After asking about the matter, Su Jie asked his assistant to leave. The assistant pushed open the door and walked out, and Su Jie slowly stood up and paced around the office.

"You should also be careful with that old Mediterranean sly. Last time he asked me for an extra spot in the Tower of All Heavens. I guess he did it as a favor in his own name. Heh, it won't be so easy for him to snatch someone from me."

Linqing Prefecture, Lingnan City, Longteng Middle School.

On the school's open-air arena, the once-thunderous crowd was slowly dispersing. Today marked the end of Longteng Middle School's first monthly grade-level competition.

It turns out that the end dates of the grade-level competitions in various middle schools are almost the same. Since the grade-level competitions are held once a month, always at the end of the month, and at the latest, they cannot be later than that time, each school will hold and end the grade-level competitions at roughly the same time.

Of course, the grade-level competitions in different middle schools end at different times. That's why the regional league in Linqing Prefecture was scheduled to be held seven days later. This was to give all the schools and students time to rest and prepare for the competition.

The most dazzling person in this grade competition was a boy named Kong Lei. He was the number one ranked student in the elite class of Longteng Middle School, which was equivalent to Chen Feng's status in Maple Leaf Middle School. However, Lingnan City is a first-level city, which is a level higher than Tiancheng. Therefore, this boy named Kong Lei was a level stronger than Chen Feng.

He is already a level 19 Gale Ability User.

Kong Lei stepped off the stage, full of vigor. At such a young age, possessing a level 19 superpower was a genius among geniuses. Anyone would feel quite proud and full of a sense of accomplishment.

After stepping off the stage, the homeroom teacher stopped the other person and asked him to come to the office with him.

He said goodbye to his friends and followed his homeroom teacher into the office.

"Teacher, is there something you need from me?"

"Kong Lei, you performed exceptionally well in this grade-level competition. You are undoubtedly the number one in Lingnan City. However, whether you can be compared with the elites in the capital is still unknown. But you must guard against arrogance and complacency, and strive to achieve good results in the upcoming regional league. Although most of your opponents in this regional league are not as good as you, you must not lose the game because of arrogance. Do you understand?"

"Yes, teacher, I will be careful. I will never lose a match that I am absolutely certain of winning. Don't worry!" Kong Lei nodded and solemnly assured him.

Upon hearing this, the homeroom teacher smiled, nodded slowly, and waved for him to leave.

After leaving the office, a glint flashed in Kong Lei's eyes. He was a person who loved fighting, so he was full of anticipation for the upcoming regional league.

...

Inside a martial arts academy in Longyue City, Linqing Prefecture.

It was nearly dusk, and the golden rays of the setting sun drifted in through the distant windows, illuminating the dojo floor.

The dojo was now empty except for a tall, burly, dark-skinned figure standing in the center of the ring with a rather petite girl with pigtails.

The two men, each wielding a long stick, were practicing some moves, the sticks cracking as they clashed.

After a few exchanges, the tall, burly, dark-skinned figure extended his palm, signaling to the girl in front of him that she could stop.

Then they put away the long staff and placed it on the weapon rack in the distance. The two left the arena and sat down in the seats below to rest.

"Ling'er, your offense and defense are quite good. Your leg techniques and fist techniques have also made great progress under my guidance. Although you are only level sixteen now and cannot be considered the strongest high school superpower in our Linqing Prefecture, your superpower is spirit, which is a relatively rare superpower. In essence, it has already surpassed the vast majority of superpower users. Your fighting style is ever-changing and difficult to judge by common sense. Therefore, even though you are only level sixteen, I think you will not be at a disadvantage compared to level eighteen or even nineteen superpower users. As long as you unleash your powerful superpower, you have a great chance of winning first place in this regional league."

“I know, Father!” The girl with pigtails nodded, her heart filled with great confidence thanks to her father’s encouragement.

Seeing her like this, the father, a burly man with dark skin beside her, slowly nodded. Although he knew that once the level of a superhuman diverged, there would be a huge difference in strength, he had to give his daughter confidence. If she didn't have confidence on the field, she wouldn't be able to perform well even if she had great strength. On the contrary, if she had a hundred times the confidence, even if she was a little weaker, she might be able to perform exceptionally well and unleash amazing power.

Ye Ling was the top student at Longyue City Elite Middle School. However, their school held its grade competition earlier than Maple Leaf Middle School. Therefore, after the grade competition ended, in order to prepare for the regional league, Ye Ling's father took her back to his family's dojo early in the morning to train and constantly gave her pointers.

Only when the results of today's training satisfied the father did he stop to rest for a while.

Ye Ling knew that her superpower was a relatively rare one. If she could unleash it, it would indeed be able to generate astonishing power. But when facing geniuses who were even stronger than herself, could she really unleash power beyond the ordinary?
