Besides the two thousand freshmen below the stage who were paying attention to Chen Feng, the other nine people on the nine arenas next to him were also looking at Chen Feng. Li You had a smile on his face, while the others' eyes were full of challenging light.
We're all young people, who wouldn't want to be number one?
Some even unleashed their aura as soon as they stepped onto the stage; the aura of an eighth-rank martial artist was far stronger than that of a ninth-rank martial artist, immediately attracting more attention.
"Wow, the guy in ring number two feels so safe."
"The girl in the third arena is so cute! She even has two dimples when she smiles. I think I'm in love."
"The lady in ring number four has big eyes, and it looks like she's talking to me."
"The guy in arena number five is too flashy, he's even waving a folding fan, acting like one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan?"
"The sixth arena is also occupied by a young lady, but she seems a bit aloof. I don't think I can handle a young lady like her."
"Is the handsome guy in ring number seven squinting? Why is he staring at Brother Chen Feng? Is he a fencing master?"
"The guy in arena number eight has a very sharp aura, like a sword drawn from its sheath. He might not be someone to mess with."
"Hey, big brother of ring number nine, is this a freshman? He looks like he's in his thirties. Look at that beard, it must have been growing for decades!"
"The young man in ring number ten is quite pleasing to the eye. He looks like the boy next door, and his smile is very friendly."
"No, you guys were so busy looking at the young men and women on the stage that you didn't hear what the instructor just said. Stage competitions can cause serious injury or even death. Does it have to be this brutal? It's just choosing a dormitory, why are you making it sound like a life-or-death arena?"
"Hehe, you guys don't understand the Wilderness Martial Arts University. The school trains students through all sorts of cruel methods. Today you may sweat and bleed, but you won't die."
"If you treat coming to the Wilderness Martial Arts University like you would a school within the human realm, you might not even know how you died one day?" Some freshmen said with a sneer, clearly they knew more about the Wilderness Martial Arts University.
For example, some were descendants of soldiers of the Zhenlang Army, or relatives of these soldiers, who had heard about various things about Tianlang Pass and the way the Wilderness Martial Arts University trained students.
"Now, the challenge begins. New students can challenge any arena at will, but only once. If they win, they will remain on the arena and become the champion; if they lose, they will lose the right to challenge."
"Of course, as the champion, you can rest for half an hour after each challenge. Of course, if you are strong enough, you can choose not to rest." At this moment, Zhou Yuru announced the challenge rules.
"Swish swish——"
Immediately, nine freshmen rushed onto different arenas and began to attack the champion. They were all freshmen who ranked among the top 100 in the national college entrance examination, and a few of them had already advanced to the early stage of the eighth rank and were extremely confident in themselves.
However, no new students dared to challenge Chen Feng's arena. There was no other reason than that he was ranked tenth in the country, and in the minds of all the new students, those who could enter the top ten in the country were all monstrous geniuses. How could such a person dare to challenge him?
Moreover, there aren't many freshmen who dare to challenge the top ten. Only those freshmen who are already close to these people have the idea. Other freshmen who are ranked far behind have no idea at all.
Therefore, despite the presence of two thousand new students, only a few actually came out to challenge, at most around fifty. At this time, battles broke out on arenas number two through ten, and everyone chose an arena that interested them to watch, also to understand the strength of the two people on the arena.
With no one to challenge him, Chen Feng was somewhat helpless and could only watch the matches on other arenas to get a sense of the strength of these fourth-generation martial artists.
"Boom boom boom—"
Intense battles unfolded on each arena. Because the challengers were not too far apart in strength, the battles did not end in a crushing defeat.
However, Chen Feng discovered that all nine champions were holding back their strength and did not use any powerful martial arts techniques. Instead, they used some ordinary D-level martial arts techniques to fight their opponents.
As a fourth-generation martial artist, Chen Feng did not believe that they had not practiced C-level martial arts. He could only say that they were confident in themselves and could defeat their opponents using only basic D-level martial arts.
The match between arenas number nine and ten was more intense. Wang Yuankai and Wu Qingquan were not fourth-generation martial artists, so their martial arts skills were relatively ordinary. Therefore, they were fighting the challengers with almost all their might.
Three minutes later, the seven fourth-generation martial artists began to exert their strength and defeated the challengers one after another. Some voluntarily admitted defeat and jumped off the stage, while others were beaten until they spat blood and admitted defeat.
"ah--"
Subsequently, Wang Yuankai knocked his opponent off the stage and broke one of his legs, making him the first injured person to appear in the challenge.
"Don't worry, there's nothing serious, you'll recover in three days." However, the school has a professional school doctor who immediately stepped forward to provide treatment, helped set the broken leg, and administered a bone-healing medicine before speaking to the freshman.
"Thank you, teacher," the new student said gratefully, then glared fiercely at Wang Yuankai on the stage, vowing to avenge this humiliation in the future.
At this moment, Wu Qingquan also defeated his opponent, but both of them were injured. Although the injuries were not too serious, the school doctor still went forward to treat them.
"Raise your hand if the champion needs a break." Bai Feng asked coldly, and Wang Yuankai and Wu Qingquan raised their hands at the same time.
"Alright, except for arenas number nine and ten, the other eight arenas are open for challenges. Students who wish to challenge can choose their own opponents." Bai Feng immediately announced the start of the new challenges.
Soon, eight freshmen rushed up. Finally, someone dared to challenge Chen Feng. It was a freshman with a full head of blond hair and a fierce expression. He looked at Chen Feng and shouted, "Others don't dare to challenge you, the tenth in the country, but I, Huang Zhiyong, am going to challenge you anyway."
Immediately, the freshmen below all looked at Huang Zhiyong with admiration. To dare to challenge the tenth-ranked freshman in the country required such courage, which was quite fitting for his name.
"He truly lives up to his name, Huang Zhiyong. He's ambitious and indeed quite brave," even Zhou Yuru nodded in approval.
Regardless of Huang Zhiyong's actual abilities, his courage to stand up and challenge Chen Feng deserves the respect of all the freshmen and the admiration of all the instructors.
"Let's begin then," Chen Feng said, nodding to Huang Zhiyong.
"Boss, wait a minute." However, Huang Zhiyong whispered to Chen Feng, because the arena was seven or eight meters away from the freshmen below, and the freshmen couldn't hear him if he spoke softly.
"Is there anything else?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
"Boss, could you let me make a few moves? As long as I don't lose too badly, I'll pay you." Huang Zhiyong actually made a bizarre request.
"The instructors are watching. Are you trying to throw the game?" Chen Feng asked him with a smile.
“This isn’t a competition. If you let me last three minutes, I can give you a million,” Huang Zhiyong immediately offered.
