Chapter 149: Eternal Dark Sea, Back to School!
428 victory points!
On the main screen at the venue, Qinglong Martial Arts University ranked first.

However, because Baihu Budo University gave up too many points to other schools, it only ranked second with 426 victory points.

"it's over!"

Qi Sui let out a sigh of relief, emptied his mind, and let his muscles return to normal. His tall and strong figure suddenly shrank a little to just over two meters.

Look at the career panel.

[Vitality: 436/660]

[Mental power: 88/610]

Vitality is still in the healthy green zone, but mental strength is running out.

After a little thought, he added the three attribute points given by upgrading his profession [Berserker Tyrant] from lv4 to lv5 a few days ago to the "Spirit" attribute.

Spirit: 61→64
It's like drinking a glass of ice water after hiking for several hours in the scorching desert. All the pores in your body are relaxed and you feel refreshed from head to toe.

The tired spirit was greatly relieved, and the bloodshot in the eyes faded a lot.

After taking a look at Huo Hu who had fainted in front of him, he did not kill him again. Instead, he walked off the stage with a calm expression under the awe and fanatical gaze of countless spectators.

When one party in the ring falls unconscious, the other party is absolutely forbidden to continue to attack, otherwise it will be classified as intentional injury and the legal responsibility will be pursued.

In this situation, Bai Yun did not continue to provoke or pressure Huo Hu, but just walked onto the stage quietly and checked Huo Hu's injuries.

The two arm bones are Huo Hu's proudest talent.

Taken from the forelimbs of the man-eating tiger king in the secret realm of the evil abyss.

But today it was kicked to pieces.

Even if Huo Hu recovers with the help of medical technology in the future, he can get a similar prosthesis installed.

However, since he had previously taken a large amount of drugs to inhibit gene rejection, his potential and talent were definitely not as good as before.

"Qi Sui, well done!"

Fang Jianxing gave him a thumbs up, a smile appeared on his cold lips: "Based on your performance today, you will definitely get the school's highest scholarship this year, you can look forward to it!"

Qi Sui smiled and nodded.

He would definitely not think that rewards, contribution points and the like were too much.

Gu Xiyue stood quietly in the outermost circle. She did not swarm around Qi Sui like the others and shout and yell to celebrate. Instead, she just stared absentmindedly at the clean and hearty smile on the boy's face.

When he was in the ring, he was full of ferocity, like a wild beast that had been hungry for days, wishing to eat his opponent alive.

But once the fight is over and he steps off the ring, he returns to his image of a simple, sunny boy, with an easy-going temperament and elegant manners.

"This guy...my teacher was right. His talent is even better than mine. He will definitely become a great man like my father in the future!"

Gu Xiyue smiled and was genuinely happy for Qi Sui's achievements today.

"Everyone, please make way and don't gather here. Your teacher Fang will pay for tonight's consumption!"

"Good! Good!"

"Let's go eat something delicious at Mojiang Hotel!"

"..."

Amidst the cheers, the group from Qinglong Martial Arts University left the venue.

As for post-match interviews and rewards, that’s all later.

On the other hand, the atmosphere at White Tiger Martial Arts University was completely the opposite. Everyone sat on their chairs with grim looks on their faces, as if their mother had died.

Second place result!

It is an honor for many schools, but a shame for them!

"The nine consecutive years of ranking first have come to an end today!" Bai Yun said in a hoarse voice.

No matter how angry or unwilling she was, she could only swallow her anger and say, "I am responsible for this matter. I was careless and underestimated the enemy. I will go to the principal to confess my guilt after returning to school!"

"Teacher Bai, this matter cannot be blamed on you. Who could have thought that a monster would appear in Qinglong Martial Arts University this year!" sighed another male master.

He had nothing to be unwilling about.

Qi Sui defeated Huo Hu with his brute force in the ring.

This is how martial arts works, if you are not as skilled as others you have to admit it!

The dwarf woman had a cold expression on her face and said, "He's lucky he didn't choose me as his opponent, otherwise he would have been the one to die!"

The woman's words were very confident, and no one present showed any doubt. That was the confidence and arrogance that could only be built up with absolute strength.

Cui Zhantian was wrapped in bandages, sitting in a wheelchair, and was pushed to the outside of the circle.

Looking at Huo Hu's miserable condition, he felt full of gloating, and even his hatred towards Qi Sui subsided a lot.

Ever since he lost the "Rookie of the Year" competition and his basic talents were damaged, he could feel that his friends who used to be very kind had become indifferent, and many of them even had sarcasm and mockery in their eyes.

"You look down on me, don't you? You'd better all be beaten to death by that guy named Qi. Huo Hu is already disabled, and it will be your turn soon!" He roared madly in his heart.

All living things!
People’s joys and sorrows are not shared!
Nothing has anything to do with Qi Sui!
……

"cheers!"

In a private room somewhere in a magnificent five-star hotel.

The table was littered with plates, and the banquet was coming to an end.

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them in the air, then drank them all.

