Chapter 23: Defeat Shi Yuanliang

Time passed unconsciously, half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and there were less than two months left before the big exam, and an atmosphere of urgency and anxiety gradually permeated the school.

The students who were hopeless about the martial arts examination buried their heads in the sea of books and concentrated on gnawing on the books, while the students who were interested in the martial arts university were desperately cultivating, trying to break through to the martial arts apprenticeship in the last time and obtain the qualification for the martial arts examination.

Smack!

In the center of the empty martial arts training hall, the shadows of swords are intertwined, and the crisp sound of wooden swords is endless.

Shi Yuanliang's face was solemn, his body was moving and jumping, and the long sword in his hand attacked like a storm, and his momentum was amazing.

In the face of such a fierce offensive, Du Mu, as an opponent, looked calm, swung his sword to parry with ease, and occasionally counterattacked and stabbed a sword, which made Shi Yuanliang tired of coping, and a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that he had the upper hand.

Two minutes later, Du Mu's wrist shook, swung his sword and slammed away Shi Yuanliang's weapon, the blade in his hand drove straight in, the lightning stopped two centimeters in front of the latter's throat, and the strong wind carried by the tip of the sword made goosebumps slightly appear on his skin.

“...... I lost!" Shi Yuanliang smiled bitterly and put down the sword he used to practice, and looked at Du Mu's eyes full of shock, "Your swordsmanship has improved too fast!"

He was quite frustrated in his heart, remembering that when he was practicing with Du Mu more than half a month ago, he still stabilized Du Mu's head, but he didn't expect the latter to progress so quickly, not only his physical fitness had improved to the same level as him, but his swordsmanship was far surpassing.

He even suspected that Du Mu's swordsmanship had touched the edge of the mastery level.

Why didn't you find out that this guy was actually a martial arts genius before?

"Your vitality index is almost 10, right?" Shi Yuanliang asked.

"Almost. Du Mu bowed his head slightly, in fact, as early as five days ago, his strength and physique both broke through, reaching F+ in one fell swoop, and his movement speed and reaction speed also increased a lot, and it was estimated that his agility would soon break through.

He took the time to go to the Akashi specialty store to do a life force index measurement, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the life force index had increased to 9.

This means that as long as any of the three attributes of strength, agility and physique are upgraded again, the vitality index will immediately break through to 10, and it will reach the martial apprentice standard, and you will be able to participate in the martial apprentice assessment at that time.

The sparring between the two had attracted many onlookers, and when they heard the conversation between Shi Yuanliang and Du Mu, many students exclaimed with envy.

"I didn't expect Du Mu to win against Shi Yuanliang!"

"Hiding too deeply, I didn't find him so powerful before!"

"Du Mu's swordsmanship is already at the entry level, and the vitality index is close to 10, so doesn't that mean that he will soon be able to participate in the martial apprentice assessment?"

"Martial apprentice! It's so good, you can apply for the Martial Arts University!"

The whispers around him clearly came into Du Mu's ears, making him feel a little complacent, but after a few breaths, he calmed down.

Nothing to be proud of!

Compared with the murderous cold, fierce and indifferent faceless person, Shi Yuanliang can only be regarded as a small flower in the greenhouse that has not been tempered by wind and rain, and it is natural to defeat him, and it is not worth being complacent.

Thanks to the recent many battles with the Faceless One, Du Mu's combat experience has improved by leaps and bounds, and it is precisely because of this that he can easily defeat Shi Yuanliang when he can deliberately suppress his swordsmanship and physical fitness.

Sun Yu and Fang Cheng stood aside with complicated expressions, staring at Du Mu speechless for a while.

If they were still a little jealous of Du Mu before, at this time, there was only envy and admiration left in their hearts, being able to win over Shi Yuanliang proved that Du Mu had officially become the top group of students in Qiming High School, and they were the elite seeds who were expected to be admitted to Wuke University.

"Indeed, even I didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly!" Cheng Xing watched Shi Yuanliang and Du Mu's discussion on the sidelines, his face was full of surprise and admiration that he couldn't hide, "There will be a martial arts apprentice assessment in eight days, you and Shi Yuanliang will strive to break through the vitality index to 10 during this time, and then you can give it a try." ”

"The registration fee will be reimbursed by the school!"

Hearing this, Du Mu's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Thank you, teacher!"

The registration fee for the martial apprentice assessment is as high as 3,000 Xingyuan, although recently, because of the Nutrition Express to assist in cultivation, his food expenses have been reduced by a lot, but no one will have too much of this kind of thing, and it is still excellent to be saved.

