Chapter 138: The Last Disciple
I don't know why, but Jiang Tian's face remained calm, and his tone was even.
But when the rolling pin appeared in his hand, everyone's heart trembled for no reason.
"Their siege plan is still going on, and it's an open conspiracy. They are not even worried that you'll see it in the group..." Leng Hao glanced at the chat and said to Jiang Tian.
"Be careful."
After Leng Hao finished speaking, he nodded to Jiang Tian and turned to leave.
Since Jiang Tian had said so, he naturally followed his instructions and focused on his own performance.
The other students from Xiang City still wanted to protect Jiang Tian, but when they saw Leng Hao leave directly, they were a little at a loss.
"Don't worry, I'm fine on my own." Jiang Tian said, grabbing one of the students from Xiang City by the shoulder. "Try to move."
Jiang Tian's actions and words startled the student from Xiang City.
Then, he acted according to Jiang Tian's words, bursting out with strength and trying to break free.
However, he found that the hand holding his shoulder was like an iron clamp, as if it weighed a thousand pounds, pressing him down and making him unable to move.
Almost at that moment, the student from Xiang City broke into a cold sweat. He slowly raised his head to look at Jiang Tian, his mouth slightly open.
Fear.
Just from this simple display of strength, he felt an overwhelming sense of fear.
He had used his full strength, yet Jiang Tian, who had merely placed a hand lightly on his shoulder, had not even broken a sweat.
The difference in strength between them was like heaven and earth.
"Hahaha, Lao Jiang is ridiculously strong. We really don't need to worry at all." Huang Xing laughed and patted the shoulders of the others.
Guo Qihang also put his arm around one of them and said, "It just so happens that we have Lao Jiang here. We might as well stick together and act as a group."
As they were talking, Huang Xing and Guo Qihang took the Xiang City students away, heading in a different direction.
After leaving, they began discussing their own battle plan while walking.
Now, only Xue Ruyan remained. She looked at Jiang Tian and said, "Be careful."
"Huh?" Jiang Tian looked at her in surprise.
Xue Ruyan shook her head. "I mean, be careful not to overdo it."
"Don't worry. When I say I'm going to break their legs, I just mean breaking a bone." Jiang Tian smiled. "After dissecting so many alien races and breaking so many bones, I should be able to control my strength properly."
Xue Ruyan: "..."
Is this guy even speaking like a normal human?
After chatting for a while, Xue Ruyan waved and chose a direction to enter the forest.
Suddenly, Jiang Tian was the only one left in the martial arts arena.
Jiang Tian grabbed the metallic rolling pin and started walking forward while playing with it.
There was no need to pick a specific location. As long as he entered the forest and activated the assessment, the besiegers would come to him.
The situation left many students confused.
Especially those watching from a distance—they looked at Jiang Tian with strange expressions.
Why had everyone around him left? Hadn't they planned to protect him?
Did they realize that the outcome was already doomed, so they simply gave up on him?
Had they abandoned him to face the tragic consequences alone?
The freshman group chat exploded with excitement.
[What's going on? Has Jiang Tian been abandoned?]
[I'm nearby. It looks like he drove them away himself.]
[Maybe he knows his fate is sealed and doesn't want to drag anyone else down.]
[If that's the case, he's a real man. Let's be gentle and eliminate him quickly.]

Zhang Mou: [Everyone, be careful. Something might be wrong. Team 13, Jiang Tian is heading in your direction. Observe him but don't engage. Keep your distance.]
Zhang Mou: [Wait for more reinforcements before taking action.]
Zhang Mou, who was leading this operation, suddenly issued a warning in the group chat, telling everyone to stay cautious.
His words confused many students.
[No way, is it really necessary to be this careful?]
[Yeah, there are so many of us. What kind of trouble can Jiang Tian possibly cause?]
Zhang Mou: [When things are too easy, something is usually wrong. It's always better to prepare for the worst.]
Zhang Mou: [What if Jiang Tian is actually really strong? What if his "acting alone" is just a tactic because his companions were too weak and would have held him back?]
Zhang Mou: [Everyone, stay cautious. I'll be there soon.]
After sending the message, a long-haired boy wearing glasses put away his phone.
He took off his frameless glasses, exhaled lightly, and began walking toward Jiang Tian.
As he approached, he activated his blood energy, letting his aura spread.
This way, Jiang Tian would sense his presence.
However, Zhang Mou soon realized something strange.
Jiang Tian, who was just a short distance away, didn't react at all.
He simply walked forward leisurely, casually twirling the rolling pin in his hand.
Zhang Mou narrowed his eyes.
There were two possibilities.
1. Jiang Tian was too weak to sense his aura.
2. Jiang Tian was too strong, and Zhang Mou's aura was meaningless to him.
For some reason, Zhang Mou had a bad feeling.
But there was no turning back now.
As a leader, he had to act.
Meanwhile, on the stands, the teachers were just as confused.
They all saw Jiang Tian's actions and couldn't understand them.
The original situation was already difficult, so why had he sent his companions away?
Zhao Yongwu didn't join the other teachers' discussion.
Instead, he looked at Zhou Shang, wondering what he was thinking.
"Principal." A voice came from behind.
Everyone turned to see a plump woman in a white coat walking toward them.
It was Director Yuan Qin, the head of the medical department at Hongwu University.
"The beds you requested have been prepared in advance, and the medical staff are in place." Yuan Qin reported, but her expression was puzzled.
"Why did you have all the dormitory beds replaced with hospital beds?"
Zhou Shang smiled mysteriously, watching his disciple holding the rolling pin.
"Director Yuan, you and your team will be very busy soon. Don't worry—there will be extra compensation for the hard work."
"Teachers, please focus on the assessment and watch carefully."
"Let's see how this year's freshmen perform under the hands of my last disciple, Jiang Tian."
