Chapter 66

"Top thirty of the Blue Star Youth Ranking?" Li Yuan could not help but nod.

To reach the Meteor rank, one must at least achieve the unity of body and mind.

And once body and mind are unified, the unity of body, mind, and weapon is no longer a bottleneck; it is bound to succeed, it is only a matter of time.

According to the data he obtained from the Starry Sky Fighting Network over the past few days, there are already 164 people on the Blue Star Youth Ranking who have reached the Meteor rank.

"Based on my previous estimates, a perfect score in martial arts techniques for the college entrance exam is most likely at the fourth stage of technique," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Could it be that a few months ago, this Tian Dazhuang was already at the fourth stage of blade technique?"

If that were true, this age is precisely the stage where strength grows rapidly.

A few months have passed, and the other party's strength must be even greater.

Top thirty of the Blue Star Youth Ranking? Li Yuan did not think it was impossible.

"In this world, the thing least in short supply is genius." Li Yuan became increasingly aware of the significance of this sentence.

Just at this moment.

"Sis, don't scold me, I was just careless." Gu Qianghan turned his head to look at Lin Lanyue: "When I'm serious next time, I will definitely..."

"What are you explaining to me for?" Lin Lanyue frowned: "If you lost, then watch the battle properly, look at your opponent, and see where you lost."

Gu Qianghan immediately shut his mouth.

He obediently looked at the duel on the arena.

In reality, it was not that Gu Qianghan lacked talent, nor did he lack cultivation resources.

It was just that he was born in Rome, had an optimistic nature, and coupled with his parents' doting, he had never faced any pressure since childhood... At school, most of his classmates were very happy to be friends with him.

On the arena.

"So weak! It seems, just as Senior Long said, looking across the entire Blue Star, my martial arts technique is the most top-tier among my peers." Tian Dazhuang shook his head slightly: "Then let the slaughter begin."

"Clang!"

"Puff!" "Puff!" The blade technique was fierce! Swift and violent! Every slash was unstoppable.

Dodge? Cannot dodge!

Block? Cannot block!

Not a single person could withstand two slashes from this mountain-cleaving blade.

Blood sprayed!

Tian Dazhuang's score ranking soared directly to first place and continued to rise, leaving second place far behind.

"So strong? Didn't they say physical fitness is the same?"

"Attack him."

"Surround and attack him." The expressions of the other participating students changed, and having discovered this god of slaughter, they surrounded him without hesitation.

They all knew that if they did not deal with Tian Dazhuang, they could not possibly take first place.

Of course, there were also many who subconsciously retreated, wanting to avoid Tian Dazhuang.

"Surround and attack?"

Tian Dazhuang was expressionless as he swung the mountain-cleaving blade in his hand; his movements were ghostly and unpredictable, actually being a large margin faster than all the surrounding participants.

He charged directly out of the encirclement.

Then, he continued the slaughter!

One must know that those who could come to participate in the invitation event were absolutely elite students, all with hopes of getting into the five major universities of the Xia Kingdom.

However, when these elite students faced this inconspicuous youth, Tian Dazhuang.

A single mountain-cleaving blade, cutting from the north of the arena to the south, was simply unstoppable!

On the arena, all the students who had not participated were looking in shock at the figure on the arena.

"So fierce!"

"That one with the blade is too strong; he's simply not on the same level as the others."

"Who is he? I don't recognize him."

Many people could not help but look at the huge score leaderboard above the arena; the screen could be seen from every direction.

"Tian Dazhuang? My great-grandfather's grandfather seems to have been named Dazhuang."

"In this day and age, there are still names like this?"

"I remember now, he is from Shizhou, he got a perfect score in martial arts technique in the January adjustment exam!! He is the only perfect score in Shizhou!!"

"Awesome."

"Holy crap, our city's total score first place, look, he was killed by Tian Dazhuang in three slashes? So satisfying! Last time this idiot mocked me, he got struck by lightning for showing off, didn't he."

"Is this damn guy a high school senior?" The entire spectator stand erupted.

