Two years had passed,

The "Martial Arts Space" section had always been gray, never showing any change.

The flicker just now was the only anomaly in these two years.

Li Qingshan's eyes burned with intensity as he looked through the virtual panel at the motionless, statue-like Ferocious Beast.

Could it be the key to unlocking the "Martial Arts Space"?

"Astral Beast, Langdu."

Wan Keshan smiled as he reached through the alloy bars and patted the exposed scalp of the beast, amidst the shocked gazes of the students.

Perhaps due to the steel collar on its neck, the beast showed no reaction.

Many people's eyes lit up,

In that case, cutting it once didn't seem so difficult?

"Ferocious Beasts find it hard to break through the constraints of the Star Realm and appear on our planet."

"But..."

Wan Keshan withdrew his hand, his smile fading as he spoke seriously:

"The scum who worship the Evil God might be hiding among you!"

"Just last night, an Evil God Cultist completed a sacrifice on the outskirts of the city."

"Ask yourselves honestly, if you had encountered them last night, would you have dared to swing a blade at that scum?"

Evil God Cultist?

Li Qingshan withdrew his gaze from Langdu, suppressing his eager impulse.

Unexpectedly, besides seeing the beast today, he also heard news about Evil God Cultists.

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

Evil God Cultists are transformed from humans, extremely covert.

Not to mention Luoying City, even across the entire Old Continent's 107 provinces, there isn't much news about Evil God Cultists.

But the scarcity doesn't mean they don't exist.

In the history books, the Old Continent once had 108 provinces.

The missing province vanished because an Evil God Cultist sacrificed an entire city's lives, attracting the Evil God's corruption and destruction.

"Teacher Wan, have they caught the Evil God Cultist responsible?"

A student couldn't help but ask,

After all, with an Evil God Cultist in Luoying City completing a sacrifice, how could they not be worried?

"If they had caught them, it wouldn't be Langdu in the cage now."

Wan Keshan's voice was cold, and seeing more students wanting to speak, he interrupted directly:

"The Inspection Bureau will soon issue a report on the Evil God Cultists, check it yourselves then."

"This Langdu is something I specially prepared for you today."

"Now, I'll teach you the first lesson in martial arts, swinging a blade!"

Wan Keshan suddenly slapped the alloy bars, and the machete resting on the cage automatically sprang up, the handle landing in his hand.

"The Martial Arts Class in senior year is set by the federation and cannot be changed."

"However, I, Wan Keshan, do not teach useless students!"

Wan Keshan extended his right hand, holding the machete upside down, signaling to the students:

"The opportunity is here, cut it once and you can stay, those without the courage can leave on their own."

As expected!

The students had anticipated this, not too surprised.

"Teacher, I'll go first!"

Liang Mingyu stepped forward with his head held high.

Hong Qian also stepped out silently.

At the front of the line, Yu Lei, who was already in the first row, naturally stepped forward, having been the first in the previous test as well.

The three walked to the center of the venue, standing in front of Wan Keshan.

Damn, a step too slow!

The thought flashed through many minds, including some who had previously been at the bottom of the tests.

After all, this was a rare chance to show off.

Moreover, Wan Keshan had already demonstrated personally.

The Langdu in the cage couldn't move at all, what was there to fear?

However, the three "top students" had already stepped forward.

They could only hold back for now, their eyes focusing on Li Qingshan.

At a time like this, the "top of the class" should step up and dominate the scene.

Unfortunately, their gazes had no effect.

Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, observing the Langdu in the cage, showing no intention of moving.

The beast was right there, it couldn't run away.

Besides, he didn't think Wan Keshan's first lesson was just about cutting a "wooden stake."

"Teacher, let me!"

Someone couldn't help but raise their hand, wanting to step forward.

But the shadows ahead blocked their path.

"Teacher, I'm not afraid of it, let me cut first."

"Teacher, give me the knife, I'll kill this beast."

Unknowingly, a circle had formed in the center of the venue, bustling with activity.

"You students are quite eager! It seems I underestimated your courage."

Wan Keshan said with a smile, his gaze passing over the crowd.

At the back, a few remained motionless.

Li Qingshan, the "top of the class," stood out conspicuously.

Zhao Hongzhou nudged Li Qingshan's shoulder, whispering:

"Brother Shan, the teacher seems to want you to go up."

"You saw wrong."

Li Qingshan's expression remained unchanged.

He had noticed Wan Keshan's gaze too,

But he also noticed the hint of regret on Wan Keshan's face after he looked away.

Li Qingshan knew Wan Keshan's mischievous nature well, and he looked at the eager classmates with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

"Top of the class, is this it?"

Liu Jingya walked by with her arms crossed, despite her short stature, she exuded an air of superiority.

Bang!

Li Qingshan kicked out, the sensation was satisfying.

Liu Jingya stumbled forward a few steps, falling to the ground.

"You dare kick me?"

Liu Jingya turned back, clutching her rear, her face full of disbelief.

"Just a spar." Li Qingshan said nonchalantly,

"We're in the same Martial Arts Class, if you're interested, we can spar often in the future."

"Classmate Liu, Brother Shan didn't use his full strength, otherwise you'd have flown out."

Zhao Hongzhou spoke seriously.

"The reason you fell is because you're too clumsy, I suggest you learn from Yu Lei."

"You just wait!"

Liu Jingya, her face flushed with anger, ran to Liang Mingyu, whispering a few words in his ear.

That Li Qingshan again!

Liang Mingyu's face darkened, glancing at Li Qingshan behind the crowd, he spoke to Wan Keshan:

"Teacher, let me go first, to set an example for the others."

The test results being overshadowed was a foregone conclusion.

No matter if Li Qingshan was truly too scared to come forward now, as long as Liang Mingyu could swing the blade first, he could regain the upper hand!

"No rush, setting an example is something the teacher should do personally."

Wan Keshan's smile grew warmer, gripping the knife handle:

"Watch closely!"

His movements were so swift, the students couldn't even catch the shadow of the blade.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing, the machete stopped at the alloy bars.

All the students widened their eyes, puzzled.

Demonstrating on the cage?

At that moment,

Crack, crack, crack!

Fine cracks appeared at the point of contact, spreading rapidly.

In the blink of an eye,

The bars around the cage, even the steel collar on Langdu's neck, were covered in a dense web of cracks.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the cage shattered, iron fragments flying.

The beast's body was covered in a layer of silver powder, two red points suddenly appeared on its head.

Langdu opened its eyes.

Roar!

Its massive mouth opened, a foul wind rushing out.

The terrifying roar was deafening.

"The beast is alive!"

The students screamed in panic, fleeing in disarray.

At the back of the crowd, Li Qingshan's eyes suddenly brightened.

At the moment the beast "came to life," the "Martial Arts Space" section flickered again.

In the center of the venue,

Yu Lei and Hong Qian, being closer, stepped back several paces, their faces pale.

The "revived" Langdu was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

The unluckiest ones,

Were Liang Mingyu and Liu Jingya, right next to the cage.

Liu Jingya rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.

Liang Mingyu sat on the ground, his eyes vacant.

Ding!

The machete fell to the floor in front of him, Wan Keshan's friendly voice sounded.

"The teacher's demonstration is over, now it's your turn."

"Me?"

Liang Mingyu snapped back to reality, his lips trembling.

Looking at the machete on the ground, his right hand lifted shakily, but he couldn't extend it.

At that moment,

Two legs appeared in his view, stopping beside the machete.

Li Qingshan bent down to pick up the machete, his eyes fixed intently on the beast Langdu, licking his lips as he said:

"Teacher, can I only cut once?"
