“Xu Jun, be gentle.” Luo Li felt a pounding headache. He hadn't foreseen Lin Xiu acting so rashly, yet without alternatives, he could only caution Xu Jun.

These were his pupils after all, and should any incident occur, responsibility fell squarely on him as the supervising teacher.

“En, I will guide Lin Xiu well.” Xu Jun nodded while sneering coldly.

Right then, he launched his assault!

Being a novice warrior with a robust physique, Xu Jun barreled straight toward Lin Xiu, lifting his massive fist to hammer down on Lin Xiu’s frame.

“Bang!” Lin Xiu swiftly countered by crossing his arms in defense, yet a sharp agony still surged through him from the blow.

The restorative liquid he'd just applied had mended every internal wound inside him. Now, his physique score had climbed from 33 up to 35 points.

Even though the gain was a mere 2 points, Lin Xiu sensed his body felt utterly transformed compared to earlier.

And thanks to the fury ignited by Xu Jun’s punch, it skyrocketed by yet another 20 points!

Incredible! Now he just needed to keep dodging and blocking.

“You can’t escape forever!” Furious at Lin Xiu’s constant evasion, Xu Jun exploded in rage, his form blurring as he dashed after Lin Xiu.

“Hahaha, typical trash— all you do is run!” Spotting Lin Xiu fleeing nonstop, a group of onlookers burst into mocking laughter.

This sight led Zhang Dong and Chen Li to suspect Lin Xiu was hiding his true prowess.

They'd seen with their own eyes the devastating force Lin Xiu unleashed, which had floored Ma Qiang instantly.

“30 points… 40 points…”

“You damn weakling! If you’ve got guts, stop running!!” Xu Jun fumed wildly by now. With the crowd watching, he yearned to slam Lin Xiu into the dirt, but Lin Xiu kept slipping away without counterattacking.

Sure, Xu Jun landed occasional hits, but Lin Xiu always guarded with his arms.

Flashes of astonishment appeared in Luo Li’s gaze now and then. As the class supervisor, he knew Lin Xiu inside out.

Despite Lin Xiu's diligent training, his innate talent and build were subpar, fostering insecurity that made him a frequent victim of school taunts and abuse.

Yet this Lin Xiu appeared reborn as someone entirely new!

His power remained middling, but those eyes burned with unyielding resolve— a fire Luo Li had never witnessed before.

“Die!” Suddenly, Xu Jun bellowed and unleashed a ferocious punch!

“No dodging that one!” The crowd gasped, as if already picturing Lin Xiu crumpled on the ground.

“Ding! Your rage meter is full! Do you wish to unleash the power-up strike?”

“Yes!” Just as the fist neared impact, the voice echoed in his mind at last.

Lin Xiu erupted in wild laughter, firing back a punch straight at Xu Jun!

“Courting death!” Noticing Lin Xiu forgo evasion to clash fists head-on, Xu Jun's pupils shrank in shock.

“It’s finished!” A girl shrieked, shielding her eyes promptly. Xu Jun, the novice warrior, packed enough punch to shatter Lin Xiu’s bones.

“Ahh!!” A piercing cry rang out— not from Lin Xiu, but Xu Jun!

Upon collision, Xu Jun flew backward, his arm twisted grotesquely, bones fractured beyond doubt.

Silence blanketed the area.

Disbelief gripped everyone; the scene was utterly surreal.

The school’s lowest-ranked fighter, branded trash, had toppled a genuine entry-level warrior?

“No way! Impossible!” Ignoring his arm’s agony, Xu Jun bellowed in denial.

“Hurry and take him to the infirmary.” Shocked as he was, Luo Li quickly directed students to escort Xu Jun for treatment on his mangled hand.

“From today forward, no one calls me trash!” Lin Xiu held his ground, sweeping his gaze over the crowd as he thundered.

“So… so badass…” Several girls' hearts raced at the sight of Lin Xiu’s dominant display.

Lin Xiu had always been handsome and sharp in studies, but his weak constitution barred him from warrior status. Constant bullying kept admirers away.

Now, he radiated a reborn aura.

A sparkle lit up in some girls’ eyes...

“Teacher Luo, may I head to District A20 for combat training?” Lin Xiu approached and questioned Luo Li.

Though District A20 teemed with zombies and evolved beasts, shifting there let him slay more beasts for extra experience points. With luck, he could tackle zombies too.

Once his potential surged, surpassing school’s elite warriors would be merely a matter of time, far beyond mere mortal limits!

“Approved.” After a prolonged pause, Luo Li forced a wry smile in response.

“How in the world did you pull that off?”

He found himself unable to fathom this student anymore. The explosive might from Lin Xiu matched a real warrior’s ferocity.

Yet the Lin Xiu before him clearly hadn't attained even novice warrior rank!

‘Maybe he’s mastered some elite fist technique for instant power surges?’

‘No chance— his body couldn’t handle training in such arts.’

“That’s my secret.” Lin Xiu flashed a enigmatic grin in reply.

Word of Lin Xiu crushing Xu Jun rapidly swept the campus. Though just a novice warrior, Xu Jun held decent standing, far from an obscure low-ranker.

What stunned everyone was Lin Xiu’s rock-bottom combat score of 250 trash points, yet he’d vanquished a beginner warrior. This flipped perceptions entirely.

When sleuths uncovered Ma Qiang’s same-day thrashing by Lin Xiu, the buzz exploded across school even faster.

Lin Xiu paid it no mind, but Zhang Dong and Chen Li skipped the dorm that night. Ma Qiang’s loss was startling enough, but Xu Jun’s defeat terrified the non-warriors.

They dreaded getting pulverized by Lin Xiu.

Back in the dorm, Lin Xiu smeared ointment over his injuries. Though mostly defensive against Xu Jun the novice warrior, the fight left numerous bruises.

With clearance for District A20 combat, preparation was key— slaying zombies and beasts to keep advancing!
