(One Week Later, Rodova Military Academy – Practical Combat Class)

In the week following Rodova's dominant performance against the Nature Academy, the atmosphere within the military academy shifted significantly.

Watching the Circuits Team in action firsthand had ignited a fire within the first-year students, pushing them to approach combat with a newfound emphasis on strategy rather than just raw strength.

Gone were the days of mindless brawling, as students began to analyze their fights before engaging, carefully considering their matchups and adapting their tactics accordingly.

By now, nearly everyone in the class had faced off against one another multiple times, giving them a solid understanding of their peers' strengths and weaknesses. This, in turn, made their battles far more intricate and unpredictable, as students tried to outmaneuver one another rather than relying purely on brute force.

However—despite this surge in competitiveness, the dominance of Su Yang, Mu Shen, and Leo remained untouched.

While the rest of the class had grown noticeably stronger and their matchups had become more engaging, the trio continued to stand leagues above their peers, their superiority undisputed.

'It's getting easier and easier to fight within this class…' Leo thought, his fingers flexing as he sidestepped yet another incoming attack with casual ease.

'It's almost like… I don't even feel pressured by any of them except for when I face Mu Shen or Su Yang.'

A faint flicker of disappointment crossed his mind as he realized just how much the gap between him and his classmates had widened.

Ever since he had fully grasped the Complete Marrow Meditation Manual and begun meditating six hours a day without interruption, his body had started undergoing drastic changes.
