Chapter 18

"Protected by law?" Wan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "Li Yuan, I admire you."

"To do big things, you must first study the law." Li Yuan laughed.

Immediately, Li Yuan changed the subject: "Are Lin Luanyue and Gu Qianghan cousins?"

"Mm." Wan Xiao said: "It seems they are cousins, anyway they don't have the same surname; they have a very good relationship, that Gu Qianghan is not afraid of anyone, only his sister."

"According to him, it’s because he can't beat his sister that he’s afraid; once he can beat her, he definitely won't be afraid." Wan Xiao laughed: "But I feel that he will never be able to beat his sister in his life."

"Even if it were you, in full-armor combat, I estimate you are not Lin Luanyue’s opponent." Wan Xiao said seriously.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

If he was "slightly famous" in the third year, then Lin Luanyue was truly known to everyone.

Being beautiful was a small part of it.

In the entire Guanshan District No. 1 High School, with thousands of students, couldn't you pick out a few beautiful girls? As a provincial key school, there had never been any talk of school beauties or school hunks.

Most students actually didn't care too much about others in the class, let alone other classes.

Lin Luanyue, as the only "public figure," was mainly because of her cliff-like leading martial arts results.

Absolutely number one.

Since the first year, regardless of big or small exams, as long as it involved martial arts, she was basically number one.

In the second-year final exam, her raw score was 875, and her total score was 962.5, leaving the second place by more than fifty points.

The only exception was the individual score for martial arts skills in the second-year final exam.

It was taken away by Li Yuan for the first time.

"Full-armor combat?" Li Yuan pondered slightly: "What is her physical fitness level?"

"It should be over 8.0." Wan Xiao said: "This is my guess; after all, since I arrived at the elite class, the class hasn't had a small test yet."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

From Lin Luanyue’s physical fitness score last semester, plus her progress speed, it could be roughly estimated... it should be between 8.0 and 8.3.

This was already very terrifying.

By college entrance exam standards, the full score for physical fitness is 500 points, and reaching 10.0 is the full score.

9.0 is 470 points.

8.0 is 440 points.

7.0 is 400 points.

6.0 is 360 points.

5.0 is 300 points.

"At least 8.0? With her progress speed, by the college entrance exam, her physical fitness has hope of reaching 9.0." Li Yuan sighed in his heart: "No wonder everyone says she has hope of being admitted to Starry Sky University, one of the top three martial arts schools in the world."

"The world’s top three martial arts schools, Starry Sky University, Starfire University, and Black Stone University, are better martial arts universities than the top five famous schools in the Xia Kingdom."

Li Yuan never dared to underestimate others.

Lin Luanyue, in terms of talent, was one of the most powerful among the tens of thousands of third-year students in Guanshan District, and in terms of family, she was also extremely good; the key was that she was diligent enough in her own cultivation... she was a truly hardworking martial arts genius.

"Teacher Xu used your spear techniques for comparison in the elite class." Wan Xiao laughed: "But he didn't mention your score, and I didn't expose your spear technique score from the last small test, so Lin Luanyue shouldn't know yet."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The full score for martial arts skills is 400 points; by college entrance exam standards, 320 and 360 are both major thresholds that are very difficult to cross.

"To exceed 320 points, martial arts skills should reach the second stage." Li Yuan pondered silently: "To exceed 360 points, spear techniques and footwork should both reach the third stage level."

As for the full score requirement? Li Yuan didn't know.

Li Yuan hadn't asked Teacher Xu Bo either, so as not to let the other party think he was aiming too high.

"Full-armor combat, her physical fitness is nearly two levels higher than yours, your hope of winning is very slim." Wan Xiao was also a bit excited: "But virtual combat? Hehe! I believe in your spear techniques."

"Wait for the battle on Sunday, I want to watch; remember to send me the room number." Wan Xiao said.

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.

After sending Wan Xiao away, Li Yuan closed the door of the martial arts room.

It became completely quiet.

"Xiao Yu, Bluetooth connection, take over the smart management authorization of Martial Arts Room 4011, the authorization code is..." Li Yuan suddenly spoke.

Rapidly.

"Master, I have taken over the authorization of the martial arts room, very happy to serve you." A gentle female voice sounded.

"Open the martial arts skill evaluation system."

"Open the video analysis system." Li Yuan spoke continuously, then opened the weapon cabinet on the side.

There were a large number of weapons placed there; just the long spears were six, with different lengths and weights.

Li Yuan took out the standard long spear he used most often and placed it on the weapon rack on the side.

Then, he began to silently cultivate the "Rock Cultivation Method."

"A bet of 2,000 Blue Star coins?" Li Yuan moved with his heart, feeling the subtle changes in his body’s tendons and muscles, while also thinking about today’s events.

Li Yuan didn't take this competition to heart at all; he never worried about losing.

Losing wasn't shameful.

The other party was the number one in the grade and a martial arts genius.

Winning or losing? As long as it could allow his martial arts to progress and he didn't lose anything, what did winning or losing count for?

"The number one powerhouse of human civilization, Dongfang Ji, lost more than once on his growth path." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Martial arts is me, external things are hard to disturb my original heart."

"Failure will only be an accumulation on the path of growth."

Li Yuan had read many biographies of Dongfang Ji.

The "Martial arts is me" proposed by the other party didn't mean that he represented martial arts, but referred to "martial arts is my path."

