Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 63 Elite Students Strive for Ranking

The boy in the lead frowned and asked again, "Explain yourself clearly, who had their arm broken?"

"It's Zhang Hun!"

"That's really strange. A freshman actually managed to break Zhang Hun's arm. I remember Zhang Hun was also on the list of the top 100 elite students two months ago, right?"

"Not bad, Brother Gao, Zhang Hun is now ranked 98th on the list of the top 100 elite students."

The leading boy sneered, "Zhang Hun is really useless. He actually got beaten up by a freshman? He's really tarnishing the reputation of the top 100 elite students. Let's go take a look!"

With that, the group walked toward the battle arena.

The students watching from the arena made way for this group of people, and some of them muttered under their breath.

"Isn't that Gao Zhiyuan?"

"Gao Zhiyuan? Gao Zhiyuan, ranked twenty-fifth on the list of the top 100 elite students?"

"I know Gao Zhiyuan. He has extremely high blood pressure and a bad temper. He'll start a fight at the drop of a hat. Let's stay away from him and call it a day!"

……

At this moment, Gao Zhiyuan stepped onto the battle platform. He glanced at Zhang Hun, who was lying on the platform groaning in pain, and asked, "Zhang Hun, what happened to you? How come you can't even beat a newbie?"

"Brother Gao... Brother Gao..."

Because Zhang Hun's blood energy level had reached several tens of calories, his body's repair ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people. So, although he was injured, he managed to sit up with difficulty and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gao Zhiyuan.

"Stop talking nonsense. Look at you, you're just tarnishing the reputation of the top 100 elite students list."

Upon hearing Gao Zhiyuan's words, Zhang Hun immediately lowered his head in shame.

Although he was told that, he didn't dare to talk back.

He knew that Gao Zhiyuan's blood energy was twice that of his own, and if he angered Gao Zhiyuan, he would be out of a job in the Elite Class 1.

"I'm asking you, who beat you up like this?" Gao Zhiyuan asked again.

"He's a freshman in Elite Class 5, named Chen Lie!" Zhang Hun replied.

"Why is Chen Lie's Qi and Blood value so high?"

"It shouldn't be too high, right? It's just that he's agile and has a lot of combat experience. I was careless for a moment and that's why I was caught off guard."

"What excuse are you making? Ultimately, it's because you're useless!"

"this……"

Zhang Hun didn't dare to refute Gao Zhiyuan's words.

Gao Zhiyuan then asked, "Who is this Chen Lie? How can a newcomer be so awesome?"

"All I know is that he is a student in the Elite Class 5. Here is his photo, but I don't know anything else."

"Let me see the photos!" Gao Zhiyuan said.

"In my communicator."

Because his arm had been dislocated, Zhang Hun couldn't lift it and could only look at his pockets.

Standing on the battle platform, Gao Zhiyuan said to one of the elite students behind him, "You, go and get Zhang Hun's communicator. Let me see who this Chen Lie is."

"Yes, Brother Gao!"

The elite student went to Zhang Hun's side, took the communicator out of Zhang Hun's pocket, found the photo inside, and then handed the communicator to Gao Zhiyuan.

"Brother Gao, here you go!"

Gao Zhiyuan took the communicator and his expression changed: "This person is that newcomer from Elite Class 5?"

As he spoke, Gao Zhiyuan threw the communicator on the ground, and Zhang Hun immediately crawled over to take a look.

"It's him, he's Chen Lie from Elite Class 5," Zhang Hun said.

"Chen Lie?"

Gao Zhiyuan recalled the day before yesterday when he was scared away by the nutritional food stall next to the school.

Yang Xixi's Qi and Blood value was slightly higher than his own, yet she kept addressing Chen Lie as "Senior," making him think that Chen Lie was a martial arts genius from the province's youth genius group. He slunk away in embarrassment.

"So it turns out I was fooled by Yang Xixi!"

With that, Gao Zhiyuan turned and walked off the battle stage.

On the other side, Chen Lie and Wang Chen walked out together after having dinner in the restaurant of the elite campus.

On the way, Wang Chen said, "Chen Lie, you defeated Zhang Hun, so you can apply to the school to replace Zhang Hun on the list of the top 100 elite students."

I remember the elite student regulations stipulated that any student who made it into the top 100 elite students list for the first time would receive a substantial reward from the school.

"Oh? What kind of rewards are they?" Chen Lie asked.

Wang Chen said, "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but in short, the rewards are plentiful."

How do I apply?

"It's simple. You can log in to the official website of Dongchuan Provincial No.1 Key High School and apply there. Alternatively, you can follow the school's official WeChat account using the 'Green Bubble' feature and enter your student ID to apply."

"Then can you help me operate it?"

Chen Lie took out a communicator and handed it to Wang Chen.

"Simple!"

Wang Chen took Chen Lie's communicator, immediately found the school's official WeChat account in the search bar, then asked Chen Lie for his student ID, and then proceeded with a series of actions.

In less than ten minutes, Wang Chen had finished operating the device and then returned it to Chen Lie.

"I've applied for it for you. I see you have a lot of unread messages on your green bubble (a messaging platform), do you want to reply to them?"

"Let me see!"

Chen Lie took the communicator, glanced at the unread messages, and randomly clicked on one.

Qingchan: "Your surname is Chen? But I don't remember having any friends with the surname Chen?"

Qingchan: "Are you kidding me?"

After reading it, Chen Lie replied with "No" and immediately went back.

He remembered that in his previous life he had asked Lu Qingchan for Green Bubble, but Lu Qingchan said that she was focused on martial arts and didn't play with Green Bubble. He believed her, after all, Lu Qingchan's achievements were there, and it seemed that she really didn't have time to play with Green Bubble.

Perhaps Lu Qingchan wanted to sever her delusions about her, but he believed her to be true.

Looking back now, Chen Lie just finds it somewhat amusing.

Pushing aside his thoughts, Chen Lie clicked on another unread message.

Wei: "Mr. Chen Lie, the reward of one jin of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers issued by the Blue Star Spirit Master Association for passing the Spirit Master assessment has been distributed."

When I go to Dongchuan Province to trade with you in a few days, I'll take this to you, okay?

Chen Lie replied, "Okay."

He logged out of Green Bubble. Chen Lie put away his communicator.

"Have you finished everything?"

Chen Lie then asked Wang Chen.

"Alright, the elite campus has a total of ten battle arenas, and each battle arenas are monitored 24/7."

I have already uploaded the video of your battle with Zhang Hun on the arena to the school's official WeChat account as evidence.

Once the school approves it, you'll be able to replace Zhang Hun on the list of the top 100 elite students.

"good!"

"But Chen Lie, how can you, a freshman, be so strong?"

Don't let Zhang Hun's low ranking on the elite student list fool you; his health points are at least 60, possibly even 70. If you can defeat Zhang Hun, just how much health do you have?

"He's quite tall, taller than Zhang Hun," Chen Lie said.

"Then why did you only get into the elite class?"

Based on your grades, you should have been in the elite class by the first semester of your junior year, or even in your freshman year, right?

"Whether it's an elite class or not, it doesn't make much difference to me!" Chen Lie said.

"Then you must come from a wealthy family and look down on the subsidies and resources of the elite class. If my family is poor and has less than 10 million star coins, and I can't join the school's elite class, I'll end up completely impoverished by relying solely on my family for martial arts training sooner or later," Wang Chen said.

Chen Lie didn't reply, he just nodded and walked forward.

His family background might be slightly better than Wang Chen's, but only by a limited margin.

If a family does not support a martial arts student, it is an absolutely wealthy family; but if it does support a martial arts student, it may fall back into poverty within a few years.
