Chapter 113: 107: Immortal Ruins Civilization (Extra update for 60 percent votes of the Golden Alliance)

President Li knew that Li Yuan's skills were very profound.

His expectations for Li Yuan were also very high.

In April, Li Yuan scored over 300 points above Fallen Star on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, which was clear evidence of his prowess.

However, the match-up duels of Kunlun Nine Mountains and the Starry Skies Fighting Network were a bit different.

One could say that the matches on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, to some extent, involved elements of luck, so when scores were close, it was difficult to say that the party with the lower score had a lesser level of skill.

But Kunlun Nine Mountains? It was more akin to a promotional competition in the Starry Skies Fighting Network.

Strong meant strong, weak meant weak.

Generally speaking, a slightly larger gap in scores indicated a clear difference in skill levels.

And Li Yuan, he actually stormed into the Fifth Mountain?

"1300 points, meaning he has stormed into the Fifth Mountain and even killed three guardians, even more formidable than Yan Jing?" President Li marveled silently, "His age, among this batch of freshmen, belongs to the youngest few."

The youngest in age, but the highest in achievement?

With a bit of thought.

"Let's have a closer look." President Li reached out to tap the light screen, and quickly, the light screen's projection displayed Li Yuan's battle scenes on the Fifth Mountain.

As the vice president.

He had the authority to observe students of his institute fighting for the Seventh Mountain and below.

After watching it several times over.

Whoosh!

In the light screen, every time, Li Yuan burst forth suddenly, emitting a terrifying Spear Light that immediately caused a Star Realm Creature to die.

"Dawn Piercing the Clouds? The third move of the Stellar Spear Technique?" President Li finally confirmed his suspicions, growing ever more astonished.

The "Stellar Spear Technique" was a Second Rank Spear Technique Manual with great renown.

President Li, too, had observed and practiced it for a while and was very familiar with it.

"To be able to fully execute even the third move, if he continues to practice like this, in at most a few months, he could completely touch the threshold of Fourth Level High Rank Spear Technique." President Li muttered to himself.

Logically, the further one progressed in skill, the more difficult it was to improve.

Even reaching a certain bottleneck, being stuck in a level for ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime without being able to break through, was quite normal, and this was the reason why Prime Warriors were rare.

"But Li Yuan's Spear Technique."

"If the time scale is extended, from his first year in high school, it has been getting faster and faster, the rate of progress becoming more exaggerated as time goes on." President Li secretly marveled, "After entering the Fourth Level, there wasn't the slightest sign of slowing down."

This was indeed an incredible thing.

"It must be partly because his spiritual power is getting stronger, but more importantly, his natural talent for Spear Technique is continuously revealing itself." President Li speculated.

"Perhaps!"

"The plan could be moved up a bit, allowing him to participate in the global university martial arts competition a year in advance." President Li thought privately, "At least by next February, he should qualify to participate in the virtual competition."

"Wait until after he officially enrolls tomorrow, then have a chat with him."

Having thought everything through.

President Li suddenly smiled, "Heh heh, I indeed picked up a treasure."

"With Li Yuan here, for the next few years, I don't have to worry too much about the group competitions of this class."

"I guess."

"The other old geezers must be cursing me," President Li said with a smile.

Cursing? He didn't care at all!

On the contrary, President Li was very pleased at the moment. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

...

Evergreen Building, an exclusive building for faculty and students of the Eight Institutes. In an office on the tenth floor, an argument was bursting forth.

"Get lost."

"It's my fault for not signing Li Yuan?" President Zhao, with a burly figure, sneered, "You two have the ability to sign Li Yuan yourselves."

"Old Zhao, it's not that we blame you," said a tall woman dressed in black, frowning, "It's just a pity, since you were the first to contact him, yet President Li snatched the opportunity from you."

"If we had signed Li Yuan, the 'guidance points' we've accumulated would have risen by a large margin."

"Yes!"

"Such a good talent, if we had been outcompeted by the Sixth Institute, we would have accepted it," another rotund elder shook his head, "But to lose without even contesting, I truly can't accept it."

"Hmph!"

"Can't accept it? What's the use of that?" President Zhao scoffed coldly, "In any case, Li Yuan has already signed with the Sixth Institute, do as you please."

