Chapter 165: Could Have An Easy Life Based On His Looks

“One Sword is well-known for his fast moves. After that night, the two of them haven’t looked very happy. This…”

Fortunately, Lin Yao did not know. Otherwise, a tragedy would have happened here.

Thanks to the appearance of the Lord of Light, Lin Yao was able to control the light element within a radius of 50 meters. This also enabled the refraction distance of the Clear Mirror Body Technique of the Clear Mirror Swordsmanship that he had learned to reach 50 meters.

In fact, Lin Yao felt that he might even be able to achieve optical invisibility.

It was just that he had only advanced yesterday and he’d had no time to practice.

‘In other words, I have to read up on the physics behind the light attribute abilities to master optical invisibility. I am speechless. After transmigrating, I have to learn about electromagnetism and light attribute abilities.’

Lin Yao was walking while complaining to himself. When he was about 30 meters away from No. 4 High School, Tu Hong suddenly looked to his side. “You are here.”

“How did you manage to see me?”

As these words were heard, the distant figure suddenly dissipated, and Lin Yao’s figure abruptly appeared beside Tu Hong.

Tu Hong pointed to his ears in response to Lin Yao’s question. “I heard you. There might seem to be no countermeasure to your ability, but it only affects the vision. Those who are good at hearing or who have a good sense of smell can easily locate you.”

Tu Hong seemed calm while explaining this to Lin Yao. However, only he was aware of the difficulties of such abilities.

People with acute hearing could indeed hear Lin Yao’s position, but that was the only thing they could hear. It was basically impossible to detect the angle of Lin Yao’s sword, which was similar to martial artists with an excellent sense of smell.

When observing things, ordinary people were very dependent on their vision. About 80% of the knowledge and memory in the brain was obtained through the eyes. Even if someone was specially trained in blind warfare, they would still be at a disadvantage when they closed their eyes to fight with a normal person.

Light occlusion was really useful at low levels. However, Tu Hong, who wanted to maintain his last trace of dignity as an instructor, did not praise him for his abilities.

Lin Yao, who revealed himself and chatted with Instructor Tu Hong, noticed that other people were here as well. He raised his hands in greeting.

Upon seeing this, those people responded quickly, but Lin Yao noticed teasing smiles on everyone’s faces. Obviously, they also knew what had happened this morning, which made Lin Yao, who was in a bad mood, feel worse.

“Why are all of you here? As I recall, you don’t have to compete today.”

As soon as he said this, the smiles disappeared from Zhang Feng’s and Tu Ying’s faces.

“Scoundrel, we’re still friends.”

“I told you not to come to cheer for this guy.”

Tu Ying and Zhang Feng were yelling at each other, while Yan Yan, who had a sullen expression on her face, stood far away. However, Lin Yao could still feel a strong chill from a distance. It was so cold that Lin Yao suspected that Yan Yan’s talent had advanced to another level.

Upon seeing her cold and indifferent figure, Lin Yao felt a little embarrassed. He knew the reason she was so aloof. However, he did not explain himself.

Like he used to say, girls who had a cool temperament were too good for him. Since he could not give them what they wanted, it would be better to forget each other and lead a much better life on their own.

Ignoring the indifferent Yan Yan, Lin Yao took a seat and waited for the start of the battle. Next to him, Tu Hong placed the detailed information of every player in the top 36 (the four warlords would be participating in the individual competition as well) in front of Lin Yao, preparing him for the battle.

Lin Yao ignored most of the information on the martial artists. It was true that by knowing oneself and the enemy, one would never be defeated, However, this was only an arena competition. Lin Yao regarded this as a trial before the real battle, and in real battles, he could run into any situation. Therefore, he was not worried about encountering unexpected enemies. Instead, he was looking forward to it.

Although Lin Yao ignored most of the information, Instructor Tu Hong’s comment caught his attention.

“Regardless of whether you win or lose, this should be your last battle.”

“What do you mean?”

