Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

As soon as he logged on, Lin Yue received an invitation from Gu Yutang to duo queue.

In the past few days, Gu Yutang has also reopened Battle.net and successfully reached the Gold III (612 points) rank.

Lin Yue looked at the duo queue invitation that popped up on the screen and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

When a player with a Silver rank 1 and a Gold rank 3 duo queues, the opponents they are matched with are likely to be Gold rank players. This is not a bad thing for him; playing against stronger opponents will allow him to improve faster.

He clicked "Accept".

The scene shifts, and the two appear in the same preparation room.

Gu Yutang's virtual avatar stood opposite him, wearing a light blue martial arts uniform and with her hair tied in a high ponytail, almost exactly like her in real life.

Battle.net's character creation system is very detailed, but she clearly didn't put much effort into it; the face was her own, without any enhancements or modifications.

"You're finally online!" Gu Yutang's voice came through the earphone, with a hint of reproach.

I've been asking Lin Yue to play duo queue on Battle.net for a while now, but he's turned it down with all sorts of excuses.

"I thought you stopped playing Battle.net! I haven't seen you online for days!"

"Now you see it," Lin Yue teased.

"Let's begin."

[Matching succeeded. 】

[Opponent Information - Red Team: Nickname "Azure Wolf", Rank: Gold III, Points: 641, Win Rate: 67%. Blue Team: Nickname "Ghost Orchid", Rank: Silver I, Points: 573, Win Rate: 60%]

"Oh? Looks like I've met my match."

......

[Battle over. Time: 2 minutes 15 seconds. Victory!]

"It's just so-so." Gu Yutang pouted. She had thought that people at the Gold rank would be very strong, but in reality, they seemed to be just so-so.

However, the feeling of playing in duo queue seems pretty good?

Playing ranked matches alone can feel a bit stifling, but it's much better with two people.

The duo queue system is a gameplay feature added by StarCraft Battle.net to simulate more realistic battle scenarios.

In actual combat, one-on-one opportunities are usually rare; it's mostly a multi-on-multi melee.

This duo mode not only tests the teamwork between two players, but also improves their ability to handle chaotic situations.

After Lin Yue and Gu Yutang achieved a winning streak and reached Gold rank, they quit duo queue.

"I didn't expect Gu Yutang to be so strong. She truly deserves to be a formal martial artist."

The duo match with Gu Yutang made Lin Yue realize the gap between himself and a true martial artist, not only in strength and skill, but also in combat experience.

A mechanical voice came to Lin Yue's ears.

Congratulations to the user for successfully advancing to the Gold rank.

[Users who advance to Gold rank for the first time on StarCraft Battle.net can claim a premium course. Would you like to claim it?]

"Premium course?" Lin Yue looked at the four words with some curiosity.

What exactly are the "premium courses" on StarCraft.net?

"Receive it," he whispered.

The course content includes fist techniques, leg techniques, and the use of various weapons.

Lin Yue was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of courses.

Fortunately, each course had a brief introduction, which allowed him to get a general understanding of the courses.

He randomly clicked on a preview of "Advanced Techniques of Bengquan" and saw a middle-aged man in a gray martial arts uniform demonstrating how to generate power in Bengquan.

"These courses all seem to be very mysterious and profound," Lin Yue remarked.

For an ordinary person, these courses might have confused them, but fortunately, Lin Yue had practiced Bird Strike, and his mental strength and concentration were now astonishing.

But he didn't rush to choose. He could only choose one premium course, and it would be a waste to choose the wrong one, so he continued to scroll down.

"Then I'll choose this one," Lin Yue murmured.

He chose a course called "One-on-One Instruction by a Master of Body Movement".

"My flexibility and speed are already quite good for my age group. I wonder how it will be after I learn this movement technique?"

The course description is only one line long: "One-on-one real-time guidance provided by Platinum or higher-ranked martial artists certified by StarCraft Battle.net, with specific corrections for individual movement technique deficiencies. Limited to one session per person, lasting 60 minutes."

"Platinum or higher rank?"

In the StarCraft ranking system, Platinum is above Gold, Diamond is above Platinum, and then there are Grandmaster, Grandmaster and King.

A Platinum-level martial artist is at least a professional martial artist with a Life Energy level of 15.0 or higher.

To get someone like that to provide one-on-one guidance for an hour, you simply couldn't find one outside for less than tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins.

And it's free here; you can claim it once the first time you advance to Gold rank.

"Battle.net is really generous."

Lin Yue didn't hesitate and clicked "Claim".

[Course successfully claimed. "One-on-one guidance from a renowned body movement instructor" has been added to your profile. Please schedule a guidance session.]

[Note: This course can only be used once; it is recommended to use it when you are in peak condition.]

A reservation interface pops up on the screen, showing the schedule for the next week, with one spot available every hour from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Lin Yue checked his schedule. There were still five days until the qualification test. He would practice leg techniques every afternoon and study theory books every evening.

He was only free on the weekend, so he flipped to Saturday, 2 PM, and clicked on it.

[Reservation Successful]

[Instructional session: This Saturday, 14:00-15:00. Please log in to StarCraft Battle.net on time; the system will automatically match you with an instructor.]

Lin Yue closed the reservation interface, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long breath.

Although his bird-like movements have reached the level of mastery, there is still great achievement and perfection beyond mastery.

Platinum-level martial artists have at least mastered movement techniques. Since movement techniques are all based on the same principle, if Niao Shen can learn something from them, his progress will be much faster.

Lin Yue then logged out of the online game, went into the bathroom, and washed his face with cold water.

Water droplets streamed down his cheeks. He looked at himself in the mirror; his hair had grown long, and his bangs were almost covering his eyebrows.

Her cheeks were thinner than they were three months ago, and her cheekbones were more defined, but her eyes were bright, as if something was burning inside them.

On the other side, in the Jiangcheng Advanced Martial Arts Rest Room.

"Father, is the person you're looking for right here?" Tang Jingyue asked.

They went to great lengths to find out about this person who possessed ancient martial arts skills.

"I heard that the people from the Xuantian Martial Hall have already given him a D-level contract." Tang Jingyue told him everything he had learned in the past few days.

"A D-level contract? It seems the people from the Xuantian Martial Hall don't know anything about ancient martial arts." Tang Long stroked his chin.

"It's alright. People with ancient martial arts and body-strengthening techniques won't be interested in a D-level contract."

"Father is right." Tang Jingyue poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

It wasn't because Tang Long particularly liked drinking tea. As the master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, he had too many things to deal with every day, and he always needed tea to perk him up.

"The situation in the Northwest seems to be getting worse."
