Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

As soon as the lean instructor finished speaking, the large, jet-black spear shot out like an arrow, accompanied by a whistling wind.

This shot was extremely fast; if you were facing it on the spot, it would be very difficult to see its speed.

Even the martial arts students sitting in the audience were holding their breath, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

That's the real difference.

"That's amazing marksmanship!"

"If I were on the field, I would have been finished by the first shot."

"That's the difference. Compared to Lin Yue, we're far inferior."

"There's a second shot! My God, it's so fast again, I can't see it, I can't see it at all!"

A murmur of discussion arose, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the combat simulation platform.

On the stage.

Faced with these two rapid, thunderous shots, Lin Yue's eyes narrowed, but he remained completely calm.

Almost the instant the spear tip arrived, he swung his longsword out suddenly, the blade carrying a heavy gust of wind.

"Bang!" Lin Yue's longsword collided with the large spear, making a loud noise.

"Hiss—" Feeling the tingling sensation coming from the tiger's mouth, Lin Yue couldn't help but hiss softly.

"This can't go on."

The instructor's marksmanship is fast and ruthless. If you only defend, you will only be passively attacked and eventually run out of energy.

"We must take the initiative and disrupt his rhythm."

After blocking the fatal blow, Lin Yue did not pause at all. He took a step forward and turned his body slightly to the side.

At an extremely tricky angle, he swung the knife at the side of the lean instructor.

This strike was so powerful that even many of the examiners below the stage couldn't help but gasp in amazement, their eyes flashing with astonishment.

"Excellent swordsmanship! The angles are tricky, and the power is immense. It's truly remarkable that someone so young can wield the Mo Dao to this extent!" One examiner's eyes shone.

"That was beautiful! That strike was both powerful and skillful, more adept than many adult martial artists."

"I wish I had such outstanding students."

At this moment, some examiners looked at Guo Jingyao with envy, because Lin Yue's impression on them was truly amazing.

Regardless of whether Lin Yue wins or loses this battle, they all acknowledge that Lin Yue is indeed an exceptionally outstanding student.

On the stage.

On the stage, a hint of approval flashed in the eyes of the lean instructor. He remained calm and composed in the face of Lin Yue's tricky strike.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the spear coiled around him like a serpent, precisely deflecting the longsword and averting a fatal blow.

The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch, and in a short time they had already fought dozens of rounds, with neither able to gain the upper hand. The students and examiners below the stage watched with rapt attention.

......

Time passed by second by second, and in the blink of an eye, five minutes had gone by.

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice rang out in the martial arts classroom, announcing the official end of the fierce melee.

"Calculating the score for the melee."

"Calculating..."

"Lin Yue's melee score is: 47 points!"

wow——

As soon as the mechanical sound ended, a commotion erupted from the audience, and discussions instantly broke out.

"Such a high score in melee combat!"

For a normal high school student, let alone catching up in terms of melee and unarmed combat scores, it's common for melee scores to be 10 points lower than unarmed scores.

"That's incredible, both matches lasted a full five minutes."

"That stamina is top-notch!"

"I never expected that Jiangcheng Martial Arts Affiliated High School, besides the top students in the elite class, would have such outstanding students. It's truly a place where hidden talents abound!"

On the combat simulation platform, a mechanical sound echoed throughout the martial arts classroom.

Just as everyone was discussing this, the mechanical sound once again resounded throughout the entire arena on the combat simulation platform:

"Lin Yue's final practical test score: 95 points!"

Silence reigned.

After a long while, some people slowly came to their senses and gasped in shock.

"95 points...is that the highest score today?"

"It's hard to say, Qin Jin, Xu Beihai, and the others haven't been tested yet," someone said calmly.

"Qin Jin is the top student in the whole school, so his strength must be strong too. He might even surpass Lin Yue."

"That's true." Someone nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I haven't seen Xu Beihai's weapons warfare yet."

"During the last cage battle, Xu Beihai didn't use any weapons until the very end."

Amid the murmurs, several more students took to the test, but their performances were unremarkable and rather dull compared to Lin Yue's duel.

"Shen Bing: 35 points in unarmed combat, 32 points in weapon combat, total score 65 points."

"Hou Zhi: 39 points in unarmed combat, 33 points in weapon combat, total score 72 points."

These battles seemed somewhat dull and tedious compared to Lin Yue's.

Are there any other outstanding students?

"More, more!"

Many examiners were eager to try their luck and hoped to find a student as strong as Lin Yue.

Martial artists are inherently combative; who wouldn't crave a true opponent?

If you encounter a student who is too weak, the battle will not be enjoyable.

......

Since most students couldn't last 10 minutes, and their battles usually ended in two or three minutes, it was soon Qin Jin's turn to take the stage.

"Next up, Qin Jin."

Upon hearing this, many people showed anticipation, and Lin Yue was no exception. He also wanted to see just how strong this legendary number one in the entire school really was.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Jin stepped onto the simulated battle stage.

A red light swept across Qin Jin's body, and the news broadcast:

"Qin Jin, Life Energy Level 14.7!"

"Last tested life energy level: 13.6!"

"Significant progress has been made."

offstage.

"Qin Jin's life energy level is even higher than Lin Yue's..."

"No wonder he's the strongest in the whole school."

"Unarmed combat."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Jin launched the first attack. His offensive was extremely fierce, his fists like the wind and his legs like lightning, each strike carrying a powerful force, directly challenging the testing instructor and almost achieving a draw.

"Wow, that's incredible! Qin Jin's offensive is too fierce!"

"He looks just as formidable as Lin Yue, and might even be more ferocious!"

"Do you think Qin Jin can kill a star beast single-handedly?"

Once this topic was raised, many students started arguing back and forth.

"Qin Jin has been on the Northwest front for years carrying out missions to suppress the Star Beasts. Is it stupid of you to ask this question?"

"That's only because of the team. If he could really kill someone on his own, what would be the point of having a team?"

"Why not do what Lin Yue did, single-handedly slay a star beast and become famous?"

"As long as they're better than you!"

"Do we need to learn how to make ice before we can discuss the quality of a refrigerator?"

Just as the argument was getting heated, Xu Beihai said in a low voice:

"The game is still going on."

On stage, the battle between the two intensified, with neither Qin Jin nor the testing instructor giving an inch.

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the match ended at 4 minutes.

The instructor stopped what he was doing, looked at Qin Jin, and spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of approval and a fair assessment:

"Your punches are good, your kicks are sharp, and you have great explosive power, but your stamina is too weak. You can't last long."

On the live-fire simulation platform.

"Calculating unarmed combat scores."

Qin Jin's unarmed combat score is 47 points.

offstage.

One of the examiners said with an admiring look:

"Qin Jin's fighting style is more like that of a young person—fierce, aggressive, and daring!"

"On the contrary, Lin Yue's fighting style is more like that of someone who has been through countless battles; he is too experienced."

"The two players have completely different playing styles, but it is undeniable that they are both extremely outstanding students with great potential for future development."

"Sigh, Qin Jin's unarmed combat skill is actually one point lower than Lin Yue's. So, it seems Lin Yue is still a bit stronger?"

The students were discussing it animatedly.

"No, Qin Jin's strength lies in melee combat; on the contrary, hand-to-hand combat is his weakness," Xu Beihai said.

Xu Beihai had sparred with Qin Jin countless times in private and was well aware of his strength.

"Next match: armed conflict," Guo Jingyao announced.