“No. 1 High School will go all out in the next battle. For the school’s senior management, the results of the youth competition are a representation of their political achievements. In order to ensure the best results, No. 1 High School will do its best to eliminate students who do not belong to their school. It is still fine for the top 36 students. They will not use their trump cards as soon as the battle begins. Instead, they will arrange for martial artists to go against martial artists. However, after winning this time, you will go up against a warlord in the next battle.”

It was foolish to believe that the opponent one encountered in the competition would be random. Lin Yao was not a fool. He closed his eyes and sensed the angelic holy infant in his Sea of Consciousness. That was his hidden trump card against the warlords.

‘I hope that I will not need to use the hidden trump card the first time I go up against a warlord. It can only recover in seven days.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao looked at the contestants from other cities.

At present, he somewhat hoped that these people would prove themselves to be powerful. As the biggest BOSS, the opponent that No. 1 High School would first deal with had to be these outsiders, followed by locals like Lin Yao, who was not from No. 1 High School. If the outsiders could secure four places in the next round, he would not need to go up against the warlords.

‘One, two, three… eight, nine. There’s a lot. It’s really possible.’

Since they’d managed to enter the competition despite coming from different provinces, they had to be very powerful. Compared to local ordinary people, although they were fewer in number, many of them had advanced through the competition. A total of nine people had managed to be in the top 36. In contrast, apart from Ninghai City No. 1 High School, only one person other than Lin Yao was in the top 36.

The battles of the top 36 were not conducted all at once in several arenas but one after another. After the speech made by the high-level official, the competition started quickly amidst fierce drumming sounds.

Unlike what Lin Yao had hoped for, the players from other cities would go up against each other. No. 1 High School, who was the local overlord, would instead be fighting against everyone.

At the same time, there were also posts on the local forum of Ninghai City that explained the purpose of the outsiders and highlighted the dominance of Ninghai City while praising them for what they did.

“Good one. No. 1 High School will not yield an inch.”

“Damn those scoundrels. How dare they come to our place to participate in the competition? Did they think we are easy targets to bully?”

“In the past, I always felt that No. 1 High School had robbed us of our resources. Now, I feel that they are not bad either. They will stand up to the outsiders.”

“All the best, No. 1 High School. Don’t let other people look down on our city.”

…

Lin Yao was browsing through the posts and replies out of boredom. One thing was certain: Someone behind the scenes was leading the chat.

However, Lin Yao quickly shook his head.

‘There are indeed a lot of cheap tricks. However, the capabilities of martial artists are still more important. All these justifications are not as useful as real results in the arena when it comes to convincing people.’

This was Lin Yao’s opinion. No. 1 High School did not do very well in the competition. They suffered six defeats in nine battles. The forum was dead silent over their results, and the audience under the stage did not look too happy either.

Amid this atmosphere, it was Lin Yao’s turn to fight. He was the tenth person to enter the arena.

Lin Yao put down his crystal sword and handed it to Instructor Tu Hong so he could watch over it before picking up a standard long sword from the side of the arena. Lin Yao stared indifferently at his opponent.

He was a potential warlord, and his Iron Body had completely surpassed 100%. Lin Yao raised his eyebrows in surprise after sensing the aura of his opponent.

‘I am surprised there are still experts who haven’t been assigned to go up against the outsiders!’

Lin Yao was shocked and helpless. Their first target was naturally the outsiders, but Lin Yao was a powerful presence, as he had defeated the enemy using one sword move, and his appearance was too eye-catching. The latter had already attracted a large number of fans.

These people were still very young and admired Lin Yao’s handsome style the most. Since they were young, they liked to praise their idol and they attacked the people they disliked on the Internet. They would naturally praise Lin Yao, and in order to show that Lin Yao was powerful, their target of criticism was undoubtedly No. 1 High School.

Too many posts on local forums were saying that Lin Yao only used one sword move against his enemies and was far better than the so-called elites from No. 1 High School.

