Unexpected Encounter

School proceeded as usual with various combat activities and training sessions across the available fields.

At this moment, on a particular field, Liu Qian stood, her gaze fixed on five thick wooden planks arranged in a row.

The challenge from the teacher today involved harnessing inner strength. The students were allowed to touch only the first wooden plank and strike it using their inner power.

She touched the foremost plank, her focus intense. Moments later, she pushed her hand slightly forward, and a resounding "Crack!" filled the air.

Three out of five planks shattered.

Liu Qian felt a tinge of disappointment, but the watching students erupted into applause.
