26: Chapter 26 Xiao Wangshu
The interior of the carriage was spacious and bright, with a comfortable environment and large seats.
Qin Yan noticed that the entire carriage was empty; including himself, there were only three students—two males and one female.
He soon understood; today was the last day of registration, and most New Students had already arrived early to familiarize themselves with the environment.
The train doors closed slowly with almost no noise, and then it smoothly accelerated, carrying the three students who were the last to report toward the legendary Modu University of Martial Arts at high speed!
“Classmate, are you also a freshman in this year's class?”
The man in the distance came up behind Qin Yan and spoke.
“That's right, you too?” Since someone had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation, Qin Yan returned the smile, not averse to communicating.
“Yes, I'm also a New Student. My name is Gao Ming, and I'm from Nanjiang Province.
How come you waited until the last day to report?”
Gao Ming naturally walked over and sat in the empty seat next to Qin Yan.
“I couldn't bear to leave home and wanted to spend more time with my family,” Qin Yan told him truthfully.
“Haha, then we're the same!
I also dawdled until the last day before setting off.”
Gao Ming seemed to have found a kindred spirit and opened up, “My family almost threw my luggage out directly, saying if I didn't leave, I wouldn't make it for registration.”
The two of them started chatting like that.
From the conversation, Qin Yan learned that Gao Ming came from an ordinary, slightly wealthy family.
After chatting for a while, Gao Ming seemed to hesitate for a moment but still couldn't help asking, “Student Qin Yan, if you don't mind me asking, what is your student ID number?”
The last two digits of the student ID represented the admission ranking. This was public information among New Students and an important basis for everyone to initially judge each other's strength.
“2250702—59,” Qin Yan replied calmly.
“59?!” Gao Ming's voice instantly spiked, filled with unbelievable shock.
His eyes widened as he looked Qin Yan up and down again, as if to confirm whether he had misheard.
He never expected that a peaceful and ordinary-looking Classmate he met randomly on the train would actually be a top-tier powerhouse ranked in the top sixty!
His own student ID was 599. Although being able to enter Modu University of Martial Arts already made him a one-in-a-hundred genius, in front of this terrifying Number 59, he was simply a small fry.
However, he wasn't discouraged. His family conditions were just slightly worse, unable to compare with those martial arts families.
Once at Modu University of Martial Arts, he believed that with the university's systematic cultivation, the guidance of good mentors, and the pouring in of massive resources, he would not be inferior to anyone.
“Gao Ming, is that girl in front also a New Student?”
Qin Yan pointed to the solitary figure sitting in the very front row of the carriage.
From the back, her posture was upright. She wore simple sportswear, and her long hair fell like a waterfall.
“Um... I'm not too sure about that.”
Gao Ming's expression turned strange as he lowered his voice, “Just now I tried to go over and say hello, but before I even got within three meters of her, I was forced back by the blood qi pressure naturally radiating from her body... That pressure was terrifying!
Qin Yan, I advise you not to provoke her either.”
Recalling the feeling from just now, Gao Ming still had lingering fears.
Hearing this, Qin Yan felt a chill in his heart.
To be admitted to Modu University of Martial Arts, Gao Ming's blood qi was at least 9 cal, yet he was forced back by the pressure the other party unconsciously radiated?
This strength... he could almost be certain that the girl was definitely a true martial artist!
“If she is also a New Student... then she is definitely one of the most top-tier existences in this year's class.”
Qin Yan thought to himself.
Half an hour later, the train smoothly decelerated and finally stopped.
A notification sound rang out, and the doors slowly opened.
Qin Yan and Gao Ming walked off the train together with their luggage.
At the same time, the girl in the front row also stood up and walked off the train with composed steps.
The moment she turned around, Qin Yan finally saw her face.
It was an extremely cold and beautiful face, with fair skin and features as exquisite as if carved. But what drew the most attention were her eyes—in her deep pupils, a very faint, shimmering Silver Crescent Moon Mark actually seemed to emerge!
It gave her entire being a mysterious and noble temperament.
“What... is that?”
Qin Yan's heart shook violently; he almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
When he subconsciously focused his mind to look again, he found that those eyes had returned to normal. Although they were still clear and icy, that strange crescent moon mark had vanished without a trace, as if it were just his hallucination.
“Qin Yan, what's wrong?”
Gao Ming noticed Qin Yan's abnormality and asked.
“Nothing, maybe I'm a bit tired and my eyes are playing tricks on me.”
Qin Yan shook his head, suppressing the doubt in his heart, “Let's go.”
The two of them walked forward side by side, while the cold girl followed unhurriedly behind, maintaining a distance.
“So this is Modu University of Martial Arts... how impressive!”
Gao Ming looked ahead and let out a heartfelt exclamation.
What met their eyes was a magnificent, modern-style gate.
The lintel was over ten meters high and more than a hundred meters wide, composed entirely of some kind of dark silver metal. It was engraved with complex patterns and six powerful characters that faintly contained the true intent of martial arts: 'Modu University of Martial Arts'.
The gate was wide open, with people constantly entering and leaving. Every person radiated blood qi fluctuations of varying strengths, but all were definitely far beyond ordinary people; not a single one was a commoner!
The three of them showed their admission notices, successfully passed through security, and stepped onto the campus.
The moment they entered, Qin Yan's peripheral vision caught a corner of the admission notice held by the girl behind him.
Name: Xiao Wangshu
Student ID: 2250702—01
“1!”
Qin Yan's footsteps instantly stopped, and his heart gave a sudden leap! She really was a New Student!
And she was the undisputed number one of this class!
The student ID 225 represented the year of admission, and the 01 at the end was the ranking!
Even more shocking things followed for Qin Yan.
Just a few steps after the girl named Xiao Wangshu walked into the school gate, an old man wearing a black, ancient long robe with a golden diamond-shaped badge pinned to his chest appeared in front of her.
The old man had a kind face. He gave Xiao Wangshu a chuckle and said something. Then, with a gentle flick of his sleeve, the figures of the two of them seemed to melt into the air and instantly vanished!
“Qin Yan... did, did you see the clothing and badge on that old man just now?”
Gao Ming's voice was trembling, filled with disbelief.
“I saw it...”
Qin Yan took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the stormy waves in his heart.
That black robe, that golden diamond-shaped badge... he had seen the relevant pictures and descriptions in the school brochure attached to the admission notice—this was the emblem of the Dean of Modu University of Martial Arts!
“Terrifying... I didn't expect such a great god to be hidden on the train, picked up directly by a Dean-level figure!”
Gao Ming patted his chest, feeling like he was in a dream.
