Seeing that Li Hua and the other two ignored him, Wang Dong decided to attack first.
"You guys are such cowards. I'll be the first to attack Su."
The other three were still slightly confused, but Wang Dong had already dashed out.
"You idiot! Do you have a death wish? Wait for us!"
Li Hua quickly followed him.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinyu and Chu Chen also followed closely behind.
The arena was not big, to begin with. With a martial artist's speed, they could quickly reach the other side of the arena.
Su Hei did not move. In the blink of an eye, he saw Wang Dong's fist swinging over.
"You're such a boorish person. A martial artist should make the most of everything that comes along their way. Even if a Priest isn't effective in the arena, Chu Chen should be the one to be in the lead. After all, he has the Shield talent."
Su Hei slowly stretched out his palm and grabbed onto Wang Dong's fist.
Su Hei could easily stop Wang Dong's attack. Following that, he effortlessly threw Wang Dong behind the other three.
"Let's attack together!"
Li Hua saw an opportunity and threw a punch toward Su Hei's chest.
Chu Chen rushed forward with a shield in his hand, trying to prevent Su Hei from defending himself.
As for Jiang Jinyu, she displayed the strength of her Assassin talent and flew into the air at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.
She narrowed her eyes and activated Weakness Search to spot the opponent's weakness.
"Good teamwork!"
Su Hei could not help but praise.
The three of them worked together and locked onto his position.
Any other martial artist in the Perfected Realm would have been severely injured by their joint attack.
Li Hua was only an advanced-level martial artist, while Chu Chen and Jiang Jinyu were only intermediate-level martial artists.
Challenging someone of a higher level was something only geniuses would attempt.
Unfortunately, they were besieging Su Hei.
In the next second, Su Hei raised his fist, and a terrifying aura gathered in his hand.
Li Hua, Chu Chen, and Jiang Jinyu's eyes widened. They were aware that they would not be able to withstand this punch.
They wanted to stop their attack, but it was too late.
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle. It definitely won't hurt!" reassured Su Hei.
His mouth curved into a wicked smile. Just when the trio's attacks were about to land on him…
His fist suddenly struck out, and the sound of his fist tearing through the air was like the roar of a tiger in the forest.
Boom!
The three of them were sent flying and fell to the ground.
Immediately after, Wang Dong's expression changed. He quickly turned around, wanting to flee, but it was too late. Su Hei casually kicked him, sending him over to the other three's side.
"Ouch!"
Wang Dong rubbed his butt and got up with a bitter expression.
"Su, you're too ruthless. My tender butt is swollen," he complained.
"Your butt is swollen, to begin with."
Li Hua stood up and looked at Wang Dong indifferently.
"We were completely defeated by him. There is such a great difference between us," Chu Chen said helplessly.

Jiang Jinyu did not say anything, but she nodded in agreement.
Among the transmigrators of Senior Class One, the four of them had the strongest combat strength. However, Su Hei defeated them with one punch despite their joining forces.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen felt a bit bitter.
Before he transmigrated, he was proud and arrogant. He felt that Su Hei was so well-liked by everyone and was so outstanding all because he was born into a well-to-do family.
All along, he thought that if he was also born into an affluent family, he would do even better than Su Hei.
However, after transmigrating to this unfamiliar world, everyone had ordinary family backgrounds, yet the outcome was the same.
Su Hei would always be the most outstanding person and be the center of attention.
He looked at Jiang Jinyu, whose eyes never left Su Hei, and felt even more sorrowful.
Su Hei noticed the change in Chu Chen's mood.
He thought for a bit and said, "All right. My punch earlier contained the essence of the Nine Revolutions Heaven Swallowing Technique. You should grab hold of this opportunity and try to comprehend it."
"All of you must try your best in the recruit tournament."

All the survival bases attached great importance to the recruit tournament.
In addition to having 100,000 seats prepared for the audience, the tournament would also be broadcast live through the media.
The chief instructor, Sikou Nanbo, stood in the lead. Everyone in the boot camp lined up behind him.
There would be two segments to the recruit tournament.
The first part would be for everyone to test their Vitality and combat strength.
The second part would be the actual combat.
The actual combat of the recruit tournament would not be a one-on-one battle between martial artists, but a battle with captured dire beasts.
This was also the main reason why the recruit tournament was welcomed by the people. After all, dire beasts were the greatest enemy in the eyes of humans.
Humans were thrilled to be able to see the dire beasts being killed by humans.

In the center of the spectator stands.
There was a VIP seating area.
Apart from Quilton's higher-ups, there were also diplomatic representatives from the other bases sitting there.
At this moment, Zhan Kong was having a friendly conversation with a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and with those diplomatic representatives.
The man in the suit was the chief minister in charge of the internal affairs of the Quilton Base, Tang Guosheng.
"How are you, Senator Xu?"
"Senator Zhao, I see that you have gained a lot of weight."
"Oh my, you're the first survival base in Xyperia to send a delegation of envoys. Moreover, your Borneo base has traveled thousands of miles just to watch the recruit tournament of the Zosteylor base. You're really free… Oh, I mean, you really respect us!" Tang Guosheng said to the Borneo diplomats.
Borneo's diplomat group did not understand Zosteylor's language well. Seeing that Tang Guosheng was always smiling, they thought that he was trying to express his friendliness toward them.
Hence, they kept trying to show off their knowledge of the Zosteylor language.
"Thank you! You're welcome! F*ck you! One size fits all!"
Tang Guosheng and Zhan Kong exchanged confused looks with one another.
"Are all the people in Xyperia so stupid?"
"What on earth are they saying? Whatever they say is rubbish."
After finishing their chat with the various diplomats, Tang Guosheng and Zhan Kong returned to the main seat and sat down.
Tang Guosheng hid his seriousness behind a smile.
"Have you heard from brigade one yet?" he asked.
Zhan Kong shook his head. He could feel a headache coming on.
"The news was cut off for three days. I asked the diplomatic representatives from Borneo Base, but they all said that they don't know anything about it… I have a feeling that something is fishy about it."
"Should we send more people out?" Tang Guosheng asked.
Zhan Kong shook his head. "The City Defense Team doesn't have enough manpower, to begin with. We sent brigade one out to carry out a mission, and now that they're missing, we sent out another two teams to find them. The city walls' defense is reduced. If a beast tide happens at this time, there will be problems."
Hearing that, Tang Guosheng felt even more distressed. He pressed his hand to the bridge of his nose.
After a while, he was about to speak.
The sound of a loudspeaker rose from below.
"The Recruit Tournament will commence now!"
