Gao Wu: From a poor man in the outer city to a martial saint of the ten directions

Lin Qi and Zhou Xiong were both taken aback and turned to look.

Lin Yao appeared in front of the three of them without them noticing.

Her hands were in her pockets, and her gaze was fixed on Wei Xiu.

"Squad Leader Lin?"

Lin Qi was completely taken aback, not understanding why this quiet girl, who usually kept to herself, would want to join in the fun.

Could it be that he was attracted by his own personal charm?

Lin Yao completely ignored Lin Qi's loud voice, and just looked at Wei Xiu, speaking softly but with great certainty.

"My goal is also military academy. So, I think we can team up and keep each other company."

Before Wei Xiu could react, Lin Qi, standing beside him, was completely dumbfounded!

He looked at Wei Xiu as if he were a monster, and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

"Holy crap, Lao Wei, did you get your things blessed at a temple recently?!"

"Yesterday at the martial arts gym, a stunningly beautiful senior named Sun Na invited you to dinner. Today at school, even your class monitor offered to eat with you?!"

Wei Xiu ignored Lin Qi's teasing. He simply looked at Lin Yao, his brows furrowing slightly, and did not immediately agree.

She wasn't love-struck and didn't have as much free time as Lin Qi. Women other than her mother would only affect the speed of her punches.

Although I glimpsed Lin Yao's family's plight on the bus and felt some sympathy for her.

But the team was formed to cope with the brutal 20-person elimination tournament in the special training class.

He knew nothing about Lin Yao's background, and if he rashly brought in someone who was not capable, it would be a huge risk to the entire team.

Just as Wei Xiu hesitated about how to speak...

"I agree to her joining."

Zhou Xiong, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

Wei Xiu and Lin Qi turned their heads at the same time, both with faces full of doubt.

This muscle-brain that only knows how to eat and fight actually agreed to let a girl in?

Zhou Xiong ignored their surprise and stared intently at Lin Yao, a sharp intuition of a martial arts fanatic flashing in his eyes.

"Squad Leader Lin, your blood circulation is very solid."

"His Yuan Power has probably exceeded four hundred, right?"

Lin Yao nodded, making no attempt to hide her feelings.

"Last night, it just broke through 450 points."

hiss! ! !

Lin Qi gasped, his cheeks instantly burning as if he had been slapped twice!

Four hundred and fifty points!

This is definitely a top-five level in the senior class of Linghai No.7 High School!

He's on the same level as that arrogant and domineering Huo Quan!

After all that, it turns out that the captain I just bought with my own money is actually the weakest piece of trash in this four-person team, the only one whose Yuan Power hasn't even broken through 400?!

"Alright, since you're capable enough, class monitor, then welcome to join us!"

Wei Xiu stopped hesitating and simply extended his hand.

Anyway, the teacher didn't say how many people a team could have. My group of four has one person with 470 Yuan Power, another with 450, plus myself.

Even with Lin Qi on board, they are absolutely qualified to compete with others!

Lin Yao also reached out and gently grasped his hand, then let go immediately.

"Haha, great! In that case, I, as the team leader, will be generous and we'll go to Xingzhou Restaurant for seafood at noon!" Lin Qi recovered quickly and clapped his hands and laughed.

The four-person team is now set!

Meanwhile, at the other end of the playground.

A cold, damp wind blew across the edge of the stands, where several students dressed in designer sportswear were gathered together.

Standing right in the middle was none other than Huo Quan!

At this moment, his sinister gaze was fixed on the backs of Wei Xiu and Zhou Xiong as they walked away side by side, his teeth grinding together.

"Brother Quan, what's wrong?"

A follower with dyed yellow hair looked in the direction he was looking and sneered with disdain.

"It's that good-for-nothing Lin Qi again? What did he do to you? After school, we'll ambush him and teach him a lesson!"

"Shut up. You don't know anything!"

Huo Quan turned his head abruptly and shouted a rebuke with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Lin Qi is no threat. But I just saw the four of them chatting and laughing; they're clearly planning to team up!"

Huo Quan took a deep breath, his tone revealing a strong sense of crisis.

"Zhou Xiong's monster-like Yuan Power has long exceeded 470. Lin Yao usually keeps a low profile, but her Yuan Power is said to be about the same as mine!"

"If these two team up to sign up for the special training course, it'll be a huge problem!"

"What's there to be afraid of?" the blond-haired man asked, frowning in confusion.

"There are twenty spots available. With your 450 Yuan Power, Quan-ge, you can easily take one, right?"

"Can I just take it anywhere?"

Huo Quan's gaze once again swept across the crowd, locking onto the tall, upright figure wearing a worn-out student jacket.

Wei Xiu!

His fists clenched tightly inside his sleeves, his nails almost digging into his flesh.

Only he knew that the most terrifying person in this four-person team was neither Zhou Xiong nor Lin Yao.

Instead, it was Wei Xiu, the "Iron Man" who, despite having an average Yuan Power of just over 400, could drag Li Tian's data from back then to a forced settlement within 30 minutes in the Tianwu Simulator!

"What if these four people team up to try and grab a spot..."

Huo Quan gritted his teeth, and a layer of cold sweat had already seeped out from his back!

Add to that the other three equally outstanding geniuses in the school, and once they each form their own powerful teams, the competition for the mere twenty spots in the special training class will become unimaginably fierce!

I've been stuck with 450 points of Yuan Power for two weeks now, and I'm usually a "top student" who can do whatever I want at school...

It seems unlikely that you'll be able to secure a spot in this chaotic arena!

……

As evening fell, the blood-red sunset bathed Linghai No. 7 Middle School in a golden hue.

Just before the school bell rang, a message popped up simultaneously on the school radio station and in each class's Feixin group.

Detailed selection rules for the "Elite Training Program".

The conditions are simple and straightforward, consisting of only three points, but when put together, they seem like an insurmountable chasm standing in the face of every student!

First, applicants must have a Yuanli value of 400 or more!

Second, teams can be formed freely, with a maximum of five people per team. The selection competition will officially begin next Monday!

Third, teams will be drawn by lot to form high-intensity group competitions.

The top twenty in the final overall score will be officially selected!

A cold wind began to blow on the streets outside Linghai City.

The four-person team, who had just stepped out of the school gate, had lost their high spirits from the morning, and the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

"well……"

Lin Qi kicked a pebble away dejectedly, his usually frivolous face now filled with dejection.

"Old Wei, Big Guy, and Squad Leader Lin... how about you three find another strong teammate?"

"I...I'll just quit."

Upon hearing this, all four of them stopped in their tracks.

Wei Xiu turned to look at Lin Qi.

How much are you lacking right now?

"Three hundred and ninety-five..." Lin Qi scratched his head, his face full of bitterness and resentment.
