"Human Martial Arts Elite War?" Li Yuan's eyes sparkled slightly.
He had heard of this match, which was very hot on the virtual network.
There are many rumors
Mostly just text messages, and it's rare to find specific combat videos online, as if all the videos are being controlled and not allowed to be spread.
"Only students in their fourth and fifth year can participate?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, that's not the case." Director Li smiled and said: "In fact, both of these two major competitions restrict age with September 1st as the node, similar to the Blue Star Youth List."
For example, in the next Global High School Martial Arts Competition, only those born after September 1st, 2022 are eligible to participate.
"The next Human Martial Arts Elite War must be participated by people born after September 1, 2020." Principal Lei smiled and said: "Over the decades, it has become a tradition for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to participate in the global competition."
"Seniors and fifth-year students participate in the Human Martial Arts Elite War as usual."
Li Yuan was astonished.
This is consistent with the current college entrance examination system, and the age of admission is cut off on September 1st, neither ahead of schedule nor behind schedule are allowed, and it is implemented very strictly.
Kao Culture University can be re-read.
But for Waseda University's Faculty of Sports Sciences? You must be at least 17 years old and under 18 years old.
"In fact, even if you didn't get into Busou University, as long as your age is suitable, you can still participate."
"But over the decades, there have been too few martial arts geniuses who rose to prominence without being nurtured by a martial arts university. It has gradually become a competition among various martial arts universities." said Principal Li with a smile.
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Master in folk? In most cases, it will only be a fantasy of some people.
The strongest talent, combined with the best teachers and the best cultivation resources, can give birth to the strongest genius.
"Normally, the martial arts elite champion is obtained by students in their fifth year of high school. The longer they cultivate, the more advantageous they are." Principal Li said, "However, there have been some extraordinary geniuses in history who participated in the competition ahead of time and won the championship."
"Really?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
"Not bad." Principal Lei smiled and said, "This competition has been held for over 60 years, and our school has had a genius who won the championship in his junior year."
"Who?"
"Fang Hai." Dean Lei smiled and said: "You may not have heard of this person, but his reputation is very great among high-ranking martial artists. At the age of 16, he had already reached the fifth rank in his skills."
"Sixteen years old? Fifth-degree skill?" Li Yuan's eyes widened in shock.
Is it so perverted?
"It's a pity that he didn't achieve much later on." Principal Lei shook his head and said, "He only became a Flying Heaven Warrior."
Li Yuan was shocked, didn't Cheng Fei Tian Wu Zhe call himself a mediocre achiever?
"You don't understand."
"He was taken as a personal disciple by Dongfang Xi at the age of 17, with high expectations that he would surpass the Flying Heaven level and even rival Dongfang Xi himself." Principal Li sighed: "Unfortunately, he encountered a bottleneck and is still stuck at the Flying Heaven level."
Li Yuan sighed inwardly, people are envious of others and it's suffocating.
"So, don't be proud."
"Your martial arts talent is indeed one of the best in the last thirty years of Kunlun Wu University's history." Dean Lei said, "But placed in the two-hundred-year history of Kunlun Wu University, it doesn't even reach the top hundred."
"What's wrong?" Li Yuan was taken aback.
So low?
"In the earliest days, there were no three top martial arts schools. The most talented geniuses in our country all stayed within the country." Principal Li said: "Understand?"
Li Yuan understood.
Just like oneself, pure marksmanship skills, placed among this summer's national students is indeed the top, but there are still a batch that can compare with oneself.
In the past, these top geniuses all entered one of the five most prestigious universities.
But in recent decades, almost every one of the strongest geniuses has gone to one of the three top martial arts schools.
Most of those who enter Wudang are secondary school students.
Therefore, being in Kunlun Wu's natural state is like a crane standing out among chickens.
"Don't mind the temporary gains or losses, being fast in the early stages doesn't mean you'll become a top-notch expert, it's often the ones who accumulate knowledge quietly that will make a breakthrough."
