Chapter 65: Elite? I'll Finish You Off in One Move!
Chapter 65: Elite? I'll Finish You Off in One Move!
"One hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?"
Gu Qiang Han, sitting in the back row, had his eyes lit up as he turned around and said, "Sis, if you get half the points and I get the other half, how about that?"
"That's enough for my allowance for half a year." Gu Qiang Han eagerly looked at Lin Lan Yue.
Lin Lan Yue glanced at Gu Qiang Han, "Do you think you can get them?"
Gu Qiang Han paused.
"Li Yuan, with your gun skills, you should have a chance to break into the top ten, but remember not to be reckless." Lin Lan Yue turned to Li Yuan, "The longer you survive, the more enemies you defeat, the higher your score will be."
"Mhm." Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Top ten?
"Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins!" Wu Dongdong, sitting in the back rows, was also excited, waving his hand and shouting, "Sis Yue, with the tens of thousands of allowance I've saved up, I can finally buy the flying motorcycle I showed you!"
"I begged my dad, but he still didn't buy it for me."
"I've decided, I'm going for the five hundred thousand, and I'll buy it secretly!!!"
...
It wasn't just Li Yuan and his group; upon hearing the prize amount, the majority of the students were tempted.
Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins was a massive sum in the eyes of most high school seniors.
Especially for students from families like Li Yuan's or even less well-off.
"One hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?"
"Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?" A student named Tian Dazhuang, with an ordinary appearance, had slightly reddened eyes.
He muttered to himself, "No wonder when I was about to board the flying vehicle, the Director personally told me that this was a great opportunity to make money."
"The first test already has a reward of five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins."
"According to the schedule, there might be more rewards later on." Tian Dazhuang silently recited in his heart, "In these years, the nation has awarded several million Blue Star Coins in total."
"In the past six months of mind-body-weapon unity, my physical cultivation has improved faster, but ultimately, my starting point was too low. Plus, I only awakened my martial spirit in my second year of high school, so my physical fitness is only at 8.5 grade now."
"With my poor physical fitness, I'm unlikely to get first place in actual combat. My greatest advantage lies in my skills."
"I'm determined to win the cage free-for-all." Tian Dazhuang silently stared at the arena.
He was from a remote mountainous area.
In this era, transportation, water conservancy, and various other facilities in the mountainous regions had become extremely convenient, and there were substantial subsidies for impoverished families.
Tian Dazhuang came from the poorest family in the mountains, with elderly grandparents, a severely ill father, a deceased mother, and a younger brother... From middle school onwards, he gradually displayed his terrifying talent in martial arts skills.
Upon entering high school and awakening his martial spirit, Tian Dazhuang's progress accelerated even more.
Various bonuses and rewards from the school and the nation increased, and after awakening his martial spirit in the second year of high school, he was specially recruited by the nation, truly changing his family's fate.
He was the once-in-a-decade martial genius of not only his school but the entire county.
He also carried the hopes of many on his shoulders.
"Fate!"
"I must take control of my destiny." Tian Dazhuang's eyes gleamed with determination, "The principal and the director have shown me so much care; I must achieve something remarkable."
The county high school he attended was very ordinary, so he was the only one selected from his school.
Many knew his name.
But those who recognized his face? Few!
...
"Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?" A girl named Wang Yu had her eyes shining with anticipation.
She was used to such gazes from the boys around her.
"I must get this, so I can buy a new house for my parents sooner and they won't have to squeeze into a small room to rest."
...
Almost all the students present had their emotions stirred, eagerly watching the black-armored warrior host.
Those gathered here were all elites.
Even knowing that their peers were strong, they subconsciously exuded self-confidence.
"In addition to the cash reward..."
The black-armored host on the arena continued to shout excitedly, "Furthermore, dozens of observers from the Top Five Martial Arts Universities are already here in another virtual space, watching you."
"They are expecting great performances from you."
"For ordinary students, the National College Entrance Exam is in June." The host's voice resonated, "But for you elite students..."
"The exam starts today, this very moment!" The host suddenly clenched his fist, trying to hype up the atmosphere.
People were easily influenced, especially the young.
The high-ranking organization hosting this event naturally hoped to witness the best performances from the participating students.
"Do you want to secure a special training contract with the Top Five Martial Arts Universities in advance?"
"Do you want to gain the fastest recognition from the martial arts universities and obtain more cultivation resources after enrollment?" The host waved his arms, turning to face different students, shouting with excitement, "So, today, let's fight with all our might!"
"Burn your passion and hot blood, and showcase your abilities!"
Even the entire combat space resonated with the host's roar, erupting in cheers and shouts.
These cheers and shouts weren't from the students but were part of the combat space's built-in music effects, causing many students to feel their blood boil.
"I announce, in the cage free-for-all, only the winner survives!"
"In the first round!" The black-armored host waved his hand vigorously, his voice booming like thunder, "Begin!"
Swish! Swish! Swish! In the first round, two hundred students randomly selected...
...instantly disappeared from their seats.
"Gu Qiang was chosen." Li Yuan immediately noticed that Gu Qiang Han in the front row had vanished.
"Tian Dazhuang isn't here either; he was also chosen for the first round?"
“Tang Bing is also in,” Li Yuan recalled the more than ten experts that Lin Lan Yue had mentioned to him.
In the first round, three major experts were selected.
