Federation Calendar998, Month 7, was just an insignificant day for the entire Federation. However, it would be remembered by some, or hold different meanings for others.
The combat uniforms of the First Military Academy were woven from highly resilient fibers, capable of withstanding the force exerted during battles by high-level combatants without tearing apart. Ye Yu looked at his white combat uniform and a confident smile appeared on his face. Although after more than ten training sessions his martial arts level had not changed at all, his first-tier combat power had stabilized, ensuring it wouldn't suddenly vanish.
Ye Yu believed that with his first-tier combat power combined with full support from Mental Power, defeating Peak would be no problem at all.
With a "click," the metal door emitted the sound of mechanisms engaging, and then the door to Ye Yu's dormitory opened automatically. He knew that Mental Power also required constant practice, so he often used Psychic Power to manipulate objects, such as opening doors!
Standing outside were four people: Xia Chiu, Nasha, Wang Jiu, and Chen Tang. They knew today was the day of Ye Yu's match against Peak, so they naturally came to cheer him on.
"Are you confident?" Nasha asked directly, voicing her concerns. Although she knew that Ye Yu had successfully reached the first tier in martial arts, she understood Peak well; this person was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
"If he is still at the Third Stage of martial arts, I have a ninety percent chance. If he has improved, I only have a ten percent chance!" Ye Yu understood that Peak was not reckless and would continuously strengthen his abilities. If Peak had truly reached the fourth tier in martial arts, then even a ten percent chance for Ye Yu would be optimistic, as fourth-tier combat power represented a new level altogether.
"I checked my cousin's assessment of Peak's strength; he was still at the Third Stage yesterday, and his Mental Power is still at planetary level!"
Though Xia Chiu seemed carefree, she was meticulous when it mattered. Just yesterday, she had taken the initiative to help Ye Yu investigate Peak's situation.
"Today there will be many spectators for this match; it seems Young Master Gao is determined to win this battle." Chen Tang, who had been practicing the introductory techniques of Psychic Power taught by Ye Yu, had made significant progress and was on the verge of reaching apprentice level. Being a few years older than the others and having his own connections, he was aware that Peak had invited many people to watch in hopes of making a name for himself.
"Captain, just use a single overwhelming push of your Mental Power, and you can take him down!" There was an inexplicable trust in Wang Jiu towards Ye Yu.
Ye Yu nodded to everyone and said, "Let's go; the arrow is on the string, and success or failure lies in this moment!" With that, he led the way toward the battlefield.
The battle took place on the top floor of the Training Building, where the Flower Board was made of a single piece of high-strength transparent glass. Thus, the entire arena felt as if it were outdoors. Ye Yu and his group took the elevator straight to the highest level.
There were ten standard arenas, each measuring ten meters by ten meters, but there were no guardrails around them. According to the battle rules, anyone who voluntarily conceded or fell off the stage would lose. Surrounding the arenas were rows of seats, densely packed together, forming what was commonly referred to as the Rainbow Area, with various colors distinguishing different seating sections.
Ye Yu initially thought that many people would attend, especially since there were numerous influential individuals eager to curry favor with someone like Peak. However, he was surprised to find that the entire Rainbow Area was filled to capacity with at least a thousand seats occupied. In fact, there were even people standing in some of the gaps.
"Boss, if you win, you'll be famous! I just glanced around and saw so many big shots from our Federation!" Although Wang Jiu's family wasn't as prominent as Peak's, they were still well-connected, and he quickly recognized several notable figures he had encountered before.
"Wait, there are others battling on stage!" Chen Tang's attention was drawn to a match taking place in the center arena. It was evident that high-level fighters were competing; their speed and techniques were so swift that even Chen Tang, who had some mastery of Psychic Power, could barely follow.
"I thought you wouldn't dare show up!"
At some point, Peak had approached Ye Yu with his team behind him. The five of them looked at Ye Yu as if he were a defeated opponent.
"Why not?" Ye Yu maintained a smile. As someone who had come through iron and blood, he felt no fear in such a setting.
"Then we'll meet on the arena!" With that, Peak blurred and vanished from sight. However, Ye Yu's Mental Power had already locked onto him, so he understood that Peak was merely demonstrating his strength in front of him, attempting to intimidate him.
"Go for it!" Nasha cheered for Ye Yu, raising her fist. The others followed suit with similar gestures. In the next moment, everything would depend solely on Ye Yu.
Ye Yu returned a gesture of thanks to everyone and slowly walked toward the arena. With each step he took, his aura grew sharper. The arena was elevated and lacked any steps; for someone without martial arts training, it seemed they could only climb up.
At that moment, Ye Yu suddenly took off running, twisting his waist with incredible speed. In the next instant, he spun rapidly and landed firmly at the edge of the arena.
"First level of body technique? Could the rumors be true? You've recovered some of your strength so quickly!" Peak narrowed his eyes slightly, his elongated gaze sharp as blades, making it hard for anyone to look directly at him.
Hearing Peak's words, Ye Yu's heart skipped a beat. He understood that the other party had investigated him. Although he appeared somewhat dissolute, he was certainly not someone to be underestimated.
"Alright, let's not waste time. I will be your referee today, and there won't be any rules! Of course, the most important thing is that no one is allowed to die; otherwise, no one will be able to save you for the rest of your life!"
At that moment, a familiar voice rang in Ye Yu's ears. Who else could it be but Professor X? Ye Yu quickly realized Peak's intention; decades ago, it was Professor X who declared Peak lost to Ye Yu. Since he wanted to regain his status, it was only fitting that Professor X witness it firsthand as a powerful rebuttal!
Ye Yu nodded lightly and then assumed a defensive stance. At this moment, he knew he had no advantage in terms of combat strength and would not take the initiative to attack.
"Whoosh—" Just as Ye Yu settled into his defensive position, a piercing sound echoed in his ears.
