Xu Wuyi was surrounded by everyone's enthusiasm and felt a little uncomfortable, but he still responded to everyone's congratulations one by one.
He could feel that in addition to sincere congratulations, the students' attitudes were also more solemn.
"Okay, okay, stop crowding around Xu Wuyi, let him take a breather." Yu Peiling smiled and came to Xu Wuyi's rescue, and she walked to Xu Wuyi's side.
"Now you are really famous Federation. My communicator was almost blown up just now. Many friends from other places are asking about you."
As soon as she finished speaking, her communicator lit up again.
She glanced down, with a hint of surprise on her face, and then smiled at Xu Wuyi, "Look, here we come again. It's Linjiang, Chu Shanhe, Shen Wei, they asked me if you were here, and they all wanted to come and see our first freshman."
Xu Wuyi was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, even Linjiang's friends were alarmed.
Zeng Bonan smiled and said, "This is a good thing, let them come. Let them see the genius that we Dongjiang Province has produced!"
Not long after, light and shadow flickered at the entrance to the rest area, and a figure appeared first.
The person who came was tall, with a stern face, and a knife on his waist. He was none other than Shen Wei. He stepped forward to congratulate him carelessly.
"It's just luck." Xu Wuyi said modestly and asked, "How is your ranking?"
"More than eight hundred, we didn't qualify for the semi-finals." Shen Wei reported the number and said helplessly.
In fact, this ranking is an extremely good result for a freshman who has just entered the school, which is enough to prove his "Seven Kill Saber" edge.
While the two were talking, light and shadow flashed again at the entrance. This time more people came in, and the leader was none other than Chu Shanhe.
Compared with College Entrance Examination, Chu Shanhe's temperament seems to be more reserved, but there is a faint hint of fatigue between his eyebrows.
Behind him were several young geniuses who had met several times in Linjiang before, all of whom were outstanding in other Dongjiang Province cities.
Chu Shanhe spotted Xu Wuyi in the center of the crowd at a glance, with a warm smile on his face, and walked straight over.
"Xu Wuyi, congratulations." Chu Shanhe said in a sincere tone, "You are a first-year martial artist who ranked first in the preliminary competition. Now your name is resounding to the younger generation of Federation."
"Excellent." Xu Wuyi faced Chu Shanhe with a very solemn attitude.
He still remembers the other party's suggestions about points and resources after College Entrance Examination ended, which had a profound impact on him.
"It's not an award, it's well deserved." Chu Shanhe waved his hand, and several people behind him also cast curious glances at Xu Wuyi and whispered.
Xu Wuyi looked at Chu Shanhe and said seriously, "Thank you for your original suggestion. Now it seems that the school points are indeed enough, and it is even safer than accepting those seemingly generous subsidies from the outside world."
This is his heartfelt thanks. If it weren't for Chu Shanhe's reminder, Lin Family and Qin Family's resources might have been accepted by him.
And I am afraid that even he himself at that time could not have imagined that he could be promoted to the realm of martial arts master in just one year.
After reaching the stage of martial arts, even if Qin Family is willing to pay 20 million Federal Credit a year, it will not help him that much. This transaction is already a huge loss.
Hearing this, Chu Shanhe smiled slightly, as if he had expected it. "It's good if it's useful. Three Great Universities has a deep internal accumulation, and never skimps on resources for students with real potential. External funding involves too much, which is not good."
When he said this, his tone was calm, but Xu Wuyi was keenly aware that the flow of Blood and Qi around Chu Shanhe seemed not as smooth and smooth as usual, with a faint sense of obscurity.
Combined with the unconcealable tiredness between his brows, Xu Wuyi felt something in his heart.
He is not someone who likes to pry into other people's privacy, but he and Chu Shanhe are sympathetic to each other, so he directly asked, "Chu Shanhe, I see that your breath seems a little ---- not stable. Are you encountering some problems in your cultivation?"
Chu Shanhe was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Xu Wuyi's observation to be so keen.
Immediately, Chu Shanhe smiled, the smile was still gentle, but it had a somewhat complicated meaning.
He raised his hand and waved it gently, explaining, "It's nothing serious, it's just that I'm studying a set of ancient exercises. I just started Entry Level not long ago, and I've only scratched the surface. The operation of Blood and Qi is not completely satisfactory, and it still needs some time to consolidate."
He spoke in an understatement, but Xu Wuyi could feel that things might not be that simple.
Ancient exercises cause unstable breath just after Entry Level?
With Chu Shanhe's foundation and talent, it would be impossible for him to experience such an obvious decline in his condition with ordinary Kung Fu techniques.
However, since Chu Shanhe is unwilling to talk in depth, Xu Wuyi will not ask ignorantly.
Everyone has their own path and secrets.
"That's it." Xu Wuyi said thoughtfully.
"Thank you for your concern. I have my own sense of responsibility." Chu Shanhe nodded, gently dropped the topic, and asked, "Have you set a goal for tomorrow's rematch?"
Xu Wuyi's attention was also drawn back, and he muttered, "The preliminary ranking is just the ticket, the semi-finals are the real beginning. There are so many strong opponents, I can only do my best, and one more fight is a game to accumulate experience."
For players who are not that strong, luck plays a big part in the semi-finals.
In addition to the 32 seeded players, those who are unlucky and ranked 33rd in terms of hard power may also be eliminated in the first round.
It can be said that this competition system is quite cruel, and only the final champion is the most valuable.
Shen Wei interjected from the side. "With your current strength, as long as you don't run into those people at the front in advance, it shouldn't be a big problem to get through the first few rounds."
"I hope so." Xu Wuyi said solemnly.
In the rest area, young people from Honghe and Linjiang gathered together in a warm atmosphere.
Xu Wuyi was in it, feeling the support from his hometown companions, and his heart was filled with warmth.
But at the same time, Chu Shanhe's seemingly peaceful but hidden dangers were like a tiny thorn in his heart.
He had a vague hunch that there might be something hidden behind Chu Shanhe's so-called "research on ancient techniques".
He suddenly seemed to have thought of something and his light was slightly out of focus. He had already called up the preliminary results and checked the ranking of Chu Shanhe.
As he expected, Chu Shanhe was ranked 473rd and entered the semi-finals!
This year, there are only forty semi-final places reserved for Martial Artist students, which is less than in previous years. Chu Shanhe's ranking is already quite high!
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the exclusive channel Star Martial Battle Net Youth Tournament was opened again.
After six hours of fierce competition and screening in yesterday's preliminary round, the list of the top 500 players in the rankings has been finalized. Today is the more brutal semi-final stage, with single defeat elimination and one game to determine the outcome. There is no luck left.
