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

Although Huo Quan had some disagreements with the two in the past, he usually made a few sneaky moves.

This is the first time I've ever been here in front of the martial arts school's top management like this.

Lin Qi frowned, and immediately prepared to say something.

However, Wei Xiu then took out his phone, glanced at the time on the screen, reached out to stop Lin Qi, and said indifferently:

"It's 8:50 now, and there are still ten minutes until the scheduled assembly time of 9:00."

"We're not late, you're just too early."

"You..." Huo Quan was speechless for a moment, a shadow flashing in his eyes.

"Alright, everyone's here, so let's keep quiet!"

The headmaster, Zhao Jiuhai, interrupted Huo Quan in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over the six students who had advanced to the next round with an authoritative look.

"Tonight's elimination round is extremely important, as it concerns our Dome Martial Arts Academy's ranking and resource allocation in the Linghai City martial arts community!" Zhao Jiuhai's tone was extremely serious.

"The Martial Arts Alliance has a rule that this joint elimination tournament is an internal high-level event and will never be open to the public."

"Now, everyone, hand over your phones and all electronic devices to Xiaoling. They will be locked up at the martial arts gym for safekeeping. They will be returned to you after the competition!"

Although everyone was somewhat surprised, they also knew that such cross-martial arts competitions often involved covert power struggles between major forces and were kept under extremely high secrecy.

They didn't dare to delay and lined up to hand over their phones.

After doing all this, Zhao Jiuhai waved his hand dismissively.

"Everyone on board! Let's go!"

The six contestants were divided into different minivans.

Wei Xiu, Lin Qi, and two other trainees who advanced were arranged to sit in a spacious Alphard minivan with Li Bulong and Xiao Ling.

The vehicle smoothly entered the bustling streets of the inner city and headed towards the city center.

The atmosphere in the carriage was originally a bit dull, but Lin Qi was a guy who couldn't sit still.

His eyes darted around, and he leaned closer to the back of Li Bulong's seat in the front row, lowering his voice as his gossip-loving soul burned brightly.

"Instructor Li, can I ask you something?"

"I heard that Huo Quan insisted on going into the martial arts library last night to choose another martial art. Did the martial arts school agree in the end? What special move did he choose?"

Upon hearing this, the other two students in the car, who had been sitting upright, immediately perked up their ears and turned their heads curiously.

Huo Quan was already one of the best on the first floor. If he were to acquire a high-grade martial art, the threat would be enormous!

Only Wei Xiu, sitting in the corner, had his arms crossed and his eyes slightly closed, as if he were already asleep, showing no interest in the question.

Upon hearing Lin Qi's question, Li Bulong glanced at everyone through the rearview mirror and smiled faintly.

"According to the rules of the martial arts school, an individual's choice of martial arts is confidential. What he chose is none of your business."

Just as everyone was feeling somewhat disappointed, Li Bulong suddenly changed the subject, his tone carrying a rare hint of surprise.

"However... Huo Quan's talent has truly impressed me!"

"The martial art he chose is extremely difficult to master, but he has already grasped some of its secrets this afternoon."

"There's a high probability you'll see him use this new martial art in the ring tonight!"

"hiss!!!"

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp filled the carriage!

Lin Qi and the other two students looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock!

I was just choosing a martial art from the martial arts library, and I'll be able to grasp the basics this afternoon?

So, we're going to use it for real combat tonight?!

This terrifying talent of being able to learn and apply knowledge immediately—it feels exactly like Wei Xiu's performance last night!

Could it be that Huo Quan has also been hiding his true abilities?!

Everyone was filled with shock and uncertainty, but Wei Xiu, who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and resting, was making his own plans.

"Talent? Heh."

Wei Xiu remained completely unmoved.

Others might not know, but he dared to do this because he had a system protecting him.

If Huo Quan were to force himself to quickly master a profound martial art, his foundation would inevitably become weak.

Compared to Huo Quan, Wei Xiu was more concerned about his progress in Yuan Power at this moment.

"I sparred with Zhou Xiong for so long this afternoon. Although I still couldn't completely break through his Western boxing defense and defeat him, my Yuan Power steadily increased to 446 points."

"We're now just 4 points away from 450!"

"Tonight's elimination round is city-wide. If I can find a tough opponent and have a high-level real match, I can definitely break through the 450 mark!"

Instructor Li promised that as long as one's Yuan Power reaches 450, one can experience the expensive Tianwu Simulator for free!

"I hope my opponents from other martial arts schools won't disappoint me too much..."

In the darkness, a subtle smile curved the corners of Wei Xiu's lips.

……

Half an hour later, the convoy slowly came to a stop in front of a huge building in the center of Linghai City.

United Stadium.

Although Zhao Jiuhai had said that the competition would never be made public, everyone was still taken aback by the scene before them when they got out of the car.

Because the long street outside the stadium was already packed with media vehicles, reporters carrying long lenses and microphones, and various online self-media anchors holding selfie sticks!

Various flashes of light were flashing wildly in the night, making it as bright as day!

In an era of flourishing martial arts, even unannounced events would attract a swarm of media outlets with keen instincts, like sharks smelling blood, all trying to dig up inside information!

"Ignore them, everyone put on your martial arts uniform hoods and come inside with me!"

Zhao Jiuhai took the lead, and with several martial arts school guards clearing the way, he led the group quickly through the noisy crowd and into the stadium via the VIP passage.

As soon as you enter, a deafening sound wave hits you like a tsunami!

This is a giant indoor stadium that can hold up to 10,000 people!

Although tickets are not sold to the general public, at this moment, the trapezoidal stands on both sides are packed with no less than a thousand people!

The lights in the center of the venue were extremely dazzling, and a giant alloy arena, twice the size of the one in the dome-shaped martial arts hall, had been erected high above.

"Good heavens..."

Lin Qi pulled down his hood, looked at the crowd in the stands dressed in various martial arts uniforms, and clicked his tongue.

"Could it be that all the top ten martial arts school apprentices in Linghai City have gathered tonight?!"

Wei Xiu slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the boiling crowd and locking onto the huge arena.

Because at this moment, there are already seven teams of students in different outfits standing on the arena!

Aside from Chi Wu's ten people, the other six groups were also men and women of various shapes and sizes, but they all had one thing in common: they all crossed their arms and looked extremely arrogant.

It can be said that all the martial arts geniuses from all the high schools in Linghai City have gathered on this arena!

Facing these geniuses, Wei Xiu's eyes seemed to burn with flames!
