I just wonder if Ye Chen can beat him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows? Both are at Qi Condensation Level 6—this is going to be good to watch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「……」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo occupied an excellent viewing spot, studying the two fighters on stage and silently analyzing the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On paper, both were at Qi Condensation Level 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhu Hongyuan had reached Level 6 during the summer before his final year, while Ye Chen only reached it at the end of the first semester of his final year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s about a six-month gap between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, Zhu Hongyuan should have the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since they’re both at Level 6, that advantage isn’t as significant as it might seem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qi Condensation levels are nearly identical, what matters most is the quality and mastery of their spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the school library has a variety of Qi Condensation spells, they’re all basic, low-grade techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There aren’t many spells suitable for arena battles, and students mostly just reuse the same handful of techniques with minor variations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re looking for the most practical arena skill, Basic Sword Technique is definitely number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Condensation arena fights are mostly just novices brawling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially students like them, whose spell cultivation is far from refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Lin Mo’s own [Control Fire] and [Rain Summoning] skills—his proficiency is barely better than a tiny flame or a water pistol; they have almost no offensive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they actually hit the opponent, they might just give them a weird “ice and fire” sensation—and if the opponent yells, “That was awesome, do it again!” wouldn’t that be embarrassing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic Sword Technique is far more practical—no matter how poorly you’ve trained it, swinging a wooden sword randomly still has a decent chance of making your opponent scream in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Zhu Hongyuan drew a wooden longsword from his waist, spun a graceful flourish in the air, and said to Ye Chen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you time to get your weapon—don’t lose and then make excuses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked down at him with disdain, crossed his arms behind his back, and sneered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t need a weapon. Just attack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a showy line—got it… Lin Mo thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then don’t regret it later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Hongyuan’s face darkened; he gripped his sword in his right hand, formed a sword finger with his left, and lunged forward with a simple straight thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp whistle cut through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strike was clean, precise, and incredibly fast—not something an ordinary student could manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many spectators below hadn’t even reacted when the sword was already inches from Ye Chen’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this swift, accurate strike, Ye Chen remained calm and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mystical ice transforms into sword beams, frost descends upon all directions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chilling aura gathered at his fingertip, and with his finger as a blade, he thrust directly toward Zhu Hongyuan’s wooden sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Zhu Hongyuan’s wooden sword shattered into pieces, and his body was violently flung backward, crashing onto the stone pavement beside the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spray of blood burst from Zhu Hongyuan’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instant KO?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students around him stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Hongyuan himself was even more stunned—he clutched his aching chest, lay on the ground, and looked up at Ye Chen on the stage, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same Qi Condensation Level 6, he never imagined he’d be defeated so utterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked down at him and said, “You lost. Don’t forget to transfer your cultivation hours to me tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, the crowd erupted in cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Brother Ye is awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One move and he took out the campus top three? That’s insane!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top three? Now the top three has a new member!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t say that—the Immortal Exam is based on scores, not arena fights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who cares? Winning is what matters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He won, sure, but Zhu Hongyuan’s bleeding—wasn’t that a bit too harsh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, maybe… but still, winning is awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「……」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the chaos, Zhu Hongyuan, his expression grim, was carried off by his classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s face showed a flicker of surprise—he hadn’t expected the “protagonist” to be this strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that finger-sword technique just now? Clearly not the Basic Sword Technique taught at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power was immense—could it be a Tier-1 Mid-grade spell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the open market, Tier-1 Mid-grade spells cost at least five low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Converted to ordinary currency, that’s over a million yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he this rich?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo eyed Ye Chen suspiciously—the guy’s family background was as ordinary as he claimed, even poorer than Lin Mo’s family, who sold peaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an average working-class family, saving that much would take decades—so buying it seems impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That leaves only one explanation: [The Protagonist Having a Lucky Break Is Totally Reasonable, Right?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Totally reasonable… Lin Mo couldn’t argue with such a convincing logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen is too strong—he took out Zhu Hongyuan with one move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passersby gushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo shook his head—Ye Chen wasn’t necessarily strong; it was the “fate” effect that was just too powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling when Ye Chen first transferred into Class 10 of Senior Year, he was average in talent, appearance, and personality—just one of the most ordinary students in their ordinary class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he’d risen to become a campus sensation, defeating even the higher-ranked Immortal Second-Generation Zhu Hongyuan with a single move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Ye Chen might have trained hard—but how many students here don’t train hard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zhang Dahai, who constantly dreams of inheriting his family business, sits in meditation over ten hours a day—other students are even more obsessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you go to Nanshan No. 4 High and don’t have hemorrhoids, you’re not even allowed to say you’re from Nanshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in conclusion, the key to Ye Chen’s rise lies entirely in the word “fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Mo walked toward Building Three, he couldn’t help but sigh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This protagonist template is so enviable—when will I ever get my own fate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than a system alert chimed in his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Accumulated merit points reached 1,000. Fate value condensed: 1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo froze in place, mouth slightly open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked, then quickly opened his system interface—and sure enough, a new line appeared below his merit points:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fate Value】: 1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「……」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was momentarily speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—merit points can condense into fate value?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does that mean I can become a fate-blessed protagonist too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the next question arose:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much fate value is needed to become a true protagonist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Lin Mo’s mind conjured Ye Chen’s image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Nanshan No. 4, Ye Chen was the only known fate-blessed protagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years ago, when Ye Chen first transferred in, he was still mild-mannered—he might’ve been able to answer this question back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since he gained the “Fate-Blessed Protagonist” title, his personality changed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From once being gentle, he became arrogant and haughty, practically looking down his nose at everyone, ignoring others’ attempts to talk to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo recalled the last time he spoke to him—it was a year ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d simply asked Ye Chen a question about spells, but was mocked and ridiculed, then dismissed with a cold, “You can’t explain ice to a summer insect,” before strutting off in full show-off mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, Lin Mo had never again tried to warm up to that icy butt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’d never tell me anything even if he could!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to his homeroom teacher, Mr. Li:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Li, how much Qi Fortune do I need to become the Chosen One of Fortune?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Teacher Li’s reply came back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop daydreaming! Finish eating, then come to my office after evening self-study to copy out the Essentials of Qi Refining!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, Teacher Li doesn’t know either… Lin Mo thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Teacher Li’s personality, if he knew the answer, he’d definitely brag about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t, then he definitely didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo no longer dwelled on the issue of Qi Fortune; being able to gather Qi Fortune was already a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he stepped into the first-floor lobby of the third teaching building did he suddenly remember something:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, do I have the potential to become a “protagonist”?\u003C\u002Fp>",1454,"2026-06-21T02:07:02.078Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0cf1b4fc3ff07a8d42ed717e6c070a3fc857797ee9806a0da20071745e5fdc12","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-8","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-6",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcomment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-cover.jpg"]
