Martial Arts are Too Involuted, and If You are Not Careful, You Can Quickly Pass the High Martial Arts

147: Ye Chen is right! A battle to seize the king’s identity!“At the same time, the ranking of Martial Arts Academy also determines the priority of the academy in selecting students for the College Entrance Examination in the following year.”

Listening to Yang Zhen’s words, Ye Chen also gained a general understanding of the so-called Martial Arts Academy Tournament.

“Actually, I think this Martial Arts Academy Tournament is meaningless. After all, for my Star River Academy, every tournament is first place, completely without any challenge.”

Yang Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils began to shift.

Ye Chen first moved his mind and summoned the System panel.

【name: Ye Chen】

【cultivation: Undying Martial Artist (12/100)】

【White Tiger Breathing Technique: Beginner (29/100)】

【Divine Swiftness: Beginner (5/100)】

【Star Sword Art: (99/100)】

【Nameless Sword Art (Incomplete): Second-Order (2/100)】

【Sword Intent Domain: Fourth-Order (2/100)】

The proficiency he gained in the Void Realm battlefield had now all been added to the panel. Ye Chen was quite satisfied, but the only thing that made Ye Chen a little dissatisfied was the Star Sword Art!

“The monthly exam is over, and the Star Sword Art is still stuck in the process of evolution. The emotions needed to evolve the Star Sword Art to Ninth-Order... are a bit too many!”

“Martial Arts Academy Tournament...”

A bright light instantly flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes.

He looked at Li Chengfeng and quickly asked, “Old Li, are there... a lot of people in this Martial Arts Academy Tournament?”

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng immediately understood Ye Chen’s thoughts and said with a half-smile, “Of course there are many. All the Martial Arts Academies in Great Xia combined, there are thousands of participants alone.”

“Plus the audience, and the live broadcast...”

“I imagine... even if it’s not as big as the College Entrance Examination, it’s not far off.”

“Most importantly... the Martial Arts Academy Tournament also has high-ranking officials from various Martial Arts Academies, as well as high-ranking officials from the Martial Alliance, all of whom are at least Seventh-Order and above.”

As he spoke, Li Chengfeng blew on the tea leaves in his teacup.

Li Chengfeng’s words immediately made Ye Chen’s breathing become a little rapid.

Many people!

High quality!

Ye Chen instantly grasped these keywords from Li Chengfeng’s words.

And these... are exactly what the System needs!

“Go! Why not go!”

Ye Chen suddenly said loudly, startling Yang Zhen, who was digging his ear beside him.

Yang Zhen looked at Ye Chen suspiciously: “No, what’s so good about going? You’re already Seventh-Order, and the highest among those freshmen is only Fifth-Order. Even a Sixth-Order appears only once every ten years.”

“Aren’t you just going for a pure dimensionality reduction strike? What’s the point?”

Yang Zhen was a little puzzled.

Ye Chen said righteously, “How can you call it a dimensionality reduction strike? That sounds so bad!”

“You also said that in these Martial Arts Academies, even a Sixth-Order expert only appears once every ten years. Shouldn’t we give them some pressure? Staying in the Martial Arts Academy all day and not Cultivating properly?”

“I say, Old Li is right, we have to give them some pressure!”

“I’m doing this for the sake of the entire Great Xia, okay? Do you think everyone is like you, only caring about showing off?”

As he spoke, Ye Chen even rolled his eyes at Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen’s eyes immediately widened.

As the king of showing off at Star River Academy, he understood Ye Chen’s thoughts just from his words.

This guy... is clearly going there to show off!

If it weren’t for Ye Chen, Yang Zhen would really be too lazy to go to this Martial Arts Academy Tournament, because for him, it was simply too easy.

But with Ye Chen... Yang Zhen seriously suspected that his status as the king of showing off was being challenged.

So... Yang Zhen also instantly changed his attitude, and his expression gradually became serious. He solemnly said to Li Chengfeng, “Vice Dean, I think Junior Apprentice Ye Chen is right. It’s time for us to put some pressure on these Martial Arts Academies!”

Li Chengfeng looked at the two students in front of him with a smile, one was his own student, and the other was also an outstanding student of Star River Academy.

“I, as the Vice Dean, am truly happy that you can think this way.”

“Since that’s the case, then this matter is settled. Ye Chen will lead the freshman competition, and you, Yang Zhen, will lead the senior competition.”

“Remember our philosophy, we are not going there to bully other Martial Arts Academies, but rather... to give them some motivation to move forward!”

Li Chengfeng said with a chuckle.

“Mission accomplished!”

Ye Chen and Yang Zhen said in unison, then exchanged glances. Where their eyes met, invisible sparks ignited.

Li Chengfeng watched this scene, and the look of relief on his face grew even stronger... Ye Chen returned to his small courtyard, lay on the bed, propped his feet up, clasped his hands behind his head, and his mind was full of the Martial Arts Academy Tournament.

“If I can steal all the limelight at the tournament, the Star Sword Art will definitely be able to evolve.”

“Moreover, there are so many people in the Martial Arts Academy, and so many powerful individuals will be paying attention. Although it’s less than the College Entrance Examination, the good thing is that the Martial Arts Academy Tournament is held on a stage. The closer to those powerful individuals, the more emotions can be collected.”

“Hehehe!”

Ye Chen let out a silly laugh, then suddenly sat up from the bed.

“No, this thing happens only once a year, it’s a bit precious. I must frantically improve my cultivation before the Martial Arts Academy Tournament.”

“Only in this way can I give these powerful individuals a shock and bring enough pressure to those Martial Arts Academies!”

“Hmm... Old Li said there’s still a month. Then let’s set a small goal... at least reach Undying Fourth Layer!”

Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately walked out of the small courtyard and headed towards the Star Dou Space.

Although the Star Dou Space now has a new Ninth-Order Ferocious Beast from the Ferocious Beast Faction guarding it, Star River Academy has a greater degree of control over the Star Dou Space.

Cultivating inside would not pose too much danger.

This is also why, in the past six months, the students of Star River Academy have generally cultivated faster.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yang Zhen also returned from Li Chengfeng’s office and lay on his bed, pondering.

“No, this guy Ye Chen is too abnormal. If he goes, won’t all the limelight be stolen by him?”

“No, no, I haven’t even graduated yet, how can I let him steal my limelight? If he wants to show off, he has to wait until I graduate!”

Yang Zhen inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.

A crisis of his identity as the king of showing off being snatched away.

“No, I must Cultivate seriously, I can’t be decadent!”

A look of determination emerged in Yang Zhen’s eyes.