That figure holding the mountain-cleaving blade was unremarkable, less than 1.8 meters tall.

But at this moment, he was the king of the arena.

Tian Dazhuang, a very ordinary, even very retro name.

But everyone remembered it firmly.

Jiangbei Martial Arts University, located in the main teaching building within the war fortress.

In one of the super-large conference rooms, more than fifty people were sitting.

They were vaguely divided into five teams.

These people were teachers from the five major universities of the Xia Kingdom, and also the 'observers' for this invitation event.

Responsible for observing these students.

Right now, all the observers were staring at the 3D projections in front of them, which displayed the scene of the 'cage melee' that the invited students were currently holding.

Each observer could rotate the projection 360° to facilitate observing the battle process from all angles.

"This Tian Dazhuang."

"Fourth stage technique! His blade technique is probably already approaching the mid-level of the fourth stage."

"His movement technique is also fourth stage."

"His technical level is barely enough for SS-grade."

"SS-grade? I think it's still a bit short, but he is indeed good."

"Not to mention Blue Star, just in the Xia Kingdom, according to the data we collected, his martial arts technique can definitely rank in the top five." The observers from the five major universities were exchanging views while taking notes.

"Look at his profile."

"From a poor family, his perseverance must be enough, and he has awakened martial arts spirituality, giving him an S in the end is no problem."

"Look at his strikes, how decisive, calm enough, his actual combat won't be bad."

"As long as his actual combat isn't too bad, no problem."

"At least S-grade." The observers from the five major universities almost all made their own judgments.

They would collect data in advance and organize a list of those expected to reach S-grade, A-grade, and B-grade, from high to low.

Then, based on the list, they would observe each person's martial arts technique, physical fitness, actual combat, and many other aspects during the invitation event.

In the end, any student who meets the A-grade or above criteria will be directly issued a special training invitation.

B-grade? That depends on the number of students.

Of course, the data is mainly based on the January adjustment exam from a few months ago.

After such a long time, there will definitely be changes.

Historically, almost every batch has students who erupt and show strength beyond expectations.

Time passed, and the battle between experts to decide the winner was very fast.

In less than ten minutes, the first battle ended, and only Tian Dazhuang remained on the arena.

He was the undisputed first place.

Dong Haifeng? His score only ranked over 110th, very inconspicuous.

Quickly, the second battle followed.

Wang Yu entered the arena and exploded directly.

She held a blade and shield, wore light armor, had a hot figure, and was even more fierce when fighting.

She also shocked all the students in the audience.

"Too strong."

"Can girls be this strong too?"

"Holy crap, I was secretly looking at her just now, brothers, I'll leave her to you."

"So strong." Many students were surprised by this.

If Tian Dazhuang practiced the way of dominance, with a single mountain-cleaving blade going straight, crushing everything, and unable to be blocked no matter how you changed,

Then Wang Yu's blade was weird and unpredictable, and combined with her shield technique, she was not afraid of being surrounded at all.

"Between her and Tian Dazhuang, who is stronger?"

"Both are very strong, hard to say."

"Also a perfect score in technique, is this what a perfect score is? Damn, fighting us is simply bullying the weak." Many students discussed with each other.

If, during the first battle, Tian Dazhuang's explosion allowed many students to comfort themselves with "it's not that we are weak, it's that he is too fierce,"

Then the appearance of Wang Yu truly made these students understand the meaning of a perfect score in technique.

Most elite students had technique scores of less than 360 points.

Moreover, even experts with technique scores of 360 or 370 were basically killed in seconds when facing Wang Yu.

At least a high-level third-stage technical level was needed to block a few moves.

Fourth-stage technique, the unity of body, mind, and weapon, under the same physical fitness, the excavation and utilization of body potential and muscle/bone strength are far beyond second-stage and third-stage techniques.

"Tian Dazhuang's strength seems to be stronger." Li Yuan made a judgment, staring at the hot-bodied girl on the arena.

