As Zhao Meng fell backward and lost consciousness, one undeniable fact emerged.

Jiang Huoer had won.

Zhao Meng had lost.

A Class had been defeated by D Class—by someone eight ranks below him.

People would surely laugh. That was certain.

Losing fairly wasn’t shameful, but Zhao Meng’s earlier taunts couldn’t be erased.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!”

The Fire D Class students were ecstatic. Things they’d given up on now brimmed with hope. Nothing felt more achievable than this moment.

This was the feeling Jiang Huoer gave his classmates.

This was true uplifting energy.

Nothing could deny what Jiang Huoer had accomplished. He hadn’t expected it himself, but he’d done it—truly done it. If anything, it was genuinely admirable.

“…”

Shu Xingfeng, watching from afar, hadn’t anticipated this.

He’d thought Zhao Meng would win despite the rank gap. But now—

The gap hadn’t given Zhao Meng even a trace of advantage.

Jiang Huoer had kept his promise. Now, Shu Xingfeng had to keep his.

“Unbelievable…”

Yi Polai tried to laugh but couldn’t. His voice was hesitant.

“Shu Xingfeng, you must honor your promise. Otherwise, the Four Kings lose their trust.”

Challenging a Second Stage Initial rookie was unprecedented. Shu Xingfeng’s initial demand had already been outrageous. Now, it was reality—beyond outrageous.

If Jiang Huoer were careless, it might be fine. But from what they’d seen, he wasn’t that type.

The Four Kings always took fights seriously.

It was their attitude—a respect for combat’s sanctity.

So, Shu Xingfeng wouldn’t treat this lightly.

A Class students didn’t focus on the fallen Zhao Meng. They turned to Shu Xingfeng.

This was what mattered—the person to watch.

Because one of the Four Kings had agreed to duel a rookie.

They waited—for Shu Xingfeng’s response, his attitude. They needed to know if he was serious.

Anyone would care. If the Four Kings were half-hearted, the upcoming duel wouldn’t be worth watching. No respect meant no excitement.

But—

Shu Xingfeng stepped forward. Under everyone’s astonished gazes, he walked to Jiang Huoer.

The Fire D Class students froze.

They hadn’t expected a Four King to appear personally.

Not just Shu Xingfeng—all four Kings emerged.

Zhuo Wentian walked last, the strongest among them. It symbolized his status.

Yet, one thing couldn’t change: all Four Kings had appeared because of Jiang Huoer.

In GCD Divine Mechanism Academy’s history, when had all Four Kings gathered for one event? Today was the first.

Though shocked, few spoke.

This would be tomorrow’s front-page news, no doubt.

“I never thought you’d pull it off.”

Shu Xingfeng’s heart raced, but he stayed calm. As a Four King, he couldn’t be rash. If he were ordinary, he’d react like the others. But he wasn’t. If the Four Kings weren’t composed, no one else would be.

“I didn’t expect it either. But I did it. That’s what matters.”

Jiang Huoer didn’t hold back. No false modesty—he’d done it. Luck or tricks, he’d succeeded. That was undeniable.

“Then I must fulfill my promise.”

Shu Xingfeng said again.

“Yes.”

Jiang Huoer nodded.

“Both promises. You owe me both.”

He remembered clearly—what he deserved.

“Of course. The Four Kings never break their word.”

Shu Xingfeng nodded and turned to the A Class students.

His meaning was clear. Even without looking, they felt his intent.

A Class students stepped aside. Within a minute, the training ground split neatly in half.

“Perfect~”

Jiang Huoer smiled.

“Now everyone can train freely. No more space worries. We’ve reclaimed our place—with our own hands!!!”

That last line was pure genius.

Fire D Class was the worst at GCD Divine Mechanism Academy. Now, its students had beaten the best. Nothing was more inspiring. This was Jiang Huoer’s gift—a transfer student’s positive energy. With this, hearts swelled with pride. Proof that even the weakest could defeat A Class elites!

Yes, believe it or not, it happened.

At GCD Divine Mechanism Academy, here, anything is possible!