"I still have high hopes for you becoming a Flying Heavenly Warrior." Dean Lei smiled and said: "Li Yuan, your current main goals are two."
Li Yuan listened.
This is an order from your superior.
"First, strive to cross the fifth mountain of Kunlun Jiuzi before next February." Principal Li said: "As long as you cross it, I will allow you to participate in the virtual battle of the Global High School Martial Arts Competition next February."
"Being able to break through the fifth mountain represents that your skills have reached the fourth stage of high-level."
"After crossing the sixth mountain, it means your skills have reached a perfect fourth dan."
"Being able to cross the seventh mountain means your skills have reached the fifth level." Dean Lei said solemnly, "In theory, fourth-level skills are enough to participate in virtual battles, but if you're not strong enough, going would only bring shame."
"So, generally, only sophomores are allowed to participate in battles." Principal Li said: "As long as you reach it, I'll let you go on a trip during your freshman year to broaden your horizons."
"Past the Fifth Mountain? Four high-level stages?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, and didn't think it was too difficult.
It is worth noting that Li Yuan set a goal for himself to reach the fourth stage of the high-level gate by September.
Only in this way can we get a reward of 200 million blue star coins.
"The second goal is more important, this October's Ten Schools Newcomer War." Principal Lei said: "Your goal is to be first, at least break into the top four."
"Ten Schools Newcomer War?" Li Yuan was puzzled: "Which ten schools? Does it include the five prestigious schools of Xia Country, including ours?"
"Right."
"There are also five other famous martial arts schools in Asia, like Sakura and Tenjiku... The Inter-school Tournament will be held in our country this year."
"Every year, the top ten martial arts schools' freshmen will engage in a battle, with rich rewards." Principal Lei revealed a smile: "The top sixteen, will be rewarded 20 million Blue Star Coins."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up.
Too many.
"Money is just one aspect."
"The Seven Star Alliance will prepare a heavenly treasure for each of the top four in this new war, and that's the most important thing." Dean Lei looked at Li Yuan: "These treasures mostly come from some mysterious star realms, and their value cannot be measured by money."
"If taken away and sold, it would be easy to sell for several billion Blue Star coins."
"Each treasure is specially prepared for your personal situation." Dean Lei said: "Understand?"
"I understand." Li Yuan held his breath.
Heavenly material and earthly treasure? Anything that can be described by these words is no ordinary thing.
The last thing he came into contact with was the 'Stardust Crystal' promised by Yang Shengdian.
It's just asking for something extremely unrealistic, and I don't see any hope in the short term.
On the contrary, October's 'Ten Schools Newcomer War' is closer and more relaxing for me.
"Don't be careless."
Principal Li reminded: "Just like our school has you, Xia Guo's other four famous schools also have some geniuses."
"Another five top universities in Asia also produce talents every year... In short, competing for the top four is quite challenging."
"Alright, I'll try my best." Li Yuan nodded heavily.
A fighting spirit also ignited in his heart.
This decade-long new student war seems to be not only about personal rewards but also involves national honor.
Although the Seven-Star Alliance was founded for over a hundred years, the threat of alien civilizations is extremely great, and the wars between countries on Blue Star have ceased.
But the competition in peacetime, the struggle for national honor, has never stopped.
……
Li Yuan and Principal Li exchanged views, and he also gained a deeper understanding of Kunlun Wuda's training system.
"Are you going to teach me yourself?" Li Yuan was surprised.
"What's wrong, am I not qualified?" Dean Lei said with a hint of a smile.
"No, it's not." Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's just a bit surprising, I thought I would follow some teacher."
Li Yuan had learned about it from school introductions.
School curriculum is divided into four categories: general education courses, technical skills courses, cultivation courses and practical combat courses.
Each type of teacher is different.
The most important thing is the technical class, followed by the practical combat class.
