36: Chapter 36 The Four Holy Academies Encounter Pursuit

Lin Yuan arrived at the school. The campus still had the familiar environment, familiar classrooms, and familiar training grounds—

However, the atmosphere of cultivation on campus was exceptionally intense. Even during breaks, the students were all training on the grounds.

Some students were even engaging in actual combat sparring to increase their battle experience.

Perhaps the school had used him as a prime example in their teaching materials, fiercely motivating the cultivation enthusiasm of the younger students.

Arriving at the Principal's office, Principal Tang Weiguo and Chief Instructor Du Feng were inside discussing something.

"Lin Yuan, you're here. Come in and sit down quickly."

Principal Tang Weiguo saw Lin Yuan at the doorway and quickly beckoned him over.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, walked into the office, and sat on the sofa.

"Haha---Lin Yuan, you don't know, but early this morning, so many parents came to the school to inquire!"

There were high schools wanting to enroll here, and even some wanting to transfer over. This is all thanks to you, the national top scholar!"

Principal Tang Weiguo laughed, feeling extremely pleased. This was something he could brag about for the rest of his life.

"Hehe---How could this be my credit? This is due to the effective education provided by the teachers at No. 6 High School," Lin Yuan replied with a smile, complimenting them in return.

"Haha---," Principal Tang Weiguo clearly enjoyed the praise and couldn't stop smiling.

"Principal, you called me here for...?"

"Right, right, haha---I got carried away with the excitement. This card is an award from the Provincial Education Bureau and our school for you. The money isn't much, but it’s an affirmation of your hard work."

Lin Yuan took the bank card and put it directly into his pocket. He wasn't short of money now; with all the awards from various parties, plus his previous savings, he had about six or seven million.

"Mmm, thank you, School. By the way, Principal, Director Du, regarding which university to apply to, I wanted to hear your suggestions," Lin Yuan asked.

"Hehe---Even if you hadn't asked, we were just about to talk to you about it," Chief Instructor Du Feng smiled.

"Then, Director Du, please introduce the situation of the Martial Arts Universities to Lin Yuan," Principal Tang Weiguo gestured to Du Feng.

"Okay, Lin Yuan, you should know that Martial Arts Universities are divided into regular universities, key universities, and top-tier universities, right?"

"You don't need to consider any other Martial Arts Universities; you only need to consider four. These four universities are all top-tier and are collectively known as the Four Great Sacred Academies," Chief Instructor Du Feng explained.

"The Four Great Sacred Academies? How so?" Lin Yuan asked doubtfully.

"The Four Great Sacred Academies are Qingwu University in Kyoto, Mowu University in Modu, Rongwu University in Shu Province, and Qinwu University in Qin Province.

The reason these four universities are called Sacred Academies is because they were the earliest martial arts universities established in Great Xia.

All other universities were established step-by-step by talents who emerged from these Four Great Sacred Academies.

But there is one more crucial reason: the founder of the Four Great Sacred Academies, Su Yuntian, was a Martial God expert, known to the world as Saint Su.

Even the Martial Arts Examination was first proposed by this Saint Su, and the ferocious beasts inside were set up according to his requirements.

After establishing the Four Great Sacred Academies, Saint Su also built a Martial God Tower in each of the four academies.

And this Martial God Tower is the real reason we want you to choose one of the Four Great Sacred Academies, because only students of the Sacred Academies can enter the Martial God Tower.

The tower is the best place for cultivation and holds many opportunities, so you must go and challenge it," Chief Instructor Du Feng seriously introduced the Sacred Academies, making Lin Yuan listen with great longing.

"Then which Sacred Academy should I choose?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I suggest you choose Qing University or Moda University. These two Sacred Academies are stronger among the Four Great Sacred Academies, while the other two are slightly weaker in strength," Principal Tang Weiguo stated.

"Alright, thank you, Principal and Director Du, for the explanation. I will go back and consider it," Lin Yuan nodded.

