Chapter 147

Special Source Power Battle Suit? 500 million Blue Star coins? Li Yuan exclaimed in his heart.

In fact, Li Yuan knew a little about source power weapons and knew they were very expensive.

When communicating with Gu Qianghan before, the other party mentioned it many times, and when taking general education classes involving Second-Stage alien beasts, teachers would occasionally talk about it.

But this kind of special Source Power Battle Suit, Li Yuan knew for the first time.

"Li Yuan, there are two things you need to know." Fei Gan said: "First, a special Source Power Battle Suit can only exert enough effect after reaching Level 15."

"So, after your body reaches Level 15, and your teacher informs the Martial Hall, the Martial Hall will secretly send it." Fei Gan said solemnly: "Regarding the special Source Power Battle Suit, you must keep it secret; after getting it, you must never tell anyone."

"Gifting a special Source Power Battle Suit is to protect you... not to harm you."

"I understand." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

This is the same reason Dean Hai didn't let him directly contact 'Star Essence Crystal'.

An innocent man is guilty of his own treasure.

A treasure worth hundreds of millions of Blue Star coins placed on him, once leaked, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't take a risk.

That would be counterproductive.

"Second, this special Source Power Battle Suit will be returned to the Martial Hall after you become a Source Martial Artist." Fei Gan smiled: "You only have the right to use it."

"After all, it only helps First-Stage martial artists greatly; after you become a Source Martial Artist, it's no different from a normal Second-Stage Source Power Battle Suit."

"Good." Li Yuan smiled.

He was still wondering just now why the Martial Hall spent so much money; it turns out it's the right to use it.

But it is enough to show the Martial Hall's emphasis on him.

After all, if he dies while roaming outside, the battle suit will naturally be lost.

After he becomes a Source Martial Artist, he can just buy a normal Source Power Battle Suit for 50 million Blue Star coins.

Not long after hanging up the communication with Fei Gan, Li Yuan received a separate contact from Wan Qinghe.

"Uncle Wan." Li Yuan smiled, changing his address.

"Congratulations, signing an S-level contract; from now on, my sequence level in the Martial Hall will be one level lower than yours."

When he was with Fei Gan just now, he was quite serious and official.

"No matter what level I am in the Martial Hall, you are still my Uncle Wan." Li Yuan smiled: "Uncle Wan, your help to me, I have always kept in my heart."

"Haha, the things I helped you with are all small matters; it mainly depends on yourself." Wan Qinghe smiled, feeling much more comfortable.

Li Yuan had a smile on his face, knowing Wan Qinghe's worry.

With his strength and talent revealed to be stronger and stronger, his status in the Martial Hall was already vaguely higher than Wan Qinghe's.

Wan Qinghe smiled: "Speaking of which, in Jiang City, you should be the only martial arts genius to sign an S-level cultivation contract."

"The only one?" Li Yuan was curious; he really didn't know this data.

"Yes."

"S-level cultivation contract, money is only one aspect, it also represents all-round protection, as well as many permissions; these are invisible benefits that your school contract cannot compare to." Wan Qinghe said solemnly.

Li Yuan nodded, feeling the special nature of the Martial Hall contract.

The school's contract focuses on cultivation, but there are no special privileges outside the school.

But the Martial Hall's L6 level can truly mobilize a large amount of invisible Martial Hall power other than money.

"Not to mention anything else."

"Just the permission to appeal directly to the Provincial Inspector, it is enough to make a bottom-level Hall Master like me fear." Wan Qinghe said emotionally: "Li Yuan, you will know slowly in the future."

Li Yuan understood the implication, smiled and said: "Good, Uncle Wan, if you have anything you need me for in the future, definitely tell me, I will definitely help with all my might."

Why did Uncle Wan single out this seemingly inconspicuous permission among the ten-plus permissions of L6 level?

Perhaps it was really unintentional.

Perhaps there is a deeper meaning.

"Haha, if there's really something in the future, I won't be polite." Wan Qinghe smiled: "You can also rest assured to practice in school; I will pay attention to things at home."

"Although the Fish Spirit Clan has had signs of activity in Jiang City recently, everything is within controllable range and has no impact."

"Like the Starfire South Lake residential area, the protection intensity is already high, and I will pay special attention to it." Wan Qinghe smiled.

"The Fish Spirit Clan is active again?" A glimmer of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

"Always active."

"Your permission level has improved; you will know when you check the Martial Hall database; the Fish Spirit Star Realm has been infiltrating Jiangbei Province." Wan Qinghe said solemnly: "Jiang City is the provincial capital, with key defense, so the danger is not that big."

"In many towns below, the casualties are heavy."

Li Yuan nodded slightly; having grown up in Jiangbei since childhood, he knew a thing or two without checking the data.

Every year, in Jiangbei Province.

The number of people who died due to the alien race of the Fish Spirit Star Realm, scattered and added up, is at least thousands, and at most tens of thousands.

