132: Zi Yan roars, Jidao Martial Arts School appears!
Yueling, if you draw someone from Ji Dao Martial Hall, don't hesitate, just surrender!
Save your energy for the revival match.
Sujiang Province, Jingnan City.
The Zi Yan Battle Group's headquarters.
The leader of the Zi Yan Battle Group, Ziyan Xiaoh, with long purple hair.
As he led his team onto the airship, he solemnly instructed his daughter, Purple Flame Moon Spirit.
"Dad, are the people from the Martial Hall really as strong as you say? Is it possible for anyone from the Four Famous Schools to be an opponent to the Martial Hall faction?"
"Last time when I was getting my Martial Artist certification in Modu, I met someone named Li Ziyu."
"His combat power directly reached Fifth-level Advanced Martial Artist. Can't a Fifth-level Advanced Martial Artist even win first place in this National Youth Martial Arts University League?!"
"This is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
After Purple Flame Moon Spirit returned, she told her father everything she had seen and heard during her combat power test in Modu.
And said that Li Ziyu would definitely win first place in this National Youth Martial Arts University League.
But what she received was her father's shaking head and admonition:
"You, this generation, have not experienced the era when the Martial Hall faction was active, so you don't know their strength."
"Back then, anyone they sent out could easily crush those of the same level and dominate an era!"
"And what's even more terrifying is that whenever you defeat the disciple you thought was the strongest from the Martial Hall faction, they would send out an even stronger disciple..."
"You simply can't see their limit!"
"Moreover, the Martial Hall faction possesses the Martial Saint Inheritance, which overwhelms outsiders in all aspects, whether it's Battle Skills or cultivation techniques."
"If there were no Ji Dao Martial Hall participants this time, the student you mentioned, Li Ziyu, might truly take first place."
"But now that people from Ji Dao Martial Hall are involved, it's different!"
Ziyan Xiaoh's expression showed recollection, as if recalling some events that happened in their era.
"The Martial Hall faction has not been involved in worldly affairs for fifty years, but now, with the Fourth World Echo approaching, they suddenly and ostentatiously announced their participation in the National Youth Martial Arts University League. What could it be for...?"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's depart."
"We'll pass by Lanpu Martial Arts University on the way and pick up those students who are preparing to join our Zi Yan Battle Group, so they can watch the competition with us."
Purple Flame Moon Spirit nodded and boarded the airship with him.
Their battle group replenishes fresh blood every year, and this year is no exception.
Coincidentally, this year is the National Youth Martial Arts University League, and as an S-rank battle group, they have a few spots for live viewing.
They plan to give these spots to the candidates joining the Zi Yan Battle Group.
This can increase the battle group's cohesion.
...
Saint Pan Martial Arts University. Zuo Xiaoqing and the other nine Saint Pan Martial Arts University participants walked onto the airship with their team leader.
At this moment, a teammate approached Zuo Xiaoqing, asking curiously:
"President Zuo, what place do you think we can get this time?"
"Is top three possible?"
The others also gathered around, pricking up their ears, waiting for Zuo Xiaoqing's answer.
"Of course! All our strong contestants this time are Level 4 Advanced Martial Artists; this strength is considered very strong among all universities nationwide!"
"Everyone, you must do your best during the competition!"
"Strive to make a name for our Saint Pan University!"
"Absolutely!"
"Don't worry, President Zuo, with President Zuo leading the team, top three is definitely stable!"
Upon hearing Zuo Xiaoqing's words, everyone's faces were excited, and they all clenched their fists with confidence.
Zuo Xiaoqing looked at his confident and spirited teammates.
He secretly sighed in his heart.
As the team leader, there were some things he couldn't say.
In his opinion.
Top three...
It would be good enough if they didn't fall out of the top five in this National Youth Martial Arts University League...
They definitely shouldn't even dream of first place.
It would absolutely be someone from Ji Dao Martial Hall, no doubt.
As for second place.
Zuo Xiaoqing recalled the news of Wang Xinyang breaking through to Level 5 Martial Artist.
Since Wang Xinyang had broken through to Level 5 Martial Artist, second place would definitely go to Kyoto Martial Arts University, no doubt.
As for third place.
Zuo Xiaoqing's mind involuntarily conjured the image of the young man with a saber he had met in Huangye City, Daxing.
