I possess boundless talent; even geniuses are no match for me.

......

After Jiang Xiaoyue's reminder, Mo Bai and Dai Guang both looked at the terminal.

Mo Bai raised an eyebrow slightly: "It really is true, there are actually two cyborgs, that's rather unusual."

Generally speaking, only the elites of a city can participate in the martial arts exam preliminaries.

The genes of cyborgs are extremely stable, which means that their talents in all aspects are generally average, and martial arts geniuses are rare.

Furthermore, without a family background to provide initial training resources, it is difficult to achieve anything in martial arts.

In previous preliminary rounds, it was rare for even one cyborg to appear, let alone two at the same time.

In the vast majority of cases, all the contestants are natural people; there are no spots for cyborgs.

"I take back what I just said. This group of elites in Jiangcheng is quite interesting," Mo Bai said with a smile.

Dai Guang frowned slightly: "It seems the martial arts atmosphere in Jiangcheng isn't very good, that two cyborgs have actually taken up this position."

Imperial Capital University does not accept cyborgs. Although this is not explicitly stated, it is an unspoken rule of Imperial Capital University.

Before the competition even started, he already had two fewer spots available for selection.

Since they are representing their own martial arts university to select geniuses in advance, the greater their gains, the greater their rewards.

If they return empty-handed, not only will they not receive a reward from the school, but they may also lower their image in the eyes of the school's higher-ups.

"Tsk, this Zhao Tianyi is a good prospect, it's a pity you can't take him in!" Mo Bai mocked without any attempt to hide his sarcasm.

Dai Guang chuckled coldly: "You talk as if your Shangjiang Society is accepting cyborgs. I heard that your students have to bribe their way into choosing a mentor."

Mo Bai was speechless.

Although Ueshima University does not discriminate against cyborgs, it does discriminate against the poor, and money and resources are needed to build relationships in many aspects.

This is actually no different from discriminating against cyborgs.

It is well known that cyborgs are all poor.

Both of them looked at Jiang Xiaoyue. Among the three prestigious universities, only Huaying University and Wuhan University had a slightly better status for bio-engineered humans.

"This Zhao Tianyi is not bad..." Jiang Xiaoyue fell into deep thought, silently comparing him.

......

Meanwhile, the people standing on the football field were unaware of what was happening in the stands.

They were all gathered around the weapons rack, choosing suitable weapons.

The weapons you bring cannot be used; you must use the weapons provided by the event organizers.

Fortunately, the armory has a wide variety of weapons of all types and sizes, so you can always find one that suits you.

"Chen Yu, I didn't expect you to participate in the competition?"

Hao Xi looked Chen Yu up and down, never expecting to run into him here.

The experience of our last encounter is still vivid in my mind.

She, a top martial arts genius from No. 1 High School, was actually defeated by an unknown nobody, which kept her up at night for several nights.

Every time I dream about that battle, I think about the details and how to win.

"Long time no see," Chen Yu greeted him, then began searching for weapons.

"If we meet again this time, I won't lose," Hao Xi said in a low voice, ignoring Chen Yu.

While others might not be able to hear what Hao Xi said, Zhao Tianyi and Wang Qianjun, who were standing next to Chen Yu, certainly couldn't possibly miss it.

"You've even beaten Hao Xi?" the two asked in unison.

Wang Qianjun, in particular, lost all his coldness and was filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Even he wouldn't dare say he's guaranteed to beat Haoxi!

"Uh... Hao Xi suppressed his cultivation level back then, but I still managed to beat you once, didn't I?" Chen Yu looked at Wang Qianjun and reminded him.

"I see." Wang Qianjun suddenly realized.

Zhao Tianyi clicked his tongue in amazement: "So deliberately suppressing one's cultivation level is no simple matter."

The three stopped chatting and each chose their weapons.

Chen Yu selected a black battle blade, which was of excellent quality, but its sharpness could not compare to his Blood Chant, and it was even somewhat dull.

"It must have been specially modified to prevent accidental injury." Chen Yu glanced at the other people's weapons and noticed that they had all undergone some special treatment.

