“A new student just one month into school? Ever since Starfire and the others were established, have we at Kunlun Martial University ever had such an incredible freshman?” Dozens of teachers couldn’t help but discuss this, among them some at the level of vice-deans.
The strength of Li Yuan, to them, is nothing to speak of.
But to place it on a boy under 18, it seems too exaggerated.
Especially his Physical Quality!
You must know, from 18 to 20 years old, as the body grows, the normal Physical Quality of a Kunlun Martial University student sees an astonishing increase. It’s common to see a rise of 2 or even 3 levels per year before reaching the 15th level.
But Li Yuan? His Physical Quality at under 18 is on par with level 13.
When he reaches 19, 20 years old, how terrifying will his Physical Quality be?
“Stronger than Jin Huguo,” Dean Xu said softly, “President Li, the S-grade contract you signed… indeed, it’s worth it. Good vision.”
“With his rate of physical progress, by his junior year, he will definitely become a Prime Warrior.”
“As for skills… from his fight with that leader of the Rock Desert Tribe, it should be very close to Fourth Level High Rank.” Dean Xu glanced at Li Yang, “Maybe by his junior year, our Kunlun Martial University, might really see the rise of an unrivaled genius that will shake the global college martial arts competition.”
“I am also very much looking forward to that day.”
“He, is considered my honorary disciple.” President Li revealed a smile, a very radiant one.
Regarding the uniqueness displayed by Li Yuan, Li Yang already had plans in mind.
“The base’s ranking is now second.”
“He might even be able to rush to first.”
…
In a train cabin.
“1352 points?” Yang Hong, who had been quite confident before, stared at the score on the screen, stunned
How could this be possible?
Li Yuan had clearly gone to the fourth base!
That place is for the combat assessments of the third-year students.
Supposedly every Star Realm Creature is extremely powerful, how could a freshman get over a thousand points? And directly advance to the second rank in the base?
“Could the scoring device be broken?” Yang Hong started to doubt life itself.
But he knew in his heart that the likelihood of that was almost nil.
“Sigh!” After a long silence, Yang Hong sighed softly.
The last glimmer of hope to compete with Li Yuan extinguished.
…
“1352 points? Oh no, 1382 points now! Damn impressive,” Wu Luo sat in the train seat, marveling at Li Yuan’s score and ranking.
“Big brother, why do I feel like you don’t care at all?” A classmate beside him couldn’t help asking.
“What’s there for me to care about?”
“One must know their own limitations, don’t be an idiot like Yang Hong,” Wu Luo said disdainfully, “Compete with Li Yuan? I never thought about competing with Li Yuan.”
“In practicing Martial Arts Cultivation, indeed you should have goals, but the goals you set should be grounded, and not set up an impossible goal for a lifetime, that would be too damaging to the self-confidence,” he continued.
“My freshman year goal is to defeat Yang Hong, and firmly secure my position as the second person in the grade,” Wu Luo said full of fighting spirit.
…
“Big brother is awesome!”
“Strong!”
“1411 points!!” By the time the train carrying the freshmen was about to arrive at the school, the six train cars occupied by the Sixth Institute’s freshmen had already descended into a frenzy.
“Big brother!”
“Team first.”
“With big brother’s strength, in the future he might become a Flying Heaven Warrior, and a top Martial Artist that will make a name for himself in Xia Country,” these freshmen from the Sixth Institute all sighed admiringly and even started cheering excitedly.
Yes, most of them, during high school, were considered the ‘favorites of heaven,’ excelling in their studies.
Therefore, at first, most of the Sixth Institute freshmen were only obedient in words when it came to Li Yuan becoming the ‘big brother,’ but they did not think much of it in their hearts.
Especially in this Combat Assessment.
At the end of the first day, Li Yuan’s score was only just over fifty points, and many Sixth Institute freshmen felt disheartened, even disappointed in him.
After all, during the Combat Assessment, the first-place institute’s team, each student could get a 100,000 Blue Star Coin reward.
But then, Li Yuan burst forth with astonishing speed, completely surpassing Yang Hong and Wu Luo.
He pulled the team’s total score from third to first.
Then, Li Yuan’s personal points continued to hit new records – 500 points! 800 points! 1200 points!
Until now, surpassing 1400 points.
