"What's going on? This crushing feeling … Has Lin Yao advanced to an intermediate martial artist?"
"Impossible. He just advanced to a martial artist a few days ago. It's impossible for him to advance further in just a few days."
"However, he hasn't advanced yet. What's going on with this power? Zhan Xia failed to block the last attack even though he unleashed his energy. This crushing feeling is definitely something that can only be achieved when the Iron Body is developed to more than 30%."
The puzzled students discussed among themselves, and the expressions of many of the contestants on the high platform changed. Initially, they had thought that Lin Yao had relied on the Clear Mirror Sword-Drawing Technique, but now it seemed that he had more than one ability.
Everyone was talking about Lin Yao's performance. However, Lin Yao ignored all this. After the referee confirmed the outcome of the match, he went back to his seat in a cold and detached manner.
While he was going down, he could feel the power of the sun filling his cells, as well as the feeling of his body being fully activated by the power of the sun. Lin Yao was very satisfied.
'Under the radiance of the sun, I can go head-to-head with people born with divine power. Praise the sun. '
Lin Yao returned to the high platform and closed his eyes to rest.
However, after his return this time, the boys below no longer booed Lin Yao.
Naturally, these hot-blooded young men would despise a pretty boy who only had a face and used underhanded tricks. However, after discovering that he was not a pretty boy and had the strength to go head-to-head with others, the hot-blooded young men felt respect for Lin Yao as a powerhouse.
Unfortunately, this respect disappeared even faster than it had appeared.
The girls who had admired Lin Yao's looks were the most excited when he had defeated Zhan Xia. They discovered that countless girls were cheering and saying that they wanted to bear his children. The sounds of their cheers completely aroused the jealousy of the boys.
"Scoundrel, people like you should just die."
…
Ignoring the noise below, Lin Yao closed his eyes and waited quietly for his next battle.
He didn't have to wait long. Soon, the first round of battles ended, and the top eight of the 15 contestants began.
Since 15 was an odd number, there was a bye this time. Unfortunately, it was not Lin Yao.
What made him frown slightly was that this time, his opponent turned out to be a genius on the seeded list.
"It's the Flash Swordsman who ranked ninth. The two flashes actually met."
"This is going to be fun."
The Flash Swordsman was also a handsome boy. He was almost as handsome as Lin Yao, but he did not have Lin Yao's special light effects.
He was very hostile toward Lin Yao. However, after facing Lin Yao, he kept smiling on the surface.
"I didn't expect the two of us to meet each other. Speaking of which, you're the one who deserves this title. I don't have light element talent."
They seemed to be fawning over Lin Yao, but they were actually saying that Lin Yao had relied on his talent.
Lin Yao, who could sense the malice of the other party, had no intention of answering. Upon seeing this, the other party narrowed his eyes.
The Flash Swordsman was naturally a swordsman, but he was using a western rapier. After saluting, he held the rapier with one hand and placed it between his eyebrows, sneering at Lin Yao.
"Be careful. It would be bad if I cut your face."
"Coach, when do we start?"
"Now, begin!"
As the teacher, who was the referee, waved his hand, the aura of the talkative Flash Swordsman changed in an instant, and his entire body became sharp and fierce.
As his aura changed, he also dashed forward. With nimble steps, he rushed to Lin Yao's side in a very short time. After reaching a certain distance, the rapier in his hand stabbed toward Lin Yao like a white thread. During the stab, as his wrist shook, the rapier that was stabbed burst into a sky full of stars. The stars shrouded Lin Yao's body.
The western rapier was known for its lightness. The Flash Swordsman in front of him must have practiced hard for a long time. After unleashing his vital energy, the rapier was so fast that the blade could not be seen. One could only see the light refracted by the blade. This was also the origin of his name, Flash.
With this fast sword, he had defeated his classmates and won first place in the class. Right now, he also wanted to defeat Lin Yao with this swordsmanship and snatch Lin Yao's glory.
'What a handsome and powerful genius. It's good enough that I'm the only one in this school.'
With this thought in mind, he wanted to defeat Lin Yao in the most graceful manner.
Very soon, he felt that he had succeeded.
The extremely fast sword seemed to exceed the reaction time of the person in front of him. In the face of the long sword that was shot toward him, the person did not dodge it.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The rapier that burst out like a rainstorm pierced Lin Yao's body all over.
"I've succeeded. I've won."
"I told you that he was just showing off with the Flash Technique. He's useless now that he's wearing the explosion-proof goggles."
After stabbing Lin Yao, the boys and the Flash Swordsman cheered. However, the next moment, the Flash Swordsman's expression suddenly changed. He did not feel like he had stabbed an entity.
'Illusion? How is this possible?!'
Shock grew in his heart, but just as this emotion rose, an ironwood sword cut through the air and attacked him from the side. With a "boom", the sword, which carried a great force, fiercely struck his body, sending him flying several meters away.
The Flash Swordsman, who was caught off guard and suffered a heavy blow that contained vital energy, collapsed to the ground and could not get up. Fortunately, Lin Yao was not holding a real sword. Otherwise, he would have been cut in half at the waist.
"Your combat skills are quite beautiful, but you talk too much nonsense."
After saying this, Lin Yao no longer looked at the loser who had fallen to the ground. Instead, he looked at the referee.
"Winner, Lin Yao."
The Flash Swordsman, who had been sent flying, groaned in the arena. Naturally, there was no doubt that Lin Yao was the winner.
In response, Lin Yao naturally walked into the arena with a calm expression. However, the contestants below and on the high platform once again became noisy because of him.
"How is this possible? He was clearly stabbed just now."
"You saw it too! This is strange. Logically speaking, even if Student Lin Yao has awakened the illusion ability, it would be good enough if he could affect the Flash Swordsman alone. It is a bit exaggerated to hypnotize everyone present. "
"Indeed, this is not something an ordinary warlord can do. There are so many people here. Only a silver warlord or above can do this."
Doubts grew in everyone's hearts. While feeling doubtful, everyone looked at Lin Yao again with awe in their eyes.
"Student Lin Yao has natural divine power, the Flash Sword-Drawing Technique, and the illusion ability. Although his vital energy is slightly low, his strength should not be underestimated."
"Don't do this. He is already so handsome. If he is so powerful, how are we going to win?"
Lin Yao, who had defeated his opponent with one sword move, quickly returned to the arena. His moves were neat and tidy, and he had the demeanor of an expert. Everyone praised him. However, Lin Yao was the only one who knew that he had been able to defeat others easily because of his strange ability.
'Well, with the Armored Body Of Light, it seems that only intermediate martial artists can fight me head-on. In that case, I am not considered weak.'
This thought appeared in Lin Yao's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
'You can't think of it that way. I'm just outstanding among ordinary people. I'm still far from being a true genius.'
At that moment, Lin Yao thought of Di Qiang, Yan Yan, and Che Zhengyi, who had learned the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique after drinking a cup of enlightenment tea. Soon, the pride in his heart disappeared.
'There is a long road ahead. I still need to work hard.'