Tonight, Qi Sui drank five kilograms of white wine by himself, but with his current muscle quality and mental strength, he couldn't even get slightly tipsy.

Gu Xiyue was the only one who didn't drink.

She sat next to Qi Sui, sipping a coconut drink.

"Okay, everyone, have you enjoyed your meal today? Go back home and have a good rest tonight. Don't be late for the flight back to school at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Fang Jianxing wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth and went to pay the bill first.

The others also dispersed in groups of three or five.

"Senior sister!"

Qi Sui fell at the back of the crowd.

"Ok?"

Gu Xiyue turned around and looked at him, a hint of doubt revealed on her delicate features.

"It's still early, why don't we go for a walk together?"

Qi Sui shook his watch and it showed just past eight o'clock.

"it is good!"

Gu Xiyue nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

Mojiang City is located near the sea and has very developed urban construction. It is famous for its magnificent night view and is known as the "Pearl" worldwide.

The two didn't go too far and walked onto a nearby cross-sea bridge.

Perhaps because in this era, the ocean has always been a symbol of bad luck, so there are few people on the cross-sea bridge, which makes it quite quiet and peaceful.

Under the orange street lights, two shadows were stretched out diagonally.

They did not stand close to each other like some couples passing by, but kept a distance of about 10 cm between each other.

The two chatted casually.

Qi Sui really enjoyed this cozy and relaxing atmosphere. After walking for a long time, he stopped, put his hands on the railing of the bridge, faced the sea with a deep gaze.

There is no wind tonight, and the sea level is very calm under the darkness, giving people infinite mysterious yearning and reverie.

But Qi Sui knew that the tranquility of the "Starfall Ocean" was only on the surface. Beneath it, there were undercurrents surging, breeding endless terrifying murderous intentions.

The most dangerous area on Canglan Star is not an exaggeration.

Even a martial arts master as strong as him would not dare to cross the river.

"To be honest, as an inland person, this is my first time seeing the sea!" Qi Sui squinted his eyes and enjoyed the gentle sea breeze.

"In fact, I have been living in Mojiang City since I was very young, so I am not unfamiliar with this sea area!" Gu Xiyue said in a cold tone.

"Then why did you return to Qinhai City later?" Qi Sui asked in surprise.

Whether in terms of economic level or martial arts education strength, Mojiang City is far stronger than Qinhai City.

"Because... my mother died in this sea." Gu Xiyue's beautiful eyes were blurred and her thoughts seemed to be lost in memories.

"Forehead--"

Qi Sui felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

He seldom heard the girl talk about her family matters, but every time she did, the occasion seemed somewhat inappropriate.

"I'm sorry, but you didn't remind me just now and kept walking here."

"That's all right!"

Gu Xiyue turned her head and looked over, forcing a smile on her expressionless face: "Do you think I'm that kind of fragile girl?" "As for my mother's matter, I have moved on a long time ago, and in fact, my father is less than fifty miles away from here."

"So close?"

Qi Sui showed a look of shock.

Although he didn't know the identity of Gu Xiyue's father, he guessed that he should at least be a martial arts master.

But for a martial arts master, fifty nautical miles is just a few minutes' journey.

"Didn't your father come to watch you play?"

"No, let alone my competition. When my mother died fighting a sea beast, he didn't show up to save her." Gu Xiyue laughed at herself.

Qi Sui remained silent.

He could feel that Gu Xiyue must have a deep grudge against her father.

Fifty nautical miles?

Qi Sui was speculating in his mind, and a name suddenly emerged.

"Senior Sister, is your father..."

"Well, as far as I can remember, he has been in the Eternal Dark Sea and rarely leaves." Gu Xiyue said softly.

In this era, the ocean is like a plague god. No country will compete for ocean territory, but will try to avoid it as much as possible.

The Eternal Dark Sea is such a high seas.

Rumor has it that there are huge waves there all year round, it is pitch black, the climate is harsh, and even the sun cannot reach there. It is the world-recognized number one secret place of death.

"It turns out that the country has always had defensive forces stationed there." Qi Sui said with some surprise.

I have never found any information about this in any news or on the Internet before. It seems that this must be a very secret decision made by the top leaders of the country.

"Well, in my father's words, the Eternal Dark Sea is too close to Xia Country. Once a disaster occurs, it will bring a devastating blow to the people living in the coastal areas." Gu Xiyue tried to make his tone sound more relaxed.

"Eternal darkness, waves!"

Qi Sui narrowed his eyes unconsciously. He always felt that this place gave him a very familiar feeling.

But I couldn't remember it for a while.

I noticed that the atmosphere had become a little depressed.

Qi Sui took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Senior Sister, it's getting late, let's go back!"

"it is good!"

The two left the cross-sea bridge and walked towards the Eye of the Demon River.

On the way, Qi Sui mentioned what Lin Qingwei had said about the celebration party and asked, "Senior sister, have you decided what show you are going to perform at the celebration party on January 1?"

