Independent Martial Arts Room (Third Update, Please Vote Monthly)

Independent Martial Arts Room (Third Update, Please Vote Monthly)

Over the past half month.

Besides training hard, Li Yuan had kept a close eye on the war in Beijiang Province.

After all, his uncle was in Beijiang Province constructing defensive facilities.

According to the news, the Human Allied Forces had been winning battle after battle, each one a resounding victory that inflicted heavy casualties on the Star Realm Creatures.

Yet Li Yuan had keenly sensed that something was off.

"Battle reports can lie, but the front line cannot." Li Yuan ate while glancing over the news playing on the electronic screen.

"Based on past experience, if our human civilization truly held the upper hand, then after weathering the first wave of attacks, we would swiftly organize a great army and groups of martial artists to charge into the depths of the Star Realm..." Li Yuan's science grades were average, but his liberal arts grades were quite good.

He had done well in both history and geography.

Especially modern history.

"This war in the Luo Bu Hai Star Realm has gone on for half a month, yet the front line seems to have been repeatedly locked in a tug-of-war around several major entrances to the Star Realm." Li Yuan's eyes were filled with worry.

What did that mean?

The Human Allied Forces had been unable to push them back at all!

The war was probably extremely brutal.

"I hope Uncle can return safely." Li Yuan thought to himself. These days, his uncle would occasionally call or message him, telling him not to worry.

Whoosh!

"Old Zhou, Yan Zhou, I'm done eating. I'll be heading off first." Li Yuan picked up his lunch box and prepared to walk toward the tray return station.

"Brother Yuan, wait for us so we can go to the Martial Arts Room together." Zhou Qi called out. "We're almost done."

"I'm going to the Elite Building. We're not headed the same way." Li Yuan lowered his voice.

Guanshan District No.1 High School covered a vast area. Its buildings were divided into four types: the Cultural Building, Martial Arts Building, Office Building, and Elite Building.

The so-called Elite Building consisted of three enormous Martial Arts Rooms and dozens of independent Martial Arts Rooms.

It was exclusively for the students of the three Elite Classes, from first to third year.

There were fewer than two hundred students in total.

"You're going to the Elite Building?" Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou did not react at first.

"Are you looking for someone? Wan Xiao?" Yan Zhou asked in confusion.

"I'll be training over there from now on." After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan said, "The school approved an independent Martial Arts Room for me. I'll cultivate there during martial arts self-study from now on."

Xu Ban only came to teach martial arts class once every two days.

The school did not publicize scholarships, so no one would know unless they were told. Li Yuan would not mention it just to draw attention.

But an independent Martial Arts Room? It was right there. Word would spread sooner or later, so Li Yuan simply chose to say it in advance.

"An independent Martial Arts Room? Holy shit!"

"For Brother Yuan?"

"Xu Ban definitely approved it!"

"Brother Yuan is awesome!" Yan Zhou, Zhou Qi, and the dozen or so boys instantly erupted, shouting excitedly one after another.

Quite a few nearby students immediately turned to look.

"Keep it down. I'm only telling you guys, so don't spread it around." Li Yuan lowered his voice.

"Got it."

"Brother Yuan, we want to check it out. I've never even been inside an independent Martial Arts Room."

"An independent Martial Arts Room... I never even dared dream about one." The boys lowered their voices, but their curiosity remained.

They were not jealous of Li Yuan. Even if a few of them had thoughts in their hearts, they would not be foolish enough to show them.

After all, their small group of more than a dozen boys vaguely regarded Li Yuan as their leader.

Besides, they all knew that Li Yuan's martial arts grades were excellent. His raw-score ranking had long been in the top ten of the year.

"I've never been there either," even more people shouted.

"Alright, I'll take you guys later when there's a chance." Li Yuan smiled. "But not today. It's my first time going there, so I need to familiarize myself with it first."

Everyone nodded in succession.

The Elite Building was separated from the third-year Martial Arts Building by a small sports field, with the Office Building in between, making it relatively independent.

Thus, this area was very quiet.

Lush trees lined both sides of the road, and the breeze that brushed against him felt pleasantly cool.

