"Guo Yu? Real or fake? Did you meet him?"
"Tell me, what kind of martial arts does he use? How much is Life Energy Level?"
"How do you feel? Is there any chance?"
Guo Yu looked at the questions scrolling rapidly on the screen and tapped his fingers on the virtual keyboard. "Life Energy Level 15.5, the information on the panel is correct. It feels like it's well-deserved."
He organized his language and tried to describe it as objectively as possible. "He basically used <Basic Body Tempering Method> throughout the whole process, and occasionally used a set of explosive footwork. The defense was airtight, and I attacked with all my strength for five minutes, but I couldn't even let him breathe."
"In the end, I tried my best to fight, but he used one - um, Bow Stance Punch"? It hit me head-on."
At the end of the day, even Guo Yu himself was not sure, <Basic Body Tempering Method> seemed a bit too much.
There was silence in the group, with only the message of Guo Yu hanging alone.
A few seconds later, he added another sentence, with a lingering sigh in his voice, "He didn't use all his strength at all, he looked very relaxed."
"@Chu Shanhe, Shanhe, if you meet him, you must be careful. This guy is a bit ridiculously strong.
,"<Basic Body Tempering Method>? This----"
"It's so outrageous that you don't even want to use martial arts?"
"Totally look down on people!"
The students of Linjiang No. 1 High School were talking a lot, and the news that Xu Wuyi easily defeated the 14.3-level opponent in the first battle without giving its best, quickly spread among the circles of candidates in major high schools in the provincial capital.
News spreads faster than imagined.
Two hours later, in a heavily guarded manor-style building in the Linjiang City center, an internal meeting of the Lin Family was quietly held.
The atmosphere in the antique study room was solemn.
The current head of the Lin Family, Lin Zhen, is sitting on the rosewood chair at the head of the table.
He was about sixty years old, his hair was meticulously combed, his face was majestic, and his eyes swept over everyone present.
He is the apparent helmsman of the Lin Family, a veteran Xiantian martial artist. Although he is old and Blood and Qi is no longer at his peak, his power is still there.
Lin Liren was sitting at the bottom with a calm expression, holding a tea cup, his eyes falling on the rising water vapor, as if he didn't care about the topic that was about to be discussed.
In addition to them, there are four or five people in the study, all of whom are core figures of the Lin Family, uncles from the party in power, or outstanding figures among the younger generation who have been able to participate in Lineage affairs.
"Has the news been confirmed?" Lin Zhen spoke slowly.
A middle-aged man in charge of intelligence collection immediately responded, "Come home, basically confirmed..."
"Xu Wuyi's first opponent was Guo Yu and Life Energy Level 14.3 of Linjiang No. 1 High School, and they were defeated very cleanly. Although the process is not known, according to Guo Yu himself, Xu Wuyi did not use high-level martial arts and easily won with just <Basic Body Tempering Method>."
There were several subtle gasps in the study.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I heard that Xu Wuyi crushed a 14.3 in such a "simple" way.
A level player, it still shocked many people present.
When the results of the previous rating competition came out, they still had the last bit of luck and suspected that Xu Wuyi might just have an "inflated" rating, but now they have no excuses.
"It seems that we have underestimated him before." A gray-haired old man said in a deep voice. He is Lin Yongfeng, Lin Zhen's cousin, and has a lot of experience in Lineage. "The first place in the rating battle may be due to luck, but this battle shows its gold content."
"This son's rise is too fast and sudden. I don't believe that there is no one behind him." Another middle-aged man with a shrewd appearance said, he is Lin Liye, Lin Liren's cousin, who is mainly responsible for Lineage's external industries.
"Zhang Qiming That old fox, I'm afraid he has made preparations in advance, but now he wants to intervene, it will be difficult."
"The problem is not whether we intervene." Lin Yongfeng looked at Lin Zhen, who was in charge, with a solemn tone, "The problem is that he is in the limelight now. If he performs more and more dazzlingly in the subsequent battles, and even ---- finally overwhelms Chu Shanhe, what will the public opinion be like?"
He paused and continued, "At the beginning, we used our connections to give the Liren quota to Grandmaster Ren's disciple. Although there was no fault in the procedure, everyone in the circle knew what was going on."
"It would be fine if Xu Wuyi is unknown, but if he soars into the sky, this matter will inevitably be revealed and become an excuse to attack me, Lin Family. It is an understatement to say that I, Lin Family, do not know people well and suppress those who are behind."
Lin Liye over there waved his hand, disapprovingly. "Uncle San is too worried. He Xu Wuyi is in the limelight right now, but that doesn't mean he will have the last laugh."
"Which one of those Chu Shanhe and Shen Wei is Yi Yu's generation? He is a kid from a small town with limited resources. It's unclear how far he can go."
"In my opinion, we can just deal with it coldly. We Lin Family have never seen any big storms, so why should we care about this little public opinion? As long as we don't pick up the fight or respond, the heat will naturally dissipate."
"Is it possible that someone is really going to embarrass me Lin Family because of an immature student?"
"Establishing a career is easy to say." Another member of Lineage, who prefers to be conservative, retorted, "It is still unknown what his character is. If he is a vengeful person, he will inevitably remember what happened to me, Lin Family, when he grows up in the future."
"Instead of waiting for his wings to mature, it is better to try to ease the relationship before the deadly feud has been formed. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give trouble when the time is right."
The two parties were at loggerheads, and the atmosphere in the study seemed a bit dull.
Everyone's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Lin Liren, who was sitting aside and remained silent.
He was the party involved in this matter, and he had previously insisted on donating 500,000 in his own name as compensation.
Lin Zhen's eyes also fell on his son, and his fingers tapped lightly on the smooth tabletop. "Liren, what do you think about this matter?"
Lin Liren put down the tea cup and raised his head. There was no emotion on his face, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.
"Everything is subject to Lineage's arrangements. How you decided at the beginning will be how you deal with it now. If Lineage thinks it needs to be compensated, I will find a way to contact you; if you think it doesn't need to be ignored, I have no objection."
What he said was impeccable, and he completely pushed back the decision-making power, but the irrelevant attitude in his words still made Lin Zhen frown slightly.
Lin Zhen knows that his son has outstanding abilities and deep thoughts.
Lineage was under some pressure to give up the more "correct" choice and support Su Yueling. He had a grudge in his heart, but he always took the overall situation into consideration and would not object openly.
Lin Zhen pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
He first glanced at Lin Liye: "You should pay more attention to establishing a business and public opinion. Necessary guidance should be done, but don't make it too obvious and follow the facts."
Lin Liye nodded in agreement. "I understand, Master."
Then, Lin Zhen turned his attention to another elegant middle-aged man who had not spoken much. He was Lin Zhengwen, Lin Zhen's nephew, who was mainly responsible for maintaining Lineage's relationship with some local forces in the education system.
"Text." Lin Zhen said, "Are you still in contact with Honghe No. 1 High School's principal Zhang Qiming?