Just as everyone had chosen their weapons and were eagerly anticipating the match, the man in the suit who had started first arrived at the center of the viewing platform.

At the same time, the person's voice began to play from the surrounding speakers:

"The format for this martial arts exam preparatory competition is: free-for-all!"

Melee!

Upon hearing this, the expressions of many students present changed.

Compared to arena battles and points-based competitions, free-for-all battles are arguably the format with the most unexpected factors.

Alliances between enemies and friends, backstabbing, multi-on-one attacks... a whole host of factors exist, making the final outcome unpredictable.

After all, even someone at the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm might not rank as high as someone at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm if surrounded by multiple opponents.

In an instant, the eyes of the martial arts students present subtly changed, and they were already thinking about who they should ally with later.

Forming an alliance with top players can definitely improve your final ranking.

But true masters... might not even look down on them.

"The playing area is the entire football field; going outside the field is considered a loss..." The loudspeaker's voice continued to ring out.

On the football field, Zhao Tianyi and Wang Qianjun exchanged glances, subtly signaling to each other, and began to move their feet.

Hao Xi, Ling Langtian, Die Xiaoxiao, Wan Wuxia, and other experts at the eighth level of Body Tempering also began to move in one direction.

"Looks like those at the eighth level of Body Tempering are planning to eliminate the others first!"

Chen Yu realized this.

This is normal. The geniuses at the eighth level of Body Tempering are proud and arrogant. How could they allow themselves to be taken advantage of by a group of seventh-level Body Tempering experts?

The best option is to join forces to eliminate the weaker ones first, and then let them decide the winner among themselves.

Chen Yu could see it, and naturally, everyone else could too.

"If Hao Xi and the others can cooperate, so can we!"

"We outnumber them; we might not be unable to defeat them!"

At this moment, many people at the seventh level of Body Tempering also quickly gathered together to confront the geniuses like Hao Xi.

Although their individual strength was inferior to their opponents, they had a larger number of people!

Three times the size of the opposing side!

The loudspeaker was still ringing out, explaining the rules of this pre-match competition.

However, the martial arts students on the football field had already chosen their sides and were just waiting for the final moment to arrive.

Except for one person.

Chen Yu had not yet chosen a side and was stuck between two factions.

On one side is the genius alliance composed of Hao Xi, Zhao Tianyi and others, and on the other side is the Seventh Alliance formed by eighteen people at the seventh level of Body Tempering.

"Hey, you're not here yet? Are you waiting to be the first one eliminated?" a martial arts student at the seventh level of Body Tempering shouted.

On the other side, Zhao Tianyi and Wang Qianjun frowned when they saw that Chen Yu had not yet chosen a side.

"Chen Yu, although we have a pretty good relationship, I can't help you right now," Zhao Tianyi reminded him.

The warm-up matches are very important.

If he lets Chen Yu join, others can also bring their own friends in, then what's the point of fighting?

Wouldn't that be complete chaos!

At this moment, Chen Yu was positioned between the two groups. He first looked at the Sevenfold Alliance:

"I'm sorry, I'm not at the seventh level of Body Tempering, so I can't join you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yu stopped trying to hide his true feelings.

The aura of the eighth level of body tempering was revealed.

The eighth level of body tempering!

"Eighth level of Body Tempering?!" Hao Xi, Zhao Tianyi, and Wang Qianjun, who had previously fought against Chen Yu, were all shocked.

But they didn't have time to think about how Chen Yu had improved to this level in just two months.

Hao Xi stepped forward: "Since you're also at the eighth level of Body Tempering, then come to our side and eliminate those weaklings first, then we'll settle the score between us!"

However, Chen Yu shook his head: "Sorry, I won't join your side either."

Haoxi: "?"

At this moment, both sides were somewhat confused.

In this situation, there is no such thing as neutrality. Anyone who dares to remain neutral will undoubtedly be attacked by both sides and will inevitably be the first to be eliminated.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Yu chuckled softly:

"Gentlemen, I love fighting!"
