13: Why does this person look like Li Ziyu?

Tang Xuan said excitedly to Li Ziyu.

At the same time, he couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly, walking to the Shadow Cat's corpse and examining it closely, growing more and more surprised the more he looked.

For the first few Shadow Cat corpses, it took two or three slashes to kill them.

But for the later ones, every single one was killed with one slash!

This Li Ziyu is definitely a master of Knife Skill!

A moment later.

There was no excessive haggling.

Li Ziyu took the secret manual recording Swift Wind Blade Technique from Tang Xuan's hand.

At the same time, his phone also received a notification of two hundred thousand great xia currency being deposited into his account.

"Little brother, if you have more fierce beast corpses to sell in the future, you must consider me first. I will definitely give you a higher price than what you'd get outside!"

Tang Xuan said with an eager and bold tone.

Li Ziyu also responded with a smile.

"Alright!"

After these two interactions, Li Ziyu felt that Tang Xuan was a good person, not like a businessman purely driven by profit, but rather like a Martial Artist who switched professions and was full of righteousness.

Anyway, he would frequently sell fierce beast corpses in the future, and finding a long-term partner would only benefit him, not harm him.

After exchanging a few more words with Tang Xuan, Li Ziyu glanced at the high-hanging sun outside and then at the wall clock.

"It's eight o'clock. The Martial Arts Association should be open by now. I'll go get my First Grade Warrior certification!"

"Although the five thousand great xia currency Martial Artist subsidy each month isn't much to me now, the Body Tempering Cultivation Technique given for certifying as a First Grade Warrior is still very valuable to me!"

"Although my current vital energy and blood value is high, it's only in quantity, not quality."

"Developing on both fronts, comprehensive development, is the true path!"

Li Ziyu said goodbye to Tang Xuan and pushed open the door to leave Zhenwu Pavilion.

He didn't know how much his vital energy and blood value had reached now.

Going to the Martial Arts Association this time, he could also get it measured and have a clear idea.

...

Li Ziyu walked while flipping through Swift Wind Blade Technique.

But just then, his phone rang incessantly.

Li Ziyu frowned, took out his phone from his pocket, and saw messages from Flying Letter.

This was a chat software developed by a Great Xia technology company, similar to WeChat in his previous life.

At this moment, the Flying Letter icon already showed 99+ messages.

The top message was from his aunt, whose avatar was a charming woman wearing sunglasses.

It was Li Ziyu's aunt.

"Li Ziyu, come to my aunt's house for dinner tonight. Your uncle bought seafood, and he specially bought a few catties of Shadow Cat meat."

"Aren't you going to have your Martial Exam in a few days? Eat some fierce beast meat to replenish your vital energy and blood, and strive to get a good score in the Martial Exam!"

The icon at the end also sent a smiling emoji.

However, this message was sent yesterday morning.

At that time, Li Ziyu had just been broken up with by Xu Mengyao, or rather, he had just transmigrated and hadn't had time to check Flying Letter.

Below that was another message, sent by his aunt today.

"Li Ziyu, your cousin told me about your vital energy and blood test. Don't be disheartened. Becoming a Martial Artist isn't that great anyway; fighting and killing is so dangerous."

"I've already told your uncle that when you graduate from high school, he'll arrange for you to work at his company and directly give you a manager position!"

There were also several voice calls below, and the call history showed more than a dozen missed calls.

Seeing this, a warm current flowed through Li Ziyu's heart.

It was clear that his aunt genuinely cared for him, unlike some fake relatives online.

However, when these messages were sent, he was in the Wilderness Area, so he didn't receive them.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ziyu still replied to his aunt.

She hadn't replied yet, probably busy.

Further down were messages from the class group chat.

"Brothers, the Martial Exam is in four days. How are you all preparing? How much vital energy and blood do you have?"

"Sigh, it's all tears. Increasing vital energy and blood is too difficult. I only have 1.1 vital energy and blood now!

I'm still far from the 1.2 vital energy and blood required for a Martial Arts University undergraduate, so I guess Martial Arts University is hopeless."

"It's pretty much the same for everyone. My parents are currently considering whether to take out a loan to buy me vital energy and blood-enhancing pills,

But I didn't agree. Even if vital energy and blood increases, it's useless if combat power doesn't keep up in the Martial Exam!

During the Martial Exam, you have to genuinely fight fierce beasts."

Below were lines of sighing emojis, followed by a message from their class's study committee member.

