People are in high martial arts, the system lives in fantasy

At the Yujing Weiyang Martial Arts Arena, a huge light screen was broadcasting a split-screen live show of two intense battles on different arenas, and the roar from the audience almost lifted the alloy dome off its height.

The highly anticipated group stage match between Zhenwu University and Tianshu University has reached a fever pitch, with the commentator's hoarse voice echoing through the loudspeaker:

"...Cheng Shanhe is locked in a fierce battle against two opponents! Tian Shu University's Twin Star Chain tactic has completely restricted his power burst! The rest of Zhenwu University are separated, and the situation is extremely critical! If Cheng Shanhe falls here, Zhenwu University's team battle system will collapse!"

The atmosphere in the dark black Zhenwu arena was as heavy as iron.

On the bench, Zhou Ziqian clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, his eyes fixed on Cheng Shanhe, who was entangled in two dazzling star trails and whose movements were sluggish as if he were stuck in a quagmire.

Coach Wang Li frowned, veins throbbing on his forehead, and muttered, "Damn it, Chen Beidou's Star Chain technique is even more tricky than last year... Hang in there, Cheng kid!"

Cheng Shanhe roared as he took the blow head-on with a starlight fist imprint. His giant shield blocked the attack with a sickening metallic twisting sound, and the arena beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

Sweat mixed with blood trickled down his forehead, and the immense force pierced through the black iron shield and went straight to his arms, causing his blood and qi to churn uncontrollably.

The Twin Star Chains of Tian Shu University—Captain Chen Beidou's "Beidou Star Shift Lock" and Vice-Captain Lin Wei's "Xuanji Fixation Chain"—are like two living star dragons, intertwined and constantly contracting.

An invisible force field, heavy as an abyss, relentlessly suppressed Cheng Shanhe's powerful mountain-like true essence, making his pride and joy seem like a mud ox sinking into the sea, each exertion of force like struggling in viscous stardust.

Su Bei's gaze remained unchanged as he sat there calmly. His handsome face, as if blessed by the sun god, showed no sign of tension. In his deep eyes, there was an extremely subtle, imperceptible golden light that flickered—as if he were observing the scene on the field.

It must be said that Tian Shu University is indeed extraordinary. The astrological gene method has allowed them to study and understand it exceptionally thoroughly. The astrological martial arts, which are already known for their complexity and mystery, are now combined and can be described as impeccable.

Especially in team events, it can often produce a synergistic effect where 1+1 is greater than 2.

"The deployment of troops was somewhat flawed. Wei Bao was eliminated early, leaving only Cheng Shanhe to carry the team."

"The other side must have studied it as well. They guessed the formation correctly, so it didn't achieve the best effect. If Cheng Shanhe loses, the next two groups will also be in grave danger when they meet the other side."

However, Cheng Shanhe is no ordinary person. In terms of personal strength alone, he can be ranked among the top three in this competition. At this moment, he seems to be in a series of defeats, but in fact he is looking for an opportunity.

If the counterattack succeeds, the game will naturally be won.

If we lose, it doesn't matter; Su Bei will naturally step in.

With his current strength, it might be an exaggeration to say that he completely overwhelmed all the other contestants present.

To put it modestly, it was probably a swift and decisive victory.

This is a numerical monster.

Let's settle things with my fists.

Having spent so many resources, utilized so many treasures, and amassed so much strength, and still cultivating the most advanced techniques in the fantasy world—it's like being fully equipped in a beginner's village, a complete and utter dimensional reduction attack.

Breaking through to the fourth rank is a result of accumulated experience, and to instantly kill a fifth-rank martial artist is perfectly reasonable.

Don't you see how the fifth-tier spies we encountered on the road didn't even have a chance to make a move before they were already dead on the spot?

As for genius?
Genius is merely the threshold for competing with him.

Since his debut, Su Bei has always won every game by crushing his opponents.

The result was not much different from what Su Bei had observed. Cheng Shanhe seized the opportunity and struck, killing the vice captain of Tian Shu University with his fist. However, he was ultimately a step weaker and was sent off the stage by Chen Beidou's Star Shift and Dipper Turn.

