Chapter 577 Urban Martial Arts World - Classmate A (7)

After the semi-finals began, Jiang Yue finished dealing with her work and she and Wang Lixia focused on watching the competition. The semi-finals saw Kyoto University, led by Xiao Huohuo, and Shanghai Martial Arts University, led by Guo Weibing, advance. These two schools have been winning the title for hundreds of years now, every year it's the same two.

The afternoon's championship and runner-up battle was fierce, with everyone giving their all to win the title. The entire match was not very entertaining, but rather ruthless in its pursuit of victory, resulting in broken arms and legs. If it weren't for the abundance of extraordinary individuals nowadays, many people's martial arts journey would have ended prematurely after just one match.

Finally, it was the decisive battle between Xiao Huohuo and Guo Weibing. The two were evenly matched, and because they were both weak, their talents were not far apart. In the end, Xiao Huohuo defeated Guo Weibing of Shanghai Martial Arts University with a move that combined three different flames. Shanghai Martial Arts University won the championship, and the protagonist's second public display of power was completed.

Of course, showing off means being targeted, and the protagonist will encounter a bunch of ridiculous things, but this has nothing to do with Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue can collect her bets, but unfortunately she didn't have much money when the odds were high, otherwise she could have bought a house in the suburbs.

Jiang Yue and Wang Lixia, who had made a fortune, went out for a big meal. They had been in Kyoto for a year and hadn't eaten anywhere except in the cafeteria. They chose a buffet they had always wanted to go to. After the meal, they felt like they had been in a sauna. Their whole bodies were red, like boiled shrimp. It was all because they couldn't digest the meat and their blood was rushing to their heads.

After taking a taxi back to school, Jiang Yue went back to her dorm and started circulating her internal energy to absorb blood and qi. Fortunately, Jiang Yue was mostly faking it, while Wang Lixia had really eaten too much and was a little dizzy. Jiang Yue quickly helped her out. Sigh, people without strength can't even eat well.

The next morning, after getting up, the two of them returned to normal. They tidied up and went to pay off the loan first. Only after paying off the loan did they finally breathe a sigh of relief. They both put some of the money into a fixed deposit so that they would have a backup plan no matter what the future held. The rest of the money, besides living expenses, was used to improve their strength as much as possible. Even if it was just to eat better food, they had to work hard to cultivate.

The competition was over and it was almost Chinese New Year, but the two still planned to spend it together. On New Year's Eve, they prepared a reunion dinner. A few days later, Wang Lixia and Jiang Yue said goodbye and returned to school. Jiang Yue quietly improved her strength at school and checked the dark web in her spare time to see if there was any news about the acquired cultivation techniques.

While there were no complete advanced cultivation techniques, a considerable number of incomplete ones were acquired, which was sufficient for Jiang Yue. With a few more advanced cultivation techniques of her own, she could deduce them. She also purchased some extraordinary items, including some low- to mid-level ones, as high-level ones were too strictly controlled and difficult to buy.

By the time school started, Jiang Yue's martial arts cultivation had broken through to the fifth rank, and the development of her mental power and supernatural abilities was also progressing simultaneously. Her progress was much faster than the protagonist's because she had enough resources in her space. If Jiang Yue hadn't wanted to remain inconspicuous, her speed could have been even faster.

The new semester brought no new beginnings; the classes were similar to last semester. The main character was going to have another competition, this time against an international one, and Bai Xiaosheng had started betting again on the StarNet.

Xiao Huohuo's odds were very high. Jiang Yue didn't know if he had a problem with Xiao Huohuo, but she still blindly went all in on Xiao Huohuo. If she won this time, she could buy a house near the Beijing Martial Arts University. After placing the bet, Jiang Yue didn't pay any more attention to it. To the bookmaker, her money was just a small fry, and she didn't need to worry about attracting attention.

After finishing her classes for the day, Jiang Yue went to the cafeteria for a meal. After returning to her dormitory, she edited the videos she had taken. She recently started an account to film her daily life and help answer questions from her viewers, hoping to gain more experience.

After uploading the new video, Jiang Yue checked her private messages, filtered out those who were just bored, and identified those who truly needed help. With her current experience, solving their problems wouldn't be difficult. After spending half an hour answering a bunch of questions, Jiang Yue turned off her phone and prepared to cultivate.

After cultivating for several hours, Jiang Yue took a shower and went to sleep. The next day was the weekend, so she woke up a little late. Although she didn't need much sleep at her current level, Jiang Yue wanted to be lazy, as this would help her cultivate her mental strength.

She went to the library this morning. After being enrolled for so long, she had practically emptied the library. She also acquired a lot of valuable knowledge from the black market, although it contained a lot of misleading content. Anyway, it was very cheap. To make others believe that there was something real inside, Jiang Yue needed that little bit of real knowledge.

After leaving the library, Jiang Yue went to Wang Lixia's place. She had found a part-time job in the cafeteria and hadn't been out for a while. When she got to the school gate, Jiang Yue bought some fruit. The fruit was quite expensive, and she used to be unable to afford it. She was grateful to Xiao Huohuo for making it affordable now.

Jiang Yue had been to her school a few times and found her part-time job place with ease. Since it was the weekend, there weren't many people there, and the place was practically empty. Jiang Yue went over and waved to her. When she saw Jiang Yue, her eyes lit up, and she spoke to someone who seemed to be in charge. Then she ran towards Jiang Yue.

"Why are you here? You didn't even tell me beforehand."

"I came to see you because I missed you. Here, these are your favorite fruits."

"Oh dear, what a waste of money, I should just buy something cheaper."

After chatting for a while, we went back to the dormitory. After putting her things away and waiting for her to change her clothes, we went out for a walk and had dinner together in the evening. Before it got too late, Jiang Yue went back to school.

A few days later, the competition between the younger generation of the two countries began. Unfortunately, the competition was not during the holiday. However, even if it were during the holiday, Jiang Yue was too lazy to go. With so many people paying attention to the competition, her little trick might not be able to hide from anyone. She would rather watch the live broadcast through the StarNet, which would be easier and more convenient.

This competition was even more intense than the national competition. On the first day of the competition, Guo Weibing from Shanghai Martial Arts University almost had his head chopped off, and the contestant from Baiyue Kingdom almost died, with a hole punched in his heart. It was an extremely difficult victory for them.

The subsequent battles were similar, which made people understand why martial artists had such a high status. They earned their status through real fighting. Because there hadn't been any major wars in recent years, many people had objections to continuing to give martial arts universities so many resources. The purpose of holding the competition was to let everyone see that the real battlefield was much harsher than this.

After watching two matches, Jiang Yue had to go to class and could only watch the recordings when she got back at night. The matches were still very useful for Jiang Yue. Every day, she would have Bai Ze simulate these players and fight against her. In this kind of world, you can't just be a strong person without any fighting skills. Otherwise, you're just a fat piglet, ready to be slaughtered.
