Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 111 The changes in the Five Schools Martial Arts Competition, subtle and perfect.

Outside the martial arts square

"Junior Li!"

Zhang Ziyu ran over and stood in front of Li Xijun, saying:

"Junior, I just watched your match, it was absolutely amazing."

"Your swordsmanship has reached the level of subtlety, making you one of the top students in your freshman and sophomore years."

The senior student came up and said some very polite things.

Li Xijun wasn't impatient and just responded with a few words before the other party got straight to the point.

"Senior, my name is Zhang Ziyu. I asked Zhang Hao to call you a friend before, because I was thinking of chatting with you about student council matters."

"Watching my juniors compete today has further solidified this idea for me."

"I wonder if you're free tonight, junior? How about we grab dinner and chat?"

After she finished speaking, the short-haired senior looked straight at the other person.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Xijun replied with a light laugh, "No problem, I happen to be free tonight."

"That's great! I'll have Zhang Hao arrange a place tonight, and I guarantee you'll be able to taste some of the school's unique mythical creature ingredients."

After confirming this with Li Xijun, Zhang Ziyu immediately relaxed and took out her phone.

"Let's add each other as friends first, and contact each other when we have time."

After the two exchanged some information and added each other as friends, the senior student took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

But at some point, no one knew.

Principal Lisa appeared to the side and spoke up:

"The student council is a pretty good organization; I might consider joining."

"The school offers many preferential treatments to its student council members. You, as a senior, are quite discerning to invite me to join so decisively."

The words that suddenly appeared in his ear made his heart skip a beat.

"Teacher Lisa, it would be terrifying for a martial artist at the Great Vajra Realm to appear like this."

Li Xijun spoke with a hint of helplessness.

The fact that such a martial arts expert, far surpassing him in skill, appeared so silently was truly terrifying.

"The competition just ended, shouldn't you still be on stage giving a speech or something?"

"The entire first-year student body is basically lying in the treatment pods at the medical facility, what else is there for me to say?"

Lisa couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she talked about it:

"Although no one can die in the arena where the Wood Saint left the mark of the [Law of Wood], it is still a scene that I haven't seen for many years, where you created a carnage and sent the other three to the medical pods."

"Since I've already chosen to become a martial artist, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

Li Xijun, on the other hand, felt no psychological burden whatsoever.

Anyway, no one will actually die. Seeing a battle between human martial artists will be good for them in the future.

"Yes, you're right. However, this year's five-school joint competition has undergone some changes."

"Um?"

Li Xijun's curiosity was piqued by the other party.

"Firstly, judging from the virtual pods you enrolled in this year, this technology is already quite mature. Under the 'Ten Years to Cultivate Talents' training program, the Nine Schools Alliance has also begun to configure and use it, and the results have been very good."

"Secondly, such large-scale competitions every year cause considerable damage to the Wood Saint's Law Imprint."

"Thirdly, the top four spots in this five-school martial arts league have been dominated by Qingquan Chunhui Hall and Weiming Linlang Pavilion for too many years."

"To accommodate the enthusiasm of the other three schools, and also to introduce variables and increase the dynamism of the competition,"

"This year's competition will be held in a virtual world, just like the entrance exams were before."

Lisa naturally led the other person to her attic and continued:

"In other words, in this year's five-school joint competition, everyone will use the same physical strength in the virtual world to engage in a competition where the outcome is determined purely by martial arts skills."

"Only testing martial arts skills?"

Although Li Xijun was somewhat surprised by the change, he didn't react much afterwards.

In fact, his greatest talent has always been not in cultivation, but in martial arts.

This competition only tests this skill, so he wasn't worried much, as his knife and sword skills were both at the "Subtle" level.

"Well, in previous practical competitions, Qiushi Lianzhenyuan, Zhendan Guanghua Palace, and Qinglan Yunxianfu have all produced some geniuses with good skills, but they have never made it into the top four because their life level is a bit low."

"This time, we're giving them some hope and motivation, and also taking the opportunity to improve the martial arts skills of our school's students."

The two arrived at the door of the attic. Li Xijun checked her fingerprint and went to open the door for the other person.

"Of course, you don't need to pay too much attention to the students of the Nine Schools Alliance."

"The real team we need to pay attention to in this competition is our old rival, the top freshman from Weiming Linlang Pavilion."

"This year's graduating class produced a genius whose martial arts skills were already exceptional upon entering the university."

"Several months have passed, and by the time the seeded players' competition begins, we don't know what level they will reach."

Lisa skillfully led Li Xijun into the martial arts hall, tossing a nearby alloy longsword to the young man before her.

"Therefore, until the round of 16 of seeded players begins, I will provide you with individual training to improve your martial arts skills to the best of my ability."