These continuously soaring scores completely conquered the hearts of the vast majority of Sixth Institute freshmen.
So strong!
People always worship the strong.
Even more, they extremely venerate those who can bring benefits to themselves time and time again.
At this moment, Li Yuan truly managed to establish a certain prestige among the Sixth Institute freshmen.
What is called establishing prestige and a sense of collective honor is most importantly being able to lead everyone from one victory to the next.
“`
It can bring benefits to everyone.
Follow me, and you can win!
“First!”
“Big Brother, you will definitely be the first in the Fourth Base.”
“Seniors in their third or fourth year? Big Brother will surpass them directly.” At this moment, these newcomers from the Sixth Institute no longer needed An Nong’s words to spur them on, they genuinely hoped Li Yuan could create a Kunlun Martial University combat assessment miracle.
…
Time flew by.
The sun rose and set, the end of the combat assessment drew closer.
In the Third and Fourth Bases, many students had encountered danger and dropped out of the combat assessment.
But those ranking at the top were still trying their best to find more Star Realm Creatures to earn more points.
“First place, Gu Zhen, 1988 points.”
“Second place, Li Yuan, 1863 points.”
“He is more than 120 points behind, Li Yuan has been desperately catching up, but it’s hard to close the gap, as the Star Realm Creatures in the assessment area are getting scarce,” discussed many teachers within the Star Realm fortress.
“Only a bit more than one hour left.”
With their strong physical quality, the teachers felt hardly any impact from going several days and nights without sleep.
…
“Those two in front are real freaks.”
“Gu Zhen, with a Physical Quality of 12.9 and Fourth Level skills, is among the top ten in strength among second-year students; he’s been far ahead in scores since the beginning.”
“Who would have thought Li Yuan would be even more monstrous, chasing after him and climbing the ranks.”
“And he’s just a freshman!”
“The gap between their scores and the third place is several hundred points.” Students ranked in the top fifty of the Fourth Base could only look up to the first and second places.
The gap was too large to bridge.
…
In the mountains and forests.
Li Yuan, holding a long spear, was patiently searching and observing, aiming to seize the last scoring opportunity.
“Over 120 points, with only half an hour left, it looks indeed difficult to surpass him.”
“This Gu Zhen truly deserves to be one of the top seniors in the second year, only slightly weaker than those who went to the Fifth Base like ‘Liu Jun.'” Li Yuan glanced at the rankings.
Second place?
Li Yuan could accept that, considering he had only scored a little over fifty points on the first day and had to catch up on the second day.
Suddenly.
“Hm?” Li Yuan suddenly stopped, a trace of inexplicable joy appearing on his lips, “Luck?”
He quickly turned towards a hillside strewn with large rocks.
“Boom~”
“Boom~ Bang~” Li Yuan swung his long spear, swiftly flipping the rocks away.
In no time, a hole more than one meter in diameter appeared before Li Yuan.
“Still not coming out?” Li Yuan’s eyes were icy, as he had already sensed the presence of the other party with his spiritual power.
Suddenly.
“Whoosh!” A massive snake head shot out of the hole like lightning, its huge mouth open wide as it viciously bit at Li Yuan.
“14.2 level? Blood Winged Snake Clan, you’ve been hiding deep enough.” Li Yuan swiftly dodged the deadly strike.
“Swoosh!”
The glint of his spear flashed as he thrust it straight at the serpentine head that was as large as a human head!
The battle erupted!
…
Over a hundred kilometers away from Li Yuan, in a different part of the mountains and forests, ten minutes later.
“Less than twenty minutes left.”
“Being ranked first at the base should be secure.” Gu Zhen, the hulking young man, showed a slight smile, “This Li Yuan is really formidable, catching up in just one day.”
“If he had started strong from the first day, I might not have been able to beat him.” Gu Zhen felt a flicker of relief in his heart.
The difference in rewards between first and second place at the base was 1 million Blue Star Coins.
For him, that was no small amount.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Gu Zhen felt his location ring vibrate and couldn’t help but look down, only to widen his eyes and stand up abruptly, almost shouting in disbelief, “How is this possible!! Is this cheating?”
On his smart ring display, the overall ranking for the Fourth Base was clearly shown:
First: Li Yuan (2065 points)
Second: Gu Zhen (1989 points)
