15: Turn defeat into victory

Lin Ye quickly retreated, a sharp pain coming from his right chest. The Serpent Body had just absorbed more than half of the opponent's Force Emission, otherwise he would have been defeated.

Bai Wenjie did not pursue, panting heavily. The rapid assault had severely depleted his stamina.

Lin Ye steeled himself and charged forward again, only being more careful of Bai Wenjie's attacks. If it was still Force Emission ~ Mountain Breaking Force, he would carefully choose a different part of his body to block.

Bai Wenjie had unleashed four consecutive Mountain Piercing Forces, panting like a bellows, but this kid in front of him still clung on like a piece of sticky candy.

Skills consume a lot of stamina and Star Power. Bai Wenjie did not have Muscle Master, so naturally he did not have Lin Ye's endurance.

Lin Ye seized the opportunity, unleashing a full-power Force Emission ~ Cannon Fist into Bai Wenjie's abdomen. Bai Wenjie used all his strength to circulate his force-nullifying technique, but it was a drop in the bucket. He was sent flying four meters away and could no longer get up.

Lin Ye looked at the unconscious Bai Wenjie, his tense body relaxing. Muscle Master was deactivated, and his body returned to normal.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he felt sore all over. Every Mountain Piercing Force from Bai Wenjie had caused severe damage to the hit areas, and this kid's Star Force could even injure internal organs, which was truly insidious. He was not a decent person.

After the referee robot declared Lin Ye the victor, the doctor quickly came onto the stage. A warm holy light shone on Lin Ye, and he felt much more comfortable. Bruised blood seeped out from the severely injured areas, slowly restoring his skin to its original fairness.

"Healers are still amazing," Lin Ye decided that his future team must include powerful healers, as the effect was too strong.

After stepping off the stage and a few minutes of healing, his body had recovered. Li Yaoyang ran over, wanting to help, but seeing Lin Ye perfectly fine, he began to brag about his magnificent performance on stage.

The audience was also buzzing. The match just now had exceeded their imagination, and Lin Ye's name spread among the Martial Artist freshmen.

In the conference room, Jiang Xiaoyu was surrounded by teachers, who started asking him about Lin Ye's detailed information. When Jiang Xiaoyu revealed the contract with his group, they all left with regret.

They actually knew that the chance of Lin Ye still being a free agent was slim. After all, with both Muscle Master and Jiang Xiaoyu's signature skills, Lin Ye had long become Jiang Xiaoyu's.

But what if? What if not? Inquiring and recruiting a super potential stock, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Qin Fang was feeling very uncomfortable inside. The more glorious Jiang Xiaoyu was, the more uncomfortable he felt, especially since his proud disciple had lost to Lin Ye, which made it even worse.

His daughter, Qin Ranran, seeing her father's defeat, was not bothered and instead congratulated Jiang Xiaoyu. This, this, this, his mentality exploded. Let it be destroyed, he was tired.

Suddenly, he wanted to give up. Let Jiang Xiaoyu and his daughter solve their own problems. He would not endure that anger anymore.

Lin Ye did not linger any longer. The resurrection matches would be held among the losers of the fifth round, and he had no interest in watching more.

Mainly, his body was very tired. He just wanted to go back to cultivate and then sleep.

Magic University ability users do not have dormitories. After all, most students still follow their teachers and are not on campus, so dormitories are basically provided by the teachers themselves, which is also the teachers' obligation.

Teachers, of course, were happy to do so. They did not take students for the small amount of subsidies, but to cultivate their own influence, so they were naturally willing to strengthen the relationship between themselves and their students.

After returning to Prosperity with Li Yaoyang, Prosperity was not close to Magic University, but with the company's special car, they could return in less than five minutes.

The next two days were rest days. Other academies had not finished their matches yet, and the schedule would only continue after they were done.

Lin Ye planned to spend these few days learning more about threatening opponents. Now he was considered the strongest of the Martial Artist Academy's 2350 batch, and he was also very interested in the strongest of Magic University's 2350 batch.

The grand competition offered rewards to the top ten of each academy, fifty thousand yuan, which was not much, but the rewards for the top ten of the entire school were extremely generous.

Lin Ye was eyeing the reward for the top student of the entire school: a Star Level ability seed.

The rewards for the other nine were miscellaneous and far inferior to the first place reward.

Among the seven abilities of Martial Artists, Lin Ye knew that Qi Sea and Unwavering Will were Star Level abilities with superior alternatives, and Intuition was an essential Star Level one.

If he became first, he would definitely choose the superior alternatives for Qi Sea and Unwavering Will, preferably Qi Sea. Unwavering Will belonged to mental defense, control-immunity type.

While Qi Sea would greatly increase Star Power quantity, recovery, etc.

Their superior alternatives should not have too much difference in effect, and Qi Sea was undoubtedly more suitable for most situations.

And Intuition was a very strange Star Level ability. Other abilities could be practiced more or less, but this one was completely un-trainable, allowing the user to turn misfortune into fortune through an ethereal seventh sense.

Logically speaking, such a miraculous ability should be used by many professions, as it is very versatile.

However, except for Martial Artists who needed to sense the mysterious Star Level Martial Artist skills and had to rely on Intuition, other professions did not rely on Intuition much.

Lin Ye did not plan to absorb this ability first. Star Level skills were too far from him, so there was no rush.

Over a few days of observation, Lin Ye also marveled at the sheer number of talented individuals in the world. So far, more than fifty third-tier ability users had appeared, with magic-type professions being more numerous, numbering over thirty.

Magic-type professions cultivate Star Power relatively faster in the early stages. Their physical bodies are weak, so logically they should be slower, but most magic-types absorb abilities that improve Star Power quantity, quality, and absorption efficiency in their first few abilities.

Therefore, even though Magic University's magic-type professions were only one-third of physical-type professions, they actually surpassed them in the third-tier.

Lin Ye felt that he should still be quite good among them, after all, Martial Artists have strong combat power, and he had just defeated a third-tier Martial Artist.

However, it was still unstable, but for now, he couldn't make a big breakthrough in a short time. Star Force could probably be leveled up to Great Accomplishment by the eighth day of the competition, which might be the only opportunity to increase combat power at the moment.

Lin Ye started training, striving to raise his Star Force to Great Accomplishment as soon as possible. Lin Ye did not neglect his other skills either; he felt that he should be able to raise these skills by another small grade.

As the competitions in other academies gradually concluded, Magic University's schedule was also arranged.

Jiang Xiaoyu's private coaching began again. For his disciple's better performance, he now spent three hours a day teaching Lin Ye.

Lin Ye had completed Jiang Xiaoyu's task of humiliating his ex-girlfriend's family, and Jiang Xiaoyu would naturally not go back on his promised reward. However, he said he would keep it a secret and would only issue his reward after Lin Ye's competition ended.

Lin Ye was somewhat looking forward to it. Jiang Xiaoyu was wealthy and had never been stingy.

He guessed it should be new skills or something. After the match with Bai Wenjie, he also realized that his foundation was too weak, his level was too low, and he had too few skills.

Bai Wenjie had at least five skills, revealing five in the match, and he probably had other skills with lower proficiency.

His cultivation method should also be Energy Diagram. The more skills he cultivated and the higher the skill levels, the faster his Star Power cultivation would be.
