The news online has been making headlines these past two days. Li Jiaqi also knew that Shen Qian had gone to Beidu for classes. When he saw him coming, he coughed and smiled bitterly.

Shen Qian looked around, puzzled, and asked, "What exactly happened today? Where are Geng Qianqiu and his group?"

With Shen Qian's help, Li Jiaqi sat up and then sighed.

"It happened rather suddenly. There weren't many people in the arena at the time. As for Zhao Keyi and the others, they were either training in the simulator or exploring the secret realm, so they probably didn't know anything about it."

Li Jiaqi briefly recounted what had happened.

Shen Qian was speechless upon hearing this. He had almost forgotten that the people in that unknown group chat were now a bunch of cultivation fanatics, so it was perfectly normal that they couldn't be found in broad daylight.

“Actually…” Li Jiaqi suddenly hesitated.

"Um?"

“I think even if Geng Qianqiu and the others are there, it might be useless…” Li Jiaqi said in a low voice, biting her lip.

"Why?" Shen Qian didn't understand.

"This might sound a bit like belittling ourselves and praising the others, but those three freshmen from Suzhou University of Science and Technology are indeed very strong, no, they should be said to be extremely strong!"

Li Jiaqi described, "I only lasted ten moves against one of them. The difference in skill was so great that it was despairing... I also sparred with Geng Qianqiu recently, and Geng Qianqiu couldn't put that much pressure on me."

"Wait a minute, were those who made the move freshmen from Suzhou University of Science and Technology?" Shen Qian asked in astonishment. "But I clearly saw that they also had senior martial artists among them!"

"Those people seem to be just there to keep things under control; only three freshmen actually made a move—no, that's not right, it was two..."

Li Jiaqi said with a wry smile, "There's another girl who didn't make a move the whole time, but I have a feeling that she's probably the strongest."

"So now you know why none of us can make a move, right?"

Qu Bai appeared beside Shen Qian at some point, and said helplessly.

Standing next to Qu Bai was another tall and beautiful senior student, Feng Manlin, who was ranked second on the Jiangzhong Military Martial Arts School list.

"That's only one reason. Another reason is because of you, junior Shen Qian," Feng Manlin said to Shen Qian with a smile.

"I?"

Shen Qian was taken aback, not understanding how he had been involved again.

"Although that group of people came to challenge the school, it seems they also had other purposes. They weren't just targeting freshmen; they were also looking for a monkey."

"Emperor Monkey?" Shen Qian raised an eyebrow.

"It seems like you're the only freshman who's raising a monkey," Feng Manlin said with a smile.

Before sinking in, his thoughts were racing, and he vaguely made some connections to something, but he couldn't be sure.

At that moment, a commotion broke out at the entrance of the school clinic, and then three or four people helped one person squeeze in.

"What's going on now?"

These people were Zhao Keyi and the others who had just been talking to Li Jiaqi.

Zhao Keyi frowned, and Geng Qianqiu and Ye Shicong also looked rather grim. The person they were supporting was seriously injured and unconscious, and it was Xiao Ye.

Zhao Keyi and the other two were all somewhat unstable in their auras, and seemed to have suffered some injuries.

“You guys…” Shen Qian and Qu Bai went up to greet them, both of them asking questions.

"When we received the news, the people from Suzhou University of Science and Technology had already left. Xiao Ye was furious and chased after them out of the school gate. We followed them and had another fight with the people from Suzhou University of Science and Technology," Zhao Keyi explained.

"Defeated?" Shen Qian asked in surprise.

"Those three freshmen are indeed quite skilled. Xiao Ye actually defeated one of them, but the girl who made the final move was too strong; she severely injured him in one strike..."

"Even you are no match for him?" Shen Qian became somewhat interested.

Although Shen Qian didn't use his full strength when fighting them, Zhao Keyi was the only one who could put pressure on him.

After all, Zhao Keyi was a prodigy chosen by the Hall of a Hundred Kings, so he was definitely not weak.

"If it were truly a matter of life and death, I would be confident, but in a mere sparring match... I lost by half a move."

Zhao Keyi sighed in frustration.

Upon hearing that Zhao Keyi had only lost by half a move, Shen Qian immediately lost interest.

...Well, the other side isn't that strong either.

"Shen Qian, it seems this time it will be your turn to take charge."

Geng Qianqiu suddenly interjected, his face solemn, "If this were a normal competition, I would definitely get my revenge myself, but since it concerns military honor, I can't act impulsively. They'll be back in three days, you..."

"That girl from Suzhou University of Science and Technology is the top martial arts champion in Shanghai. The martial arts champions in both Beijing and Shanghai are extremely prestigious. Shen Qian couldn't even beat Wang Shuo before. Can she really do it?"

Suddenly, someone muttered something, and the emergency room fell silent instantly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"That's true, didn't you guys see the news? And Shen Qian really hasn't even cleared a one-star secret realm yet..."

The man stopped trying to hide his voice and started raising it.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the emergency room.

Previously, Shen Qian had defeated the senior genius Man Hu in the arena, and everyone had full confidence in him.

But after the Beiwu incident swept across the news online, people became a little less confident.

Wang Shuo and that girl from Suzhou University of Science and Technology are both unparalleled geniuses who are no less than senior martial artists. Who dares to say that they will definitely win?

Zhao Keyi and the others' confidence in Shen Qian was mainly based on their usual encounters with Shen Qian, but they did not know Shen Qian's true strength, so they could not argue with him.

Only Qu Bai knew that Shen Qian was not so simple, but he couldn't say anything at the moment.

"Before we go, we'll also send three people in three days. You'll be the last one to perform, and then..."

Zhao Keyi was afraid that the rumors would affect him before he died, so he quickly changed the subject.
