Hunting God Era

Chapter 107 One Glance Makes You Dizzy

The originally planned opening match consisted of three full rounds, but this was completely cancelled because Qi An conceded defeat to Li Ye.

Another student, seeing that even the strongest Qi An had conceded defeat, was even more decisive. He went up on stage, showed his face, met the very beautiful Fu Chuxue, admired her in his heart, and then simply conceded defeat as well.

The 14th Middle School has already secured a spot in the top 16.

Once they reach the top 16, the schools compared to No. 14 Middle School can only accept their bad luck and have to accept it.

Since we're already here, it's impossible for us not to fight a single match. If we can't beat Li Ye and Fu Chuxue, can't we at least not beat Yang Jie?

Anyway, with the outstanding performance of Jingpu County No. 1 Middle School as an example, there's no shame in admitting defeat. If we encounter Li Ye and Fu Chuxue, we'll surrender; if we encounter Yang Jie, we'll fight first and then talk about it later.

At least we can get our revenge on Yang Jie.

"I surrender."

Yang Jie readily admitted defeat.

Since he's already guaranteed to win, there's no need to waste his energy and risk getting injured, especially since he's facing the strongest team from the opposing school. It's obvious he's going to lose, and he might end up seriously injured and in the hospital, which would be a huge loss.

Without Yang Jie, the school across the street didn't want to fight Li Ye and Fu Chuxue either.

Leaving aside Fu Chuxue, according to intelligence, Li Ye, who took the three-stage route to the Four Dragons Gate, whether by coincidence or she defeated Hua Zihang with her raw strength, was someone whose power was beyond their ability to handle.

Their strongest is only a Six Dragons Gate cultivator who has completed one level of the path. They are no match for these great geniuses. They might as well just admit defeat to avoid going to the hospital and affecting their subsequent training.

In the round of 16 to 8, Wuyu Middle School also entered the arena. After playing two consecutive matches, they eliminated other schools and entered the top eight.

They were even more outrageous than No. 14 Middle School. At least the latter had Yang Jie who could fight, but against Wu Yu, none of them could fight back, and all of them surrendered.

In the quarterfinals, more skilled players emerged.

The most outstanding student at Yunlu Middle School in Yunlu County is Bai Shichang, who ranks fourth in the city. He has mastered two superior martial arts and is a martial artist who has completed two stages of the martial arts path. Although he is only at the Five Dragons Gate, he is only a sophomore this year.

After Hua Zihang's batch graduates, he will likely become the top student in Ningjiang City.

The other two participating students are Liulongmen, who has passed one level of the Liulongmen, and Qilongmen, who has practiced exquisite martial arts!
This school is quite famous in Ningjiang City, ranking third in the city in terms of overall strength, but coincidentally it is paired with Wuyu Middle School.

The opening scene features Hua Zihang facing off against Bai Shichang.

"Luckily, it's for you."

Bai Shichang wields two swords. Upon seeing Hua Zihang, his first words were a smile: "I can't beat the two outside helpers your school hired, and I certainly don't want to run into No. 14 Middle School."

"What do you mean?"

Hua Zihang's face was grim, his sword blade pointing straight at them. "Am I easier to bully?"

"Yes, you are a leap higher than me, but among your opponents, apart from Lei Xiangyu from Hefu No.1 Middle School, you are the only one who can fight you. I can't beat the others."

"I'm no worse than Li Ye. The last district martial arts competition was just an accident. I will prove myself!" Hua Zihang roared.

Bai Shichang laughed, "You don't understand."

Hua Zihang is actually very powerful, a commoner genius, because his family is not a pure martial arts family. Although his parents broke through the Dragon Gate, they were not yet at the level to know about the martial arts circle in Ningjiang.

It's normal that he didn't know, but Bai Shichang did.

The Bai family is a powerful force in Yunlu County. Apart from the Ren family, whose influence is extraordinary, their family is the strongest in Yunlu County.

His father, Bai Rongzu, was a renowned martial artist who had broken through the Po Jun Pass and also practiced the superior martial arts of the Five Senses Pass. He was not to be underestimated.

However, he personally witnessed Li Ye arrive at the door. It was summer, and the weather was still very hot. He was eating melon seeds and watching TV when the door was broken down, and Li Longhu barged in.

His father's twin swords were broken into pieces by Li Ye, and the broken sword on the hilt even pierced his father's shoulder and broke his legs.

By the time Bai Shichang finished all that, he hadn't even finished eating the melon in his hand.

That domineering and unparalleled demeanor was deeply imprinted in his mind.

From then on, Bai Shichang, this spoiled brat, behaved himself, keeping an extremely low profile at school, almost as if he were invisible.

During this city martial arts competition, he didn't need his family to remind him; he knew exactly what to do.

Fortunately, we didn't run into him. It would have been better if we had run into Wu Yu and lost, so we wouldn't have to think about how to face Li Ye anymore.

