72: Lei Zhan, president of the Mutual Aid Association, is worried

Liu Mingyuan, have you delivered the message to Ouyang Hao?

Thirty-fifth floor of the Secret Realm Battle Tower.

Lei Zhan, whose aura was like a blade and radiated a sharp presence, stood proudly at the entrance of the thirty-fifth floor of the Battle Tower.

Behind Lei Zhan, Liu Mingyuan, who had a somewhat sinister look, stared at Lei Zhan with fiery eyes and fervent admiration, saying respectfully, "It's all been delivered, President."

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Mingyuan added, "But President, will Ouyang Hao really give up his spot in the National Youth Martial Arts University League?"

"After all, this National Youth Martial Arts University League involves the Seed Plan."

Lei Zhan was expressionless. He took a step forward, walked to the entrance of the Battle Tower Secret Realm, and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Whether Ouyang Hao gives it up or not, only one of them can get the spot in the end."

"Martial Artists must contend, and the strong are respected. When the higher-ups formulated the Seed Plan back then, wasn't it precisely for us to compete to the death?"

"If Ouyang Hao can snatch the spot back from Li Ziyu, then that's Ouyang Hao's ability."

"It proves that Ouyang Hao's strength is greater than Li Ziyu's!"

Liu Mingyuan fell silent upon hearing this, then after a moment, he said with hesitation, "But won't this be too unfair to Li Ziyu?"

"Li Ziyu is only a freshman this year, while Ouyang Hao is already a senior, and Ouyang Hao is also a Mental Power Master, whose combat power is inherently several times stronger than martial artists of the same level."

"Although Li Ziyu can defeat Yang Ming, compared to Ouyang Hao, the disparity in strength is too great."

Lei Zhan was expressionless. He turned to glance at Liu Mingyuan, then took a step and entered the Battle Tower: "Fairness? Why do you think the word 'fairness' exists in the world of martial artists?"

"Survival of the fittest, natural selection."

"The Seed Plan is meant to select the most outstanding group of geniuses."

If Li Ziyu is not Ouyang Hao's opponent, then it only means he is not talented enough."

"If you want to blame someone, blame Left Hongyang for being too optimistic about Li Ziyu and giving the National Youth Martial Arts University League spot to Li Ziyu."

"Alright, there's nothing major recently, so don't contact me. I need to break through the thirty-sixth floor of the Secret Realm Battle Tower before the Youth Martial Arts University League begins!"

...

Lanpu Martial Arts University, girls' dormitory.

It wasn't officially open yet, and Wang Xiaoya was idly scrolling through her phone.

Suddenly, as if she had seen something incredible, her beautiful eyes widened abruptly, and she sat up from the bed.

She rushed to the door of another room, knocking on it.

"Xia Lin! Quickly look at Modu Martial Arts University's forum!"

"There's news about Li Ziyu!"

"Hmm? Where, let me see."

Hearing the name Li Ziyu, Xia Lin, dressed in pajamas, reflexively pulled open the door and said impatiently.

If it were normal times, Wang Xiaoya would definitely tease Xia Lin for her appearance.

But now, she didn't have the mind for it.

Wang Xiaoya directly picked up her phone and handed an open forum post to Xia Lin: "Li Ziyu had a conflict with someone from the Mutual Aid Society when choosing a dormitory!"

"It's said that he defeated a second-year master from the Mutual Aid Society with a single strike!"

"And he even severed the limbs of the Mutual Aid Society member!"

Wang Xiaoya spoke quickly.

Xia Lin was stunned upon hearing this and quickly looked at the phone.

A moment later, she covered her small mouth with her jade hand and exclaimed, "Ah? The Mutual Aid Society seems very powerful!"

Wang Xiaoya didn't know why she asked this, but she still said seriously, "Yes! Very strong!"

"Then if Student Li Ziyu offended the Mutual Aid Society, will he be retaliated against by the Mutual Aid Society?"

Xia Lin said with eyes full of worry.

