83: Chapter 83 The Rumor of 10,000 Points! The Arena Begins!

At seven o'clock in the evening, Su Lin was resting quietly in his room at the guesthouse.

At eight o'clock tonight, the information for tomorrow's arena tournament would be released.

He was waiting silently for eight o'clock to arrive when, unexpectedly, there was a knock at his door.

Opening the door, he saw that it was indeed Qin Chuan, who was drenched in sweat, looking as if he had rushed over in a hurry.

"Su Lin, why didn't you reply to my messages? Do you know? Someone actually got ten thousand points in this practical examination!!"

"I don't know who it is yet, but according to insiders, the ten thousand points is true. This is just too outrageous!"

Su Lin looked at the panting Qin Chuan.

"Did you just finish your exam? Why aren't you resting properly instead of running over here?"

"What do you think? It's because you didn't reply to my messages. Since the arena tournament is tomorrow, I came over to discuss how we should fight."

"Brother Su Lin, you're stronger than me; you can definitely give me some pointers."

As he spoke, Qin Chuan pulled a large bag from behind him, containing three or four cups of beautifully packaged milk tea.

"Look, I even brought milk tea."

"Come in."

Su Lin said, and he and Qin Chuan sat down in the room.

As soon as Qin Chuan sat down, he continued.

"Su Lin, do you know who that examinee with ten thousand points is? I hope I don't run into him in the arena tournament, or I'm done for."

"I guessed for the longest time on the way here and couldn't figure it out. Even the strongest young master of the Jiang Family only got a few thousand points, which is still far from ten thousand."

"Where did this prodigy come from to be able to get ten thousand points!?"

Su Lin opened a cup of the milk tea Qin Chuan had brought, took a quick sip, tasted the sweetness in his mouth, and nodded.

"Stop guessing. It's me."

"Huh??"

Qin Chuan's eyes widened. He tried to speak but choked, and the room fell into a brief silence.

"It really is you, Su Lin!"

In fact, Qin Chuan had wondered on the way if it might be Su Lin.

After all, ever since he met Su Lin, he had seen this guy shock people countless times.

For instance, when the two of them first arrived in Tianhai City, Su Lin had broken through to the Fourth Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.

A few days ago, Su Lin had even told him without reservation that he had reached the Seventh Stage of Meridian Opening Realm.

Qin Chuan was speechless. Breaking through from the fourth stage to the seventh stage in one month was something others couldn't do in a year. But Su Lin was definitely not an ordinary person; Qin Chuan had long since concluded that Su Lin was a martial arts genius even more heaven-defying than the young master of the Jiang Family.

Therefore, after a brief moment of calm, Qin Chuan accepted the fact that Su Lin had scored ten thousand points.

"Ten thousand points... How did you do it?"

For the sake of the milk tea Qin Chuan had brought, Su Lin briefly told him about the process of today's examination.

Qin Chuan gasped repeatedly as he listened.

"Amazing! Fighting ten high-level superior monsters at once! Ten thousand points doesn't even do you justice!"

"If there was no score cap for the exam, thirty thousand points would still be too low for you!"

Su Lin shook his head and said.

"Enough about me. How did your exam go today?"

Qin Chuan didn't hold back either and told him all about his exam.

Although Qin Chuan was only at the third stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, nearing the fourth, he had still achieved a good score of 533 points.

Such a score could already be considered average among the examinees in Tianhai City, at least it wouldn't drag down his other college entrance exam tests.

As the two chatted, time passed quickly, and it was exactly eight o'clock.

Both of their phones vibrated at the same time; the schedule for tomorrow's arena tournament had been sent to their phones.

The two opened their phones, and after a moment of contemplation, they began to discuss.

The information on their phones wasn't just for tomorrow's arena tournament; the entire schedule for the tournament was laid out, and everyone's schedule was different.

The arena tournament was divided into solo matches and melee battles.

Everyone's schedule included both types of matches.

For example, Su Lin's schedule clearly stated that he would be fighting a one-on-one arena match tomorrow, as would the first ten matches. After ten matches, he would have to fight three consecutive melee battles, and the last two matches would turn back into solo matches.

There were fifteen matches in total; he had twelve one-on-one arena matches interspersed with three melee battles.

Qin Chuan was different from him; Qin Chuan had thirteen one-on-one arena matches and two melee battles.

"Heaven help me, please don't match me up with you!"

Qin Chuan prayed.

"It's said that not only are there tens of thousands of spectators on-site, but there's also a live broadcast. If I get beaten up then, it would be truly humiliating."

Su Lin nodded. Although he didn't think he would be defeated or beaten up, he also didn't like to show his face or be exposed to the cameras.

"Tomorrow, I need to end the matches as quickly as possible."

The Tianhai City Martial Arts Arena was located in the city center and was a venue capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

At this moment, the place was bustling with noise, and the tens of thousands of seats were packed. Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation as they looked at the huge martial arts arena in the center.

There, this year's martial arts examinees would engage in fierce duels.

It wasn't just them who were looking forward to it; hundreds of cameras were set up around the arena, and the entire scene at the martial arts arena was being live-streamed online.

The official live stream chat was already flooded with a massive amount of comments.

"It's starting, it's starting! Let me see which powerful martial arts examinees appear this year!"

"Hahaha! This is the first time the martial arts college entrance exam is being live-streamed! I took time off work to watch this; examinees, don't let me down!"

"The college entrance exam now actually requires arena fighting! It's too intense. Back in my day, we only had to measure our stats. Times have really changed."

"..."

All over Tiannan Province, a certain number of people were glued to the live stream; some families were even watching the arena broadcast from start to finish.

The reason was simple: their own children were among the examinees participating in the arena tournament.

Over a decade of hard work, all culminating today!

How difficult it is to cultivate martial arts, and the martial arts arena tournament was the most direct way to prove one's martial arts strength.

But it was also the most cruel way.

All parents hoped that their children would perform valiantly on the live broadcast of the arena tournament and quickly become famous nationwide.

At the same time, they were afraid that their children would encounter powerful opponents and be cruelly defeated, not only suffering physical injuries but also being witnessed by millions and subjected to ridicule and humiliation.

With complex emotions, everyone watched the live stream, hoping that their child would be the next one to appear to resolve their worries, while also hoping that their child would appear later, and that the opponent they encountered would not be too strong.

In Jianghuo City, at the Principal's office of Jianghuo High School, Principal Li Youran stared at the computer screen in front of him.

"Su Lin, don't let us down. You are the only hope for Jianghuo City."

Su Lin was the only representative examinee from Jianghuo City. If Su Lin's performance was poor, the resources allocated to the various high schools in Jianghuo City next year would be significantly reduced.

At the Su family home, the three of them were rarely all sitting in front of the sofa, staring at the big TV in front of them.

The TV was connected to the internet, and what they were watching was the martial arts arena tournament in Tianhai City.

"When will Su Lin go on stage?"

"Brother, will you go on stage today?"

Sus Father and Su Xiaoyue looked at Sus Mother, who was wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Su Lin chatted with me on WeChat yesterday; he will be on stage today."

"This child! He actually said it would be boring and told us not to watch the live stream."