Now, he can even have a showdown with Hua Zihang and vent his frustration.

One wields a single sword, is extremely fast, and prioritizes rapid attacks. Both his lightness skill and swordsmanship are top-notch. The other wields two swords, is good at both offense and defense, and has quick reflexes. They are only a step apart, not by much.

When they fought, one of them flew back and forth, his sword blade like a shooting star, while the other was equally agile with his twin swords, like a snake shrinking into its hole. With his quick and agile reactions, they were evenly matched.

After a fierce struggle, Hua Zihang, whose sword was more powerful, ultimately prevailed, defeating his enemy with a single strike. The blade penetrated a short distance into Bai Shichang's chest before being abruptly stopped, and Bai Shichang was put on a stretcher and taken away.

"I won't lose!"

Hua Zihang pointed his blood-stained sword at the Fourteen Directions and roared at Li Ye, "I will definitely avenge the humiliation of last time!"

Li Ye tilted his head slightly and smiled at Yang Jie beside him, saying, "You know what, this spirit is not bad. He's a bit arrogant, but a young man who isn't arrogant isn't really a proper young man."

For a family that isn't quite in the martial arts circle, but rather a family with decent conditions, to rely on their own talent to pass through the second stage and reach the Sixth Dragon Gate is truly remarkable.

However, such people are often cultivated by large corporations from an early age, which makes talent increasingly rare.

After the competition, Yunlu Middle School immediately conceded defeat because they had to deal with two cultivators who had broken through to the next level, and no one wanted to waste their time.

However, many schools have already begun to have objections to martial arts training.

What else is there to fight?
If they want to be number one, they might as well just give them the first place.

Fu Chuxue seems to have been at the school since her first year of high school, and Li Ye is also a native of Ningjiang. No matter how strong they are, they still follow the rules.

This martial arts school doesn't follow any rules at all.

But Principal Zhao didn't care. All he wanted was to be number one in the city. Anyway, it was just this year's class. He could just hire a local student after the next class graduated.

However, the group's targets are such that if he doesn't get first place in a third-tier city like this, he will be punished.

In the quarterfinals, Yang Jie gradually struggled, unable to defeat any of the players he faced.

No one will admit defeat outright anymore, at least not for Fu Chuxue; she still needs to fight to win.

But when it came to Li Ye, he didn't even bother to fight; he simply admitted defeat.

With the semifinals decided, the morning's martial arts competition ended. Everyone had lunch together at the stadium before the afternoon's competition to resume with the semifinals.

At 2 PM, the competition officially began. Wuyu Middle School swept through the competition, defeating the schools that had only managed to advance to the final four and securing their place.

On the other side, No. 14 Middle School faced off against Hefu Middle School.

The school's top student ranks third in the city, but the school's overall strength is not good. It's a bit like No. 14 Middle School before Li Ye's rise to prominence, relying on just one person to carry the team.

Lei Xiangyu from Hefu No.1 Middle School ranks third in the city. He has reached the Po Jun Pass and the rare Ding Hun Pass, and is at the Six Dragon Gate realm. He has a strong will and is very difficult to deal with as a martial artist.

However, he had been defeated by Hua Zihang, who was more skilled, in previous martial arts competitions, which is why he ranked third. He came from an ordinary family and rejected various offers from companies and martial arts schools. He only recognized his school, and was a talent that Hefu County Middle School had painstakingly nurtured.

With such talent, he should have a better future if he pursued a targeted contract, but he just doesn't, which is puzzling.

After Yang Jie's defeat, it was Li Ye's turn to take the stage, where he would face Lei Xiangyu.

"Please advise!"

The boy had a resolute face, held a long spear, and struck a pose after speaking.

"Fix the soul."

Li Ye was somewhat surprised, though he did know why Lei Xiangyu didn't accept invitations from those large corporations.

It is extremely rare for someone to embark on the path of "Soul-Calming Pass" during high school.

Such a person would be discovered by the state immediately, likely because they have signed some kind of secret, targeted contract, either by a higher-level department or the military.

"Make your move," Li Ye said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the spear swept across, and when it reached Li Ye, it changed its move and went straight for his chest.

Snapped.
Li Ye blocked the imposing spear tip with a single finger, glanced to the side, and nodded, saying, "Not bad, not bad momentum."

The change of tactics just now should have been aimed directly at the throat, but the opponent changed tactics on the spur of the moment but also intentionally controlled them, and was still able to unleash momentum under the control of power.

He combined the martial arts techniques from Po Jun Guan and Ding Hun Guan and used them quite well.

With this kind of aptitude, even if he switched to Foundation Building Technique before the college entrance exam, he could still break through to the seventh level and get into a top university. But judging from his willpower, he probably didn't think about that aspect and was planning to take the direct route to breaking through.

