At this moment, after seeing such an "incredibly bizarre" result, all the students present were stunned.
The entire martial arts arena fell into a deathly silence even more profound than before.
Question marks were written all over everyone's faces; their minds were blank, completely unable to comprehend the scene that had just occurred.
"Teacher... Teacher Xuan... what... what's going on?"
Finally, a student's voice broke this eerie silence.
His gaze, as well as the gazes of all the other students present, turned in unison toward Mr. Xuan on the referee's stand, as if by prior agreement.
"Yeah! Why is it like this? The potent poison and frost Domain released by Meng Hongchen's 'Scarlet Clear Ice Toad' Spirit covered such a large area; how did Liu Yuan charge through unscathed?" another student asked immediately, their voice filled with thick confusion.
"And we didn't see it clearly! It was just like before—a flash of green light, and then... then Xiao Hongchen and the other two were sent flying? This doesn't make sense!"
"Does Liu Yuan have some special Spirit Ability that grants immunity to toxins and control?"
Discussions surged again like a tide, but this time, it was no longer just simple amazement; it was mixed with countless doubts and inquiries.
They desperately needed an explanation to soothe their worldviews, which had been completely overturned.
On the other side, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Li Yunfeng, who had been kicked off the stage by Liu Yuan, had also stood up from the ground.
The three of them looked at each other, seeing the same confusion in each other's eyes.
In the end, they also turned their gaze toward Mr. Xuan on the referee's stand, seeking an answer.
Mr. Xuan took a deep breath.
He slowly stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping across the field, and his clear, powerful voice echoed in every corner of the arena.
"Silence!"
Two simple words caused the boiling scene to instantly quiet down.
"The final winner of this class training match is—Liu Yuan's team!" Mr. Xuan first announced the match result loudly.
Then, looking at the faces below filled with a thirst for knowledge, he spoke again: "I know everyone is very curious right now as to why this is the result. To be honest, I am also very curious. However, fortunately, we have this."
He pointed at the giant soul tool screen above and once again operated the equipment beside him.
"Now, let us use the slow-motion replay of the surveillance spirit tool to find out exactly how Liu Yuan cracked this certain-kill situation!"
Everyone held their breath at this moment, their eyes fixed intently on the slowly lighting screen.
The footage began to play again.
One could see Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul Possession, the Domain of frost and poison spreading rapidly, Li Yunfeng constructing a solid shield wall, and Xiao Hongchen setting up a menacing giant soul tool cannon—everything was as perfect as they had envisioned.
Then, the camera focused on Liu Yuan.
At the very moment he uttered the words "Extreme Speed," his figure transformed into a streak of emerald light.
However, the direction he advanced was not toward that cloud of poisonous mist.
Instead, at the moment of starting, his right foot in the Void Realm, as if stepping on an invisible staircase, gave a light tap!
"Buzz—"
An invisible airwave rippled out from under his feet.
Immediately after, his entire body defied physical common sense and leaped upward several meters, his left foot following with another tap in the higher Void Realm!
Walking on Air!
In such an inconceivable manner, alternating his feet to gain leverage from the air as if walking on level ground, his figure traced a graceful arc and flew directly over that poisonous Domain!
The frost and poisonous mist on the ground were simply a joke to him!
"He... he flew?!" Someone in the crowd let out a dream-like exclamation.
The footage on the screen continued. Having leaped over the poisonous mist zone, Liu Yuan landed silently like a ghost behind Xiao Hongchen's trio.
At that time, they were fully focused on the poisonous mist ahead, completely unaware that danger had descended behind them.
Finally, it was those three crisp and decisive whip kicks that accurately "invited" the three of them off the stage.
"Hiss—"
When the image froze at the moment Liu Yuan retracted his leg and stood still, a sound of surprise louder than any before echoed within the arena.
The faces of all the students were filled with utter shock and admiration.
"My God... he can actually... actually walk on air... and he doesn't even have wings!"
"No wonder... no wonder Meng Hongchen's ground control was completely ineffective against him!"
"Awesome! Liu Yuan's strength can only be described as Awesome!"
Meanwhile, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Li Yunfeng also had a look of sudden realization after seeing the replay.
A bitter yet relieved smile appeared on Xiao Hongchen's face; as expected of Brother Liu Yuan, he had once again taught him a good lesson.
Meng Hongchen was full of admiration; she didn't mind Liu Yuan winning against them. After all, she already knew the chances of winning weren't high, so she was quite alright now.
Mr. Xuan looked at the students' reactions with satisfaction and spoke again: "Alright, the mystery has been revealed. Everyone now understands the reason for Liu Yuan's victory."
"This class training match has now reached a conclusion of Perfection! I will formulate new training plans for everyone based on your performance."
"It's about time; let's end the class for now!"
"Ding-ling-ling—"
As if timed perfectly, the bell for the end of class rang out crisply.
The students got up and left one after another, but everything that happened in the arena today was destined to be a hot topic for a long time.
The gaze of almost everyone looking at Liu Yuan had transformed from the initial curiosity and doubt into heartfelt respect and awe.
Douluo Continent is, after all, a world where the strong are respected.
Liu Yuan won everyone's recognition with his inconceivable and matchless strength.
"Brother Liu Yuan, you really... have opened our eyes once again!" The siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen did not leave immediately but took the initiative to walk to Liu Yuan's side.
Xiao Hongchen patted his shoulder with a look of admiration, "You can actually fly? Just how many trump cards are you hiding that we don't know about?"
Liu Yuan looked at them with a smile and said calmly, "It was just luck. Let's go; I'm hungry too, let's go eat."
Under the admiring gazes of Orange and Ke Ke, Liu Yuan left the arena with the Hongchen siblings to enjoy lunch at the cafeteria.
After eating his fill, Liu Yuan returned to the dormitory alone on the pretext of needing a nap.
He closed the door, isolating all the external disturbances.
Liu Yuan's heart was filled with another surge of fiery expectation.
He sat on the bed, his consciousness sinking into his mind, and thought to himself: "System, claim the mission reward."
He was looking forward to seeing what this "random pokémon item" would be.
Accompanying his thought, the cold mechanical voice rang out right on time.
"[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the mission.]"
"[Issuing reward... Obtained reward—random pokémon item ×1!]"
Liu Yuan's breath hitched slightly as he waited in anticipation.
Immediately after, the System's prompt sounded again.
"[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the item—silk scarf!]"
