95: Rushing to accept disciples, the second function of the Martial God System
Ding dong.
Bank card credited with 100 million great xia currency.
Li Ziyu looked at the balance in his card with satisfaction; Nangong Hao had transferred the money very promptly.
He had transferred the money while still on the stretcher.
With the great xia currency credited, Li Ziyu no longer paid attention to Nangong Hao and turned to walk off the arena.
At this moment, on the system countdown, there were less than 200 seconds left.
200...
199...
Li Ziyu had just stepped off the arena, preparing to return to his dorm to quietly await the unlocking of the system's second function.
Suddenly, Ba Nantian's figure appeared before him.
“Hmm!?”
Li Ziyu frowned.
He looked gravely at the bald figure who had suddenly appeared before him, over two meters tall, with muscles like cast steel.
The other party merely stood there.
The surging vital energy emanating from him made him feel a suffocating sensation, as if he couldn't breathe.
This bald man in front of him was very strong!
He exerted even more pressure than when he faced Principal Left Hongyang!
At the very least, he was a Grandmaster of the Eighth Level!
And a top-tier Grandmaster at that!
Li Ziyu's expression was solemn.
“Hehe, Student Li Ziyu, don't be nervous, I mean no harm!”
“Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ba Nantian, currently the Dean of the Extreme Dao Academy at Modu Martial Arts University.”
“I am an Level 8 Senior Grandmaster!”
“I saw your performance in the arena just now.”
“Excellent! Truly excellent!!”
“To be able to defeat a Third-Level Peak Mental Power Master at your age, I have never seen such a thing in all my years!”
“Can you tell me what Battle Skill you just used?”
Ba Nantian stared intently at Li Ziyu.
Seeing that the other party meant no harm and had introduced himself, Li Ziyu's tense body relaxed.
Looking at Ba Nantian before him, a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes.
The suffocating sensation he had just felt from Ba Nantian must have been due to the opponent's overwhelming vital energy and the vast difference in their strengths, which caused this feeling.
It was like an ordinary person encountering an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex for the first time; the body would instinctively react.
However, after adapting to the pressure from Ba Nantian, a fighting spirit subtly surged within him.
He truly desired to possess the surging power that Ba Nantian exhibited!
“Great Sun Body Tempering Method.”
Li Ziyu's expression became calm as he replied.
“Great Sun Body Tempering Method, it is indeed this Ninth-level Technique.”
Ba Nantian nodded thoughtfully.
He had felt that the Body Tempering Method Li Ziyu used in the arena just now looked familiar.
It was indeed as he had guessed.
It was the Great Sun Body Tempering Method, which was extremely difficult to cultivate.
Li Ziyu's talent was truly extraordinary.
If he guessed correctly, Li Ziyu must have learned the Great Sun Body Tempering Method only after entering Modu Martial Arts University.
It had only been less than twenty days, right?
Yet, he had already achieved initial mastery of the Great Sun Body Tempering Method, a Ninth-level Technique.
His talent was truly monstrous!
When he himself learned a Body Tempering Method one level lower than the Great Sun Body Tempering Method, it took him a full six months to achieve initial mastery!
And Li Ziyu's mindset...
Facing him, a Level 8 top-tier Grandmaster, he not only showed no fear but even developed a fighting spirit?
This mental fortitude was even stronger than Lei Zhan's!
“Exceptional mental fortitude, coupled with monstrous martial arts talent.”
“Student Li Ziyu, you are simply born to be a student of my Extreme Dao Academy!”
“Come to my Extreme Dao Academy!”
“As long as you come, I will personally accept you as my closed-door disciple!”
“All my experience and efforts as a Grandmaster of the Eighth Level, Ba Nantian, will be open to you!”
“The Ninth-level Technique, Great Sun Body Tempering Method, becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate the further you progress.”
“But as long as you choose me as your mentor, I guarantee that within three years, your Great Sun Body Tempering Method will definitely advance to the Advanced stage!”
Ba Nantian could no longer suppress his admiration for talent.
His eyes gazed at Li Ziyu as if he were looking at a peerless treasure.
His gaze was fervent and intense, filled with irrepressible appreciation.
He felt his long-dormant desire to take on a disciple rekindle intensely!
Li Ziyu might just surpass all the disciples he had ever mentored!
He might forge a legend!
This was Ba Nantian's intuition!
As if realizing his face looked rather stern, Ba Nantian even tried hard to squeeze out a smile.
“Go to hell!”
“Ba Nantian! Li Ziyu was recruited into the school by me, Left Hongyang! If Li Ziyu is to apprentice, he will apprentice in my Weapons Academy!”
“Didn't you see that Li Ziyu's primary offensive method is the blade? What good would it do for him to join your Extreme Dao Academy?!”
Before Li Ziyu could answer, Left Hongyang also appeared before him.
He was fuming, glaring angrily at Ba Nantian, and immediately started yelling at him.
After scolding Ba Nantian, he turned to Li Ziyu, putting on a benevolent smile, and said:
“Student Li Ziyu, don't let this old bastard fool you.”
“You're familiar with the Mutual Aid Society, right? I'm telling you, this old fellow is the power behind the Mutual Aid Society.”
“He founded the Mutual Aid Society back in the day.”
“This old man is very cunning, don't ever be fooled by him.”
“Also, I saw you using a blade as your weapon. Haha, what a coincidence, I also use a blade.”
“It's perfect for you to apprentice under me.”
“My Knife Skill mastery is at the 'subtle' level. If you apprentice under me, it will definitely greatly improve your Knife Skill!”
Left Hongyang said with a smile.
“Hmph! Although Li Ziyu uses a blade, his Body Tempering Method is equally strong as his Knife Skill!”
“Furthermore, the Mutual Aid Society isn't entirely comprised of bullies like Nangong Hao who pick on the weak and dominate others!”
Ba Nantian snorted coldly, not to be outdone.
The two of them, disregarding the thousands of students watching, became red-faced and started arguing loudly.
“If Li Ziyu joins my Extreme Dao Academy, I will accept him as my closed-door disciple!”
“What good is a closed-door disciple?! I'll directly accept Li Ziyu as my godson!”
“...I have a daughter.”
“Your daughter is only twelve!”
“Damn it! Stop bickering and let's fight!”
...
The surrounding students watched in stunned silence as Left Hongyang and Ba Nantian, red-faced and neck-thick, argued like market vendors.
They all froze in place.
We need to pass assessments and tests just to apprentice under an ordinary mentor.
But for Li Ziyu, even the deans are fighting over him to take him as a disciple?
Lei Zhan also watched the two arguing in a daze.
“So, Dean Ba Nantian can actually smile???”
...
Li Ziyu stood on the stage, feeling a bit awkward as he watched Left Hongyang and Ba Nantian, who were at loggerheads and refused to yield.
He scratched his head and said apologetically:
“Uh... that... two Deans,”
“During my battle with Nangong Hao just now, I had some insights regarding my Battle Skill, and it seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough.”
“How about you two continue arguing here, and I'll go back to my dorm to break through first?”
Li Ziyu looked at the two, speaking hesitantly.
“What? A breakthrough?!”
Left Hongyang and Ba Nantian were stunned when they heard this.
Then, upon realizing what Li Ziyu had said, they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
“Good! Student Li Ziyu!”
“I truly didn't misjudge you!”
“Ordinary martial artists can't even break through once in several years, yet you can break through after just one battle. Your talent is indeed remarkable!”
Left Hongyang laughed heartily.
Ba Nantian also said with emotion:
“Go on, the breakthrough is important, don't mind us.”
“West District, Building Four, that's my villa.”
“You can come to me for guidance anytime you have time.”
...
