High-Level Martial Era -
Chapter 109: 104: The Xuanwu that Surpasses Flying Heaven (20,000 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)
"Cover you for five years?" Li Yuan listened to Gu Qianghan's words and couldn't help but want to say something.
But when he thought about the other person's family background and personality, he closed his mouth.
Just like Gu Qianghan had said, he really could live off his parents.
Moreover, Li Yuan had long discovered that Gu Qianghan, despite appearing nonchalant, actually had a very high IQ. Combined with his family background, such a person often believes they've 'seen through everything.'
If he doesn't wake up completely on his own, it would be useless no matter what others say.
Besides.
"Being friends with Gu Qiang, being roommates, both are quite good," Li Yuan thought silently.
"Brothers and sisters." Gu Qianghan laughed loudly, "Aren't you going to call Li Yuan 'Big Brother'?"
"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother." A dozen flying machines above, with dozens of freshmen from Jiang City, shouted out.
Their voices echoed across the campus.
It startled Li Yuan and also drew the attention of many passing students.
Big Brother? Such a title was a rarity throughout the entire school.
"Is this 'Big Brother' title something you guys came up with?" Li Yuan couldn't help asking.
"Wrong!"
"Li Yuan," Gu Qianghan said with a grin, "This isn't self-proclaimed, it's publicly recognized. We all recognize you as the 'Big Brother' of the freshmen in the Sixth Institute. Ask around, who would disagree?"
"Agreed!" Dong Haifeng said with a smile.
"Li Yuan, you should be our Sixth Institute's 'Big Brother' of the new students," An Nong and the other freshmen shouted.
The students who could get into Kunlun Martial University were all exceptional, often the prominent figures in their own high schools.
Admitting another freshman as 'Big Brother'? No one was truly convinced.
So what if he's a bit stronger?
Being stronger now doesn't mean he'll stay that way forever.
But Li Yuan was different!!
This group of students from Jiang City had all witnessed Li Yuan's capabilities firsthand during the Jiangbei Martial University's recruitment event.
Moreover, at that time, Li Yuan's Physical Quality was only around Level 9, and now that he'd reached Entry Rank, he was bound to be even more formidable.
Most importantly, Li Yuan had broadcast a show that these students had watched and roughly understood the terrifying speed of Li Yuan's rise.
Various factors and the huge gap had earned their immense respect for Li Yuan.
Joining the Sixth Institute didn't mean they really expected to ride on Li Yuan's coattails, but they did generally want the warmth of the group.
"Big Brother?" Li Yuan shook his head and didn't argue further.
In fact, speaking of strength, Li Yuan was among the top of his age globally, but due to Martial Spirit reasons, he had come to Kunlun Martial University... Li Yuan couldn't help but feel stifled inside.
Deep down, he too wanted to prove himself!
Li Yuan had ambition.
Unable to get into Starfire University, Starry Sky University? Then he would work hard at Kunlun Martial University, striving to surpass the martial arts geniuses of the three top martial schools.
He would strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, or even stronger.
He wanted to prove through action that one doesn't need to attend Starfire University or Starry Sky University to become the strongest.
"First among the new students at Kunlun Martial University?" Li Yuan shook his head slightly.
From the beginning to the end, Li Yuan's goal was never just that.
His sight was set further in the future.
"Haifeng, how are the total points rankings for the competition between the eight institutes determined?" Li Yuan asked.
"It's based on the points from the Kunlun Nine Mountains," said Dong Haifeng. "Each institute has about 250 new students, each of whom can attempt the Kunlun Nine Mountains."
"They will take the best scores of the top 200, and the combined points of these 200 people will be the total score for an institute's entry competition."
"Rankings are divided into individual rankings and total institute score rankings," Dong Haifeng explained quickly. "Right now, our Sixth Institute is ranked fourth, with over 5700 points in total."
"So you're saying that on average, each person doesn't even have 30 points?" Li Yuan felt a twinge of toothache.
The score was too low.
Before coming to school, Li Yuan had seen all kinds of study arrangements, competitive settings, and reward systems of Kunlun Martial University on the 'Kunlun Space' of the virtual network.
He had some understanding of the Kunlun Nine Mountains, a kind of 'virtual contest' set up by the university specifically to test Martial Arts Skills, divided into nine levels.
The Kunlun Nine Mountains, it was somewhat similar to the advancement matches of the Starry Skies Fighting Network, but not exactly the same.
"Right, the score is quite low."
Dong Haifeng touched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "Because most of the new students' Martial Arts Skills are actually less than Third Stage."
Li Yuan mused to himself.
Third Stage skills score 360 in the martial arts portion of the college entrance exam, which is actually very hard to achieve.
Fourth Level skills? That's one of the three major thresholds for a Prime Warrior.
As far as Li Yuan knew, although a large number of Prime Warriors would emerge from Kunlun Martial University in the future,
most people would not become Prime Warriors before graduating.
Those who did become Prime Warriors mostly continued their cultivation after graduation, struggled through life and death in the Star Realm, and ultimately broke through their bottlenecks.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few Prime Warriors within human civilization.
Take Li Yuan for example.
Achieving Fourth Level skills during his high school phase? Globally, that placed him at the very pinnacle among his peers.
Otherwise, would Li Yuan have received such attention from Starfire Martial Hall?
"Li Yuan."
"Oh no, Big Brother." Gu Qianghan immediately changed his address, visibly excited: "Our Sixth Institute, we're actually only a hundred or two hundred points behind the second and third places."