"Oh, right, have you seen the school forum?

It's said that there's a ruthless person from our school who went out of the city alone last night and hunted dozens of Red-Eyed Rabbits, and even a Shadow Cat!"

"This was captured by my friend!"

Then came a picture.

In the picture, a young man was carrying a sack several times larger than him.

From one corner of the sack, a black head with a drooping, tongue-out expression was visible.

The picture had just been posted, followed by a string of exclamations like 'Awesome,' 'Strong,' 'Holy cow.'

On Flying Letter, the pings were still incessant.

"Holy moly, the Shadow Cat is a First Grade Mid-level fierce beast, very strong in speed and attack!

Who is this ruthless person from our school who can hunt a Shadow Cat alone!?

Could it be that guy Bai Haoran!?

"It shouldn't be, right? Bai Haoran hasn't even become a Martial Artist yet. I heard he's only preparing to undergo Martial Artist certification today."

"Bai Haoran is going to get Martial Artist certification? His vital energy and blood value is already 1.5???"

However, this message received no response. Most were still guessing who the owner of this picture was.

"Huh, looking at the back of the person in this picture, why does it look so much like Li Ziyu? Look at the shoes; I think I've seen them on Li Ziyu's feet?"

"Brother, you must be mistaken. The school just finished testing the day before yesterday, and Li Ziyu's vital energy and blood was only 0.8. He doesn't even qualify for a Martial Arts University, let alone hunting a First Grade Mid-level fierce beast Shadow Cat alone. How could it be him?"

"Uh... it must be a mistake."

Li Ziyu looked at these messages, his eyes subtly moving.

He hadn't expected that he would be secretly photographed yesterday while selling Red-Eyed Rabbits.

Although only his back was captured.

However, Li Ziyu wasn't worried that someone would find his vital energy and blood increase too fast.

After all, in the Martial Artist world, various prodigies emerge endlessly, and among Martial Artists, there are also such things as talented Martial Artists.

There are many talented Martial Artists who awaken some special talent, causing their cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

If someone truly comes to ask, he can simply use the excuse of having awakened a talent.

He looked again, most of the messages were complaining about the difficulty of the Martial Exam and the difficulty of increasing vital energy and blood, and so on.

Li Ziyu looked at them, then closed Flying Letter and put his phone back in his pocket.

"The Martial Exam and attending a Martial Arts University are not mandatory options for me at present."

"I'll go get my First Grade Warrior certification first."

Li Ziyu thought for a moment, then refocused his attention on the Swift Wind Blade Technique in his hand.

While comprehending Swift Wind Blade Technique, he walked towards the Xu Jiang City Martial Arts Association building.

The Martial Arts Association was also located in the city center, not far from here, about a ten-minute walk, which was convenient.

"Hmph, these poor losers, not a single one in the class has vital energy and blood over 1.4. What a bunch of useless people. I don't know why I was ever put in such a class."

In a blue BMW X5 driving towards the Martial Arts Association.

Xu Mengyao sat in the back, looking at the messages in the Flying Letter class group chat with a look of disdain.

Sitting next to her was Bai Haoran, dressed in casual clothes.

"Brother Bai Haoran is still amazing; he can already undergo the First Grade Warrior test!

Compared to those people in our class, Brother Bai Haoran, you are simply a genius!"

"You will definitely pass this Martial Artist certification, Brother Bai Haoran!"

Xu Mengyao looked at Bai Haoran beside her with an expression of pure admiration, her eyes seemingly sparkling.

Bai Haoran, sitting next to her, couldn't help but feel a little smug, but he still feigned humility.

"Hehe, you can't be so absolute. After all, the First Grade Warrior assessment not only looks at vital energy and blood but also combat power. I'm about eighty percent confident."

"That's still much stronger than those useless people in our class. They probably won't even touch the threshold of a Martial Artist in this lifetime."

Xu Mengyao's expression remained one of admiration, but when she mentioned her classmates, her eyes inadvertently revealed disdain.

"Not necessarily. Maybe your class has a hidden expert, like Li Ziyu, haha. I think the back in the picture looks quite like him, doesn't it?"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Haoran himself laughed. It seemed he didn't even believe what he was saying.

Xu Mengyao also giggled along.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Brother Bai Haoran to learn how to joke too. Li Ziyu is a useless person whose vital energy and blood isn't even 1. If the person in the picture is him, that would truly be a huge joke."

...