The subsequent plot unfolded exactly as Su Bei had predicted. Tian Shu University's astrological martial arts were far superior to theirs in terms of entanglement and attrition. Zhou Ziqian and the others were defeated one after another, with only Senior Sister Lin managing to win a point with her dart skills.

The final result was naturally that Zhenwu University lost.

Just then, a huge commotion came from the next arena.

The commotion was extremely abrupt, instantly drowning out the low atmosphere in the Zhenwu contestants' seats and the regretful sighs of some spectators. It even made the commentator, who was reporting Tian Shu University's victory, pause and subconsciously turn the camera and sound towards the adjacent No. 2 main arena.

"boom--!"

A ferocious and violent, yet wildly untamed, terrifying aura exploded outwards from the direction of Arena 2 like a tangible shockwave! Even from a distance, Zhenwu University could feel the fierce wind rushing towards them, carrying the primitive scent of wild mountains and forests.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

The holographic projection above arena number 2 flickered wildly, finally settling on a stunning image: the Night Watch University team emblem shone brightly, with the word "Victory" clearly displayed below, along with the final score—

Night Watch University 5:0 Wuyi University
One against five! And with a crushing victory!
The alloy floor of the arena was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and a large crater had sunk deep in the center, as if struck by a meteorite. At the edge of the crater, the last fighter from Wuyi University was struggling to get up, but he was covered in blood and weak, clearly incapacitated.

In the center of the pit, Li Chizi stood proudly!
His messy long hair made him look even more unruly, and the martial arts uniform he wore, soaked with sweat, had been completely torn off and casually thrown aside, revealing his bronze-colored, muscular upper body, as strong as a wild beast.

His skin was covered with tiny scratches, but instead of the bright red of wounds, it had a bronze texture like the roots of an old tree. His muscles seemed to contain the power of a landslide, and a primal, savage life force was surging from his body.

He stood with one foot beside the martial arts contestant's body, one hand holding his tattered clothes stained with his opponent's blood, the other hand raised high, index and middle fingers pointing towards his temple, then suddenly swung forward! Target: the audience!

"Roar--!!!"

A powerful, unrestrained roar, coupled with his domineering posture, instantly ignited the passion of the entire Night Watch University camp and countless spectators! Screams and shouts nearly lifted the dome off the sky!

The commentator's voice was so excited it almost cracked: "A shocking massacre! Li Chizi, the 'King of the Wild' of the Night Watch University!"

With absolute power, he accomplished the incredible feat of taking on five opponents single-handedly! Mid-stage fifth rank! Without a doubt, this was the terrifying strength of a mid-stage fifth rank cultivator!
"Wuyi University is utterly powerless against him! Shouye University is on a roll, Li Chizi... is he announcing the arrival of his era?!" The clamor crashed against the No. 1 arena area as if it were a tangible force.

The cheers of celebration from Tian Shu University were suppressed. The joy of victory that had just appeared on the faces of Chen Beidou and the others froze instantly, and they looked solemnly at the wild figure next door.

Even the composed Cheng Shanhe felt the immense pressure, his eyes sharpening. The power and aura Li Chizi unleashed were far greater than what he had displayed before the group stage!

Clearly, this "King of the Wild," who was rescued from the edge of the restricted area, is truly beginning to reveal his unfathomable potential.

Just then, Li Chizi, who was enjoying the thunderous cheers on stage number 2, suddenly swept his wild gaze across the frenzied audience with a penetrating force, finally landing precisely on contestant number 1—the Zhenwu University area, and pausing for a moment on the empty seat belonging to Su Bei.

Immediately, he grinned with a provocative and wildly arrogant smile, stretched out his blood-stained, muscular right arm, and pointed his thumb down sharply towards the Zhenwu contestants' seats!
This action was captured with crystal clarity by a high-speed camera and instantly magnified on the main screen throughout the venue!

"Wow——!"

The entire Weiyang Martial Arts Arena fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an even louder roar! Provocation! Naked provocation! After completing an astonishing one-against-five victory, the "Wild King" of Shouye University turned his attention directly to the recently defeated Zhenwu University, and even more so to Su Bei, who had yet to make an appearance in the main competition!