"Only the Third Institute is more than six or seven hundred points ahead of us," Gu Qianghan said seriously. "You just need to be worth thirty people, get 800 points, and we're sure to win."
"Eight hundred points?"
"Gu Qiang, you didn't say that before, didn't you say we'd aim for second place?"
"Eight hundred points, huh?" Others were amazed, they were full of confidence in Li Yuan, thinking that getting four or five hundred points wouldn't be difficult.
But eight hundred points?
That was a bit of an exaggeration! Because they had all challenged the Kunlun Nine Mountains and knew the difficulties of the nine levels.
"Eight hundred points, huh?" Li Yuan smiled, "Then I'll give it a try, but let's make it clear first, even if I don't succeed, don't blame me."
```
"Haha, good."
"Even Wu Luo could score over three hundred points. Big brother will definitely be stronger. Back then, Wu Luo was totally defeated by big brother's hand."
"Wu Luo's Martial Arts Skills have stepped into the Fourth Level. Otherwise, many at the Third Stage would be stuck at the Third Mountain."
"And there's Yang Hong, who nearly scored four hundred points."
"With big brother's strength, surpassing those two shouldn't be difficult," everyone said one after another, discussing.
They were all filled with expectations for Li Yuan.
Soon, they passed through a vast villa area.
More than a dozen flying vehicles had already arrived in front of an extremely large building.
In front of the building.
Lay a colossal creature resembling a sea turtle, tens of meters tall and over two hundred meters in length, its statue looming.
The statue was made of stone.
Only its shell on the back appeared so real that it even gave off an inexplicable aura of horror, as if a powerful Xuanwu was genuinely lying there, closing its eyes to rest.
"Is this the Xuanwu statue?" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart. He had seen it in school introductions.
"Yes!"
"Legend has it, a long time ago, there was a Star Realm creature Xuanwu that exceeded the Sky-Flying Level on Feixing," Gu Qianghan said excitedly. "It was Dongfang Ji, the first strongest human, who hunted it down alone. A world-shattering battle erupted between them on Feixing, devastating heaven and earth."
"In the end, Dongfang Ji killed it."
"Its remains were turned into a gift by Dongfang Ji and given to his alma mater, 'Kunlun Martial Arts University.'
"That shell in front of us."
"It's the remains of a lifeform that surpassed the Sky-Flying Level."
"After thorough research by Kunlun Martial University, the shell was made into this statue to serve as a warning, prompting all students to maintain a sense of awe," Gu Qianghan said confidently. "This building was therefore renamed Xuanwu Tower in memory."
"You're quite mediocre in ability but quite knowledgeable," Li Yuan joked.
"Damn! Here we go again," Gu Qianghan complained. "It's not that I'm too weak, it's that you're too abnormal."
"Let's get off."
The flying vehicles slowly landed in the square, and dozens of people jumped out.
"Eight institutes, each with its own specialized area."
"And there are comprehensive buildings."
"Xuanwu Tower is a comprehensive building, divided into east and west wings," Gu Qianghan explained. "The east wing is the main area for first-year freshmen. Important activities for freshmen from all eight institutes are held here."
Li Yuan listened, knowing some things while still unaware of others.
Clearly, Gu Qianghan had arrived several days earlier and was quite familiar with many things.
"Let's go into the east wing," Gu Qianghan said.
A crowd surrounded Li Yuan as they entered the east wing of Xuanwu Tower.
The building was only twelve stories high, but it covered an enormous area.
Upon entering, there was a vast open-air plaza, easily capable of accommodating two to three thousand people. At the moment, there were six to seven hundred people gathered in the plaza.
As Li Yuan and his group of dozens entered with great momentum, they immediately attracted the attention of the many first-year freshmen on the plaza.
"They are from the Sixth Institute."
"That one is Gu Qianghan."
"From the Sixth Institute," someone recognized them.
In just a few days, Gu Qianghan gained a certain level of fame among the freshmen for his excellent 'organizational abilities.'
"Could it be that they still want to compete in the entrance competition for the institutes?"
"The deadline is almost here; their strongest members should have participated already."
"What are they doing here?" Many students showed puzzled looks on their faces.
The entrance competition for the institutes was already nearing its end.
"Li Yuan!"
"Li Yuan is here? He's from the Sixth Institute?"
"Damn!"
"So why did they all from Jiang City join the Sixth Institute? Didn't Li Yuan go to Starfire University?"
"He actually came?" Among the several hundred people, many were from Jiangbei Province and quickly recognized the conspicuous figure with the large backpack.
"Li Yuan?"
"Who is Li Yuan?" Students from other provinces showed expressions of confusion. "Never heard of him. He wasn't mentioned in the top ten admission scores this year."
"Forget about it; go notify Wu Luo..."
"And Yang Hong. It's possible our Third Institute might lose the top spot," some students from Jiangbei Province started to panic.
They had witnessed Li Yuan's prowess.
On this side.
"Rankings?" Li Yuan looked up and already saw two giant light screens on each side of the plaza displaying two sets of rankings.
Kunlun Nine Mountains Individual Ranking (First Year):
First place: Yang Hong (399 points)
Second place: Wu Luo (329 points)
Third place: Han Hongjun (288 points)
...
Institute Entrance Competition (Institute):
First place: Third Institute (6563 points)
Second place: Seventh Institute (6043 points)
Third place: Fifth Institute (5956 points)
Fourth place: Sixth Institute (5789 points)
...
"Big brother, let's start," An Nong whispered. "The sooner we secure it, the sooner we can relax."
"Okay," Li Yuan nodded and walked directly toward the virtual network pods in the distance.