This irritated many people in No. 1 High School, but it was still not a big deal. The problem was that many young people with talent who were still in middle school no longer wanted to sign a contract with No. 1 High School to join their school due to Lin Yao’s influence.

Such a conflict of interest was unbearable.

Therefore, even if they had to spare an outsider, the senior management of No. 1 High School still gritted its teeth and arranged for a powerful figure among the martial artists to go up against Lin Yao. They had to defeat Lin Yao on the stage, and a clear victory would be best.

Lin Yao had no idea what was going on behind the scenes of the match in the arena. Right now, he looked at the opponent cautiously.

While the two opponents faced each other in the arena, E Longsheng, the commentator who had all the information on the players in the competition, was ready to compliment the player from No. 1 High School right away based on the data he had.

However, just as he was about to speak, he was reminded of Lin Yao’s situation. He became cautious and was careful with his words. He really did not want to be labeled as a jinx.

“Student Quan Lei of No. 1 High School became a peak martial artist one and a half years ago and can advance to become a warlord. Although Lin Yao’s advancement time is short, he has outstanding abilities. This will be a fierce battle. Let’s wait and see.”

As soon as he said this, comments appeared on the bullet screen.

“Isn’t he going to predict the outcome of the match?”

“Old E must have turned timid.”

“The opponent is supposedly stronger. This will be disadvantageous for One Sword. However, One Sword’s abilities are too mysterious. The commentator does not dare make any more comments… One Sword is so handsome.”

“He is indeed handsome.”

“Damn! What should I do now that my girlfriend is staring at the screen? I can’t pull her away!”

“I’m from Haikou City. Does anyone know the contact information of the young man on the stage?”

“I’m also from another city. I’m here just to see this handsome guy.”

“I’m from another city too.”

…

The live stream allowed the viewers to interact with each other. However, the initial interaction was normal. Toward the end, everyone was attracted by Lin Yao’s transformed appearance again. Among them were many netizens that were not from Ninghai City.

This was Qin Ya’s doing. Lin Yao was starting to become well-known in places outside Ninghai City.

Even without real capabilities, Lin Yao, who had a perfect body and face, would be able to live comfortably. However, he was not satisfied with this.

‘I will win this battle.’

‘I’m sorry. You have to blame yourself for being so famous.’

The two opponents looked at each other with a flash of a spark in their eyes. A moment later, an arm was waved downward and a sound rang out.

“The battle begins!”

As soon as the referee waved his hand downward, the two of them began making their moves.

Lin Yao instantly bent on the spot and made a sword-drawing gesture. Thunderbolt exploded in his body, and the violent electricity made his hair stand up, his eyes flashing with thunder and lightning as the thunderbolt and electricity spread across his body.

Lin Yao’s body cells were now fully activated. They released powerful energy, which was his extreme state.

Compared to the extreme state of the past, this time, in addition to the thunder and lightning, runes also bloomed radiantly on the Sun God Pattern on Lin Yao’s chest. The brilliance was connected, and a simple holy garment with patterns on the corner appeared on Lin Yao’s body.

Lin Yao, who was wearing a holy garment of light with thunder and lightning around his waist, had a powerful flash of lightning in his eyes. He was already fully charged for battle. All this happened only within a few seconds.

As he was charged up almost instantaneously, even waves of air were coming out of him.

One look and everyone could sense the terrifying power within Lin Yao.

“He is so handsome!”

“That is tangible energy armor. Can a low-level martial artist achieve that?”

“Interesting.”

Lin Yao, who could be considered to be undergoing a transformation for battle, had attracted the attention of countless people. Some were attracted by his extreme handsomeness, some paid attention to the energy armor, and some looked at Lin Yao’s situation and felt his dominating presence but only commented that things were getting interesting.

One of the four warlords from No. 1 High School, Du Ming from the Ultimate Boxing Dojo, and the leader of the Sky Blade Dojo were among the people who felt that the current situation was getting interesting.
