As Lin Yao stood on the platform watching the battle in the arena, he felt that he had a long way to go. Lin Yao had a cold and aloof expression on his face, as he was not familiar with the people on the platform.

What he didn’t know was that he was being watched by people at the moment. Besides the students from school, people from society were watching him too.

Although this world had gone through Spirit Energy Revival and mankind had lost a lot of territories, they had not been completely defeated. Human technology had not failed like in the other novels either. Therefore, technology could coexist with spirit energy.

Most of the technology creations of the 21st century continued to exist after the Spirit Energy Revival. Lin Yao’s favorite, the internet, was one of them, and so was live streaming, which had emerged with the internet’s development.

However, unlike the live streams before the Spirit Energy Revival, which had largely been related to games, the most popular live streams after the Spirit Energy Revival were battles between martial artists.

Watching martial artist competitions was the citizens’ favorite pastime. Each time the city had a competition, in addition to selling tickets to earn some money, the major live-streaming platforms would also send people to follow up on it.

Of course, the competition organized by Lin Yao’s school was too low-level, and none of the live-streaming platforms were interested.

Despite the absence of live-streaming platforms, freelance live streamers were recording the competition.

One of them was a girl studying in school. She was very sweet-looking, but she didn’t like to practice martial arts. Therefore, she had chosen a different career path from ordinary people. After becoming an online streamer a year ago, she had garnered tens of thousands of fans, even though she was not yet famous.

At the moment, as the young geniuses of Ninghai No. 4 High School fought in the arena, she was secretly live-streaming the event. At the request of her online fans, she was aiming the camera lens at Lin Yao.

“Who is that young man? If I am not mistaken, he’s shining.”

“He’s so dashing. This is going to be my husband.”

“Meat Bun, go and interview that handsome guy.”

“There is no way to interview him. This is a school assessment. If I walk around, I will be punished by the instructors. I’m sure you guys don’t want to see my legs wobble.”

“No, we would love to see that.”

“Agreed.”

“GKD

“Meat Bun, don’t shoot the competition anymore. Shoot that young man instead.”

The battles between the third-year senior high school students were not that exciting, as they had not fully developed their combat skills. The group of people watching the live stream asked the girl, who was named Zheng Luo, to pay attention to the handsome men and beauties in the school.

Lin Yao’s appearance was quite striking, so he was filmed from time to time. When he went on the platform again, a large number of people instructed Zheng Luo to focus the camera on him.

Zheng Luo also understood this very well. She pointed the camera at Lin Yao to adhere to the request of the audience. Unfortunately, the battle in the arena ended very quickly.

After all, Lin Yao was now facing an ordinary elite. While the sun was shining on him, Lin Yao’s Armored Body of Light had been activated, and he had already crushed the opponent in terms of physical strength. In combination with his rogue ability, he was simply bullying others.

As the light was refracted and the Clear Mirror Body Technique unfolded, the opponent was completely blinded.

By relying on a well-developed internet network, the martial artist who fought against Lin Yao already knew the characteristics of Lin Yao’s techniques. He also knew that Lin Yao did not have an illusion skill and relied on the refraction of light to mislead the opponent’s eyes.

Despite knowing this, he had no way of dealing with this. At the moment, he didn’t know if the image he was seeing was Lin Yao’s body or a refracted image.

‘Is the figure charging toward me real? No, it shouldn’t be. But if this is fake, where’s the real body? Is it on the left, on the right, or behind the image?’

An endless dilemma ensued in his heart, but by now, Lin Yao had already closed in on him. A dazzling sword gleam suddenly appeared.

Clang.

The beautiful sword gleam was splendorous and striking. Upon seeing the sword gleam, the martial artist fighting against Lin Yao realized that he had been wrong. This figure was real.

However, it was too late. The Sword-Drawing Technique was known for its speed, and he might not necessarily be able to dodge it even if he went on full defense mode, let alone while he was in a dilemma.

While he was illuminated by the sun, Lin Yao’s Armored Body of Light had been activated, and the speed of his power was 30% faster than his opponent’s. As a result of various factors, the opponent could not even block one sword move from Lin Yao. He could only watch helplessly as the long sword with the dazzling gleam streaked across his resisting arm and slammed into his body viciously.

There was a deafening bang, and the sword flickered. The student’s body was then flung into the air.

With one sword, Lin Yao had defeated his opponents and clinched one of the top eight out of the 15 places.

At this point, Lin Yao’s battles ended for the day.

From beginning to end, he had only used four sword moves.