“It’s a pseudo-random selection, and it’s based on the January Exam scores,” Lin Lan Yue whispered from the side. “The upper echelons probably grouped the participants according to their January Exam scores in specific skills before conducting the random selection.”
“To ensure that the strength distribution among the participants in each round is balanced.”
Everyone waited patiently.
... After thirty seconds, the selection of weapons was complete.
“Boom!”
With a massive roar echoing, two hundred people, each holding weapons and armor, appeared simultaneously at the edge of the arena, forming a large circle.
Each person had two others beside them, ensuring fairness.
“Hmm?”
Li Yuan’s eyes flickered, and he couldn’t help but say, “The one next to Tian Dazhuang is Gu Qiang. It seems his luck isn’t good.”
On the arena.
Gu Qiang, holding two short axes, looked around. He extended one of the axes, waving it provocatively at Tian Dazhuang, who stood on his left, holding a mountain splitting blade with a blank expression.
“Why is Gu Qiang deliberately provoking Tian Dazhuang?” Li Yuan was surprised. “Has Gu Qiang’s skill reached the perfect level?”
“No, his martial arts skill is only at a 350-point level,” Lin Lan Yue shook her head calmly.
“Let’s see if he can break through to 360 points before the National College Entrance Exam.”
“Then why?” Li Yuan hesitated slightly. “Does he not know about Tian Dazhuang?”
“I didn’t tell him any information,” Lin Lan Yue shook her head.
Seeing Li Yuan’s puzzled expression, Lin Lan Yue gently shook her head. “He’s different from you. You didn’t know the details of the schedule and couldn’t easily access information about others, which is understandable.”
“But him? He has enough resources to learn about the schedule and his opponents in advance, but it seems he didn’t do anything.” Lin Lan Yue sighed lightly. “He doesn’t take such things seriously.”
“Why should I tell him? It’s better for him to learn a lesson.” Lin Lan Yue shook her head.
Li Yuan was speechless, looking at Gu Qiang, who was excitedly wriggling his body, with a somewhat pitiful gaze.
Is this what a sister’s love looks like? Lin Lan Yue’s gaze fell on the arena, and she didn’t say anything more, as there were things she didn’t want to discuss openly with Li Yuan.
This invitation event.
For martial arts geniuses like Li Yuan, Tian Dazhuang, and Wang Yu, who come from ordinary families, it’s a rare opportunity.
But for Lin Lan Yue, Wu Dongdong, and Gu Qiang?
If they have potential and are willing to work hard, they are not short of opportunities.
“Hmm?”
“Dong Haifeng is also in the first round?” Li Yuan’s gaze swept across the arena, and he spotted another classmate.
...
While Li Yuan and Lin Lan Yue exchanged words quickly.
The huge countdown numbers above the arena had rapidly gone from 15 to 3, 2...
“1.”
“Begin.” The black-robed warrior in the sky roared, instantly flying thirty meters high to avoid interfering with any of the participants.
In the next moment, the arena erupted in cheers.
On the arena, the 200 people, who were previously restricted in their movements and unable to leave their positions, suddenly felt free to move.
However, no one moved immediately.
No one wanted to be the showboat.
At the same time, all participants could clearly see their points and round rankings in their field of vision.
This silence lasted only a second.
“Whoosh!”
“Boom!” Someone moved.
This movement was like a massive stone thrown into a calm lake, causing waves to ripple out.
All other participants moved as well.
During the 15-second countdown, everyone had already chosen their first target.
“Boom!”
“Boom!” “Clang!” Instantly, the arena erupted in an incredibly fierce battle.
With 10.0-level physical fitness, each participant’s burst speed reached 22 meters per second, with punch power of 1300 kilograms. Combined with their cold weapons, one could imagine how strong each person’s destructive power was.
Now, all of this concentrated on this small arena.
“Brat...” Gu Qiang Han just excitedly shouted two words.
“Pfft~”
A dazzling blade of light ruthlessly slashed through, and Gu Qiang Han vanished into nothingness.
“The first one.” Tian Dazhuang, holding a meter-long mountain splitting blade, muttered to himself, “Continue.”
He had never cared about Gu Qiang Han’s provocation.
Growing up in his family, what kind of people hadn’t he encountered?
In his eyes, Gu Qiang was just a fool, not worth wasting energy on.
“Boom!” Tian Dazhuang moved several meters, directly charging at a gun skills expert.
“Clang~” A violent weapon clash.
Following that, a lightning-fast slash came.
This gun skills expert was split into two halves by the terrifying mountain splitting blade.
Blood splattered, and he vanished into nothingness.
One move, instant kill!
...
“One move and he’s gone, damn, I’m the last place!” Gu Qiang was the first to return to his seat.
“How is it?” Lin Lan Yue looked at Li Yuan beside her.
Li Yuan was intensely focused on Tian Dazhuang, who was rampaging the arena, and he said softly, “His blade! So fast! Faster than my gun.”
“Definitely fourth stage blade skills! And he’s been at this stage for a long time,” Li Yuan said earnestly.
A hint of admiration flashed in Li Yuan’s eyes.
Experts always admire other experts.
“Yes.”
Lin Lan Yue nodded. “My sword teacher and I have analyzed Tian Dazhuang’s battle videos.”
“He said that, in terms of martial arts skill, Tian Dazhuang should be in the top thirty of the Blue Planet Youth Rankings, or even higher.”
