Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Chapter 126 It’s time to show real technology
After taking the high-speed train for nearly two hours, Ye Qingzhou finally arrived in Xingcheng and got off at the South Station.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, I'm already in Star City."

"Send someone to pick me up? No need, I can just take a taxi myself."

"Don't worry, you know my strength. If you encounter bad guys, what you should worry about is whether they can leave an intact body."

Ye Qingzhou hung up the phone and rejected Xu Lan's kindness of having someone pick him up, mainly because he didn't like being restrained and useless socializing.

Rather than owing others a favor for such a small matter as showing the way, he would rather take a taxi himself. It doesn't cost much money anyway, so why bother a stranger?
Outside the station, Ye Qingzhou took out his mobile phone and called a taxi through the taxi app.

The car arrived quickly. Through the window, Ye Qingzhou saw two beautiful girls sitting in the back seat. They were both very young, and from their dress, it could be seen that they were high school students who were inexperienced in the world.

Ye Qingzhou glanced at it without looking at it any further. He was in a hurry and didn't mind sharing a car with others, so he just sat in the passenger seat holding his sword bag.

However, one of the girls seemed to recognize him and asked tentatively with a questioning tone: "Ye Qingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou also turned around, looking surprised: "Who are you?"

"I'm Li Yan'er. We were classmates for three years in junior high school. You wouldn't have forgotten me, would you?"

Li Yan'er pouted her lips and her tone was a little complaining, but her eyebrows were curved and the smile on her face did not diminish, and it was obvious that she was not really angry.

"Well, I remember now. You are Li Yan'er."

Ye Qingzhou nodded seriously, and indeed found a familiar figure from the original owner's memory.

But the distant and unfamiliar attitude still made Li Yan'er's pretty face frown, and she muttered unhappily: "Good fellow, you really forgot about me."

Then she couldn't help but look at Ye Qingzhou carefully for a few times, and said in surprise: "I feel that you have changed a lot, I almost didn't recognize you."

Ye Qingzhou boasted without thinking and complimented Li Yan'er against his will: "You are much more beautiful than before, so I didn't recognize you."

"Hehe, I think you have completely forgotten about me, your old classmate!"

Li Yan'er obviously didn't believe Ye Qingzhou's nonsense.

Then Li Yan'er introduced her friend to Ye Qingzhou: "She is my classmate, Lu Jingyao."

"Hello, handsome guy."

Lu Jingyao greeted Ye Qingzhou enthusiastically. She was warm and cheerful, with a sweet smile that carried the flavor of youth.

Ye Qingzhou also nodded at her: "Hello."

Li Yan'er glanced at the sword bag in Ye Qingzhou's arms and was a little surprised: "You can take a sword on the high-speed train. Have you become an apprentice martial artist?"

In Dongji Country, professional martial artists enjoy many social benefits, including free travel on public transportation such as airplanes, high-speed trains, and buses.

In addition, going to the hospital for treatment is free and all expenses are reimbursed by the state. When buying a house, you can get a bank loan, register your household registration, and many other hidden benefits. It is hard to count the number of them. This shows how much support the government provides to martial artists.

Although apprentice martial artists cannot enjoy the same social welfare benefits as professional martial artists, they do have many privileges. For example, they can carry their own weapons through security checks when riding on public transportation such as airplanes and high-speed trains.

Because there were cases in the past where martial artists were attacked while transporting their weapons.

In addition, many martial artists' personal weapons were lost during shipment due to various reasons.

You know, the weapons that martial artists carry with them are all specially customized, and the materials are precious. Once lost, you can't buy back the same one even with the insurance compensation.

The economic loss is secondary. The key is that without the right weapons, who will be responsible if the game is lost?
So after all this, the country simply relaxed its controls in this area.

After all, it doesn't make much sense to restrict martial artists and not allow them to carry weapons on public transportation.

When facing ordinary people, if a martial artist wants to kill someone, he doesn't need to use any weapons at all. He can kill them with his bare hands and cut them into pieces.

Instead, it would be better to simply relax the regulations.

Ye Qingzhou nodded and replied: "Yes, martial arts practice is very interesting."

