Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

These words seemed to carry some strange power, like ice water poured over his head, instantly clearing Lin Yue's previously drowsy consciousness.

Yeah, that's it?

No, not at all!

Lin Yue suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with a light he had never seen before.

Martial arts will!

These four weighty characters exploded in Lin Yue's mind, lingering there for a long time, impossible to shake off.

In this world where martial arts reign supreme, a martial artist's strength is never limited to the physical body. Physical prowess is the visible foundation of power, measured in terms of life energy level.

The key to a martial artist's ascension to the top lies in the tempering of the spirit. The ultimate manifestation of this spiritual power is the martial will!

The rarity of martial arts willpower far exceeds ordinary people's imagination. Even in a martial arts academy full of talents, it is not possible to find one person with martial arts willpower among a thousand students.

It cannot be obtained through cultivation techniques, nor can it be achieved by accumulating resources. Only when one's physical body is at its limit and one's spirit is on the verge of collapse, relying on one's inherent indomitable spirit and unwavering determination, is it possible to awaken by sheer luck.

The so-called martial will is the state of fighting to the bitter end after the body is exhausted and consciousness is blurred, completely abandoning all thought and hesitation, relying only on the purest fighting instinct, and fighting to the bitter end.

The reason why Xu Beihai was so sought after by the three major martial halls was not only because of his strength, but also because he had awakened his martial will half a year ago.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xu Beihai has always lived alone, willingly keeping company with tigers, leopards, wolves, birds, and beasts in the deep mountains and forests.

In fighting these creatures, which are full of primal wildness and have only a pure instinct to kill, he was able to cast aside all distractions and constantly push himself to his limits. This unique experience played an irreplaceable role in cultivating his martial arts will.

Lin Yue's consciousness returned to reality, and Xu Beihai's fists continued to rain down like a storm.

"It's not over yet." Lin Yue caught Xu Beihai's fist steadily with one palm.

"Oh?" Xu Beihai was a little surprised that Lin Yue could catch his punch even in this state.

Xu Beihai threw another punch, but Lin Yue instinctively dodged it.

Lin Yue dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the punch. The wind from the punch grazed his cheek, lifting a few strands of hair.

"You dodged it?" Xu Beihai raised an eyebrow slightly, then snorted coldly.

"What about this move?"

Xu Beihai turned his body and swept his right leg out like a steel whip, the wind from the leg was fierce and there was a "crackling" sound in the air.

"True Qi entwines!"

Someone in the audience exclaimed.

Xu Beihai's internal energy was more pure and fierce than Su Yu's.

"I never expected Xu Beihai to have also mastered the art of 'intertwining true qi'!"

"If that kick goes down, Lin Yue will probably break a few bones."

This kick was a whole level faster than the previous attacks, clearly indicating that Xu Beihai had used more of his strength.

Lin Yue's pupils contracted slightly as he tried to dodge completely, but the leg wind was already upon him, leaving him no time to make any further moves.

He could only hastily cross his arms, desperately protecting himself in front of him, trying his best to block this fatal blow.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Lin Yue was kicked and sent flying several meters to the side.

Immediately afterwards, a faint but incredibly clear "crack" sound came from Lin Yue's forearm. The sharp pain of a broken bone instantly swept through his body, making him gasp involuntarily.

The gap in strength and physical conditioning is too large.

Even after awakening his martial arts will, there was still a huge gap between Lin Yue's physical abilities and Xu Beihai's.

The audience stand.

That kick was too brutal! An ordinary martial artist would probably have been crippled!

"Even a body tempered to the level of a martial artist can't withstand Xu Beihai's full-force attack," a veteran teacher couldn't help but exclaim.

The vice principal, watching the scene on the stage, was filled with admiration.

"Xu Beihai's strength and combat skills far exceeded my expectations; he truly deserves to be a top student in the elite class!"

The elite class may seem to be full of talented people, but there are clear distinctions in the hierarchy within it, with the gap between them being as wide as an insurmountable chasm.

Top experts like Xu Beihai, who belong to the first tier, are worlds apart from ordinary students in the fourth tier; there is simply no comparison.

"If Xu Beihai is this strong, then how strong must Qin Jin and Yan Ziyue be?" someone asked.

"No, although Qin Jin and Yan Ziyue are nominally tied for first place in the grade, Xu Beihai's strength is in no way inferior to theirs," Guo Jingyao explained.

"When the classes were divided in the first year of high school, Qin Jin had already sparred with Yan Ziyue, Xu Beihai and others."

"Although Qin Jin was the final victor, Xu Beihai was the first to fall under the combined attack of Qin Jin and Yan Ziyue."

"Actually, in terms of true strength, the three of them are probably evenly matched!"

Martial arts classroom, large screen.

The eliminated students have left the Starry Sky Battle Network and returned to the martial arts classroom where they had trained their weapons. The large screen in the martial arts classroom is showing the battle between Lin Yue and Xu Beihai.

"Now it's just Lin Yue and Xu Beihai left. Let's see how arrogant he can be now. He's definitely going to get beaten to a pulp by Xu Beihai!"

"Weren't you so cocky when you eliminated us? Now that you've met a real powerhouse, I'll see how long you can last!"

Many students who were eliminated by Lin Yue were filled with resentment and unwillingness. At this moment, they were all staring at the screen with schadenfreude, hoping that Lin Yue would be defeated by Xu Beihai so as to relieve their resentment.

Lin Yue swayed slightly, but eventually regained his balance.

"Interesting," Xu Beihai said with a slight smile.

"He actually awakened his martial will at a time like this."

"However—" Xu Beihai's voice suddenly turned cold. "A newly awakened martial will is like a newborn beast, still too immature!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Beihai attacked again. This time he was faster and his attack was more fierce, giving Lin Yue no chance to catch his breath.

A powerful punch, accompanied by a whistling wind, was aimed straight at Lin Yue's face.

However, this time, Lin Yue did not passively take the beating as before.

"Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist!" Lin Yue had completely lost consciousness at this moment and was fighting purely on his body's instincts.

His figure was like a torrent. Although he was not as fast as Xu Beihai, every step he took was extremely steady, with an indomitable momentum.

"How dare an ant shake a tree!" Xu Beihai hissed.

Xu Beihai bent down.

"Bionic Technology - Leopard Strike," he hissed.

Training with wild beasts not only honed his martial arts will but also taught him many natural techniques.

Xu Beihai's "Leopard Thrust" move was developed while fighting leopards. By imitating the leopard's physique and power generation, he could unleash the same power and speed as a leopard chasing its prey.

The audience stand.

"No wonder Xu Beihai spends all his time in the deep mountains and forests, living among tigers, leopards, and wild animals!"

"So that's how it is..." Many people looked thoughtful.

"Martial arts created by imitating the physique and skills of animals are truly rare!"

"What should Lin Yue do now?"
