Chapter 235 - Global University Tournament (5)
Sou -- Bang!
Sou -- Sou --
Bang!
The dense fireworks exploded, causing the windows to buzz.
Chen Yu gradually woke up from his sleep. He squinted his eyes and looked at the fireworks in the sky, appearing a little irritated.
"F*ck."
"What time is it? They're starting to shoot fireworks again."
"Isn't it good to refine this gunpowder into missiles and fight exotic beasts..."
Chen Yu, who was swearing, sat up and yawned. After being in a daze for a few minutes, he got out of bed to change and wash up.
Today was the opening day of the Global University Tournament.
The opening time was 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
After washing up, Chen Yu took out his phone and looked at the time. He found that it was still early, so he curled up on the sofa and started flipping through the 'Martial Arts Enlightenment From the Beginning To the Grave'.
After such a long period of 'IQ training,' his logical thinking, memory, and judgment had all improved significantly.
The once obscure book now basically did not take more than a minute to flip through each page.
The learning efficiency was faster than ordinary people.
According to Chen Yu's own prediction, he would be able to achieve the results of Duan Ye's six to seven years of learning in at most half a year.
"Tsk tsk"
With his tongue clicking, Chen Yu fantasized about his future immortal method of 'summoning wind and rain'. He was unable to contain his excitement and became even more excited as he watched.
"Mage, mage, how are you..."
...
At the same time.
In Bahuang Yi's villa.
Kacha!
Following a sound that sounded like glass shattering.
In the spacious basement, a transparent crack appeared out of thin air and cut off the metal target in the middle.
Dang!
The upper half of the metal target fell to the ground and smashed the tiles, causing sparks to fly.
"It's done."
"It's done!"
Duan Ye opened his eyes and maintained the posture of putting his hands together. He was so excited that his whole body was trembling. "God... God Yi! I've done it! I've learned it..."
"Okay."
In the corner, Bahuang Yi, who was wearing a long robe, nodded. His voice was calm. "The rest is up to you to practice on your own."
"God Yi..."
His emotions gradually reached their peak. Duan Ye looked at Bahuang Yi, and his nose felt sore. He said in a sobbing voice, "You're too good to me."
"..." Bahuang Yi did not answer.
"Are you taking me in as your disciple?"
"..." Bahuang Yi still did not answer.
The basement suddenly fell into a short silence.
After spending so many days together, Duan Ye had a good understanding of Bahuang Yi's personality. He did not let his thoughts run wild because of the other party's silence.
Suppressing the excitement in his chest, Duan Ye straightened his body and bowed deeply to Bahuang Yi. "God Yi, I know how precious this martial art is. It is priceless and hard to buy with a thousand gold coins. No matter what you think of me, in the future, I will treat you as my master."
Bahuang Yi looked at Duan Ye. There was no emotion in his pair of black eyes.
After a long while, he gestured with his hand and said, "Come here."
"Yes." Duan Ye immediately strode forward.
"I said I would teach you two skills. First, you have learned my optimized space martial arts. Second, you haven't learned how to use martial arts without activating your Qi."
"You... You want to continue teaching me the second one?"
"Yes." Bahuang Yi nodded. "Usually, this kind of technique that doesn't release Qi but can use martial arts needs to be at least Level 6. But there is a tool that can do this as long as you hold it in your hand."
"You mean..." After thinking for half a second, Duan Ye was suddenly shocked. "It's... It's the Haotian Staff?"
"Yes." Bahuang Yi stretched out his fist.
Dong!
He smashed open the wall of the basement and took out a huge black staff that was about two meters long.
The head of the staff was irregularly round.
At the end of the staff was a sharp spike.
Then... He handed the staff to Duan Ye. "The Haotian Staff, also known as the Clear Sky Staff, is an item produced in the supernatural realm of Haotian. As long as the user's skin comes into contact with it, they will enter a clear state. They can skip the steps of explosive force and use the force circuit."
"The Clear Sky Staff..." Duan Ye's eyes widened. "This... This is a national treasure..."
"Yes."
"Is it the one the country gave you?"
"There's only one Haotian Staff in the world," Bahuang Yi said expressionlessly. "You can keep it with you at all times. If you keep it with you for a long time, you can keep it in a bright state even if it's out of your hand. That's how I practiced it."
"God Yi... it's too valuable."
"Take it."
"...I can't take it."
"Give it back to me after you learn the illumination technique."
"..."
Looking at the slender staff that was filled with a strange beauty, the desire in his heart gradually gained the upper hand.
Slowly, Duan Ye reached out his trembling hand and grabbed the staff's handle.
In an instant!
The world was clear.
His vision was bright.
Everything in his eyes seemed to be instantly turned on a 'sharp' filter...
