Systemless Villain

Chapter 145 Caught In a Moment

Zhu Qing gently pushed open the door, revealing it was the entrance to the women's restroom.

Everyone promptly entered the available toilets. However, Liu Qian noticed there were no unoccupied toilets, but her gaze landed on the last one whose door seemed to be unlocked.

'Maybe someone forgot to close the door,' she thought to herself.

With that, she walked over casually. Her hand touched the doorknob and pushed it open.

But her eyes widened in shock when she saw the contents inside. Her cheeks flushed in the next moment as she instinctively covered her mouth.

In front of her, she witnessed Long Tian and Li Yue'er locked in a raw, passionate embrace.

The expressions on Long Tian and Li Yue'er's faces also displayed surprise, especially Li Yue'er, whose cheeks turned drastically crimson.

Deep-seated anger and frustration immediately filled Liu Qian's face. She slammed the door shut, leaving in a hurry, the loud thud of her footsteps indicating how furious and irritated she was.

One of her friends who had just exited the restroom looked confused. "Why does she look so angry?" she pondered.

She glanced towards the far end of the restroom and saw nothing suspicious.

"That's what I was afraid of!" Li Yue'er scolded in a hushed tone while hurriedly putting her uniform back on.

"But it's all in good fun," Long Tian responded nonchalantly.

"Ugh, I never want to do this again!" Li Yue'er retorted, frustration evident in her voice.

"Alright, my mistake. I forgot to lock the door," Long Tian admitted, his tone casual despite the situation.

Li Yue'er just shot him a sharp and furious glare. Her heart was racing faster at this moment.

Long Tian simply smiled and shook his head. He hadn't anticipated getting caught; he wouldn't have been concerned if it were a teacher, but facing Liu Qian was an entirely different matter.

Now, repairing his relationship with her seemed like a daunting task.

Back on the field, Liu Qian's expression didn't look good. If there were no people around, she would express just how angry and frustrated she was.

Unexpectedly stumbling upon that, Long Tian and Li Yue'er even engaged in such activities within the school premises, it made her extremely angry.

The thought of inviting Long Tian for dinner evaporated instantly.

At this moment, she saw a young man of her age approaching her.

"Hey, Liu Qian, want to practice together? The teacher said the duel session will start soon. So, I thought we could..."

"Shut the fuck up!" Liu Qian cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

She immediately walked away to another location, leaving the young man feeling awkward and embarrassed.

Long Tian and Li Yue'er strolled back to the field; they appeared casual again.

At this moment, a teacher approached them. "You're Long Tian, aren't you? It's your turn for the internal energy test," he stated.

"Oh, it's my turn? Alright, let's proceed," Long Tian replied.

"Come with me," the teacher instructed.

With that, Long Tian trailed after the teacher, while Li Yue'er made her way back to her group of friends.

"Oh, there goes Long Tian; it seems to be his turn now."

"I bet he can smash at least four wooden blocks."

"Yeah, he's the toughest one among us."

The students who witnessed Long Tian accompanying the teacher engaged in chatter among themselves.

Long Tian had already garnered significant popularity even before his transmigration; he frequently emerged victorious in competitions and inter-city contests.

Liu Qian, on the other hand, also noticed Long Tian, but she swiftly moved to another spot, her heart still heavy with irritation just at the sight of him.

At that moment, Long Tian and the teacher reached the testing area, where five wooden blocks were arranged inside a large glass container.

"Let's begin; the rules are simple—utilize your internal energy," the teacher instructed.

Long Tian simply nodded and placed his hand on the foremost block.

Without much effort or concentration, he nonchalantly pushed his hand forward, and a series of loud "Crack!" sounds reverberated in quick succession.

The five wooden blocks and the glass container shattered into pieces.

The students and teachers who observed this were immediately rendered speechless.

"Whoa, everything shattered!"

"Damn, how powerful is Long Tian?"

"Hey, he's the young master of the Long family; his strength is clearly that of a dragon."

The students buzzed with discussion; admiration echoed from various corners.

Long Tian smiled contentedly; this test felt akin to playing on a children's playground. His skills were undoubtedly on par with a renowned martial arts school or even an academy.

He turned to the teacher. "So, did I pass?" he inquired.

The teacher sighed, "Yes, you passed. And due to the container breaking, the remaining students will face a different test," he declared.

Long Tian simply grinned and then strolled back toward his friends.

Seconds slipped away, minutes marched on, the sun beat down, and the students perspired, showcasing their unwavering determination to improve.

At this juncture, Xiao Zhu, a teacher, took the microphone. "Alright, listen up. Students who manage to shatter three out of five wooden blocks automatically advance to the dueling round. Those who fall short will join Teacher Chen for specialized training on another field," he announced.

A medley of reactions rippled through the students. Disappointment shadowed those who didn't make the cut for the dueling round, while enthusiasm radiated from those who did.

The students were divided into two groups, with 36 qualifying and 79 not qualifying.

At this moment, five arenas materialized from spatial pouches; these were specially designed to nullify the cultivation bases previously used.

"Very well, let the matches commence. Chou Ji vs. Han Yang, Su Jian vs. Ou Long... And Liu Qian vs. Li Yue'er, the ten of you, please proceed to the arena," declared Xiao Zhu.

Long Tian raised an eyebrow, not expecting Liu Qian to face Li Yue'er.

This was the second time they met in the arena; previously, they had a draw, but now he was curious about who would emerge as the winner.
