High-Level Martial Era

"Is that Wu Luo? Not good." Lin Lanyue's expression on the spectator platform changed slightly, as she also sensed something was off.

"What's wrong, Sister Yue Yue?" Wu Dongdong asked.

"Next to Li Yuan, that's Wu Luo from Hanshui Province. He scored 394 in the Prime Warrior martial arts skills test in January." Lin Lanyue said sternly.

"394?" Wu Dongdong said indifferently, "Didn't you say Li Yuan scored 389? The two should be about the same."

"I'm afraid of an accident." Lin Lanyue frowned.

She knew how important this invitation event was to Li Yuan and understood that the five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins were very important to him.

"Sister Yue Yue, does he know Wu Luo's strength?" Wu Dongdong asked in return.

Lin Lanyue nodded: "He knows, I've told him."

"Then that settles it." Wu Dongdong said seriously for a change, "Sister, I have to criticize you. I know you want to help Li Yuan."

"But he has to be worth helping."

"With the intelligence advantage, he's fully capable of seizing the initiative. If he still can't win?" Wu Dongdong said carelessly, "Then that's his own problem."

Lin Lanyue was still frowning, lost in thought.

"Sister Yue Yue." Wu Dongdong waved his hand in front of Lin Lanyue's eyes.

Lin Lanyue looked at him.

"You need to look at it from a different angle," Wu Dongdong said, "Difficulties can sometimes be opportunities."

Lin Lanyue suddenly felt puzzled.

"Facing Wu Luo is indeed a big threat," Wu Dongdong said, "But if he can beat Wu Luo, wouldn't the observers from the five famous schools rate him higher? Wouldn't the possibility of receiving a special training invitation be higher?"

Lin Lanyue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Dongdong, I haven't thought it through as well as you."

"Hmm, then it's up to Li Yuan himself." Lin Lanyue's gaze landed on Li Yuan, who was on the stage.

"Concern leads to chaos." Wu Dongdong said playfully, "Sister Yue Yue, I've helped you. You owe me a treat when we get back; I want the dishes made by Chef Liu."

"Okay, whatever you want to eat is fine," Lin Lanyue said with a smile, "I'll have Chef Liu prepare it when the time comes."

"Sister Yue Yue." Wu Dongdong pointed to the stage, "It's starting!"

…

"Wu Luo."

"On this stage, there should be few who can match Wu Luo."

"Perhaps, he could make it to first place in this round." Some students from Hanshui Province also had high hopes for Wu Luo.

…Cage brawl, the fourth round.

"Begin."

The man in black stood in the sky, his deep voice echoing throughout the battle space.

The 200 people on the stage were immediately freed from their restraints, and the battle erupted in an instant.

Having seen the previous three cage brawls, the participants in the fourth round understood that to survive longer,

First, they must defeat nearby opponents as quickly as possible.

Next, they must appear fierce enough to make others think twice before provoking them.

If they flee from the outset? They would be seen as easy targets by everyone, becoming the focus of group attacks.

"Boom!" "Clang!"

"Bang~" Shadows moved with astonishing speed, and the sounds of weapons, such as swords, spears, cudgels, and hammers, continued to reverberate with their collisions.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!" Both to his left and right, two opponents launched attacks at Li Yuan simultaneously.

"Wu Luo? Scored 394 in the January Prime Warrior test? Hanshui Province's top scorer in the January Prime Warrior test?" Li Yuan had recognized the opponent on his right.

As for the other person? Unfamiliar!

In fact, at Li Yuan's level, through immediate observation of burst speed and stepping techniques, he could roughly judge a person's skill level.

With the same physical quality, the higher the skill, the more power extracted from the body, resulting in stronger speed and force.

Especially once reaching the Fourth Level of skill, it was not an exaggeration to say that the same body could fight against ten or even a hundred with ease.

"First, take down the weaker one, then I'll test this Wu Luo. He has a certain chance of reaching the Fourth Level." This was Li Yuan's subconscious decision.

"Huh!"

As Wu Luo and the others moved, Li Yuan's muscles and bones resonated, his feet shifted slightly, and his momentum instantly changed, giving off the feeling of an unshakable boulder.

