32: Chapter 32 Choosing Kyoto Martial Arts University

"Ahem."

Lei Zhen spoke first, his voice resonant: "Student Su Yu, I am from Imperial Capital Martial Arts University. You know our school's style—we emphasize actual combat and Foundation."

As he spoke, he held up three fingers:

"First, upon enrollment, you will enjoy 'Sequence' status! All Cultivation resources will be free, with no cap!"

"Second, we will provide a supreme Cultivation Technique that leads directly to the Star Lord Realm—the 'Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Art'! Plus, you can select two Martial Skills."

"Third, one of our Imperial Capital Martial Arts University deans, a powerhouse at the third level of the Star Lord Realm, will personally take you on as a closed-door Disciple!"

Once these words were spoken, the entire living room fell silent for a moment.

Su Yu couldn't help but feel his heart rate accelerate.

A Star Lord Realm powerhouse as his Master? This was an Opportunity countless people dreamed of!

"Heh, Director Lei, what a generous offer."

Beside him, Lin Qingru adjusted her glasses, the corners of her mouth curling into an elegant yet aggressive smile.

"However, Student Su Yu practices the blade. Can that bunch of brute fist-fighters at Beijing Martial Arts University really teach him well?"

Lin Qingru turned to look at Su Yu, her gaze becoming gentle and seductive:

"Student Su Yu, our Magic City Martial Arts University is located in the most prosperous economic center of the Federation. Whether it's vision or the circulation of resources, it's not something those old fogies at Beijing Martial Arts University can compare to."

"Our conditions are as follows:"

"First, the same level of resource supply and a Star Lord Rank mentor; this is standard, so I won't say more."

"Second, and this is the most crucial part..."

A glint flashed in Lin Qingru's eyes as she threw out her trump card:

"Our Magic City Martial Arts University controls the entrance to a newly developed 'Starry Sky Ancient Ruin' in the Solar System! As long as you join us, the school promises to give you one Opportunity to enter the ruin and explore the ancient Martial Legacy before your sophomore year!"

"An ancient ruin?!"

Su Yu was stunned for a moment.

In this era of high martial arts, besides modern martial arts, the most mysterious and powerful things are those 'ancient Martial Legacies' unearthed from the depths of the starry sky.

Every discovery of an ancient ruin represents countless Opportunities and risks.

"An Opportunity to explore an ancient Martial Legacy?"

Su Wu, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly set down his teacup, making a soft 'clack' sound.

He looked at Lin Qingru with a half-smile:

"Teacher Lin, if I recall correctly, that so-called ancient ruin is a 'Fractured Rank' relic, isn't it? The space inside is extremely unstable, and those who go in face a nine-in-ten chance of death."

"Do you want my son to be a pathfinder for you, or do you really want to nurture him?"

Once these words were spoken, Lin Qingru's expression changed instantly.

She hadn't expected this 'hidden powerhouse' from a remote base to know even this kind of top-secret information!

In reality, Su Wu hadn't stayed in Canglan Base the entire week. Relying on his strength as a Martial Saint, he had traveled between various bases and, naturally, had gathered some useful information.

"Senior, you have misunderstood! We..." Lin Qingru started to explain.

"That's enough." Su Wu waved his hand, cutting her off, then looked at Lei Zhen beside her.

"Director Lei, since Magic City Martial Arts University wants to gamble on luck, what about you? Do you have anything substantial?"

Su Wu's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his gaze deep:

"For example... giving a ready-made ancient weapon directly?"

Hearing this, Lei Zhen's pupils shrank sharply.

He took a deep look at Su Wu, his heart churning with stormy waves.

This man was too knowledgeable! As soon as he spoke, he hit the nail on the head!

Exploring ancient ruins is just painting a pie in the sky; it's not only dangerous but also depends on luck.

But a ready-made ancient weapon is solid, tangible resources!

Lei Zhen was silent for a moment, seemingly engaged in an intense internal struggle.

He glanced at the gifted Su Yu, then at the unfathomable Su Wu.

Receiving a gifted student while also winning over a suspected Martial Saint powerhouse—it was worth it!

Finally, he gritted his teeth, pulled a palm-sized metal box from his bosom, and slammed it onto the table.

"Senior Su is indeed an expert!"

"Since Magic City Martial Arts University wants to play with empty promises, we at Beijing Martial Arts University will play for real!"

Lei Zhen opened the box.

Hum!

A bone-chilling cold instantly swept through the entire living room, and even the moisture in the air instantly condensed into frost.

Inside the box, a throwing knife, only the size of a dagger and completely transparent like moonlight, lay quietly.

"This is..." Su Yu's eyes went wide, and his Chaos Body actually emitted a tremor of longing.

"A first-Rank ancient Divine Weapon—Cold Moon Blade!"

Lei Zhen's voice carried a hint of heartache, but more so, determination:

"This was unearthed from a ruin on Mars. Although it's only first-Rank, it was forged from star core fragments; it is indestructible and comes with dual 'Armor Piercing' and 'Freezing' attributes! Most importantly, it is a telekinetic weapon! Once Student Su Yu reaches the Martial Emperor Rank and Awakens his spiritual telekinesis in the future, he will be able to use it!"

"As long as Student Su Yu signs, this blade is yours right now!"

Beside them, Lin Qingru opened her mouth, only to find that she couldn't produce any bargaining chip that could compare to it.

Although Magic City Martial Arts University is wealthy, this level of ancient Divine Weapon is a strategic reserve; as a mere head of the admissions office, she had no authority to mobilize it.

"Since Beijing Martial Arts University is so sincere..."

Lin Qingru sighed, stood up, and bowed slightly to Su Wu and Su Yu, her tone filled with regret:

"Then this Junior won't humiliate herself any further. Student Su Yu, I wish you a bright future at Beijing Martial Arts University."

After saying this, she turned and left without any hesitation.

In the living room, only Lei Zhen remained, looking at Su Yu with anticipation.

"Dad?" Su Yu looked at his father, his eyes full of inquiry.

Su Wu looked at the Cold Moon Blade and nodded in satisfaction.

---

Before leaving, Lei Zhen was in a great mood, and his stern, square-shaped face rarely revealed a smile of satisfaction.

He took out a pitch-black metal bracelet with a faint, ghostly light flowing on its surface from his bosom and solemnly handed it to Su Yu.

"This is the smart terminal exclusive to Beijing Martial Arts University students. It is not only a symbol of your identity but also the key to connecting to Beijing Martial Arts University's vast resource library," Lei Zhen instructed in a solemn tone. "The encrypted data packet for the 'Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Art' has already been pre-installed."

"As for those two additional Martial Skills, you can log in to the 'Scripture Pavilion' through the bracelet right now to select them. Once selected, the holographic image and cultivation essentials of the Secret Manual will be transmitted directly to your bracelet."

Su Yu took the bracelet.

He fastened it onto his wrist, and with a soft 'beep,' a pale blue holographic light screen instantly unfolded before his eyes, with countless complex and profound options flowing down like a waterfall.

"Su Yu, welcome to Beijing Martial Arts University."

Leaving behind these words, Lei Zhen patted Su Yu's shoulder, then turned and strode away, boarded his spaceship, and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of light.