"By the way."

"Muhua's performance in school is good." Wan Qinghe said casually: "I will observe and guide him more, striving to sign a D-level cultivation contract for him when he is in his freshman or sophomore year of high school."

"Uncle, don't force this matter." Li Yuan shook his head: "Be strict with him; if he doesn't meet the standards, you must not give him a cultivation contract."

"Haha, don't underestimate your younger brother." Wan Qinghe smiled.

Not long after.

The two hung up the communication.

Jiang City, Starfire Guanshan Branch, inside the Hall Master's office on the ninth floor.

"S-level contract?" Wan Qinghe muttered to himself, the smile on his face getting brighter: "Li Yuan's growth is really fast."

The only one in Jiang City?

No, this is the only one in Jiangbei Province; one can imagine how much Li Yuan will be valued.

"Gu Zheng." Wan Qinghe looked down at a document on the table and muttered to himself: "Just wait."

"Wait for Li Yuan to come back, use his appeal permission to give you a hard time, and you'll have enough to suffer."

Gu Zheng is the Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall in another district of Jiang City.

Wan Qinghe really wants Li Yuan to help.

However, he won't speak easily; he has a lot of patience and needs to wait for an excellent opportunity.

Before this.

What Wan Qinghe has to do is to continuously strengthen and bind the relationship with Li Yuan.

One minute later.

"Essence Crystal is a rare treasure nurtured between heaven and earth, with many wonderful uses: strengthening the body, cultivating juniors, strengthening the soul, recovering from injuries... the uses are extremely wide." Dean Hai explained: "Its types are also many."

Kimura Tatsuo widened his eyes, and the moment his figure disappeared, he seemed to want to say something.

"You were the one who asked me to give it my all." Li Yuan shrugged.

This was the fastest match of the top eight to four.

"Heavenly treasures, obtained." Li Yuan revealed a smile; the basic goal of this Ten-School Freshman Battle had been reached.

Next.

It was time to completely relax and give it his all to charge into the finals.

……Thus, the first three of the top four had been decided: Tantai Feng, Yu Ming, and Li Yuan.

And the final spot in the top four would unfold between Guan Ying and Vikram.

But!!

Exceeding almost everyone's expectations, Guan Ying, this top genius from Starfire University, the female blade wielder who had revealed astonishing strength in both the second and fourth rounds.

In the most crucial match for the top eight to four, she actually…… lost! She lost to Vikram from the Tianzhu Nation!

"Guan Ying lost?"

"She is a top genius from Starfire University, yet she lost?" The entire spectator stand was in an uproar.

Especially the Xia Nation spectators; they had already prepared for the 'best-case scenario' where the top four were all Xia Nation martial arts geniuses.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, a dark horse had emerged.

"Won!!"

"Vikram!! Top four!!" The spectators from the Tianzhu Nation, however, were completely crazy, immensely excited.

Who could have thought.

After Garava, the most promising from the Tianzhu Nation, lost to Li Yuan, Vikram, who was originally not favored, had miraculously turned the tables.

Successfully charging into the top four.

The top four and the top eight were completely different.

"Vikram, such strong blade soft-art."

"He also uses dual blades, but his blade technique is even more bizarre."

"Another Fourth-Stage High-Tier." Li Yuan, Yu Ming, and Tantai Feng, these three winners, all stared at Vikram, who had struggled to win and charge into the top four.

They could all see that Guan Ying had indeed been somewhat careless, but Vikram's strength was indeed extremely fierce, and he had been hiding his strength before.

Erupting all at once, he caught Guan Ying off guard.

"Won."

"Garava, this time, I have surpassed you." Vikram was also extremely excited; he had stepped into the Fourth-Stage High-Tier less than half a month ago.

But he hadn't gone to challenge the Starry Sky Combat Network, just waiting to erupt at the Ten-School Freshman Battle.

From the beginning of this grand competition until now, the hundreds of thousands of spectators from the Tianzhu Nation had been focusing on Garava; Vikram had also entered the top sixteen, but had received very little attention.

And today, he had charged into the top four.

This was the charm of martial arts duels; victory or defeat, until the very last moment, one never knows who is stronger.

"Charged into the top four."

"My next opponent is Tantai Feng." Vikram also felt a trace of desire in his heart: "I am Fourth-Stage High-Tier, and he is also Fourth-Stage High-Tier."

"Although the teacher said I am absolutely no match."

"But, there is always a glimmer of hope." Vikram's initial goal was to charge into the top four.

But when he truly charged into the top four of the grand competition, a greater ambition sprouted in his heart.

……

"This Vikram is quite capable of enduring."

"Amazing." In the spectator space in the higher regions, teachers from various countries were all discussing.

Without a doubt.

In the battle for the top eight to four, the most eye-catching was Vikram.

"Dog shit." The black-robed old man 'Ba Qiang', however, felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

Because he watched his arch-rival, 'Nilu', who was also a martial arts professor from the Tianzhu Nation, receiving congratulations from many people.