Shi Yuanliang's family is wealthy, so he doesn't care about this money, he just smiled faintly when he heard this, and thanked Cheng Xing politely.

Cheng Xing grinned and patted the shoulders of the two happily: "Come on, strive to pass the assessment!"

If someone in the class is successfully admitted to the martial arts university, as a martial arts teacher, he can get a lot of bonuses, and he can also add a lot of money to the teacher's resume, so he is so happy.

After class, Du Mu refused the invitation of several female classmates to go out to play together, and walked quickly towards the school gate.

As he walked, he frowned and pondered.

In the past half a month, Du Mu has been hunting the Faceless on the streets every night.

As his power rating increased to E-, he became more and more comfortable dealing with the Faceless, often ending the fight in less than a minute and killing the Faceless.

However, to his surprise, from the second night of the increase in power rating, the Nightmare Energy that can be obtained by killing the Faceless has been greatly reduced, and the Nightmare Energy that can be obtained for each Faceless Killed is 1 point, but now it takes a full three Faceless to gain 1 point.

The same goes for coins, which now require an average of 1 out of three faceless kills.

"There are too many monsters whose strength exceeds that of hunting, and the nightmare energy and drop chance obtained after killing will also be reduced accordingly......" Du Mu muttered secretly, "I just don't know what kind of decline ratio it is?"

Even so, the nightmare energy that Du Mu has obtained these days is also full of 21 points, counting the remaining 1 point before, there are a total of 22 points, which is a lot of money.

"Go back and see if any new skills come out!"

He has been busy cultivating the Bailuo Breathing Method and hunting the Faceless One, and Du Mu hasn't looked at the computer much recently.

As soon as he walked to the school gate, the mobile phone in Du Mu's pocket suddenly vibrate, and when he picked it up, it was a call from his sister Du Shuang.

"Sister?"

"Are you out of school?" a cold and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, sister, is there something wrong?"

"In mid-June, I will come back to Haoqi City. ”

"June?" Du Mu's face flashed with doubt, and then as if he remembered something, he blurted out: "Martial Arts Examination!"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then he said, "That's right." ”

Du Mu suddenly came to his senses: "Sister, are you a member of the assessment team?"

His tone was full of shock and joy.

No wonder he is so happy, there have been precedents for the previous batch of students from the previous batch of martial arts universities in the federation to join the assessment team and accompany the school tutor to a certain city to preside over the martial arts examination, but most of the students who can participate in the assessment team are very outstanding elite students of the school, which is equivalent to the image spokesperson of the martial arts university to a certain extent, so as to attract outstanding students to sign up.

Du Mu knew that his sister's talent was very outstanding, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

You must know that she is studying at the best martial arts university recognized by the federation - Xingluo Academy, and every year it recruits a group of the best and most talented young students in the entire federation.

"Hmm. ”

Du Shuang's tone did not show any smugness, but a hint of depression.

"Amu, there is not much time left before the college entrance examination, how are you reviewing your cultural class?"

"Uh......" Du Mu was stunned, in the past half a month, he has devoted himself to cultivation, how can he care about cultural achievements, even the head teacher began to hint intentionally or unintentionally that he would focus on martial arts after knowing that he and Shi Yuanliang were tied.

In this world, there is hope of being admitted to Wuke University, who still buries his head in studying cultural classes, at most as a supplement, so as not to become full of muscles.

However, Du Shuang didn't know Du Mu's recent changes, and sighed lightly when he heard this: "Ah Mu, don't blame my sister for nagging, with your martial arts qualifications, you have no hope of being admitted to Martial Arts University, since this is the case, why don't you face the reality and concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination?"

"It may not be impossible for you to be admitted to a prestigious university in the capital, and you will also have a bright future after graduation, not much weaker than a martial apprentice. ”

The concern in Du Shuang's words made Du Mu's heart warm slightly, he smiled, and said softly: "Got it, sister, don't worry, I won't be hot-headed, when you come back, I will definitely give you a surprise!"

“...... Remember what you said. Knowing the stubbornness of his younger brother's character, Du Shuang's tone was filled with a hint of helplessness, and he made up his mind that if Du Mu's college entrance examination results were not satisfactory, he would go to ask his classmates and enter the capital's famous university through the back door.

After chatting for a while, the two ended the call.

Putting away the phone, Du Mu exhaled slightly.

"It's time to speed up, the martial apprentice assessment in eight days must be passed, and I will give my sister a big surprise when the time comes!"
