15: A sincere petition

With the armor on, Liu Weiren's entire demeanor dramatically shifted, becoming as formidable as a city wall.

Now, the biting wind striking him became utterly ineffective.

He pushed off with his feet and charged towards Fu Mingyu, each of his heavy steps causing the alloy arena beneath him to tremble slightly!

The wind no longer impeded his movements.

He clenched his right hand into a fist, delivering a simple straight punch directly at Fu Mingyu's chest.

Fu Mingyu, using the wind, tried to evade the attack.

However, Liu Weiren displayed his rich combat experience, changing his fist to a palm, and grabbed Fu Mingyu's shoulder.

"Junior, watch out!"

Liu Weiren suddenly exerted force with his arm, pulling hard, and swung Fu Mingyu, slamming him towards the ground nearby.

Fu Mingyu was shocked; he hadn't expected this guy to react so quickly.

The moment he was about to hit the ground, he swiftly adjusted his posture, propped one hand on the ground, and used the leverage to kick Liu Weiren's arm that was holding him.

In a dangerous moment, he finally broke free from his opponent's control.

However, to his surprise, more rocks grew from Liu Weiren's arm, coiling around his extended left leg!

Fu Mingyu still couldn't escape this control; his left leg was locked by the rocks, unable to move.

"How about it? Junior, do you surrender?"

Liu Weiren connected one of his arms to Fu Mingyu with rocks, just holding him there.

At this moment, Fu Mingyu was hanging upside down, head towards the ground, like a dead dog.

No matter how much force he exerted, he couldn't break free from the opponent's control.

"Quick, put me down! For now, consider you the winner. Give me one month! I will challenge you again!"

Although he conceded verbally, he was still unconvinced, feeling that he had spent too little time Cultivating Martial Skills and lacked sufficient combat experience, which led to this crushing defeat.

"Alright, in one month, I'll be waiting for you here."

Liu Weiren smiled, put him down, and turned to leave.

"Damn it, that guy cheated! He actually learned a lot of earth-element skills!" Fu Mingyu looked at Zhao Yuanyue and Tang Wu, his face full of indignation.

Zhao Yuanyue snorted coldly: "Useless! Couldn't you have dodged? His skill was clearly not fast, and with the wind, how could you have fallen for it so easily!"

"Get out of here, what do you know? His speed isn't slow; he's inherently faster than me. Even with the wind, I'm only on par with him. Do you think it's that easy to dodge?"

Tang Wu looked at the two, chuckling: "If you lost, you lost. Are you afraid of losing? He's a sophomore after all, and I've checked his information. Liu Weiren, First Rank high-stage, among nearly 10,000 sophomores at Jinling Martial Arts University, he's at least in the top 100. It's not shameful for you to lose."

"His movement techniques and Martial Skills are very proficient. He only used at most 50% of his strength just now, just playing with you. It will be difficult for you to defeat him in a month!"

Fu Mingyu didn't argue this time, just waved his hand: "Mind your own business? I'm going back to Cultivate. Don't disturb me unless it's important!"

"This guy! Still so reckless! Someone like him shouldn't have come to Jinling. He should go to Kyoto Martial Arts University to temper his impetuous nature!" Zhao Yuanyue frowned.

Tang Wu looked at the departing Fu Mingyu and smiled.

In the stands, Chen Qing finished watching the match and also got up to leave.

He still had to find his dormitory building to drop off his luggage, and then go to the freshman registration office to register.

After that, he had to Cultivate quickly. There was actually a First Rank Martial Artist among the freshmen. Although he didn't know if this was an isolated case, the fact that there was one was enough to show that he was falling behind!

He had to hurry.

Dormitory area.

Chen Qing looked at the rows of buildings in front of him, lost in confusion. There were simply too many buildings in the dormitory area, including ordinary dormitory buildings and many rows of detached villas. From the official website, he knew he was assigned to Building 404. Was this a building number or a villa number?

Just as he was about to take out his phone to check, he suddenly saw someone walking over from not far away.