"As long as you devote yourself to martial arts, don't care about others' evaluations, don't care about their praise or belittlement." Li Yuan’s eyes were clear: "Practicing my own path, my heart and my thoughts are the true essence of martial arts; this is my path."

Simply put, walk your own path and let others talk.

In martial arts, you have to surpass yourself.

"However."

"College entrance exam admission is based on rankings; sparring with Lin Luanyue once can also let me know what level these top third-year students' martial arts skills are at now." Li Yuan pondered.

In Independent Martial Arts Room 4001.

"Sister, are you really going to fight him? He doesn't lose anything if he loses." Gu Qianghan stood on the side and shouted.

"2,000 Blue Star coins, it’s nothing to me." Lin Luanyue’s voice was cold, like pearls falling on a jade plate.

She was cultivating a set of fist techniques; as her fists and palms rolled, air waves vaguely burst out.

"It’s not about the money."

"It’s about face." Gu Qianghan shook his head and said: "You are the number one in the grade, he is only in the top twenty; how shameful it would be if you lose."

"Face?"

Lin Luanyue suddenly retracted her palms, her sharp gaze fixed on Gu Qianghan: "You cultivate martial arts, is your pursuit face?"

Gu Qianghan shook his head repeatedly: "Naturally not, but..."

"Shut up."

Lin Luanyue frowned and said: "Aunt spoiled you; you look for people to spar with every day just to show off your strength, for face? No wonder you even dare to engage in private fights."

"Sister, I really won't do it again." Gu Qianghan hurriedly said, but he was muttering in his heart, aren't you also looking for people to duel?

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking."

"I want to spar, not because I want to defeat him, but just to see how powerful the spear techniques that even Teacher Xu praises are." Lin Luanyue said coldly: "As for winning or losing?"

"If I lose, does it hinder me from being admitted to Starry Sky University?"

"It’s two o'clock, roll back to your martial arts room to cultivate." Lin Luanyue frowned.

"Okay." Gu Qianghan turned and slipped away, not wanting to stay for another second.

Near the end of class, in Martial Arts Room 4011.

[Your spear technique realm has improved from 47% of the third stage to 48% of the third stage]

Li Yuan suddenly noticed the reminder in his field of vision and couldn't help but suddenly retract his spear.

"Improved by another one percent?"

"Ever since I created the 'Rock Hidden Dragon' spear move, the progress speed of my spear techniques seems to be faster." Li Yuan thought to himself: "However, if I want to create the 'Ten Thousand Images of Mountains' move I conceived, I’m afraid it will take some time."

This kind of ultimate move that can perfectly mobilize the body’s force, after creating one or two moves, the further you go, the relatively easier it is.

Until one day, any move can reach perfection, which is the fourth stage of spear techniques.

Not long after.

Li Yuan walked out of the Elite Building; before he even reached the cafeteria, he saw a group of classmates surrounding him from afar.

It was Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, and the others; they seemed to have been waiting for a while.

"Brother Yuan, I heard you are going to fight Lin Luanyue to decide who is number one in martial arts skills?"

"No, I heard it’s to decide who is the real number one in the grade."

"Huh? How come I heard that Brother Yuan took the initiative to challenge Lin Luanyue..."

"I heard that as long as Brother Yuan wins, Lin Luanyue will agree to be Brother Yuan’s girlfriend..." A group of people were talking all at once.

Li Yuan: "..."

"Stop!" Li Yuan shouted suddenly, and the surroundings immediately became quiet.

"Who did you hear that from?" Li Yuan asked.

"Wan Xiao, I guess; he was the first to say it in the class group. Brother Yuan, didn't you read the group messages?"

"Anyway, it’s spread." Zhou Qi laughed: "Brother Yuan, tell us, are you really going to pursue Lin Luanyue?"

The surrounding people were also full of curiosity.

"There is indeed a bet." Li Yuan frowned: "But it’s just a normal spar, nothing else."

"I’m going to eat first, I still have to cultivate later." Li Yuan turned and walked towards the cafeteria.

Everyone looked at each other.

A normal spar?

"If it’s a normal spar, is there a need for Brother Yuan to hide it? And walking so fast." Zhou Qi shook his head: "There must be something going on."

"Yeah, I guess so too."

Weekend, 1:50 PM.

Blue Star Virtual Network, Starry Sky Fighting Network.

Personal Duel Platform, Room Number 8673795.

"Number of spectators, 369?" Li Yuan’s consciousness avatar held a long spear and stood on the ring, looking at the number of spectators displayed on the screen above his head, as well as the dense virtual figures on the surrounding spectator stands.

Li Yuan’s brows furrowed into a "chuan" shape.

"Brother Yuan, come on, take down Lin Luanyue."

"Brother Yuan, do her."

"Class 2, Third Year, Brother Yuan is the strongest."

"Lin Luanyue, kill Li Yuan!"

"Li Yuan’s arrogant look is so cocky, a bit punchable."

"I think he’s quite handsome, handsomer than my two boyfriends." All kinds of messy voices were transmitted from the spectator stands.

In the virtual world, people’s words and actions are mostly more unrestrained than in reality.

Li Yuan didn't know why a normal virtual combat spar would turn out like this.

But now, Li Yuan only felt that the high realism of the virtual network didn't seem to be a good thing.

"Li Yuan, get ready." Lin Luanyue stood at the other end of the ring, holding a long sword.

Her virtual image was quite similar to her real image.

It’s just that her long hair had become short hair and was dyed red, losing some solemnity and gaining some wildness.
