They Were Reborn And Said I Am The Savior - Chapter 26

Thinking of this, Leng Qingyue stood firm and said, “Zhang Kuang, if you want to challenge Lin Daotian, you’ll have to get past me first!”

Zhang Kuang was bewildered. “But he’s the one I’m supposed to challenge!”

Leng Qingyue replied calmly, “I know! But if you can’t even defeat me, what qualifications do you have to challenge him? You may be a genius, but being a genius only means you’re just a stepping stone for him!”

Zhang Kuang was so angry he laughed. “Fine, then I’ll defeat you first and then deal with him!”

Thus, the matter was handed over to the referee.

The referee was in a difficult position; after all, this was an academic exam, and everyone was busy competing. Couldn’t they settle their personal grudges elsewhere?

Unable to make a decision, they handed the authority to the chief judge.

In the VIP section.

“Of course, I agree; two great talents competing, how wonderful to watch!” the Sword King laughed heartily.

“Right, right… let them go!” the Dragon King echoed, eager for the chaos.

For these king-level experts, watching the academic exams felt like professional boxers watching children sparring. At first, it seemed interesting, but after a while, it became tedious, and they lost interest.

Now that they finally had a side event, it excited them to no end.

“I’m also looking forward to it; it’ll be like a halftime show!” Xia Qingfeng nodded with a smile, immediately announcing that the two could fight and that regardless of the outcome, it wouldn’t count against their exam scores.

Everyone became excited.

“The two great talents of this session will face off early!”

“Who do you think will win?”

“I think Leng Qingyue will win; after all, her summon is the nine-colored divine sword! It’s well-known that the higher the potential of a summoned entity, the stronger it tends to be at the same level!”

“I think Zhang Kuang will win; his summon isn’t bad either! Besides, he comes from a wealthy family, so he has far more resources than Leng Qingyue. There’s no way she can be his opponent!”

……

Amidst everyone’s anticipation, Leng Qingyue and Zhang Kuang stood on the examination stage.

At this point, Zhang Kuang had calmed down and looked at the person he longed for, saying, “Qingyue, right now, I’m powerful beyond measure; you definitely won’t be able to defeat me! It’s best for you to concede, or else…”

Leng Qingyue’s eyes were cold and aloof. “Whether I’m your match or not, we’ll only know after we fight!”

Zhang Kuang continued, “But I’m afraid I can’t control myself; if I accidentally injure you…”

“Cut the nonsense, just make your move! I’ll only give you this one chance!”

Seeing that Leng Qingyue was unyielding, Zhang Kuang had no choice but to accept the challenge.

However, he planned to use only sixty percent of his power, equivalent to an ordinary Tier 4 practitioner’s level.

This would allow him to defeat Leng Qingyue without embarrassing her.

Zhang Kuang extended his right hand, and a hammer appeared in it—his summon, the Vajra Hammer.

“Qingyue, I’m ready to strike, watch out!”

Leng Qingyue didn’t respond, but a sword appeared in her hand, poised and ready.

“Take this hammer!”

Zhang Kuang charged forward, leaping high into the air, raising the golden hammer above his head, unleashing a powerful and furious aura as he brought it down toward Leng Qingyue with might.

If this hammer hit, it would surely turn her into pulp.

However, Leng Qingyue remained unfazed, not even fluttering her eyelids.

She simply raised the sword sheath to block the descending golden hammer, then, using her immense strength, she effortlessly sent it flying back.

Zhang Kuang stumbled back repeatedly before finally coming to a stop.

He was utterly shocked, having not expected Leng Qingyue to so easily break his hammer strike.

How had she become so strong?

He hardly recognized her anymore!

“Zhang Kuang, if this is all your strength, then you’ve really let me down!” Leng Qingyue said quietly.

Zhang Kuang’s face turned red as he argued: “I was only using sixty percent of my power…”

“No matter what, I’ve already given you a chance; now it’s my turn to strike!”

As soon as Leng Qingyue finished speaking, her figure flickered like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she crossed eight meters to stand before Zhang Kuang.

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Zhang Kuang had only one thought: so fast!

As if by reflex, he raised his hammer and swung it with all his strength.

However, Leng Qingyue seemed to have anticipated this. She bent down and dodged the hammer, then took another step forward.

Her sword sheath quickly flipped and landed right on Zhang Kuang’s wrist.

With a sharp pain in his hand, Zhang Kuang lost his grip on the hammer, leaving him defenseless.

Taking advantage of the opening, Leng Qingyue swiftly stomped her foot on Zhang Kuang’s chest.

With a loud bang, Zhang Kuang was sent flying backward, quickly soaring through the air.

Another loud crash, and he landed outside the arena.

The entire process took less than a second.

The examination venue fell utterly silent.

After a moment, the crowd began to react.

“Did she win?”

“Leng Qingyue won?”

“So fast? Did it really end in the blink of an eye?”

……

Zhang Kuang was just as shocked.

He looked at the footprint on his chest, then at the golden hammer lying far away, and finally at his current position, muttering in disbelief, “Did I… lose? I lost to Qingyue?”

When the referee announced the end of the match, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

“Leng Qingyue won!”

“Instant kill! She took down Zhang Kuang in seconds!”

“What an amazing victory!”

“This is the real genius girl; I love it!”

……

In the VIP section.

The Sword King, Shen Junjun, also applauded. “This girl is extraordinary! Her strikes are clean, quick, and efficient! Even I might not have done it as well as she did! Impressive! Admirable!”

“The key is that she was holding back her strength!” the Dragon King added, clapping and laughing. “From start to finish, she didn’t even draw her sword or use any skills; she defeated Zhang Kuang solely with her combat techniques!”

“However, she did reveal a bit of her strength!”

Xia Qingfeng said with a smile, “I estimate her strength has already reached the 8th tier. If she uses her divine sword and skills, she’ll be nearly unmatched at the same level! If it weren’t for Lin Daotian, she would definitely be the top student in this academic exam! A rare talent! She really came through today!”

“Clap, clap, clap…”

Xia Qingfeng joined in with applause.

Yet amidst everyone’s cheers and applause, Leng Qingyue remained calm, not losing herself in the moment.

To her, this was all very normal.

With her experience as a regressor, if she couldn’t even instantaneously defeat someone like Zhang Kuang, then what had been the point of rebirth?

Her goal had always remained unchanged: to defeat Lin Daotian and reshape her destiny!

But before that, she needed to resolve this troublesome matter and prevent him from wasting time here.

“Everyone, please listen to me!”
