Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 59 Corridor Defense? The Might of the Divine Dragon's Blazing Flames!

Silence is Cambridge today.

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Feng: "..."

Xu Yuan: "..."

Everyone present, including Jiang Feng himself, was stunned.

Looking at the cracked stone tablet, no more numbers were being generated on the screen. Everyone wondered what kind of freak this was, that it had managed to do something that even a genius with Daoist bones had failed to do.

Jiang Feng, the person in question, stood there, cold sweat pouring down his face. He wondered how this thing could be so fragile, and whether the school would ask him to pay for compensation.

Normally speaking, even with over 300 passive stacks, the power Jiang Feng unleashed with his Spirit Bone form shouldn't have been as exaggerated as Zhang Ruanruan's.

However, with the triple boost from Hextech, even if the effect on his basic attacks isn't as dramatic as that of martial arts skills, the increased stats still surpass Zhang Ruanruan's.

(For example, Zhang Ruanruan's strength value is 10,000, and Jiang Feng's strength value is 7000 after combining with Hex. Pure strength is not as exaggerated as doubling with martial arts skills, but it is more than twice, which is 14,000.)

On the high platform, Xu Yuan laughed heartily.

"Not bad, not bad, putting this kid last was definitely the right choice, hahaha."

There was no trace of reluctance in his eyes, only a bright smile.

As the principal of No. 13 Middle School, he naturally knew Ge Cheng from No. 1 Middle School. During their phone call, Ge Cheng spoke highly of Jiang Feng, which piqued his interest as the principal.

"Principal, this stone tablet..."

The vice principal standing to the side couldn't help but curse Xu Yuan and Jiang Feng in his heart, but his face showed considerable heartache, after all, he was the one in charge of all the school's expenses.

"It's alright." Ge Cheng waved his hand dismissively. "Spiritual treasures aren't unrepairable. We can just go to the upper city and find a [Mechanic] to re-engrave the array. Otherwise, we can't expect this kid to pay for it, can we?"

The vice principal's lips twitched, forcing out a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Okay."

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief after learning from his test tutor that no compensation was needed, and then inquired about how the results would be handled.

The test instructor smiled and announced the agreed-upon result from all parties.

"This stone tablet is a high-level spiritual object. Although it was already somewhat damaged, the fact that you were able to destroy it all by yourself demonstrates your strength."

"Based on the combined assessment of these two qualifications and strength, you rank first."

......

With these results, the morning's tests came to a successful conclusion.

During lunchtime, Jiang Feng found Zhang Ruanruan eating in a corner of the cafeteria. At that moment, the ranking list on the equipment of all the students participating in the assessment had been updated.

Jiang Feng ranked 1st, Zhang Ruanruan ranked 2nd, Ding Xiuqi ranked 3rd, Guo Chun... Li Wei ranked 14th, Lin Lu ranked 28th...

Almost half of the top 50 people were acquaintances of Jiang Feng.

"What happened?" Zhang Ruanruan stuffed a huge piece of meat into her stomach in one bite, holding the equipment in one hand, and asked indistinctly.

"How come you're number one in the time it takes me to eat?"

Jiang Feng looked at her chubby cheeks and thought to himself that even if a pretty girl eats roughly, she's still cute.

"Huh?" Zhang Ruanruan was a little puzzled when she saw Jiang Feng staring blankly.

"oh oh."

Jiang Feng came to his senses and recounted with a smile what had just happened at the martial arts arena.

Zhang Ruanruan listened, finished the last bite of meat, and then her skin became moist. The next moment, her greasy lips immediately became clean.

"I really underestimated you."

As she spoke, her reddish-brown eyes brightened slightly; only those who knew her well understood that she was now serious.

When I first met you, you were just an ordinary person with a good character but very poor talent. I thought that our interaction would end in that polluted area.

"I never expected that in less than a month, you would have reached this level, even surpassing me in the assessment rankings."

"Such achievements are rare, not only in Donglin, but also in Tianyuan Star, the center of the entire Southern Star Region. As far as I know, only a handful of people of the same age can achieve this... and that doesn't even include me."

Zhang Ruanruan, with clear, bright eyes, said seriously:

"Jiang Feng, from now on, I will truly consider you a rival."

"I hope you won't let me down in the days to come."

The girl's words were firm and resolute, and Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback.

After a long pause, he nodded seriously as well and said:

"good!"

......

After lunch, the afternoon test began as scheduled.

This is precisely the [Corridor Defense]

The 207 students who passed the initial screening were simultaneously directed into a teleportation array. Once everyone was ready, the runes around the teleportation array shone brightly. Everyone felt a sudden white light before their eyes, and when their vision returned, they found themselves standing alone in front of a heavy wooden door.

The surroundings were pitch black, and in the distance stretched a distorted boundary.

At that moment, a voice reached everyone's ears.

"The beast tide begins in one minute."

In the somewhat empty training ground, the instructors looked at the light screen floating in the sky and began to exchange ideas.

"I have to say, the assessment designed by the school this year is quite interesting," someone said.

"Yes, the assessment itself is actually very simple. You only need to deal with some minor or first-level aberrations. Any student whose strength exceeds the second level of Body Tempering can easily last 15 minutes in this corridor."

Someone laughed and said, "Of the 207 students present, only 17 are still at the first level of Body Tempering. The rest have already met the minimum requirements. However, if they want to enter the top 50 based on their points, they need more than just defense."

"Of course." The one who spoke was Fang Yuan, the tutor of the top class. His eyes were fixed intently on the screen as he spoke.

"A secondary aberration is worth 1 point, and a primary aberration is worth 5 points. After the first two rounds of testing, Jiang Feng, who came in first, only got 207 points, which is equivalent to just over 40 primary aberrations."

"If you want to rank in the top 50, then this second round of assessment won't just test your 'defense,' it'll test your initiative... huh?"

Before Fang Yuan could finish speaking, the test results were already displayed on the screen.

Jiang Feng, 777 mutants, scored 654 points.

The time is 4 minutes.

"?"

4 minutes ago.

All the students who participated in this assessment, unless they were fools, understood the true purpose of the assessment.

So, the moment the countdown ended and the wooden door swung open, none of the martial artists whose strength reached the fourth level of Body Tempering or above chose to stand still and passively defend themselves. Instead, they rushed into the door!

But the problem is—

Jiang Feng thought so too.

He rushed into the area where the monsters were gathered. Looking at the horde of monsters, he felt a pang of regret. Then, he circulated his qi and blood, gathering streams of true fire in his fist. He then charged up his strength and slammed it forward!

Fifteen true dragon souls, accompanied by the Flame Collapse Fist, crashed into the monster horde. Under the crushing force of the ultimate power, the damage from the splashing of the divine dragon flames alone was enough to instantly kill a level one aberration!

Ding Xiuqi and the others were either of similar combat strength to him or had more methods, but... when it came to the speed of killing monsters, with the blessing of [Divine Dragon Flame], he was absolutely overwhelming!

He threw punch after punch.

15, 30, 60... 150, 300 fire dragons exploded from the spot where he was, bouncing and surging through the monster horde, like a grand and dazzling fireworks show.

It only lasted 3 minutes.

Before the others could even throw a few punches, all the monsters on the scene died under the dragon's blazing flames.
