223: A test from Emperor Huangquan! Choose one of the two
Chapter 223: The Test from Martial God Yellow Springs! A Choice of Two!
Su Bai shook his head, "Why would I need to graduate so many times?"
"Sigh."
Zhao Tai looked at him, a bit speechless. "Besides the credits required for graduation, any extra credits can be exchanged for things!"
"You didn't know that?"
"Exotic blood, exotic marrow, tonics, weapons, Cultivation Techniques, and even guidance from a Martial God—all are possible!"
"Anything you can think of, you can pretty much exchange for with credits."
"All of this is on the campus network; you can check it yourself."
Su Bai blinked, pulled out his phone, and began logging into the campus network to check.
Zhao Tai glanced over and quickly said, "Wrong, wrong, not this campus network. This is run by students. You need to log into our Seven Sages University's official website, the one from when you enrolled..."
Only then did Su Bai understand. No wonder he hadn't seen any information about this on the campus network.
Following Zhao Tai's instructions, he logged into the Seventh Martial Arts University's official campus website.
Sure enough, he found the entrance to the credit exchange mall.
He clicked in and scrolled to the very bottom.
Just as Zhao Tai had said, the credit mall had almost everything.
And the value of his current credits far exceeded Su Bai's estimation.
Heavenly Martial Realm exotic blood only cost 5 credits, and Heaven Rank cold weapons ranged from a few dozen to over a hundred credits.
A Martial Ancestor level Peak Martial Dao instructor's one-week private guidance only cost 10 credits.
A Martial Venerable level instructor, which is a Vice Principal, cost 100 credits for one session.
Su Bai kept scrolling down, all the way to the bottom.
"Demon Ancestor exotic marrow fluid, one thousand credits per portion..."
Su Bai's eyes flickered.
Seventy-five thousand credits were enough to exchange for seventy-five portions of level six exotic marrow.
Calculated this way, this reward, this reward was truly generous!
"Do you still have your previous thoughts?"
Zhao Tai looked at him with a chuckle, reaching out to pour him a cup of tea.
Su Bai shook his head.
"No."
He then asked, "Is there no Demon Venerable level exotic marrow fluid?"
Su Bai's Grandmaster Will had already formed, and he was just a step away from becoming a Martial Ancestor level expert. Once the Indestructible Golden Body Second Stage was complete, he would immediately be a young Grandmaster.
Thinking back to when he completed the first stage, Su Bai felt that if he could use higher-level Martial Ancestor exotic marrow fluid, the probability of Breakthrough would likely be even greater!
"You need to use Demon Venerable exotic marrow fluid?"
Zhao Tai looked at him strangely, his brows furrowing as he asked.
"Let alone Seventh Martial Arts University, even the Martial Arts Association would find it difficult to acquire Demon Venerable level exotic marrow fluid!"
"If you really want to buy it, the procedures are very complex, and you'll need to undergo a practical examination."
"Why?"
Su Bai was curious.
Zhao Tai explained, "Because the flesh and blood cells of Demon Venerable level exotic beasts contain too many negative factors, which current technological levels cannot completely eliminate."
"To purchase and consume exotic marrow fluid of Demon Venerable level or higher, unless you have the strength to prove you can easily kill the Will of a Demon Venerable level exotic beast!!!"
"Which means you must at least reach the Martial Ancestor Realm!!"
"And even Martial Ancestors rarely consume Demon Venerable level exotic marrow; it's too taxing on the spirit!"
"While Demon Ancestor's effect is slightly weaker, the advantage is that it has no side effects."
Su Bai understood.
Zhao Tai suddenly blurted out, "You've already condensed your Grandmaster Will, haven't you? How far are you from the true Grandmaster Realm?"
Su Bai nodded, "My Qi and blood value is sufficient; I estimate it's just a small difference!"
In fact, he felt his Qi and blood value was pretty much sufficient.
But in pursuit of ultimate perfection, he wanted to wait until the Indestructible Golden Body Second Stage was completely finished before using his Martial Dao Will to transform his Qi and blood Physique.
