I Have Countless Clones

Chapter 78 – Selfishness

As soon as Qiao He finished speaking, the square fell silent.

The group of new students looked at each other in silence.

Zhou Peijun was at the seventh level of Qi Transformation. He was considered one of the best new students, but he couldn't even withstand a single blow from Qiao He.

Those who were weaker than Zhou Peijun would only be humiliated if they went up.

It was only then that many new students realized that this guided battle wasn't as simple as they had imagined.

Although the senior students in front of them were the weakest in the Nine Yang Academy, they were undoubtedly very troublesome enemies for the new students!

Of course, Qiao He had clearly not broken through to the Long Breath Stage yet. No matter how strong he was, there was still a limit.

As long as the new students went on stage to challenge him one by one, at most 20 to 30 people would exhaust Qiao He's stamina. At that time, defeating Qiao He wouldn't be a problem at all.

But the problem was, who was willing to be one of those twenty to thirty people?

Human nature was selfish. No one wanted to sacrifice themselves to help others. Instead, they wanted to be the lucky person who defeated Qiao He in the end and obtained the black iron.

Under such circumstances, most people didn't want to volunteer.

The strange silence lasted for a long time. Finally, a shout broke the silence in the square.

"I'll do it!"

Chong Yanhe walked out of the crowd and strode towards the center of the arena.

As a direct descendant of the Chong family, one of the five great families, Chong Yanhe didn't covet a mere piece of black iron like other new students.

In comparison, he hoped to spar with the senior students of the academy and test the difference in strength between him and them.

Qiao He clearly knew Chong Yanhe. Seeing the latter, Qiao He finally became a little more serious and wasn't as casual as before.

Even so, he still had no intention of drawing the weapon at his waist.

"Aren't you going to use a weapon?" Chong Yanhe held his sword and frowned. "I don't need you to go easy on me!"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing that." Qiao He smiled.

"It's just that I don't think I need a weapon to deal with you."

Chong Yanhe's expression immediately darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes. Without saying anything else, he dashed forward, brandishing his sword at Qiao He.

Compared to Zhou Peijun, Chong Yanhe was clearly superior in both cultivation and martial arts attainments.

Moreover, after a month of cultivation, his swordsmanship had clearly become more exquisite than before.

The fierce sword light tore through the void and swept towards Qiao He with a red heat wave that seemed to want to drown him.

Qiao He chuckled. Instead of retreating, he advanced and met the attack with his bare fists.

In the blink of an eye, the two opponents were engaged in a fierce battle!

It turned out Qiao He wasn't boasting.

Although without using his weapon, Qiao He could no longer defeat his opponent with a destructive force like he did with Zhou Peijun.

Even so, he still firmly held the upper hand and suppressed Chong Yanhe not long after.

"Damn, these seniors are really amazing!"

Yang Zhongyi was speechless as he gritted his teeth.

"Not only does he have a high cultivation level, but his martial arts attainments are all shockingly high. Qiao He is using the Vajra Samadhi Fist, right? From the strength of his punch, he's at least at Proficient!" Vajra Samadhi Fist?

Lin Shen's gaze shifted slightly.

He had heard of this fist technique before.

It was said to be a Yang-attribute martial technique. Its moves were incomparably wondrous, and it also possessed a firm force. The strike was powerful and sharp, and it was very impressive.

The key was that this martial technique could be cultivated and used from the Qi Transformation Stage to the Bright Aperture Stage.

Moreover, its power was extraordinary, and the technique was welcomed by many cultivators.

Qiao He was at Proficient in Vajra Samadhi Fist. Even most cultivators at the Long Breath realm who cultivated the same martial technique had only reached this stage.

No wonder Qiao He dared to be so arrogant. He didn't use a weapon to fight Chong Yanhe because he had something to rely on!

As Lin Shen's thoughts raced, the battle had already come to an end.

Even with the advantage of a weapon, Chong Yanhe was still not Qiao He's match. After more than 50 rounds, Qiao He knocked away Chong Yanhe's sword with a punch and punched the latter on the shoulder.

Chong Yanhe immediately grunted and took a few steps back, almost staggering and falling to the ground.

After catching his breath, Chong Yanhe didn't look too happy, but he didn't say anything. He cupped his hands and walked down the arena without looking back.

Seeing this scene, the new students immediately buzzed.

Even Chong Yanhe, who was ranked in the top five of the exam, was defeated. How could they fight?

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Qiao He looked down at the new students.

"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, you won't admit defeat so quickly, right?"

The new students looked at each other.

Many people turned to look at Xue Feng, Zhao Xueying, and Lin Shen.

Apart from Chong Yanhe, these three were the most powerful among the new students.

At the moment, only they had a chance of defeating Qiao He.

To their disappointment, Xue Feng just stood there lazily with his arms crossed. He had no intention of challenging Qiao He.

For some reason, Zhao Xueying looked adrift as if she was deep in thought. From time to time, she would glance at Lin Shen.

As the top new student, Lin Shen also looked calm as if he didn't realize how disadvantageous the current situation was for the new students.

Seeing this, many new students couldn't help but feel dejected.

The seniors had only sent one person, and the new students already felt helpless. Was the difference in strength between them and the seniors really so great?

Seeing the reaction of the new students, Qiao He couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

In fact, if the new students were united, they might be able to defeat the senior students.

However, in the past few years, there had never been a new student who defeated a senior student. The reason was none other than selfishness.

Actually, thinking about it, it made sense.There was a deep estrangement between ordinary students and disciples of influential families. It was almost impossible for them to be united.

Even the ordinary students or new students from the disciples of influential families weren't united among their own. They also had their own thoughts. Working together was easier said than done.

Even without the temptation of the bet, the new students wouldn't be able to unite.

Therefore, after so many years, the new students could defeat at most two or three senior students in the guided battle, let alone win the battle.

Most of the time, the battle took place like this. Just one senior student could make all the new students dejected and silent.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no new students came forward, Qiao He pursed his lips and turned to look at Meng Dong with a shrug.

Meng Dong was about to speak when someone suddenly spoke.

"Isn't the top new student this year very powerful? Why didn't he go on stage to challenge Qiao He? Is he scared?"

Meng Dong turned around and saw that it was Peng Xinyuan who spoke. A meaningful look flashed in his eyes.

The seniors, who had been quiet and motionless, also had strange looks in their eyes. They looked at Lin Shen in the crowd with different expressions.

Even freshmen like Xue Feng and Chong Yanhe had heard about Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao's plan to deal with Lin Shen, so the senior students naturally knew about it.

Hearing Peng Xinyuan's words, the new students also looked at Lin Shen.

Instantly, Lin Shen became the center of attention in the square..
