Pu Xin male Pang Jinghai

"Boss Pang, you're here."

Huangfu Yan's expression immediately became humble, and he went forward to greet him.

Pang Jinghai nodded slightly at him, then walked directly towards Jiang Xuan.

"You're that Genius Artisan who's been making waves recently? You look quite unremarkable."

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly:

"Who are you?"

This person had a squash-like face, a red nose, small eyes, a pockmarked face, but a tall and large physique.

But the key thing was, he was so ugly, yet he said he was unremarkable. Did he not have a mirror at home?!

Pang Jinghai laughed very arrogantly:

"You're mingling in a gathering I organized, and you don't even know who I am? Alright, seeing as you're not as handsome as I am, I'll reluctantly tell you. I am Pang Jinghai, a mere One-Star Martial Emperor at twenty years old, currently a sophomore at Seven Star University."

Jiang Xuan: ...Who are you calling ugly, who isn't as handsome as your squash-faced, pockmarked self!

"Oh, Pang Jinghai, what a pleasure to meet you."

Jiang Xuan replied very politely on the surface, because he suddenly realized that this person might not be very bright, even though he had high Martial Dao talent, already a Martial Emperor at twenty years old.

Pang Jinghai waved his hand very proudly:

"No need for pleasantries. How about it, you've probably interacted with them just now, the people in my circle are all pretty good, right? They're all university students from the Yan School Alliance, just like me. Why don't you join us? Whether it's during this time in Lei City or later in the City of Flame, we'll hold various gatherings from time to time, where you can spar in Martial Skill or exchange information."

The Yan School Alliance, Jiang Xuan had heard of it before, referring to the five Martial Arts Universities in the City of Flame.

These five Martial Arts Universities were Mangu University, Qinglian University, Seven Star University, Yunhai University, and Li Huo University, and they were as famous as the Three Great Martial Arts Halls in the City of Flame.

The Yan School Alliance was undoubtedly the top university in Xia Kingdom. Above the five universities of the Yan School Alliance were only Qiankun University and Chaos University, located at the pinnacle of the Human Federation.

It was said that Qiankun University and Chaos University only recruited the top thirty students from the College Entrance Examination each year, fifteen students per school, and cultivated them with all the resources of the Human Federation.

Of course, conversely, below Qiankun University and Chaos University, there wasn't just the Yan School Alliance of Xia Kingdom's City of Flame. The best Martial Arts Universities in other human nations were actually similar to the five universities of the Yan School Alliance, just far inferior to Qiankun University and Chaos University.

"So it's Seven Star University... Many people at our Lei Cheng No. 1 Middle School dream of getting into Seven Star University."

Jiang Xuan did not directly answer the question of whether to join Pang Jinghai's circle, but changed the subject.

Unexpectedly, Pang Jinghai seemed completely unaware, and instead smiled smugly:

"Right? But before coming to Lei City, I did some research. In the past thirty years, only one person from your Lei City got into the Yan School Alliance, and they went to Qinglian University, not our Seven Star University. Let me tell you a secret—"

As he spoke, he leaned into Jiang Xuan's ear and whispered:

"Our Seven Star University has a strict appearance requirement; we only accept handsome guys and beautiful girls as students."

Pfft!

As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Yan, who was nearby, couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Pang Jinghai's small eyes on his squash-like face showed a puzzled expression:

"Xiao Yan, what are you laughing at?"

Huangfu Yan tried hard to suppress his laughter:

"No, nothing, I just remembered something happy."

Pfft!

Suddenly, the red-haired, leather-clad female university student also seemed to be infected and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Pang Jinghai turned to her and asked again:

"Ji Ying, what are you laughing at? Did you also remember something happy?"

Ji Ying struggled to suppress her laughter, nodding: "Yes, yes, you caught me."

Jiang Xuan: ...It's a good thing these two laughed, otherwise he would have thought there was something wrong with his own aesthetic judgment.

What kind of appearance requirement did this Seven Star University have? And he had never heard of a Martial Arts University needing an appearance requirement for admission!

Pang Jinghai looked over again, his tone becoming full of temptation:

"How about it, do you want to join our circle? If you agree, I can tell you a big secret right now, a big secret about why we're here!"

Jiang Xuan's heart stirred, and he feigned curiosity:

"What big secret?"

Before anyone could stop him, Pang Jinghai had already blurted out grandly:

"In at most twenty-three days, a martial dao sacred remains will emerge in Lei City! How about it, are you scared?"

As if afraid Jiang Xuan wouldn't know what a martial dao sacred remains was, he immediately explained:

"A martial dao sacred remains can be absorbed and assimilated by Martial Artists under twenty years old. After assimilation, they will possess Saint-Grade talent, and there will be no obstacles in Cultivating all the way to Martial Saint! Aren't your two Masters stuck at Ten-Star Martial Emperor for so many years? And that's just from Martial Emperor to Martial Venerable. Moreover, my mother told me that if one can assimilate a martial dao sacred remains, there's also a chance to obtain several special abilities of that Martial Saint from his lifetime!"

As soon as these words came out, it was Lü Yunxiao nearby who turned pale with fright.

martial dao sacred remains?

Wasn't it said that only a corpse of the martial emperor would emerge?

If it was a martial dao sacred remains, then there would really be no place for these Transfer Students to interfere.

"Wait, is this why Boss Feng and Xia Xi were urgently called back?"

As Lü Yunxiao was thinking, Pang Jinghai noticed him.

"Oh, my, how is there another stranger? Since you've overheard this big secret, you must also join us. However, with your One-Star Martial Artist strength, you can only serve us as a junior, bringing tea and water."

With just a few words, Pang Jinghai included Lü Yunxiao. Lü Yunxiao's shock had not yet dissipated, but he suddenly became overjoyed.

Being able to enter such a circle, he would be happy even if it meant bringing tea and water!

Jiang Xuan, however, spoke at this moment:

"Alright, then I'll join too. I don't need to bring tea and water, do I?"

Pang Jinghai immediately smiled and said:

"No, no, although you're uglier than me, at least you're better looking than them, and you're also a Genius Artisan! Our circle just happens to be missing a Genius Artisan!"

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly. Although this world valued strength, it occasionally valued connections. Joining such a circle would bring him more benefits than drawbacks, and in itself, there were no real drawbacks.

More importantly, he found that although Pang Jinghai had questionable aesthetic judgment, he was quite straightforward and guileless. He just blurted out such a big secret as the martial dao sacred remains.

Being in a circle with such a person, at least he didn't have to fear being tricked, which was quite reassuring.

"Brother, you are currently only a Seven-Star Martial Artist. You need to seize the time and work hard, at least to raise your strength to Martial King."

Pang Jinghai immediately became familiar, directly putting his arm around Jiang Xuan's shoulder like Huangfu Yan before, and continued:

"The reason is quite simple, my mother told me that when the martial dao sacred remains emerges, everyone's strength will be restricted to One-Star Martial King. That is to say, you can only become a One-Star Martial King to then compete for the martial dao sacred remains based on your own abilities!"
