My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 333: Chapter 167: Chief?

”H-He’s too strong, isn’t he?!”

”Everyone else only walked a little over a hundred meters. H-How far did he go?”

”Who is he?”

This breakaway first-place performance left everyone, both inside and outside the arena, utterly stunned. A deafening roar immediately erupted.

The dignitaries high above on the Haiman all stared down in shock...

Fifty-eight thousand jin?

Is that his limit?

...His foundation is too profound!

What kind of Talent is this?

”I’m afraid... this child must have some kind of special constitution!”

An old man slowly sucked in a cold breath and said in a low voice.

”Yanfang Prefecture... Qin Fang. This young man, I fear, will be first place in this Martial Arts Examination.”

They murmured amongst themselves.

...Even if another True Essence Realm Martial Artist appeared, they believed Qin Fang’s first-place position was secure.

Because his foundation was simply too profound!

The clamor was deafening, and countless eyes were fixed on him, yet Qin Fang’s expression remained largely unchanged.

’This is a reaction I’d already anticipated. What’s there to be surprised about?’

Just then, he noticed that the Black Armored Soldier in charge of his lane had run up to his side.

The soldier glanced at him, unable to hide the shock in his eyes. After a moment’s hesitation, he still gave a slight bow before looking down at Qin Fang’s feet.

After a careful look, he announced loudly, ”A Nineteen, total distance: five hundred and eighty steps! Score: five hundred and eighty points!”

His voice was very loud, and someone immediately repeated the announcement, the words gradually spreading far and wide...

”Five hundred and eighty points?! Heavens... The top-ranked from the last examination only had a final score of... a little over one hundred points, right?”

”That’s terrifying... Do you know his name?”

”I just heard one of the exam personnel say... I think he’s called... Qin Fang.”

”Qin Fang? Young Master Qin?”

”Young Master Qin will surely be this year’s top rank!”

”...Top Rank!”

”Top Rank!!”

The crowd began to shout thunderously.

A glint flashed in Qin Fang’s eyes.

’I’m famous now.’

He gazed at the sea of people in the distance...

’If Master and the others were here, I wonder... if they can see this?’

”Young Master Qin, your preliminary round is over. Please exit the field and prepare for the next stage of the examination.”

The Black Armored Soldier beside him spoke in a low, respectful voice.

Qin Fang returned to his senses and smiled at him. ”Alright, thank you.”

This smile seemed to startle the Black Armored Soldier, who was flattered. ”Th-That’s... I don’t dare. You’re too kind, Young Master Qin.”

A look of surprise and admiration appeared in his eyes... ’This Young Master Qin seems different from what I imagined.’

Qin Fang felt the gazes from the Haiman on his back and a thought flickered through his mind... ’Looks like no one is planning to come down.’

But there was no need to rush. The Martial Arts Examination was ten days long, and the final day was the one that truly mattered.

He turned and walked back the way he came. As he passed Fu Chen and the others, he saw they were still reeling from shock, but now they were even a bit evasive, subconsciously avoiding his gaze.

’It seems these Noble Family’s Heirs no longer intend to pursue our previous grudges,’ he thought.

At the same time, he felt other eyes on him. He turned his head and saw Duan Ling, Xu Nianzhen, and others with whom he had never interacted before, all staring at him with shocked expressions.

Qin Fang gave them a slight smile. They seemed taken aback for a moment, but then, one after another, they actually nodded at him in acknowledgment...

Qin Fang paused, stunned for a second, before chuckling to himself.

’I’m famous now.’

And so, these arrogant Noble Family’s Heirs were finally starting to take him seriously.

Suddenly, he noticed a furtive gaze from the crowd. He subconsciously turned to look and saw Shen Han secretly watching him.

When their eyes met, Shen Han was clearly startled and instinctively looked away. But after a brief moment, he looked up again, took a deep breath, and finally gave Qin Fang a slight nod, saying softly, ”Congratulations.”

Qin Fang raised an eyebrow... ’Shen Han’s reaction is a bit unexpected.’

”I never expected... that you’ve already pushed open the Divine Gate...” Qian Ruhai’s voice rang out. Qin Fang looked at Chubby Qian, who wore a complex expression of awe, which then broke into a brilliant smile. ”Congratulations, Brother Qin, on locking in the top rank ahead of time.”

Beside him, Lin Chen had also returned to the group. He too watched Qin Fang with a complicated look in his eyes. When Qin Fang looked his way, he let out a breath and also bowed slightly. ”Congratulations, Brother Qin.”

Qin Fang laughed. ”This is just the preliminary round. This place is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons; who’s to say there isn’t some other genius? The top rank? It’s too early to say.”

Hearing Qin Fang’s words, they could only shake their heads with wry smiles...

’Qin Fang’s score isn’t something someone who just reached the True Essence Realm could achieve.’

Not to mention the fact that very few True Essence Realm Martial Artists even bother to participate in the Martial Arts Examination... and even if they did, how could their results possibly compare to Qin Fang’s?

In the entire history of Lanyang City, Qin Fang’s score was likely number one!

It was impossible for anyone to achieve a better score.

”Congratulations, Young Master Qin!”

”Congratulations, Young Master Qin!”

Someone from D Building shouted loudly.

Wang Qi and Huang Shun, in particular, were ecstatic.

’This is the top rank we’re talking about!’

And by a stroke of fate, they had crossed paths with him...

’This is fucking something we can brag about for the rest of our lives!’

For a moment, they were completely carried away.

Hearing the excited shouts and congratulations from the people of D Building, Qin Fang also smiled towards them and cupped his fists in a salute.

This immediately triggered an even louder cheer.

’He’s basically the guaranteed top rank of this year’s Martial Arts Examination!’

Before, they had already felt honored that Qin Fang, a Huajin Martial Artist, was so amicable towards them.

Now, that honor had even transformed into a feeling of being overwhelmingly flattered!

”See? Didn’t I tell you Young Master Qin was strong?”

someone in the D Building group said excitedly to the person next to them.

It was one of the people from D Building that Qin Fang had happened to meet while strolling around the other day. Next to him was a newcomer who had not been familiar with Qin Fang at the time.
