High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 79 Three Great Masters
The light and shadow faded before my eyes, but the familiar victory and defeat announcements from the Imperial Arena still echoed in my ears.

Qin Feng's consciousness shifted from the highly focused battle back to the magnificent and solemn real arena of the "Crown of the Arctic".

With three wins and two losses in five qualifying matches, his shooting touch has completely warmed up, and his mental state has also been adjusted to its best.

He had just opened his eyes when he heard Qian Duoduo let out a suppressed gasp of surprise beside him.

"I found it!"

Qin Feng turned his head and saw Qian Duoduo holding his wrist terminal. On the virtual screen, various information streams were densely arranged, and on his face was an excited expression as if he had discovered a new continent.

Shi Potian was also attracted by his commotion and cast an inquiring glance at him.

"What are you doing? Why are you so startled?"

"Intelligence! Important intelligence!"

Qian Duoduo lowered her voice, but the excitement in her tone was hard to hide. "I've been browsing the hot posts on the Qimingxing public martial arts forum, and I've finally dug out a few of the toughest points in this freshman competition!"

He turned the light screen toward Qin Feng and Shi Potian, pointing to the first message.

"Look at this guy, Lei Yi, from 'Tian Shu Martial Arts High School'. This guy is our class's top scorer in the All-Star Middle School Entrance Examination! It's said that after he enrolled, his school treated him like a treasure, showering him with massive resources. Right now, his vitality index is conservatively estimated at around 15.0. He uses dual short sticks, and the killing technique he cultivates is called 'Wind and Thunder Stick,' a technique known for its ferocious attacks and speed like wind and thunder. He has already cultivated this technique to the 'minor success' level, and it's said that he didn't just break through to minor success, but rather he has been at minor success for a long time, and may even have achieved major success. His strength is unfathomable, and he is the biggest favorite to win this freshman competition!"

Hearing this, Qin Feng thought for a moment.

Is it possible to achieve great success?

His current vitality index is over 14 points, and it continues to rise even with passive abilities.

The killing technique has long been perfected, and it is only a matter of time before it is perfected.

"He should be able to beat Lei Yi."

Qin Feng thought for a moment: "If the information is correct..."

Qian Duoduo swiped the light screen again and brought up the second document.

"This one, Shi Dang, comes from 'Star River Military Affiliated High School'. His middle school entrance exam ranking wasn't high, only over a thousand, making him a dark horse who came out of nowhere. What's most special about him is his bloodline. It's said that he has some Stoneman blood, giving him a naturally strong physique and extraordinary defensive capabilities. He uses a broadsword, and his vitality index is unknown."

At this point, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but marvel: "Speaking of which, his father is quite a character. A Stone Clan member, those are like stones, yet he can go down there... cough, uh, isn't he afraid of pain?"

"Go away."

Shi Potian rolled his eyes and coldly interrupted him, "There are countless races in the universe, with all sorts of strange ways of reproduction. The Stone People are a typical example of 'stone-blood reproduction,' their lifeblood is their blood. When their blood combines with human blood, under certain conditions, there is an extremely low probability of producing offspring with mixed bloodlines. The Stone People are one of the few alien humanoid races that can produce offspring with humans, but the Stone People only have one drop of blood every hundred years, which is indeed rare."

"Uh...is that so?"

Qian Duoduo was taken aback, then chuckled awkwardly, "Okay, never mind. Haha, let's move on to the third one."

He cleared his throat and pointed to the last document.

"This third one is named Li Qing, from 'Golden Dragon Martial Arts High School'. He ranked fifth in the high school entrance exam and is also a top genius. His current vitality index is said to have reached 15.0. His fighting style is very strange, and he uses throwing knives as his weapon. He has cultivated two killing techniques at the same time, one is 'Basic Throwing Knife' and the other is a movement technique called 'Phantom Step'. The combination of these two killing techniques makes him extremely slippery, and his movement is unpredictable and very difficult to deal with."

After introducing the three, Qian Duoduo summarized: "Currently, in the freshman competition, these three are the monsters, leading by a huge margin in strength. Besides them, I've also dug out about a dozen other guys who need to be watched. Their strength level has generally reached the 'minor mastery' of killing techniques, and their vitality index is all above 10.0, which is about the same as your strength, Lao Shi."

At this point, he suddenly turned to Shi Potian: "By the way, Old Shi, your killing technique should have reached the 'minor mastery' level by now, right?"

"In the first two weeks, I made some small successes by chance."

