New Student #1! A Prodigy Questioning His Life

Chapter 84 The First Freshman! A Prodigy Questioning His Life (3k)

The darkness and coldness trembled as Li Xijun awoke. The moment she awoke, she leaped to her feet and warily scanned her surroundings.

What comes into view is a sci-fi-inspired, silver-white space.

As far as the eye could see, the entire world was an endless expanse of silvery white, with only a nine-story tower in the center.

Jiali stands quietly in the center of the world.

The sense of realism, which was far superior to that of a virtual reality headset, made Li Xijun even more surprised.

It seems that the Federation and Great Xia still have quite a few good things hidden away.

The technology in this virtual pod is far ahead of that of virtual reality headsets that are like games.

If you don't get into a good university, many people will probably only learn about this advanced technology and training several years later, and it might take another ten years before it becomes available to most ordinary people.

Li Xijun did not rush to undergo the trial, but instead quietly experienced her body in the virtual space.

"Mental energy cannot be projected outwards like it can be used outdoors."

"The virtual realism has indeed increased, but it is not based on each individual's physical condition."

"This is based on a Transcendent Realm martial artist with a life level of 11."

"That is to say, everyone has the exact same constant physical condition."

Li Xijun had a sudden realization.

"It seems that this virtual space is only used to improve martial arts skills."

"The ranking in actual combat required in the performance contract I signed when I enrolled is not the same thing as this."

"Of course, being able to achieve this level of skill is extremely useful for the martial arts training of the vast majority of college students."

After a moment of reflection, having gained control of the virtual body, Li Xijun finally set off.

When he entered the first floor of the tower, a screen of light appeared before his eyes.

Nine-Layer Demon Tower Ranking:

1st Place: Su Nianyi (Level 1, Progress 99)

2nd Place: Qin Lingfeng (Level 1, Progress 94)

3rd Place: Fang Jiekong (Level 1, Progress 89)

988st Place: Li Xijun (1th Floor, Progress 0)

The rankings changed almost every second, especially the numbers for the top few, which kept jumping around. This piqued Li Xijun's interest, and he pushed open the first door of the tower.

As he entered it

Before us lay a place resembling the tunnel entrance to the ancient Roman Colosseum.

At the same time, a pleasant female voice rang in his ear:

"Welcome Li Xijun, student number 001, to the challenge. Please select the appropriate weapon and combat suit within 59 seconds and prepare to fight against the mythical creature."

Looking at the various weapons and combat uniforms hanging on the ancient-style wall in front of me.

Li Xijun chose to wear a suit of light black armor and carry a knife and a sword, then walked directly into the brightly lit exit ahead.

As the white light disappeared,

It's as if time and space have shifted.

Li Xijun arrived at a forest, where the environment was gloomy and eerie, filled with the sounds of insects chirping, birds singing, and wild beasts growling.

That melodious, clear female voice rang out again:

"Welcome to the first level of the Nine-Story Demon Tower. You will now face a series of attacks from 50 Dark Cat Demons, each level 10.0 to 10.5. Kill all the Dark Cat Demons within 10 minutes!"

"If you die midway, it is considered a failure. Failure to kill all the Dark Cat Demons within 10 minutes is also considered a failure."

As the words fell,

A huge, blood-red countdown appeared in front of Li Xijun:

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"start!"

The cold, female voice of the system uttered the last word, and the blood-red "0" seemed to freeze in the air, exuding an ominous aura.

"La—!"

Three dark, foul-smelling claw-like blades appeared simultaneously, aimed directly at his throat.

Heart, lower genitals.

But Li Xijun remained calm and unhurried, taking a step back to the left and then suddenly stepping forward.

The three attacks grazed past him almost instantly, tearing apart the massive tree behind him that would take two people to encircle! Wood chips flew everywhere, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut!

At that moment, Li Xijun could see that the three creatures, each the size of a cheetah and covered in glossy black fur, were silently landing in the spot where he had just been.

Their eyes gleamed with an eerie green light in the dim forest, like will-o'-the-wisps from hell, filled with a pure lust for slaughter. Their sharp fangs gleamed coldly in the dim light, and a low, teeth-grinding "gurgle" came from their throats.

Dark Cat Demon!

"Hmm, judging from this attack, those who scored below 360 in the martial arts exam for the first level of this nine-story demon tower are probably out of luck."

"Considering the college entrance examination system with its tiered cut-off scores this year, some of this year's freshmen must have been eliminated because they only focused on improving their Qi and Blood levels but lacked martial arts skills."

Li Xijun has come to understand the value of this virtual pod and the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

If it were a real-life trial and assessment in a mythological world, many people would probably die at the hands of these mythical creatures.

"However, for someone like me with a fourth-level martial arts skill, it's actually a bit too easy."

