Qin Xin's acceptance of all students' challenges instantly ignited the entire outer academy.

Seeing Qin Xin's arrogance, some veteran students also issued challenges, which Qin Xin accepted without hesitation. However, he set the stakes for all the matches at one thousand points.

When Jin Yuanbao and the others saw that among the students who came to challenge him were many veteran students who had already made a name for themselves in the outer academy, they began to advise Qin Xin to only accept some of the weaker ones, but Qin Xin did not intend to do so.

He was currently in the outer courtyard, intending to cultivate peacefully, improve his strength, and enter the inner courtyard as soon as possible to find the whereabouts of the strange fire. However, trouble kept coming his way, all because he was too low-key. This was a good opportunity to establish his authority, improve his combat skills through competition, and have a lot of points as stakes. Such an opportunity to kill three birds with one stone was rare.

Qin Xin's first day of arena challenges.

Nearly a thousand students from the three martial arts academies came to the students' arena. The area around the arena was already packed with people, and many martial artists even set up betting games specifically for this purpose.

Of course, the students did not think Qin Xin would win, because the first challenger he would face was Tong Yang from Class 5 of the Beast Martial Arts Academy.

This person is an absolute ruthless individual in the Beast Martial Academy. He once spent a whole month alone in the Dead Leaf Forest to cultivate his martial arts. There are even rumors that he once fought a level four demon beast single-handedly and won, dragging the beast's corpse back to the academy, which shocked many students and earned him the nickname "Butcher".

Qin Xin, on the other hand, did not return to his own courtyard, but stayed in the classroom attic, waiting for the start of the arena challenge.

However, beside him, Jin Yuanbao kept telling him about the opponents Qin Xin was facing.

“Mowen, you spent some time in the martial arts arena before. Tell the boss what things to pay attention to.”

Jin Yuanbao seemed a little tired from talking, and turned his head to the other side. He had explosive muscles, and although he was also wearing school uniform, he tied his shirt around his waist, making him look somewhat rugged.

"Actually, there's not much to be careful about. As long as you don't harm your opponent's life, the academy allows students to use any means in the competition."

A muffled voice came from Mowen.

"Well, it's about time, let's go."