"The Elite Building." Li Yuan soon arrived beneath the building. With a sweep of his gaze, he saw that its decorations were rather antiquated.

A statue stood before the building.

"Dongfang Ji." Li Yuan recognized the statue at once.

The strongest person in human civilization, the strongest person in Xia Country, the founder of the Starfire Martial Hall... and also the first peerless martial artist to walk out alive from the center of a nuclear explosion.

He was Li Yuan's most admired idol.

"Martial Dao is Me." Li Yuan walked closer. That famous saying of his was engraved beneath the statue.

One in the afternoon was precisely the time for students to return to the Martial Arts Rooms for cultivation self-study, so quite a few students were coming and going.

However, no one paid much attention to Li Yuan.

The first-years assumed Li Yuan was a second- or third-year student, while the third-years assumed he was a second-year student.

Perhaps Li Yuan had a bit of a reputation among the third-years, but only in the sense that "his name was known."

Other than his classmates, students from other classes rarely recognized him.

Suddenly.

"Li Yuan." A somewhat delighted voice rang out, and Li Yuan turned to look.

A burly figure like a great bear, dressed in a martial arts uniform, came up the steps.

"Wan Xiao, long time no see." Li Yuan smiled and waved.

The newcomer was none other than Wan Xiao, who had transferred into the Elite Class after awakening his Martial Arts Spirituality.

"It has been a long time." Wan Xiao smiled.

Though they attended the same school, they were in different classes, so even meeting once was difficult.

"How's the Elite Class?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Wan Xiao nodded. "The Advanced Cultivation Method really is extraordinary. The students in the class are all highly capable, and sparring with each other is very effective..."

"You'd better work hard. Don't let me surpass you on the next exam." Wan Xiao said half-jokingly.

"I'll be waiting." Li Yuan smiled. Their relationship was good, so he would not take it as a provocation.

"Right, I haven't asked yet. What are you doing at the Elite Building?" Wan Xiao asked in confusion. "Looking for someone?"

"Looking for a room." Li Yuan smiled. "How do I get to Martial Arts Room 4011?"

"4011?" Wan Xiao froze. "The fourth floor? That's where the third-years' independent Martial Arts Rooms are, but Martial Arts Room 11 hasn't been opened, has it? There's no one there."

"There wasn't anyone before." Li Yuan smiled. "Now that I'm here, there is."

Wan Xiao's pupils contracted slightly. He was no fool, and he could not help asking, "Your independent Martial Arts Room?"

Li Yuan nodded with a smile. "It's my first time here. Show me the way."

Outside Independent Martial Arts Room 4011 on the fourth floor.

Only after watching Li Yuan unlock the door through facial recognition did Wan Xiao completely believe that what Li Yuan had said was true.

The shock on his face remained impossible to hide.

"Impressive. Xu Ban approved it?" Wan Xiao stood at the entrance to the Martial Arts Room and sighed.

Li Yuan smiled.

"That makes sense." Wan Xiao said. "Other than not having awakened Martial Arts Spirituality, your raw-score results do indeed qualify you to be here."

Deep down, Wan Xiao greatly admired Li Yuan.

Standing inside the Martial Arts Room, Li Yuan looked around. It was about one hundred and fifty square meters and spotlessly clean.

He pulled open the curtains.

Sunlight spilled in, making the room bright.

A Fist Strength Testing Ground, a Life Blood Detection Instrument, a projector, cameras... there was even a Virtual Network Pod.

Other than a speed-testing track due to space constraints, it had every technological device one could want.

"From today onward, this is my independent Martial Arts Room?" There was a trace of joy deep in Li Yuan's eyes.

With an independent Martial Arts Room, no one would disturb him, so his training efficiency would naturally be higher.

Wan Xiao stood at the entrance, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes as well.

An independent Martial Arts Room? He did not actually care about that!

The Martial Arts Room at his home was no worse than the school's independent Martial Arts Rooms.

What Wan Xiao cared about was the honor.

Suddenly.

"Wan Xiao, what are you doing there? Who told you to open the door to Martial Arts Room 4011?" A cold shout came from the end of the corridor.