He spread his arms, his legs propped up in an "arrogant leg" position, gazing out into the beyond.

The woman in black and the rotund elder exchanged glances, both feeling helpless.

The three of them were the vice presidents of the Eighth Institute.

The teachers of Kunlun Martial University were divided into ordinary teachers, vice presidents, presidents, vice principals, and principals.

As for ordinary teachers, there were several hundreds throughout the university, all at least at the 25th level as Prime Warriors, often teaching students from several institutes at the same time.

Vice presidents and presidents, on the other hand, focused specifically on students from their own institutes.

The students' achievements were closely linked to the 'guidance points' they received.

"Let's not talk about it anymore."

"After all, he's just a youngster, no matter how formidable, he won't have a big impact on us. Since we've missed the chance, there's no way to recover it," the woman in black shook her head, "President Zhao, I'm planning to enter the Kunlun Star Realm again to hunt the Thundercloud Flying Dragon, are you willing to go?"

"To hunt the Thundercloud Flying Dragon? The one in the Mo Yan Mountain Range." President Zhao, who had been sprawled in his chair, suddenly sat up.

"Yes!" the woman in black nodded.

President Zhao glanced at the woman in black and frowned, "Just the two of us? Looking to die?"

"I've invited Koreya from Europa." The woman in black smiled, "He will also bring along two level 29 Prime Warriors."

"Five level 29 Prime Warriors? Including one Koreya?" President Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, "Give me some time to think."

"The Kunlun Star Realm is fraught with danger, the Immortal Ruins Civilization is overwhelmingly powerful, one of the highest-ranking foreign civilizations known to our human civilization, with the Kunlun Star Realm subtly under its control."

"Even if we disguise ourselves, it's easy to go awry. Hunting a Second Rank Perfection Thundercloud Flying Dragon is not easy," President Zhao nodded and then shook his head again.

He appeared to be weighing something.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, "Let's do it, but I must invite Senior Brother Five to join us. With six people working together it's more reliable, and we can also prevent Koreya from playing tricks."

"Agreed."

"As you know, I only want the Thundercloud Dragon Spine; the rest of the loot you guys can divide," the woman in black said with a smile.

...

By eight o'clock in the evening.

When the scores of the eight major institutes in the entrance competition were finally locked in,

the entire east wing of Xuanwu Tower plunged into a wave of jubilation. More than two hundred newcomers of the Sixth Institute, over ninety percent had come over, celebrating together.

"First!"

"Senior Brother, awesome!" These freshmen were indeed excited.

To know, most of the freshmen had reported to the school on the first or second day.

Whether for honor or rewards, students of the eight major institutes would secretly compete with each other.

Teachers of the school would also encourage such competition.

This afternoon, most of the institutes' freshmen had already given up, the gap too difficult to bridge.

I never expected it.

In the last half-day, twists and turns occurred, and Li Yuan could be said to have single-handedly secured first place.

An astonishing lead like a sheer cliff.

One battle significantly raised Li Yuan's prestige among the freshmen of the Sixth Institute to an amazing degree.

"So strong."

"He alone is worth thirty of us."

"Thirty? I suspect he could take on a hundred of us." The freshmen from the Third and Seventh Institutes felt helpless.

The institute ranking first would award each freshman 20,000 Blue Star Coins.

The institute ranking second would award each person 10,000 Blue Star Coins.

The institutes ranking beyond that would not have any group rewards.

Of course, the top hundred students in the individual rankings would all receive personal awards.

Who could have expected that such a monster would suddenly emerge from the Sixth Institute among the hundreds of freshmen from both institutes?

Regardless.

Following this battle, Li Yuan's fame had completely surpassed that of Wu Luo and Yang Hong.

He imperceptibly became the top freshman of this year's class at Kunlun Martial University.

Most importantly.

It was Li Yuan who created a new historical record in the entrance competition, becoming the new number one in history.

It was foreseeable that, as time passed, today's battle would quickly become well-known among the whole school's upperclassmen.

"Could he be stronger than Senior Brother Jin?"

"Hard to say."

"His physical quality is definitely not there yet, but with his high level of skill, it wouldn't be strange for him to catch up to Senior Brother Jin by junior or senior year." The upperclassmen in the venue discussed among themselves.

They had quickly elevated Li Yuan to a level on par with Jin Huguo.