"A show? Do I have to put on a show?"

The girl frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy.

"We, the freshmen who are competing as substitutes, should not be able to escape!"

At this point, Qi Sui looked at the girl's delicate and pretty profile, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: "Senior Sister, do you think it would be very good if we go up and dance together?"

"dance?"

Gu Xiyue showed a surprised expression and murmured: "I know martial arts, but I have never been exposed to dance."

"It's okay. Dancing is not difficult for us. We can just watch and learn a few steps." Qi Sui said with a smile.

Dancing is not like singing. It is difficult to change the tone of voice through acquired efforts. In the final analysis, dancing is just a test of the body's coordination and flexibility.

What martial artists like them lack the least is control over their bodies.

"And there are rewards too. The program with the highest support rate can eat for free in the school cafeteria for a month!"

The reward is not expensive, it is more of a bonus, but it is still very attractive to many poor college students.

"Joint dance...is it a duet?" Gu Xiyue asked hesitantly.

"Yes!" Qi Sui nodded.

Gu Xiyue stared into the boy's clear eyes, nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, I'll go back and try!"

"The difficulty lies in choosing a dance. As for practicing... considering our level, we can just take some time out!"

Qi Sui's smile grew brighter, and he felt happy that his plan had succeeded.

His eyes fell on the girl's long, straight legs wrapped in jeans. What a waste of talent! He finally found a chance to let her try other clothing styles.

And maybe you can take this opportunity to trigger a career similar to [Dancer].

……

Silent all night.

It was just daybreak the next day.

Everyone at Qinglong Martial Arts University packed their luggage, gathered at the gate, and then took the venue's special car directly to the airport.

As for Shen Luoyan, because her injuries were too serious, she needed to continue staying in the hospital to recuperate and did not return to school with them.

Ticket checking, security check, and boarding!
All processes are in order.

The blue martial arts school uniforms they wore attracted a lot of attention and cheers from the crowd along the way.

Especially since the Hundred Schools Martial Arts Conference had just ended, Qinglong Martial Arts University once again reached the top after a decade, and the last few battles had pushed out all the depression that had accumulated over the years, and its prestige and momentum were almost on par with those of ten years ago.

As a star player, Qi Sui could not avoid a lot of harassment.

Fans kept rushing up to ask for autographs and photos.

This situation continued until we entered the cabin.

"call--"

Qi Sui let out a long breath and sweated profusely.

Dealing with those crazy female fans feels more tiring than fighting with Huo Hu.

Really, it’s okay to take a photo, but why are you touching me randomly?

You have no eyesight at all. Didn’t you see Gu Xiyue standing right next to you?
He strongly believes that the country should enact laws and regulations on the protection of men as soon as possible and should not allow these female perverts to do whatever they want.

"I never thought that participating in a Hundred Schools Martial Arts Tournament would bring such an exaggerated amount of exposure. It seems that I will have to wear a mask when I go out in the future."

Qi Sui thought of the green-faced, fang-toothed mask he wore before.

I haven't used it for a long time and it has been gathering dust in a secret place.

Lin Qingwei covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Being famous is not good enough. People like us who are small characters don't have what we want. If you become a celebrity warrior and take on some advertising endorsements, the money will flow into your pocket."

Wu Qiang's tone became more serious: "Captain, don't worry too much. It's mainly because the conference just ended and your performance was so outstanding. After a few days when the heat has died down, this situation will calm down a lot."

Ma Weiwei added with a smile: "The popularity outside will definitely subside, but it won't in our school. Captain, you probably don't know that you have become a school celebrity now. In terms of reputation, only Senior Sister Shen Luoyan can barely suppress you."

"I heard that they are planning to hold a welcome party to welcome back our great hero!"

"Ah~ This is too troublesome, can we not go?"

Qi Sui had no interest in this kind of welcome party at all. It was nothing more than a bunch of people surrounding him and blowing his own trumpet.

As a few people were chatting and laughing, the plane took off smoothly.

All safe on the journey.

soon.

The stewardess's announcement came from the cabin.

"Charming Tianfu, welcome to your arrival. The plane will arrive in Tianfu in three minutes. Passengers, please..."

"came back!"

Qi Sui yawned.

The journey was too long, so he took the opportunity to take a short nap.

At this moment, Fang Jianxing, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly spoke up: "Qi Sui, you performed very well this time and defended the honor of the school. In order to commend you for everything you have done, the school is asking for your ideas. Do you want any reward?"

"Extraordinary things, is that okay?" Qi Sui asked without hesitation.

He has no shortage of contribution points for the time being, and he still has several basic professions waiting to be upgraded with extraordinary things.

"It should be no problem. Our school has quite a lot of extraordinary items in reserve. I'll convey your request to the school later."

"Then thank you, Teacher Fang!"

Qi Sui smiled slightly.

If it were in the past, it would have been absolutely impossible for a martial artist to come into contact with extraordinary things.

But now!
He could feel that the school was already giving him special training!
