High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 169 150: One Million Points!

October 30th.

Virtual Independent Starry Sky, within a starry arena.

”Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Jiang Ye held the Black Dragon Spear, fiercely battling his opponent in front of him.

Continuous roaring sounds.

Each spear move, masterfully crafted, poured out like a violent storm, ceaselessly unleashed upon the opponent.

”Boom!”

”Boom!!” Opposite Jiang Ye, a brawny young man was equally formidable.

Holding a long staff, he engaged in fierce combat with Jiang Ye.

His full head of black hair shot upwards, wild and unruly, his whole aura surging overwhelmingly like a tempestuous wave.

Judging by his Martial Arts Qi Spirit, he was undoubtedly a master at the peak of First Break!

”Kill!”

”Kill!” ”Kill!” At this moment, Jiang Ye completely suppressed his opponent, each strike was like Mount Tai descending, imbued with an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Forcing the black-haired brawny youth to continuously retreat.

Each spear strike carried more terrifying power than the last.

Only a few seconds passed.

Jiang Ye had already thrust dozens of spears, his momentum climbing to its peak.

”Ultimate technique.” Jiang Ye suddenly burst forth, his spear in hand transformed into a Black Dragon, stabbing fiercely, accompanied by a screeching hum, akin to a dragonʼs roar.

A dazzling light wheel emerged, tearing through the darkness.

Like the breaking dawn.

Great Sun Spear Technique Second Move Ultimate Technique — Proud Sun Across the Sky!

This light wheel was like a blazing sun, explosively shooting forth at the moment Jiang Ye unleashed the ultimate technique.

Smashed towards the brawny youth with great force.

”Boom!”

The blazing sun tore through the brawny youthʼs defenses, like a meteor shell, striking straight down.

”Splash~” like a giant ship crashing into waves, erupting with towering waves.

An awe-inspiring shockwave swept forth.

”Bang~” a figure flew out like a kite with a broken string.

And then landed heavily outside the edge of the arena.

”As expected of a genius from Penglai University, truly strong.”

”Iʼll remember you.” The brawny young man, lying on the ground, with eyes blazing with fighting spirit: ”Letʼs fight again another day!”

”Alright.” Jiang Ye gave him a slight smile.

The black-haired youth took a deep look at Jiang Ye and his figure slowly faded.

[Penglai University·Jiang Ye, has won this match!]

[Rank: 0th Rank (99/100)]

[Matches: 799]

[Win rate: 56%]

——

”799 matches, finally reached the promotion match.” Jiang Ye let out a breath.

For the past three months, he persistently spent two hours each day advancing in the Starry Sky Rank.

To date, he had accumulated 799 matches.

The main reason for so many matches was due to the peculiar matching system.

Whenever he had a streak of wins, opponents of a higher tier would appear, followed by a streak of losses.

With such repetition.

Jiang Ye only now reached the threshold of the promotion match.

Fortunately, Jiang Ye wasnʼt simply aiming for scores; more importantly, he was honing his actual combat skills.

”My strength.” Jiang Ye looked at the panel.

[Cultivation Technique]

Star Martial Advancement Technique: Great Success (98%)

Nine Luminaries Star Stepping: Minor Success (1%)

Great Sun Spear Technique: Minor Success (10%)

——

Three months of cultivation, progressing with tremendous leaps.

Not only had the Advancement Technique reached Perfection.

The Nine Luminaries Star Stepping, this Earth Tier Starry Sky Secret Technique, had also broken through to Minor Success!

More importantly, the Great Sun Spear Technique, this Profound Tier Upper Art Technique, had risen from non-entry three months ago to Minor Success.

Now able to display the second move ultimate technique — Proud Sun Across the Sky!

”Proud Sun Across the Sky.” Jiang Ye recalled the previous battle: ”Truly strong!”

In that battle just now.

He relied on this newly comprehended ultimate technique to outright crush his opponent.

”That person just now was only a student from Extreme Sea University.”

”Thereʼs a not-so-small gap compared to people like Shen Changxi.” Jiang Ye thought to himself: ”Still, a peak of First Break nonetheless.”