Lei Xiangyu was stunned for a moment when he saw his serious attack being easily blocked. Unwilling to accept defeat, he suddenly leaped up and thrust the tip of his spear straight down, bringing with it a spiraling energy, aiming for Li Ye's chest as well.

Then he flicked the spear tip away, and the recoil caused Lei Xiangyu to stagger, moving to the side along with the spear.

After walking several steps, he pursed his lips, a serious look appearing in his eyes, and apologized to Li Ye, "I admit defeat. The gap is too big. You are not from the Four Dragons Sect."

"Very sharp."

Li Ye chuckled and said, "But shouldn't we continue to try and see where the difference lies?"

"A martial artist does not contend for a moment. My ambition is not to fight. I am no match for you in terms of cultivation, and I have nothing to be ashamed of."

Lei Xiangyu is very insightful.

This made Li Ye even more certain that it was most likely from the military.

Those people wouldn't be affected by their cultivation level, because they had weapons in addition to martial arts!

If bullets can't penetrate, use armor-piercing rounds. If armor-piercing rounds still can't penetrate, use grenades!

"This guy's tough."

One of the two spectators from Wuyu Middle School, seeing Li Ye easily block the spear, said, "The martial arts of the Vajra Pass are quite good. I heard that the two from No. 14 Middle School are both following the Three Passes route, and they seem to be quite difficult to deal with."

"That Fu Chuxue is a real pain."

Another person said, "The daughter of Fu Yan, a famous martial artist in Jianghuai Province, is from the Eight Dragons Sect. If it really came down to a fight, we might not be able to win. As for the Four Dragons Sect, their strength is only relative. They may be tough on others, but not on me."

"Yes, it's just a competition anyway. Winning two games is enough. At most, encountering Fu Chuxue might be a bit of an accident, but the rest doesn't matter."

The man laughed and said, "Let's finish this quickly. This kind of martial arts competition in a small city is no fun. I'm going to make some extra money and go back."

"Checked it out."

At the same time, as the match began, Yao Ledan, who had been fiddling with her phone taking pictures of Wu Yu, said, whether with relief or despair, "..."

"The guys from the neighboring Yuzhang Province are all in the top 30 in their province, one is at number 21 and the other at number 18. They are geniuses among geniuses and masters among masters. They're doomed now."

Top 30 in the province
Hua Zihang is ranked over 100th, but Ningjiang City is not a big city, and most students are at this level. Those students from big cities, those from provincial or deputy provincial levels, are the truly outstanding ones.

Of their group, only Fu Chuxue can hold out, and even then, victory is not guaranteed; the others are even less likely to succeed.

Moreover, it's obvious that they're targeting their rhythm.

"Yang Jie, admit defeat. Li Ye, I hope you admit defeat too. We can't fight like this, or you'll end up in the hospital."

Gu Yang said sternly, "Martial arts competitions are important, but as martial artists, your personal future and growth are more important. There's no need to lose here."

"Alright, I'm first."

Li Ye didn't bother listening to Gu Yang, chuckled, and went straight into the arena. Before Gu Yang could decide the order, he was the first to step onto the stage.

"let me."

Upon seeing this, Hua Zihang was about to step forward excitedly, but was immediately stopped by someone.

"Yin Lie, you go ahead."

Teacher Qu said, "You are the most effective at dealing with this kind of wide-ranging attacks."

"Fine, but I don't care how badly you teach them a lesson."

Yin Lie grinned maliciously and suddenly charged forward. As he charged, his ferocity became even more pronounced, and he instantly closed in on Li Ye, staring at him menacingly.

"Don't give up yet! I haven't even made a single move in this match, that's not good. You'd better give me some fun!"

"Ring ring ring——"

As he was speaking, Li Ye's phone rang. He took out his phone, glanced at it, and his expression changed. He completely ignored the man's advances and answered the call.

"Grandpa Wang, I am Li Ye."

Then, his expression grew even more somber. "Yes, okay, I understand."

"Answer the phone? Do you think you're playing house, that you can just answer the phone and leave? I think you've lost your mind!"

Yin Lie laughed loudly and was about to slap the phone in Li Ye's hand.

The match hasn't started yet, but pre-match provocation is still acceptable. Principal Zhao's intention is to get revenge on No. 14 Middle School. He won't feel comfortable taking the money unless he beats up one or two people.

When the hand slammed over, Li Ye glanced at it impatiently.

"You're noisy."

boom!
The person in front of him charged back at an even faster speed, crashing directly into the seat and creating a large dent. He fell into the dent and passed out.

The sudden turn of events completely froze Teacher Qu, who was still smiling. The people around her didn't even react and remained watching the show with an air of smug satisfaction.

Only Hua Zihang felt that this scene looked strangely familiar.
Li Ye didn't even look over there, but simply spoke into his phone:
"Yes, I'll be there right away. Don't worry, I guarantee not a single demon will be able to get in!"
