149: The curtain falls, the inheritance of the Star Martial Saint comes to an end!

Ha ha.

After all, he had broken through to the thirty-ninth floor, shattering the National Youth Martial Arts University League's historical record.

It was normal for these people to be surprised.

He just wondered how many floors Student Li Ziyu had cleared.

Ji Wudi scanned the hall, and when he didn't see Student Li Ziyu, he raised an eyebrow.

Student Li Ziyu still hadn't come out?

He was probably still struggling inside.

Thinking this, Ji Wudi walked to the scoreboard with a smirk, looking directly at the very top.

If there were no surprises,

The name at the top of the rankings, number one, would be him, Ji Wudi.

Ji Wudi looked up.

When he clearly saw the name on the first line and the score next to it,

His eyes instantly widened, and he exclaimed in horror:

"What!? The first place is Student Li Ziyu!!? Fifty floors, perfect clear!?"

"This is impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!!!"

...

This scene played out almost every time a contestant exited the cabin door.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking up at Student Li Ziyu's name, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

...

"It's over, as the President of the National Martial Arts Association, I announce that the champion of this National Youth Martial Arts University League's individual competition is Student Li Ziyu!"

"The team competition champion is Modu Martial Arts University!"

"The champion of the Beast Duel Arena is Student Li Ziyu!"

"The champion of the overall comprehensive score in this National Youth Martial Arts University League is Student Li Ziyu!"

Three days later.

President Yuan Yuze looked at Student Li Ziyu with a rather emotional expression, then walked to the podium and announced the competition results to everyone in the audience.

This National Youth Martial Arts University League had concluded.

Student Li Ziyu deservedly won the championship.

Student Li Ziyu nodded, indicating his acknowledgment.

This result was completely within his expectations.

And those who secured a spot in the top ten of the National Youth Martial Arts University League, below his ranking,

Were Ji Wudi, Wang Xin, President Bai Ximo, Zuo Xiaoqing, Lei Zhan, Yin Miaomiao, and four other prodigies from other schools.

President Yuan Yuze then gave another inspiring speech.

Afterward, he handed a storage bracelet to Student Li Ziyu and the other nine, saying:

"This is your reward for being in the top ten; it's inside this storage bracelet."

"Oh, and all contestants who made it into the top ten of this National Youth Martial Arts University League are qualified to enter the Martial Saint Secret Realm."

"The entry time is one week from now, and your school's mentors will inform you of the specific meeting location."

"There's a chance to obtain the Xingyao Wusheng Martial Saint Inheritance in the Martial Saint Secret Realm, so you must seize this opportunity!"

After giving a few more instructions, President Yuan Yuze left with a smile.

Students from other factions also returned to their respective airships under the guidance of their mentors, ascending into the sky.

Student Li Ziyu also walked towards where the Modu University airship was parked.

Now that the competition was over, he could return to Modu University.

He needed to tally his gains when he got back.

As Student Li Ziyu approached the massive airship with Modu University's exclusive livery, President Wang Daoyuan and two other kind-faced elders walked towards him.

They looked at him with admiration and said:

"As expected of a prodigy who can break the historical record of the Beast Duel Arena, he truly is an outstanding talent!"

"Heh heh, Student Li Ziyu, I am President Wang Daoyuan, the President of Kyoto Martial Arts University. If you ever feel uncomfortable staying at Modu Martial Arts University, the doors of my Kyoto Martial Arts University are always open for you!"

"My Canglan Martial Arts University is the same!"

"And my Saint Pan Martial Arts University, as long as Student Li Ziyu is willing, he can obtain student status at my Saint Pan Martial Arts University at any time!"

The three of them, one after another, tried to win over Student Li Ziyu.

Their appearance...

Student Li Ziyu felt they didn't look like Martial Arts Grandmasters, but rather a bit like old madams soliciting customers on the street.

"Ahem! President Wang, two days ago, the President of my Modu University had something he wanted me to tell you, but I never had the chance."

