32: Chapter 32 Reporting to Kyoto Martial Arts University
She recalled yesterday afternoon.
In that private dining room of the antique-style restaurant.
She had acted like a buffoon, shamelessly telling Su Yu, "You definitely can't beat me in actual combat."
She had even very seriously and personally taught him how to dodge Zhao Ze's Rock-Crushing Palm.
She had even put on the air of a big sister and given him a bottle of Third-Grade Blood-Nourishing Pills to stabilize his "unstable" blood qi!
Oh my god!
Lin Xiaoxiao now wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!
She had actually taught a Martial Master with a thousand points of blood qi how to fight?!
It was like an elementary school student who just learned addition and subtraction running up to a university math professor and solemnly teaching them how to calculate one plus one!
Embarrassing!
It was simply humiliating beyond belief!
"You..."
Lin Xiaoxiao bit her rosy lips and stared fixedly at Su Yu's calm face.
Her entire body was trembling slightly.
"You big liar!!!"
Bang!
Lin Xiaoxiao finally couldn't hold it back anymore.
She raised her delicate pink fist and punched Su Yu directly on the shoulder.
She didn't use blood qi.
It was entirely the force of a young girl venting her frustration in a coquettish way.
This extremely natural, even slightly intimate physical contact made the eyes of countless boys around the arena bulge.
That was Lin Xiaoxiao!
Jiangcheng's most unapproachable ice-cold school beauty and a top-tier wealthy heiress!
When had she ever made such a flirtatious move toward a boy?!
The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly.
He didn't dodge.
He allowed Lin Xiaoxiao's faintly fragrant body to approach.
"I didn't lie to you."
Su Yu explained.
"I just didn't say anything."
"You still dare to talk back!"
Lin Xiaoxiao was so angry she punched him again, her eyes red like an angry little rabbit.
"Were you watching me like a joke yesterday!"
"Watching me hop around in front of you like a fool, did you find it especially funny in your heart?!"
"How am I supposed to be your 'big sister' anymore!"
The more Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.
She was a genius girl with 406 blood qi!
Since she was young, where had she gone that wasn't the center of attention?
She originally thought that in this college entrance examination, she would definitely take the lead and could also protect this stubborn boy in passing.
As it turned out.
The guy directly pulled out a thousand points of blood qi!
He had ground her pathetic pride into the dirt until not even a scrap remained!
Su Yu looked at the exasperated girl before him.
A very faint trace of gentleness flashed in the depths of his profound eyes.
He knew that Lin Xiaoxiao truly cared about him.
Su Yu kept this kindness in his heart.
"I wasn't watching a joke."
Su Yu's tone softened slightly.
"The footwork you taught is not bad."
"Pah!"
Lin Xiaoxiao spat, her face turning even redder.
Not bad?
In the eyes of a Martial Master, her amateur skills were probably slower than a turtle's crawl!
However.
Hearing Su Yu's words, the grievance in Lin Xiaoxiao's heart miraculously dissipated by more than half.
She took a deep breath.
She released her grip on Su Yu's arm.
She took half a step back.
She straightened her back again, regaining the pride and stubbornness belonging to a wealthy young lady.
"Don't get ahead of yourself!"
Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her chin up slightly, a very bright light flashing in her pure eyes.
She stared fixedly at Su Yu.
"Is a thousand points of blood qi so amazing?"
"This young lady has the support of family resources!"
"Just you wait!"
Lin Xiaoxiao clenched her pink fists and declared war word by word.
"Once we get to Kyoto Martial Arts University, I will definitely double my cultivation!"
"One day, I will definitely surpass you!"
"When that time comes, you'll have to obediently call me sister!"
Looking at the girl's stubborn, refuse-to-lose appearance.
The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and extremely rarely, he formed a very shallow smile.
"Okay."
"I'll be waiting."
...
This storm that had shocked the entire city finally came to a temporary end with the Zhao family's departure.
But the practical assessment still had to continue.
However.
The following matches had completely lost their suspense.
Among the top ten, besides Su Yu and Lin Xiaoxiao, the remaining eight people had blood qi values that were barely over 110 at most.
Facing a Martial Master with a thousand blood qi.
Facing a mid-level martial artist with 406 blood qi.
This wasn't a match at all; it was a death wish!
"Third round, Su Yu versus Wang Qiang!"
Just as the referee's voice fell.
