The entire Great Martial Arts Dojo was silent, cold air pervading.
Miller left, and Zhou Leng arrived.
Zhou Leng's reputation at West Sea Martial Arts Academy has always been high.
Although Zhou Leng hadn't participated in any assessments since leaving Hundred Peaks Valley, and no one knew his true strength, even if his abilities hadn't changed, he could still easily dominate everyone at West Sea Martial Arts Academy except Mountain and River Origin.
The teacher suppressed his anger and shouted, "This is West Sea Martial Arts Academy. These are our school activities now. As a student from Ruda, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Leng opened his mouth, realizing that speaking directly wasn't being heard, he channeled Qi into his Dantian and throat.
"Today, I challenge West Sea Martial Arts Academy on the Innate Battle Path. Please select ten masters from your school to battle me. If I lose, I will apologize and admit my mistake. If I win, I will leave immediately."
True Qi surged, and his voice echoed throughout the arena.
The entire arena was in an uproar.
"How absurd!"
"Taking advantage of us in our time of weakness, despicable."
"Do you think West Sea Martial Arts Academy has no one? I'll come!"
"I'll come too!"
Many martial arts students stood up one after another.
A few experienced teachers and students looked at Zhou Leng, with uncertainty and doubt.
Mo Hai frowned, carefully observing whether Zhou Leng had used a Demonized Horn.
No.
Which means, Zhou Leng just used his True Qi to transmit his voice across the arena.
A Martial Arts Index of 11 definitely couldn't achieve that.
Only once True Qi reaches the Innate can one transmit their voice clearly over several hundred meters.
The teacher at the microphone was a Vitality Stage expert, hearing Zhou Leng publicly challenge them only made him more furious.
People couldn't refuse such words said in public; West Sea Martial Arts Academy had to respond, no matter what.
No room for maneuver.
"Do you think West Sea Martial Arts Academy is a place where you can come and go as you please? Over the years, we've won and lost, but never feared! Please, Zhou Leng from the Ruda Affiliated Martial Arts Hall, proceed to the central arena. Our students will be there shortly!"
"All students, put away your phones and Demonized Watches, filming is prohibited for this battle. Violators will be expelled!"
Students who were ready to film quickly put away their phones and Demonized Watches.
Only a few daring ones were preparing to secretly film.
Many Body Refining Stage and Vitality Stage experts jumped down from the stands, heading towards the field.
Teachers also stepped in to maintain order.
"Only select those in the late Vitality Stage. Those who aren't, stay back."
"Mind your behaviors, no idle chatter, or you'll face disciplinary action under school rules."
"School leaders are discussing important matters, no disturbances today, got it?"
Teachers sensed the situation wasn't right and hurriedly issued instructions.
But martial arts students aren't just students; they're martial artists.
The incident of Zhou Leng injuring students from West Sea Martial Arts Academy was already widespread in the school, and many were angry, but due to You Lisheng's earlier agreement upon failing, they couldn't trouble Zhou Leng.
Now, with Miller having injured Top Ten masters and coming here, it was too much.
A group of Vitality Stage students gathered, whispering among themselves.
"If he can challenge the school, we can challenge him too!"
"Right! I held back because of You Lisheng's promise not to find him, but since he's knocking on our door, he can't blame us."
"I'm contacting all Vitality Stage classmates now, to make sure he leaves battered!"
"Spread the message, contact all classes, have all students contact their Vitality Stage classmates, don't leave anyone out!"
"Bring in Martial Arts School Students too."
Some Vitality Stage students hadn't come initially, but now, the entire school's martial arts students were taking action.
Soon, Vitality Stage and even Body Refining Stage students were running across the campus, bursting into the Martial Arts Dojo.
Many students originally stood in the stands, now they were all coming down.
West Sea Martial Arts Academy is in the Top Ten Martial Arts schools, with vast numbers of Body Refining Stage and Vitality Stage students.
Including Martial Arts School Students, there were over a thousand in both the Body Refining Stage and Vitality Stage combined.
Initially holding back their anger, but as they spoke more, it boiled over.
"Being sat on by Eagle Alliance's top guy is bad enough, now Ruda too, who can tolerate that?"
"West Sea Martial Arts Academy doesn't provoke, nor does it fear trouble!"
"We're all martial artists; who's afraid of whom!"
"Tong Tianxia's blade is still sharp, Zhao Tong's blood isn't dry, our spirit at West Sea Martial Arts Academy hasn't dimmed!"
"Right, let's give it our all."
Zhou Leng waited quietly, slowly circulating True Qi, already initiating the Taiqing Sea Robe, maintaining minimal consumption.
Once the battle starts, he could release True Qi to protect his body.
Soon, several teachers brought forward ten Vitality Stage students.
"Zhou Leng, these are the ten students we've selected. How will you fight?"
The lead teacher spoke in a cold tone.
Zhou Leng, aware of the conflict with West Sea Martial Arts Academy, wasn't concerned, but since they dared to call it a "battle," how could he show weakness?
Zhou Leng glanced over the ten students, puzzled.
Among these ten, only three or four were at the peak of Vitality Stage, the rest were ordinary late Vitality Stage; with just a slight carelessness, he could knock out three with one punch.
What is West Sea Martial Arts Academy thinking?
Am I, Zhou Leng, not worthy of their top experts?
Zhou Leng cupped his fists and said, "Teachers, classmates, can you send another batch?"
The opposing teachers and students were stunned; the teachers only darkened their faces, while several students stepped forward, wanting to act, but were stopped by others.