"Good, hurry up and consider it. It is expected that the recruitment personnel from the Four Great Sacred Academies should arrive within the next couple of days. By then, you will have to make a choice," Principal Tang Weiguo reminded him.

"So soon? Isn't the deadline for applications half a month away?" Lin Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Hehe---What you are referring to is the schedule for ordinary candidates. Do you think the Four Great Sacred Academies will let go of a national top scholar like you?"

Securing your enrollment immediately is their most important task right now," Chief Instructor Du Feng said with a smile. Although No. 6 High School had never produced a top scholar before, they had heard this scenario too many times.

"Alright then, I'll go back and think carefully. Oh, right, Principal, I will use your membership card for a few more days and return it in a while," Lin Yuan told Principal Tang Weiguo. He was planning to visit the Crimson Forest again to go deeper inside and acquire some ability points.

This was the best way he could currently think of to obtain ability points.

"Use it freely, no rush to return it to me, but you need to wait a moment. We need to conduct another test on your ability level again," Principal Tang Weiguo said seriously.

"Alright..."

Lin Yuan knew this was inevitable. Could an F-rank Ability be this formidable? Even he didn't believe it; the school was bound to retest his ability.

Subsequently, the three of them went to an office and tested Lin Yuan's talent on the Ability Testing Device.

When the two saw the bright red 'SS' on the screen, they were completely stunned, their mouths wide open. Looking at Lin Yuan again, it was as if they were looking at a rare treasure.

Finally, at Lin Yuan's request, No. 6 High School publicly announced that Lin Yuan possessed an S-rank Spatial Ability.

Lin Yuan understood the principle of 'possessing a treasure invites disaster.' S-rank was somewhat acceptable; one such person might appear in Great Xia every few years. But SS-rank was different; in the history of Great Xia martial artists, very few had ever reached that level, and they all died prematurely before growing up.

The reason was self-evident: where there are people, there is strife. No matter which faction, they did not want to see a powerhouse capable of absolutely crushing them exist in their opponent's camp.

Things were relatively stable within Great Xia, but what about other countries? And those cult organizations, etc.? It was safer to develop quietly.

Afterward, Lin Yuan bid farewell to the two and headed towards the Crimson Forest. He had no time to waste; time was too precious for him.

Just as Lin Yuan got into a taxi, a black SUV drove out from a street on the side of No. 6 High School and trailed the taxi from a distance.

Inside the car, a man dressed in a black suit and wearing black sunglasses took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Old Family Head, I'm following the person... Understood, I await your news."

The man in black hung up the phone, his eyes tightly fixed on the taxi ahead...

In the Liu Family Mansion, the Old Family Head Liu Hansheng sat in the main seat with a grim expression.

Liu Hansheng looked to be over seventy years old, but his aura was steady, and his physique was robust, not at all like a seventy-year-old man.

"It seems correct; that kid must have killed Qingyun and Ning'er. Since he could kill a First Order Peak ferocious beast in the Martial Arts Examination, his strength must have reached the early Second Order, which is why he could kill Qingyun.

Lin Yuan, daring to kill my son and grandson, regardless of whether you are the national top scholar or not, I, Liu Hansheng, will make you pay with blood!"

Liu Hansheng crushed the teacup in his hand and said through gritted teeth, "Issue an order: everyone stand by. Today, I will make that Lin Yuan pay with his life!"

"Yes!"

A subordinate immediately responded and then ran out the door to relay the order.

...

At this moment, Lin Yuan had no idea that danger was quietly closing in on him...

When he arrived in front of the Void Rift of the Crimson Forest, he presented his membership card and entered.

The man in black in the distance witnessed everything from his car and immediately called Liu Hansheng, "Old Family Head, that kid entered the Crimson Forest."

"What? The Crimson Forest again! Good, good, good! My son Qingyun died in the Crimson Forest. It seems correct. Today, I will take your dog head to commemorate my son! Everyone, move out!"

Liu Hansheng gave the order, and the Liu Family martial artists mobilized completely, advancing towards the Crimson Forest...