The next moment.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Li Yuan's legs powered up, propelling him forward like a cannonball, charging toward the opponent on the right with terrifying speed, even faster than Wu Luo, who had moved first.

"So fast?" Wu Luo's face changed immediately, "Fourth Level skill? Who is he?"

Wu Luo's skill had already reached the Third Stage of Perfection. To be quicker than him?

Not just Wu Luo.

On the spectator platform, many students from Jiang City were actually paying attention to Li Yuan.

In the conference room of the War Fortress, observers from Kunlun Martial Arts University, and many others, also noticed Li Yuan's sudden burst of speed.

In a flash.

His burst speed was much faster than the others.

"Huh?" The student who tried to attack Li Yuan saw his sudden burst and panicked, instinctively swinging his combat saber at the black figure charging towards him.

In the world of martial arts beginners, saber-wielders were the most numerous.

"Scram!"

Li Yuan just glanced at him, raising his long spear instantly, executing the 'Stability of Heaven and Earth' technique, his body's power unified, especially the spearhead, which exploded like a boulder.

He fiercely swept towards the opponent.

"Clang!"

The long spear, like a suddenly rising dragon, was unstoppable, directly sending the incoming combat saber flying. Then the spear's head charged straight through, carrying an incredibly shocking force, directly piercing the opponent's neck.

"Pu-chi~"

The saber-wielding participant was instantly blown away, his neck tearing open a horrifying wound, and blood sprayed out.

His body turned into nothingness in mid-air.

One spear, life extinguished!

Armored for protection?

With Li Yuan's spear technique, facing a Second Stage with his Fourth Level ability, he paid no heed to the opponent's armor, destined to strike at the vital points with every thrust.

This scene even shocked Wu Luo, and suddenly, he saw Li Yuan turn back and glance at him with a cold gaze.

"Run!" Wu Luo's complexion drastically changed, and he turned to flee, "This is definitely a Fourth Level master."

"Run?" After powerfully killing one man, Li Yuan's spirit soared, and without mercy, he charged towards Wu Luo.

"Just now, it seemed like you wanted to kill me."

Boom! Boom! As one chased and the other fled, they quickly covered nearly twenty meters towards the center of the stage.

How big was the stage anyway?

"Huh!" A participant noticed Li Yuan whisking by and instinctively slashed at him with his knife.

In the ranks of beginner martial artists, those who practiced the knife were the majority.

"Scram!"

Li Yuan only spared him a glance. He instantly raised his long spear, executing 'Stability of Heaven and Earth.' The force throughout his body unified, particularly at the spearhead, which felt like a massive boulder erupting.

He violently swept towards his opponent.

If he were facing a high-ranking expert of the same level, Li Yuan's direct use of this move would easily give his opponent a chance to kill him.

However, Li Yuan's strength was much too superior compared to the majority of participants at the Second Stage, High Rank, and Third Stage, Initial Rank.

They were simply not on the same level.

The saber was yet to arrive when the spear had already struck!

"Bang~"

The 30-kilogram metal spear shaft smashed down onto the hastily raised shield of the opponent, sending him flying backward with a loud crash, his arms breaking and fracturing.

"I..." the participant spat blood from his mouth, about to speak when a shadow of the spear already swept by.

It directly skimmed his neck, and his body dissolved into nothingness.

"Pfft!"

With the long spear whistling, Li Yuan stepped forward after killing the participant, thrusting forward gracefully and piercing the chest of another participant who was frantically trying to flee.

In just one encounter, he had killed two people.

"Holy shit, retreat!"

"Him! Is he on the same level as Tian Dazhuang and Wu Dongdong? Full score in martial arts skills?"

"Three already, and now another one?"

"Are there so many achieving full scores in martial arts skills this year?" The surrounding participants were all stunned, their faces changing, retreating like the tide.

After the first three chaotic cage battles, almost everyone had understood that in theory, over a hundred people could sacrifice dozens of lives to kill someone with full martial arts skills.

But unity was key.

No one was willing to truly fight to the death for someone else's gain, which meant that those with full skills were destined to slaughter all around them.

Moreover, the domineering and strong performance displayed by Li Yuan was itself enough to intimidate others.

"Go for second place."