Shi Potian's answer carried a hint of barely perceptible arrogance.

To be able to master a killing technique to a "minor level" within just over two months of enrollment is enough to be considered genius anywhere.

However, when his gaze swept over Qin Feng, who stood calmly to the side, his pride vanished instantly, leaving only a helpless mutter of "monster."

He knew very well that the dozen or so so-called geniuses who, like him, had reached the "minor mastery of killing techniques," had probably all, like him, devoted the vast majority of their cultivation time and energy to the practice of killing techniques, and only then had they barely achieved such results.

And what about Qin Feng?

This monster had already mastered some of its killing techniques by the time of the first monthly exam!
Comparing yourself to others can be incredibly frustrating.

Before Shi Potian was controlling his vitality index, he played several times more ranked matches in the Imperial Arena every day than Qin Feng, and he reached the Lesser Completion realm purely through hard work.

Tian Shu Martial Arts High School - Spectator Area

A lean, sharp-eyed young man was quietly wiping two dark gold short sticks in his hands.

He is Lei Yi.

"Brother Lei, the championship in this freshman competition is definitely yours!" "Of course! Brother Lei is the top scorer in our year's high school entrance exam. Looking at the entire Qiming Star Academy, who can rival you?"

"I just checked the forum, and the other schools don't have any outstanding freshmen at all. Qiming No.1 High School, the oldest school, hasn't had any news at all, so I guess they don't have any impressive students."

Lei Yi didn't speak, but paused slightly as he wiped the short stick.

His gaze swept across the tens of thousands of spectators and landed precisely in the direction of Qiming No. 1 High School, a confident smile curving his lips.

From the very beginning, he had only one goal.

That is, the champion.

……

Xinghe Military Affiliated High School - Spectator Area

A boy with an unusually burly build and skin that was a light rock gray was leaning back in his seat, resting with his eyes closed.

He is Shi Dang.

Several seats were empty around him, and no one dared to approach him easily.

Its body, as solid as a boulder, exuded an oppressive aura that kept strangers at bay.

Of course, no one spoke to him, not because he was strong, but because of people's strange looks and opinions about mixed-race or mixed-race people.

His voice was deep and resonant, like the friction of rocks.

"First……"

“My father once said that my bloodline is honor, not impurity.”

"We must get first place."

"..."

His fist clenched silently, making a cracking sound from his knuckles.

Even though he was in a military academy affiliated high school, Shi Dang still received a lot of cold shoulders.

However, he was very fortunate that he applied to a military academy-affiliated high school instead of a private high school like Jinlong Martial Arts High School. Otherwise, he would have faced not only cold stares but also a lot of unpleasant things that would have affected his cultivation.

He doesn't care if it's just cold indifference!
As long as it doesn't interfere with his cultivation!
Although Shi Dang thought this way, his clenched fists still showed that he cared a lot about his bloodline.

……

Jinlong Wugao · Spectator Area

A handsome young man with a faint smile always playing on his lips was deftly toying with several thin, cicada-wing-like throwing knives between his fingers.

He is Li Qing.

Unlike the other two who were aloof, he was surrounded by a lot of people, both men and women, clearly very popular and surrounded by admirers.

Jinlong Martial Arts High School is a private martial arts high school. Most of the students who apply to Jinlong Martial Arts High School are "second-generation martial arts students". The class distinction is obvious and bullying incidents often occur.

"Brother Qing, you're really too modest. This freshman competition must have been a piece of cake for you, right?"

A gorgeously dressed girl looked at him with adoration.

"You can't say that."

Li Qing smiled, the throwing knife between his fingers darting like a butterfly, "Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. But..."

He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping across the arena: "I've looked around, and there really aren't any opponents I need to pay special attention to. That Qiming No. 1 High School is acting all mysterious; not a single useful piece of information has leaked out yet. However, based on past experience, their students, while having a solid foundation, are mostly a bit rigid, so they're not a big threat."

The reason why Qiming No. 1 High School is so isolated from information is not because it lacks geniuses, but because its management style is completely different from all other schools.

There is no student council here, no clubs, and no student council member is so bored as to post information about their classmates on public forums. At most, they just chat on the school forum.

Qiming No.1 High School is the school with the strictest academic discipline, the most rigorous school spirit, and the most intense cultivation atmosphere in the entire Qiming Star Group.

Every student here is engaging in almost cruel self-suppression in order to catch up with those who came before.

Even a lazy dog ​​like Qian Duoduo will become diligent under the influence and encouragement of the surrounding atmosphere.
