At this moment, after witnessing such an incomprehensible outcome, every student present was completely stunned.
The entire arena fell into an even deeper silence than before.
Confusion was written all over their faces. Their minds were blank, utterly unable to process what had just happened.
"Teacher… Teacher Xuan… what… what just happened?"
At last, one student broke the silence.
As if by unspoken agreement, everyone turned toward Mr. Xuan on the referee's stand, their eyes filled with confusion and urgency.
"Yeah! Meng Hongchen's poison and frost Domain covered such a large area—how did Liu Yuan pass through it unharmed?" another student asked anxiously.
"And we didn't see anything clearly! Just a flash of green light, and then… it was over again?! That makes no sense!"
"Does Liu Yuan have some kind of Spirit Ability that grants immunity to poison or control?"
The arena erupted once more, this time filled not just with shock, but with deep confusion.
They needed answers.
Their understanding of battle had just been completely overturned.
---
On the other side, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Li Yunfeng had already climbed back to their feet.
The three exchanged glances, each seeing the same confusion in the others' eyes.
In the end, they too turned toward Mr. Xuan.
Mr. Xuan took a deep breath.
He slowly stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping across the arena as his clear, authoritative voice rang out:
"Silence!"
Instantly, the entire venue quieted.
"The winner of this class training match is—Liu Yuan's team!"
After announcing the result, he continued:
"I know everyone is confused. To be honest… so am I."
A ripple of surprise passed through the crowd.
"But fortunately," he added, gesturing upward, "we have the replay."
He activated the massive soul tool screen.
"Now, let's review the footage in slow motion and see exactly how Liu Yuan broke through that seemingly perfect strategy."
---
Everyone held their breath as the screen lit up.
The footage replayed:
Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul activated.
The frost and poison spread across half the arena.
Li Yunfeng constructed an impenetrable shield wall.
Xiao Hongchen prepared his devastating cannon.
Everything unfolded exactly as planned.
Perfect execution.
Then—
The camera zoomed in on Liu Yuan.
At the moment he uttered:
"Extreme Speed."
His figure became a streak of emerald light.
But—
He didn't charge into the poisonous Domain.
Instead—
His foot stepped into the air.
"Buzz—"
A ripple spread beneath him.
Then—
He leapt upward.
Midair.
With no wings.
No support.
Just pure control—
He stepped again.
And again.
Walking on air.
Like climbing invisible stairs, Liu Yuan soared over the entire poisonous Domain in a smooth arc, completely bypassing it.
The frost and poison below… were utterly meaningless.
"He… he flew?!" someone gasped.
---
The replay continued.
Landing silently behind Xiao Hongchen's team—
Unnoticed.
Untraceable.
Then—
Three swift kicks.
Clean.
Precise.
Decisive.
---
Hiss—!
A collective gasp echoed throughout the arena.
This time, the shock was even greater.
"My God… he can actually walk on air?!"
"No wonder the Domain didn't affect him!"
"This… this is insane!"
"He's too strong!"
---
On the stage, Xiao Hongchen and the others also finally understood.
Xiao Hongchen let out a bitter smile.
"As expected… Brother Liu Yuan."
Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, looked at Liu Yuan with even deeper admiration.
She had already expected this outcome.
Now, she simply accepted it.
---
Mr. Xuan looked at the stunned students and nodded slightly.
"The mystery has been solved."
"This concludes today's class training match."
"I will adjust future training plans based on your performance."
"That's all for today—class dismissed."
---
Ding-ling-ling—
The bell rang.
Students began leaving the arena, but the shock of what they had witnessed lingered in every mind.
Liu Yuan's figure had already been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
In this world, strength commanded respect.
And Liu Yuan had earned it completely.
---
"Brother Liu Yuan, you've really opened our eyes again!"
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen walked over.
Xiao Hongchen patted his shoulder, half-laughing:
"You can even walk on air? Just how many hidden tricks do you have?"
Liu Yuan smiled calmly.
"Just luck."
"Let's go. I'm hungry."
---
Under the admiring gazes of Ju Zi and Ke Ke, Liu Yuan left with the Hongchen siblings for lunch.
After eating, he returned alone to his dormitory.
Closing the door behind him, he shut out the outside world.
But inside—
His anticipation burned brightly.
Sitting on the bed, he focused inward.
"System," he thought, "claim the reward."
The mechanical voice responded instantly:
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission.]
[Issuing reward…]
Liu Yuan held his breath.
[Ding! Reward obtained—random Pokémon item ×1!]
A brief pause.
Then—
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the item—Silk Scarf!]
---
Liu Yuan's eyes flashed.
A Pokémon item.
And not just any item—
A Silk Scarf.
