Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

"My move, 'Leopard Strike,' is a technique honed through hundreds of real battles. Even ordinary low-level star beasts might not be able to withstand a single blow from it!"

Xu Beihai shouted in a deep voice, and a faint martial arts aura suddenly emanated from his body. His entire body tensed up, like a wild cheetah that had been lying in wait for a long time. The muscles in his limbs were taut, and he suddenly exerted force with his feet.

"The outcome is decided," Xu Beihai said with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, the two were already close. Xu Beihai's Leopard Strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless, with all his strength concentrated in his shoulder, slamming into Lin Yue's chest.

"Bang!"

A dull thud rang out, and Lin Yue had no time to mount a proper defense. Like a kite with a broken string, he was instantly sent flying by the violent force.

Xu Beihai was not unscathed either. The instant he successfully attacked Lin Yue with his Leopard Strike, Lin Yue simultaneously threw a punch, breaking one of Xu Beihai's arms.

"You, who have just entered the Martial Artist realm, are still too weak for me," Xu Beihai murmured, supporting his severed arm.

"However, it's already quite good that you've given me a good time. I acknowledge you." Xu Beihai looked down at Lin Yue with a hint of appreciation on his face.

The audience in the stands was already buzzing with discussion.

"As expected, Xu Beihai is still far superior to Lin Yue."

"It seems that Lin Yue has only just entered the martial artist realm and is far from being able to compete with Xu Beihai." Guo Jingyao shook his head.

"However, it's already quite impressive that they were able to fight Xu Beihai to this extent," someone remarked.

Xu Beihai is a true powerhouse in the top tier of the elite class. Lin Yue has only been in the elite class for a short time, and his performance has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Inside the martial arts classroom, the students watching were in an uproar.

wow——

"As expected, Xu Beihai won this victory."

"Xu Beihai is still too strong," many people remarked.

"Tch, weren't they so imposing just now? Why are they lying on the ground, not moving at all?" The trainees who had been eliminated by Lin Yue in the assessment earlier looked on with glee.

"You talk like you're really close to Xu Beihai. You bunch of dogs are even trying to ride on his coattails," Zhou Minghao mocked.

"Who are you calling a dog? Say it again if you dare!" The students' faces flushed red instantly as they glared at Zhou Minghao and shouted angrily.

Zhou Minghao: "Sucking sounds..."

"You're asking for a beating, aren't you?!"

The students in the elite class are not fixed. The academy has a strict elimination mechanism. Those who are not good enough will be kicked out of the class, and strong newcomers from outside will be added.

Therefore, most of the students in the class were not familiar with each other, and there was already hidden competition among them. Many of them even had old grudges, and a small conflict could easily lead to a fight.

"Come on," Zhou Minghao said with a smile.

Just as tensions were about to rise, a sharp shout suddenly came from not far away.

"What are you doing here? Are you causing trouble?" Guo Jingyao asked in a low voice.

"Want to fight?" he asked.

Upon seeing that the person in question was Guo Jingyao, the group of people who had been angry just moments before immediately became submissive and obsequious.

"We were just joking, teacher..."

"Yes, teacher."

Guo Jingyao also had a lot of headaches dealing with these troublesome students, but without substantial evidence, he couldn't really impose any punishments.

"You guys, run 50 laps around the track, then come to class."

"Yes." These troublemakers didn't dare to disobey Guo Jingyao's words.

"Teacher, how is Lin Yue?" Zhou Minghao asked.

Seeing that only Guo Jingyao was visible, Zhou Minghao had a bad feeling.

"Lin Yue only suffered a mental blow; he's fine and will recover after some rest."

After speaking, he looked at the remaining students in the classroom and said loudly:

"Alright, everyone stop crowding around here. Those who need to practice, go practice; those who need to study martial arts theory, focus on your studies. Don't delay your own training progress."

Then, he raised his voice a few decibels and added solemnly:

"Also, I need to inform everyone that a crucial class will be held this afternoon. All elite class students must attend; no one may be absent or late!"

A very important course? What kind of course is it?

"Does everyone have to participate? This has never happened before." Upon hearing this, the trainees were filled with doubt and whispered among themselves, their hearts brimming with curiosity.

"That's right, everyone must be present without exception." Guo Jingyao's tone was extremely solemn. Without further explanation, he immediately announced.

"This concludes today's classes. Everyone, please proceed with your own practice."

...

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yue slowly opened his eyes, feeling weak and sore all over, with a dizzy and throbbing head.

"What happened to me?" He only remembered being beaten by Xu Beihai without being able to fight back, and he had no recollection of what happened afterward.

"I only heard someone saying some nonsensical things to me." Lin Yue felt a splitting headache.

Just then, a pale blue, semi-transparent virtual panel suddenly appeared before him, slowly displaying lines of clear text:

Name: Lin Yue

Age: 18

Life Energy Level: 12.0

[Mastered Body Strengthening Techniques: Bear Posture (Proficient), Bird Extension (Proficient)]

[Martial art mastered: Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist (Tier 2)]

[Awakened Talent: Martial Will (Tier 1)]

[Seed of True Qi: 89% (Recovering)]

"Martial Will? First Rank?" Lin Yue stared blankly at these four words, lost in thought.

"It seems that this martial will, like the 'Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist,' can be upgraded in rank," Lin Yue murmured.

"The seed of true energy will revive soon."

89%. Based on Lin Yue's cultivation progress, he can fully revive the True Qi Seed in at most two days.

"You're finally awake," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Teacher Li." Lin Yue quickly forced himself to sit up and greeted him respectfully.

"Your fight with Xu Beihai just now was truly a sight to behold."

...

After Li Yuan's explanation, Lin Yue finally understood what was going on.

"So this is the will of martial arts?"

"No wonder I can't remember what just happened; I was just fighting purely on instinct."

Xu Beihai defeated Lin Yue, meaning Xu Beihai has 12 points and Lin Yue has 10 points.

"Teacher Li, if I get 10 points, which tier would I be in?" Lin Yue asked.

"There is no points threshold requirement for the fourth tier, which means that every student who enters the elite class starts from the fourth tier."

"Then the point requirement for the third tier is 5 points, the point requirement for the second tier is 10 points, and the point requirement for the first tier is 40 points."

"In other words, you've just reached the entry-level standard for the second tier," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Second tier!"
