Chapter 54: Genius? I’m Cheating
Ningjiang City and its eight subordinate counties have sixty-seven high schools, with Ningjiang City accounting for twenty-seven, including public and private ones.
East City District has five: No. 2 Middle School, No. 7 Middle School, No. 10 Middle School, No. 14 Middle School, Wuyu Middle School.
In last year’s district martial arts competition, No. 14 Middle School ranked second in East City District.
Main force players include Fu Chuxue and Xiang Feipeng, plus one player who was in senior year at the time; this year that person graduated and went to heavy martial arts, so Yang Jie stepped up.
After getting the information, Li Ye walked out of the office, looking at it while walking.
Ningjiang No. 2 Middle School’s three main force players: ranked first Deng Zihang, senior year, Four Dragon Gates, follows the Qi Meridian Pass route, with long-lasting breath, excels in stamina, mostly wins by exhausting the enemy, good at dodging.
The second and third are not purely following the breakthrough route.
Other high schools are similar, only one follows the one pass route, the others are either half breakthrough or Qi Blood Leap at five or six Dragon Gates.
If No. 14 Middle School didn’t have Fu Chuxue, it would be about the same as them.
But this Wuyu Middle School is different.
All three main force players follow the breakthrough route.
First is Hua Zihang, a Six Dragon Gate martial artist who trains Army Breaking Pass and Divine Movement Pass.
Second and third both follow one pass, all Five Dragon Gate martial artists.
“I sent you the information, right.”
Seeing Li Ye come out with a stack of information, Yao Lèdān excitedly went up to him, “I know about this, want me to introduce it to you?”
“Tell me.”
“Martial arts competitions are best of three, we used to be at the bottom, then Fu Chuxue joined and we stabilized in the mid-tier, the year before last we got third in the district martial arts competition, last year after Xiang Feipeng became a main force player we got second.”
Yao Lèdān said: “Wuyu is too strong, three main force players, the first is Hua Zihang, city rank 2, provincial rank 153, Six Dragon Gate, known as ‘Death Sword’, wields excellent swordplay, lightness skill is also good, very powerful.”
“The other two, Gong Zhongda follows Army Breaking Pass, excels with spear, city rank 17. Lei Yu follows Qi Meridian Pass, excels in palm techniques, city rank 32.”
“You don’t need to pay attention to the others, just focus on Hua Zihang.”
Hearing this, Li Ye asked: “Is the martial arts competition free order swap?”
“Of course, if everyone goes in strict order, it’s easy to be targeted. Martial arts competitions allow free choice of appearance order, if you’re lucky and get someone you’re good against, you might win, luck is part of strength too.”
“This year we’re very lucky, with you and Fu Chuxue, as long as you don’t face Hua Zihang, we’re sure to win. As long as we win one match, we can become district first, Wuyu itself is city first, if we really beat them, city first might be possible, and if we’re even luckier, we could go to the provincial martial arts competition.”
District martial arts competition is locked to the district, dispatching three main force players; city martial arts competition selects the top three from each district and county martial arts competition to participate; provincial martial arts competition selects the top three from the city to participate in the entire province’s martial arts competition.
High schools only go up to provincial martial arts competition, no national one, and even if there was it wouldn’t relate to No. 14 Middle School.
No. 14 Middle School at best can participate in city martial arts competition, at that stage they’ll be eliminated, Fu Chuxue can win no matter what but she’s just one person, the other two really can’t beat all those high schools in the city.
Sixty or seventy high schools, one city, impossible not to produce geniuses.
“What’s with the rankings?” Li Ye asked curiously.
“Comprehensive rankings, based on past martial arts competition results, martial artists ranked over a thousand provincially get titles based on style, you know Water Margin, right, that kind of title.”
Yao Lèdān laughed: “If you get into provincial top thousand, after being studied a lot, you’ll get a title too.”