Defeating a Level 4 Advanced Martial Artist was like slicing melons and dicing vegetables.
Zuo Xiaoqing sighed.
Li Ziyu could defeat a Level 4 Advanced Martial Artist so easily, his strength was at least Level 4 Peak.
And he was the kind of top-tier Level 4 Peak Martial Artist.
So third place would likely be taken by Li Ziyu.
They definitely had no chance.
"Alas, it's not that I'm underestimating myself, it's just that the enemies are too strong."
"This time, our Saint Pan Martial Arts University can probably only contend for third or fourth place."
"However, Modu University is a bit regrettable this time; they produced such a genius, probably planning to amaze everyone in the National Youth Martial Arts University League."
"It's just unfortunate luck that they encountered people from Ji Dao Martial Hall and Wang Xinyang, who just broke through to Level 5 Martial Artist!"
"They will probably only get third place."
...
On the other side.
A magnificent building covering hundreds of thousands of square meters in Kyoto.
Two hundred-meter-tall purple sandalwood pillars stood on either side of the hundreds-of-meters-high gate.
Above the gate.
A plaque with the four characters "Ji Dao Martial Hall" shone brightly under the sunlight.
Upon closer inspection.
It was actually all made of priceless vibranium!
The market price of one gram of vibranium is at least 500,000 great xia currency.
And it's a rare commodity with demand far exceeding supply.
This plaque was tens of meters long and wide, weighing at least ten thousand jin.
Its price was absolutely immeasurable.
Even a single plaque was worth so much.
One can imagine the strength of Ji Dao Martial Hall.
At this moment.
In the central hall of Ji Dao Martial Hall.
Deputy Head Ji Wudao, sat grandly on the Grand Tutor's chair at the very top.
Listening to Yang Shuai's report from below.
Ji Wudao took a sip of tea, looked at Yang Shuai, who was reporting from below, and spoke indifferently:
"You mean, when you went to Modu for the Martial Artist test, you met a Modu Martial Arts University student whose combat power reached Fifth-level Advanced?"
Ji Wudao is one of the three Deputy Heads of Ji Dao Martial Hall, in charge of its external affairs.
Although he was surprised that Li Ziyu could reach Fifth-level Advanced Martial Artist at such a young age, Ji Wudao didn't pay much attention.
No other reason.
Because Ji Dao Martial Hall is strong enough!
Ji Dao Martial Hall adopted the ancient martial hall system.
From top to bottom.
It has a Head.
Three Deputy Heads.
Eight Elders.
Thirty-two Instructors.
Below them are the numerous disciples.
Even the three Deputy Heads.
Their strength had all reached the Level 8 Peak Grandmaster realm!
Stronger than the principals of various Martial Arts Universities!
And the Head of Ji Dao Martial Hall,
Even possessed the strength of a Half-step Martial Saint!
He was hailed as the strongest in Great Xia with the most hope of becoming a Martial Saint!
Above these positions.
There was also one person sitting high in the clouds!
That was the Supreme Path Martial Saint!
An existence akin to a Human God!
With such strength as a foundation.
Even upon hearing that Li Ziyu's strength had reached Level 5 Martial Artist.
Ji Wudao was merely slightly surprised.
"Yes, Deputy Head, I saw it with my own eyes, it's absolutely true."
Yang Shuai stood below with a respectful expression, recalling the combat power Li Ziyu unleashed during the combat power test, a hint of admiration appeared on his face.
Ji Wudao said nothing after listening.
The scene fell into silence for a moment, with only the sound of Ji Wudao sipping tea.
Yang Shuai dared not breathe loudly, quietly waiting for his Deputy Head to ponder.
A moment later, Ji Wudao put down his teacup and spoke indifferently:
"To reach Fifth-level Advanced strength at such a young age, his talent is indeed extraordinary."
"As far as I know, Wang Xinyang of Kyoto Martial Arts University has also broken through to Level 5 Martial Artist this time."
"It seems the Academy faction also has hidden talents this time!"
Ji Wudao said expressionlessly.
"However, this National Youth Martial Arts University League is the first time our Ji Dao Martial Hall will display its strength to the outside world after fifty years of dormancy."
"We must achieve first place."
"So... for this National Youth Martial Arts University League, let your Senior Brother personally go."
