Chapter 21 The Principal and Lü Yun's Shock!
The deathly silence lasted only a second before erupting into deafening commotion and screams.
"Holy crap!!!"
"Bai Lingxue's head armor was cleaved in two! That's practically beheading her!!"
"Wang Xing is too ruthless! He really shows no mercy to women!"
"Brother Xing is amazing! He went head-to-head with the White Tiger's Winged Form and still won?!"
"This movement technique...this swordsmanship...this is the first time I've ever seen anyone kill Bai Lingxue to this extent!"
……
The comments section went completely wild at this moment:
"Even someone as strong as Bai Lingxue lost; Brother Xing is defying the heavens!"
"Wait a minute, don't you guys think these two are a good match? Handsome man, beautiful woman, both very talented, aren't you going to ship them?"
"Don't ship these couples randomly, upstairs! This is called 'no fight, no friendship'!"
"I'm totally shipping them! A fierce tiger paired with a white tiger, a match made in heaven!"
In the audience, Cheng Kai stood frozen in place, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
Bai Lingxue, who had never been defeated in a battle of equal strength, actually lost? And lost so miserably, her head was completely severed...
Because the Beidou Metaverse is a simulated battle, the system's laws will not simulate real bloody scenes.
But everyone knows that if they actually get to the battlefield, Bai Lingxue's head will be destroyed along with the White Tiger Winged Mech's head.
Sun Donglai, who was at the very edge, was also completely stunned.
He watched Wang Xing's tall and straight figure on the live stream, and then looked at Bai Lingxue's stunningly beautiful face revealed beneath her shattered head armor. His feelings were extremely complicated.
"Ah Xing is so strong... but I can't feel happy for him."
Looking at Bai Lingxue's disheveled appearance, which she had never shown to anyone before, he felt a strange pang of heartache.
"When will I be able to catch up with Ah Xing? When will I be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bai Lingxue?"
Confusion and bewilderment surged like a tide, overflowing the dam and flooding his heart, leaving him like an empty shell forgotten on the beach.
……
In the real world, in the principal's office.
The teacup in Li Zhengyuan's hand suddenly tilted, spilling warm liquid all over his hand, but he was completely unaware.
His gaze lingered on Bai Lingxue's disheveled appearance for a moment, a flicker of heartache crossing his eyes, but it vanished in an instant with a smile: "Xiaoxue has always been dazzling; I actually really hope she can experience some setbacks, stumble a bit..."
"Old Lu!"
Then, Principal Li Zhengyuan turned to look at Lü Yun, his voice filled with excitement: "Wang Xing's movement technique... there's no mistake, it must be at the third level!"
"His movement technique and swordsmanship are both at the third tier! I was absolutely right to award Wang Xing the 'Person of the Year' award! This kid Wang Xing's potential is limitless!"
Lu Yun straightened up, his voice trembling with excitement: "Principal, you only saw his movement technique at level three? His swordsmanship at level three? But you didn't take a close look at his Three Forms of Breaking Army!"
Li Zhengyuan narrowed his eyes, replaying the final strike in his mind.
The moon's movement, the blade moving with the heart, the blood and qi resonating perfectly with the mecha, that harmonious and unhindered rhythm...
"Completed?!"
He gasped, "Wang Xing's swordsmanship is the Three Forms of Breaking Army that you taught him. Could it be... that he has already mastered this swordsmanship?!"
"That's right!"
"Absolutely perfect!"
Lu Yun nodded, his eyes gleaming: "The A-grade martial art, the Three Forms of Breaking the Army, is simple and unadorned, emphasizing foundation, offense, and defense. Mastering this sword technique is no less difficult than those flashy S-grade martial arts! But once mastered, the foundation of the sword technique is incredibly solid, making subsequent training in any sword technique twice as effective!"
Li Zhengyuan could no longer hold the teacup and it slammed onto the table with a soft "click." He muttered, "He's just a high school student... yet he already possesses a fully mastered martial art. His foundation is... terrifyingly strong."
"To be honest, I really wanted him to bring glory to the school in the Chengdu Hundred Schools Competition in December... If he were to represent the school, he would be the first student from a parallel class to do so."
"Principal, this is easy."
Lu Yun lowered his voice, a sly glint in his eyes, "We can just find a way to get him into the Yuanpei Class... Or how about we lower the requirements for the September entrance exam? As long as he gets into the top 15, he can enter the Yuanpei Class, how about that?"
Li Zhengyuan remained silent for a moment, then pondered.
He then slowly shook his head: "Times create heroes. In today's world, the process of becoming a mature and successful mech pilot involves enduring pain and overcoming difficulties. Besides, how could I possibly change the regulations I just announced?"
"That makes sense..."
Lu Yun nodded and sighed, "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their resolve..."