Almost simultaneously, all eyes, cameras, and commentators' exclamations focused on the Zhenwu players' seats!
Su Bei, who had remained calm as an observer, chuckled softly.

He sat there casually, sunlight streaming through the gaps in the canopy of the athletes' seating area, illuminating his handsome, almost perfect profile and making his gentle, jade-like features appear almost divine.

And at this time...

Among the overseas teams, Holman of the North American Rising Stars team had an unusual flush on his face, and turned to look at the people around him:
"It's just that the energy fluctuation value reached over 5400."

"Everything's getting lively."

"After so long, it's time to let these locals see what genetic martial arts really are."

boom! !

A violent pressure, completely different from the energy fluctuations in the arena, suddenly erupted from the North American rising star contestant zone, like an invisible tsunami!
The oppressive aura was so powerful and domineering, far exceeding the limits that any fourth-tier martial artist could display before. It was not the aura of a single person, but the superposition, resonance, and synergy of six or seven auras! They were like sleeping ferocious beasts opening their scarlet eyes at the same moment, brazenly announcing their "evolution" to the entire martial arts arena.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, an invisible wave of energy suddenly spread out from the lounge, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake!

Everyone nearby—spectators, reporters, staff, and players from other teams—was caught off guard by this sudden, overwhelming aura, their breath caught in their throats, and their expressions changed instantly. Those close by even felt a heaviness in their bodies, as if being crushed by a heavy object!

"what happened?!"

"My God... what kind of aura is this?!"

The commentator's voice, trembling with disbelief, ripped through the terrifying silence via the broadcast:

"Sudden...Sudden change! Unbelievable! Ladies and gentlemen! Just now! The five starting main members of the Overseas Rising Stars Team, including Captain Holman, have all...all reached the level of fifth-tier martial artists in terms of life aura and energy fluctuations!"

My God! Overnight, everyone reached Tier 5! This is simply unbelievable! This has never happened before in the history of the university league!
What exactly did they do?! This disparity in strength will completely change the landscape of the entire league!

Panic, shock, doubt... countless emotions exploded in the audience.

In the college league, even a single fifth-tier martial artist can change the course of a battle. And now, a full team of five, all of them at the fifth tier!
"Everyone?! How is this possible?! Everyone's at level five?!"

The live stream room exploded instantly, with countless comments almost completely flooding the screen:
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap?! Everyone's at Tier 5?! Has the North American rising star gone overboard?!]

[This aura... is even more intimidating than the entrance of the master-level contestants in the previous Art of Comprehension competition!]

[Cheating! Absolutely cheating! How could a team with all its members at level five appear in a university league?!]

[Weren't they level four when they arrived? It's only been a few days!]

The stands of the contestants from major universities across China were deathly silent.

On the Zhenwu contestant's side, Su Bei's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. He not only sensed the massive, complex, and superimposed energy, but also keenly detected a kind of forcibly accelerated, slightly manic and chaotic genetic rhythm contained within it.

Coach Wang Li abruptly looked up from the tactics board, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets: "Tier 5?! And it's the entire team?! When did those North Americans start mass-producing monsters like this?!"

On the judges' panel, the bigwigs who were either drowsy or watching the competition with great interest all changed color.

Bai Yutang's fingers had already landed on the sword hilt without him noticing, and his old eyes flashed with a sharp light: "What domineering external force!"

Mr. White Deer paused in stroking his beard, his cloudy old eyes fixed on the North American rising star with a grave expression: "Such a forced breakthrough will inevitably damage the foundation... the price..."

"No wonder they wanted to participate in this college league, and they were so arrogant when they came in. It turns out they had such methods."

"Is this an attempt to seize the center of world martial arts?"

Since the Dark Ages, China has stood at the pinnacle of the world. Calling it a rule-maker might be an exaggeration, but it certainly deserves the title of a maintainer of order.

No one knows the specifics.

Only Su Bei remained calm, though a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Everything's in chaos." (End of Chapter)