Lu Jingyao interrupted the topic and asked with a smile: "Ye Qingzhou, what level are you now? Li Yan'er is now at the elite level. She was almost selected as Mingde's martial arts rookie. Her strength is amazing."

"Elite level?"

Ye Qingzhou's mind was full of question marks. In Lingyun Cave, the weakest people he saw were all geniuses. In his heart, he had long regarded ordinary geniuses as rotten fish and shrimps.

As for the elite level?
He almost forgot there was such a level.

It has been more than a year since they last met, and Li Yan'er has no idea about Ye Qingzhou's recent situation: "Why, are you also an elite now?"

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "I'm not elite."

At this moment, he was obviously not a peerless genius who could be measured by normal levels.

To put it simply, Ye Qingzhou himself is at one level, while other martial arts apprentices use another level system.

There are four levels for trainee martial artists, or martial arts apprentices. In addition to the highest genius level, there are apprentice level, trainee level and elite level.

The apprentice level is the stage for laying the foundation. Any basic martial arts posture that can be practiced to the entry level is the apprentice level.

The trainee level is when one has mastered all six basic postures. This result is considered a pass for a high school graduate.

The elite level represents outstanding students. Those who can master any of the six basic postures can be considered the elite among high school students, basically one in a hundred.

Even though Ye Qingzhou is surrounded by geniuses and elites, there are actually very few elite martial arts apprentices. In each school, the top 20 students in the grade account for a very low proportion.

From this we can see that Li Yan'er's ability to reach the elite level is already very dazzling in the eyes of ordinary people.

That’s why Jingyao Lu is so proud and honored to have a friend like Lai Yan’er.

After listening to Ye Qingzhou's words, Lu Jingyao smiled and encouraged: "Then you have to work harder. If you have time, maybe you can ask Li Yan'er for more advice."

Ye Qingzhou could sense that Lu Jingyao had no ill intentions when she said these words, so he just smiled and said, "Yes."

Then he looked at Li Yan'er: "We can have a sparring match if there's a chance."

"Okay."

Li Yan'er didn't think much about it and agreed.

The three of them then got off the bus at Jilei Mountain together. It was obvious that their destination was the same.

It’s just that Ye Qingzhou came to Jilei Mountain and obtained the qualification to enter the secret realm.

As for Li Yan'er, she came here mainly to attend classes.

"Ye Qingzhou, your weapon is a sword, so your major should be swordsmanship."

"Yes."

"In the next few days, there will be a famous swordsman teaching in Jilei Mountain. You can go and take a look. Maybe you can learn something and benefit yourself a lot."

Li Yan'er majored in Thunder Force and was good at swordsmanship. Her weapons were twin swords, and her martial arts were mainly light, agile, and swift and changeable.

She came to Jilei Mountain this time for further studies.

The concentration of vital energy in Jilei Mountain is much higher than that in the outside world, and the interior is divided into three major areas.

The outermost open area is at the foot of the mountain. Basically, any martial artist with elite-level or above strength can queue up to make an appointment and enter to practice.

Entrance to the second level is restricted. Unless you are invited, you cannot enter no matter how eager you are.

As for the most core area, it is located on the top of the mountain, where grows a towering jujube tree that can attract thunder from the sky. It has survived the thunder and lightning countless times and has possessed extremely high spirituality.

However, because of this, the magnetic field near the jujube tree is abnormal, with frequent flashes of lightning, making it extremely dangerous. Not to mention ordinary people, even martial artists cannot approach it casually.

Every month, Jilei Mountain will only release twenty places, allowing the most outstanding martial arts talents to use the lightning-struck properties of the jujube tree to practice and quickly improve their skills.

It was here that Miao Yi broke through his thunder power to the great perfection realm, thus possessing powerful combat power.

If it weren't for the appearance of Ye Qingzhou, Miao Yi would be the number one genius in Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. It can be seen that Jilei Mountain is truly a holy place for civilian martial artists to practice.

Li Yan'er was obviously not here for the first time, so she introduced the specific situation of Jilei Mountain to Ye Qingzhou: "There are many martial arts schools stationed here. If you perform well, you may receive an invitation. For civilian martial artists like us, joining a martial arts school may be a good choice."

