Chapter 64
"You just now, wanted to run as soon as you saw me?" The ponytail girl stared at Gu Qianghan.
"No, just wanted to go to the bathroom," Gu Qianghan shook his head quickly.
"Really?" The ponytail girl’s eyes were full of suspicion.
"Really," Gu Qianghan said decisively.
"Then why aren't you going anymore?" The ponytail girl stared at Gu Qianghan.
"Seeing you, I don't want to go to the bathroom anymore," Gu Qianghan said off the cuff.
"Fart, if you want to run, just say it; anyway, when I want to beat you up, you can't run away," the ponytail girl hummed.
The pretty girl next to her had already started laughing.
Gu Qianghan’s face was almost green; just now he was still bragging to the other party about how powerful he was.
"I’m ignoring you," the ponytail girl tossed her head, then looked at Lin Lanyue not far away, her eyes lit up, and she jumped over: "Sister Yueyue."
"Dongdong, long time no see," Lin Lanyue smiled and opened her arms to hug the ponytail girl.
Lin Lanyue was half a head taller than the ponytail girl, just like a sister hugging her younger sister.
Li Yuan watched the two from the side.
Releasing Lin Lanyue, the ponytail girl looked at Li Yuan curiously, hesitating: "Are you Li Yuan?"
"Mm," Li Yuan nodded.
"Handsomer than Sister Yueyue described," the ponytail girl showed her little tiger teeth and reached out her hand: "Hello, my name is Wu Dongdong."
"Wu Dongdong?" Li Yuan looked at the ponytail girl.
"She is Wu Dongdong," Lin Lanyue smiled and looked at Li Yuan: "January adjustment exam, first place in Jiangcheng City, don't be deceived by her appearance."
"Mm," Li Yuan nodded gently, still feeling a bit unreal.
Full marks in both martial arts skills and physical fitness in the college entrance exam.
A martial arts genius who was hard to produce in Jiangbei Province in a year, looking at the world, was probably the top among his peers; it was hard to match her with the ponytail girl in front of him.
"Sister Yueyue said your martial arts skills are very brilliant; not many people can make Sister Yueyue admire them," the ponytail girl looked at Li Yuan and held out her smart ring watch: "Come, add me on V, let’s spar on the fighting network later."
"Okay," Li Yuan smiled and added the other party as a friend.
Li Yuan could see that Wu Dongdong had an innocent personality, extremely high talent, and was very familiar with Lin Lanyue; her background was probably not small.
"Dongdong, sparring on the fighting network is fine," Lin Lanyue said in a low voice: "But in the skill assessment later, during the melee, if you run into Li Yuan..."
"Understood," Wu Dongdong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "If I run into Sister Yueyue, and Li Yuan, I will finish off the others first, and then we will have a one-on-one."
"What if you run into me?" Gu Qianghan leaned forward, full of expectation.
"Finish you off first."
Time passed, and a quarter of an hour later, aircraft arrived one after another.
At 4:00 PM, everyone finally arrived.
Immediately, Professor Ming gave a passionate speech and finally announced the start of the invitation tour event.
Then, everyone received their campus ID cards separately.
Item one—campus tour.
Li Yuan had to admit.
Jiangbei Martial Arts University was indeed super large, with an area far exceeding ordinary universities.
They took a sightseeing bus and toured around, which took an hour to visit the main campus once.
This did not include visiting the interior of each teaching building.
"So Li Yuan, look, students of martial arts universities mostly run to get around," Gu Qianghan pointed to the students running wildly on both sides of the road: "In the martial arts university, students are not allowed to ride bikes."
Li Yuan looked out.
Indeed!
Very few students were walking leisurely; most were jogging or even running wildly.
Before, Li Yuan had only heard about it on the internet, but this was his first time seeing it.
Like ordinary universities, boys and girls dating under flowers, chatting on the grass, exploring the mysteries of the human body in the woods... were even rarer.
After a brief tour of Jiangbei Martial Arts University, Li Yuan’s impression was four words: "Very big! Very fast!"
After the tour, it was time to eat.
"Ten Blue Star coins?" Li Yuan looked at the sumptuous nutritional meal on the table, a bit surprised.
Outside, it would cost at least two hundred Blue Star coins.
"These ten coins are also to prevent waste; essentially, it’s all issued by the school," Gu Qianghan next to him smiled: "Martial arts university students have subsidies on their campus cards every month; normally, they can’t finish eating, and in fact, food and accommodation are free, and there are extra subsidies... of course, the supply of auxiliary cultivation resources is limited."
"Every month, there will be a ranking, and the higher the ranking, the more cultivation resources you get."
Li Yuan listened to Gu Qianghan’s explanation while eating.
It could be seen that Gu Qianghan knew a lot about the martial arts university.
"The welfare benefits of Jiangbei Martial Arts University are like this, what if I can get into the five prestigious universities?" The more Li Yuan understood, the greater his determination: "I must get in."
"And strive to enter the core tier."
Once he got into the five prestigious universities, he could completely reduce the economic pressure on his uncle and aunt.
"Uncle?" Li Yuan thought of the war in the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm, his eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head to eat.
Wu Dongdong suddenly patted the table and muttered: "I’m going to get another portion."
Subsequently, she got up and rushed out.
"Eating so fast?" Li Yuan was shocked.
He had only eaten half.
"You are comparing eating speed with her?" Gu Qianghan next to him looked at Li Yuan with a strange expression: "Li Yuan, this is her domain."
Li Yuan smiled.
So, this Wu Dongdong was a foodie.
Within ten minutes, Wu Dongdong took four large portions of nutritional meals and finished them all.
