Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

"So how do we determine the number of students for this Nanyang Secret Realm?" Li Yuan asked with a frown, his tone somewhat serious.

The Nanyang Secret Realm is a cultivation treasure land under the key control of the Alliance. Each opening is accompanied by both opportunities and deadly dangers. The selection of places cannot be taken lightly. The slightest carelessness will not only waste the precious secret realm qualification, but may also plunge the student into an abyss of no return.

A confident smile appeared on Cai Yue's lips as he tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his gaze sweeping over the vice principals present.

"After all, the secret realm of Southeast Asia is extremely dangerous, and not just any student can participate."

Just last week, when I learned that the Nanyang Secret Realm was about to open,

Cai Yue immediately contacted Guo Jingyao, and the two discussed the selection plan repeatedly for two whole nights before finalizing it.

They all knew that apart from the students in the elite class, most of the children in the regular classes were not strong enough. Let alone obtaining opportunities in the secret realm, even protecting themselves would be a problem.

Students without sufficient strength who rashly venture into the secret realm of Southeast Asia will not only gain no benefits, but are also highly likely to encounter dangers such as attacks by star beasts and traps in the secret realm. At best, they will be injured, and at worst, they will die. This is something they absolutely do not want to see.

"Teacher Guo, why don't you tell us?"

Cai Yue turned to look at Guo Jingyao beside him and handed the floor to him.

Guo Jingyao stood up, his gaze calm and serious, and slowly said, "The Nanyang Secret Realm is known for its bizarre and mysterious nature, and is full of dangers. It not only contains powerful monsters, but also unpredictable illusions and deadly traps."

"Therefore, this weekend we will organize a simulated mission test for the 'Secret Realm of Southeast Asia.' Only students who pass the test will be eligible to enter the secret realm."

"This task test consists of three core parts, none of which can be omitted," Guo Jingyao paused, and continued.

"It mainly consists of theoretical tests, practical tests, and psychological tests."

"The theoretical test mainly examines students' theoretical knowledge, including basic common sense about the secret realm, the weaknesses of monsters, and methods for identifying and breaking traps."

"There are also emergency response techniques, in case they are at a loss when faced with unexpected situations in the secret realm and don't know how to solve them," Guo Jingyao explained in detail.

"The practical test examines the students' real combat ability, simulating the chaotic battle scene in the secret realm, and testing their adaptability and combat skills."

"As for the psychological test, it is to screen out students who have weak mental qualities and are easily influenced by the illusion. After all, in the secret realm, a strong mind is more important than strength."

After listening to Guo Jingyao's detailed explanation, the vice principals nodded in agreement, one of them even exclaiming in praise:

"Principal Cai is brilliant, and Teacher Guo has considered everything thoroughly. This way, we can select truly capable students while also ensuring their safety to the greatest extent possible." The others echoed this sentiment, and no one raised any objections.

Meanwhile, inside the school's chaotic prison, the atmosphere had reached a fever pitch.

Su Yu held a silver spear, the tip still stained with faint blood. He had just successfully dealt with the two senior students, Xiong Bing and Zhao Tianyu, with a set of sharp spear techniques. He was now slightly out of breath, his eyes scanning the others around him warily.

From the stands, Xu Beihai squinted at Su Yu inside the cage and muttered to himself:

"It seems this freshman named Su Yu is quite strong; he was able to easily deal with Xiong Bing and Zhao Tianyu. That's interesting."

"It's time to make a move." Xu Beihai stretched his body slightly, his bones making a series of soft "crackling" sounds, and a powerful aura quietly spread out.

Unlike the other students in the cage who were armed, Xu Beihai was not carrying any weapons and his hands were empty.

This is precisely the purpose of his cultivation—to fight like a wild beast in the mountains and forests, relying not on any external force, but only on his own body and instincts, and to temper his physical body to the extreme.

"Oh no, it's Xu Beihai!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Run!"

The group of people who had been surrounding Su Yu, hoping to reap the benefits, were instantly terrified upon hearing Xu Beihai's name. They lost all their previous arrogance and scattered in all directions, wanting only to get away from this scourge as quickly as possible.

"Trying to run? Do you think you can escape!"

