Battle, Awesome!!

"Everyone, I love fighting!"

Hearing those familiar words, Hao Xi, Zhao Tianyi, and Wang Qianjun, who knew Chen Yu well, all felt their hearts skip a beat.

"Chen Yu's gone crazy again!!!"

Chen Yu was a martial arts maniac.

Naturally, the three who had fought Chen Yu knew that well.

But they had never imagined that Chen Yu would still dare to go mad at such an important event as the Martial Exam Warm-Up Tournament!

Sure enough.

Chen Yu was relatively calm at first, but his voice gradually rose, his tone brimming with undisguised fervor!

"Everyone, I love fighting!"

"I love fighting experts, fighting geniuses, fighting anyone!"

"Duels, group brawls, arena matches, point matches, massive melees... I'll take them all."

"Hand-to-hand combat, weapon battles, endurance matches... I relish every one."

"On the ground, in the deep sea, atop satellites, within stars, beneath this vast starry sky..."

"I... look forward to every battle!"

He had made his choice clear.

Across the vast football field, Chen Yu's voice exploded with rolling echoes.

It even drowned out the loudspeakers for a time.

Madman!

An unquestionable martial arts madman!

At that moment, everyone present thought the same thing.

They could not understand how Chen Yu, merely at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer, dared to challenge everyone.

But that was how martial arts maniacs behaved—without reason or logic.

Naturally, the many representatives from martial universities in the stands also heard Chen Yu's outrageously arrogant declaration.

"Interesting, fucking interesting!" Mo Bai could not help bursting into laughter. "Now this trip wasn't for nothing. This Biohuman called Chen Yu is just too interesting!"

"An arrogant fool. Stupid beyond belief." Dai Guang's face darkened, as though he had recalled something unpleasant.

"Chen Yu... I misjudged him." Jiang Xiaoyue lowered her eyes slightly. "But if he wants to be a martial arts maniac, he needs strength as a foundation at the very least."

"Otherwise, he's nothing but a martial arts idiot."

Everyone was still immersed in Chen Yu's incomparably arrogant words, unable to come back to their senses.

But just then, the voice from the loudspeakers paused before suddenly rising in volume:

"Now, the match begins!!!"

Boom!

The moment those words fell, thunder crashed after them.

Chen Yu's body seemed to transform into lightning as he suddenly charged toward the foremost member of the Seven-Layer Alliance.

"Damn it, why me..." The man had only just raised the longsword in his hand when Chen Yu was already before him.

"Too slow. He hasn't even gathered his strength yet!" The Blade Eye spun madly, leaving nowhere for the flow of power through his opponent's body to hide.

The Thunder Extreme Saber fell, slashing directly across his chest.

Crack~

With a crisp crack from his ribs, he was sent flying several meters away.

"He Wugu, eliminated."

The man in the suit, who was also the referee for this match, swept through the air and took He Wugu away.

[Battle complete, talent copied successfully]

[Copied talent—Swordsmanship Prodigy (Yellow)]

"A Yellow-quality talent. The quality of this batch of geniuses really is excellent!!!" Chen Yu could not help laughing loudly.

Every random contestant had at least a Yellow-quality talent. This was the Martial Exam Warm-Up Tournament he had been looking forward to for so long!

Boom!

Thunder exploded again.

The Thunder Extreme Saber lost none of its power as it slashed at someone beside him who was still frozen in shock.

Another Seventh-Level Body Tempering contestant was eliminated.

Only then did everyone seem to wake up.

"Damn it, he's only at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer, yet he dares provoke all of us!"

"Get him! Take him out first!"

Even the members of the Genius Alliance exchanged glances before attacking Chen Yu in unison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderclaps rang without end.

After every peal of thunder came the saber brushing past another person.

The Thunder Extreme Saber drew upon the swiftness of lightning.

Not only was the saber fast, but its wielder was even faster!

Chen Yu's figure was like twisting lightning, constantly weaving through the crowd.

Every slash he made was incomparably precise, landing on the points where his opponents' power circulated.

