57: All for free???

“Today, I’m going to talk to you about some of the school’s systems and regulations, and then discuss the setup of the school’s functional areas.”

“Gladly, Director.”

Ye Liuyun nodded.

The systems at National Martial Arts University are quite different from other schools, like Imperial Capital’s Heavenly Martial and Demon Capital’s Upper Martial. Their systems rely on school-issued campus cards to accumulate credits.

These credits are then used to exchange for all necessary items.

For example, battle suits, weapons, Martial Skills, and so on.

All of these are acquired using the one-card system of each school.

However, National Martial Arts University is unique.

To this day, no information about it can be found online.

The two entered the room and sat opposite each other.

“Regarding some of the Martial Skills, weapons, and battle suits in the school, you don’t need to worry about those.

Because for X-Rank special recruits, these are all included by the school.”

Hearing Director Niu’s words, Ye Liuyun paused, then eagerly asked, “All free?”

Director Niu nodded, then shook his head.

“Not free, but it was already stated when the contract was signed.

All items you need will be provided by the school. It’s not considered free because the school values your talent.

This is a kind of equivalent exchange. As you Cultivate at National Martial Arts University, you will participate in the Great Xia University League in the future, and your achievements will naturally enhance National Martial Arts University’s reputation.”

Ye Liuyun hadn't really read the contract carefully back then; he truly had a narrow perspective.

At that time, he thought 'all-inclusive' just meant food and drink, and at most, receiving some weapons annually.

Oh, what he paid most attention to at the time was the Cultivation resources.

Who would have known that all these things were included?

“Director, what if I didn’t have an X-Rank contract, how would I acquire Martial Skills?”

Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

“Our National Martial Arts University has an open exchange department where you can exchange Vicious Beast corpses.

Bartering! A professional assessment will be made based on the quantity, rarity, and Rank of the Vicious Beast.

In addition, the school also has an open mission channel. As long as you complete tasks issued by the school, you can also receive rewards.

Of course, these tasks also involve killing Vicious Beasts.”

“Understood.”

Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

He really hadn’t come to the wrong place; it was indeed consistent with his goal of killing Vicious Beasts.

Even though he could easily obtain rewards now, he still intended to take on those missions.

To increase his strength!

“By the way, Director, what’s the situation with the University League you just mentioned?” Ye Liuyun truly didn’t know about this, as he had read little information on the subject.

“It’s a stage where various universities showcase their strength through competitions. You’ll know when it’s time for you to participate.”

“Is there a ranking?”

“Yes!”

Director Niu looked at Ye Liuyun and nodded.

“Then I understand. Don’t worry, I will definitely bring glory to our school and not let the school incur a loss,” Ye Liuyun promised, patting his chest.

The school treated him like a favored student, so he couldn't treat the school like a distant relative.

He would give his all!

“Heh, don’t make such a big promise now, kid. There are plenty of Dragon and tiger fights. Confidence is a good thing, but don’t be blindly confident.

Never mind that, on the fifteenth of next month is the National Martial Arts University Freshman Competition. You handle that first.”

Hearing the words ‘Freshman Competition,’ Ye Liuyun was immediately intrigued.

“Our school has a competition? Shouldn’t it be military training?”

“Why not? This is like a baseline test. You, kid, are quite famous now, so don’t stumble at the critical moment.”

Ye Liuyun stroked his chin and nodded slightly, then a strange glint flickered in his eyes.

“Is there a reward for the first place in this Freshman Competition?”

“Get out of here! You’ll know when you participate. First, let me tell you about the distribution of the school’s functional areas.”

Director Niu turned on the TV in the living room, brought up a panoramic view of the school, and began explaining to Ye Liuyun.

The interior of National Martial Arts University covers over 150,000 square meters, enrolling fewer than three thousand students annually.

This ratio is more than a thousand fewer people compared to those two other universities!

Unlike ordinary universities, teaching here is done by selecting a teacher based on your ability Rank and department after enrollment, thus separating classes.

From the moment you choose a teacher, your four-year study plan will be formulated by them, and they will plan a gradual Cultivation path for you.

Classes are not held in large lecture halls with everyone together; instead, you attend classes with your teacher and other students from the same year who chose that teacher.

These people are not only your Senior Brothers, but when you enter the military in the future, you will naturally form a small group.

In addition to the teaching methods, Director Niu also meticulously explained the Martial Arts Hall, testing rooms, weapon shops, battle suit shops, and so on.

Due to its special status, National Martial Arts University does not have any profit-making organizations within the school.

This includes the Limit Martial Hall, Blue Meteor Manufacturing Company, and so on.

Unlike other schools, which, to avoid trouble, directly invite them to set up branches within the school and then ask them to offer a price more favorable than the market price to the school.

National Martial Arts University does not do this; everything is self-operated by the school, and yet, the equipment is no less superior than theirs.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun spoke, “Director, are we really no worse? I’ve experienced the equipment at the Limit Martial Hall; it’s quite advanced. Can our school’s…”

“Are you looking down on our school? The Limit Martial Hall’s equipment is advanced, and we also use the Limit Martial Hall’s equipment.”

“Ah? Don’t they only use their equipment for their own Martial Hall?”

Seeing Ye Liuyun’s surprised expression, Director Niu was quite pleased.

“All the equipment in our school’s training rooms is sponsored by the Limit Martial Hall, and it’s updated and iterated every year. This is National Martial Arts University.”

Ye Liuyun clicked his tongue, filled with admiration.

The official entities are always the most formidable; there’s no doubt about it. The Limit Martial Hall is currently the number one in Great Xia, yet National Martial Arts University can still acquire equipment from them.

And it’s updated and iterated every year—this is what having connections gets you!

“You understand these areas now. Next, I’ll take you on a tour,” Director Niu said, standing up.

“No need, Director, you’re a busy man. Go ahead and take care of your work. I’m not a child; I can look around by myself,” Ye Liuyun quickly stood up and waved his hand.

Director Niu had already taken good care of him, and he was busy with his work.

“Oh? I am indeed busy. Then you can look around by yourself. By the way, I’ve prepared a few sets of military uniforms for you as school uniforms. You just need to put on the military Rank,” Director Niu said with a smile.

“Director, can I not wear the military Rank? It’s too flashy!”

Among all the freshmen and even older students in the entire school, he was the only major; that was too special!

“No! Not wearing the military Rank makes you even more special. These are your military achievements; there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. If they’re capable, they can try blocking a Fourth-Rank Vicious Beast on the Eastern Front, just like you.”

Listening to Director Niu’s protective words, he gave a wry smile.

“Alright, Director, I’ll listen to you.”

He wanted to keep a low profile, but it simply wasn't allowed.

“Alright, then you can look around by yourself. By the way, this is your identification. With this, all areas of the school are open to you for free.”

Director Niu pulled a card from his pocket and handed it over.

“Great, thank you, Director.”