"Just avoid him." This was what most participating students were thinking.

...On the spectator platform.

"Holy shit!"

"This one named Li Yuan?"

"Li Yuan! He's first in the field now!"

"Li Yuan? Never heard of him before."

"As of today, you have."

"Another one with full martial arts skills?" Elite students from all over Jiangbei Province had noticed the spear-wielding figure, and were shocked by it.

While others were still entangled in fights, Li Yuan had already killed three people, no, he had just killed another one.

He had killed four, displaying ferocity beyond belief.

"Yue Yue!"

Initially indifferent, Wu Dongdong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is Li Yuan also a Fourth Level expert? Good! Good! Good! You were just pretending to worry me, looking all concerned."

"Holy shit!"

Gǔ Qiánghàn, who had been sprawling lifelessly on the chair, suddenly jumped up, shouting excitedly: "Awesome! Li Yuan is awesome!"

"That's my brother, Li Yuan," Gǔ Qiánghàn waved his fists, instantly attracting the attention of many students around him.

"My brother, Gu Qiang!" Gǔ Qiánghàn yelled excitedly, as if he were the one dominating the ring.

While roaring,

Gǔ Qiánghàn turned back and shouted, "Sis, I was wondering why you changed your attitude towards Li Yuan, turns out you knew he had reached the Fourth Level."

"Me?" Lin Lanyue was just as confused, wanting to explain but finding no way to do so.

Moreover, she was extremely shocked.

"Fourth Level?" Lin Lanyue was staring at the figure in the arena.

Li Yuan had caught up to Wu Luo, his spear attacks pushing Wu Luo back step by step.

"When did Li Yuan break through to the Fourth Level?" Lin Lanyue wondered, "Does Teacher Xu not know either? Why did he ask me to help Li Yuan?"

"What assistance does he need with this strength?"

Lin Lanyue understood the difficulty of breaking through from the Third to the Fourth Level in martial arts skills.

"That's good!"

"Fourth Level skills." Lin Lanyue suddenly smiled, "Li Yuan's name is definitely on the special training list; it's just a matter of which school is willing to offer an A-level special training contract."

She was unaware of Li Yuan's talent for spiritual power.

"Li Yuan?" His schoolmates were also in shock, speechless.

"Li Yuan? This!" Dong Haifeng's eyes widened as he watched, and his petty thoughts instantly extinguished.

Compete?

It's like throwing one's life away!

...In the War Fortress, in the meeting room.

"That student?"

"Fourth Level!"

"It's definitely Fourth Level skills! Named Li Yuan? Why isn't his information on my pre-invitation list?" The dozens of observers who were previously relaxed were now shocked.

"Not even a B-level?"

"He's just seventeen and a half?"

"Not awakened to Martial Spirit, so not included on the list?"

"Idiots! The recruitment office's intelligence collectors are a bunch of useless metal scrap! Just based on Fourth Level skills, who cares about not awakening to Martial Spirit? He should at least be A-level." The observers started to frantically take notes in their panic.

Fourth Level skills, after all!

Whether a student of such skill level could emerge was a matter of luck.

Sometimes, a province might not have even one.

Sometimes, like Jiangbei Province, four or five might appear this year.

Globally, normally at this age range, only about two hundred appear each year.

"Fourth Level?"

"It's much stronger than the information provided by President Zhao?" Fan Jin's heart skipped a beat, both excited and a bit anxious.

Because if Li Yuan's martial arts skills were only at the Third Stage of Perfection, then the other five prestigious schools might not be interested.

Fourth Level skills?

Even if he hasn't awakened to Martial Spirit, he was destined to be fought over, with at least each willing to offer a special training invitation.

"Old Fan." A voice echoed in Fan Jin's mind.

"President Li," Fan Jin looked toward the bald, stout man not far away who hadn't said a word.

"When the meeting ends, come with me to invite Li Yuan immediately, taking advantage of the fact that the other schools don't know about his spiritual power, directly offer him an S-level special training contract." The voice continued, "And promise him."

"It doesn't matter if he hasn't awakened to Martial Spirit. Our Kunlun Martial Arts University will do everything in our power to help him become a Prime Warrior and create his own Cultivation Technique."
