40: Chapter 40 Honorary Guest

Imperial Capital Martial Arts University, top floor of the administrative building.

"Since the people from the Star Demon Cult could accurately grasp our list of new students, and even knew Su Yu's route so clearly, this indicates..."

The speaker was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a Zhongshan suit.

His face was gaunt, but his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

Imperial Capital Martial Arts University Vice Principal—Xu Liang.

Fifth-Order Star Lord!

Xu Liang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his voice cold and bone-chilling: "There is a ghost inside our ranks. And the level of this ghost is not low."

Standing to the side, Admissions Office Director Lei Zhen was covered in cold sweat at this moment.

As the person directly responsible for this enrollment, with such a huge blunder occurring and 73 Geniuses dying, he could not shirk the blame.

"Rest assured, Principal Xu!" Lei Zhen said through gritted teeth, "I will go and arrange it right now! Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, all personnel who have come into contact with the new student files will be isolated for investigation!!"

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about this matter; I will have someone else take over. Go and comfort the surviving students and parents, and don't let panic spread."

"Yes!" Lei Zhen, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly responded and exited.

As Lei Zhen left, the office door slowly closed.

Xu Liang turned around, his gaze crossing over the desk to the leather sofa area on the other side.

There, two people were sitting.

Su Yu sat upright, his expression calm.

While Su Wu sat with his legs crossed, playing with the black crystal that had dropped from the demon person, his face full of impatience and indifference.

"Your Imperial Capital Martial Arts University claims to be the number one institution in the Federation, claiming to be an absolute safe zone."

Su Wu tossed the black crystal onto the coffee table, making a crisp "snap" sound, his tone carrying undisguised mockery:

"And the result? Before the new students even entered the school gate, most of them were intercepted and killed. If I didn't have some skills, my son would probably have been killed by that monster by now."

"Principal Xu, the way you do things is really not reassuring at all."

Su Wu stood up, and the pressure unique to the Star Lord Realm faintly erupted from his body, actually rivaling Xu Liang.

"Originally, I thought about following local customs and obeying your school rules, with parents not allowed to enter. But now it seems... these school rules are better off ignored."

"For my son's safety, I must stay by his side. If you don't agree, then we won't attend this school."

This was a naked threat.

But Xu Liang was not angry; instead, a flash of shrewdness crossed his eyes.

He had been observing Su Wu all along.

According to the information, Su Wu was just a down-and-out Martial Artist from the Canglan Base. But now it seemed, how was this a down-and-out Martial Artist? This was clearly a mighty Dragon crossing the river!

First-Order Star Lord!

And his aura was refined, his Foundation deep; he didn't even show the slightest timidity when facing himself, a Fifth-Order Star Lord. This meant that the other party definitely had a trump card capable of threatening him!

"Mr. Su, you are exaggerating."

A gentle smile appeared on Xu Liang's face, and the previously tense atmosphere instantly dissolved.

"This matter was indeed Beijing Martial Arts University's negligence, and it caused student Su Yu to be frightened. Mr. Su's deep love for his son is something I completely understand."

Xu Liang took a gold-embossed document that had been prepared long ago from the drawer and pushed it in front of Su Wu.

"This is the appointment letter I just signed."

Xu Liang said with a smile: "In view of Mr. Su's strength, as well as his contribution to handling this crisis, I, on behalf of Imperial Capital Martial Arts University, sincerely invite Mr. Su to become an 'Honorary Guest Elder' of our school."

"Honorary Guest Elder?" Su Wu raised an eyebrow and picked up the document to glance at it.

"That's right." Xu Liang explained, "This position is not part of the official staff, has no mandatory tasks, and does not require office hours. But it possesses extremely high authority; it can freely enter and exit all areas of the campus except for the 'Forbidden Ground', enjoy professor-level treatment, and... apply to live in the expert villa area on campus."

"In this way, Mr. Su can look after student Su Yu at any time, and also Cultivate in this precious land of Beijing Martial Arts University. I wonder what Mr. Su thinks?"

This was an extremely clever open scheme.