"Being both from the Xia Nation, why couldn't this Guan Ying be as strong as Li Yuan?" The black-robed old man Ba Qiang muttered in his heart.

……

The most important top four were decided, and the competition continued, without even the slightest rest.

The true semi-finals began directly.

"Two semi-final matches will decide the two true finalists." The burly host was immensely excited: "The first match of the semi-finals is the martial arts genius from Kunlun Martial University, known as the strongest defender of this competition—Li Yuan."

"He will face 'Yu Ming' from Starfire University, known for his fierce attacks!"

The entire spectator space erupted with sky-filling cheers, already plunged into a carnival for the Xia Nation spectators.

Spectators from other countries were relatively quiet; even a few spectators from the Sakura Nation and the East Alliance had already begun to leave.

Because this was a civil war within the Xia Nation, and the participants from their own countries had all been eliminated.

On the arena.

"Li Yuan, I estimate I am no match for you." Yu Ming was very calm, saying in a voice only the two of them could hear: "I only hope for one thing."

"What?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

"After charging into the finals, defeat that show-off Tantai Feng." Yu Ming said in a low voice.

Immediately, without waiting for Li Yuan to react.

Boom! Yu Ming had already charged directly at Li Yuan. After a moment of being stunned, Li Yuan held his spear and waited.

This battle.

Li Yuan and Yu Ming fought fiercely for a long time; to be precise, this battle was purely a remake of the battle between Li Yuan and Garava.

Li Yuan focused on defense, continuing to hone his spear technique.

And Yu Ming.

Although he said he was inferior to Li Yuan, when they truly fought, he also gave it his all, not leaving the slightest room in his moves; the strength of his offensive was even greater than Garava's.

Ultimately, the two sides fought at high intensity for over ten minutes, contributing a brilliant offensive and defensive battle to the over 700,000 spectators at the scene.

Li Yuan won this battle.

And before the final spear strike erupted.

"Yu Ming, many thanks." Li Yuan transmitted this voice, completely ending this battle.

This great battle with Yu Ming gave Li Yuan even more insights, taking him one step closer to a true breakthrough.

"Finals." A glimmer of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes as he disappeared from the arena.

……

"The senior brother won!"

"Charged into the finals." The entire student body of Kunlun Martial University was becoming even more excited.

"That Yu Ming is a top genius from Starfire University, yet he was still defeated by the senior brother."

"Take the championship."

"Number one." Many Kunlun Martial University students were already excitedly shouting for the championship.

Encountering strong enemies one after another.

However, he still swept away all opponents, charging all the way into the final, revealing Li Yuan's powerful strength.

Not only did it make the freshmen of the six colleges of Kunlun Martial University worship him, but it also made all the freshmen of Kunlun Martial University feel admiration and even pride.

……

"First defeated Garava, then defeated Yu Ming; Li Yuan's strength has already been proven." Li Yang smiled: "In the final, I hope he can fight to his heart's content without pressure."

"Mm." Dean Xu nodded.

Li Yuan's performance had already far exceeded their expectations.

……

Soon, the second match of the semi-finals unfolded between Tantai Feng and Vikram.

When Tantai Feng appeared on the arena.

The weapon in his hand once again surprised many people, Li Yuan included.

Because Tantai Feng's weapon had not been changed to a blade and shield; it was still dual blades!

"Still using dual blades?" Vikram felt he had been insulted.

"Tianzhu person, I will teach you how to use dual blades." Tantai Feng said faintly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Vikram was completely enraged: "You Xia Nation person, too arrogant."

Although he also used dual blades, they were weapons he had used since childhood, and combined with soft-art, they could maximize his strength.

What about Tantai Feng? As far as he knew, his strongest weapon configuration had always been blade and shield.

"Arrogant?"

"Vikram." Tantai Feng smiled slightly: "Do you know the difference between arrogance and confidence?"

Vikram was stunned for a moment.

"Strength." Tantai Feng muttered to himself, striking a handsome pose: "When my blade crosses your throat, no one will say I am arrogant."

Flames almost erupted from Vikram's eyes.

"You defeated my teammate."

"Therefore, you are still worthy of my respect." Tantai Feng said faintly: "I will bring out my true strength to send you on your way."

At this moment.

"Fuck!" Vikram finally couldn't hold back, waving his dual blades and howling as he charged up.

Swift as lightning.

He lunged directly at Tantai Feng, both battle blades raised high, ready to slash at the opponent in the next second.

"Soft-blade art?"

"Too slow." Tantai Feng shook his head lightly, his eyes narrowing slightly, the moment the two sides were about to make contact.

Boom!

Tantai Feng finally moved; his body's instantaneous explosive speed exceeded Vikram's by a large margin, and the two battle blades in his hands seemed like two terrifying streams of light crossing the sky.

"Clang!" "Clang!"
