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

Above and behind the stands, there is a semi-enclosed box area separated from the audience, which is specially prepared for the league's management personnel to watch the game.

At this moment, Guo Hong, the vice leader of the Linghai City Martial Arts Alliance, stood here with his hands behind his back, looking down at the various martial arts matches on the arena.

The alliance officers accompanying him all had smiles on their faces, praising the city's high school seniors for their excellent abilities.

But as the match progressed, Guo Hong's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Thirty battles have already taken place.

Under the rules of a points match, the competition should be based on skill and strategy. The focus should not be on wasting energy to defeat the opponent, but on finding opportunities to hit and gain points.

However, the actual situation on the stage has long since deviated from this direction!

It started in the seventeenth match, when the boy in the dome completely shattered the opponent's defensive system.

One after another, the participants began to abandon restraint and chose a more direct and violent fighting style!

In less than two hours, five contestants had been knocked off the ring!

One of them was even hit on the side of his knee by his opponent's leg technique and had to be carried off on a stretcher, clearly his kneecap was broken!

Although the body's recovery ability after martial arts enhancement far exceeds that of ordinary people, this level of damage means that this person is simply unable to participate in the school's elite class selection in a few days!

"This can't go on. Call all the team leaders from the martial arts schools here."

Guo Hong turned his head and gave a stern instruction to the alliance officer beside him.

"Tell them I have something important to discuss!"

……

Before long, Zhao Jiuhai from the Dome, the leader of the Red Martial Arts School, and the leaders of the other six martial arts schools arrived at the private room.

Guo Hong had already left the stands and returned to the head seat at the round table. He glanced at the faces in front of him and went straight to the point:

"Everyone has seen what happened tonight, right?"

"My original design for this points competition was to ensure that each school could protect the health of its students so that even if they didn't place, they could still participate in the selection process normally."

"But now, your students clearly haven't grasped that."

The leader of Chiwu's team remained expressionless, only slightly lowering his head without speaking.

Zhao Jiuhai coughed lightly, his expression quite calm, and replied with a sentence.

"Vice Alliance Leader Guo, young people are full of vigor and it's inevitable that they might lose control on the stage..."

"I know, isn't the one who started all of this Wei Xiu from your martial arts school? If he hadn't used his ultimate move first, no one else would have had this competitive idea."

Guo Hong waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Jiuhai, but his tone didn't carry much blame.

"I called everyone here to say this not to pin the blame on anyone, but to help everyone minimize the losses."

At this point, Guo Hong scanned every face present again, as if he wanted to discuss something, but it was more like he was giving an order.

"Therefore, the procedures and rules for the upcoming matches will need to be changed!"

……

On the arena, the first round of battles was nearing its end.

The students who appeared were still determined to kill their opponents, and they used their signature martial arts techniques, which opened the eyes of many people and made them realize for the first time that such martial arts existed in the world!

However, Wei Xiu was no longer paying attention to these things at the moment.

He sat in the players' rest area, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly taking a break.

In reality, Wei Xiu was organizing all the moves and tactics of the valuable opponents he had seen that night!

Although I had seen Shen Gui's Hunting Wind Fist before, she was clearly not underestimating me tonight. She used both fist and leg techniques together, and even if I encountered her again, I would not be able to defeat her as I had before.

Xing Ming's Stone-Splitting Leg technique has only been used once, but its power was astonishing. No one knows what other derivative techniques it might have, making it a significant threat.

There was also Huo Quan's Tongbei Quan, and several other unfamiliar martial arts techniques from other unknown competitors...

Just as Wei Xiu was pondering, Lin Qi nudged him with his elbow.

"Old Wei... that person next to you has been staring at you!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiu turned his head and followed Lin Qi's gaze.

Xing Ming!

That prodigy martial artist from No. 2 Middle School, the top figure at Qingfeng Martial Arts School, and the undisputed number one among his peers in Linghai City!

He was sitting in the contestant area diagonally opposite, in a relaxed posture, with one hand supporting his chin and an expression of indifference on his face.

However, his gaze was fixed squarely on himself!

Their eyes met.

Xing Ming did not move.

He merely curled the corners of his mouth slightly and raised his chin; the meaning couldn't be clearer.

If we have the chance, let's have a match!

Wei Xiu met his gaze for two seconds, then casually turned back, lowered his eyelids, and continued to rest.

Come on over!

There are still two rounds to go tonight, I'm afraid you won't make it? Are quasi-martial artists that powerful?

The first round of the round of 80 to 40 was over very quickly.

The venue welcomed a short break, and the athletes replenished their energy in their respective areas, exchanging quiet conversations.

Liu Song returned to the stage and announced the start of the second round of the draw.

"The rules for the second round of drawing lots remain the same: random matching." Liu Song paused for a moment and then added:

"However, a new rule has been added: students from the same martial arts school will avoid facing each other in the same match, and will be paired up in staggered order!"

As he finished speaking, the results of the lottery for forty people appeared on the big screen.

As luck would have it, Wei Xiu's name appeared on the list of names for the previous matches.

But when Wei Xiu saw his matched opponent, his eyebrows immediately twitched.

Huo Quan!

If it weren't for the fact that the martial arts school was using the rules to circumvent them, I would have already fought him to a duel right here!

Not far away, Huo Quan, who had obviously noticed this as well, turned his head toward Wei Xiu.

Several emotions flashed across that face, which always had a sinister look no matter what expression it was.

There was fear, disappointment, and a tiny bit of gritted teeth and resentment...

Soon after, Liu Song's voice rang out.

"Avoid the same martial arts school, the dome-shaped martial arts school, Wei Xiu versus Huo Quan, the order is staggered."

"Wei Xiu, the opponent has been changed to..."

On the big screen, the data next to Wei Xiu's name was updated and replaced with a new name.

The twisted excitement on Huo Quan's face slowly crumbled into an indescribable expression.

Several students from the dome nearby suppressed their laughter, keeping their heads down and remaining silent.

Anyone in the Dome understands this: Huo Quan has been getting overshadowed by Wei Xiu these past few days, and he's been itching to get his hands on him for a long time!

If he had the chance to fight him, Huo Quan might even give up the championship!

"Alright."

Wei Xiu glanced at the information about his new opponent, stood up and stretched his neck, then calmly looked away.

The second round of the elimination tournament, narrowing down the field from 40 to 20, has now begun!
