Chapter 18: Starry Sky University

"Legally protected?" Wan Xiao was stunned, giving 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 Lanyue and Gu Qianghan cousins?"

"Hmm." Wan Xiao said: "Seems like cousins, anyway they don't have the same surname, they have a very good relationship, that Gu Qianghan isn't afraid of anyone, only afraid of his sister."

"According to what he says, 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, he won't be able to beat his sister in this lifetime."

"Even if it were you, in full-armor combat, I estimate you wouldn't be Lin Lanyue's opponent." Wan Xiao said seriously.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

If he was 'slightly famous by name' in the senior grade, then Lin Lanyue was truly known to everyone.

Pretty, that was a small aspect.

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

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

Lin Lanyue, as the only 'public figure', was mainly because of her cliff-like leading martial arts grades.

Absolutely number one.

Since the first year of high school, regardless of the size of the exam, whenever it involved martial arts, she was basically number one.

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

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

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

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

"Should be over level 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 Lanyue's martial arts score last semester, plus her progress speed, one could roughly calculate... it should be between level 8.0 and 8.3.

This was already very terrifying.

By college entrance exam standards, physical fitness full score was 500 points, and reaching 10.0 was a full score.

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

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

Li Yuan never dared to underestimate others.

Lin Lanyue, in terms of talent, was one of the most powerful among the tens of thousands of senior students in Guanshan District, and in terms of family, she was extremely good; the key was that she worked hard enough in her own practice... she was a truly hard-working martial arts genius.

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

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Martial arts skill full score was 400 points; by college entrance exam standards, 320 and 360 were both big thresholds, very difficult to cross.

"To exceed 320 points, martial arts skill should reach the second stage." Li Yuan thought silently: "To exceed 360 points, spear technique and movement technique 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, to avoid letting 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 also had a trace of excitement: "But virtual combat? Hehe! I believe in your spear technique."

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

"Fine." Li Yuan nodded.

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

It became completely quiet.

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

Quickly.

"Master, I have taken over the martial arts room authority, 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, just the long spears were six, with different lengths and weights.

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

Then, he began to silently practice the 《Rock Cultivation Method》.

"A bet of 2,000 Blue Star coins?" Li Yuan moved with his heart, feeling the faint changes in his body's tendons, bones, and muscles, while also pondering 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, 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 matter?

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

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

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 meant 'martial arts is my path'.

"As long as you fully invest in martial arts, don't care about others' evaluations, and don't care about their praise or belittlement." Li Yuan's eyes were clear: "Practicing my own path, what my heart thinks is the true essence of martial arts, this is my path."

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

Martial arts, what you have to transcend is yourself.

"However."

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

Inside Independent Martial Arts Room 4001.

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

"2,000 Blue Star coins, it doesn't count for much to me." Lin Lanyue's voice was cold, like pearls falling on a jade plate.

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

"It's not a question of money."

"It's face." Gu Qianghan shook his head: "You are the number one in the grade, he is only twenty-something in the grade, how shameful would it be if you lost."

"Face?"

Lin Lanyue suddenly withdrew her palms, staring at Gu Qianghan with sharp eyes: "You practice martial arts, what you pursue is reputation?"

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

"Shut up."

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

"Sister, I really won't dare again." Gu Qianghan said hurriedly, but he was secretly 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 technique that even Teacher Xu praised is." Lin Lanyue said coldly: "As for winning or losing?"

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

"It's 2:00, roll back to your martial arts room to practice." Lin Lanyue frowned.

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

Almost at the end of class, inside Martial Arts Room 4011.

【Your spear technique realm has improved from Third Stage 47% to Third Stage 48%】

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

"Improved by another one percent?"

"Ever since I created the spear move 'Dragon Hidden in the Rock Ravine', my spear technique progress speed seems to be faster." Li Yuan thought to himself: "However, wanting 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 power, 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 technique.

Not long after.

Li Yuan walked out of the Elite Building, and 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, who seemed to have been waiting for a while.

"Brother Yuan, heard you are going to compete with Lin Lanyue 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."

"Hmm? How come I heard it's Brother Yuan who took the initiative to challenge Lin Lanyue..."

"I heard that as long as Brother Yuan wins, Lin Lanyue will agree to be friends with Brother Yuan..." A group of people talked at once.

Li Yuan: "..."

"Stop!" Li Yuan shouted suddenly, and the surroundings instantly 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 look at the group messages?"

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

Everyone around was 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 practice later." Li Yuan turned and walked toward the cafeteria.

Everyone looked at each other.

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."

"Hmm, I guess so too."

Weekend, 1:50 PM.

Blue Star Virtual Network, Starry Sky Fighting Network.

Personal Duel Platform, Room Number 8673795.

"Spectator count, 369?" Li Yuan's consciousness avatar held a long spear and stood on the ring, looking at the spectator count displayed on the screen above his head, as well as the dense virtual figures on the spectator stands around him,

Li Yuan's brows furrowed into a 'chuan' shape.

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

"Brother Yuan, do her."

"Senior Class (2), Brother Yuan is the strongest."

"Lin Lanyue, beat Li Yuan to death!"

"Li Yuan's arrogant look is so arrogant, a bit asking for a beating."

"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 speech and behavior were mostly more unbridled than in reality.

Li Yuan didn't know why a normal virtual battle spar would turn into 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 Lanyue stood at the other end of the ring, holding a long sword.

Her virtual image appearance was quite similar to her real appearance.

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