“Oh? The Fifth Layer region? His spiritual power has reached the level of a Prime Warrior?” Jin Huguo’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, “He’s just a freshman, even if his physical quality is perfect, right now he can be at most level 10 at best.”
“This junior brother is indeed impressive,” Jin Huguo remarked with a sense of admiration, “Perhaps, in the future, he might be much more formidable than me.”
With his strength and insight, Jin Huguo was very clear about what Li Yuan’s skills and spiritual power signified.
The future held infinite possibilities.
“Senior brother, you really don’t care?” The woman in white couldn’t help but ask as she looked at Jin Huguo.
“Care about what? Having one more genius junior brother is a good thing,” Jin Huguo smiled, “Instead, I’m worried that him being so dazzling as a freshman, without any competitors, might cause him to lose his way and become degenerate.”
“This Li Yuan is so formidable, he might threaten your position in the school,” the woman in white finally spoke her mind outright.
Jin Huguo looked at the woman in white, feeling a desire to laugh inside.
“Long Ya, how can you ask such a silly question?” Jin Huguo shook his head, “Not to mention that he’s a freshman and I’m a junior, there’s no direct competition.”
“Even if there was competition, so what?” Jin Huguo was quite indifferent, “It’s just competition within the school.”
“The number one talent at Kunlun Martial University? Does such a title sound impressive? Is it useful?”
The woman in white was stunned.
Useless?
“Ever since Starfire University and Starry Sky University were established, our Kunlun Martial University has been declining for decades,” Jin Huguo shook his head and said, “In last year’s global collegiate martial arts tournament, only I managed to break into the top 100 in the virtual battle.”
“Actual combat, even more so, we didn’t have a single person qualifying for participation, how embarrassing was that?” Jin Huguo said, shaking his head.
“Senior brother, you can’t be blamed for that,” the woman in white hurriedly said, “Last year, you were just a sophomore and managed to break into the virtual battle top 100, triumphing over most senior students from the three famous schools, which was already dazzling enough.”
“Actual combat? In Xia Country’s five prestigious universities, last year only two managed to qualify for the main global collegiate martial arts tournament, and they were both eliminated in the first round.”
“For the upcoming tournament, you will certainly be able to participate in actual combat, and there’s totally a possibility of reaching the top 20,” the woman in white said with an air of admiration, “That would be historic.”
Jin Huguo smiled. The top 20?
As difficult as it was, he could only say there was some hope.
“Not to mention that our human civilization needs more and stronger martial artists.”
“Just speaking of the present,” Jin Huguo smiled and said, “If this Li Yuan is strong enough to stand out in the global collegiate martial arts tournament and make a name for Kunlun Martial University, I will only have respect for him.”
“As for some school position, it’s all clouds passing by.”
“It’s not like we are competing to be the principal, we will graduate sooner or later,” Jin Huguo laughed, “From another perspective, before this, the school leaders have been placing all their bets on just me, I also feel quite a bit of pressure.”
“Having one more person to share the pressure, why not be happy about it?”
Long Ya opened her mouth but said nothing.
She could see that Jin Huguo genuinely didn’t care.
“In a way, I find one Li Yuan not enough,” Jin Huguo said, shaking his head, “If every class could have twenty or thirty like Li Yuan, then our Kunlun Martial University might be able to regain its glory and once again become the number one martial arts university on Blue Star.”
Long Ya couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The number one martial arts university on Blue Star? That was history from fifty years ago.
After hanging up the video call.
“Li Yuan?” Jin Huguo murmured to himself, smiled, and then continued pondering over his Sword Technique.
…
The night of July 4th.
Including Li Yuan, nineteen elite disciples under Li Yang gathered at ‘Yan He’s villa.
The villa was very large, more than ample for a banquet of dozens of people.
After the welcome ceremony had ended.
“Junior brother, truly no girlfriend?” Shi Xiao, a senior sister holding a wine glass, asked with a teasing smile.
“Senior sister,”
“I just want to concentrate on the Martial Path,” Li Yuan smiled, having already sensed the senior sister’s intentions.
He had also inquired into the senior sister’s Life Level—15.8.
Quite formidable.
Li Yuan knew that powerful martial artists were full of energy and most believed in themselves rather than others.
Therefore, their ideas on many aspects were completely different from ordinary people.
Too bad, not only was Li Yuan uninterested.
Even if he were interested, it was useless; he had just undergone a ‘bathing’ service of Life Essence Purification during the day and needed to rest well upon returning.
…
After this welcoming banquet.
Life, since his enrollment, had completely returned to calm, and, in a way, Li Yuan’s university martial arts student career had officially begun.
In the common knowledge class attended by students from the Sixth Institute.
“Why, when you were taking your college entrance exams, were there requirements for your cultural courses?” the common knowledge teacher, who was a Prime Warrior, asked in a resounding voice, “Martial Artists are not just brute warriors with blind fighting power; they should be thinkers as well.”
“Life Evolution is not just about developing muscles or the explosive power of Origin Power; it should also be about the evolution of the brain,” the teacher said, his gaze sharp as he swept over every student, “You must know for whom and why you fight.”
“Next, I will talk about the history of modern Martial Path.”
“In the most ancient times, our Seven Great Planets did not know of each other’s existence.”
“Two thousand years ago, Star Bridges appeared, and including our Blue Star, the Six Great Planets were able to swiftly cross the Starry Sky through the Star Bridges and reach Feixing, only then discovering one another’s existence.”
“Despite being located in different Starry Skies, the Seven Great Planets were all inhabited by humans—a very eerie coincidence—and the appearance of the Star Bridges was also shrouded in mystery, with many speculations that to this day remain an enigma.”
“And Feixing is the most mysterious and vast planet among the Seven Great Planets.”
“From that point on, the era of the Star Bridges was ushered in, and later, that year was designated as Year One of the Seven Stars era.”