"Try it." Bahuang Yi made a gesture of invitation.
Duan Ye immediately turned around, holding the staff in his left hand and pointing at the broken metal target with his right hand.
Crack!
In less than a second, a space crack appeared.
Another piece of the target was cut off.
And throughout the whole process, he did not take any steps to explode his power.
"It's too incredible..."
Duan Ye was shocked on the spot.
"Then that's it." Bahuang Yi stood up, put on his hood, and left on his own. "Wrap the staff with a cloth to avoid exposing your wealth. I've taught you everything you need to know. Don't come again in the future."
Looking at Bahuang Yi's thin figure leaving.
Duan Ye was stunned for a long time. Finally, he suppressed his complicated emotions and bowed deeply again.
Then, he stood up and was drowned in the wild joy that surged up from the bottom of his heart.
With this staff, he would no longer need to have a long period of 'explosive Qi' before using his Qi martial arts.
He would have a close-combat quick-attack ability that was faster than ordinary physical martial arts majors!
"Tsk tsk."
With his tongue clicking, he fantasized about his future 'only speed cannot be broken' heroic means. Duan Ye could not contain his excitement.
"Warrior, warrior is good..."
...
The time arrived at 11 o'clock in the afternoon.
Pa.
Chen Yu closed the thick book, stood up, and stretched.
"It's time to go."
Smacking his lips, with the dream of becoming a mage in his heart, Chen Yu put on his coat, pushed open the door, and walked out of the dormitory.
When the door opened, he could not help but be shocked.
Outside the door, there was actually a person standing -- Bahuang Yao.
"Brother Yu." The originally drowsy girl immediately woke up. "You're out."
"Didn't we say to gather at the West School Gate?" Chen Yu looked her up and down. "Why are you here? How long have you been standing there?"
"It's... It's been a while."
"You didn't knock?"
"I was afraid that you would wake up if you were sleeping."
"This... is particular. It's making me feel embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, Bahuang Yao lowered her head shyly.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu also thought of the 'relationship' between the two of them and immediately felt that there was a hint of ambiguity in the scene.
"Emm..."
Scratching his ears, Chen Yu closed the door and said, "Then let's go. There's still an hour before the opening ceremony starts. It's going to be too late."
"Okay." The young girl nodded and obediently followed behind Chen Yu.
The two of them walked out of the dormitory building together and arrived at the West School Gate. They saw Duan Ye also come over. He was leaning coolly against the doorpost and was even hugging a staff that was tightly wrapped in cotton cloth.
Walking in front of Duan Ye, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. "Are you trying to act cool?"
"Isn't it obvious? Quick, take a picture. Find a better angle."
"I thought you were at Bahuang Yi's place and wouldn't come."
"During the opening ceremony, God Yi is going to give a speech, so he definitely has to go out. and... I've already become a disciple."
Duan Ye was pleased with himself. He shook the staff in his arms. "Look, a formal ceremony."
Chen Yu cocked his head: "What is this?"
"Take a picture. I'll explain later."
Chen Yu pursed his lips and waved his hand. "Xiao Yao, take a picture of him."
"Okay." Bahuang Yao nodded, took out her old phone, and opened the camera function.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Chen Yu: "Do you want to shoot?"
"The... The camera hasn't been turned on yet." The young girl anxiously tapped on the screen that was stuck. "Almost, almost done."
"..."
"..."
Duan Ye: "...Brother Yu, the opening ceremony is almost over."
"It's over." Chen Yu pushed the girl away and took out his phone. He snapped a few pictures. "Alright, let's go."
"Brother Yu, let me take a look."
Duan Ye put away his pose and jumped over excitedly. He snatched Chen Yu's phone to take a look.
Then, his face darkened."...Are you taking a selfie here?"
Chen Yu snatched his phone back. "You didn't say who you wanted to take a photo of."
"No, no, give me two. Quick, quick, quick..."
"Let's go. Take a selfie with your own phone."
"Didn't I lose my phone?"
"F*ck your grandpa, you deserve it."
...
The three of them chatted and laughed along the way. They arrived at the Bird's Nest Stadium on the west side of the city just before 12 o'clock sharp.
The large square, which could accommodate 100,000 people, was already packed to the brim.
Below, there were heads, heads, and heads.
Above, there were flowers, banners, and hot air balloons.
Cheers, crowding, screams, curses, and shouts could be heard without end.
The scene was extremely lively.
"Friends from the 4 o'clock direction."
On the roof of a stage car, a staff member holding a microphone waved at the crowd in Chen Yu's direction. "Please don't crowd and push. Newcomers, walk over from my side and head towards Entrance 15. Wait for the queue to enter."
"Everyone, hurry up!"
"The Global University Tournament is about to begin...."