Li Ye had known Water Margin for two lifetimes, last life’s classic novel had martial prowess still in acceptable range, this world’s Water Margin is even high martial Water Margin, Black Whirlwind whirling dual axes truly like a black tornado, not exaggerated at all.
“So study that Hua Zihang more, if you face him you must win.”
“Oh? He’s very strong?” Li Ye laughed.
“It’s not about strong or not.”
Yao Lèdān said: “All follow breakthrough route, even if specific strength can’t be distinguished, roughly it can be known, among same tier, Foundation Establishment Technique practitioners lose to Basic Martial Arts practitioners, Basic lose to martial arts school ones, martial arts school lose to half breakthrough, half breakthrough lose to pure breakthrough route.”
“Low beating high, one extra layer of Qi and Blood theoretically ties, two extra layers theoretically wins, note this is theory, in fact very few can beat you breakthrough route martial artists, only you types have the qualification to do this.”
As she spoke, she gave Li Ye a knowing look, “So you train Vajra Pass? Fooling who. Single Mysterious Pass absolutely can’t beat Xiang Feipeng’s, that’s Qi and Blood gap.”
Li Ye could beat Four Dragon Gates Xiang Feipeng at Three Dragon Gates, definitely not just one pass, plus the roar he showed last time, either extra Qi Meridian or extra Army Breaking.
Cultivation insufficient, intensity makes up for it.
“You’re at least two passes route, even I think, you might be like Fu Chuxue, following the top-tier three passes martial arts route.”
“Before summer vacation was preparatory student, after summer vacation to one week after school starts, a bit over two months to Four Dragon Gates, very likely was laying groundwork for some top-tier martial arts before, otherwise this talent impossible so strong!”
Yao Lèdān said: “Are you training legendary top-tier martial arts, those martial arts each have their wonders, your martial arts might need lots of accumulation in ordinary person stage.”
Good imagination.
Li Ye almost wanted to thumbs up and praise her.
This directly thought up excuse for him from preparatory student to quick Break Through Dragon Gate.
He didn’t answer, just smiled slightly, as if agreeing.
“Really three passes?”
Yao Lèdān’s eyes lit up, exclaimed: “Big genius!”
Then she sighed, “But why’d you come now, earlier would be good, this year is last chance, our class should be No. 14 Middle School’s strongest, next year after we graduate, back to little trash.”
Li Ye chuckled, “Before becoming trash, at least have glory.”
Though Li Ye didn’t think himself unique, after all experts and top-tier martial arts learners are everywhere, but among top-tier martial arts, there are differences.
According to Yao Lèdān’s comparison, three passes route has very high intensity, at least battles across three tiers.
After all Foundation Establishment Technique practitioners all learn some martial arts, impossible not to learn any, can count as one.
Three passes route, One Dragon Gate can beat ordinary Four Dragon Gates, Three Dragon Gates can beat ordinary Seven Dragon Gates, but Li Ye killed a Seven Dragon Gate person, can confirm he’s far beyond that.
He remembered Master upon entering university was first, no one in Dragon Gate Realm surpassed him.
That means 【Twelve Dragon Gates Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate】 is unparalleled, should be the highest purity martial arts.
Other martial arts may not achieve this martial art’s unique Qi and Blood transformation, and Li Ye uses Authority to train, compared to Master, he’s even purer.
If normal breakthrough Qi and Blood is ‘ordinary Qi and Blood’, martial arts refined is ‘refined Qi and Blood’, Li Ye’s Qi and Blood has not a trace of ordinary Qi and Blood.
After all no one can guarantee their training is purely martial arts refined ‘refined Qi and Blood’, after all eating and training both grow ordinary Qi and Blood.
Others can’t at his cultivation start storing Qi and Blood to complete Twelve Circulations, even eating while training it’s hard to complete Twelve Circulations.
Li Ye can do it, his Qi and Blood control is at genius level even Master called it, and Authority brings talent
Compared to genius, he’s more like cheating.
