Core Formation Ninth Stage, who would become a strong opponent for Long Tian who was still at the peak of Seventh Stage.

Both contestants entered the arena taking the basic stances. Yin noticed the unfamiliar stance of Long Tian and smirked.

'Oh hoo, what is this, this doesn't look like any of the stances he uses in combat classes. Is it time for a cheat reveal? '

As if answering her thoughts a faint outline of monkey formed out of stars formed around Long Tian.

- Star Lord Art! Year of the Monkey! Monkey King Fist!

could be heard on stage as Long Tian attacked. Shang Yun didn't seem fazed, responding with a fist and shout of his own:

- Take this! Flash Fist!

A ball of Qi formed above his hand, bursting into a flash afterwards. Unfortunately for him Long Tian had monkey's instincts to rely on, thanks to his technique, so he shielded his eyes in time. As their fists met, a frown appeared on Shang Yun's face, as he discovered he was equally matched in strength, despite the difference in cultivation bases. He didn't have much time to be frustrated though, as his face met with Long Tian's shoe.

- This is what you get for using cheesy techniques! Monkey Climbes the Tree!

Shang Yun slowly slided backwards, blood flowing from his broken nose, as he tried to keep standing after the blow. His eyes turned bloodshot as he clenched his teeth before roaring:

- You peasant! You ruined my face! How am I going to get a girlfriend?! Berserk Art!

Shang Yun's eyes turned blood red, his muscles bulging as he dove into another clash with Long Tian. People started shaking their heads, expecting his quick defeat, however the clash went different than last time, with Long Tian getting pushed back. The comentators were quick to explain:

- Berserk Art is #2 High's signature life saving art. It increases the power, taking the reasoning from its user. It's weakness is the short duration of 10 minutes and strain it puts on muscles.

The clashes on stage continiued for another 6 minutes, with Long Tian slowly getting pushed towards the arena's boundary. However as the fight seemed about to be lost, a slight glimmer of starligh formed around him. Long Tian seemed to have entered a trance, his strikes growing stronger as he no longer was pushed back, a very faint silhouette of Ox forming behind him.