After that, Li Yan'er asked Ye Qingzhou for his opinion: "Have you ever thought about joining any school?" "No."

Ye Qingzhou shook his head directly. The main reason was that he had neither skills nor resources at the moment. Joining a martial arts school would not only be of no benefit, but he might even have to work like a slave for others in the future.

If he could choose, Ye Qingzhou still prefers a free and easy life.

After all, martial arts schools, to put it nicely, can provide all kinds of help and support to martial artists of civilian origin, but in the final analysis, they are also organizations established by humans.

As long as it is an organization, there will be exploitation and oppression from the top to the bottom. Therefore, unless Ye Qingzhou is invited to be the leader or elder, Ye Qingzhou will not bother to join any organization or force.

If someone doesn't want to be a dog, and there is only obligation but no benefits, why bother?
Ye Qingzhou is not a jerk, he doesn't have such a masochistic hobby.

Li Yan'er didn't know what Ye Qingzhou was thinking. She just felt that a person fighting alone would be too weak after all, so she had to persuade him: "If you have the opportunity, it would be better to join some famous and prestigious martial arts schools."

Lu Jingyao also echoed, "Yes, why don't you and Yan'er join the Shenxiao Sword Sect together? After all, you are old classmates and you can take care of each other."

After saying that, she winked at Li Yan'er - 'Sister, I can only help you up to this point.'

Li Yan'er rolled her eyes at her - "You are the one who is always making trouble!"

At this time, a figure hurriedly walked over here. The man was tall and had long arms. He walked with a steady step and a long breath. It was obvious that he was also a powerful master.

Ye Qingzhou did not look back, but used his cicada sense to sense it a little bit, and he knew in his heart: "A genius-level weakling, his strength is about the same as Miao Yi."

"Junior Sister Li."

The person who came spoke and it was obvious that he knew Li Yan'er.

"Brother Yuan."

Li Yan'er returned the gift politely, but she deliberately kept a distance from the other party.

Yuan Zhiyi is one of the inner disciples of the Shenxiao Sword Sect stationed in Jilei Mountain. He is a native of Xingcheng and a sophomore at Central South University. He is currently preparing for professional assessments.

As a top student from a prestigious university, with genius-level martial arts skills and the status of an inner disciple of the Shenxiao Sword Sect, Yuan Zhiyi has the script of a winner in life in his hands.

His future prospects are so bright that he has surpassed 99.9% of the people in Dongji Country.

For such a person, it is not difficult at all to find a partner.

But King Xiang had a dream, but the goddess was not interested.

Yuan Zhiyi fell in love with the gentle and charming Li Yan'er, but Li Yan'er didn't have any feelings for him. Every time he spoke to her, he always maintained a polite but deliberately distant attitude.

Yuan Zhiyi saw this and was worried.

When he heard today that his junior sister Li Yan'er was coming to Jilei Mountain, he immediately ran over to greet her. However, he saw a boy standing next to Li Yan'er, talking and laughing with his beloved girl.

Can't stand it!
Yuan Zhiyi walked up to greet him gracefully, then his sharp eyes fell on Ye Qingzhou, pretending to be indifferent and asked: "Who is this?"

Li Yan'er quickly stepped forward and introduced him: "His name is Ye Qingzhou, he is my junior high school classmate, and he happened to come to Jilei Mountain today. We met him when we were carpooling on the way."

"That's it..."

Yuan Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, but then became alert again. After all, old classmates are most likely to become old friends, so he did not dare to be careless at all.

No, I must let my junior sister know that I am her prince charming!

It's time to show the real technology!

As long as she sees how powerful I am, my junior sister will definitely fall deeply in love with me!

Yuan Zhiyi looked at Ye Qingzhou with a haughty look, and glanced at the three swords on Ye Qingzhou's waist. He smiled contemptuously at first, and then pretended to be calm and said: "You are a swordsman, right? Although I specialize in swordsmanship and my swordsmanship is just so-so, it should be enough for me to teach you. Do you want to spar with me?"

Ye Qingzhou blinked in astonishment, then shook his head: "Forget it, you are too weak, I am not interested."

