Xu Wuyi opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
There was a trace of very faint golden red color in the breath, which instantly dissipated in the air.
The data of Life Energy Level did not change immediately, but he could feel that the total quantity and quality of Blood and Qi had improved to a certain extent.
More importantly, the operating efficiency of <Hundred Refinements Furnace> has increased by about three percent.
Don't underestimate this three percent.
Over time, there will be a significant difference in the speed of practice.
"Sure enough, the fusion of true meaning brings not only an increase in combat power, but also a deeper understanding and assistance of the essence of cultivation."
Xu Wuyi A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
His previous practice was more about following the exercise route and step by step.
But now, with the blessing of the initial fusion of true meaning, he began to be able to "see" and "fine-tune" his own Blood and Qi system, making it more in line with his own characteristics and exerting greater effectiveness.
This is a qualitative leap.
The calendar turned the last page, and before the breath of the New Year had completely dissipated, Star Martial University was once again enveloped in the warm atmosphere of Departmental Competition.
This is already the second month that Xu Wuyi has spent in Star Martial.
Compared with last year, this year's second-year competition looks almost unsuspicious to the outside world - the gap has widened too obviously.
"Xu Wuyi broke through to martial arts master half a year ahead of schedule. Life Energy Level is now level 33, right?"
"I heard from friends at the West Academy that Qin Rui and Zhao Qingwei have also broken through, but they have just passed the level 30 threshold."
"It's two or three levels behind, how can we still fight?"
"At the level of a martial artist, the gap in energy level is still a small matter, but the gap in other aspects is even greater..."
"Yes, geniuses like them Martial Artist may be able to advance two or three levels as soon as they are promoted to fight against ordinary martial arts masters."
Similar discussions circulated throughout the school.
Whether they are first-year freshmen or second-year students, they have all acquiesced to the fact that the individual first place in this second-year elite competition has basically been locked in Xu Wuyi.
The real thing to watch is whether other colleges can achieve good results in this situation.
After all, the elite competition is a three-person battle. One strong point is important, but if the strength gap between the other two is too large, they may still be killed.
As for the seniors in higher grades, they didn't pay much attention.
The rules of "Three Great Universities" are similar. Various competitions and rewards are mostly given to first and second grade students. After that, not only will they not participate in Youth Tournament, but they will also not participate in Departmental Competition.
Students mostly take on college tasks or engage in activities outside of school to earn the resources needed for spiritual practice.
Those who are still in the school are mostly students whose abilities are in the middle and lower reaches.
However, Xu Wuyi himself did not pay too much attention to these public opinions.
He just looked at the schedule calmly after the schedule was announced, and then continued his daily practice.
On the first weekend of January, Departmental Competition officially kicked off.
Like last year, the competition is divided into two parts: Team Points Competition and Elite Combat Competition.
The statistical period of Team Points Competition ends on December 31 last year, and the ranking is based on the "per capita rank points" of second-year students in each college in Star Martial Battle Net Ranking System.
The results were announced on New Year's Day.
West Academy still tops the list, but its lead has narrowed compared to the previous year - East Academy's average points have caught up a lot.
East Academy ranked second, and the gap with the West Academy has narrowed from last year's "disjunction" to an "obvious but catchable" level.
North Academy is third, and South Academy is still at the bottom.
This result was in line with most people's expectations and did not cause too many waves.
The real focus soon shifted to Elite Combat Competition.
As usual, the first grade competition will be held first.
January 8, Saturday morning.
Battle Net No. 1 Main Arena Zone, the virtual auditorium was packed with seats.
Xu Wuyi's figure appeared in the East Academy viewing area. He found a seat at the back and sat down, looking calmly at the huge alloy arena below.
"Hey, Master Xu is also here to watch the battle?"
A familiar voice came from the side.
Xu Wuyi turned around and saw Shen Wei walking over with a smile and sitting down next to him. Zhou Mingxuan also followed and nodded to Xu Wuyi.
"Let's take a look at this year's newcomers." Xu Wuyi said.
"It's time to take a look." Shen Wei rubbed his hands, "I heard that East Academy recruited a monster this year, Qiao Family's daughter... Tsk, I heard that she practiced <Hundred Refinements Furnace> to the first seven postures before College Entrance Examination?"
"The fifth form." Xu Wuyi corrected, "But she should have reached the seventh form now."
"That's scary enough." Shen Wei shook his head, "At that time, not many of us could learn B-Grade Body Tempering Method... No, there was no one else except you, a monster."
While he was talking, there was a sudden commotion in the audience.
Xu Wuyi looked up and saw the list of participants for this year's first-grade elite competition displayed on the huge light screen above the arena.
Among the three names of the East Academy, "Qiao Zhiyao" ranks first.
The lists of the West Academy, North Academy, and South Academy were also listed one after another, but no matter from the popularity of the name or from the subsequent data of Life Energy Level, there is no existence that can be compared with Qiao Zhiyao.
"Level 22.8..." Zhou Mingxuan looked at the light screen and muttered in a low voice, "This is too exaggerated. How can others fight?"
Qiao Zhiyao's Life Energy Level leads by a cliff, and the second place in the entire academy is directly separated by 2.5 levels.
Obviously among the students of the next class of Xu Wuyi, there are no particularly outstanding geniuses, and there are very few disciples with such big Lineage backgrounds as Zhao Qingwei and Qin Rui.
In fact, if it were not for Grandmaster Lin Jianyi, the two of them would not come to Star Martial University.
The game starts soon.
In the first round, East Academy played against the South Academy.
Qiao Zhiyao, as the representative of Number One from the East Academy, is the first to appear.
She was wearing a goose-yellow training uniform, with a neat ponytail, and a relaxed smile on her face, as if she was not participating in an important competition, but a game.
Her opponent was South Academy, a freshman at level Life Energy Level 20.2. He wielded a long knife and looked obviously nervous when he took the stage.
"Start!"
As soon as the referee's electronic sound fell, Qiao Zhiyao moved.
Her movements were not fast, and could even be said to be very leisurely, but every step she took had a unique rhythm.
The opponent shouted loudly and slashed with the long knife with a sound of breaking wind.
Qiao Zhiyao Don't dodge or dodge, point your right hand together like a sword, and tap lightly.
The moment the fingertips touched the blade, a scorching energy suddenly burst out!
The long knife was deflected by this pointing, and the opponent felt a scorching power rushing straight down his arm into his body, and Blood and Qi suddenly started to stir.
Qiao Zhiyao took advantage of the situation to make progress and lightly slapped the opponent's chest with his left hand.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the South Academy freshman flew out directly, drew an arc in the air, and fell heavily to the edge of the ring. He struggled twice and failed to stand up.
"East Academy, Qiao Zhiyao wins!"
The whole process takes less than ten seconds.
