Chapter 61: Promotion Match

July 18th was the day Li Fei received his implant and successfully absorbed the Grade 2 Superior Steel Armor; today is July 27th, exactly 10 days later.

That the Steel Armor implant began replacing skin tissue in just 10 days was something Hao Yi had not expected at all.

In another 15 days at most, or 10 days at the earliest, Li Fei will be able to officially step into the Body Breaking realm.

This means the time it takes for Li Fei to go from the Embryo Nurturing realm to the Body Breaking realm is at most 25 days, a full 3 days faster than the fastest record at the Wu'an University Martial Arts Department!

Hao Yi even wondered if Li Fei's initial aptitude test had been wrong.

How could this be Grade B-minus aptitude? This is clearly the best of the best in Grade A!

"Does it still need a dozen more days? Then it definitely won't be in time for the monthly exam."

Li Fei, on the contrary, felt a bit regretful.

If he could step into the Body Breaking realm before the monthly exam, his chances of getting a ranking would be even greater.

Hao Yi saw Li Fei's thoughts and said:

"Although all Grade A students have implants, not everyone is an official martial artist. The vast majority of Grade A students are still in the Embryo Nurturing realm. There aren't many Grade A students in the Body Breaking realm who possess truly strong power. If you perform well, you have a chance to enter the top ten in this monthly exam."

Implants in the Embryo Nurturing realm do not bring an increase in combat power; sometimes they even affect a person's combat effectiveness. Only official martial artists who have entered the Body Breaking realm can unleash power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Only seven or eight Grade A students at the Xingcheng Martial Arts Hall have entered the Body Breaking realm. If Li Fei does not encounter these few people early, he has a chance to enter the top ten.

As long as one enters the top ten of the monthly exam, there are rewards, and one can also receive bonus points in the final university admission assessment.

Li Fei nodded: "I understand."

Next, he continued his training as usual. After training ended in the afternoon, Li Fei went to the supply building to purchase another set of Embryo Nurturing medicine, costing 95 yuan.

Then he bought a bottle of Withered Fire Pill, costing 58 yuan.

The money he had just earned from the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold was almost gone in the blink of an eye.

A bottle of Withered Fire Pill contains 10 pills; if Li Fei can break through to the Body Breaking realm within the next 10 days, that will be just enough.

After buying the medicine, he ran home. He ate, then performed Embryo Nurturing training.

At 9: 0 PM, after disguising himself, he appeared at the entrance of the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold on time.

Liu Saner, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately greeted him excitedly upon seeing him and led him into the stronghold.

"The opponent arranged for you today is a strong fighter from the Yellow-tier ring. His record is 5 wins and 1 loss. If he beats you tonight, he should be able to fight in the promotion match next."

Liu Saner introduced to Li Fei.

Then the two entered the corresponding tent, and Li Fei took out 100 yuan, asking Liu Saner to help him place a bet.

Naturally, the money he had on him was more than 100 yuan, but out of caution, he still only bet 100 yuan.

In case of any accident, at least there would still be money to win back his losses.

After the match started, Li Fei decisively activated 'Blood Rage', consuming 2 Blood Souls, and then used his overwhelming strength advantage to force his opponent into retreat, finally knocking him out with a fierce knee strike. The total time taken was less than ten seconds!

His odds for this match were 1: . . Betting 100 yuan, he earned 50 yuan. Including the 8 yuan bonus, his total profit for the night was 58 yuan, comparable to half a month's salary for Li Lei.

"Do you want to rest for a few days?"

After the match ended, Liu Saner asked Li Fei.

A fighter fighting a match seems to only take a few minutes, but the actual consumption is greater than a long-distance run, and there are inevitably injuries on the body, so no one can fight every day.

Glancing at the data of the Myriad Blood Bead, with only 8% energy left until the upgrade, Li Fei said to Liu Saner:

"Continue tomorrow."

The next afternoon, before training had even ended, Li Fei's Myriad Blood Bead successfully upgraded:

【Level: Level 5, 1%

Blood Soul: 30

Blood Soul Skill: Blood Rage】

After the upgrade, the Blood Souls increased by 8, reaching a total of 30, and 3 can be recovered every 24 hours.

An ordinary person has 10 Blood Souls; Li Fei now has three times the health bar thickness of an ordinary person!

Having successfully upgraded the Myriad Blood Bead to Level 5 before the monthly exam, Li Fei was in a great mood. After finishing training, he arrived at the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold again at 9: 0 PM.

As soon as they met, Liu Saner also told him a piece of good news:

"You can fight the promotion match tonight!"

Last night's opponent was originally a strong fighter from the Yellow-tier ring and was very close to a promotion match, but he was easily knocked out by Li Fei within ten seconds. Naturally, the Fist Stronghold believed Li Fei possessed the strength for a promotion match.

"Fighting a promotion match in your third fight, you are the fastest fighter to reach a promotion match at the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold in recent years!"

Liu Saner said to Li Fei excitedly.

He felt that his path to becoming the strongest fighter agent had started the moment he met Li Fei!

"Good, tell me about my opponent tonight."

Li Fei asked calmly.

"Your opponent tonight is called Ghost Shadow Hand. His attack speed is very fast, and he is good at preemptive strikes. His characteristic is using his left hand as a cover to disturb the opponent's line of sight, then launching a sneak attack with his right hand. He currently has a record of 7 wins and 2 losses. Whoever wins between you and him tonight will be promoted to the Profound-tier ring."

Liu Saner introduced to Li Fei.

Taking advantage of the fact that the match had not yet started, he took out a small notebook and told Li Fei the details of Ghost Shadow Hand's past fights one by one.

Li Fei looked at the small notebook in his hand and asked curiously:

"Is everything recorded in this the information of various fighters?"

Liu Saner nodded: "Yes, I go to watch the matches of those well-known fighters every night and record their combat details."

Then he looked at Li Fei seriously: "I don't know why you didn't choose Lady Hua in the end but chose me, but I said I would become the best fighter agent, and I am definitely not joking. I will do everything I can to help you fight your way to the Heaven-tier ring!"

"Good."

Li Fei nodded and took 100 yuan out of his pocket, "Remember to help me place a bet."

At 9: 7 PM, Li Fei walked onto the ring wearing a mask.

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

The audience in the surrounding stands shouted crazily.

Having easily knocked out his opponents for two consecutive nights, Li Fei had already made a name for himself in the Yellow-tier ring, and many spectators in the tent tonight recognized him.

"It seems that you kid, relying on this Green-Faced Ghost, are going to soar into the sky."

Under the ring, Lady Hua came to Liu Saner's side and said.

Liu Saner looked at her: "Lady Hua is also here to watch the match?"

Lady Hua stared at Li Fei on the ring: "I heard he is fighting a promotion match tonight, so I came to see, and I even bet 200 yuan on him to win."

Liu Saner was startled: "Lady Hua has such confidence in him?"

Lady Hua looked at him and suddenly said: "Liu Saner, why don't I give you five thousand yuan to trade him to me."

Five thousand yuan—this is money that an ordinary wage earner cannot earn in ten years, enough to buy two houses in the Qingyuan District!

Liu Saner laughed: "Lady Hua, stop joking."

Lady Hua's eyes were sharp as she looked straight at Liu Saner: "I am not joking!"

Liu Saner was silent for a moment. He, who had always been timid in front of Lady Hua, looked at her with firm eyes for the first time:

"Sorry, I won't trade. Since he chose me, no matter how much you offer, I won't trade!"

Lady Hua looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled sweetly, covering her mouth:

"You aren't stupid after all."

Then the two stopped talking, because the match on the ring had begun.