At this moment, Yu Ningmo walked over, looking at President Wang Daoyuan, who was trying to poach, with an unfriendly expression.

President Wang Daoyuan, who was just promising Student Li Ziyu various conditions, paused, looked at Yu Ningmo, and subconsciously asked:

"Old Ge? What did he want to tell me?"

"Oh, my President said that while fighting fierce beasts in the underground caves, he fortunately had a Battle Skill breakthrough and wanted to find someone to spar with. He wanted to ask if you had time."

"..."

"Hmph!"

"I, President Wang Daoyuan, also had a Battle Skill breakthrough by chance! Tell your President to come whenever he wants!"

President Wang Daoyuan was stunned at first, then immediately understood what Yu Ningmo meant by those words.

She was displeased that he was openly trying to poach Modu University's talent and was using Ge Yuanzhou's name to threaten him.

Hmph!

But for a genius like Student Li Ziyu, he was willing to go all out.

He didn't put such threats in his eyes at all.

He immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready for the challenge.

"Uh... Presidents, I'm doing quite well at Modu Martial Arts University, and I currently have no intention of changing schools."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, which subtly tended to develop in an unfavorable direction,

Student Li Ziyu hurriedly explained, trying to smooth things over.

"Alright, if you change your mind, you can contact me anytime."

"The doors of my Kyoto Martial Arts University are always open for you!"

Since Student Li Ziyu had said so, President Wang Daoyuan could no longer say anything, and could only leave reluctantly.

"That old bastard President Wang Daoyuan, taking advantage of our Modu University President's absence, still tries to poach our genius! Hmph!"

Yu Ningmo rolled her beautiful eyes, spat towards President Wang Daoyuan's retreating back, expressing disdain.

After speaking, she immediately changed her smile, turning to look at Student Li Ziyu with admiration:

"Student Li Ziyu, your strength is even greater than I imagined."

"You can even defeat someone from Ji Dao Martial Hall."

"It truly exceeded even my expectations as a Vice President."

Yu Ningmo's beautiful eyes twinkled as she playfully sized up Student Li Ziyu.

"Confess honestly, do you have any secrets?"

"..."

Student Li Ziyu rubbed the back of his head, his expression a bit awkward.

Yu Ningmo's question left him at a loss for how to answer.

If it were anyone else asking that, he would have just slapped them.

But the person in front of him was the beautiful Vice President who had allocated hundreds of billions of resources to him.

He really couldn't bring himself to do it.

Also,

He couldn't win...

"Heh heh, I'm just joking with you."

Seeing Student Li Ziyu's bewildered expression, Yu Ningmo's eyes instantly narrowed into crescents, and she waved her hand with a smile.

She was just joking.

Who among the strong doesn't have secrets?

Didn't she herself, who became an Eighth-Level Grandmaster before forty, also have secrets?

"I'm not joking with you anymore, let's get on the airship first. I have something to tell you."

Yu Ningmo said softly, then turned and walked towards the airship.

Student Li Ziyu nodded.

Following the graceful Yu Ningmo, he also boarded the airship.

Once the Modu University airship's hatch closed,

Coach Niu, who had been secretly observing Student Li Ziyu's movements from a distance, withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the silent Ji Wudi beside him.

Seeing Ji Wudi's dejected appearance, Coach Niu sighed and patted his shoulder comfortingly:

"Look on the bright side. When you encounter a monster like Student Li Ziyu, who appears once in a century, there's nothing anyone can do."

"However, some people, no matter how strong their talent is in the early stages, if they don't go all the way, they will ultimately be nothing more than a flash in the pan."

"My Ji Dao Martial Hall possesses the Martial Saint Inheritance, and whether it's Battle Skills or body tempering methods, they are far superior to what Modu Martial Arts University can offer."

"You don't need to be discouraged. As long as you cultivate diligently, leaving Student Li Ziyu behind is only a matter of time."
