Jack Clark surveyed his surroundings as everyone’s heads filled his vision.

These students, like them, were gathered in groups according to their classes, forming more than forty teams, and the estimated number of competitors would be around five hundred.

It was Jack’s first time seeing so many True Martial Arts freshmans. They were all strangers since they usually practice in different buildings.

Besides, the students who had just established their Foundation in a few days chose to give up, otherwise, the number of participants would even be higher.

“Silence!!”

As the broadcast rang out, the entire audience went quiet.

Following the sound, they saw more than a dozen teachers sitting on the main stage in the distance, including James Clark and Lori Parma.

In the middle of the teachers, a middle-aged man with a full beard held a microphone and said in a deep voice, “I am Vernon Leinster, the class teacher of Class 1, and the referees for today’s competition are the teachers present here.”

“Cultivation is a very boring task, especially for freshmen like you. Many people gradually slack off after experiencing the novelty of it.”

“That’s why the official organization has arranged this competition to let you recognize the gap between you and your peers, and by acknowledging the shame, you can strive harder in your cultivation.”

“You have no idea how much it costs our country to train you.”

“Don’t take this for granted, you should know that every resource you use is earned by other soldiers who are fighting on the battlefield.”

“At the same time, each of these cultivation methods was created after the founders exhausted their mind and body. The division of initial access rights exists because those who waste their opportunities have no right to enjoy them.”

“Of course, when I say ‘wasters,’ I am not referring to students who establish their Foundation slowly, but to those who become complacent, lazy, and unambitious after obtaining cultivation opportunities .”

“In the next three years, these people will be gradually eliminated from the school.”

Vernon Leinster said solemnly: “With that said, let me add two more points.”

“On the internet these days, there are widespread rumors that those who cannot establish their Foundation within a month have no cultivation talent or have only low talent if their Foundation was established just in time.”

“To me, these statements are completely nonsense. Establishing a Foundation is just a beginning, so what if it is a bit slow?”

“You should know that cultivation is a continuous process of self-improvement and breaking through limits. In the late period, every breakthrough of a realm is calculated in increments of ten or twenty years.”

“Every breakthrough of a Major Realm is a sublimation and a transformation of one’s life level. It’s incomparable to the one or two months slower start in Foundation Establishment.”

“Everybody, remember that cultivation is a long, tough journey. Only those with determination and perseverance can make it to the end.”

“The initial pace is just like stumbling blocks along the road that you can easily crush with only a little effort.”

“If you cannot even endure this little bit of grinding, no matter whether you cultivate or enter other industries, you will be mediocre in your entire life.”

Many students who had established their Foundation within a month were inspired by the passionate words of the class teacher named Vernon Leinster.

Even some freshmen who had given up in the audience stands once again ignited their faith in cultivation.

That’s right, they were only half a month or a month slower, so why couldn’t they cultivate?

“Alright, it’s about time, and now I’ll tell you the rules of the competition.”

“The competition is divided into three rounds. In the first round, everyone will fight consecutively against six opponents, each round lasting ten minutes. One point added for a win and one point deducted for a loss.”

“Teachers will determine the winner and loser based on their fighting performance if there is no outcome within ten minutes.”

“After the first round, the top 200 scorers will advance.”

“The second round will be a Martial Arts Arena defense battle. Each person only has one challenge opportunity, and defending against four opponents will be counted as a successful defense.”

“After determining the Top 50, the third round of free challenge matches will begin. If you are not satisfied with your current arena ranking, you can challenge the top ten.”

“Winners continue, losers’ ranking remains unchanged.”

“By the way, although the positions of the top 50 are different, the Contribution Points rewarded every month are the same.”

“Alright, let the competition begin. Everyone, based on the names displayed behind the arena numbers on the big screen, starts the first round.”

“I am at No.13 Arena.”

“I am at No.9 Arena…”

“I am at No.45…”

“I am at No.2 Arena, haha, Class Leader, Jack, I’ll go first.” Saying that, Justin Welan excitedly ran towards the No.2 Challenge Platform in the distance.

Jack then saw his name at the No.49 arena as well.

After greeting Crystal and the others, Jack hurriedly jogged over.

There was already a female student standing on the arena. She was ordinary-looking and said politely when she saw Jack hopping onto the arena, “Hey classmate, shall we have a simple friendly exchange without weapons?”

“Sure.” Jack nodded, and placed his knife at the side of the arena.

“Attention, No.49 Arena, the competition will officially start in three seconds.”

With the electronic announcement, Jack and the female student both looked serious and silently counted to three in their hearts. The girl opposite suddenly shouted.

“Be careful.” The moment her voice fell, the girl erupted with incredible speed, even faster than Sawyer Levin.

It was clear that her main cultivation method was in speed.

But… Bam!

Jack blocked the girl’s high kick with his left arm, not moving an inch, disregarding the girl’s explosive force of several hundred kilograms.

At the moment she was blocked, the girl twisted her body in mid-air and performed a triple kick at lightning speed, targeting Jack’s head and neck weak points.

But all of her attacks were effortlessly blocked by Jack, who reacted even faster.

Just as the girl’s strength ran out on her third kick, and while she was retreating mid-air, Jack moved like lightning, grabbing her ankle with one arm like an elephant trunk.action

Ah! The girl in mid-air was shocked.

Immediately she felt an enormous force attacking her, and she was directly thrown by Jack more than ten meters away, crashing down at the bottom of the arena with a loud bang.

The girl falling from the sky startled several nearby students.

Looking at the girl still dazed on the ground, unable to stand up due to her sore butt, Jack smiled slightly: “Thank you for letting me win.”

This girl was more powerful than Sawyer Levin, specializing in leg techniques and speed as well.

Unfortunately, she encountered Jack, whose speed, strength, and reaction exceeded the First Layer Heaven Limit, and was instantly crushed and defeated.

The teacher’s voice came through the arena’s loudspeakers: “No.49 Arena, student Jack Clark wins, the second round of the competition will start after an eight-minute break.”

Jack looked up, saw the camera on the pillar, and smiled: “Teacher, I think I can start the next match without resting.”

It wasn’t that Jack was showing off, but that the girl he just fought was too weak, and there was no need to waste time resting.

“…Fine.” the teacher on the Main Stage hesitated for a moment.

Immediately, a burly youth with a heavy hammer weapon on his back excitedly ran to the No.49 arena and jumped onto the stage.