Xu Beihai gave a low, cold snort, his voice tinged with disdain. He flashed away, his speed leaving only a blur, and chased after the enemy like an arrow released from a bow.

He leaped up, his movements as agile as an eagle swooping down on a beast, and grabbed one of the students by the neck with such force that the student couldn't even scream.

"Sizzle~"

Xu Beihai eliminates Wu Jun, points +1

"Too weak!" Xu Beihai casually threw Wu Jun on the ground, his tone full of disappointment.

"While I was away from school, did you really train properly? With this level of skill, you dare to participate in the selection?"

Before he finished speaking, he grabbed another student who was the slowest running and slammed him against the wall of the cell.

With a muffled thud, the student instantly lost consciousness.

Xu Beihai eliminates Shen Bing, points +1

In the spectator stands.

"Is this Xu Beihai's true strength? This pure and savage fighting style, relying solely on physical strength to crush his opponent, is something I've never seen before."

"No, Beihai hasn't used his full strength yet," Guo Jingyao replied.

"You haven't used your full strength yet?"

"No wonder the three major martial arts halls are so eager to recruit him. This strength is truly terrifying. Even in top martial arts schools, he would be considered one of the best."

"That's terrifying."

Soon, Xu Beihai's points surged to the top of the leaderboard.

[First Place: Xu Beihai, 8 points]

Second place: Lin Yue, 6 points

[Third Place: Su Yu, 4.4 points]

...

[Fifth Place: Zhou Minghao, 1.2 points]

Apart from Lin Yue and his two companions, almost everyone else scored less than one point, and many even scored zero.

After a few more moves, only Lin Yue, Xu Beihai, Su Yu, and two others remained on the field.

"Finally clean." Xu Beihai clapped his hands and muttered to himself, a look of anticipation on his face.

[Only three players remain on the field; each player receives +3 points.]

[First Place: Xu Beihai, 11 points.]

Second place: Lin Yue, 9 points.

[Third place: Su Yu, 7.4 points.]

"Why don't you two fight first?" Xu Beihai said with a smile.

Compared to chaotic group battles, he prefers focused one-on-one duels. Like a top predator, a predator that can catch its prey often focuses on only one target at a time, going all out and leaving no room for retreat.

Spectator Seats

Seeing this, everyone started discussing it. "What's going on? Why did the three of them stop fighting?" someone asked, looking puzzled.

"Could it be that they're planning a 1v1 duel? That would allow us to see their true strength," another person chimed in.

"That's right. Given Xu Beihai's personality, he has always preferred fair one-on-one duels. He disdains bullying the weak with numbers and doesn't want to take advantage of others in distress."

......

"Anyway, all the points have already been collected, so it doesn't matter who goes first," Lin Yue said in a low voice.

"That suits me perfectly," Su Yu replied.

"Then let's do it." Lin Yue's aura exploded at this moment.

Warrior realm!

"It seems he really is at the Martial Artist realm!" Xu Beihai's eyes lit up.

"Although it's not as good as me, it's still pretty good."

In the spectator stands.

"This student named Lin Yue is truly a martial artist!" someone exclaimed.

"It seems our school has indeed gained another student at the Martial Artist level!"

Su Yu held his spear horizontally in front of him and laughed.

"I think I vaguely remember you."

"Oh? Really? I also have some impression of you," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Take this!" Su Yu's gun was so fast that only a blur could be seen.

"Clang!" Fortunately, Lin Yue reacted quickly enough and raised his sword to block the attack.

Having practiced the Bear Sutra and Bird Strike Technique for so long, Lin Yue's flexibility and speed have far surpassed those of other cultivators at the same level. Moreover, he has now become a true entry-level martial artist.

Following Lin Yue's force, Su Yu slid the tip of the spear, pointing it directly at Lin Yue's right hand holding the knife.

"This is bad!" Lin Yue sighed inwardly.

If I don't let go, this right hand will definitely be ruined!

If you let go, the Mo Dao will definitely be sent flying!

"My use of weapons is still too weak!" Lin Yue thought to himself.

The opponent was a master gun user, several levels above Lin Yue in terms of weaponry skills.

"Then we won't use weapons!"
