248: The National University Martial Arts Competition begins!

Chapter 248: The National University Student Martial Arts Tournament! Begins!

It was actually quite easy to find.

Under the Mental Energy radiation comparable to a Martial Venerable, the aura of everyone on the entire platform was clear to Su Bai.

Ordinary Martial Artists had blood Qi like a ball of fire, Peak Martial Venerable powerhouses were like a furnace, and the black-haired, broad-forehead old man Su Bai was looking at… was a fiercely burning sun, constantly radiating light and heat in all directions!

This was the first enemy Su Bai had seen whose blood Qi was stronger than his own, after reaching Perfection in Indestructible Golden Body Second Stage!

Peak Martial Venerable!

“If I were to face him, what are my chances of winning?”

Su Bai calculated in his mind.

The result he came up with was…

At most, only thirty percent, and that would have to be within the one minute of Martial God State, where I ensure I completely kill him.

Otherwise, once the time passes, it would be hard to say.

“However…”

“If I immediately Breakthrough to Martial Ancestor, condensing Qi into a core, and establish a Grandmaster’s stance!”

Su Bai thought calmly.

And then enter Martial God State.

This Peak Martial Venerable would probably be beaten to death by me in less than a second.

On the way here, Su Bai was still a bit unconfident about Peak Martial Venerables, but now seeing one in person, with a battle power comparison…

He also unexpectedly gained the power of the Platinum Dharma Idol.

So his confidence returned.

With strong power as his backing, Su Bai paid even less attention to the Jidao Martial Arts Hall.

He sat quietly in his chair.

The Martial Artists on the entire platform were all rubbing their fists, igniting their fighting spirit, cultivating their Battle Intent, preparing to welcome the upcoming Martial Arts Tournament.

What they sought was to contend with powerhouses in the upcoming Martial Arts Tournament, to temper their Martial Dao, to enhance their foundation and horizons, and to Breakthrough to a higher and stronger level.

But Su Bai was different.

Su Bai was just quietly waiting.

Waiting for those annoying bugs who liked to jump around in front of him!

And then… crush them all.

Su Bai thought with calm eyes.

“Excuse me.”

A man wearing a down jacket, looking like a polar bear, with a red nose, walked up to Su Bai with a camera on his back, carefully reminding him.

Su Bai stood up readily and moved aside.

“Thank you, thank you…”

The man carrying the camera repeatedly thanked him, exhaling a large plume of white mist.

The mountain peak platform was full of Martial Dao powerhouses, each with abundant blood Qi and overwhelming presence.

An ordinary person like him, mixed among them, felt like he had strayed into a primeval forest surrounded by fierce beasts, taking every step with trepidation.

Fortunately, Su Bai, though fierce-looking, was quite polite, even standing aside and chatting with him.

“Is it live-streamed the entire time?”

“Yes, the equipment is almost installed, and the tournament is expected to officially begin soon.”

At this point, the man showed some regret on his face and said to Su Bai.

“We came up too late. Just now at the foot of the mountain, we could still see a wonder appearing here, with clouds forming a whale. It was spectacular!”

“Sigh, it’s a pity we rushed but still didn’t make it. After coming up, there was nothing left.”

Only a few shots taken with his phone.

Saying that, he proactively pulled out his phone to show Su Bai.

In the phone screen, from the perspective of the mountain base, clouds formed waves, and a hundred whales cried out.

The scene was extremely shocking and magnificent.

Su Bai didn’t say anything, glancing at the mountain peak platform.

Since he came up, people had been arriving continuously, including the Senior Students from Seventh University he had left behind.

Now the number of people gathered on the platform was more than double what it was before.

“So many people, can it be finished in one day?”

Su Bai said casually.

The man finished installing the camera and replied, “It definitely can’t be finished in one day; it will probably take two or three days.”

“But there’s everything on the mountaintop, and you all have good physiques, so there’s no need to worry.”

“At worst, you can go down the mountain to rest; it’s quick to go up and down anyway.”

“It’s just hard on us…”

Indeed, the mountain peak platform had various facilities around the competition square.

Canteens, supermarkets, restrooms, and even accommodation.

Even if it was a bit worse than down the mountain, it wasn’t by much.

It could completely meet the living conditions of ordinary people.

While chatting casually, he suddenly heard a powerful voice from the front.

“Everyone, please be quiet.”

The mountain wind howled on the peak, and a loud voice would immediately be scattered by the wind.

However, this voice penetrated the wind like iron, clearly reaching everyone on the large platform square, showing remarkable Martial Dao strength.

After the voice sounded, the platform immediately became quiet.

Everyone stood up and slowly gathered towards the Martial Dao square.

Su Bai narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the speaker!

It was precisely the Peak Martial Venerable powerhouse from the Martial Arts Association headquarters he had noticed earlier!

“I, Jiang He, am honored to be the general person in charge of this National University Student Martial Arts Tournament, representing Martial God Yellow Springs, to preside over this tournament…” The old man said some polite words, and then announced, “Next, I declare the National University Student Martial Arts Tournament officially open.”

Afterward, he handed over the speaking rights to the woman in a blue cheongsam beside him.

The woman was also a Martial Ancestor. Taking over, she said loudly, “All participants in this tournament, please line up to draw lots in order, and then the martial arts competition can begin!”

The crowd on the platform stirred.

Everyone from Seven Sages University was arranged together, and Su Bai followed in the team.

A total of six to seven hundred people participated in this Martial Arts Tournament.

For universities like Seven Sages University, each university could have about ten participant slots, but ordinary provincial Martial Arts Universities had fewer slots, at most only two or three.

The martial arts halls were even stricter.

Except for top martial arts halls like Transcendent and Jidao, ordinary martial arts halls only had one participant slot, or two if they were better.

Naturally, they sent their most outstanding Disciples.

Martial arts hall Disciples and university Disciples were clearly distinct and could be recognized at a glance.

Martial arts hall Disciples were generally older.

Su Bai even saw several people who had drawn their lots and gone down, with dark skin and a rough appearance, looking like middle-aged men in their forties.

This was also a point that the Martial Arts Tournament had always been criticized for.

The martial arts halls had too much of an advantage.

Even those in their late twenties could participate.

Martial Artist students generally graduated after twenty-four, and in terms of Martial Dao cultivation time, they suffered a considerable disadvantage.

But there were exceptions.

Su Bai heard the Senior Students from the Sixth Major University, who were ahead of him in line, whispering.

“How come that participant from Sea Dragon Martial Arts Hall looks so much like an upperclassman from a few generations ago at our school?!”

“What do you mean ‘looks like’? He is! Wang Xin joined Sea Dragon Martial Arts Hall as soon as he graduated, didn’t you know?!”

“Damn, then if we run into him later, won’t it be fellow Disciples fighting each other?”

“You’re thinking too much. Now, the Disciples of Sea Dragon Martial Arts Hall are his fellow Disciples! Us? We can only be considered classmates!”

Su Bai was silent.

Finally, it was Su Bai’s turn to draw lots.

An electronic machine was used for drawing lots. By pressing a red button, the screen would start scrolling through the lot numbers.

Su Bai drew lot number “0135”.

Seeing this number, which was quite similar to Base 1359, Su Bai was quite satisfied.
