High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Chapter 106: New Record! The First in History! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
 

In the venue, everyone was staring at the two giant screens, eager to see the final results.

“Li Yuan, truly impressive! You should change your name to ‘Li Qianghan’.” Gu Qianghan stood among the crowd, eyes shining.

“The score isn’t changing.”

“700 points, why has it stopped moving?”

“Could it be a failure?”

“Could he have been killed by the Mountain Guardian of the Star Realm Creatures?” Li Yuan’s score had been stuck at 700 points and hadn’t moved, which immediately sparked speculation among many first-year newcomers.

Even Dongfang Hai and An Nong were a bit worried.

“Don’t worry, trust the big brother to take down a thousand points as if it’s nothing.” Gu Qianghan alone remained utterly confident.

“Really?” Many students from the Sixth Institute expressed their concerns.

“Trust my judgment.” Gu Qianghan grinned, giving off an air of unfathomable depth.

Gu Qianghan muttered to himself, “According to my sister’s words, Li Yuan’s Martial Arts Skills are among the top few dozens globally for his age, and within the first-year students of Kunlun Martial University, he is utterly dominant.”

Why did Gu Qianghan have such faith in Li Yuan? Was it blind trust?

No! It was because of intelligence!

He had learned from Lin Lanyue about the level of Li Yuan’s skills, which should have reached the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level.

However, Gu Qianghan never disclosed this information to other students because he wanted to maintain his own image.

Similarly, dozens of second and third-year students in the venue were also well aware.

“This junior named Li Yuan is indeed formidable.”

“Junior? In our second year, except for Senior Brother Liu and the other two who reached the Fifth Mountain, the rest can’t compare to him.”

“Don’t just talk about second year. As far as I know, even most of the older students from fifth year have been stuck on the Third Mountain for several years.” These second and third-year students were quite shocked.

It was simply too ferocious.

…

Li Yuan, a first-year newcomer who hadn’t even started school.

Based solely on the exposed Martial Arts Skills, he was already in the top tier among third-year students.

In the second year, he was absolutely in the top five.

How exaggerated?

“He hasn’t finished yet, his name is still lit up, indicating he’s still challenging. He must be battling with the Mountain Guardian of the Fourth Mountain.”

“Probably.” These older students were communicating, “I feel like he can totally compare with those creatures from Starry Sky and Starfire.”

“Compare with the creatures from Starfire? Indeed! He can compare with them. Our school has produced a monster this year, haha.”

“Can he win against the Mountain Guardian of the Fourth Mountain?”

“Unlikely.”

“If he wins, wouldn’t that mean he could enter the Fifth Mountain? A first-year newbie who hasn’t officially started school, crossing the Fifth Mountain in the entrance competition? Even Senior Brother Jin didn’t achieve that.”

“Not just Senior Brother Jin, I just looked at the historical records, and in history, only one senior has ever done it.”

“It’s impossible.”

“700 points, already outrageously impressive. Compared to him, we’re practically nothing.” These second and third-year students subconsciously found it inconceivable.

Most people, when living through a significant historical event that will be remembered for millennia, are usually completely unaware of it.

Because of this, most people tend to underestimate the present compared to the past.

Suddenly.

“Buzz~” The numbers on both screens jumped at the same time. Li Yuan’s score leaped from 700 points straight to 1000 points.

First: Li Yuan (1000 points)

Second: Yang Hong (399 points)

Third: Wu Luo (329 points)

Fourth: Han Hongjun (288 points)

…

Eight Institutes’ Entrance Competition (Institutes):

First: Sixth Institute (6767 points)

Second: Third Institute (6563 points)

Third: Seventh Institute (6043 points)

Fourth: Fifth Institute (5956 points)

…

“1000 points!!”

“Holy shit, he really won! Big brother is amazing!” An Nong and Gu Qianghan almost jumped up at the same time, both suddenly swinging their fists.

It was as if they themselves had cleared 1000 points.

Subconsciously, Gu Qianghan couldn’t help stealing a glance at An Nong, sensing a familiar aura about him.

The scent of a rival!

“Brother Qiang.” An Nong touched his head sheepishly and then quickly continued cheering and swinging his fist: “Number one! The Sixth Institute is number one.”

