Su Tu wasn't surprised by this point, after all, Dongdong, as a prominent figure on the initial Celestial Pride list, although there is some gap in strength compared to him, has good talent and battle prowess.

Besides Dongdong, there was another person dressed in ancient Human Race attire, a handsome middle-aged man with long hair.

Su Tu had seen this person before; when Principal Situ took him for a test, this person was one of the teachers beside the principal.

If not for Liu Bentian's appearance, interrupting the assessment, Su Tu speculated that those teachers would have sparred with him.

"Student Su Tu, please have a seat."

The teacher's voice was very gentle and refined, sounding scholarly, making him look less like a Martial Artist and more like a cultured rich young man.

He was playing with a Jade Fan in his hand.

"My name is Xu Jinhuan, and I'm one of the main persons in charge of the True King Sprint Class. You two are the students who have recently joined the class."

"The True King Sprint Class is very different from ordinary classes, so there are some rules that I need to clarify in advance."

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, he opened the Jade Fan in his hand.

On the fan were eight characters: To live life to the fullest for one intent.

On one of the characters, there was a noticeable scratch, clearly showing that it was a mistake while writing, an attempt to scrape it off which had failed.

Moreover, how to put this... the handwriting looked worse than what you'd get from sticking mud on a puppy's paw and letting it scratch the ground a couple of times.

Xu Jinhuan gently shook the fan, and the elegant aura he carried was entirely destroyed by it.

"Both of you should know that the True King Sprint Class, formerly known as the Celestial Pride Class, exists to cultivate talents who can enter the 'True King Competition'.

"Being able to enter this class, your talent goes without saying, and you have relatively explored a style of your own in terms of technique, cultivation methods, and combat style."

"The Sprint Class will strive to maximize your style and characteristics while quickly enhancing your realm and battle prowess."

"For Martial Artists, what is the best way to enhance both battle prowess and realm?"

Xu Jinhuan raised his eyes and looked at the two.

Without a moment of hesitation, Su Tu and Dongdong replied, "Life-and-death struggle!"

There is great terror between life and death, and great opportunity as well; simply cultivating the Martial Arts Dao and honing techniques is inadequate to become true Martial Artists.

The Martial Arts Dao is the Dao of combat, the Dao of chaos; only through life-and-death struggle can one continuously comprehend their own strength and Dao, becoming stronger and raising their realm most quickly.

In this world, no supreme power has achieved greatness through mere seclusion; all strong with any accomplishments have been forged through blood and fire.

In this aspect, Su Tu had an especially profound understanding, not because of anything else, but in life-and-death combat, the increase in skill level is exceptionally high!!

Hearing the two's responses, Xu Jinhuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Exactly, it's about life-and-death struggle, for a Martial Artist's life is about combat, and about struggle!"

"The insights gleaned in life-and-death combat are the fastest path for a Martial Artist's advancement."

"Although the Human Race of the past had scarce resources, an uncertain path ahead, and even a lower average talent compared to now, the pillars and top-tier strong from that era explosively emerged."

"While the current generation of the Human Race, known as the generation of the blazing sun, with average talents greatly enhanced, low-grade and supreme talents becoming more common, yet your growth speed couldn't surpass the past."

"This is because the powerful Human Race of today no longer fights day and night, no longer lives on the edge of life and death like in the past. The peaceful era of the Star River is a blessing, but in some ways, it also limits your growth."

Su Tu nodded in agreement with Xu Jinhuan's words. Although he had experienced many battles and struggles, compared to the brutal battlegrounds of the past, with the Star River war, and when countless races fought and civilizations perished instantly, what Su Tu had been through was nothing but child's play.

"Um..." At this moment, Dongdong timidly raised his hand, "Teacher Xu, does this growth limitation include Brother Tu?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan's expression stiffened.

How could he forget this anomaly, Su Tu? He had the authority to access Su Tu's records, which stated that Su Tu began engaging with the Martial Arts Dao three months ago.

As for Su Tu's current realm, it was concealed in the records, and Xu Jinhuan couldn't perceive Su Tu's cultivation either, as there seemed to be a supreme concealment. However, from Su Tu's brief bouts with Bai Man and others earlier, he noticed Su Tu's True Intent of Martial Arts was shrouded in rules.

His realm was at least in the Fifth Realm, having advanced from a mortal body to a Fifth Realm Martial Artist in less than three months, which was absurdly fast; it was explosive throughout the history of the Star River.

If going by what he just said, Su Tu's growth was limited; then if it weren't, perhaps it would be Su Tu calling him teacher instead of the other way around!

Therefore, Xu Jinhuan paused for a moment, then naturally ignored Dongdong's remark, his expression unchanged, and continued speaking.

"Hence, the Sprint Class will provide you with a stage of life-and-death combat, not sparring in nature, but genuine life-and-death struggles — 'slaughter' in various environments and situations!"

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, his warm voice seemed to harbor endless bloodseas, with waves of blood scent pervading from all around.

Hearing this, Su Tu and Dongdong's expressions changed drastically.

While Su Tu and Dongdong waited for what was to come, they only saw Xu Jinhuan lean back, lying directly on the rocking chair: "The specifics will be informed to you when the time comes."
