54: Chapter 54 You need to have the strength!

"Although I haven't mastered that kind of monstrous martial will."

"Although I can't dream of peerless spear techniques."

"But—"

Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately drew out the end of her sentence, dropping a bombshell.

"I have learned a Heaven-Tier martial art!"

Heaven-Tier martial art!

As soon as these four words were spoken.

Su Yu's deep eyes suddenly constricted.

His footsteps also came to a halt.

The martial arts grades in the Great Xia Kingdom are divided into four tiers from low to high: Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven.

In Jiangcheng, just to try learning a Profound-Tier Breath Concealment Technique in the martial arts library costs eight hundred thousand!

As for Earth-Tier martial arts.

Those are rare treasures that would make Masters and Great Grandmasters fight tooth and nail to snatch them.

And Heaven-Tier...

Those are true national treasures!

They are supreme secret manuals that only Martial Kings, Martial Monarchs, and even the legendary Martial Emperors are qualified to touch!

Every Heaven-Tier martial art contains terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth, and can even resonate with a trace of the laws of heaven and earth.

Lin Xiaoxiao actually learned a Heaven-Tier martial art?!

Looking at the undisguised shock in Su Yu's eyes.

The slight frustration in Lin Xiaoxiao's heart instantly vanished into thin air.

Replacing it was a sense of immense accomplishment.

"Heh heh, scared, right?"

Lin Xiaoxiao clasped her hands behind her back and skipped nimbly around Su Yu.

"This is the secret that my Lin family does not pass on."

"It's called the 'Great Wilderness Star-Falling Fist'!"

"My dad only barely managed to master the basics of this fist technique when he reached the Great Grandmaster realm."

Lin Xiaoxiao stretched out her fair hands and waved them in front of Su Yu.

Her tone carried a hint of imperceptible grievance and pride.

"To practice this fist technique."

"I had to stay in the gravity room for ten hours every day."

"I don't know how many times my hands were fractured, and every night I had to soak in that high-grade bone-tempering medicinal bath that was painful enough to make one want to die."

"Even my dad tried to persuade me to give up, saying my Qi-Blood realm wasn't high enough and that training it forcibly would damage my foundation."

"But..."

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped in front of Su Yu.

She looked straight into his eyes.

In those innocent eyes, a light called "stubbornness" flickered.

"I forced myself to master it!"

"Although I've only barely mastered the basics and haven't even fully grasped the first level."

"But as long as I explode with all my Qi-Blood and throw a punch, I can definitely kill enemies above my rank!"

Lin Xiaoxiao clenched her small fist and waved it in front of Su Yu.

Stirring up an extremely sharp gust of wind.

"So!"

"Special-grade freshman, classmate Su Yu."

"Don't think that just because you've comprehended the Form-Manifesting Spear Intent, you can walk sideways in the Capital Martial Arts University."

"If we really fight, with your one thousand Qi-Blood and that broken spear, it's not certain who would be whose opponent!"

Tsundere. Competitive. Yet revealing a sincerity that one cannot ignore.

Su Yu watched the girl in front of him quietly.

He did not refute Lin Xiaoxiao's provocation.

Nor did he use his own monstrous Form-Manifesting Spear Intent to crush her confidence.

Instead, he put away his usual indifferent expression.

And nodded extremely seriously.

"Yeah."

"I believe you."

Su Yu looked at her, the corners of his mouth lifting into a gentle arc.

"A Heaven-Tier martial art is indeed very strong."

"In the future at the Capital Martial Arts University, I will have to rely on you, Miss Lin, for your guidance."

Hearing this sincere affirmation from Su Yu, without the slightest hint of perfunctoriness.

Lin Xiaoxiao's cheeks inexplicably flushed with a touch of red.

She averted her gaze somewhat unnaturally and coughed.

"Ahem... just know that."

"Don't worry, this young lady keeps her word. If anyone dares to bully you, I will smash them into a meat patty with the 'Great Wilderness Star-Falling Fist'!"

The atmosphere became exceptionally harmonious at this moment.