Li Yuan prided himself on being able to eat, but he had to admit defeat.
"Li Yuan, Dongdong’s physical talent is very special," Lin Lanyue said: "Her digestion speed... ordinary people can’t compare."
"Besides normal cultivation of high-level cultivation methods, she also eats two Source Power Essence Pills every month," Lin Lanyue smiled.
"Amazing," Li Yuan sighed sincerely.
Physical cultivation, normally speaking, has a limit to growth.
For martial artist cultivation, being able to eat and digest quickly is an excellent talent, and physical growth is destined to be very fast.
"Sure enough."
"In school, it’s like being in a small pond; except for Lin Lanyue, no one is my opponent," Li Yuan put down his chopsticks, his peripheral vision inadvertently sweeping over Wu Dongdong, who was still fighting with her head down.
In the distance, there were all students, and Li Yuan tried to use the Divine Palace to probe.
Any random one had a physical fitness of Level 8 or above.
"Coming to participate in this event and seeing the high school seniors from all over the province, I can realize my own shortcomings," Li Yuan realized one of the purposes of the country holding this invitation event.
It was to tell these students.
Top of the grade? Top of the county? High martial arts talent?
Even if it’s a one-in-a-thousand talent, just in Jiangbei Province, thousands of such talents can be selected in a year.
Looking at the Xia Country? The world?
Or even the entire human civilization? How many martial arts geniuses will emerge in a year?
"Take it step by step."
"From junior high school to now, I have worked desperately to have the opportunity to participate in the invitation event today," Li Yuan’s eyes had a longing deep inside: "This time, I must seize the opportunity."
8:00 PM.
All the visiting students, each holding their student cards, entered the accommodation arranged by Jiangbei Martial Arts University.
"A flat floor?"
Many "poor students" like Li Yuan were a bit shocked.
"Normally, two students share a martial arts room, with an area of over eight hundred square meters, including a martial arts room, bedroom, therapy room, dining room... someone will come to clean it regularly," the junior student leading the team smiled: "Every semester assessment, the top 20% of elite students in grades get independent martial arts rooms."
"The top 5% of students in the martial arts class get detached villas, not including the garden, with a total usable area of 1200 square meters."
"You are here to participate in the battle this time, so two people share one room, don't be picky," this junior student smiled.
Li Yuan and the others finally understood why the martial arts university occupied such a large area.
Just the dormitory area was shockingly large.
"No wonder, the country’s martial arts student quota has never been many," Li Yuan sighed: "Not counting cultivation resources, just accommodation, the consumption of resources is quite shocking."
The entire Jiangbei Martial Arts University accommodates about fifty thousand students year-round, not including teachers and logistics service personnel.
The martial arts university is a five-year system.
Enjoying many resources, the responsibility is also great.
...Men and women are accommodated separately.
Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan were assigned to one room.
After putting down their backpacks, the two sat directly into the virtual network cabin in the lounge.
Consciousness connection.
"Just like what that junior senior said, after entering the campus card data, you can temporarily enter the campus space of Jiangbei Martial Arts University," Li Yuan smiled majestically.
With a thought, he entered.
...Swish! Swish! Swish! Figures appeared out of thin air and sat directly in their seats.
This was a super-large combat space.
Quickly, on the huge circular stepped viewing platform, nearly a thousand people appeared one after another, bustling with noise and excitement.
In the center was a circular arena with a diameter of over 200 meters.
"Li Yuan," a crisp voice sounded; sitting next to Li Yuan was Lin Lanyue, who had dyed her hair red.
Those who appeared before and after were also students from Guanshan District.
Obviously, the system would try to arrange students from the same school and the same district to sit together.
"You came quite early," Li Yuan smiled, then his gaze swept across the four directions: "Do you know the combat rules? By serial number? Or random?"
"It should be pseudo-random screening," Lin Lanyue said.
"Pseudo-random?" Li Yuan was stunned.
"It means trying to separate students from the same school and the same county, trying to avoid multiple people joining forces, ensuring fairness," Lin Lanyue smiled: "For example, if it were completely random, and by accident, ten students from our school were selected into the same battle, would we join forces to clear others first?"
Li Yuan understood.
Two minutes later, the thousands of students participating in this invitation event all had their consciousness descend to this arena space.
All students knew that the first test in the true sense of this invitation event was about to begin.
"Students from all over the province, good evening, everyone," a low voice sounded.
Swish!
A burly man in a black martial arts suit, nearly two meters tall, appeared above the arena, standing in the air, with an extraordinary aura.
"Rules, I will repeat them again," his voice had a built-in amplification effect, resounding throughout the venue.
"Cage melee."
"200 people are selected for each match, randomly boarding the stage to participate in the battle, for a total of 6 matches," the man in black said in a low voice: "In the battle, constantly attack each other; the more enemies killed and the longer you survive, the higher the score."
"Until the final survivor remains."
"Your virtual physical fitness is exactly the same, all at Level 10.0."
"This is a skill assessment."
"The 2nd to 9th place in each match will be rewarded with one hundred thousand Blue Star coins."
"The first place in each match will be rewarded with five hundred thousand Blue Star coins!" The man in black’s voice was vigorous, echoing throughout the combat space.
Li Yuan’s eyes lit up instantly.
"Five hundred thousand Blue Star coins?" Li Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His uncle’s life and death were unknown, and Li Yuan had long ago made up his mind that if it really reached the worst situation, he must be able to support this family.
What is responsibility!
First, it is to make money.
Not only for his own cultivation but also to be able to earn the money needed for his younger brother and sister to go to school.
"My goal is first place," Li Yuan made a decision, his eyes full of longing: "No one can stop me!"