"Is that so?" Lin Lanyue was curious: "How did you see that?"

"Movement technique." Li Yuan said affirmatively: "Tian Dazhuang's movement technique is stronger, while Wang Yu's shield technique... is not perfect enough, it should not have reached the fourth stage yet."

Lin Lanyue nodded slightly; Li Yuan's words were similar to the evaluation of her sword technique teacher.

In the third battle, Wu Dongdong and Lin Lanyue were selected at the same time.

This battle.

Wu Dongdong also shone brightly; she actually used a long spear, and the spear was like wind and lightning.

Her movement changes were even more terrifying, and she also swept the entire arena!

Li Yuan was not surprised by Wu Dongdong's performance; what surprised him quite a bit was Lin Lanyue.

"Second?" Li Yuan looked at the final performance on the score leaderboard.

Lin Lanyue actually rushed to second place.

A partial factor was that Wu Dongdong had been intentionally helping Lin Lanyue, so Lin Lanyue had not been surrounded too much.

But on the other hand, it was that Lin Lanyue's sword technique had indeed become more powerful.

"High-level third stage? It should have reached about 80% of the third stage." Li Yuan made a judgment.

Over the past six months, he had made rapid progress.

Although Lin Lanyue's technical progress speed was not top-notch, it was also extremely fast.

...The first three battles ended, rest for one minute.

On the spectator stand.

"Damn, Sis, Dongdong, you two are first and second, how am I supposed to hang out in the neighborhood when I go back?" Gu Qianghan complained: "So much for the three heroes of the neighborhood, I'm the only weakling, right?"

"Gu Qiang, you are also first!" Wu Dongdong teased.

She had just swapped seats with someone else and was sitting next to Lin Lanyue.

"Last place!" Gu Qianghan shook his head: "Simply unlucky, I ran into Dazhuang at the very beginning."

"That's also first." Wu Dongdong laughed.

"Li Yuan, if you also get into the top ten later, I'll really have no face left." Gu Qianghan said pitifully.

"Okay, then I won't get into the top ten, I'll commit suicide at the start to keep you company, how about that?" Li Yuan laughed.

"Forget it, I was joking, you should still try your best." Gu Qianghan became listless, his eyes dull, spreading his limbs to look at the sky: "I'd better think about how to explain it to my dad when I go back, last place... sigh, I'm going to get beaten up again this time."

"The last time I got beaten up... was the last time."

The people around them all laughed happily.

The one-minute rest time ended.

On the arena.

"Fourth battle, begin." The black-clothed man on the arena spoke slowly.

Swish!

Li Yuan disappeared from his seat.

"Li Yuan." A trace of expectation flashed in Lin Lanyue's eyes as she stared at the arena.

"Let me see." Wu Dongdong also looked serious: "Sister Yueyue, you kept saying he was good before."

"After observing for half a day, he seems pretty good, just doesn't talk much."

"Hope his strength isn't too bad."

War fortress, inside the conference room.

"In the first three battles, three S-grade students appeared, and their performances were all good, and eight A-grade students appeared."

"In this fourth battle, there are only two A-grade students."

"No one has an absolute advantage, once the battle starts, it's estimated to be intense for a while." The observers from the five major universities talked and laughed, all very relaxed.

They had watched the first three battles very carefully.

Only the ten observers from Kunlun Martial Arts University noticed that in addition to the two scheduled A-grade students, there was one more.

"Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan has also entered this battle." The teachers from Kunlun University all noticed Li Yuan.

"Hope you don't disappoint people." Teacher Fan Jin thought to himself, staring intently at the arena.

Thirty seconds later.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Li Yuan, holding a long spear and wearing light armor, appeared on the arena at the same time as the other 199 participants.

"Hmm?"

"Not good." Fan Jin's heart skipped a beat: "Next to Li Yuan, how could it be another A-grade student, Wu Luo?"

"This Wu Luo seems to have also entered the top 1000 of the Blue Star Youth Ranking, and entered earlier than Li Yuan."

"Trouble!"
