High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

Chapter 97 Stop wasting time, all of you come at me at once!

Thanks to the stacking effect of the [Imagery Synesthesia] stat, the efficiency of imagery cultivation is improved, and the progress of each round of meditation cultivation during the Transcendence stage can be increased by 3%.

There's not much change in practicing boxing, since the "Strength to Lift a Cauldron" attribute is purely a numerical accumulation and doesn't offer much help in cultivation.

However, Qin He returned to school early and was able to practice boxing for two rounds after returning to school. In addition, his evening practice greatly improved his Xingyi Paoquan (a style of Chinese martial arts).

I estimate that after another half a day of practice, Xingyi Cannon Fist will be able to break through to mastery.

However, that's a matter for later. Right now, it's already dark, and what he needs to do is rest well, conserve his energy, and prepare for tomorrow's practical assessment.

With this thought in mind, Qin He tidied up a bit, left the martial arts classroom, and returned to his dormitory to rest.

The following morning, Qin He arrived at the school gymnasium on time.

The No. 1 Middle School Gymnasium.

This is the practical assessment point for the seven-school joint examination, which is conducted through a challenge-style test.

"You're Qin He from Class 1, Grade 11?"

As soon as Qin He stepped into the stadium, several young figures came up to him, scrutinizing him with different expressions.

"What's up?"

Qin He remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, wanting to know their purpose.

"Don't get me wrong, we're not here to cause trouble."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhou Xunyu, a senior in high school. I didn't expect our school to have such a talent as you. I hope we can have a friendly competition sometime."

Standing in the middle of the crowd, a burly man with a long black spear on his back laughed and looked at Qin He with great curiosity.

These are the top students from the senior class of No. 1 High School, and also the top 10 students from No. 1 High School in this joint examination.

The senior class was in an uproar after learning about Qinhe's results last night. They all rushed over early this morning, eager to catch a glimpse of Qinhe's achievements.

"Qin He, Grade 11, nice to meet you."

Seeing that they weren't there to cause trouble, Qin He's expression softened slightly.

If they really wanted to cause trouble, Qin He wouldn't be afraid, after all, his strength was undeniable.

However, these top players were still quite clear-headed, unlike Li Zesheng, who was mentally challenged. They all wore smiles and maintained a superficial harmony.

"Xia Zhan from the Senior Three Intensive Class, please give me your guidance."

"Hey Wu Siduo, let's add each other on Xingxin and keep in touch."

"Me too! Let's add each other as friends."

The high school students were very enthusiastic and eagerly added each other as friends.

Qin He couldn't add everyone, so he simply created a group chat and added several people to it.

"This is truly rare. In the past, you two would have fought to the death when you met, but I didn't expect you to still have some cohesion at this crucial moment."

Lu Tiankuo arrived and immediately started joking with everyone.

Unlike the first year, the competition among the senior year contestants is relatively fierce because the gap between them is not as large, and they are always at odds when they meet.

Unexpectedly, they were able to get along peacefully in front of Qin He.

But that's understandable. Compared to a monster who surpassed them after only two months of martial arts training, their little competition became insignificant.

"I have only one request for the practical assessment later: give it your all and don't let the other schools look down on you."

Lu Tiankuo spoke in a deep voice, giving orders to everyone.

Qin He and his men nodded in agreement, their faces brimming with fighting spirit.

For the next while, everyone waited silently, the teachers maintained order, and the students entered the gymnasium one after another.

The students were all there to watch the game.

It was a rare occasion for all seven of the top players from Wugao High School to gather together. Not only were there students from No. 1 Middle School present, but some students from other schools also came over.

Within a short time, teams from other universities arrived one after another.

Principals from various schools led their top-performing students to Jinghu No.1 Middle School.

When teams from other universities arrived, they would subconsciously sized up the contestants from No. 1 Middle School.

Qin He, in particular, attracted the most attention from school principals and top-performing players.

There was no other way; Qinhe's situation was too unique.

Despite being just a freshman in high school, he achieved such an astonishing score.

Just last night, Qin He's name had already spread throughout all the martial arts high schools, and many students from other schools had also remembered his name.

Qin He remained calm and unaffected by the situation.

He had only one thought in his mind: how to win the competition beautifully and amaze the seeded players from various schools.

If one or two strong individuals from other universities suddenly emerge and defeat Zhou Xunyu and the others, and I, carrying the hopes of the entire school, ultimately win the final victory, that would be wonderful...

Because the waiting time was so boring, Qin He couldn't help but let his mind wander.

After waiting for 9 a.m., all the universities gathered together, and Lu Tiankuo announced the rules for the practical assessment.

"This practical assessment will be conducted in the form of a free-for-all battle in a ring, divided into two rounds of combat."

"The first round of battles consisted of 10 arenas. Students from each school took to different arenas, and each arena had 7 people fighting in a free-for-all. The winners of each arena were the top 10."

"The second round is a free-for-all, with the top 10 competing against each other, and the last one standing is the winner."

'

"We are honored to have Ms. Hing Chao-ying, Director of the Kiang Wu Education Department, serve as the chief judge for this practical assessment."

'

The seven-school joint exam sounds impressive, but in reality it's just a monthly exam, not a real large-scale competition.

It's virtually impossible to replicate the regular tournament format with one-on-one matches; all the conditions simply don't allow it.

Therefore, Lu Tiankuo decided to have a chaotic free-for-all, with each round of the duel being a multi-player free-for-all.

This also aligns better with the name of practical assessment.

After all, in a real battle, the enemy won't give you a one-on-one opportunity.

How to survive in a chaotic battle with multiple opponents, how to gain the trust of other opponents, how to unite more martial artists, or how to fight alone.

These are things that martial artists should experience, and they can also better reveal a student's true character.

After the rules were announced, each school team discussed their strategies and how to allocate the competition area.

The game at No. 1 Middle School is simpler; they just play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner, and the winner gets to choose first.

The results came out quickly.

Qin He was assigned to the eighth arena.

After Lu Tiankuo handed over the list of contestants from No. 1 Middle School to Xing Zhaoying, Qin He, holding a standard longsword, was the first to step onto the eighth arena.

While the joint entrance exam for the seven schools may seem irregular, riddled with loopholes in its rules, they are also quite professional in certain aspects.

For example, participants are not allowed to bring their own weapons and can only use standard weapons of the same specifications.

For example, in practical assessments, attacks on vital areas such as the heart and genitals are not allowed. If the referee believes that there may be a risk of injury or death, he will intervene immediately to stop it.

"Stop wasting time, everyone from the eighth arena, come at me all at once, let's finish this quickly."

On the eighth arena, Qin He's gaze swept over the contestants from various schools, his expression calm and relaxed, as if he were casually discussing what to eat for the afternoon.

Some contestants turned pale upon seeing this.

Too embarrassing!

They were openly taunting them, seemingly confident of victory, and completely disregarding them.

The martial artist was full of fighting spirit, and coupled with the arrogance of the seeded player, he could not tolerate such provocation.

The contestants from various schools, assigned to the eighth arena, walked towards the arena with indignant expressions.

The first round of the arena battle has officially begun.
