Chapter 18

: Practical Competition, Absolute Genius

"genius!"

"Even disregarding his mental talent, he is definitely a martial arts genius."

"It probably won't be much of an obstacle for this kid to reach the pinnacle of his artistic conception in the future."

"If I weren't afraid of setting a bad precedent, I feel that even location shooting would be very possible."

In the martial arts instructor's private room,

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Haifeng looked at the scene on the screen in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

I had only seen a message on the surveillance camera that some students were skipping their lunch break and going to the classroom to practice extra. I just wanted to take a look to see what was going on.

I never expected to witness Li Xijun's continuous breakthroughs in cultivation.

First, his Qi and Blood levels improved, and then he learned a set of exquisite boxing techniques from who-knows-where.

It can actually be compared with the "Thirty-Six Forms of Zhenwu" and through this understanding, one can master the Zhenwu killing move "Heavenly Hammer" in one go.

Zhang Haifeng watched intently as the story unfolded.

When he saw Li Xijun again, he showed that...

After the breakthrough, he solidified the results and perfectly and steadily unleashed the Great Accomplishment Sky Hammer talent, becoming even more satisfied.

The Federation needs geniuses like this now. No matter how outrageous the talent is, as long as you are genius enough, it's fine as long as you don't believe in any cults.

As for fist techniques, there have been many fist techniques that have been reorganized and innovated from old martial arts since the early days of the Cataclysm.

"The Thirty-Six Forms of Zhenwu" is merely the mainstream form promoted by the official authorities.

Even now, many students from martial arts families and wealthy families don't really study the "Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts".

Instead, they first have someone measure their bone structure and physique, then practice the most suitable boxing and kicking techniques until they reach around 320 points.

This allows players to directly advance their training in spear and sword techniques, which share the same origin, thereby increasing their martial arts score.

"It's time for me to increase my investment."

After Zhang Haifeng opened his phone and accessed his teacher system, he used maximum privileges to directly apply for a scholarship of 10 yuan.

After thinking for a while, he found an old anonymous black card and deposited 10 yuan into it.

The 100,000 mentioned above was the teacher's help to an outstanding student, while this 100,000 was Zhang Haifeng's help to Li Xijun.

Given this student's reserved nature, he should understand the meaning perfectly well.

in the afternoon

Martial Arts Class

Zhang Haifeng, who was already quite impatient, walked into the classroom as soon as the bell rang.

After scanning the martial arts class, which was increasingly filled with the oppressive and competitive atmosphere of senior year, he first nodded in satisfaction, then finally straightened his face and said seriously:

"You have all performed quite well these days. Apart from a few students who are still absent-minded and always daydreaming, you have all made progress in your martial arts skills."

"However, you can't tell much just by improving your martial arts skills."

"I've seen students who had excellent grades in previous years, but couldn't perform even half of their potential in the exam."

"The martial arts exam in the college entrance examination ultimately depends on actual combat performance. The performance in actual combat is the most important standard for determining the martial arts score in the college entrance examination."

"Without further ado, I will use the AI ​​to send two people of similar strength to a team for a practical test."

After he finished speaking, the names of the students appeared randomly on the large screen at the front of the classroom. In the center of the martial arts classroom, a fighting arena resembling an octagon slowly rose. Zhang Haifeng stood in it, blew his whistle loudly, and waved to signal:

"In the first group, Xu Yanyan will face off against Qu Jingcheng."

The large screen at the front of the classroom displayed photos of the two people, their blood energy levels, and a red and blue "vs" logo in the middle, which made Li Xijun a little flustered when she saw it.

Soon, a man and a woman walked into the center of the arena.

Xu Yanyan is an ordinary girl with bangs, a round face, and is not tall.

Qu Jingcheng is indeed very handsome and tall, and there are rumors that he has cheated on several girls.

After exchanging fist salutes as a form of martial arts sparring, both sides assumed their fighting stances.

Xu Yanyan launched into action as usual, performing the "Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts." Her posture was very standard, and her boxing skills showed some promise.

However, Qu Jingcheng simply turned halfway to the side to avoid the punch, raised one arm to block it, and then suddenly slammed the other hand into the opponent's head.

Xu Yanyan quickly retreated to dodge, and was about to continue her attack according to the moves from the Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts when she suddenly felt a strong gust of wind and saw the already tall Qu Jingcheng throwing himself at her.

Faced with this sudden and powerful attack, and seeing the ruthless and merciless manner of the other party, she instinctively panicked, feeling somewhat flustered by this aura.

In that instant, Qu Jingcheng had already punched her in the abdomen. The sudden pain caused her to curl up and fall to the ground, letting out a painful cry.

The two exchanged blows in the blink of an eye, and the outcome was already clearly decided.

Zhang Haifeng watched from the sidelines, unconcerned. He simply waved for someone to carry Xu Yanyan to the infirmary, and then spoke:

"Before the location shooting, the battles between martial artists were this fast; victory or defeat, life or death, could be decided in an instant, in just one or two moves."

"Federal medical technology is so advanced now, losing an arm or a leg is nothing, so don't be afraid in actual combat; fear will only hasten your death!"

With Zhang Haifeng's constant encouragement, the combat training progressed rapidly.

The battles in the class were basically decided in a short period of time.

Li Xijun focused on Ye Liuyun's actual combat, but was somewhat disappointed.

Because it ended so quickly, the other party had just bowed when Ye Liuyun struck out with a seemingly ordinary palm strike. However, no matter how the other party tried to dodge, they couldn't avoid it and were directly hit in the throat. Their face turned purple and they were carried away.

till the end,

It's unclear whether it was truly an AI-generated allocation or if Zhang Haifeng intentionally made Li Xijun the last performer.

Almost everyone's eyes were on Li Xijun and Zhou Yibai in the final match.

When Li Xijun's image and Qi and Blood level appeared on the large screen at the front of the classroom, an uncontrollable gasp of surprise suddenly rang out in the class.

"What's going on? Is there some kind of bug in the smart device?"

"Holy crap, his Qi and Blood level is 6! I remember when school started, Brother Li's was 5.7, right?"

When someone exclaimed in surprise and pointed to the Qi and Blood level information in black regular script on the large screen in front of the classroom, almost the entire martial arts class became restless and excited.

"The blood and qi detector is definitely not broken; my blood and qi level is correct."

"Is it really 6.0? It's only been a little over a week since school started, and it's only increased by 0.3 HP levels?"

"It's relatively easy to increase your HP level before level 7..."

"Even the best improvement can't be this outrageous. Try improving me three times a week."

"Everyone says Brother Li is a genius whose talent was buried because he didn't have money, but no one expected that six bottles of Qi and Blood Potions would improve him so much!"

"Even my childhood friend from the elite class isn't this fast! It's incredible! Brother Li is just too fast!"

It's no wonder the students in the class were so surprised and discussing it so enthusiastically; after all, the speed of improvement was indeed too fast.

Many students in the class take Qi and Blood Tonics every day, and their three meals consist of nutritious meals containing mythical creature meat costing over 300 yuan. Some families even grit their teeth and enroll them in meditation classes.

However, compared to Li Xijun, their improvement speed was like a snail's pace.

Even Zhang Haifeng, who had already anticipated this, couldn't help but turn around and look at it several more times, thinking to himself, "Why don't I put another 20,000 yuan into that black card?"

Zhou Yibai, standing on the stage, was the only one who remained silent amidst the boiling atmosphere of the class discussion, his fists clenched tightly.
