Chapter 631: Chapter 347: Compared to Becoming Mr. Xue’s Student, Martial Arts Examination Results are Trivial (4K)_2

“It was him who started the conversation just now, wasn’t it? Then took the chance to sneak off to do something bad, but got caught by Mr. Xue!”

Xue Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, “Don’t you want to hear the reasons first?”

These students trusted him far too much.

Without knowing the specifics, as soon as they heard that he personally took care of Xu Zixuan, they were convinced it was Xu Zixuan’s own fault.

“Well, tell us, what on earth did that scoundrel Xu Zixuan do?”

…had they already decided Xu Zixuan was a scoundrel before even starting?

Xue Jing pinched his chin and said, “It’s a bit of a long story, but I’ll make it short…”

He began to recount the misdeed committed by Xu Zixuan.

First, he briefly introduced the cause and effect, explaining that he had previously upset some powers, which was why he had been transferred to the Seventh Metropolitan Circle as an examiner, and Xu Zixuan was sent by these forces.

He also roughly described what had just happened, revealing that Xu Zixuan tried to harm him, but ended up being counter-killed by him.

As the only one who knew the full story, Cao Sini chimed in a few words, mentioning some “Mr. Xue had given him a chance” and also cited her following Chen Xingyan’s small team as evidence that she was there to monitor Xu Zixuan.

After listening, everyone was somewhat furious.

“That damn Xu Zixuan, Mr. Xue was so good to him, and he dared to do such a thing!”

“He completely brought it upon himself… where did he die? I want to whip his corpse!”

“Deserves death, dying is too light a punishment!”

Xue Jing looked at the students’ reactions and didn’t know what to say.

This kind of adoration and trust had gone too far…if what he had said wasn’t true, and Xu Zixuan had actually been wronged, these students would still believe his one-sided story.

At this thought, Xue Jing frowned to himself.

He had only taken special care of these students because of a bond between teacher and students, wanting to teach them something valuable in this brief period purely out of goodwill, without expecting anything in return, nor wanting to foster a group of fanatical followers.

This outcome was not what he had intended.

My damnable charm…

“Why was it only Sini who knew about this in advance?”

Ye Jingqiu puffed her cheeks, a jealous twinge in her voice.

“Mr. Xue is playing favorites.”

The others chimed in:

“I could do that too!”

“Miss Cao really is the favored one.”

“How nice… I also want to have a little secret just between Mr. Xue and me…”

Cao Sini crossed her arms and kept quiet, facing everyone’s, especially the girls’, envious stares, she just slightly turned her head away.

Chen Xingyan sighed and explained, “It’s not that Mr. Xue is playing favorites, but only Miss Cao could know about this.”

“Firstly, not many people can know about this issue, or it will be easily detected, and also, others’ attitudes towards Xu Zixuan would inevitably change if they knew about his problem.”

“Only Miss Cao, who is cold to everyone, wouldn’t let Xu Zixuan notice anything unusual.”

“She’s also the strongest among us, with more than enough capability to be in charge of monitoring Xu Zixuan.”

“This is a well-thought-out decision by Mr. Xue, not favoritism, so everyone, don’t get the wrong idea.”

The crowd realized suddenly,

“So that’s how it is…”

“Mr. Xue is truly admirable, always considering issues that we fail to think of!”

“Mr. Xue is so awesome!”

The students looked at Xue Jing with adoration, but Zhao Longtu had some objections to what Chen Xingyan had said, feeling that Mr. Xue’s strongest student might not necessarily be Cao Sini.

Xue Jing: “…”

He hadn’t thought about it too much. Someone like Xu Zixuan wasn’t significant enough to garner his attention.

It was just a casual mention to Cao Sini, nothing meticulous.

He cleared his throat, clapped his hands, and said,

“Alright, let’s hurry to the next area; if we delay any longer, there won’t be any time left to rest…”

…

In the following days, nothing particularly notable occurred.

Xue Jing’s class followed his plan steadily. After each movement task, they would disperse into small squads to “hunt” nearby.

During the previous three days of training, Xue Jing ceaselessly performed “Empowerment” on all the students. After a Serious Punch, he taught them martial arts suited to their unique traits and even… actual combat experience.

Empowerment was such a cheating skill; it wasn’t just the comprehension of martial arts but also the transfer of bodily combat experience directly infused into the students.

However, considering each person’s different mental endurance, the scale of experience each could handle varied.

With combat experience surpassing that of other classes’ students, plus tricks like Serious Punch that could turn the tide of battle, and the other various “Xue Jing level” martial arts moves he taught them, they were essentially cheaters beyond their current level.

Whenever the students encountered other squads, they were shocked to discover just how weak the students from other classes were.

Nearly every time, they effortlessly secured victory.

Also, due to the slaughter by Xue Jing the night before, many other classes’ students lost the command and protection of their examiners. Already in a state of collapse, when they encountered the monstrous class of Xue Jing, they all became targets for racking up points.

As the days passed, the implications of the scarcity of resources grew larger.

Eating their fill every day at Xue Jing’s, his students took action without reservations, while the other examinees had to consider the depletion of resources, their own energy consumption, and so on. Weighed down by worries, even in an encounter they dared not throw their punches too hard for fear of starving afterward.

In such a cycle of depletion and growth, the condition of Xue Jing’s students improved as time went on, while others deteriorated, magnifying their advantage.

Xue Jing initially had a steel tree seed, planning to use the Plant Pact to secretly help his students, but there were hardly any occasions to do so. The students rarely faced danger, and when they did, they typically dealt with it on their own.@@novelbin@@

Among them, the most extravagant in earning points was Cao Sini, who operated solo.

Following Xue Jing’s plan and carrying the mission to become the King of Knockout, she dedicated herself wholly to the task, almost without rest along the way. Every time she completed a movement task, she would immediately leave to hunt elsewhere.

When tired, she’d return to Xue Jing’s side to be filled and rejuvenated with the power of the Dragon Cherry, and then set off again.

All other examinee squads who encountered her were invariably annihilated.

In just a few short days, her knockdown count had reached nearly two hundred people, maxing out her individual score and leaving the second place far behind.

Occasionally, those who escaped from her spread the word of her deeds, and numerous examinees within the Steel Tree Sea referred to her, in fear, as the “female fiend under the Demon King.”

Led by Cao Sini, the whole class of Xue Jing was like a whale shark that had incidentally entered the shallows, devouring every small fish and shrimp it encountered.

The number of examinees in the Steel Tree Sea testing area was being rapidly reduced.

However, due to the large number of people in the squads, and the fact that knockdown points were divided among everyone, despite the vast number of knockdowns, the ranking based on the team’s average score was still not high, barely in the eighth position.

Currently, the first place was held by a four-person elite squad from Li Suisui’s class.

If the situation continued like this, due to the scarcity of “prey,” and with only those who personally made the knockdown receiving individual points, most of Xue Jing’s students’ personal scores were not high.

If this were to carry on, only a few students from Xue Jing’s class would achieve good ranks after the exam.

Nevertheless, as the exam time passed day by day, drawing ever closer to the end, no student questioned Xue Jing’s decisions.

They all believed Mr. Xue must be right and would lead them all to good results in the Martial Arts Examination.

Or rather, even if not, it didn’t matter.

The mere Martial Arts Examination results paled in comparison to the chance of meeting Mr. Xue, to become Mr. Xue’s student.