The students below the platform also realized this.

“He’s so handsome. If only I could be his girlfriend…”

“Dream on. Why would he fancy you?”

“Why not? Student Lin wooed Student Qin Xue before, and I’m not inferior to Student Qin Xue.”

This was the conversation the girls were having. The boys had helpless expressions on their faces as they stared at Lin Yao, playing it cool. However, the smarter ones had noticed what Lin Yao had done.

“Hey, did you notice that Lin Yao only used a total of four sword moves to deal with three opponents? Besides, he didn’t use the Clear Mirror Body Technique when fighting Zhan Xia. If he had done so, he would have used three moves against three opponents… Tsk… It seems that this guy is on par with Di Qiang.”

“How can he be compared to Di Qiang? He’s always using insidious moves…”

“You’d be really stupid to think that he is using insidious moves. Why don’t you use insidious moves to get the same ranking?”

“I…”

“He he… Don’t tell me that it’s all because of talent. No matter how jealous you are of other people’s talent, it won’t go away. Plus, Di Qiang’s comprehension ability is also a kind of talent. Are you going to say that Di Qiang relies only on his comprehension ability?”

“Admit it, Student Lin is already a powerhouse.”

…

After he beat three people with four sword moves, the students no longer regarded Lin Yao as a handsome himbo but as a powerful genius. However, all this did not have anything to do with Lin Yao. After confirming that he would get a spot at tomorrow’s competition, Lin Yao left the place immediately. He skipped the subsequent battles, as he felt that they would be boring.

‘Fighting for the quota is meaningless to me. The real challenge will come tomorrow. I will face Xu Wanqing and Di Qiang. One of them is an intermediate martial artist, and the other a genius who has comprehended full-body control. They are my true opponents.’

Lin Yao did not return to the training ground after leaving the venue. After notifying the one-eyed instructor, he left the school and headed to Professor Li’s research institute.

While walking, he also called Captain Li Shan and asked if he could enter the mysterious land again tonight.

“You are too anxious. The higher-ups have not decided. Even if they had, they wouldn’t allow us to make consecutive trips to the mysterious land.”

“Huh? Why?”

Sensing the questions on Lin Yao’s mind, Captain Li Shan said helplessly, “I really don’t know what to say about you. Although my subordinates are not afraid of entering the mysterious land and have the heart to sacrifice themselves for the country, we have to write our wills before we enter that place and make preparations. After the battle, my subordinates also need to visit the psychiatrist to ease their psychological stress… But you…”

As he listened to Captain Li Shan’s words, Lin Yao came back to his senses.

When the martial artists entered the mysterious land, it was neither an excursion nor a game. It was a life-and-death battle. The freaks had strange abilities and no one knew if they would be able to return next time. Therefore, there would be a long resting period before the fighters entered the place again. This was also done to relieve their psychological stress and let them reunite with their families.

Besides some war lunatics, most people could not endure the stress of entering this place every day.

“Sorry, I was not considerate enough. So, how many days do I need to wait?”

“A week or so. We usually enter the place once a week.”

“That’s a long time.”

“It’s already a very short time, okay? One week is the minimum timeframe stipulated by the country. Ordinary teams can only enter once in 15 days or even once a month.”

After communicating with Captain Li Shan, Lin Yao understood that under normal circumstances, in order to relieve the psychological stress of the soldiers, the country stipulated that each soldier could only enter the mysterious land once a week.

The country was concerned for the fighters. However, there were also missions to complete. After becoming a night guardsman or regular soldier, one had to enter the mysterious land once a month, and the same applied to geniuses who had obtained plenty of resources from the country during their developmental period.

As for the armed police, this was the department that coordinated internal conflict in the country, so they were not required to enter the place.

However, although entry was only mandatory once a month, because of China’s massive population, many people were entering the mysterious land during each rotation.

“Oh, I have to wait a week. That’s a long time.”

As he listened to Lin Yao sigh, the corner of Li Shan’s mouth twitched a little.

‘Damn it! Although I’ve heard of war lunatics, I didn’t expect to meet one today.’

While he was feeling speechless, he also consoled Lin Yao.

“Well, although you can’t enter the mysterious land, you’ll be tasked with missions if you become an external staff member of our team. You can’t be absent from our nightly patrols.”

Upon hearing him mention patrols, Lin Yao suddenly thought of something and hurriedly told Captain Li Shan, “In other words, your night guardsmen patrol every day. What exactly are you patrolling?”

“We are keeping watch over the freaks that escape from the mysterious land, of course!”
