Chapter 66: Li Yuan's Appearance
Chapter 66: Li Yuan's Appearance
"The Blue Planet Youth Rankings? Top thirty?" Li Yuan nodded in agreement.
To reach the Meteor Rank, one must at least achieve Mind-Body Unity.
Once Mind-Body Unity is attained, Mind-Body-Weapon Unity is no longer a bottleneck; success is guaranteed, it's just a matter of time.
According to the data he obtained from the Star Combat Network a few days ago, there were already 164 individuals on the Blue Planet Youth Rankings who had achieved the Meteor Rank.
"Based on my previous estimates, a perfect score in Martial Arts Skills for the National College Entrance Exam would most likely be Fourth Stage," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Could it be that a few months ago, this Tian Dazhuang had already reached the Fourth Stage in Blade Skills?"
If that were true, this would be the stage where one's strength increases rapidly at this age.
After a few months, his strength would undoubtedly be even more formidable.
The top thirty on the Blue Planet Youth Rankings? Li Yuan didn't think it was impossible.
"In this world, what's most abundant are geniuses," Li Yuan increasingly realized the significance of this statement.
Just then—
"Sis, don't scold me, it was just an accident." Gu Qiang Han turned to Lin Lan Yue, "Wait till I try my best next time, I'll definitely..."
"Why are you explaining yourself to me?" Lin Lan Yue furrowed her brows, "Since you've lost, just watch the match carefully, observe your opponent, and see where you fell short."
Gu Qiang Han immediately shut his mouth.
He obediently turned his attention to the battle on the arena.
In reality, Gu Qiang Han wasn't lacking in talent, nor was he short of cultivation resources.
It was just that he was born in a carefree environment, with indulgent parents, and had never faced any pressure growing up... In school, most of his classmates were happy to befriend him.
...
On the arena—
"So weak! It seems that Senior Long was right, within the entire Blue Planet, my Martial Arts Skills are indeed among the best of my peers." Tian Dazhuang shook his head slightly, "Then, let the slaughter begin."
"Clang!"
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The blade skills were fierce and swift! Each slash was unstoppable.
Dodge? Impossible!
Block? Unbearable! Not a single person could withstand two strikes from that mountain-splitting blade.
Blood splattered!
Tian Dazhuang's score soared to the top, continuing to rise and leaving the second-place far behind.
"So strong? Weren't their physical fitness scores the same?"
"Attack him!"
"Surround him!" The faces of the other participating students changed, as they had all realized the ruthlessness of this killing god. Without hesitation, they surrounded Tian Dazhuang.
They were all aware that if they didn't take care of Tian Dazhuang, none of them would have a chance at first place.
Of course, many others subconsciously retreated, wanting to avoid Tian Dazhuang.
"Surround him?"
Tian Dazhuang's expression remained unchanged as he wielded the mountain-splitting blade in his hand. His figure was ghostly and unpredictable, surprisingly, faster than all the other participants around him.
He burst out of the encirclement.
Then, the slaughter continued! It was known that those who were invited to this activity were undoubtedly elite students, all with the hope of being admitted to one of Xia Nation's Top Five Martial Arts Universities.
However, when these elite students faced Tian Dazhuang, this unremarkable youth, they couldn't stop him.
Wielding the mountain-splitting blade, he slashed from the north end of the arena to the south, and no one could stand in his way!
...
On the arena, all the students who hadn't participated yet were in awe, staring at the figure on the stage.
"So fierce!"
"The one with the blade is too strong, he's on a completely different level from the others."
"Who is he? I don't recognize him."
Many people turned their gazes to the giant scoreboard above the arena, which could be seen from various angles.
"Tian Dazhuang? I think my great-great-grandfather was named Dazhuang."
"Who names their kid like that these days?"
"I remember now, he's from Shi Prefecture, and he got a perfect scores in Martial Arts Skills during the January Exam!! He's the only one from Shi Prefecture to achieve a perfect score!"
"Impressive!"
"Holy shit, the top scorer in our city, look, he was killed by Tian Dazhuang's three slashes? That's so satisfying! Last time, this idiot made fun of me."
"Is he a high school student?" The entire grandstand was in an uproar.
The figure holding the mountain-splitting blade was unremarkable, standing at less than 1.8 meters tall.
But at this moment, he was the undisputed king of the arena.
Tian Dazhuang, a very ordinary, even old-fashioned name.
However, everyone would remember it.
...
Northern Jiang Wu Dao University, located within the War Fortress, had its main teaching building.
In one of the super-large conference rooms, five teams were seated.
These individuals were teachers from Xia Nation's Top Five Martial Arts Universities and were the 'Observers' for this special training invitation.
Their task was to observe these students.
At that moment, every observer was focused on the 3D projection in front of them, which displayed the invited students' 'Cage Free-for-all' battle.
Each observer could rotate the projection 360 degrees for a comprehensive view of the combat from various angles.
"This Tian Dazhuang."
"Fourth Stage skills! His blade skills are probably already at the middle of the Fourth Stage."
"His agility is also at the Fourth Stage."
"His skill level is barely at the SS Rank."
"SS Rank? I think he's still a bit short, but he's indeed impressive."
"Not just the Blue Planet, but even within Xia Nation, according to our collected data, his Martial Arts Skills can definitely rank within the top five." The observers from the Top Five Martial Arts Universities took notes and discussed among themselves.
"From a poor family, his willpower is definitely sufficient, and he's awakened his Martial Spirit, giving him an S Rank is no problem."
