Luo Yu looked at Li Zhenyue, who was radiating confidence, and without much expression, he yawned.
"I've been waiting so long I'm getting sleepy, just get on with it."
"Boom!"
Li Zhenyue's entire body emitted an astonishing aura as his powerful blood energy formed behind him like numerous huge ferocious beasts, spreading its intimidating force all around. Some of the new students with not too shabby strength staggered, subconsciously moved aside to avoid his sharp edge.
He coldly watched Luo Yu on the stage.
"You are strong."
"I recognize your strength,"
"But I hope in the dragon and tiger den that is Chuan Province Martial University, you can maintain humility."
Li Zhenyue's voice was decisive, like a great general who had fought through bloodshed, chastising his own soldiers.
The battles on the surrounding stages seemed to have come to a concerted halt.
All of the live broadcast screens switched to the angle showing Luo Yu and him.
After all, Li Zhenyue enjoyed a great reputation among the new students, and Luo Yu, as Xia Luo, had shown the stance of an astonishing dark horse.
Even various staff members from the school started joining in to watch the live stream.
As for the instructors, they had long since rushed over, eager to see whether it was the dark horse Xia Luo who was powerful or the already famous War God Li Zhenyue who was stronger.
After everyone saw War God Li Zhenyue's "teaching" of Luo Yu, they all turned their eyes to Luo Yu, wondering how he would respond.
They had already seen that this Xia Luo was not someone easy to deal with.
He appeared quite ordinary, but his abilities and temper were anything but.
But everyone could understand—who didn't have a temper among the talented?
This was a martial age, where as long as you were strong and didn't break the laws, the more character you had, the more people might like you.
Luo Yu looked indifferently at the imposing Li Zhenyue below, his blood energy surging.
"You're ——"
"Teaching me what to do?"
"Whish!!"
The whole place instantly buzzed.
Who doesn't love a good show, especially when it comes to Martial Examinees capable of getting into a top-notch Martial University, each of whom is a genius problem child.
Seeing such a sharp exchange, many couldn't help but whistle and stoke the flames.
"Fight!"
"Fight! Fight!"
"The winner is king! Fight already!"
The shouts rose like a tide, young people always overflowed with passion, exuding youthfulness.
Li Zhenyue nodded.
"Alright."
"Very good."
"I hope you still have the guts to talk to me like that when you're lying on the ground later."
He stomped heavily and the solid martial arts arena floor caved in, leaving behind a solid footprint.
This scene shocked many onlookers.
The arena's floor was cast from special materials, not so easily damaged; this proved just how astonishing Li Zhenyue's strength was.
"Boom——"
When Li Zhenyue landed on the stage, it was like a mountain smashing down, the stage shook slightly and a cracking sound was heard.
Without another word, he disappeared from where he stood.
Thud, thud, thud——
He charged towards Luo Yu like a rampaging mammoth elephant, triggering a series of earthquakes. His shoulders, heavy as iron hammers, smashed towards him.
Iron Mountain Lean.
A very common martial arts move, yet Li Zhenyue executed it with the grandeur of mountains flying towards him.
"Will Xia Luo dodge? If he doesn't, this will definitely be painful to bear."
"Is Li Zhenyue born with Divine Power? Without summoning Ancient Spirits, how can his aura be so terrifying, feeling like even the ground is trembling."
"It is said that Li Zhenyue does indeed have Divine Power, having once smashed a Mutant Mammoth Elephant with one hand."
Luo Yu, seemingly hearing the discussion from below, said:
"I could dodge."
"But there's no need to."
As soon as he finished talking, he replicated Li Zhenyue's Iron Mountain Lean perfectly, colliding in the same manner.
"Bang!"
The moment the two collided, a muffled sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed.
Then, it was seen that Li Zhenyue's muscles flowed like water, toughness infused within strength, dissipating the impact brought by Luo Yu.
The two were evenly matched.
Li Zhenyue voluntarily backed away, his eyes shining even brighter, he exclaimed:
"Among those who can compete with me in strength without summoning Ancient Spirits, you, Xia Luo, are one."
"Very good, you are worthy to be my opponent."
On the high platform where the principal and instructors were standing, the short-haired female martial artist Instructor Hua said in surprise: "If I'm not mistaken, did that Xia Luo just momentarily imitate Li Zhenyue's Iron Mountain Lean?"
"Instantly mimicking the opponent's moves? That can't be possible."
Shi Kai didn't speak, but the white-haired elder Yang Cang said: "Compared to the girl's Phantom Body Technique earlier, imitating Iron Mountain Lean, a technical but not too tricky move, is much easier. However, this Xia Luo definitely has a special talent. If he really can replicate others' moves on the fly, that would be terrifying."
"Indeed, to call him a prodigy would not be an overstatement." The other instructors' eyes sparkled with a special light, calculating their own little plans.
With such an outstanding student, who wouldn't want to take him as their own disciple?
Luo Yu looked at the imposing Li Zhenyue and slowly shook his head.
"But."
"Based on the strength you've shown so far, you are not yet qualified to be my opponent."
"Boom!"
The whole place exploded in uproar, the atmosphere ignited instantly, and screams filled the air.
"Woo! This tension is too much, I just love watching fights like this."
"Exciting! What genius doesn't show off? I'll hail Xia Luo as the supreme king of swagger; his words are so infuriating, hahaha."