Even carrying a hint of the unique ambiguity and youthful passion between boys and girls.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Turning around, they continued to walk forward side by side.

Half an hour later.

At the end of their line of sight.

A towering, magnificent complex of buildings, like an ancient behemoth crouching on the horizon, slowly came into view.

The highest martial arts institution in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Imperial Capital First Martial Arts University!

On the hundred-meter-high giant alloy school gate, four large characters were carved as if by sword and axe—Martial Arts Must Be Contested!

Just standing in front of this gate, one could feel a fierce, murderous aura rushing toward them, accumulated over a hundred years of bloody battles.

At this moment.

The square outside the school gate was already bustling with noise.

Luxury cars were like clouds.

Countless freshmen from all over the country, hailed as the favored children of heaven, gathered here with pride, trepidation, and longing.

Everywhere were senior students holding banners to welcome newcomers.

Everywhere were young faces with surging Qi-Blood.

It was bustling with excitement.

But.

The moment Su Yu and Lin Xiaoxiao stepped into the square side by side.

Su Yu's perception, tempered by ten million years of Spear Intent, instantly detected something unusual.

Beneath this lively and noisy facade.

Countless gazes filled with hostility, scrutiny, jealousy, and even killing intent were hidden!

These gazes were like poisonous snakes hidden in the dark.

From all directions, they locked onto him tightly.

"Look! It's Lin Xiaoxiao!"

"That special recruit monster from Jiangcheng? The one with four hundred Qi-Blood?"

"Who is that boy next to her carrying the long black cloth bundle?"

"Are you blind! Did you not see that the internal network forum exploded yesterday?!"

Suppressed exclamations and whispers came from the crowd.

"He is Su Yu!"

"The Su Yu who was personally ordered by Vice Principal Nie to be named a 'Special-Grade Freshman'!"

"What?! It's him?!"

"He looks ordinary, doesn't even have much Qi-Blood fluctuation, why is he mentioned in the same breath as the War God Principal?!"

"I heard he comprehended the Soul-Suppressing Spear Intent, and Director Chu Kuang almost fought with Director Lei Jue to snatch him!"

"Bullshit! How domineering is the Soul-Suppressing Spear Intent? Can an eighteen-year-old freshman comprehend it? I bet he used some shady methods to cheat!"

The discussions grew louder and louder.

Some sophomore and junior students even unreservedly released their powerful Qi-Blood pressure, crushing it toward Su Yu's direction.

Special-Grade Freshman.

This title was too heavy.

Heavy enough to crush any genius without the support of absolute strength.

It was like a huge target, completely exposing Su Yu to the gun barrels of all the geniuses at the Capital Martial Arts University.

Lin Xiaoxiao naturally felt the unfriendly gazes around her.

The smile on her face instantly vanished.

A cold, icy glint flashed in her innocent eyes.

She stepped forward, faintly blocking Su Yu's side, and the Qi-Blood in her body began to circulate slowly.

The starting stance of the Heaven-Tier martial art was already gathering power in the dark.

"Su Yu."

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her voice, her tone serious.

"It seems."

"These people are all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."

"If you are suppressed by them on this first day of reporting, you will find it difficult to move an inch in the Capital Martial Arts University in the future."

Facing the malice and pressure surging like a tide from all around.

Su Yu did not retreat even half a step.

He stood where he was.

His deep eyes slowly swept across the entire scene.

Wherever his gaze landed, those senior students who tried to test him with Qi-Blood pressure inexplicably felt a palpitation and subconsciously averted their eyes.

This was an instinctive fear originating from the depths of the soul.

Just like a herbivore suddenly being stared at by a dormant, ancient beast.

Su Yu reached out his hand.

And grasped the yuanlong spear wrapped in black cloth on his back.

Feeling the cold touch transmitted through the black cloth.

Establishing rules?

Su Yu sneered in his heart.

You need to have the strength for that!

"Let's go."

Su Yu loosened his hand from the spear.

His tone was calm.

"Let's go report."

He took a step, facing countless complex gazes, and walked toward the gate of the Capital Martial Arts University without hesitation.

The storm. Had arrived.
