High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

In the following days, Chen Shi had no further contact with the Long family, focusing solely on cultivation and the gathering of heroes.

A total of 226 teams participated in the preliminary rounds, but only 64 teams were able to make it into the knockout stage.

This year's competition seems to be more intense than before. In the past, strong teams could usually get enough points by playing seven or eight qualifiers, but this year they have to win at least 12 qualifiers to advance, and they can't afford to lose, because losing will result in a point deduction.

Xie Zhixian worked incredibly hard to earn money, playing 19 games in 7 days and winning 475 million in prize money alone!

Chen Shi didn't contribute anything, spending most of his time on the bench, and he didn't even participate in the later rounds. There was no need for him to play; Xie Zhixian alone could defeat all the enemies.

Her strength was too great, and her sword was too fast, making Chen Shi feel that there were always people more powerful than him, and that there was always something beyond his reach. He even thought that he might be able to take the title of "Lying God".

The knockout stage consists of 7 games.

If Xie Zhixian can win four or six consecutive games in a row, he will be able to obtain the title of God of War.

However, the intensity of the knockout stage is quite different from that of the qualifiers. While everyone is looking forward to it, there are also some concerns.

Xie Zhixian himself was not very relaxed either, his only fear being a war of attrition.

All humanoid nuclear bombs are afraid of this; they all make an extremely explosive entrance, but lack staying power.

Later, some teams will definitely target Xie Zhixian to wear her down. Once she falls, the Linshan team will be in danger. After all, among these three people, there isn't a single second-year high school student, and the other is a fake first-year high school student, so the lineup is a bit abstract.

However, they have many supporters.

The people of Linshan City were very excited. Chen Shi and Zhang Xuexin, whom they had watched grow up, once again bore the name of Linshan and stepped onto the battlefield called the Gathering of Heroes, with a chance to win the championship.

The League of Heroes has a long history, but no team has ever represented Linshan before!

Therefore, for Linshan City, watching the Linshan team's matches is no different from watching the Spring Festival Gala. Even though they know the battle will end quickly, they will still stay in front of the TV to watch the match that will last less than three minutes.

Regardless of whether they win or lose in the end, everyone is happy.

This city is like a kind parent; it doesn't ask much of you, and it's satisfied as long as you're happy and healthy.

This also brought an unprecedented shock to Xie Zhixian, who, as one of the strongest senior high school students of her generation, had never had so many pure supporters.

Many people are cheering for Xie Zhixian.

Strangely, Xuexin noticed that she was hesitant to look at the comments section, and after much questioning, she shyly revealed the truth.

She wanted everything to stay the way it was when she last opened the comments section and everyone was cheering her on, so she didn't dare to look at it again, afraid that things would change or that someone would start cursing.

She's too sensitive to handle it.

Zhang Xuexin told her to have courage and not to bury her head in the sand.

But she didn't, she didn't want to, she just wouldn't look, she was just burying her head in the sand, no matter what people were saying now, she would just pretend that everyone was still cheering her on!

Getting her to open the comments section is harder than getting her to play a do-or-die game!

Are people's opinions really that important?

Chen Shi said that he would get used to it. It's like this at the beginning. People's casual comments can make you feel defensive, but you'll develop immunity after hearing them a lot.

Everything takes time to adapt to.

Time will never stop.

The seven-day qualifying rounds have come to a complete end.

The schedule is tight; the knockout stage starts in three days.

The list of 64 teams was released the following day.

The Linshan team is among them, but they are not the championship seed that everyone is talking about. Professionals say that their strengths are too great, but their weaknesses are also too small. Everything depends on Xie Zhixian's performance, which is not stable enough.

I never expected this.

Xie Zhixian broke down after seeing this sentence.

Chen Shi, Zhang Xuexin, and Li Changxing were all stunned, squatting in the corner and looking at Xie Zhixian's angry expression. They thought to themselves, "Wasn't he praising you? Aren't we the three of us the ones being scolded?"

Xie Zhixian frowned and said, "They say I'm unstable!"

Am I unstable?

"I think I'm very stable!"

Chen Shi scratched the back of his head in confusion, wondering if he was really that sensitive.

Li Changxing said that this was the first time he had seen his sister like this; it was strange, very strange, but it also showed that she really wanted to win.

Next, let's see who the championship seeds are.

There are six in total.

Ruoshui Team.

White-Clad Team.

Chen Shi was also a little surprised when he saw this. Wasn't Yong Ruoshui the person in white?

Only then did he realize that Yong Ruoshui was not Baiyi's eldest disciple. There was a more powerful senior sister above her, named Yao Jingtian, who was a heroic woman whose internal energy was created by observing the process of life's birth.

Theoretically, this is a natural phenomenon, but it cannot consume internal energy pearls. However, it can consume divine-level internal energy pearls, but unfortunately, those only appear at university auctions, and each one is extremely expensive, since those who need these pearls are all possessors of divine-level internal energy.

Yao Jingtian is also eighteen years old this year, and she is a comment enthusiast. Every day, she posts on her personal account that she is really looking forward to her university journey. She will go to the Women's Academy and cultivate with the sweet and soft girls, which makes people's scalps tingle.

Ruoshui team is the sixth seed to win the championship because of Wang Xueyou, a key player in the team.

The white-clad team is number five.

The fourth seed for the championship is the Dongzhou team, whose captain is Huangfu Conglong, a prodigy from a small aristocratic family, whose strength is unfathomable.

The third seed for the championship is the Xitian team, whose captain is Wu Dongxi, the third disciple of the Xitian Sect Master. His name is very abstract, just Dongxi. Later, when people looked up his background information, they found out that his earliest name was even more astonishing, which was Gou Dongxi (Dog Thing).

He came from a poor family in the Loess Desert of the Western Frontier, a world completely different from the inland. Its land resources were even more barren than those of the Northern Continent. If it weren't for the fact that one could make money through war, it would definitely be poorer than the Northern Continent.

Furthermore, because demonic puppets often appear in the Western Region, making it very dangerous, the lives of the people there are not stable. A metaphysical belief called "a humble name is good for childbearing" is popular, hence this abstract name. However, after being noticed by the Master of the Western Heaven Gate, he was unwilling to change it.

Interestingly, Wu Dongxi's team consisted entirely of disciples from the Xitianmen military compound. Only one of the second-year high school students was relatively strong, while the other two first-year high school students were only at the level of the 1.5th tier, far inferior to Chen Shi and Xue Xin. This was because their parents had received special merit awards on the front lines two years prior, which allowed them to join Wu Dongxi's team.

Wu Dongxi's strength can be described in one word—monster.

The top two seeds for the championship both come from the Zhongzhou Long family, although they have now dropped their surnames.

Number Two, Lion Evil Team, Captain Lion Evil.

Number One, Lion Soul Team, Captain Lion Soul.

At this point, the people of Linshan City offered their opinions.

"The team name for the number one seed should actually be Lionsman."

"It should now be called Linshan!"

"In times without heroes, even a scoundrel can rise to fame!"

Unfortunately, Xie Zhixian saw these words and immediately blushed, feeling shy.

This statement also angered Dragon Lion Soul and Dragon Lion Evil.

They have declared: "If that traitor dares to come before us, we will bring her martial arts to an end!"
