Chapter 99 Arrival, Jingwu University!
The day of Chu Han's departure finally arrived.
Under his parents' gaze, Chu Han left home and boarded the train to the Capital.
The items he won from the lucky draws over the past two days were all basic Medicinal Pills for Cultivation, which he left for his father.
Among them, that Bloodthirsty Vine had also been nurtured by Chu Han.
Using the corpses of Bai Chongming and other high-level Martial Artists, the Bloodthirsty Vine grew extremely fast and had already developed impressive combat strength.
Chu Han then used Medicinal Pills and energy stones to raise the Bloodthirsty Vine's strength to the level of a Fifth-Order Exotic Beast.
At the same time, he helped his father complete the soul-binding process for the Bloodthirsty Vine.
This way, his father had an extra trump card.
Letting the Bloodthirsty Vine take root in the Chu family villa would provide protection and security.
As a result, even if they encountered an enemy attack, the Bloodthirsty Vine would be able to handle it.
If the enemy was too strong, the Bloodthirsty Vine could still buy time for his parents to escape.
Jiang City was thousands of kilometers away from the Capital, but the only transportation option Chu Han had was the high-speed train.
This was because the skies of Blue Star were still dominated by flying exotic beasts; only military fighter jets with combat capabilities dared to fly in the air.
Consequently, the most mainstream long-distance transportation in this world was the high-speed train.
The high-speed trains in this world were incredibly fast, with top speeds reaching the speed of sound.
Thus, it would only take half a day for Chu Han to reach the Capital.
The train soon sped out of the city, and the scenery outside the window changed constantly.
Chu Han closed his eyes, not wasting the time spent on the train, and began to Cultivate his Mental Energy.
By the time he emerged from his Cultivation, the announcement for the train's arrival in the Capital was already ringing in his ears.
He had finally arrived at the capital of Longxia.
The Capital was one of the two largest cities in the Dragon Summer Federation and served as the nation's political and military center.
It also boasted the highest number of Martial Artists in the country, making it a true city of Martial Artists!
The luxury of this city far exceeded that of the provincial capital of Tianyuan Province.
"As expected, the capital's foundation is truly different," Chu Han sighed inwardly.
After leaving the station, Chu Han took a car to Jingwu Martial Arts University.
Jingwu Martial Arts University was far from the city center, nestled within a green area on the outskirts.
Upon arriving at Jingwu Martial Arts University, Chu Han was instantly struck speechless by the sight before him.
Ahead was an incredibly magnificent school gate, a hundred meters tall, exuding a majestic and solemn Aura.
In the center of the gate hung a massive plaque with the six large characters for "Jingwu Martial Arts University."
The calligraphy was bold and powerful, faintly containing a hint of Martial Dao Concept, inspiring awe in anyone who saw it.
To the left of the gate stood a massive stone monument about a hundred and fifty meters high, with only the character "Wu" carved upon it.
This "Wu" character was vigorous and forceful, radiating a boundless Martial Dao Concept.
It was much more impressive than the six characters on the gate.
After just a few glances, Chu Han felt his mind being drawn in.
It was as if he were immersed in a pure world of Martial Dao, and his understanding of the Martial Dao in his mind deepened by several degrees.
"What a strong Martial Dao Concept!" Chu Han was inwardly shocked.
This stone monument was no longer just an ordinary stone; it was a treasure containing Martial Dao Concept.
Entering the gate, a broad main road stretched into the distance, paved with smooth white stone slabs and spanning a hundred meters in width.
Along both sides of the main road grew rows of towering ancient trees, emanating a thick Aura of Yuan Qi.
At the school gate, young Martial Artists passed by from time to time, each radiating a powerful Aura.
They were clearly students of Kyoto Martial Arts University.
"This place really is a gathering spot for Geniuses," Chu Han thought to himself.
Only in such an environment could a Martial Artist's potential be constantly stimulated for rapid growth.
However, he didn't go in, staying instead at the campus entrance.
He had already messaged Zhao Hongtao while on the train, and Zhao Hongtao said he would come out to meet him immediately.
After all, Kyoto Martial Arts University covered an area of hundreds of square kilometers; without a guide, it would be easy to get lost.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a car drove up.
A familiar figure stepped out of the car; it was none other than Zhao Hongtao, the recruitment representative for Jingwu Martial Arts University.
Seeing Chu Han, a smile immediately broke across his face: "Student Chu Han, welcome to Jingwu Martial Arts University! Come, I'll take you to complete the enrollment procedures and arrange your dormitory."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Chu Han got into Zhao Hongtao's car.
Along the way, Zhao Hongtao explained some of the campus details to Chu Han.