“Big brother is amazing.”

“1000 points! Grabbing the first place.” The whole venue erupted at that moment, whether they were from Jiangbei Province or not, every student from the Sixth Institute was boiling over.

They all felt a sense of glory.

“1000 points?”

“This Li Yuan, did he really score a thousand points? He’s that much stronger than Yang Hong and Wu Luo?”

“Is the system broken or something?” Newcomers from other institutes were somewhat incredulous.

It was just too preposterous.

If Li Yuan had scored five hundred or six hundred points, they might have reluctantly accepted it, but 1000 points?

This indicated that even the very top new recruits could not compare to Li Yuan.

It was a precipitous lead.

“What do you all know, that Wu Luo was completely defeated by our big brother as early as March.”

An Nong immediately took up the role of a commentator and began to shout, “Our big brother, in terms of strength, is one of the very best nationwide. It’s only because he hasn’t awakened his Martial Spirit that he came to Kunlun Martial University.”

“Our big brother’s high school exam, the Martial Arts Score was 900 points! Full score!” Gu Qianghan also shouted.

“900 points?”

“He hasn’t awakened his Martial Spirit? What!” Many students from other provinces in the venue were stunned.

A full score prodigy?

You should know that, on average, each province across the country only sees 1-2 of such Martial Arts prodigies.

Shouldn’t such an individual definitely go to one of the global top three martial arts schools? Yet he chose Kunlun Martial University?

“Truly 1000 points?”

“This is even more ferocious than Senior Brother Jin back in the day. He’s a monster.”

“Where did he pop up from?”

“His score is still rising?”

“His Martial Arts Skills must be at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level, just how old is he? He hasn’t even started school?”

“Such a monster would be very highly ranked even at Starfire University, right?”

“He actually came to our school?”

“Full score in Martial Arts and hasn’t awakened his Martial Spirit?” The dozens of older students, watching the score and listening to the tales of Li Yuan’s past glories told by new students from Jiang City’s Sixth Institute, were utterly unsettled.

They couldn’t help but feel that way.

1000 points, and 700 points, were completely different concepts.

Most of these second and third-year students knew the specific point scores and the requirements of the Kunlun Nine Mountains:

First Mountain: 1-30 points, with the full score requirement around Second Stage Perfection.

Second Mountain: 30-100 points, with the full score requirement around Third Stage High Rank

“`

Third Mountain: 100-300 Points, the full score requirement is approximately at the Initial Rank of the Fourth Level.

Fourth Mountain: 300-1000 Points, the full score requirement is approximately at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level.

Fifth Mountain: 1000-3000 Points

Sixth Mountain: 3000-10000 Points

…

“He’s still breaking through.”

“1200 Points now.”

“He surely won’t make it to the Sixth Mountain,” everyone stared intently at the two colossal light screens in the distance.

Over the years, Kunlun Martial University had students who suddenly burst forth and rose to prominence during their time at university.

But overall, they were far from matching the top talents at the top three martial arts universities.

Today, Li Yuan’s dimension-reducing strike genuinely delivered a shocking blow to the hearts and minds of both new and old students of Kunlun Martial University.

Is this a freshman?

…

Virtual network, Kunlun Nine Mountains, Fifth Mountain.

“The difficulty of the Fifth Mountain has suddenly skyrocketed so much.”

“Just now, I was forced to use the third form of the Stellar Spear Technique, ‘Dawn Piercing the Clouds’, to barely kill the final Wolf King of the Fourth Mountain.”

“Now these opponents, each and every one, could be considered a weakened version of the Wolf King.”

Li Yuan, holding his long spear, was in a very sorry state, his figure shifting like the wind as he dodged the attacks of human-shaped Star Realm Creatures.

These Star Realm Creatures were physically much weaker than Li Yuan, but all possessed martial arts skills at the threshold of the Fourth Level.

Every move was ruthless.

Under the combined assault of more than ten opponents, Li Yuan was utterly suppressed, and it was difficult for him to kill even one.

Suddenly.

“Puchi~” Li Yuan seized an opportunity, his spear like lightning, its tip instantly pierced the throat of one of the Star Realm Creatures.