Those at the Seventh-Level Body Tempering were completely unable to withstand even a single exchange.

At the same time, with the Blade Eye talent activated, he perfectly predicted everyone's movements, leaving them unable to do anything to Chen Yu for the moment.

Chen Yu was simply too fast, and his explosive power was even rarer. Any opening could be exploited by him.

They could not catch up to him at all.

"Don't worry. The Thunder Extreme Saber consumes a tremendous amount of energy. Chen Yu is using it so recklessly without regard for his stamina; he'll soon collapse from exhaustion."

Seeing that they could not take down Chen Yu in a short time, Hao Xi remained completely calm and called out a reminder.

At the same time, she quietly retreated behind the others to conserve her stamina.

She had no desire to exchange even a single move with Chen Yu in his current state. The Thunder Extreme Saber at the Mastery level was enormously powerful, and dealing with it would cost her plenty of effort as well.

Chen Yu was not important.

After all, using the Thunder Extreme Saber in such an almost frenzied manner, Chen Yu's elimination was only a matter of time.

After that, the one who could preserve more stamina would have a greater chance of winning.

A massive melee tested far more than strength alone.

Zhao Tianyi and Wang Qianjun likewise began holding back.

"Chen Yu's gone mad again. He can use the Thunder Extreme Saber seven or eight times at most. Let someone else deal with him."

At that moment, the geniuses at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer all shared the same idea: conserve their energy and fish in troubled waters.

Once Chen Yu was exhausted by the Thunder Extreme Saber, that would be the time to fight for victory.

After all, the eliminated ones were all at the Seventh-Level Body Tempering. What did that have to do with them?

It was the perfect chance to conserve their strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As if ignoring everything else, Chen Yu darted through the crowd in twisting paths, moving freely like a dragon.

Those qualified to fight him deliberately avoided doing so, only further fueling his momentum.

[Sudden Inspiration (Yellow)], [Spear Mastery (Yellow)], [Fist Mastery (Yellow)], [Eagle Eye (Yellow)], [Strong Body (Yellow)]...

A string of messages flashed before Chen Yu's eyes, and he had no time to inspect them.

He only felt continual changes taking place within his body. His vision became wider and clearer, his breathing more powerful, and his limbs stronger.

He could even vaguely sense attacks coming from his blind spots and dodge them in advance.

"Is this the effect of Sudden Inspiration?" Chen Yu guessed.

But he had no time to carefully examine each effect. His attention was intensely focused on the targets before him.

Chen Yu was actually under considerable pressure as well.

After all, he was fighting one against twenty-four, and he was only at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer. The slightest lapse in concentration could leave him surrounded.

The moment the Thunder Extreme Saber stopped, he would immediately be eliminated by everyone working together.

In the spectator stands.

"This kid is quite strong. Among these people, he's probably in the top three. It's even possible for him to take first place." Mo Bai's gaze followed Chen Yu's unpredictable movements.

"What a pity..."

"What's a pity? He's just a brainless mad dog. No matter how gifted he is, how many times can he use the Thunder Extreme Saber?" Dai Guang sneered, then gave his conclusion:

"He's just grandstanding. Does he think this will draw our attention?"

In Dai Guang's eyes, Chen Yu merely wanted to use this gimmick to display his courage and earn a contract from one of the three prestigious schools.

But that was precisely what disgusted him.

As the two spoke, they noticed that Jiang Xiaoyue was merely staring silently at the arena, with no intention of saying anything.

"Miss Jiang, what are you looking at?" Mo Bai asked curiously.

There was not much suspense to the outcome. Chen Yu was like a tightrope walker, already close to elimination.

After that, it would only be several Body Tempering Eighth Layer contestants fighting for first place. There was nothing worth watching.

Only Chen Yu had been somewhat interesting at the start. Unfortunately, it was all flash and no substance, unable to last long.

Jiang Xiaoyue's lips moved. "I'm counting how many times Chen Yu has used the Thunder Extreme Saber."

How many times?

Mo Bai and Dai Guang were both stunned at her words.

"That's right. How many times has he used it?"
