“Buddy…” Qian Jin saw the unscrupulous greedy merchant-like expression on Rollin’ face. He asked, “Don’t tell me that you want…”

“You are the only one who gets me! Come on man!” Rollin acted shy by bumping the tip of his index fingers together. “Do it for me! Just help me become Julius’ boyfriend! How about you sacrifice yourself one more time and let me kick your ass?” he said.

“F*ck off!” Qian Jin laughed and swore at Rollin as he kicked Rollin’s fat butt lightly. “You want to kick your best friend’s ass just to get an ugly woman? I’m hurt.”

“We’re family.” Rollin rubbed his butt although he didn’t feel any pain. He laughed, “We’re brother-in-law’s…”

“Bro, don’t tell me a horror story this early in the morning.” Qian Jin was walking towards class with his hand on Rollin’s shoulder, but he was stopped. He looked at the few warrior students and said, “What’s up? Do you guys have a problem?”

When Rollin saw the people who blocked off the path, the smile on his face disappeared. Fifth seat Wakeley, fourth seat Anchor, and second seat Varese from the Fighting Ability Ranking in Grade One had all come!

This setup was way stronger than what Qian Jin experienced last night.

Three tags popped up in their hands as they said in unison, “I challenge you to a duel!”

They had all heard about what happened last night, and they became even more impatient after Julius’ announcement this morning. How strong could the former tenth seat be? They didn’t believe all the rumors that surrounded Qian Jin.

Qian Jin looked at the three new challengers, and then he looked at the warrior students in the crowd. He noticed that they all had similar intents in their eyes; if he showed any fear or weakness, they would jump on him to challenge him. It was like a pack of wolves who had seen an injured tiger; they would attack the tiger even though they would probably lose. The chance of them winning was significantly increased.

“Go soft and talk it out?” Qian Jin scratched his head as he thought. The reason why he didn’t want to participate in the competition of the top ten seats was because he didn’t want to become the center of attention. It could potentially hinder his success in searching for the [Supreme Wind and Cloud Energy Training Scroll]. However, if he didn’t fight today, he would be challenged by numerous people in the future. He might not even have the time to search for the training scroll if that happened.

“I can’t go soft and show my weakness!” Qian Jin instantly decided. He had to fight in front of the crowd in whatever situation, since it would be a great deterrent.

Qian Jin closely observed the three people in front of him, and then he raised his head and started searching for something. “I’m missing someone here, where is Durk?” he shouted.

“I’m here.”

The crowd separated in the middle and Durk slowly walked out. The dark blue warrior suit fit him perfectly, and his shiny blonde hair was very noticeable under the bright sun. His distinct facial features and crystal blue eyes added to his presence. His cold stare and expression elevated him above the other three challengers in Qian Jin’s eyes.

The crowd backed away subconsciously and made a huge circle for the five people who were the center of attention.

“One, two, three, four…”

Qian Jin pointed at the four people as he counted. He lightly clapped as he commentated, “Since all of you are here, come at me together.”

“What…?”

The crowd was in an uproar. Even the instructors who were overseeing the morning exercise were shocked by what Qian Jin said. All of them suspected that Qian Jin was still a bit sleepy and was still dreaming. Otherwise, could it be that winning two challenges in a row made him become arrogant?

A hint of surprise flashed through Durk’s crystal blue eyes. Although he knew his toughest competitors weren’t the second or third seat in the grade, but rather this low-key tenth seat Qian Jin, he didn’t expect Qian Jin to be this arrogant when he became exposed.

“Did you hear that? He said that he is going to take all four of them on at the same time!”

“Yeah, what the heck? He is too arrogant! Who does he think he is? A bloodline warrior who just had a primary awakening?”

“Look! All four of them are so pissed that their faces are twitching.”

“Hey, are you guys interested in betting? I can be the dealer and run the betting station…” Rollin was the one who spoke.

Qian Jin looked at Rollin and thought, “Damn, this dude really was born to be a merchant. How does he have the time to start a betting station at this kind of moment?”

“Why aren’t you guys saying anything? Could it be that you don’t think you have enough people to defeat me? That’s okay, you guys can add more people if you want. How about…” Qian Jin suddenly turned around and pointed at a few people in the crowd, “You! You! And you! Didn’t you guys want to fight me as well? Come on, fight me together!”

The dominating sensation that was coming off Qian Jin skyrocketed after he did this aggressive and crazy move. The warrior students who were pointed at by him took a step back unconsciously, as if they weren’t pointed with a finger, but rather a blade! A very sharp blade!

Whoever was pointed by this ‘blade’ felt a chill to their bones!

“Durk…”

Principal Fick’s rusty voice broke the silence. With both of his hands in his back, he nodded to the crowd as he said, “Since Qian Jin is very confident, why don’t you all fight him at once.”

The four challengers were surprised by what the principal said, but they bowed towards Fick a little as they complied with Fick’s decision.

In the small Oakland Academy, Fick’s words were like the words of an emperor. If one was smart and wanted to graduate and go to an advanced academy, they could obey his orders.

The crowd burst into an uproar again. “The principal has spoken! This time, Qian Jin will get his ass kicked! Maybe he only wanted to say such arrogant things to increase his presence and decrease the others’ confidence. But now, he can’t go back on his own words. He really has to fight all four of them, the four people who are at the very top of Fighting Ability Rankings in Grade One.” This was going through everyone’s mind.

The Managing Director held himself from laughing out loud. “This damn Qian Jin is being too arrogant! He will be taught a lesson today! Qian Jin, even if you are strong, it’s impossible for you be stronger than Durk. With the help of the three other warrior students, there is no way that he will lose to you!” he thought to himself.

The four challengers formed a line; they faced Qian Jin together, but they didn’t attack first. It was shameful for them to fight 4 vs. 1 against someone else in their grade; if they also took the advantage and attacked first, they wouldn’t have any face when walking around the academy in the future.

“You guys are not going to attack first? Then allow me!”

Qian Jin stepped forward with his right foot and formed a half lunge. It was the preparation for the warrior assault footwork that the academy taught to all warrior students; his left fist punched out and right fist was hidden around his waist.

The crowd instantly back off a few steps! As Qian Jin drew on his Level 6 Warrior Energy, the crowd felt like a volcano was erupting. Qian Jin’s fully released his warrior energy, and he was turning into a vicious demon tiger in the eyes of the crowd!

Level 6 Warrior Energy! The people in the crowd murmured in astonishment. Durk also gasped out loud. He thought that Qian Jin couldn’t possibly have such high level warrior energy. He thought the reason why Qian Jin was so arrogant was because he had some sort of special fighting technique. Qian Jin’s Level 6 Warrior Energy took him by surprise.
