73: High school life came to an end, arriving at the Magic City Wuda!!
In the following days,
Han Lie had nothing else to do, simply putting a period on his high school phase, and making some insignificant preparations for the upcoming university life.
First,
he needed to have a talk with Ning Yu.
Pile Standing is a fundamental skill that a Martial Artist must practice throughout their life; at least before the sixth rank, one must temper their Qi and blood every day.
That night, Han Lie found Ning Yu.
This woman was easy to use and obedient, and he wanted to bring her to university to be a nanny, who could give him massages and cook for him every day.
Initially,
when Ning Yu heard that Han Lie wanted to take her to university, she was apprehensive and uneasy, especially knowing she was going to a top-tier Martial Arts University. She always felt she wasn't worthy of such a place, and additionally, she was very familiar with Director Feng and couldn't leave the land that gave birth to and raised her.
Han Lie understood that he needed to add money.
He was no longer short of money now; the government rewarded him with 5 million, and the school transferred another 2 million to him, referring to the high school. As for Shanghai Martial Arts University, there was still a 10 million campus activity fund waiting to be claimed; since he hadn't been officially admitted yet, it was natural that they hadn't given him the money in advance.
For the current Han Lie, 7 million could already be considered financial freedom.
He directly offered Ning Yu 20,000 a month. The latter happily packed her luggage, stating she would follow Han Lie's arrangements anytime.
.................
Second,
he communicated with Bai He Wan.
The Teacher from Shanghai Martial Arts University clearly misunderstood, thinking Bai He Wan was his girlfriend. In reality, the two were just ordinary classmates, merely appearing somewhat ambiguous.
Of course,
Han Lie owed Bai He Wan a favor.
He later learned that the item Bai He Wan used at the time was a one-time attack rune stone crafted by the Stone-Born Race, the most peculiar race in the Universe of Myriad Races. This race possesses a mysterious talent: they can replicate one attack from a Martial Artist of the same rank.
Han Lie only saw a blurry shadow; his knowledge couldn't precisely determine the rank of that shadow, but considering it could make a third-rank fierce beast turn tail and run, its strength level should not be lower than fifth-order.
Some Martial Artists, using external items, can possess the attack power equivalent to a fifth-order or even higher-order Martial Artist. This sounds incredible.
It goes without saying,
that thing was definitely worth a fortune.
So, Han Lie wanted to repay this favor and told Bai He Wan that he could take her to Shanghai Martial Arts University.
“Me?”
Bai He Wan looked very happy after hearing this and said she would discuss it with her family immediately, giving her reply that same evening:
“They agreed!”
“We can attend the same Martial Arts University!”
..................
Third,
he had a simple gathering with his classmates and Teachers.
Eating, drinking, and bragging.
All the young people were full of fantasies about the future, and Cui Dazhi directly declared:
“Our Experimental Class from Third High School!!”
“Gathered, we are a ball of fire; scattered, we are stars filling the sky! Let's meet on the battlefield of the myriad heavens!!”
A classmate immediately frowned:
“That's too far!”
“Is it far?”
Cui Dazhi scratched his head and smiled, speaking to all his classmates and especially to Han Lie:
“Then let's meet at the National University Martial Arts Competition!!”
“Will we meet?”
All the students looked forward to it. Meeting their classmates on a national stage would be a kind of romance.
Xin Yao hadn't drunk alcohol but felt a little giddy.
She also directly found Han Lie.
Saying:
“I'm going to Yan Jing Martial Arts University!”
“I can't beat you now, but that might not be the case in the future. Don't slack off at Shanghai Martial Arts University, or else, hmph hmph...”
................
A few days later,
on the bullet train heading to Shanghai,
Han Lie felt quite novel taking a train for the first time. This was because he wasn't sitting in the bullet train he remembered; this behemoth in front of him, rather than calling it a vehicle, he preferred to call it a dragon.
The entry displayed:
【Candle Dragon Hunter Vehicle: The skeleton of a Candle Dragon, crafted by the Tool-Making Race, the most skilled at forging in the Universe of Myriad Races, transformed into a hunter vehicle capable of carrying passengers. Its hardness allows it to traverse the Universe and withstand the impact of Mystic Realms. It is an SSS-grade battle vehicle.】
“Another SSS-grade battle vehicle!”
Han Lie's eyes lit up.
When could he own one? However, this goal seemed difficult to achieve in the short term. He had lived in this area for so many years and hadn't seen a single one.
As he recalled, only the Director of the Martial Arts Bureau had one, and it was assigned by the government.
Speaking back to the vehicle in front of him,
as mentioned earlier, after thousands of years of development, although society had stabilized, Mystic Realms would occasionally appear on Blue Star. The emergence of new Mystic Realms would cause spatial fluctuations, and large numbers ofXenomorph creatures would come out from them. It was fine in the city because there were special guard teams, but if encountered in the wild, it would be dangerous.
Therefore, between cities, there would be battle vehicles of this caliber. The cost was considerable, and naturally, the fare was not cheap either.
Only then did Han Lie realize,
the ticket price for this vehicle was 100,000. With his current worth, he could certainly afford it, but his current value didn't allow him to spend this money; someone had already paid for it on his behalf.
It wasn't Shanghai Martial Arts University,
because before Han Lie even notified them, as the first to know about his departure, Bai He Wan's family had already bought him the ticket.
“Rich!”
“Not just ordinarily rich!”
How could Han Lie not understand? This seemingly naive girl's family background was probably extraordinary, and she wasn't some strong-armed girl; she fundamentally had no talent for cultivation and didn't particularly like cultivating.
She simply ate too many good things.
..............
“Let's go!”
The Candle Dragon soared into the sky, and from a completely new perspective, the two took a final look at Director Feng. They might return in a month, but the feeling was different.
It was as if they were the protagonists of the world,
about to embark on a new adventure.
The Candle Dragon moved steadily and quickly. The passengers on the vehicle were also of high quality, and the entire journey was quite quiet. Many people saw Han Lie and Bai He Wan, and combined with the timing and the irrepressible excitement in their eyes, they could roughly guess that these were students about to head to Martial Arts University.
What an enviable age.
And the most enviable, most passionate Martial Arts University life was about to begin.
The journey was uneventful.
After getting off the vehicle, the two transferred again and arrived at their destination, Shanghai Martial Arts University, at 6 PM.
Upon seeing the Martial Arts University covering hundreds of thousands of mu,
Han Lie's previous ingrained understanding from his past life was directly shattered. Only through the introductory sign at the school gate did he learn that Shanghai Martial Arts University was a Martial Arts University built half on a Mystic Realm and half on Blue Star, which was why its occupied area was extraordinarily large.
The two stood at the school gate,
like monkeys,
but the light in their eyes was like fiery golden eyes.
The brand new Martial Arts University arc
was about to begin.