Blood splattered! Dead!

But in the next moment.

“Whoosh~” A blurred blade light also instantly swept across Li Yuan’s back, the terrifying impact made him stumble, his body involuntarily surged forward, no longer able to maintain perfect balance.

“Clang!” “Boom!” The other Star Realm Creatures instantly seized the chance, unleashing a barrage of ferocious combos.

After barely dodging three strikes.

“Puff~”

A slash of the blade, and Li Yuan’s figure vanished from the Fifth Mountain.

Failed!

“Congratulations, freshman ‘Li Yuan’, for reaching the Fifth Mountain on your first attempt in the Kunlun Nine Mountains, achieving 1300 Points, setting a new historical record in the admission competition, and entering the top hundred of the freshman records for the Kunlun Nine Mountains.” A system voice announced.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan had already returned to his ‘personal exclusive space’ in the Kunlun Space.

“Admission competition historical record?” Li Yuan paused, then clicked twice on the light screen to check.

…Admission Competition Historical Record (Seven Stars Calendar 2009 to present):

First place: Li Yuan, 1300 Points (2043)

Second place: Yan Jing, 1100 Points (2029)

Third place: Jin Huguo, 700 Points (2041)

…

Kunlun Nine Mountains Freshman Record (Seven Stars Calendar 2009 to present)

First place: Yan Jing, 8000 Points (2030)

Second place: Jin Huguo, 8000 Points (2042)

Third…

…

Sixty-seventh place: Li Yuan, 1300 Points (2043)

…

“First in history?” Li Yuan pondered for a moment before he understood the significance of the two leaderboards.

The first leaderboard represented that since 2009, among all students who participated in the admission competition, he was the first in points.

First in history!!

The second leaderboard was not limited to the admission competition, but reflected the overall scores of all freshmen who had ever challenged the Kunlun Nine Mountains.

“Jin Huguo?” Li Yuan murmured to himself, remembering the name from the leaderboard.

Because with a simple calculation of the time.

Li Yuan knew that Jin Huguo was the only one still in school among the top ten in the history of the admission competition records.

Jin Huguo must be a senior who just started his third year.

“He reached 8000 Points in the Kunlun Nine Mountains at the end of his freshman year? That score, it must be the Sixth Mountain,” Li Yuan’s eyes sparkled with a hint of light as he smiled, “Very good.”

“It looks like Kunlun Martial University also has some geniuses.”

“Finally, there’s a bit of a challenge.”

…

Clank~ The virtual network pod opened, and Li Yuan stood up, feeling the outside atmosphere boiling over.

“Senior Brother!”

“Senior Brother!” An Nong and Gu Qianghan stood at the front, exchanged a knowing glance and excitedly shouted out these words.

Following that, dozens of new students from the Sixth Institute in Jiang City started shouting ‘Senior Brother’ with excitement.

Then, new students from other provinces who belonged to the Sixth Institute also joined in.

In a short time, the entire venue resounded with shouts of ‘Senior Brother’.

This scene left the new and old students from other institutes speechless, yet unable to refute.

With such strength, who else could be the Senior Brother?

…

“1300 Points?” Wu Luo, who was in the basement, looked at the score on his smart ring.

After a long silence.

“Damn, is he this freakish! If I had known, I would not have chosen Kunlun Martial University.”

…

“1300 Points?”

“First in history? Damn impressive!”

A hulking young man by the name of Yang Hong, also in his villa, chuckled to himself while looking at the score above, “With such a score, will he participate in the Global University Martial Arts Competition in his freshman year?”

The Global University Martial Arts Competition was a contest among students from martial arts universities around the globe.

But normally, freshmen wouldn’t get the chance to participate.

…

Such important news didn’t require students to inform the teachers.

The relevant teachers had already received notifications from the auxiliary AI the moment it happened.

Heilong Building, a building dedicated to students and teachers of the Sixth Institute.

Ninth floor, inside an office.

“Hmm?” President Li, who was pondering over a cultivation plan, suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate and looked down to check.

“Hmm?”

President Li was taken aback, “1300 Points? Goodness, that’s a big leap from last time, isn’t it?”

“Could it be that this kid is really cheating?”

“`
