Chapter 178: 0145 Huangshan Martial Arts University (4k)

The swift horse outside the window.

In the blink of an eye, it was already September 20th.

In the Qi-Blood Measurement Room, Lu Chenzhou stood still after practicing his punches.

[Qi Blood Value 5.60...]

"The Qi-Blood has improved a bit. The Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps truly deserve their reputation as First Class Martial Arts. Though a movement technique, the boost to Qi-Blood is quite good."

He looked toward the Martial Arts Tree panel.

[Martial Art]

...

[Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps: Proficient (1%)]

[Arhat Skill: Great Success (68%)]

[Iron Crotch Skill: Mastery (33%)]

[Tiger Spirit Divine Fist: Small Success (23%)]

[Cultivation Technique]

[Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pile: the 18th Acupoint (76%)]

...

"With proficient-level Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps combined with Perfect-level Mountain Crossing Body, this talent competition is set in a mountainous environment like Huangshan, I might be able to perform beyond usual expectations."

After practicing his punches, Lu Chenzhou began packing his luggage. Today, the eight people in the talent class were leaving the province. They were to have dinner and get acquainted with the opponents from the talent class of Huangshan Martial Arts University, with the competition officially starting the next day. Lu Chenzhou was really looking forward to the trip to Huangshan.

Unlike the main campuses of Martial Arts Universities such as Dragon City Martial Arts University that are centered in the cities, the headquarters of top-notch prestigious institutions like Huangshan Martial Arts University and Hua Mountain Martial Arts University are closer to scenic mountains and rivers, similar to the old hidden Sects. Of course, these prestigious schools also have many branches in major cities. In this era, complete isolation would only lead to stagnation.

Around noon, Lu Chenzhou left with his luggage.

"Mom and Dad, there’s something going on at school. I’ll be away for three days."

Li Xianghua was practicing her punches. After a year of practice, she had become proficient. Her Qi-Blood had increased slightly, and her physical fitness was noticeably better than before.

For ordinary people, an increase of 0.1 in Qi-Blood can make a big difference; common minor illnesses disappear, and the mental state can be greatly improved.

Often, the temperament of those who work out regularly contrasts sharply with those who stay at home.

"Go on, be safe."

"Okay, tell Dad for me."

"Mm-hmm."

Lu Chenzhou turned and left. Recently, Lu Guoping had become obsessed with fishing. In addition to practicing martial arts, he bought a whole set of fishing equipment and spent his days competing in fishing with Teacher Wu.

It was a good hobby, as fishing could also train patience and perseverance.

Otherwise, dealing with idleness every day, who could stand it?

The talent competition was also a kind of practical training. According to school regulations, it needed to be kept confidential. Hence, Lu Chenzhou only told his master that he would be away for a few days. Ji Xuantong, naturally understanding the message, advised Lu Chenzhou to be cautious and put safety first.

[Climbing Mount Huangshan makes all other mountains look small! In the All Nations Martial Arts Competition of Huangshan eight years from now, as long as you, my disciple, can secure a ranking position on the Yellow List, it will be enough to be recorded in the history of Dragon City School!]

Ji Xuantong sent Lu Chenzhou this message at the end.

Even for a Top Martial University, only a few can make it to the Yellow List in each Martial Arts Tournament. After all, one has to compete with top talents from all over the world for a spot in the top 100. The fact that the Da Xia 24-school alliance could dominate such a large part of the competition was already impressive.

Ji Xuantong’s mention of making it into the school history was no exaggeration.

...

At noon.

A low-key yet high-end bulletproof black business vehicle took the eight members of the talent class away from the campus to spar wits with the forces of darkness. For long-distance practical training missions, it’s private jets; for mid to short distances, it’s dedicated vehicles. They usually did not take public transport.

In the car, there were three teachers in charge of leading this practical training:

The class teacher, Li Shoukun, Li Gui, and Wu Zun.

One Third Shackles Breaker, and two Second Shackles Breakers.

Such a lineup was extremely luxurious.

Wu Zun said,

"Tomorrow’s competition is not only a test of your individual abilities but also a test of team cooperation. When fighting enemies, we are not fighting alone. The performance in the last Wind Wave Forest training was very good, I hope you all continue to do well."

Li Gui said,

"Although the friendly school is not the enemy, during cold-weapon combat, blades and swords cannot see. While protecting yourself, do not be too harsh. If you are at a disadvantage and risk being eliminated, it’s okay to concede on time. Injuries take a long time to heal, and you cannot afford that setback."

Qingtian Cang glanced at Old Tian and said indifferently,

"Old Tian, introduce the opponents for this competition to everyone."

Old Tian opened his thermos and took a sip of tea, speaking seriously,

"The talent class 3 also has eight players. From the current intelligence, there is one Tenth Rank and seven Ninth Rank, slightly stronger than us. I will introduce them from strongest to weakest. First is Li Kongkong. Like Wang Hongdao, he has been a Tenth Rank for a long time, and he practices Huangshan’s lineage of ’Jade Screen Palm,’ specializing in the use of the strange weapon Leisure Fan. His mother is the Martial Arts Grandmaster of Huangshan Martial Arts University, ’Jade Fan Immortal Ling Susu.’ Li Kongkong’s Qi-Blood value should have broken 7..."

Listening to Old Tian’s introduction, even Wang Hongdao’s expression became serious.

"This person is a formidable opponent; I’ll take him on."

Just from the description, everyone felt an invisible pressure.

Xiao He felt somewhat uncertain and asked,

"Will my Eighth Rank cultivation drag everyone down?"

Leopard Woman, chewing gum, patted his shoulder and said,

"No worries, you can find a place to hide."

Xiao He: "..."

Lu Chenzhou carefully noted the opponents’ Martial Arts.

"Apart from Li Kongkong with Qi-Blood over 7, I am confident in defeating the others... As for Li Kongkong, I’ll only know after we have fought."

A battle intent was burning inside him.

...

At five in the afternoon.

Huangshan Holiday Hotel.

Situated in the beautiful scenic area of Mount Huangshan, in one of the private rooms, the teachers and students of talent class 3 from Huangshan Martial Arts University were also analyzing their opponents.

The class teacher of talent class 3, Wang Ling, also a Third Shackles Breaker and a master of Sword Dao, known as the ’Pine Wind Swordsman,’ scanned the names and said:

"There’s no need to elaborate on Wang Hongdao, he already had a bit of fame when he was at the Dragon City Martial Arts University campus. Li Kongkong, you are responsible for containing him. The rest of the Tenglong Six are not to be underestimated either. But what I want to remind you of are the two Instant Enlightenments, Tian Xingjian has been a Ninth Rank for a while, and it’s possible he has entered Tenth Rank. And that Lu Chenzhou needs special attention. During the recent Jiangnan Region talent competition, he was the champion."