Seeing the cat demon land silently, with perfect coordination, and without pausing after its first attack missed, it pushed off the ground with its hind legs and transformed into three blurry black shadows, pouncing towards itself.

Li Xijun's longsword flashed in his left hand, transforming into three cold beams in mid-air, beheading all three dark cat demons.

At the same time, he flashed and deliberately rushed into the dark forest filled with dozens of cat demons.

The deadly dragon, carrying a chilling killing intent, leaves seven dark cat demons dead with each flash.

In a short moment,

He then slaughtered all 50 dark cat demons on the first floor.

"Li Xijun, congratulations on passing the test of the 1th floor of the Nine-Story Demon Tower and earning 1 credits." The clear and melodious female voice appeared again.

At the same time, a beam of white light once again filled the virtual space.

Time passed slowly, and the freshmen who went in early to try their luck all failed and were teleported out early.

As the virtual pod's hatch opened, the freshmen returned to the center of the auditorium.

I also saw the constantly changing rankings of the Nine-Story Demon Tower on the big screen.

The original first place Su Nianyi, second place Qin Lingfeng, third place Fang Jiekong, and the fourth place Jiang Qiyue who caught up all started to have a hard time after reaching the third level, obviously they began to encounter tough opponents.

When Jiang Qiyue reached level 89 on the third floor, her name suddenly went dark.

The next moment, her virtual pod slowly opened, and the girl, who was clearly exhausted, lost her previous energy.

But when she looked up at the names of the three people on the leaderboard, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, clearly feeling somewhat unwilling. Fortunately,

Not long after, Fang Jiekong also stopped at the third level, progress 93. His name went dark, and he walked out of the virtual pod, equally listless.

Su Nianyi and Qin Lingfeng, who had finally passed the third level, entered the fourth level with zero progress.

At the same time, the name went dark and the hatch opened, clearly indicating that they were out of the game.

Qin Lingfeng frowned, clearly feeling somewhat unwell.

Su Nianyi, a gifted individual with psychic powers, remained calm as she recalled the battle just now and walked to Jiang Qiyue's side.

This prompted the other freshmen to start discussing it.

"It looks like this fourth level is very difficult."

"So how should we calculate the reward? Should we both get it, or should we have another fight?"

"I think it was given to Su Nianyi. She was a little late, and she was clearly not mentally affected."

"Did you two die in there? Did it leave you so mentally exhausted that your brains went haywire?"

Someone, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up loudly:

"Don't forget, our strongest scorer from this year's class, the one who got a perfect score, is still in there."

And the next moment...

Sure enough, a name appeared quickly and dramatically from the bottom up in everyone's sight.

With Li Xijun becoming the ninth freshman to enter the third level, his name also appeared in the top ten, making him the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone wanted to know how long it would take this martial arts prodigy with perfect scores to complete the game.

Previously, Jiang Qiyue, Fang Jiekong, including Su Nianyi and Qin Lingfeng, were all struggling with the third level of progress.

But the next moment,

His rapid ascent to the rankings showed no signs of slowing down.

Level 3, Progress 1

Level 3, Progress 2

Level 3, Progress 3

With the numbers changing almost every blink of an eye,

In just over a minute,

The third level, which Jiang Qiyue, Fang Jiekong, Su Nianyi, and Qin Lingfeng had fought so hard to conquer, was easily breached!

1st Place: Li Xijun (4th Floor, Progress 0)

This caused the various discussions to suddenly fall silent.

Countless eyes in the stadium began to stare intently at the changes in the first-place score on the big screen.

but,

Li Xijun continued his rampage, relentlessly killing his way through the land, without ever stopping.

Level 4, Progress 11

Level 4, Progress 32

Level 4, Progress 43

"That's incredible!"

"Is this correct?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

Non-stop all the way!

"This person is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also terrifyingly strong in actual combat."

These were once the pride of heaven, admired by countless people in high schools across the country.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a connection with my classmates from high school who had average martial arts talent, and we shared the same feelings back then.

because,

Having just been taught a lesson by the incredibly dense array of mythical wolves from the Nine-Story Demon Tower,

They were acutely aware of just how difficult it was.

It's completely incomprehensible how Li Xijun managed to do that.

Jiang Qiyue's rosy lips opened wide without her realizing it.

Fang Jiekong kept touching his bald head, but still felt completely lost.

Seeing Li Xijun behave like this for the first time, Qin Lingfeng could no longer maintain his aloof demeanor and couldn't help but mutter to himself, doubting himself:

"On the fourth level, he had to face attacks from all sides by hundreds of silver-ringed spirit snakes simultaneously. How did he react and handle each attack with such precision?"

Having grown accustomed to someone's outrageous talent, Su Nianyi proudly curled her cherry lips into a smile.

"This kind of thing is not difficult for him at all."