"Look at his decisiveness and calmness in battle, he won't be bad in actual combat."
"As long as he's not too bad in actual combat, there's no issue."
"At least S Rank," the observers from the Top Five Martial Arts Universities almost unanimously made their judgments.
They would collect data, organize, and predict the students who could reach S, A, and B Ranks, in descending order.
Then, during the invitation activity, they would observe each student's Martial Arts Skills, Physical Fitness, and actual combat abilities, among other aspects.
In the end, any student meeting the A Rank or above would directly receive a special training invitation.
For the B Rank, it would depend on the number of students.
Of course, the data was mainly based on the January Exam, which was quite some time ago.
There would undoubtedly be changes after such a long period.
In the history of the competition, almost every session had students who exceeded expectations and unleashed their true potential.
...
Time passed, and the battles between experts were swift and intense. Within ten minutes, the first match concluded, leaving only Tian Dazhuang standing on the arena.
He was the undisputed first.
Dong Haifeng? His score ranked him at a mere 110th place, making him rather unremarkable.
...
The second match began swiftly.
Wang Yu entered the arena and immediately unleashed her power.
She wielded a sword and shield, her lithe figure clad in light armor, and her fiery combat style left a deep impression on the audience.
Once again, the entire student body was stunned.
"She's so strong!"
"Can a girl be this powerful?"
"Damn, I was just checking her out, brothers. She's all yours now."
"She's incredible." The students were all amazed.
If Tian Dazhuang's performance was described as domineering, Wang Yu's sword and shield skills were mysterious and unpredictable, making her a formidable opponent even when surrounded.
"Who's stronger, Wang Yu or Tian Dazhuang?"
"It's hard to say. They're both incredible."
"Both are at the pinnacle of martial arts skill. Is this what perfection looks like? Damn, if we fought them, we'd be completely crushed." The students discussed among themselves.
After the first match, many students could still console themselves with the thought, "It's not that we're weak; it's just that they're too strong."
However, Wang Yu's appearance truly made these students understand the significance of a perfect martial arts score.
Most elite students had martial arts scores below 360 points.
Even those with scores of 360 or 370 points, when facing Wang Yu, were typically defeated in an instant.
Only those with third-rank advanced martial arts skills could withstand a few moves against her.
Fourth-rank martial arts skills, combined with mind-body-weapon unity, and with her exceptional physical fitness, the potential of her muscles, tendons, and strength were far beyond that of second or third-rank martial arts skills.
"Tian Dazhuang's strength seems even greater," Li Yuan observed, his gaze fixed on the fiery-bodied girl on the arena.
"Is that so?" Lin Lan Yue was curious, "How can you tell?"
"His movement techniques," Li Yuan affirmed, "Tian Dazhuang's movement techniques are stronger, but Wang Yu's shield techniques... aren't perfect yet, probably not at the fourth rank."
Lin Lan Yue nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Yuan's assessment, which was similar to what her sword technique teacher had said.
...
In the third match, Wu Dongdong and Lin Lan Yue were both selected.
This battle...
Wu Dongdong also showcased her extraordinary skills, wielding a long spear that moved like the wind and lightning.
Her agile movements were terrifying, and she swept through the entire arena!
Li Yuan was not surprised by Wu Dongdong's performance, but what caught him off guard was Lin Lan Yue.
"Second place?" Li Yuan looked at the final rankings on the leaderboard.
Lin Lan Yue had surged to second place.
One factor was that Wu Dongdong had been intentionally assisting Lin Lan Yue, allowing her to avoid excessive ganging up.
But on the other hand, Lin Lan Yue's sword skills had indeed improved.
"Third-rank advanced? She should be around 80% of the third rank." Li Yuan made his assessment.
In the past six months, her progress had been rapid.
...
After the first three matches, there was a one-minute break.
On the viewing platform.
"Damn, sis, Dongdong, you two are first and second. How am I supposed to show my face in the neighborhood now?" Gu Qiang complained, "We were supposed to be the neighborhood's three heroes, and now I'm the loser?"
"Gu Qiang, you're first too!" Wu Dongdong joked.
She had just switched seats with someone else and was sitting next to Lin Lan Yue.
"I'm in last place!" Gu Qiang shook his head, "What bad luck, to face Dazhuang right at the start."
"You're still first." Wu Dongdong laughed.
"Li Yuan, if you also make it into the top ten, I'll have no face left." Gu Qiang pitifully pleaded.
"Alright, if I don't make it into the top ten, I'll commit suicide at the start of the match. How's that?" Li Yuan joked.
"Forget it, I was just kidding. You should still give it your all." Gu Qiang became dispirited, his eyes losing focus as he lay down with his limbs spread out, "I'll just think about how to explain this to my dad... Last place... Sigh, I'm going to get beaten up again."
"Last time I got beaten up... was the first time."
The people around them all laughed heartily.
After a one-minute break...
In the arena.
"The fourth match, begin!" The black-robed warrior on the arena announced.
Swish!
Li Yuan disappeared from his seat.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Holding a long spear and clad in light armor, Li Yuan appeared on the arena alongside the other 199 combatants.
"Hmm?"
"This isn't good." Fan Jin's heart skipped a beat, "Why is another A-rank student, Wu Luo, standing next to Li Yuan?"
"This Wu Luo, seems to have entered the top 1000 of the Blue Planet Youth Rankings, even earlier than Li Yuan."
"We're in trouble!"