What do you mean send another batch? Is West Sea Martial Arts Academy a night club?
"What do you mean?" the lead teacher asked.
"Even if I'm weak, my Martial Arts Index is still 11. If you send out such opponents, and word spreads that I'm picking on the weak, there's no point."
Zhou Leng, albeit inexperienced socially, sensed the emotions weren't right, and there wasn't even a true expert, losing his interest.
The words were heard by West Sea Martial Arts Academy's teachers and students, but interpreted differently.
These students, are unworthy of facing Zhou Leng.
"Zhou Leng, you are too much!"
"I, Zhang Gaojie, challenge you as an individual martial artist! If you don't accept, I'll go to Ruda's gate and wait until you accept!"
"Pang Junfeng challenges you as an individual martial artist!"
"An Xinlan, as an individual martial artist, I challenge you, life or death not considered!"
...
The students at the back rushed to the top ten martial experts, challenging Zhou Leng.
Zhou Leng came alone, intending to avoid intensifying conflicts, complete the Innate Battle Path, and put an understated end to his grudges with Western Sea Martial University.
But the people of Western Sea Martial University seemed unwilling to resolve peacefully.
A person's good temper is limited.
"Oh, come on then, I still have to go back for lunch."
Zhou Leng didn't even glance at the crowd, striding toward the door.
"Then let us witness Zhou Leng's skills!"
A Vitality Stage martial arts student suddenly leaped over the teacher who was originally going to stop them and kicked at Zhou Leng in mid-air.
The others saw this person, although with an angry face, his move was flawless due to his full battle spirit, making his attack even more precise.
Zhou Leng's right hand flashed out, grabbed the person's ankle, and swung him fiercely.
The person screamed miserably, crashed to the ground, unable to stand.
"Next one."
Zhou Leng continued to stride forward.
"Hmph!" A martial expert originally scheduled to fight Zhou Leng rushed out ahead, punching towards Zhou Leng's face.
Zhou Leng slapped him across the face, brushed past, and continued forward.
The man's teeth scattered, his body spun and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Good!" The next person rushed towards Zhou Leng with a flying kick.
Zhou Leng attacked later but arrived first, kicking the person's shin.
With a crack, the person's shin broke, cried out miserably, and couldn't get up.
Zhou Leng continued to stride forward.
"Go!"
"Go!"
"Go!"
The martial arts students of Western Sea Martial University, seeing Zhou Leng so fierce, weren't scared but rather ignited the youthful passion and ferocity.
One after another martial arts student continually charged at Zhou Leng, seeming to fight solo, but in reality leaving no gap, attacking from all directions.
Zhou Leng moved forward while striking.
One person, one move, and each move hit heavily, sparing no exceptions, equality for all.
The students watching from a distance saw it blankly, the students in the arena charging relentlessly towards Zhou Leng.
But upon approaching, either spat blood and flew back, broke their legs, or fainted on the spot.
The teachers initially frowned but soon slowly retreated, letting the students charge at Zhou Leng.
Soon, dozens lay on the ground.
Zhou Leng continued forward, more martial arts students joined the fray.
Soon, even the Body Refining Stage martial arts students couldn't hold back, joining the fight.
Rush over, fall down.
Rush over, fall down.
Charge from all directions, and fall in all directions.
Zhou Leng, as if strolling after dinner, continually moved forward, with no one able to stop his steps.
The number of people on the ground increased, surpassing two hundred.
"I can't believe it, Zhou Leng alone can take down a thousand of us!"
"Go!"
"Go!"
All the teachers and students in the audience stood up, blood boiling.
Some students in the Vitality Stage and Body Refining Stage couldn't resist anymore, jumped from the audience, charged at Zhou Leng.
Students in the Blood Transporting Period wanted to take action but were stopped by teachers.
"Blood Transporting Period students are not allowed to take action, whoever does will get a major demerit!" The teachers on the podium hurried to stop them.
From above, looking down, students rushed from all corners of the Western Sea Martial University campus towards the Great Martial Arts Dojo.
In the Martial Arts Dojo, students from the audience charged into the arena one by one.
Around Zhou Leng, hundreds of students formed a large ring, attacking from all directions, then falling.
Zhou Leng strode forward, leisurely and relaxed.
Behind him, injured students lay on both sides, leaving a straight empty path in the middle.
The students seeing this scene felt both hopeful for the final victory and a faint sense of grief.
The teachers and college leaders were initially angry but slowly, a few couldn't help but smile.
Good, very good.
The intention was to let these little brats from Western Sea Martial University witness what it's like to have someone outside the realm, a sky beyond the sky.
Now, that person has brought a piece of the sky with him.
The college leaders chatted in low voices.
"Why do I feel this Zhou Leng is stronger than Miller."
"He was previously in the top twenty of the new student ranking, now he might even make it to the top ten, or even the top five."
"No wonder Zhang Xinglie personally vouched for him and publicly mocked our school, it's we who were short-sighted..."
Everyone immediately shut up, saying any more would be discourteous.
Zhou Leng continued forward step by step, as martial arts students charged bravely.
By now, many martial arts students even forgot school honor and personal feelings.
It's just a fight.
Simply a pure battle between martial artists.
Either win or lose.
No other emotions mixed in.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people rushed to the Martial Arts Dojo from all directions.
Fewer and fewer jumped down from the audience.
Less and less surrounded Zhou Leng.
The number of people on the ground behind Zhou Leng grew.
When the last person fell, Zhou Leng walked to the passage before the door, the walls blocking the steps to the audience on both sides.
