However, the morning class time was very short, so the group didn't seem to have enough time to challenge Guan Wen. By the time school ended at noon, almost everyone who participated in the discussion stood up and, instead of rushing out of the classroom, turned their attention to Guan Wen.

The fact that most of the students in the class were looking at Guan Wen was very oppressive. So even though he was sitting next to Guan Wen, Cui Hong couldn't help but lower his head and didn't dare to meet their eyes.

But Guan Wen remained calm, slowly standing up and saying, "Is there something you need?"

The protagonist, Ye Fengyue, who had been chosen by everyone, slowly stood up and walked confidently to him, saying, "Guan Wen, I would like to challenge you. I wonder if you can accept my challenge?"

"Why did you challenge me?" Guan Wen asked, feigning confusion.

"Here's the thing, I recently leveled up to level seven, and everyone wants to see how much my strength has improved. You happen to be one of the few level five ability users in the class, and our strengths are similar, so I'd like to have a spar with you and see if Guan Wen has made any progress recently."

"Although I am also a level 5 ability user, there are quite a few level 5 ability users in the class, and two classmates have recently advanced to level 5 as well. Why not challenge them?"

Hearing Guan Wen's question, Ye Fengyue was stunned for a moment, not expecting Guan Wen to say such a thing. But before he could speak, the class monitor Han Wei stepped forward and said, "Our Fengyue wants to challenge you. Will you accept or not?"

She raised her chin, and despite her short stature, she still maintained an arrogant demeanor, as if Ye Fengyue's challenge was a favor.

Guan Wen showed no mercy to Han Wei: "Who challenged me, you or him? It's none of your business!"

"What did you say!" Upon hearing this, Han Wei's expression changed drastically, and the surrounding classmates, who had been watching the show with amusement, also suddenly changed their expressions.

In their view, Guan Wen's words were too arrogant and tactless.

Ye Fengyue frowned as well: "Classmate Guan, we didn't mean anything by it. If you don't want to accept my challenge, then don't accept it. Why say something hurtful?"

"Who said I wouldn't accept your challenge? Besides, this is between you and me, what does it have to do with anyone else? Some people are blind and want to interfere, so of course I have to reprimand them!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fengyue's face immediately turned cold, and the people around her were even more furious. How could they be happy that Guan Wen dared to speak so hurtfully, especially since he was scolding their class's top genius, Ye Fengyue, and the most beautiful girl, Han Wei?

Furthermore, since they already looked down on Guan Wen, their anger intensified. They all wanted to see Ye Fengyue give Guan Wen a good beating to release their pent-up frustration.

"In that case, you accept my challenge?"

“That’s right, I accept.” Guan Wen nodded.

"Then let's head to the dueling arena!"

In this world of superpowers, duels between two people, or even private fights, are all acceptable as long as they don't cause massive casualties.

After all, this is a world of global superpowers. Although everyone's superpowers have various functions, combat is still the mainstream, since there are still worlds like other dimensions and the Tower of All Heavens to explore.

The dueling hall is a venue set up within the school specifically for dueling, and it is also a place for many people to practice. During competitions, it is converted into a ring.

"Wait!" But at that moment, Guan Wen waved his hand and said.

"What, you're not going to change your mind again, are you?" Han Wei frowned upon hearing this.

"You can challenge me, but could we reschedule for tomorrow? My training tasks are quite demanding today."

Guan Wen had actually planned his training for the day in advance, but these people's duels were all proposed on short notice that morning. He didn't want these guys' last-minute challenges to spoil his enthusiasm for the upcoming seven days of training.

“Alright.” Ye Fengyue nodded, feeling that this kind of thing was always the same. Moreover, he understood that even if Guan Wen dragged it out for a week, he would not be able to catch up with him. Therefore, he was not worried at all that the other party might use a mere amount of cultivation time to surpass him and gain some advantage in the duel.

After all, even if there is some improvement, I can still make a lot of progress in these seven days.

However, the onlookers were a little annoyed. They were already enraged by Guan Wen and wanted to see him get a beating right away, but he decided to postpone it.

Therefore, many people whispered and discussed among themselves, secretly saying that Guan Wen must have chickened out and was afraid of Ye Fengyue's strength.

After returning from his lunch break, Guan Wen continued to hear people's criticisms.

"This guy is courting death for accepting Ye Fengyue's challenge. Does he really think that just because he's luckily reached level five, he can defeat a level seven ability user with such rich combat experience?"

"Exactly, and this guy is so arrogant, like he thinks he's so great. I really want to see him get a good beating soon."

Although they were speaking very softly, Guan Wen still heard them and couldn't help but find it quite ridiculous.

It was this group of people, along with Ye Fengyue, who initially challenged him, wanted to bully and ostracize him. But now it seems the roles have reversed, as if he did something wrong and deserved to be beaten.

All these changes in everyone's hearts were because they initially did not accept Guan Wen's disdain for him.

These people are so ridiculous; right and wrong don't matter to them. All they need is a fist to subdue them.

Guan Wen couldn't help but wonder what kind of expressions these people would have when he beat Ye Fengyue up.

Soon, the afternoon classes ended. Because the senior students needed to make time to enter the Tower of All Heavens, there were usually very few afternoon classes, sometimes one or two. After they ended, he headed straight for the library.

Upon entering the library, they went straight to the paid section. He planned to find a skill to cultivate. Although he had chosen a level cultivation technique last time, level cultivation techniques are, after all, just one type of cultivation technique. They can only improve the cultivation level of one's own fire ability and cannot be truly applied to actual combat.

Even if he mastered all twelve layers of the Thousand Stone Technique, there would be very little he could actually use in combat. Therefore, choosing a powerful book on supernatural abilities was crucial for him. It was precisely because he wanted to learn supernatural abilities that he changed the timing of Ye Fengyue's challenge.