Wang Xiaoya's expression froze: "Uh, Xia Lin, shouldn't you be concerned about how Li Ziyu managed to defeat someone from the Mutual Aid Society?"

"It's said that the Mutual Aid Society sent a second-year senior this time, and his strength ranks among the top ten in his second year, very strong!"

"Li Ziyu actually defeated him, that's too amazing!"

Wang Xiaoya blinked, wanting to remind Xia Lin that her focus was misplaced.

Xia Lin, however, looked puzzled and said as a matter of course, "Student Li Ziyu's strength is already very strong."

"On the high-speed train from Xu Jiang City to Modu, we encountered an attack from a Level 2 Middle-Grade ferocious beast, the Two-Headed Carrion Eating Eagle, and Student Li Ziyu instantly killed the Two-Headed Carrion Eating Eagle with one strike!"

"Never mind that, Xiaoya, do you think Student Li Ziyu will be retaliated against by the Mutual Aid Society later?"

Xia Lin's expression was almost on the verge of tears.

Wang Xiaoya's mind, however, went blank, her brain constantly replaying what Xia Lin had just said: "Instantly killed a Two-Headed Carrion Eating Eagle with one strike?? That can't be true, can it?"

However, Xia Lin's tugging on her arm pulled her back from her shock, and she subconsciously said, "Of course it's very strong. The Vice President and President of the Mutual Aid Society both rank among the top three in combat power at Modu Martial Arts University."

"Their strength is even greater than that of our local Martial Arts Association President!"

"Ah!? What if they retaliate against Student Li Ziyu!"

"No, I'm going to find Student Li Ziyu!"

"Hey, Xia Lin, wait for me!"

...

"Li... Student Li Ziyu, are you really this year's National Martial Arts Exam Top Scorer?"

In the living room on the first floor of the villa, Sun Qiming asked again with a look of disbelief.

This was the sixth time he had asked the same question.

Seeing Li Ziyu look at him helplessly, the chubby Sun Qiming scratched his head awkwardly: "Mainly, I thought the National Martial Arts Exam Top Scorer would all choose Kyoto Martial Arts University, since Modu Martial Arts University's ranking hasn't been as high as Kyoto Martial Arts University's these past two years."

As he spoke, Sun Qiming's face showed a hint of curiosity and disbelief again.

He looked at Li Ziyu, who was sitting on the sofa arranging his luggage, and said admiringly, "But Yu-ge, your strength is too great!"

"I'm ranked nineteenth nationally, and I couldn't even take one move from Yang Ming, yet you could instantly kill him with one move, truly..."

"Truly amazing!"

When Sun Qiming said this, his face was excited, and his fists were tightly clenched, as if he had been the one who had just instantly killed Yang Ming.

His address also naturally changed from Li Ziyu to Yu-ge.

"But Yu-ge, we've completely fallen out with the Mutual Aid Society now, and they'll definitely send people to cause trouble later."

"We need to be careful later!"

Sun Qiming's face showed worry.

He had already considered himself Li Ziyu's younger brother.

A younger brother and an older brother are definitely on the same side.

If the Mutual Aid Society came to trouble Li Ziyu, it was equivalent to coming to trouble him.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Qiming felt immense pressure.

"Relax, what martial artists value is pressing forward fearlessly."

"No matter how many obstacles lie ahead, break through them with one strike!"

Li Ziyu finished organizing his luggage, walked to Sun Qiming, who was still excited, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "If they come looking, they'll come for me first."

After speaking, he carried his luggage and went up to the second floor of the villa along the wooden spiral staircase.

The villa had two floors, and the second floor was quieter and had a better view.

Sun Qiming, as a matter of course, voluntarily gave up the second-floor space.

Walking to the stairwell and seeing Sun Qiming still in a daze, Li Ziyu smiled again and said, "Don't be in a daze, let's go to the cafeteria for dinner tonight."

"Oh, okay, Yu-ge, I'll call you when it's dinner time."
