We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 68: The Round of 32 Admissions Ends
It only lasted a few seconds.

Rumble!
The stands erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers than before. Their passion was completely ignited at this moment. Waving their flags and shouting, they created a powerful wave of sound that swept through the entire venue like a storm.

That's the thrill of a swift kill.

Although many viewers didn't get a clear look at the specific details of the battle, it didn't stop them from cheering and having enough of the action in the previous two days.

In the stands, many students even imitated Shen Bailian, raising three fingers in the same gesture.

"Fuck!"

"That guy finished the fight so quickly!"

"These are students from Bozhou No. 3 Middle School? They're so strong, I don't think I've ever heard of them before."

"Hey, from today onwards, you'll hear this name all the time. This video will definitely go viral once it's uploaded to Starlink."

These were students from various high schools in Bozhou City, and they were all shocked. Even the renowned Li Hongling could not finish the battle so quickly.

This is absolutely outrageous, incredibly audacious.

"That's my son, Shen Bailian!"

Even though Shen Zhenxing was usually very composed, at this moment, he couldn't help but spread his arms wide, like a child, and jumped up from his seat in an instant, raising his arms and shouting, instantly attracting a lot of attention.

"Uncle, may I ask about Shen Bailian's Star Alliance account?"

Shen Bailian was tall and slender, appearing rather thin among the group of muscular martial artists, but at this moment he gave off the feeling of a volcano before it erupted, making him extremely dangerous.

However, when the golden sunlight shone on him, with one hand raised high, he looked exceptionally radiant and handsome, as if he were glowing, forming a stark contrast with Jiang Shun, who was lying on the ground opposite him.

"Holy crap, this guy actually did it for real! And it really did last three seconds!"

Xiao Yan and the others looked at the boy on the stage and couldn't help but swear.

Even Li Hongling was somewhat stunned, a sense of indescribable shock welling up in her heart.

A strong fighting spirit surged within her, like a flame ignited and burning fiercely. She could no longer hide her strength, or the young man would steal the limelight.

This joint martial arts event is not just about winning first place.

More importantly, you need to get invitations from the six universities.

VIP room~
"The battle ended so quickly this time."

"It's probably because Jiang Shun was blinded by his previous three victories and became a little complacent."

"However, that boy's physical fitness level is at least 5.0! Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to defeat Jiang Shun so easily. His name is Shen Bailian, right? Old Tang, do you have any information about him to show us?"

The VIP room was filled with martial arts schools, including Jiangbei Martial Arts School, Qingshan Martial Arts School, and Chang'an Martial Arts School, due to the special nature of this joint martial arts event. Almost all the martial arts universities in the northern region came to participate in this grand occasion.

They all sent one or two observers to check the situation and see if they could find any promising talents.

"Only 17 years old? A high school sophomore?"

"He's still a pure-blooded human? To be able to fight against a human form, he definitely possesses some kind of special physique!"

"Incredible! They actually managed to snatch the Fearless Medal from Li Hongling and the others. Why isn't this person in our school's talent pool? With the Fearless Medal alone, they should at least be able to sign a lower-level B-rank training contract."

Many observers began frantically taking notes. This was a special physique; these people were born to fight against the gods.

At the moment, this is entirely a matter of luck.

If you're lucky, a cluster of them might appear in one city; if you're unlucky, not one might emerge for several years in a row.

But in any case, for the vast territory of the Great Xia, ten thousand is not a lot.

"Hey~" The two observers from Jiangbei Martial Arts School looked at the observers from other schools, exchanged a glance, and both gave a helpless wry smile. Then, they quickly shifted their attention to the other target students.

After all, the Heavenly Gang Academy had already made a statement, showing a strong determination to acquire Shen Bailian.

As for speaking out about this and informing the observers from other schools?

impossible.

In terms of student recruitment, each school is a competitor to the others, and this period of time allows them to discover more suitable and promising candidates.

The surging, tidal wave of noise continued until the start of the next round of the competition before gradually subsiding.

In the ensuing battles, some people, caught up in the roar of the battle, got carried away and tried to imitate Shen Bailian's fighting style.

However, due to insufficient strength, they almost suffered a crushing defeat. After that, the other students realized what was happening and brought the battle back to their own rhythm.

Wednesday afternoon.

When Shen Bailian advanced to the top 32, he defeated his opponent with an extremely strong attitude, and under the cheers of the audience, he struck the same pose as always.

Huang Xu, Gao Lei, Wu Gang, and Li Hongling also successfully advanced to the top 32, while Xiao Yan was matched with Wu Gang and narrowly lost, ultimately ranking 33rd.

As for Wei Peng, his good luck seemed to have run out, as he was eliminated in the round of 128 to 64, ultimately ranking 99th.

However, given his current physical attributes of 3.1, this ranking is already quite high. After a year of rigorous training in his senior year of high school, coupled with the tempering effect of the precious medicine, he should be able to raise his physical attributes to at least 5.0.

Next, on Thursday, will be the round of 32 to 16, the round of 16 to 8, and then the ranking matches.

As always, the official announcement revealed that the student with the lowest physical fitness level among the top 32 had a score of 4.3. If this were two hundred years ago, such a student would have been considered a top student across the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

However, even two hundred years later, in Bozhou City, he would only be ranked among the first-rate geniuses, and in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, he would at most be ranked among the second-rate geniuses.

From the perspective of basic data, this is a sign of a country's gradual rise to power, and also the root of its ability to survive in this era of divine ascension.

The real trend is often not something that a single top expert can change; it requires at least two, and many more pillars of support.

And once these thirty-two students have grown up normally, they will all be able to become the backbone of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Around dusk~
"If we're matched together tomorrow, I won't hold back."

"Do you expect me to go easy on you?" Huang Xu retorted defiantly in the face of Gao Lei's provocation. "Just don't let me beat you until you beg for mercy."

"With weapons in hand, the outcome is hard to predict, but bare-handed, what do you think?"

Gao Lei bit his finger, his meaning clear.

"."

Shen Bailian and the others walked on the bustling street. They had gone through the battle of Yujing Peak together, and after spending several more days together, they had become familiar with each other's personalities.

Huang Xu wasn't as arrogant as his cousin Li Tianxing; Wu Gang had a cold exterior but was actually a warm-hearted person; Li Hongling was rather domineering but not a bad person at heart; Gao Lei was somewhat proud.

In addition, their strengths were comparable, they had common topics, and their relationship became increasingly harmonious.

Fandou Street, at the crossroads.

"I'm going home first."

"Get some rest, I'll come cheer you on tomorrow!"

After saying goodbye to Wei Peng, Shen Bailian headed home.
