Lu Lingyun looks to be about fifty years old, with an ordinary face and reserved temperament, and is wearing a simple gray cloth.
If he didn't know his identity, he would probably be regarded as an ordinary middle-aged man when walking on the street.
But only those with keen senses can detect the unfathomable aura around him that is vaguely consistent with the nature of heaven and earth.
He is the contemporary principal of Star Martial University, one of the top masters of Federation, and a disciple of the late Old Principal Xia.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the window, looking at the swaying bamboo forest outside the window with his hands behind his hands, listening to He Yifeng's slightly excited report.
"Principal, this is the situation. Xu Wuyi, this kid, has already broken through to the realm of martial arts on his own in less than a year since he entered school."
"With a solid foundation and a calm mind, I, Star Martial, am truly a rare talent and beauty in recent years!"
He Yifeng's tone was full of pride.
Lu Lingyun slowly turned around with a gentle smile on his face, "Yifeng, please be patient. I already know about this matter."
He Yifeng was stunned. "You already know?"
Lu Lingyun nodded slightly. "Anna When updating the core database, this kind of important information will be synchronized to me. It is indeed rare to be promoted to a martial arts master in the first grade."
There was approval in his eyes.
"As far as I know, there are no such students among the Black Stone Academy and Starry Sky Martial Institute this year. It is luck and fate that I, Star Martial, can get this child."
His tone was calm, but He Yifeng could feel the principal's inner joy.
At Lu Lingyun's level, the school's honor and Federation's training of future strong men have long been integrated into the flesh and blood.
It is gratifying to see outstanding juniors rising to prominence.
"Principal, do you think it is necessary to pay some special attention or divert resources?" He Yifeng asked tentatively.
If such a genius can win the favor of the principal, even just one or two words of advice will be of infinite use.
Lu Lingyun pondered for a moment, but then shook his head. "There is no need to be deliberate. If a tree is as beautiful as a tree in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Excessive attention can sometimes lead to flattery."
"Let him grow at his own pace. The school will not be short of the resources it should have. This time he must participate in Youth Tournament."
"No surprise, he must be the number one freshman in Federation. The points reward given to him will be enough for a while."
He paused, looked at He Yifeng, and said in a more solemn tone, "Yifeng, you are the dean of the East Academy. This child is under your courtyard, so you need to exercise caution."
"It is necessary to give people enough space for growth, but also to ensure that they do not take detours. Character is sometimes more important than talent.
He Yifeng looked serious and responded respectfully, "Yes, principal, I understand."
He understood what the principal meant.
The more astonishing the talent Xu Wuyi shows, the more they, the teachers, are overjoyed to be, the more cautious they must be to avoid overpowering others, and to prevent their mentality from being unbalanced due to the sudden increase in strength.
Because this kind of thing has happened before.
More than sixty years ago, Federation had a super genius who was born as a commoner. He became a master before the age of forty and was hailed as one of the most promising candidates to achieve martial arts Celestial Person.
But he experienced ups and downs in his early years, and after becoming a grandmaster, he began to take crazy revenge on the individuals or Lineage forces that had bullied and oppressed him in the past.
Due to his status as a grandmaster and his potential, most people within Federation chose to turn a blind eye to this, and the result was an even bigger commotion.
The last one had a big fight with an old grandmaster, and thus Federation was born. Martial Artist was the only grandmaster who died in civil strife since the establishment of Federation.
Later, the grandmaster felt guilty and no longer carried out "liquidation", and directly stayed at Astral Battlefield, but he was also plagued by inner demons because of this.
Since then, his martial arts has not made much progress for more than twenty years, until he died on the battlefield.
This incident back then was even one of the triggers for the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam reform.
He Yifeng and other master-level figures could be considered as those who experienced it at that time, so they can be said to have fresh memories.
"Well, let's go. Youth Martial Dao Tournament is coming soon, let him get ready." Lu Lingyun waved his hand and turned his attention to the bamboo forest outside the window again, returning to his unruffled state.
He Yifeng bowed, saluted, and quietly exited the small building.
Xu Wuyi slowly exited Top-tier Virtual Pod, and his consciousness completely returned to reality.
The simulated ambient light on the inner wall of the warehouse gradually dimmed, reflecting his slightly pensive face.
Just now, Battle Net finally reached the sixth rank.
The sixth dan is the level of martial arts masters, and it is basically the last and more popular dans of Battle Net.
By the time you get to the higher 8th and 9th dan levels, there are basically not many people who will match them in real time.
However, the joy of promotion did not last long.
--
Because after he was promoted to the sixth dan, it can be said that he lost more than he won.
If the system hadn't taken into account the fact that he had just been promoted to martial arts, and most of his matched opponents were in their early 30s, the winning rate would have been even lower.
"The battles between martial artists are really completely different."
Xu Wuyi walked to the center of Cultivation Room, sat down cross-legged, and reviewed the battle just now.
His foundation is undoubtedly extremely strong.
When he first joined the martial arts, Life Energy Level was stable at level 30.1, but Blood and Qi's majestic concentration and physical strength were not inferior to those of veterans who had been immersed in the martial arts stage for a year and a half.
In a head-on confrontation, Blood and Qi collided, and he even vaguely had the upper hand.
But the problem lies elsewhere.
One is martial arts.
His <Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Spear> has reached Minor Achievement. At the Martial Artist stage, he is a powerful weapon and can suppress players at the same level.
But at the martial arts level, everyone's combat skill levels have improved. The B-level combat skill Minor Achievement can only be regarded as standard equipment, at an average or upper level, and has lost its decisive advantage in the past.
The second, and most important reason, is that he has not yet fully adapted to the martial artist's unique duel style.
In addition to the physical confrontation of weapons, it has become normal for Blood and Qi to be deployed externally and controlled by Divine Intent's will to carry out medium and short-range interference, invasion, and even direct attacks.
The opponents may condense Blood and Qi into blades, or transform into palm prints and fists, and bombard them from the air, with many changes.
And he was quite unfamiliar with this.
<Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Spear> focuses more on close combat and willpower impact. There is a lack of effective responses and countermeasures to this flexible Blood and Qi external attack method.
"You can't just rely on marksmanship."
Xu Wuyi realized that he must master one as soon as possible, or develop his own Blood and Qi external means.
On Youth Tournament, he will definitely have to fight against other martial artists.
He sank his consciousness into his mind again and carefully read the key points of the exercises in the <Hundred Refinements Furnace>Minor Achievement stage.
Previously, his energy was mainly focused on [Heart Fire Refining Spirit]Visualization Method, focusing on polishing his spirit and stabilizing his realm.
Regarding the offensive method, I only had a cursory glance and did not study it in depth.
At this moment, he re-examined it with a clear purpose, and a piece of content that he had temporarily skipped emerged clearly.
[Blood Burning Seal].
