The young martial arts students in the classroom immediately grew secretly excited, looking at the two of them, waiting to watch a good show of kicking someone when they're down.

If it were before, William Harris would definitely have tried his best to avoid conflict with someone like Eric Johnson, a scion of a powerful family, and not cause trouble, so as not to affect his studies at Nancheng Martial Academy.

But now, William Harris merely cast a cold glance at Eric Johnson, his eyes looking at him as if he were a barking dog, not even bothering to respond.

After experiencing such a dramatic rise and fall, his mindset had already begun to change, and he no longer cared so much about others' attitudes.

"Damn, what kind of attitude is that, you loser? Looking for a beating, huh!"

Eric Johnson immediately flew into a rage, his eyes fierce, and he wanted to stand up and give William Harris a good thrashing.

After all, he was the strongest in the class.

For William Harris, a weakling with a combat power of one, to dare look at him with such naked contempt—was he trying to rebel?

"Eric Johnson, you're a dignified second-level martial artist. Does bullying a first-level weakling really show off your skills?"

At this moment, Sandra Cooper suddenly rebuked him softly, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes glaring angrily at Eric Johnson.

Then she looked at William Harris with a somewhat apologetic gaze, as if she felt sorry for bringing him such trouble. If it weren't for her, Eric Johnson wouldn't have had the slightest interest in picking on someone like William Harris.

Eric Johnson's expression changed, and he glared fiercely at William Harris. "Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, loser. If Sandra hadn't always protected you, I would have crippled you three years ago."

He sat down sullenly, not wanting to become a brute who only bullies the weak in the eyes of his goddess, Sandra Cooper.

"Weakling?!"

William Harris's body swayed slightly, a trace of cold mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth. So, in Sandra Cooper's heart, he had always been this pitiful figure.

To think that he had once naively believed he held some place, some affection, in Sandra Cooper's heart. It seemed it was all just his own wishful thinking.

"Are you all done making a scene!"

Megan Walker slapped the desk, intimidating the group of youths. Her phoenix eyes swept over everyone, and she shouted sharply, "William Harris, answer the question I just asked. I will now pick a publicly recorded deed of a Martial King from a neighboring country for you to recite! This is a very simple adventurer system assessment question, testing your breadth of knowledge. The more detailed your answer, the better."

On the Divine Martial Continent, the human race is divided into nine major professional systems: Martial Arts, Rune, Beast Taming, Commerce, Priesthood, Alchemy, Forging, Adventurer, and City Lord.

Among them, the Adventurer system focuses on broad knowledge and experience, not on combat.

A very important aspect of the Adventurer system's assessment is mastery of the world's vast knowledge, such as biographies, history, geography, and so on—these are the basics for adventurers.

If an adventurer doesn't understand this world, how can they talk about adventuring!

William Harris took a deep breath, calm and composed, and said slowly:

"In my Canglan Kingdom, there are currently thirteen Martial Kings alive. Across the eight hundred vassal states, there are a total of thirteen thousand two hundred and seventy-three Martial Kings alive. The Zixuan Empire of the Divine Martial Continent has a total of forty-one thousand three hundred and two Martial Kings. May I ask which Martial King's life story the instructor is interested in? Or perhaps, would you like to hear about a Martial King who passed away in the last thousand years? Of course, you can also pick a Beast King from the Beast Tribe, a Ghost King from the Ghost Tribe, or a Spirit King from the Spirit Tribe—anyone you like. You choose, I answer!"

Within William Harris's sea of consciousness, the ancient book 《殇》 was floating.

He injected a strand of his spiritual power into the book.

The pages of the divine book flipped rapidly.

The boundless and profound knowledge and memories contained in the billions of pages of 《殇》 easily covered all the information on every Martial King in the history of the Divine Martial Continent.

Not to mention the human Martial Kings.

Even if the test was about Martial Kings from other races, so what!

All the young martial arts students in the class, who had been waiting for William Harris to embarrass himself, now stared wide-eyed.

A look of shock and astonishment, dead silence!

Was William Harris's counter-question a public challenge to Instructor Megan Walker's mastery of knowledge?

Before teaching at Nancheng Martial Academy, Instructor Megan Walker had been a truly experienced adventurer, training all over Canglan Kingdom, and only returned to teach at Nancheng Martial Academy a few years ago.

Chapter 3: The Shock of the Last Lesson

"Thirteen thousand two hundred and seventy-three Martial Kings alive in the eight hundred vassal states? Forty-one thousand three hundred and two Martial Kings in the Zixuan Empire of the Divine Martial Continent? How does he know such detailed numbers?"

Megan Walker's eyelids twitched violently, shock filling her heart.

Knowing there are thirteen Martial Kings in Canglan Kingdom is nothing special.

As long as you're a citizen of Canglan Kingdom, you basically know about these thirteen Martial Kings, and can even recount some of their famous deeds.

She had originally planned to pick a Martial King from a neighboring country, something a bit more difficult, and have William Harris recite it.

But how could William Harris know how many Martial Kings there are in the eight hundred vassal states? Or how many in the Zixuan Empire?

This is a major statistical secret of the human race, and would never be leaked easily.

Otherwise, the Beast Tribe could easily take advantage.

Moreover, even as an adventurer, it's unlikely anyone could memorize the life stories of over forty thousand Martial Kings in the Zixuan Empire!

"King Xu Ling! Tell me about this Martial King's life and deeds."

Megan Walker quickly changed the subject.
