A choice? Military! (Fifth watch!)

"Student Lin Xiao, we meet again."

Several Martial Artists exuding powerful fluctuations stood outside Lin Xiao's room; Lin Xiao had seen them all.

They were the directors of the five top universities!

"Student Lin Xiao, won't you invite us in for a sit?"

Zheng Guoqing of Dragon Martial University looked at Lin Xiao with a smile, surprised that they would meet so soon after their last parting.

"Seniors, please come in!" Lin Xiao quickly invited them inside.

"Student Lin Xiao, I'll get straight to the point. On behalf of Dragon Martial University, I formally extend an admission offer to you. If you choose our Dragon Martial University, you will receive a cultivation fund of 100 million per year, and an additional SSS-grade cultivation resource annually!"

Zheng Guoqing looked at Lin Xiao with a serious expression; this treatment was quite generous!

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and didn't immediately agree. He had some understanding of SSS-grade cultivation resources; their market value was around 100 million, and they were the kind that were priceless and rarely available.

"Student Lin Xiao, I am Cai Rongguang from Dawn University. Dawn University can provide you with 80 million in cultivation funds annually. Additionally, Dawn University has many special cultivation environments, and I can apply for a certain amount of free access for you!"

Cai Rongguang's expression was somewhat helpless. In terms of wealth, no one dared to claim first place if Dragon Martial University was second. This was already the limit he could strive for.

Lin Xiao nodded. Special cultivation environments should be similar to the Sumeru environment in the Prodigy Training Camp, which had very good effects.

"Student Lin Xiao, our Liming University focuses on the field of Martial Skill research. In addition to providing you with 80 million in cultivation funds annually, we can specially arrange a Martial Venerable Rank expert to be your teacher!"

A Martial Venerable Rank expert, that would be a top-tier expert who has reached the eighth stage!

Lin Xiao had never met such a figure until now!

"Lin Xiao, I see you've already cultivated a powerful physique. Why not pursue the path of the physical body! Our Ba Tian University specializes in the physical body. Have you heard of Ba Tian Martial Saint? He is our Principal!"

Ba Tian Martial Saint! One of the Martial Saints of Dragon Country, who achieved Sainthood through the physical body, capable of splitting the sky with a single punch!

Lin Xiao was very shocked, never expecting that the Principal of Ba Tian University was a Martial Saint-Grade existence!

The others were somewhat displeased. Zheng Guoqing retorted, "Zhange, Ba Tian Martial Saint is only a nominal figure. We've never heard of the Martial Saint appearing on campus normally. Such a Peak figure is not someone you can just meet whenever you want. Don't scare people; offer something practical!"

Zhange gave an awkward smile: "Our Ba Tian University can provide you with 80 million in cultivation funds annually. Additionally, all Martial Skills within the university are free for you. Of course, we can also find a Martial Venerable Rank expert to be your mentor!"

This made Qin Li of Liming University grind his teeth loudly!

Lin Xiao still nodded and then looked towards the one with the heaviest Evil Qi, who was Li Long from Military Martial University.

Li Long also looked at him.

"Student Lin Xiao, our Military Martial University can only provide you with 50 million in cultivation funds annually!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people from the other universities all smiled, clearly thinking that Military Martial University's competitiveness was far inferior to their own.

Lin Xiao was also waiting for the other party's next words.

"Furthermore, our Military Martial University cannot even guarantee your safe graduation, because all Military Martial students will be charging into battle on actual battlefields!"

This left Lin Xiao a bit bewildered. What did he mean by not being able to guarantee his safe graduation?

"Li Long, a Peerless Prodigy like Lin Xiao is not suitable for your Military Martial University. Who doesn't know that countless Military Martial University students die and get injured every year? If such an unprecedented Prodigy were to die in your university, it would be a loss for the entire Dragon Country!" Zheng Guoqing spoke out in denial!

Military Martial University's teaching method was very extreme; they believed in the iron rule that the strong are forged through killing!

Throughout their university years, students would be assigned to battlefields, participating in countless battles, and could easily die in battle if they weren't careful.

Li Long ignored the other party and looked at Lin Xiao.

"Although I cannot guarantee your safe graduation, what I can guarantee is that every student who graduates from Military Martial University will be a true expert!"

"There have been three Martial Saint Experts who have come out of our Military Martial University!"

This sentence deeply shocked Lin Xiao. There were fewer than ten Saint-level experts on the surface in Dragon Country, and Military Martial University alone produced three? What a terrifying number!

Li Long's eyes were sharp. He looked at Lin Xiao's face and slowly spoke a name that shocked Lin Xiao even more.

"Martial Saint Lord Lin Yaotian was also a student of Military Martial University!"

Lin Yaotian!

Lin Xiao's first teacher in the true sense, though this was Lin Xiao's own belief!

He truly hadn't expected Senior Lin Yaotian to also come from Military Martial University!

This scene caused the expressions of the other four university directors to change. Why did Li Long specifically mention Lord Lin's name? Was there information they didn't know?

Lin Xiao's expression kept changing, and finally, he took a deep breath!

"Thank you, Seniors, for valuing this student. This student chooses Military Martial University!"

This made the others anxious.

"Lin Xiao, don't rush. If the money isn't enough, I can add more. You really need to consider it carefully. Our Dragon Martial University ranks first in overall academic strength, and we can discuss the benefits further!" Zheng Guoqing quickly spoke, truly not wanting to miss out on such a Peerless Prodigy!

The other directors also spoke, trying to make a final struggle.

Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Thank you all very much for valuing me so highly, but my mind is made up! I choose Military Martial University!"

Seeing Lin Xiao's unusually firm expression, Zheng Guoqing and the others opened their mouths, then finally sighed, shook their heads, and left the place.

Only Li Long remained, his face showing no unusual expression, as if he wasn't too surprised by this outcome.

"Lin Xiao, I'll give you three days to settle your affairs. After three days, someone will come to pick you up! Military Martial University students have no holidays!"

After speaking, Li Long left the place with steady steps.

Lin Xiao scratched his head. This script wasn't right. He was the national top scholar; shouldn't his treatment be slightly different?

Never mind! No holidays means no holidays!

In the following time, Lin Xiao handled his personal matters, went to Wang Ye's house, and had dinner with the uncle's family.

During the dinner, Wang Ye kept hinting to the old man to abdicate, saying it was their young generation's era now!

After the dinner, Lin Xiao left under the gaze of Wang Ye's family.

"You little brat, if you had even one-tenth of Lin Xiao's ability, I'd hand over my position to you right now!"

This made Wang Ye very annoyed!

Lin Xiao went to school. He arrived very discreetly, even using his spatial ability to teleport directly to the Principal's office, which startled Principal Chu, who thought there was an expert attack.

"What? You chose Military Martial University?"

Principal Chu's expression tightened. Military Martial University had a certain mortality rate every year!

But after seeing Lin Xiao's unusually firm expression, he calmed down. Since it was his choice, as Principal, he would fully support it!

True Geniuses are existences that ordinary people cannot imagine!

"Lin Xiao, I look forward to the day you grow into a true Peak expert! I will always watch over you from No. 3 Middle School!"

Principal Chu looked at the young man before him. Their time together was very short, but he had long treated Lin Xiao like his own child.

The fledgling eagle will eventually soar across the sky!

The hidden Dragon will eventually return to the sea!

When we meet again next time, you will surely have grown into a true Peerless Prodigy!

Looking at the departing young man, Principal Chu greatly anticipated the arrival of that day.
