Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

Zhou Minghao and Xiong Bing looked up at the same time.

"Is it you?"

Xiong Bing and Zhou Minghao stood up almost simultaneously, reaching out to snatch the spear from Su Yu's hand.

"The newcomers shouldn't try to steal the spotlight; just quietly pick up what's left over from us."

Xiong Bing roared, his voice booming like thunder, causing the students watching the battle to turn their heads slightly.

At 1.95m tall, Xiong Bing was a full head taller than Su Yu, and with his robust physique, he practically shrouded Su Yu completely.

Facing the advancing bear soldiers, Su Yu did not dodge. He remained firmly in place, his hand holding the spear motionless. He neither retreated nor took the initiative to attack, but simply watched the bear soldiers approach.

"Scared out of your wits?"

Just as Xiong Bing was about to grab him, Su Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed. With a slight twist of his wrist, the black iron spear in his hand instantly changed direction, with the spearhead pointing downwards and the spear tail precisely aimed at Xiong Bing's chest. Then, with a burst of strength from his wrist, the spear tail shot out like an arrow.

"Bang."

A tremendous force erupted from the butt of the spear, and Xiong Bing felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been hit by a boulder. His body flew backward uncontrollably.

"What amazing marksmanship!" Zhou Minghao exclaimed.

Fortunately, it wasn't him who went to grab the gun, otherwise, there would be more than just Xiong Bing lying on the ground right now; he would have been added to the list as well.

"But who's afraid of who?" Zhou Minghao twisted his neck.

Zhou Minghao kicked out, heading straight for Su Yu's face.

"Trying to be the boss as soon as you join? Don't you even know your own limitations!"

Su Yu flicked his wrist slightly, raised his spear to block the kick, and then swept the spear horizontally, sending Zhou Minghao flying.

"I'm sorry, I have no intention of being your enemy."

"I came here only to become stronger."

Su Yu stood with his spear held horizontally.

"This newcomer is that strong?"

"Neither Zhou Minghao nor Xiong Bing are his match?" the spectators exclaimed in surprise.

"No wonder he was able to be admitted to the elite class as an exception."

......

"This pose... why does it look so familiar?" Lin Yue seemed to remember something.

"So it was you." Lin Yue's eyes lit up instantly.

He remembered that when he first learned the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist, his first opponent on the Starry Sky Battle Network was Su Yu. The two fought fiercely, and Lin Yue even broke his winning streak.

"Looks like he's gotten stronger again?"

Just as everyone was discussing this, Li Yuan on the podium suddenly burst into laughter, his tone full of satisfaction:

"Hahahaha, great! I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic right from the start. It seems I won't have to waste my breath on this weapons skills class."

He paused, glanced around the room, and said with a smile, "How about we play a game?"

"I'll create a small Starry Sky Battle.net world in a bit. Anyone interested can join the small Battle.net world I create and have a cage battle."

"In the melee, you can earn 1 point for each person you defeat."

"The three survivors will each receive an extra three points in the elite class rankings!"

As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, the classroom erupted in chaos.

"You get one elite point for each person you defeat?"

"The last three people plus elite points? I have to win!" A burly boy stood up, stretched his shoulders, and his knuckles cracked.

This person's name is Guo Chuan, and he is a ruthless individual ranked in the second tier of the elite class.

Relying on a set of "Thunderbolt Fist" techniques learned in the army, he was a master of one move and enjoyed immense success.

The elite class's ranking system is based on elite points, unlike the regular class which ranks students solely based on academic and martial arts performance.

The higher the ranking, the more cultivation resources you will receive.

Normally, it would be extremely difficult to earn even a single point, but this time the top three will receive three points directly!

"A melee in a cage? Interesting!" someone exclaimed, rubbing their hands together excitedly.

"It's been so long since I've been in a fight!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

These students were all at an age full of youthful vigor and high spirits, and they were extremely interested in this violent battle.

"Everyone, grab your weapons and log in to the Starry Sky Battle Network." Li Yuan raised his wrist and tapped the terminal.

"I have created the mini-world and sent the invitation link to your wristbands. Everyone must enter within five minutes; those who miss the timeout will be disqualified."

Lin Yue glanced down at the bracelet.

Sure enough, a message popped up: "Li Yuan invites you to join the 'Cage Melee Elite Training'."

【Whether to accept? 】

He clicked "Accept".

Then the scene shifted, and Lin Yue was standing in a huge metal cage.

The cage was circular, about fifty meters in diameter, surrounded by towering metal fences. Beyond the fences lay a pitch-black void, and overhead was a huge searchlight.

Lin Yue looked around and saw that there were already quite a few people standing in the cage.

Shen Bing stood in the corner, hands in her pockets, expressionless. Zhao Tianyu was flexing his wrists, and Sun Yi was stretching her hamstrings.

Zhou Minghao stood next to the metal pillar, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over the others. Xiong Bing stood opposite him, his 1.95-meter height standing out in the crowd. His arms, like two thick tree trunks, hung at his sides, fists clenched tightly.

Su Yu stood on the edge of the cage, his back against the metal bars, his spear held horizontally in front of him, the tip pointing downwards and pressed against the ground.

Xu Beihai simply stood there casually.

Lin Yue's weapon is a long-handled broadsword, 1.8m long and weighing 40kg. The blade is thick and sharp, and it feels heavy in the hand, carrying a strong sense of oppression.

This kind of knife is extremely lethal, but it requires a great deal of strength to control, which is just right for someone like Lin Yue.

"Since the event requires an extra point for each person eliminated, and an extra three points for the last three survivors, we need to avoid ruthless individuals like Xu Beihai from the start to avoid being eliminated too early."

Lin Yue couldn't gauge Xu Beihai's exact strength, but he was certain Xu was stronger than him; however, he couldn't tell by how much stronger.

"Xu Beihai's strength is unfathomable. He is undoubtedly the top expert in the elite class and is definitely much stronger than me. Meeting him too early will only be a loss."

"In this kind of chaotic battle, the strongest one is not necessarily the one who survives to the end."

"As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. No matter how skilled a master is, he may not be able to win when faced with a fight involving three or more people."

Lin Yue decided to abandon the initiative and start with a defensive approach.

"The students in the elite class are all roughly the same level, except for those in the top tier."

"Taking the initiative to attack often means revealing weaknesses first," Lin Yue analyzed.

"Moreover, revealing our offensive intentions too early could very likely lead to us being surrounded and attacked by others."

Lin Yue was quite confident in a one-on-one match; apart from Xu Beihai, he estimated that no one could be his match.

In addition to his previous experience playing duo queue with Gu Yutang, Lin Yue had some understanding of this kind of chaotic battle.

"My advantage over them is that I am slightly stronger in terms of physical strength and physical fitness, but I am the weakest in terms of weaponry. It would be best to play it safe for now," Lin Yue thought to himself.

Compared to the other students in the elite class, this was Lin Yue's first time handling cold weapons. He was inferior to them in terms of experience and proficiency, and if he acted rashly, he would only suffer the consequences.

"I must get these three points."

Lin Yue's eyes hardened; these three points were crucial to him.

Because his current score is 0 points, he is now a member of the last tier and enjoys the lowest level of resources.

"Once they're exhausted from killing, I'll reduce the sauce over high heat."

Although the resources provided by the Martial Hall are already quite generous, who would complain about having too many resources? Only by obtaining these three points and improving one's own tier can one acquire more resources and gain a greater advantage in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination.

"Alright, let's begin."