It was Fu Mingyu!

"New here?" Fu Mingyu wasn't one to let an awkward silence linger. Seeing Chen Qing standing still, he probably guessed that he couldn't find his dormitory.

"Yes, I just arrived today and I'm not very familiar with the place yet." Chen Qing nodded.

"Is it the detached villa area or the dormitory building area?"

"I'm not sure."

Fu Mingyu frowned, "No room number?"

"404."

Fu Mingyu scanned him with surprise: "Not simple at all."

"What's wrong?" Chen Qing asked, puzzled.

"This is a building number in the villa area. The entire school only has 1,000 villas, specifically for special individuals. The fact that you can live in the villa area means you've got something! Hey, are you from a prestigious Family or are you exceptionally talented?"

Fu Mingyu observed Chen Qing's attire and luggage, realizing that this guy didn't seem like a scion of a big Family.

So, he was exceptionally talented?

His eyes flickered: "Yesterday I heard that Jinling Martial Arts University recruited two S-Rank Ability Awakeners this year. One was recruited months ago, before the college entrance exam, and the other was just accepted yesterday."

Two? There's another one?

Chen Qing had nothing to hide about his ability Rank; this information would eventually come out. He asked:

"Who is the other one?"

It really was this guy in front of him!

"The other one is Li Cunxu, a Family scion from Kyoto. I don't know what got into him; he didn't go to Kyoto Martial Arts University and ran off to Jinling instead!" As he spoke, his expression wasn't good, seemingly not very fond of Li Cunxu.

"Forget him, let's go, I'll take you to your dorm."

Chen Qing nodded; having someone lead the way was good too.

"By the way, when did you advance?" Fu Mingyu asked as they walked.

"I haven't had a Breakthrough to Martial Artist yet."

Fu Mingyu was a little surprised: "Haven't had a Breakthrough yet? Was your Ability Awakening late, or are you pushing for the limit?"

Chen Qing felt helpless. It seemed that for those from prominent Families, not having a Breakthrough to Martial Artist before entering university was something worth being surprised about.

Fu Mingyu also felt he had asked the wrong question and chuckled awkwardly: "Hehe, my apologies. Since you can live in the villa area, I subconsciously assumed you had already had a Breakthrough."

Chen Qing smiled, not annoyed: "My Awakening was a bit late, and I haven't had a Breakthrough yet. Currently, I'm still trying to push the non-Martial Artist limit."

"Hey, for us, it really does take more time to push the limit. My Awakening was relatively early; I Awakened two years ago. To push for the A-Rank limit, I spent almost a year and a half, during which I probably burned through hundreds of millions of my Family's assets. My dad doesn't even want to bother with me anymore. For the rest of my university life, I'll probably have to rely on myself to Cultivate."

"Brother, although your Awakening might have been relatively late, I'll give you some sincere advice. Never be afraid to spend money. I'm now truly feeling the benefits of pushing the limit. After you had a Breakthrough to Martial Artist, I've only Cultivated for about a year, and that's without using too many resources!"

"So, I suggest you really hone yourself at this stage. You have an S-Rank ability, excellent talent. If possible, I even recommend you spend half a year to a year polishing your limit. It won't be too late to pursue the Realm later."

Fu Mingyu's words were sincere, like a Senior expert, walking ahead with his hands behind his back.

"By the way, is it convenient to disclose your current vitality level? I might be able to give you some advice." Fu Mingyu's eyes drifted as he asked.

Chen Qing smiled, finding this person interesting, and decided to tell the truth.

"0.97."

"H-how much? Don't joke around! Brother, if you don't want to say, you don't have to. This is everyone's secret; there's no need to force it. I just asked casually."

Fu Mingyu didn't believe it. 0.97 was already the theoretical limit for S-Rank. Even if you're S-Rank, how could you reach the limit so quickly in such a short time?

He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death!

Chen Qing nodded, "Hmm, I didn't lie to you. From now on, if you ask, I'll always tell the truth."

"I'm a very honest person!"