Now, he had enough confidence and assurance.

To battle on the same stage with those geniuses from Penglai University.

”Promotion match.” Jiang Ye looked at the battle record panel, thought for a moment, and chose not to continue challenging.

Following the usual matching system routine.

This promotion match was destined to be incredibly difficult, possibly facing students from the top ten prestigious schools.

Nine out of ten chances of losing.

...

Exit Virtual Starry Sky.

Jiang Ye returned to the main villa, just about to start his daily cultivation.

”BuzzBuzz!”

Suddenly, the phone vibrated slightly.

”School notification?” Jiang Ye opened the phone projection.

[Jiang Ye, the Newborn Match will officially begin on October 31st, and you have signed up for the competition]

[Details of the Newborn Match rules]

[The Newborn Match will be set in the Virtual Independent Starry Sky, with a total of five hundred arenas for the preliminaries to determine the top 500. The semifinals will have two hundred and fifty arenas to decide the top 250... and so on, until the top ten and ultimately the champion are determined]

”Five hundred arenas set up for the preliminaries?”

Jiang Ye sighed: ”The school really doesnʼt waste any time.”

”Indeed.”

”For Penglai University students.” Jiang Ye thought: ”Every minute of cultivation time is extremely precious.”

Itʼs impossible for a match to drag on for several days like some competitions.

This Newborn Match.

Thousands of Newborns, it only takes a few minutes to decide the top 500.

From the top 500 to the top ten, and finally the champion, might not even take more than an hour altogether.

”Newborn Match rewards.” Jiang Ye continued browsing the competition rules.

[The rewards for this Newborn Match are as follows]

[Top 100, each awarded 1000 points]

[Top 50, each awarded 10,000 points]

[Entrants into the top ten, each awarded 100,000 points and qualification for the Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup competition.]

[The ultimate champion, awarded 1,000,000 points]

”Hiss!”

Jiang Ye couldnʼt help but gasp.

The gap between the treatment of the top 100 and the ultimate champion is terrifyingly vast.

The top 100 reward of 1000 points is merely a consolation prize.

And the champion? 1,000,000 points, equivalent to 10 million Federation dollars!

”As of now.”

”Just for Martial Arts dietary supplements, I spend seven to eight hundred thousand a month.”

Jiang Ye calculated: ”Adding in potent medicines, each month costs at least over a million.”

In three months, he advanced from mid-period of First Break to the peak of First Break.

How could it be this fast?

Besides the critical effort, whatʼs more important is the money spent.

Martial Arts dietary supplements to solidify the foundation, potent medicines to accelerate the process.

Combining both, Jiang Ye achieved his current cultivation speed.

”Just now.”

”For just martial supplements alone, each month I spend will cost over 500 million once breaking into Second Break.”

”Even now, I need over two million each month for martial ginseng intake.” Jiang Ye thought to himself: ”Thatʼs over two million gone already.”

As a third-tier Preparatory Star Professional, he gets one free session of the Star Sky Refinement each month.

But once he breaks into Second Break, the cost will increase significantly.

And then, he will need even more powerful martial ginseng to maintain his training speed.

”Once I break into Second Break, it will cost even more money.”

”By that time, Iʼll probably need more than five million per month.” Jiang Ye thought to himself.

With this thought.

He opened the schoolʼs exchange page.

[Profound Tier Lower Martial Ginseng: 5000 Federation dollars per 100g]

[Profound Tier Middle Upper Martial Ginseng: 10,000 Federation dollars/100g]

[Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Ginseng: 50,000 Federation dollars/100g]

Profound Tier Middle Upper Martial Ginseng costs ten times more than Lower Grade Martial Ginseng.

”After the Second Break, Iʼll probably need at least five million per month.” Jiang Ye thought to himself.

With this thought.

This is what itʼll take to win the title ”Genius of the Year.”

”Championʼs prize, it must be mine.” Jiang Yeʼs gaze burned with determination.

Shen Changxi, Liu Wanxiao... these wealthy ones canʼt compete with me.

Not a chance.