The examinee named Wang Qiang had just walked to the edge of the arena.
Looking at Su Yu standing in the center of the arena, not even taking his hands out of his pockets.
Wang Qiang's legs went weak.
With a "thud," he knelt directly on the alloy steps.
"I surrender! I withdraw! Big brother, don't kill me!"
Wang Qiang shouted heart-wrenchingly and scrambled back to the waiting area.
The entire audience burst into laughter.
But no one mocked him.
No matter who it was, facing a Martial Master who had just crushed someone's throat with his bare hands, they would definitely not be able to muster a shred of courage to fight.
The next few rounds.
Were exactly the same.
As long as an examinee was matched against Su Yu, they didn't even dare to step onto the arena, raising their hands to surrender directly from below.
Until the final match.
The referee shouted: "Su Yu, versus Lin Xiaoxiao!"
The gaze of the entire audience instantly converged.
However, this school beauty with 406 blood qi, remembering how she had shamelessly said "You definitely can't beat me" in the car at noon, felt her fair cheeks redden imperceptibly.
She very decisively raised her right hand and gave Su Yu on the arena an annoyed look.
"I can't beat him, I surrender."
Not only was the blood qi value nearly double, but there was also no need to fight.
In less than half an hour.
This practical assessment, which was originally expected to last until evening, thus concluded early because of Lin Xiaoxiao's straightforward withdrawal.
First place: Su Yu.
Second place: Lin Xiaoxiao.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled through the broken dome of the practical training hall onto the damaged alloy arena.
Among the hundred thousand spectators in the audience, not a single person left early.
Everyone was waiting for that final moment.
High upon the platform.
Grandmaster Lei Potian slowly stood up.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Su Yu and Lin Xiaoxiao below the arena.
With a flick of his wrist.
Two metal badges flashing with an extremely dazzling purple-gold light appeared in his palm.
On the front of the badges, a five-clawed golden dragon was carved, roaring at the sky.
On the back, four ancient and vigorous characters were engraved.
[Kyoto Martial Arts University]!
This was the special recruitment token of the highest martial arts institution in the Great Xia Kingdom!
It was the supreme glory that countless geniuses dreamed of obtaining!
"Su Yu. Lin Xiaoxiao."
Lei Potian's voice was solemn and majestic.
"Come up."
Su Yu and Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at each other.
The two of them stepped forward at the same time, walked onto the arena, and stood before Lei Potian.
Lei Potian looked at these two top-tier geniuses before him.
One was as steady as an abyss, the other as sharp as a blade.
The future of the Great Xia Kingdom rested on the shoulders of these young people.
"The Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association witnesses today."
Lei Potian held up the two purple-gold badges with both hands.
"Su Yu, Lin Xiaoxiao."
"The two of you, with the results of first and second in the practical assessment, have officially obtained the special recruitment qualification for Daxia Capital First Martial Arts University!"
Lei Potian handed the badges into their respective hands.
They were cold to the touch.
Yet they carried a heavy sense of mission.
Su Yu gripped that purple-gold badge.
An extremely sharp light finally flashed in his profound eyes.
Three years.
From a bottom-tier orphan who couldn't even afford synthetic meat to standing at the peak of this city today.
He had finally obtained this ticket to a higher world.
"Remember."
Lei Potian looked at the two of them, his tone becoming extremely grave.
"Jiangcheng is too small."
"Kyoto Martial Arts University is the true Asura field where monsters gather and geniuses compete."
"There, the top-tier monsters from the twelve provinces of the Great Xia Kingdom converge."
"Don't think that because you took first place in Jiangcheng, you can rest easy."
Lei Potian gave Su Yu a deep look.
"The path of martial arts is one of constant struggle."
"Within one month."
"Take this badge and report to Kyoto Martial Arts University."
"This old man looks forward to hearing your names on the front lines of the resistance against exotic beasts one day in the future!"
Lei Potian swung his hand abruptly.
The Great Grandmaster's blood qi shot straight into the clouds.
"The Jiangcheng Martial Arts College Entrance Examination has successfully concluded!"
Boom!
The hundred thousand people in the audience stood up at the same time.
Thunderous applause shattered the drifting clouds in the sky.
Su Yu put the purple-gold badge into his pocket.
He turned his head and looked toward the distant north.
That was the direction of Kyoto.
A new journey.
Had begun.