On one hand, it gave Su Wu a way to step down, satisfying his need to protect his son; on the other hand, it brought Su Wu into the System of Beijing Martial Arts University, which could both win over a Star Lord Realm powerhouse and facilitate surveillance—after all, a Star Lord of unknown origin wandering around Yanjing was ultimately a hidden danger.

Su Wu looked at the appointment letter, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful arc.

He, of course, knew what this old fox was planning.

But he didn't care.

"Deal."

Su Wu picked up the pen and signed his name.

Half an hour later.

A black commercial hovercar passed through heavy checkpoints and drove into the core area of Imperial Capital Martial Arts University—the living area.

Unlike the student dormitories with high-rise buildings outside, this was a group of villas nestled against the mountains and near the water.

The trees were lush, the Spiritual Qi was abundant, and the environment was as tranquil as a paradise.

"Senior, student Su Yu, we have arrived."

The young man responsible for guiding them parked the car in front of a detached villa numbered "186" and respectfully opened the car door.

"This is the exclusive residence for expert-level instructors. Principal Xu specially approved allocating this vacant Villa No. 186 to the two of you."

The young man introduced with a smile: "Inside the villa, there is an independent gravity Cultivation room, a potion preparation room, and a full set of smart home Systems. The basement also connects directly to the school's Yuan vein node, and the Cultivation efficiency is twice that of the outside world."

"Hmm."

Su Wu stood with his hands behind his back, and with a sweep of his Divine Thought, he understood the structure of the entire villa. The safety coefficient was very high, and there were no messy neighbors around.

"Finally, a place to rest!"

Su Yu had been stifled for a long time; as soon as the car door opened, he pulled Xiaobai and rushed in.

"Wow! What is this sofa made of? It's so soft!"

"Dad! The fridge here is full of B-grade or higher nutrient solutions!"

"And this Cultivation room! The gravity multiplier can actually be adjusted to 50 times!"

Looking at his son's appearance, Su Wu shook his head helplessly, turned his head, and said to the young man: "Thank Principal Xu for me. I am very satisfied with this place."

"As long as you are satisfied, that's good. Then I won't disturb you anymore; if you have any needs, call the life steward at any time."

The young man bowed and took his leave.

As the door closed, only the father and son and one Xiaobai remained in the villa.

"Alright."

Su Wu sat on the sofa, looking at Xiaobai, who was struggling with the sweeping robot, his expression becoming serious.

"Yu'er, although we have entered Beijing Martial Arts University and moved into this comfortable nest, don't forget those 73 dead students."

Su Yu's hand movements paused, the smile on his face faded, and his eyes became sharp: "I know. Star Demon Cult... this debt will be settled sooner or later."

"Hmm." Su Wu nodded, "Tomorrow you are going to see that so-called 'Star Lord-level instructor' of yours. The dean-level figures of Beijing Martial Arts University are not people to be trifled with. Perform well."

"Don't worry, Dad." Su Yu clenched his fist.

The next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the thin morning mist and shone onto the campus of Imperial Capital Martial Arts University.

Su Yu finished breakfast, took Xiaobai, and followed the young guide from yesterday, officially stepping into the teaching area of Beijing Martial Arts University.

Along the way, Su Yu truly felt what it meant to be the "number one institution in the Federation".

The academic atmosphere here was shockingly intense.

And, just as the rumors said, the students here were outrageously strong.

The passersby that Su Yu glanced at casually all had auras at least in the Grandmaster Realm! And those who looked like Core Disciples had even deeper auras, with many already touching the threshold of the Martial King.

"Student Su Yu, ahead is 'Jinglin Garden'."

The guide stopped in front of a dense purple bamboo forest, his expression becoming unusually respectful, even a bit fearful.

"Crossing this bamboo forest is Dean Hong's residence. The Dean likes quiet, and his temper is... uh, rather unique. I won't take you in; take care of yourself."

After saying this, the guide, as if fleeing, disappeared in a flash.

"Unique temper?"

Su Yu scratched his head and looked at Xiaobai on his shoulder, "I have an ominous premonition."

"What is there to be afraid of! With this seat here, any demons and monsters will have to kneel!" Xiaobai curled his lips in disdain.
