A clear sound rang out, audible only to the two people engaged in battle.

At first, Guang Wuqiong thought that Quan Ji's bamboo sword had broken, which he thought was to be expected. However, when he looked down and saw the strange curve of Quan Ji's lips, an indescribable sense of fear surged up and quickly climbed up his back.

Cracks appeared where Thor's hammer was touched by Quan Ji's bamboo sword.

Snap!

The sound of the crystal breaking was clear and distinct, like the shattered fragments of a sudden explosion, making it perfectly audible to everyone.

Upon closer inspection, Quan Ji gracefully twirled around like a dragon, each movement as beautiful as a dance, before appearing behind Guang Wuqiong.

Even Guang Wuqiong was slow to realize what was happening. Just as he was about to turn around and rush towards Quan Ji again, Quan Ji turned around on her own and snapped her fingers.

Snap!

Instantly, Thor's hammer exploded in Guang Wuqiong's hand!

Countless bolts of lightning wrapped around the hammer instantly scattered, and stones fell one after another within the barrier of the arena.

One piece even hit Guang Wuqiong directly in the face, sending him flying.

It was devoured by the backlash of the lightning and let out a miserable scream.

Quan Ji feigned surprise: "Wow, I really didn't expect Thor's hammer to be so fragile. It exploded with just one touch. I'm so sorry!"

For a moment, there was complete silence; the entire room was eerily quiet.

The vice deans of the three academies couldn't help but stand up, leaning on the chairs next to them, in their own rooms.

"Thunder... Thor's hammer was actually shattered by Quan Baba's bamboo sword!"

"You know, this semi-divine artifact was bought with half a lifetime's savings, and it was broken so easily...?!"

"This powerful bastard's strength... is definitely more than just a god among mortals. Holy Glory Academy is playing us!"

"To be able to instantly kill a half-step human god wielding a semi-divine artifact, such strength... this Quan Baba is probably more than just a typical human god!"

"Holy Glory Academy has really dragged us all into this mess! In the upcoming battles, we should try to avoid direct confrontation with her and have people from other academies test her first!"

...

The audience belatedly realized what was happening.

"Good heavens... Thor's hammer actually exploded? It was shattered by Quan Baba's bamboo sword in one strike! Even ordinary gods couldn't do that!"

"Kwon baba is really awesome! I'm totally impressed by him, I'm going to be a die-hard fan of Kwon baba from now on!"

"Ahhhh! He's so handsome! He's not exactly good-looking, but his aura is just... Ahhhhh, I'm screaming, my love!!!"

"How did he manage to do all this? This 'powerful patriarch' is truly extraordinary!"

...

Cheers erupted throughout the stadium.

Quan Ji stood on the stage, basking in all the praise. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her gaze fell on Guang Wuqiong. Her eyes... could be said to be filled with mockery.

Guang Wuqiong looked at his exploded Thor's hammer, with only the handle left in his hand, and screamed in a moment of emotional breakdown.

"My Thor's hammer!"

"Aaaaaaah!"

"Kill her! I must kill her, or I will never be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

He absolutely will not let this person get away with destroying Thor's hammer, which he cherishes as a treasure!

If he can't beat them, then a god from the mortal realm will have to come!

As expected, the next opponent to fight Quan Ji was a human god from the Giant Stone Academy.

Ghost Knows, a psychic who excels at mental attacks.

He exuded an unsettling aura, and with a wicked grin, he shouted, "Daddy Quan, you'd better watch out... If you lose your focus even for the slightest bit, I'll devour you and turn you into a madman!"

Quan Ji glanced at him indifferently and chuckled.