...

It was after nine o'clock in the evening.

Li Yuan and other freshmen from the Sixth Institute said their goodbyes one after another and followed Gu Qiánghàn, An Nong, and a few others back to the villa area.

Outside villa No. 61032.

"Big Senior Brother, I'll be going now." An Nong waved to Li Yuan and said with a smile, "I will organize everyone. When we vote for Big Senior Brother tomorrow, there will definitely be no dissenting voices."

"I think we still need to respect the wishes of all the students," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Big Senior Brother, this is the students' will," An Nong assured, patting his chest.

Then, An Nong left.

"Big Senior Brother." Gu Qiánghàn looked at Li Yuan with a grin.

"Gu Qiang, just call me by my name." Li Yuan said rather helplessly, "It was you who took the lead today and made such a big scene."

"What big scene?"

"Just a little fuss." Gu Qiánghàn shook his head, "I'm doing this for your own good. Becoming Big Senior Brother gets you an additional 1 million Blue Star Coins every half a year."

"That's not a lot, but it adds up," Gu Qiánghàn continued, "and there are some hidden perks."

"1 million Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan was a bit surprised.

That was quite a lot.

After all, it was just a title.

"Calling you Big Senior Brother, I'm really not used to it."

"How about this, like your high school classmates, at a disadvantage, I'll call you Brother Yuan," Gu Qiánghàn said as if he was at a great loss, "Even though you're younger, you're stronger than me, I can accept that."

"Okay." Li Yuan smiled and didn't insist anymore.

He understood Gu Qiánghàn's temperament.

"In the Xuanwu Tower, you've already done your identity verification."

"Go ahead and set up the facial and fingerprint dual authentication when you enter," Gu Qiánghàn pointed to the villa behind Li Yuan, "All of the villa's functions can be added to your smart wristband."

"It's quite similar to the villa in the Starfire Lakeside community..." Gu Qiánghàn went into detail.

"Alright," Li Yuan had been whisked off to the Xuanwu Tower when he arrived at the school.

He was still unclear about many things.

Thanks to Gu Qiánghàn's thorough introduction, Li Yuan now understood much more.

"Alright, call me if you need anything." Gu Qiánghàn waved his hand. His place was just next door.

Li Yuan watched him leave.

...

Entering the villa, Li Yuan followed Gu Qiánghàn's advice and various instructions to quickly set up all the rooms to his liking.

Luckily, it was the era of smart technology, which made everything convenient.

It was past ten o'clock at night.

He also made a video call with his aunt and uncle.

"Don't worry."

"Everything is quite nice at Kunlun Martial University," Li Yuan reassured them, "Aunt and uncle, look, I'm living in a detached villa."

When away from home, it's still best to speak of good things to completely put elders' minds at ease.

After hanging up the video call.

"Past ten o'clock?" Li Yuan looked up at the starry sky, "In Jiang City, the haze and light pollution are severe, making it hard to see stars."

"Kunlun University is actually situated in the suburbs where the air quality is really good."

"That's good."

"From now on, the night sky I see at three in the morning will be that of Mount Kunlun." Li Yuan smiled.

Turning around, Li Yuan went down to the Martial Arts Room to begin today's practice.

Securing first place among the new students at Kunlun Martial University? Li Yuan didn't care about that, nor did he see it as any glory.

Nationwide, there were fewer than a hundred of his contemporaries who could achieve unity of body and mind.

The vast majority had gone to the three top martial arts schools.

The few remaining, such as Wu Luo and Yang Hong, were basically at Initial Fourth Level.

And Li Yuan?

In March, his Spear Technique had been far inferior to Tian Dazhuang's Sword Technique.

But nearly four months had passed, and after two mental transformations, his progress in Spear Technique was terrifying.

He might not even be weaker than Tian Dazhuang anymore.

Under such circumstances, if he still couldn't secure first place among the freshmen at Kunlun Martial University with a sheer cliff advantage, that truly would have been strange.

"My opponents have never been the freshmen at Kunlun Martial University."

"But rather the top talents of the three top martial arts schools."

"And even further, the top talents of the Seven Great Planets of human civilization." Li Yuan was filled with desire.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan calmed his mind and began his first day of practice since arriving at Kunlun Martial University.