"Normally, first-year students will choose to follow a teacher to practice, for example, practicing spearplay, they would follow a spearplay teacher."
"Those who practice knife skills follow the Knife Skills Master." Principal Lei explained.
"There are over 300 teachers of Guqin in schools."
A teacher may have as few as twenty or thirty students, or as many as nearly a hundred.
"The technical teacher is at least a 26th-level Yuanwu warrior, and all the techniques are perfectly 'entering the subtlety' in four segments. Teaching students of two or three segments is very easy." Principal Li smiled.
Li Yuan held his breath.
So, there are at least over 300 source warriors above level 25 in the entire Kunlun Wu Academy?
The strength of this teacher is indeed terrifying.
"When a student's martial arts skills reach the fourth level, an ordinary teacher can no longer guide them." Principal Li said: "It must be taught by the vice president."
"Like our college, there are nearly 1,100 students now."
"Counting you, there are 52 students with a skill level of 4th dan or above."
"The weapon I cultivate happens to be a gun, and it's just right for teaching you." Dean Lei smiled and said: "For the next period of time, come under my guidance to learn."
"Good." Li Yuan was overjoyed.
Li Yuan had communicated with Wan Qinghe before.
High school teacher and university professor are two completely different concepts.
University instructors are more like masters of ancient times.
So, without hesitation, Li Yuan stood up and respectfully bowed: "Li Yuan, greetings teacher."
Teacher, compared to the title of Dean, it's much more intimate.
"No need, and it's not like we're in ancient times with a master-disciple relationship." Dean Lei stood up and stretched out his hand to help Li Yuan up.
But Li Yuan acted faster and insisted on finishing the big gift.
From head to toe, without a shred of hesitation.
"Why bother, in modern society, don't be constrained by these things." Dean Lei said with a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face.
Etiquette may seem like superficial work, but it represents a kind of respect.
If you can't even get the superficial work done, how can you talk about actual results?
……
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Heilong Building, 7th floor, inside a huge martial arts room, there were already eighteen students wearing martial arts uniforms waiting.
These students, mostly practiced their own long-handled weapons, mainly spears.
The teacher has arrived.
"I'm here."
"It seems like someone else is following." Over a dozen students sat down promptly.
He turned his head to look at Li Yang who was walking into the martial arts room, as well as Li Yuan who followed behind him.
"Sit here." Li Yang pointed to one of the empty seats.
Li Yuan sat down obediently, and he felt the gaze of a group of people around him.
A thought in his mind activated the Divine Palace probe, and he probed four people in a row, all of whom were martial artists, including one Yuan Wu Zhe.
"Let me introduce myself."
"This new student, Li Yuan, is a freshman from our sixth institute and the senior brother of all freshmen. From today on, he will also be your classmate and junior brother." Principal Lei said slowly: "Don't underestimate him, in terms of physical quality, he has already reached the next level."
"In terms of skill level, he is already at the fourth stage, and can be ranked in the middle." Dean Lei's eyes swept over his students.
"Seventeen and already on stage? That's amazing!"
"Is it Li Yuan?"
"I heard that yesterday's entrance exam competition was like Li Yuan unleashing his divine power, our sixth institute took first place and even broke the historical record of the entrance exam competition."
"Isn't that even more powerful than King Ghidorah?"
"This term in our sixth institute, will we rise to the challenge?" These seniors were whispering to each other, and those who didn't know soon found out about Li Yuan's big news from yesterday.
They cast over him glances of kindness and even admiration.
Li Yuan also hastily nodded in response, being very polite.
He was clear in his mind that among the eighteen seniors in front of him, most were fourth and fifth-year students. After graduation, they would have to undergo a few more years of physical training, and their future as martial artists was almost certain.
There are several people who are better than me in terms of martial arts skills.
"Alright, everyone look over here and listen to the lesson."
"Today, I'm going to talk about 'Stellar Gun Technique', listen carefully." Dean Lei deliberately glanced at Li Yuan.