"A Martial Ancestor's Qi and blood are like lead and mercury, vastly different from ordinary Martial Artists, completely not on the same level!"
The reason for this was that a Martial Ancestor's Qi and blood had been tempered by Martial Dao Will.
Su Bai had always understood this, so he knew he was truly just a step away from the true Grandmaster Realm.
As long as his Stellar Will slightly tempered the flesh and blood that had already been refined by the Indestructible Golden Body First Stage, he would officially step into the Martial Ancestor Realm.
It was just that he didn't want to yet.
Zhao Tai's eyes were filled with complexity.
Even though he had anticipated it, seeing Su Bai admit it himself was still shocking.
It was just a slight difference in Qi and blood.
Qi and blood!
That was truly the easiest problem to solve.
A Grandmaster couldn't be piled up by resources alone. From Martial King to Martial Ancestor, the Martial Dao Will hurdle had stumped countless people.
And Su Bai, at only eighteen, had already fully formed his Grandmaster Will.
This was simply a monster!!
"A young Grandmaster, a young Grandmaster in the true sense of the word!!!"
"Then Demon Ancestor it is..."
Su Bai didn't care anymore.
Having it was better than not having it!
However, seventy-five portions of level six exotic marrow fluid... Su Bai imagined the total amount and estimated in his heart that it might not be enough.
He might need to earn more credits.
"Credits, for you, are simple. In fact, you don't need to rush to graduate so quickly!"
Zhao Tai slowly looked at Su Bai in front of him, speaking calmly.
He then stood up, took two large kraft paper envelopes from his desk, and handed them to Su Bai.
"This is the second thing I need to tell you today."
Su Bai straightened up, listening attentively.
"Martial God Yellow Springs has learned of your situation and has agreed to accept you as a Disciple."
"As for whether you can become the Martial Saint's true Disciple, you still need to pass one test!"
Zhao Tai pointed to the two envelopes in Su Bai's hand.
"Open them and see."
Su Bai opened the first envelope.
Inside was only one piece of paper, with a line of text: National University Student Martial Arts Tournament First Place.
Su Bai was stunned for a moment.
"It's for you to compete for first place in the National University Student Martial Arts Tournament."
Zhao Tai explained.
"I know."
Su Bai said calmly, "But is this considered a test?"
Zhao Tai looked embarrassed, then gave a bitter smile.
"I know what you're thinking. Indeed, no one at Seven Sages University is your match, but this Martial Arts Tournament isn't calculated that way."
"This National University Student Tournament, besides including university students from all martial arts universities nationwide!"
"It also includes all Martial Arts Association Disciples under thirty nationwide... You understand what I mean, right?"
"Extreme Dao and Transcendent? Martial God's Successors?"
Su Bai looked thoughtful.
"Exactly!"
Zhao Tai nodded.
"The Extreme Dao and Transcendent Martial Arts Associations are both Martial Arts Associations under the Martial God!"
"Among them are exceptionally talented individuals, taken in by the Martial Saint from a young age and carefully guided. They are far more formidable than the Martial Dao Geniuses educated through school martial arts programs!"
"The age range 'under thirty' is not small. Many of them are even from the generation before you, so getting first place will be very difficult!!!"
"Extremely difficult!"
Zhao Tai emphasized his tone.
Su Bai, however, remained unfazed.
Besides his absolute confidence in his own Martial Dao strength, his Martial Saint resume clearly stated that he could indeed win first place in this Martial Arts Tournament, so Su Bai wasn't worried.
"Oh! Right, I forgot to mention one thing."
Zhao Tai suddenly added, "There's only one test, so you just need to choose one mission from these two envelopes and complete it."
"Aren't you going to open the other one and see?"
So it was a choice of two.
"Then is there a need to look at the second envelope?"
From the most recent future trajectory, he ultimately chose the first one.
"But if I choose the first one, I might have to face those Martial Arts Association Disciples, and then..."
Su Bai thought silently.
But when he opened the second envelope and read its contents,
Su Bai realized he was wrong.
Terribly wrong!!!
