13: Private Chen Youzhong, applies to rejoin the team!

Chen Qing didn’t delay and began to try taking the Medicinal Pill.

The Bone Tempering Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a warm current flowed from his stomach to his limbs and bones. Chen Qing quickly started to circulate his Cultivation Technique.

He could clearly feel that his Cultivate speed was faster than before, though not significantly.

It’s effective! Continue.

Early in the morning, a ray of sunlight streamed into the rental house.

Chen Qing had already packed his luggage, ready to bid farewell to his father.

“Son, when you get to Martial Arts University, make sure to Cultivate well! Don’t neglect the Martial Dao. Your father never had the chance to enter a Martial Arts University in his life; all his Martial Skills came from the army. I’m not familiar with Martial Arts Universities, so if you don’t get used to it, tell me, and I’ll find someone to transfer you to my old army. Your father still has some connections.”

Chen Qing laughed, “Dad, no need! Your son here is exceptionally talented and can thrive anywhere. Don’t worry, once I achieve success in the Martial Dao, I’ll take care of your share too.”

He was referring to the enemies in the Space Battlefield.

Chen Youzhong looked at Chen Qing, constantly reminding him of various precautions.

He had initially hoped his son would make a name for himself, but at this moment, he felt a bit worried.

“I didn’t want to mention it much before, but the Space Battlefield is an extremely dangerous place. Don’t enter it casually unless you are absolutely confident, and it’s best not to go alone. There are many lone wolves there, many from other planets, and if you see them, they are enemies. It’s very easy to die without knowing why!”

“Once you’re at the university, it’s best to learn a Martial Skill that can conceal your presence; this is your father’s experience. I won’t say much else; I was just a grunt before, always fighting with the troops, and went to very few places. You can learn about these things once you’re at the university and have gained some strength.”

The father and son, one constantly chattering, the other silently listening, continued until more than half an hour had passed before Chen Qing finally left with his luggage.

Watching Chen Qing’s retreating figure, Chen Youzhong pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

“Chen Youzhong?” A strong voice came from the other end of the line.

“It’s me, old friend. My son has gone off to university. What about the rejoining the team matter I mentioned to you earlier?”

“Youzhong, the matter isn’t a problem, but what about your health?”

“It’s fine. After so many years of recuperation, it’s time to get active again. Besides, with my son entering a Martial Arts University, should I, as his father, just stay home and enjoy retirement?”

The other end of the line was silent for a moment, then said, “Are you sure you’ve thought it through? Have you told your son?”

“Not yet. We’re men; why be so sentimental! He’ll know naturally in the future.”

“Alright then, if you’re sure there’s no problem, I won’t stop you.”

A brilliant smile appeared on Chen Youzhong’s face. The next moment, his expression turned serious, and he declared loudly:

“Private Chen Youzhong, requesting to rejoin the team!”

“Welcome back!”

After about two hours on the high-speed rail and several subway stops, Chen Qing finally arrived at Jinling University.

This university is located in the university town of Jinling City and is a hallmark of Jinling.

He had researched it online and found that the university covered an area of about 100,000 mu, far larger than many famous universities in his previous life.

From the main gate, one couldn’t see the end; it was entirely the size of a small town.

The school had nearly 50,000 teachers and students, with over 10,000 new students this year alone.

Chen Qing looked at the vast Jinling University, feeling a sense of anticipation.

At this moment, many people similar to him were at the entrance, all arriving at the school to report.

“Make way, everyone, make way! I heard that this year’s new students are a bit rambunctious; some are already clamoring to challenge our second-year students as soon as they arrive. I want to see who is so clueless!”

A student in a neat Martial Dao uniform, with an ordinary appearance, walked into the campus with a fierce expression and powerful strides, followed by many others.

“It’s Senior Liu Weiren, who’s about to enter his second year! Why is he back? Wasn’t he out on a mission?”

“He must have heard about this year’s new students. Haven’t you heard? Some new students started provoking the older students as soon as they arrived, boasting that they would defeat all second-year students within three months!”

“Really? Is that true? The Martial Dao path isn’t built in a day. Who’s so arrogant?”

“Who knows. Liu Weiren isn’t to be trifled with; I heard he’s almost at the Peak of the First Realm. He’ll probably officially enter the Peak of the First Realm and challenge the Second Realm within a month!”

“Already at the Second Realm in the second year? Jinling students’ advancement is indeed rapid. My dad telling me to choose this place was certainly correct.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Since we’re here, let’s go watch the show together!”

…The surrounding people were discussing animatedly. Chen Qing, carrying his bag, also became a little interested.

There were actually such arrogant people among the new students; he had to see them.

——

Soon, Chen Qing followed the crowd and quickly arrived at a Martial Arts Arena.

This Martial Arts Arena was very large, about the size of a football field.

And Chen Qing had just come in from outside and found that there were several such Martial Arts Arenas, each divided into dozens of large and small different arenas.

Chen Qing found a spot near the central arena and sat down.

On the central arena, a young man kicked over a student, apparently the troublemaker of the day.

The young man looked smugly at a second-year student he had already knocked down on the arena, chuckling.

“Oh, I’ve long heard that students of Jinling Martial Arts University are generally warlike and have strong combat power. My ears were almost calloused from hearing this at home. So, this year, I didn’t apply anywhere else but Jinling, and the result, tsk tsk tsk.”

The young man put his hands on his hips, scanning the crowd below: “Are there any other second-year students who dare to come up? Come on, I’ll stand right here today and see how many I can take on!”

“Arrogant!”

“Presumptuous!”

“This guy provoked all of us as soon as he arrived today. This is unbearable! I’m going up!” A rather beautiful girl looked indignant and stepped towards the arena.

“Hey, hey, hey, absolutely not! Wang Xiaomin, he’s at the mid-First Realm! Almost at the high-First Realm! The few who just went up were also at the mid-First Realm, and none of them were a match for him. You’re a non-Martial Artist, why are you joining the fun!”

“That’s right, don’t actually get provoked. Although this guy is a new student, in terms of Realm, he’s much stronger than many older students.”

“His Realm is strong, but did you notice that his combat skills are lacking! Compared to some older students who have been tempered by multiple missions, he’s still inferior!”

“But most of the stronger older students are out on missions! We can’t just stand by and watch, can we?”

Wang Xiaomin gritted her teeth, “Hmph! You’re all a bunch of good-for-nothings! If I didn’t still need to improve my non-Martial Artist limit, how would it be your turn to criticize here! A group of people, only knowing how to rely on others, why don’t you go up yourselves if you have the guts!”

The people around felt a bit awkward hearing her words and unconsciously moved away from her.

Oh, I shouldn’t have reminded this troublemaker!

My lady, if you have the guts, you go up; we absolutely won’t remind you again!