Qin Xin spoke calmly, then opened his eyes, closed them to rest, and felt much more comfortable with the abundant energy.

~~~~~~

In the arena located at the intersection of the three martial arts academies, some students had already grabbed their spots early on, but Qin Xin had not yet arrived, causing some to become anxious, and some even started to jeer.

"Qin Xin wouldn't have run away, would he?"

"They must have been terrified by the name 'Butcher'!"

"Hahaha……"

However, right after this commotion...

"He's here, Qin Xin is here."

"So what if he comes? The butcher will definitely chop off his arm!"

Amidst gasps of surprise and disdainful remarks, Qin Xin and several students from Class 17 walked slowly over.

His handsome face showed no particular expression, and after hearing the sounds around him, Qin Xin smiled calmly.

"Wow, I didn't expect Qin Xin to be so handsome."

"I think so too."

After several infatuated voices rang out, Qin Xin quickly incurred the resentment of many male students.

On the arena surrounded by a crowd, a tall man with downcast eyes and a long scar running down his neck, who looked rather unsettling, suddenly opened his eyes upon seeing the young man arrive, and a terrifying aura of blood energy emanated from him.

"You are Qin Xin!"

The man looked Qin Xin up and down with a cold expression and spoke.

"Exactly!"

Qin Xin took a light step and, using the recoil of his true energy, slowly landed on the arena, speaking calmly.

"My name is Tong Yang, nicknamed Butcher, ranked thirtieth on the Hidden Dragon List!"

Without any further words, Tong Yang directly channeled his true energy, and through the flow of his two true acupoints, a giant bear, as if cast from black iron, appeared behind him. The bear's eyes faintly emitted a bloody light, as if it had experienced countless killings.

"Six-Star Martial Spirit: Iron-Backed Azure Bear!"

Seeing the giant bear that appeared behind Tong Yang, Qin Xin learned some of the characteristics of this martial spirit through Jin Yuanbao's introduction.

As his inner energy surged, a black staff surrounded by cyan and red aura condensed in Qin Xin's hand. With a light swing, the inner energy made a "whooshing" sound as it rubbed against the air.

"Show me your strongest move! Otherwise, you won't have a chance!"

Tong Yang spoke in a low voice, already poised to strike.

"To deal with you, I don't need to use my full strength." Qin Xin shook his head calmly.

"Hmph! Arrogant! Then take this!"

With a soft shout, Tong Yang clenched his fists and charged forward.

Tong Yang's attacks appeared clumsy, but they were extremely fast. The explosive power contained in his fists made Qin Xin dare not be careless.

With a light flick of his black staff, several fiery blades shot out.

However, Tong Yang easily neutralized the fire blade with his fists, and he burst out of the energy ripples of the fire blade like a raging giant bear.

"Mystic-rank martial art: Demon Bear Fist".

With a low shout, Tong Yang's huge fist slammed directly towards Qin Xin's face.

Qin Xin sensed Tong Yang's attack direction through his spiritual sense and dodged at an unusual angle.

"Thump!"

The punch missed its mark and slammed directly onto the ground of the arena. The violent impact caused the students around the arena to sway a few times.

Taking advantage of the opening, Qin Xin immediately turned around, and the black stick in his hand suddenly struck Tong Yang's back, along with a huge pale yellow fire blade that also crashed down.

"Wildfire Hundred Slashes!"

After a soft sound passed by, Tong Yang's attack missed. Before he could turn around, he felt a scorching heat coming from behind him.

"boom!"

The collision between the fire blade and flesh produced a muffled sound. Because of his second-level Qi Opening Realm cultivation, Tong Yang concentrated all his true Qi on his back, thus dodging Qin Xin's martial arts technique.

"It's not over yet." A slight smile appeared on Qin Xin's lips.

Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion rang out in the arena, and Qin Xin quickly took a few steps back.

The martial artists who were close to the arena wanted to retreat, but there were people behind them, and some of the lower-level martial artists were directly blown away by the shockwave of the explosion.

"The butcher actually lost?"

A gasp rang out as Tong Yang had fallen off the stage, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The scar on his face gave him a bloodthirsty look.

"Qin Xin, you are very strong. I have lost, but I will continue to challenge you."

Tong Yang wiped the blood from his mouth, handed over one thousand points to Qin Xin, and left the arena.

Seeing Tong Yang's appearance, Qin Xin was also somewhat surprised. If it were an ordinary martial artist, they would probably be torn to shreds by this attack, but Tong Yang only suffered some minor injuries on the surface. This is because of the special characteristics of Beast Spirit Martial Artists. When they use their Martial Spirit, their physique is stronger than that of ordinary martial artists.

"Next!"

Qin Xin did not rest, because with the advancement of his martial spirit, the recovery speed of his internal energy was much faster than before.

I surrender!

A voice rang out, and Qin Xin looked in the direction of the voice. The person in front of him was clearly only at the first level of the Awakening Realm. After seeing Tong Yang, who was known as the Butcher, being easily defeated, he did not dare to go on stage and directly handed over a thousand points before leaving.

The same was true for the others after them. Although some of them went up to challenge, their strength was much weaker than that of Tong Yang.

At this moment, the shouts around the arena fell silent, and no one dared to question Qin Xin's strength anymore.

"Nine consecutive wins!"

"It's said that the last time they had a ten-game winning streak was a hundred years ago!"

"Is Qin Xin also going to accomplish this feat?"

After Qin Xin defeated a student from the Weaponry Academy, some people began to whisper among themselves.

Qin Xin swallowed a Qi-restoring pill, ignoring the discussions below the arena. Instead, he mobilized his martial spirit to quickly refine the medicinal power, and the true qi in the martial pill, which had been somewhat depleted, was rapidly restored.

"How about I take the lead in the next match?"

A loud voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the bald-headed youth walking towards the arena.