Li Zhengyuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and suddenly changed the subject, a slight smile playing on his lips:
"It's right to give him some challenges. But if he really can't get into the top ten, I can manipulate his actual scores to give him a boost and help him get into the top ten."
Lü Yun: "..."
He rolled his eyes, speechless. "Damn it, Old Li, you old fox!"
Li Zhengyuan smiled without saying a word, his gaze returning to the screen, his eyes filled with anticipation for the two people on the stage.
……
Inside the virtual arena.
A smile appeared on Wang Xing's face.
It wasn't because I won, but because the prompt from Xingyuan's Inner Strength rang in my mind:
Your agility has been upgraded from Tier 2 (98%) to Tier 3 (3%).
At the same time, the Beidou Yuan Universe settlement panel appeared above:
[Victory in this match]
[Points +3020]
Current rank: Silver 4-star 9478/10000
The moment the ending was announced, the scene erupted in uproar once again.
Wang Xing is only 500 points away from the Gold rank and could become the second Gold master at Rongcheng No. 2 High School at any time!
Bai Lingxue's information panel also displayed the following:
[Points -860]
Current rank: Gold 1-star 1460/10000
Although her performance was actually quite commendable and it wasn't a complete defeat... unfortunately, Wang Xing's health and mecha level were lower than hers, so the system judged her as having "failed in a battle with a lower level," and thus deducted points.
Fortunately, her battle was not one-sided, and she also demonstrated impressive marksmanship, so the points deducted were still within an acceptable range.
On the arena, Bai Lingxue slowly removed the shattered White Tiger mecha, revealing her stunningly beautiful face and perfect long legs.
She stared blankly at Wang Xing, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She wasn't immune to defeat, but those losses were always against powerful opponents whose qi and armor completely overwhelmed her. Today, however, she was the first to lose to an opponent of the same level... no, even two levels weaker than herself.
"Your combat skills... are impressive."
Her voice remained cold, yet it carried a hint of resentful defiance.
"I didn't expect your movement techniques and swordsmanship to have reached the third level. And that strike you just made... it shouldn't be just the minor achievement level."
Her beautiful eyes met Wang Xing's directly: "I have no excuse for losing this battle. But..."
"I still refuse to accept this!"
"I'd like to challenge you again if I have the chance in the future, and I hope you won't refuse me."
Wang Xing held out his hand, palm up: "5, cash or bank transfer?"
Bai Lingxue: "..."
Her clear, beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, a hint of anger in her voice as she questioned, "I was exchanging combat tips with you, and all you care about is money?!"
"Hmm... if I had to say something, you're already one of the strongest opponents I've ever defeated." Wang Xing thought for a moment: "You're good in every aspect, but you're just too eager to beat me. I've been playing defensively, trying to figure out your limits... Okay, I'm done. Let's add each other on WeChat. You'd better transfer the money to me; I rarely use cash."
Bai Lingxue stared at Wang Xing in silence for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled softly, a smile as gentle as melting snow.
This guy, he really only cares about money...
"it is good."
She took out her phone, lightly touched it to Wang Xing's phone, and exchanged WeChat contacts.
The battle was over, and most of the spectators had left, but a few remained in the stands, watching the scene with great interest.
Cheng Kai is one of them.
When he saw Wang Xing and Bai Lingxue exchanging WeChat messages on stage, a nameless rage surged within him. He abruptly jumped out of the audience area and onto the edge of the ring.
The rules of the metaverse wouldn't allow him to enter the arena, so he could only angrily pound on the ring: "Wang Xing! What are you doing? Publicly asking for WeChat?"
"What, you don't like me?" Wang Xing turned his head: "How about we get a private room and play a game? I'm actually planning to climb to Gold rank."
Cheng Kai's face instantly turned bright red, his neck shrank back, and his previous imposing manner vanished completely.
If Bai Lingxue can't beat someone, then it would be a waste for me to go up against her.
"I...I just thought you lacked gentlemanly manners. Who asks for WeChat after winning a fight?"
He threw out a boastful but cowardly remark, then turned and slunk away into the crowd.
Wang Xing shrugged and turned to look at Bai Lingxue.
Bai Lingxue had finished operating the system and looked up, saying, "It's turned around. Take a look."
Wang Xing looked down and saw a notification pop up on WeChat:
You have received a transfer of 50,000 Dragon Kingdom Coins.
Payer: Bai Lingxue
Without hesitation, Wang Xing clicked to receive the payment. Looking at the fluctuating numbers in his account balance, he smiled with satisfaction.
"He's definitely a straightforward person."
Wang Xingchao extended his hand to Bai Lingxue, "If you want to challenge me next time, just continue with this bet."
Bai Lingxue looked at the hand, then at the greedy look on his face, shook her head helplessly, but still reached out and gently shook his hand.
"Okay, but if you lose next time, you'll have to give me 5."