"Um???"

Yuan Zhiyi was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead: "I'm weak? Do you know that I'm an inner disciple of the Divine Heaven Sword Sect? How dare you say I'm weak!"

Ye Qingzhou looked at Yuan Zhiyi with a puzzled expression: "Are the weaklings of the Divine Blade Sect not weaklings anymore?"

"you wanna die!"

Yuan Zhiyi pressed his hand on the knife, but he couldn't suppress the boiling anger in his heart. Ye Qingzhou's words were really too infuriating.

You keep calling yourself a weakling, but I’m a martial arts genius!
"Brother, please wait a moment, there must be some misunderstanding here."

Seeing that Yuan Zhiyi was about to attack Ye Qingzhou, Li Yan'er was immediately frightened. She quickly stood in front of Ye Qingzhou, then turned back and said anxiously: "Ye Qingzhou, apologize quickly."

Ye Qingzhou looked confused: "Why should I apologize? Did I say something wrong?"

"You guy!"

Li Yan'er stamped her feet in anger. Where did the timid and kind-hearted Ye Qingzhou go?

Now, not only has this old classmate's temperament changed, but his personality has also become a completely different person, and he speaks in an extremely arrogant manner.

"Junior sister, don't stop me!"

Yuan Zhiyi was extremely angry at this moment, and glared at Ye Qingzhou: "He is not only insulting me, but also insulting the entire Shenxiao Sword Sect!"

Zheng~
Drawing his sword from its sheath, Yuan Zhiyi's eyes were burning with anger. He pointed at Ye Qingzhou and scolded him, "Boy, I will make you understand today that the name of the Sword Sect cannot be insulted!"

Thunder power, an intermediate martial art in the great perfection realm, Thunder Slash!

As the sword was slashed out, lightning flashed between the blades. The power of thunder seemed to be able to tear everything apart, and it came whistling with a strong wind, with unparalleled power.

Yuan Zhiyi has fully understood the changes in the moves and can control them freely at will. This slashing blow fully demonstrates his powerful cultivation and superb sword skills.

Even if there was a mountain blocking his way at this moment, he would chop it down with one blow!

Unfortunately, such an attack was too weak for Ye Qingzhou, who had already mastered the Immortal Golden Body and the mountain power, and he completely lost all his strength.

Ye Qingzhou yawned lazily, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers at the oncoming knife light.

Hey~
Ye Qingzhou's fingers lightly tapped on Yuan Zhiyi's long sword, making a crisp sound of gold and jade clashing.

Then Yuan Zhiyi's face showed horror. He intuitively felt that the knife he had stabbed did not hit his finger, but hit the body of a speeding dump truck.

The overwhelming force was so overwhelming that his thunder power was directly shattered, and his knuckles cracked instantly, with blood flowing out.

Yuan Zhiyi's long sword flew out of his hand and flew dozens of meters away. After landing, it was inserted into a large rock. At the same time, the blade was still vibrating and buzzing.

"Like I told you, you're too weak."

After Ye Qingzhou finished speaking, he ignored Yuan Zhiyi who was standing there in a daze, but walked straight past him and started walking along the main road leading to the top of the mountain.

Li Yan'er and Lu Jingyao, who were still standing there, were both stunned.

Especially Li Yan'er, she was just thinking about how to stop Yuan Zhiyi and save Ye Qingzhou, but in the blink of an eye, her senior brother was defeated?

And they lost so miserably...

Lu Jingyao grabbed Li Yaner's arm: "Oh my God, is your old classmate so fierce?"

Li Yan'er smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know? He wasn't that powerful back then."

Originally he wanted to act big in front of his beloved junior sister, but in the end he ended up making a big fool of himself. Yuan Zhiyi felt that he had lost all his face and left in disgrace.

Lu Jingyao poked her friend with her fingertips and chuckled: "By the way, you two are quite a good match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

"Can you please stop pairing us up with each other? Ye Qingzhou and I are just classmates."

"But don't you two get along well?"

"You and I get along pretty well, should we also become a couple?"

"Hehe, if you like it, I have no objection."