"After the round of 16, I hope you can continue to make it to the finals so that I can continue to train you individually."

Lisa also drew a long sword and issued a warning:

"If we can win first place in the five-school joint competition, in addition to the 10 points awarded for being ranked first, there will be other benefits as well."

"hope Jun, you need far more resources than ordinary people to reach the Transcendent Realm. You absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the long sword in her hand, with the force to sweep away a thousand troops, slashed towards the opponent's neck.

"Bang!"

Li Xijun raised his sword to counterattack, but it was as if he had struck an extremely hard metal. An irresistible force surged from the opponent's long sword and crashed straight into his blade and body.

"snort"

Caught off guard, Li Xijun let out a muffled groan, clearly injured by the force.

"I only used 7000 kilograms of force just now."

Lisa, her expression icy, slashed at Li Xijun's chest with her sword in hand. She was ruthless and merciless in battle, showing no mercy as she attacked.

"But the force I unleash is stronger than yours, and I can better mobilize and concentrate the power of every minute part of my body, merging it into one."

"The true secret lies in the second half of 【Ten Thousand Blades Return to the Flow】!"

"To unleash the strongest single strike from the convergence of ten thousand blades,"

"The most important prerequisite is to first gather all of your countless 'tributaries' into that river that flows into the sea!"

"Only when you master this level will you reach the pinnacle of the [Subtle] realm."

Li Xijun held his sword in defense, feeling the force transmitted through his opponent's strikes.

Knowing this, it should be the direction to take to improve the master level proficiency of [Ten Thousand Blades Return to Flow].

but

"This way of making progress seems to suit me perfectly!"

After feeling the opponent's strength,

Li Xijun, who was trying once again to mobilize more subtle "tributaries" within his body by relying on the power of his mind, seemed to be deep in thought.

Advancing to this level requires a state of perfect harmony between man and sword, and a mind that resonates with its inner self.

Countless tiny tributaries are mobilized one by one until all the tributaries flow into the river and the sea.

This process of bringing countless tiny tributaries back to their source certainly requires a lot of time and practice.

During practice, you might be able to do it on one side but not on the other; those on the left might go into the sea, while those on the right might change course.

The human body contains countless subtle "tributaries," and to perfectly control and return each one to its proper flow is essential.

This constant correction and revision process must take an immense amount of time and effort.

But unfortunately, Li Xijun's progress has become stagnant.

Once a small tributary flows into the main river, it will not run away again.

As long as we proceed one step at a time, we will steadily progress and eventually converge, with all the tributaries flowing into the sea!

Realizing this, Li Xijun worked even harder in her practice sessions with Teacher Lisa, constantly improving the number of "tributaries" she could control.

At the same time, the force he exerted when he swung his longsword began to offset the increasing force of his opponent.

This practice continued until nightfall.

Finally, a message popped up in Li Xijun's field of vision:

[Your "Ten Thousand Blades Return to the Flow" skill level has increased from Master 33% to Master 34%.]

This allowed him, who was exhausted and had suffered many internal injuries, to finally breathe a long sigh of relief and relax considerably.

Often, it's not that people don't try,

Instead, we often encounter situations where we work hard all day but still don't see any positive feedback about progress.

This will cause them to lose a lot of motivation and enthusiasm, making it difficult for them to persevere.

Once a person can clearly see the results and progress of their efforts,

This will give them ample motivation and enthusiasm to continue the work on the second day.

Just like today, Li Xijun is constantly drawing back the subtle tributaries within his body,

He had worked hard all day, and now, seeing the prompt on the panel...

A sense of satisfaction naturally arose, and the previous tedious time and practice suddenly felt meaningful.

"Ms. Lisa, I'll come again tomorrow morning."

Feeling quite satisfied, Li Xijun put away her long sword, washed herself in the bathroom next door, and then said goodbye.

"Yes, your progress is indeed very fast. You should keep it up."

Lisa, who was used to this, gave him her usual instructions as he left.

Having reached the Great Vajra realm, she observed very clearly that the opponent's subtle improvements were incredibly stable.

"His talent is truly unreasonable."

"It also perfectly complements the extremely difficult sword technique, 【Ten Thousand Blades Return to Flow】."

This gave her even more confidence that she could help Li Xijun reach the pinnacle of the "Entering the Microscopic" realm before the finals.

A moment later,

Following the location information sent by Zhang Ziyu, Li Xijun arrived at the West Second Canteen.

Of course, although it's called a canteen, the canteens in this top university are more impressive than those in luxury restaurants.

Because it was quite far from his villa, Li Xijun had never actually come here to order food before.

After asking the staff at the door, I took the elevator to a private room on the top floor.

Thank you to "Guangdong Buyer" for the two 5000 Qidian coins.
