Freshman Tournament
Time flies like an arrow.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
For a whole month, Lin Mu was constantly cultivating.
He mastered the three Divine Soul Secret Techniques and his own strength increased.
Besides cultivation, Lin Mu would also visit the Sacred Scripture Repository to read books and learn how to Self-Created Martial Skill and skills.
However, this path is difficult, and Lin Mu has not found a solution in a short period of time.
Lin Mu sat at home, his eyes fixed on the system interface.
Name: Lin Mu.
"Blood Qi Value: 19.9 points."
"Mental Strength: 13.4 points."
"Skills: Fist Technique (Gold Grade 13%), Movement Technique (Gold Grade 29%), Blade Technique (Gold Grade 26%)."
"Secret Art: Dragon Secret Art Fragment (Minor Success 50%), Unknown Absorption Art (Minor Success 50%), Observer's Sight (Minor Success 99%), Wind Spirit Technique (Minor Success 16%), Thunder Burst Technique (Beginner 79%)..."
"Breathing Technique: Xuanmu Breathing Technique Fragment (50% Complete)"
"Technique: Dragon Serpent Body Tempering Technique (Mastery 31%)".
"Martial Skill: Dragon Roar Fist (Perfect), Flowing Dragon Steps (Perfect), Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride (Perfect), Immovable Rock Golden Body (Perfect), Berserk Strike (Perfect), Thunder Extermination Strike (Perfect), Mental Augmentation (Perfect), Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride (Perfect), Blood Tiger Three Slashes (Great Success 41%), Dragon Flame Saber Art (Minor Success 69%)..."
"..."
"Not bad. After the Freshman Tournament ends, I should start preparing to break through to the Third-Order Martial Artist level," Lin Mu thought to himself.
He also has a breathing technique that he can exchange for, and he will exchange for it after the Freshman Tournament.
He now understands himself much better than before and knows which breathing method he should choose.
The figure walked outside.
Many people walked in one direction.
Today is the Freshman Tournament.
Many returning and new students gather together.
It can also be considered an exchange between new and returning students.
On the one hand, it helps new students better understand the college, and on the other hand, it allows senior students to find a sense of superiority.
After all, some senior students in the academy have been severely suppressed.
Surrounded by geniuses, he was completely outmatched in both cultivation and combat.
If you don't put the freshmen through some tough love, they'll all start to doubt themselves.
When Lin Mu arrived at the Azure Blue Martial Stage, there were hundreds of figures there.
They were roughly divided into two teams.
One team consists of freshmen, and the other team consists of returning students.
When Lin Mu arrived, Bai Mo and the others had already arrived.
Lin Mu looked at Bai Mo and could clearly feel that Bai Mo's blood and energy had increased significantly compared to before.
The Blood Qi Value should be at least around 16.
This increase in blood and qi is clearly abnormal.
Bai Mo smiled slightly, "How about that? Were you surprised?"
Lin Mu nodded slightly. "Your physique is quite remarkable!"
Bai Mo had a hint of pride on her face. "Of course, I have the highest talent in our family. Once my physique is fully activated, my cultivation speed will be even faster."
Lin Mu shrugged and didn't say anything more.
His gaze swept over Qian Mu and the others.
Their Blood Qi Value are mostly between 12 and 14.
This kind of cultivation speed is considered normal.
Before a martial artist reaches the Third Order, their Blood Qi Value will not increase rapidly.
After entering the Third Order, there is a noticeable increase every day.
Moreover, Qian Mu and the others were geniuses; if they were ordinary people, the first level would likely be their limit.
Take Lin Mu as an example, if it weren't for system activation...
He can at most attend a junior college.
It's very likely that he'll remain a First-Order Martial Artist for the rest of his life.
This is also the fate of many ordinary people.
Those who are able to come to Sacred Origin Martial School are all talented martial artists, and most of them will be able to enter the Third Order or Fourth Order in the future.
But for these geniuses, the Fifth Order is a watershed moment.
More than 90% of geniuses get stuck here.
Wu Yunxuan, who ranked first on the Heaven Ranking, was able to enter the Sixth Order before the age of thirty, so he was naturally an outstanding individual.
The fact that there is only one Wu Yunxuan in the entire Sacred Origin Martial School is enough to illustrate how difficult it becomes for martial artists to progress further in their cultivation.
"Wu Yunxuan's future is only a possibility of reaching the Eighth Order, even if he reaches the Sixth Order before the age of thirty!"
"The path of a martial artist increases exponentially with each step. The Fifth Order is a watershed, as is the Seventh Order, and each rank after the Seventh Order is even more extreme!"
"I read some records in the Sacred Scripture Repository before. In human history, there have been martial artists above the ninth rank. I don't know how those martial artists cultivated themselves!"
Lin Mu thought to himself.
While he was pondering, several figures arrived at the front of the square. These people were all at least at the Fifth Order of cultivation and had dignified expressions on their faces.
"Today is the Freshman Tournament, and I believe that everyone here has gained some understanding of our college over the past few days!"
"Today's competition is also a test for you, allowing the new students to better understand the strength of the senior students and encouraging you to grow..."
"In addition, all freshmen will receive 1,000 points in this competition. If they can defeat a senior student, they will receive ten times the points. Senior students who defeat freshmen will take away the 1,000 points."
"Everyone must complete at least five challenges. After completing them, you can choose to quit. As for the challenger, you can choose for yourselves."
The middle-aged man at the head addressed the crowd.
Many people, upon hearing this, showed a sense of eagerness in their eyes.
After all, freshmen can get ten times the points if they defeat seniors.
A senior student who defeats a freshman will also receive 1,000 points.
Both sides wanted to take this opportunity to earn points.
Although Lin Mu had no shortage of points, even a small amount was still something.
In future spiritual practice, points will be very important.
With a command from the middle-aged man, the Freshman Tournament began.
The group at the head walked to the side.
They went to a tall teaching building to overlook the entire area. In addition to maintaining Order, they also selected some promising talents to record.
"I wonder what promising talents will emerge in this year's Freshman Tournament?"
"In previous years' Freshman Tournament, most freshmen were brutally defeated because they were all geniuses. The senior students were older and had spent more time cultivating and training at the school, so they could naturally crush them. Except for a few prodigies who could defeat the senior students, it was almost impossible."
"I do have a few promising talents here, and there should be hope."
"Tell me about it!"
"They are mostly Recommended Student, but were delayed on the way due to various reasons. They entered the college along with these freshmen, and this is the one I have the highest hopes for!"
"Jin Chen, this person seems to possess the Dragon Elephant Physique. He entered the Second Order at the age of only fourteen, and should have already entered the Third Order by now."
"Dragon Elephant Physique! This kind of physique is extremely rare. I never expected there to be such a person among this year's freshmen!"
"Besides that, Zhou Fan is also quite good. He awakened his family bloodline, which is the Flame Emperor Bloodline. He was born with the ability to control fire, and after years of honing his skills, his strength is extraordinary!"
"That's interesting. It looks like this year's Freshman Tournament is going to be very interesting!"