"Kyoto Martial Arts University is divided into four main areas: the Teaching Area, the Cultivation Area, the Living Area, and the Trading Area."
"The Teaching Area is primarily for classes and research; the Cultivation Area has various Cultivation Chambers, Gravity Rooms, and the trial tower; the Living Area consists of dormitories, cafeterias, and so on."
"In addition, there's the Trading Area for buying and exchanging weapons, equipment, Medicinal Pills, and Materials."
"Everything in the school must be exchanged for credits. There are many ways to earn credits, such as completing school missions, reaching floors in the trial tower, rising in the rankings of the three major leaderboards, participating in various competitions, hunting exotic beasts, and so on."
"Ordinary New Students start with 50 credits, but because you are a Specially Recruited Student, your initial credits will be 10,000 more, as recorded in the recruitment terms."
"Plus, with your S-rank authority, you can apply to use the school's most Advanced Cultivation Chambers and Gravity Rooms at any time."
Chu Han nodded repeatedly upon hearing this; his initial 10,050 credits would indeed give him a significant lead.
Coupled with the S-rank authority, doing anything on campus would be very convenient, allowing him to focus on his Cultivation.
"That building on the left is the True Martial Pavilion."
Zhao Hongtao said, pointing to a quaint building ahead to the left.
"It houses various Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques, ranging from F-rank to S-rank. With your S-rank authority, you can enter the highest floor and pick any Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill you're interested in. Of course, these still need to be exchanged for credits."
"Do you see that high tower in the middle?"
Zhao Hongtao pointed to a tower in the distance that pierced the clouds.
"That is the trial tower. It has ninety-nine floors, each with its own Secret Realm. The more floors you clear, the more points and rewards you receive. You have the authority to enter the tower and can challenge it at any time."
Chu Han looked up; the trial tower was hundreds of meters tall, made of silver-white metal, and its body was covered in complex symbols, exuding a mysterious and powerful Aura.
"I wonder how many floors I can clear right now?"
Chu Han murmured to himself.
Zhao Hongtao continued: "The school has three major leaderboards: the trial tower ranking, the combat power ranking, and the exotic beast hunting points ranking."
"These three leaderboards cover students of all grades. Whether you are a New Student or a Senior Student, as long as you have the strength, you can make the list."
"Each grade also has its own individual ranking, and rewards are distributed annually based on these rankings."
"To participate in the Hundred Schools Elite Tournament, students are required not only to be among the top in their grade rankings but also to break into the top one hundred of the three overall leaderboards to be eligible for the tournament selection."
"The fact that you've secured a spot for the Hundred Schools Elite Tournament hasn't been announced yet. If it were, many upperclassmen would come to challenge you every day, so you must become stronger as quickly as possible."
Chu Han understood.
No wonder the spots for the Hundred Schools Elite Tournament were so precious; the requirements were indeed high.
Zhao Hongtao giving him a spot directly did indeed come with immense pressure.
Zhao Hongtao's car finally stopped in front of an Administration Building.
The two went to Zhao Hongtao's office, where Zhao Hongtao proceeded to handle a series of enrollment procedures for him.
The staff entered Chu Han's information into the System and linked it to a white card.
This was the Kyoto Martial Arts University student ID, which also served as a credit card and a bank card.
"Student Chu Han, this is your student ID."
The staff member handed the card to Chu Han.
Zhao Hongtao explained: "100 million federal currency and 10,050 credits have already been deposited into it. You can check and use them at any time."
Zhao Hongtao then handed Chu Han a silver Communication Bracelet: "This is a specially made school Communication Bracelet, already bound to your student ID. With this, you won't have to go through the trouble of taking out your ID every time."
Chu Han nodded and took the card and bracelet.
Afterward, Zhao Hongtao led Chu Han to the dormitory area.
The dormitory area was located on the west side of the school, with a quiet environment and fresh air.
There were rows of dormitory buildings as well as some luxuriously decorated detached courtyards.
"Because you are a Specially Recruited Student and have S-rank authority, the school has assigned you a luxury single-room dormitory."
Zhao Hongtao opened the gate to a courtyard. "It has all the facilities you need: a Cultivation Chamber, bathroom, kitchen, and study are all provided. You can move in immediately."
Chu Han stepped into the dormitory and saw that it was luxuriously decorated; even the furniture was crafted from precious Spirit Wood, emitting a faint Aura of Yuan Qi.
The first floor was the living room, the second floor was the bedroom and study, and the third floor was a spacious Cultivation Chamber.
"Too extravagant."
Chu Han sighed inwardly.
He hadn't expected to live in such a luxurious dormitory all by himself.
Zhao Hongtao smiled. "Kyoto Martial Arts University is never stingy with outstanding students, and I hope your future performance will be worthy of this dormitory."
