90: Chapter 88: Iwatianhe

Although it was night, the Student Manor was brightly lit. Following Heng Qiu through the corridor, Fang Yu quickly arrived in front of a pavilion that did not cover a very large area.

"Bai Yu, Wei Mo, aren't you guys coming out to welcome us?" Heng Qiu shouted loudly before she had even reached the doorway.

Swoosh! Swoosh! After phantoms flashed past, two figures, a man and a woman, had already appeared at the entrance of the pavilion.

The woman wore a ponytail, stood a little over 1.7 meters tall, and wore a white martial arts uniform. Her skin was very fair, and her facial features could not be considered exceptionally pretty, but her figure was well-proportioned. Even while wearing clothes, obvious muscle lines could be seen, and her temperament was excellent.

As for the other person, he wore an ink-jade-colored martial arts uniform and was quite tall, definitely much taller than Fang Yu. However, his entire person was extremely robust and well-built, with sharp facial features. Confidence overflowed between his brows as he also looked at Fang Yu with a smile.

Merely from the temperament and expressions of the two...

Fang Yu could already tell that both of their strengths were very strong.

"Hello, Senior. My name is Bai Yu," the woman in the white martial arts uniform said with a smile.

"Senior Fang Yu, my name is Wei Mo," the other tall youth also took the initiative to speak, appearing very enthusiastic. "From now on, I hope you will give me much guidance."

"Senior?" Fang Yu was slightly stunned.

"Bai Yu is a sophomore, Wei Mo is a junior, and you are a senior. Naturally, you should be called Senior," Heng Qiu explained with a smile. "Right here, you are ranked by age, not purely by strength."

Fang Yu suddenly understood.

"Senior, come inside with us first," Bai Yu said with a smile. "Seniors Yu Guizhou and Yan Tianheng are already waiting inside."

"Fang Yu."

"This is your gathering. You guys chat; I won't go in," Heng Qiu smiled and said. "I'll head over to No. 5 Courtyard where you'll be staying first to recheck all the equipment and rooms to ensure everything is correct. Send me a message after dinner."

On the way here, both parties had already added each other's contact information.

"Alright," Fang Yu nodded.

Inside the pavilion, there were still several staff members and some humanoid robots busy working, while Bai Yu and Wei Mo led Fang Yu to the main hall.

"Today's main character has arrived," Bai Yu walked in front and said with a chuckle.

"Hello, Fang Yu. I am Yu Guizhou," the youth took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand. If Wei Mo was already very tall, then Yu Guizhou was like a little giant, with a height that definitely exceeded two meters.

—

Moreover, he was extremely handsome—not the delicate, effeminate kind of beauty, but a masculine, rugged sort of handsome.

One could say...

Among all the real people Fang Yu had seen since growing up, very few were as handsome as him. Powerful Martial Artists usually had a very good temperament due to practicing martial arts year-round, but appearance had no direct relationship with martial prowess.

"Hello, Senior," Fang Yu took the initiative to extend his hand.

Just now, Bai Yu had already revealed that Yu Guizhou and Yan Tianheng were both fifth-year students.

Immediately afterward, Fang Yu's gaze fell upon the last person. His height was not considered tall among Martial Artists, estimated to be around 1.75 meters, but his temperament was extremely unique.

His eyes were very bright.

Standing there, his entire person felt like a long spear, incomparably sharp, giving people the feeling that he could pierce through the vast sky at any moment—

Bai Yu, Wei Mo, and Yu Guizhou all possessed quite extraordinary temperaments, but when Fang Yu noticed Yan Tianheng, he almost subconsciously ignored the other three.

"Fang Yu, welcome to join us," Yan Tianheng's voice was magnetic as he smiled and said, "Haha, being able to soar all the way from a college to become an Earth Contract student in a short span of two months, you definitely have very special aspects worthy of us learning from."

"A college?"

"You transferred from a junior college to a bachelor's program?" Bai Yu, Wei Mo, and Yu Guizhou were all slightly surprised. This couldn't be blamed on them; the notice they received only stated that there was a new member named "Fang Yu" who was a fourth-year student.

Moreover...

Subconsciously, it was impossible for them to associate Fang Yu with a "junior college student".

But clearly, Yan Tianheng had understood this in advance.

"Senior flatters me," Fang Yu smiled and said. "Ever since I entered the school, whether on the campus network or in daily communication, almost everything I heard were Senior's name and deeds."

"Some undeserved reputations," Yan Tianheng said very calmly.

"Alright, everyone has arrived. Let's eat and chat."

The food was very exquisite, but the five of them did not eat much. As Martial Artists still in their rapid growth period, they primarily relied on Cultivate to absorb Star Power to supplement their bodies' needs.

Food and water were only auxiliary.

And they would exceptionally control their diet.

Through conversation and exchange, Fang Yu also gained a preliminary understanding of the few people in the Student Manor. As the youngest junior sister, Bai Yu—

possessed the liveliest and most bouncing personality.

Wei Mo seemed much more honest and was very polite.

Yu Guizhou was reticent and did not speak much.

Yan Tianheng's speech and conversation gave Fang Yu a feeling of being "forthright", like an older brother who could unknowingly inspire a sense of trust during communication.

"Speaking of which..."

"Since the founding of the school, even if you are not the first Sky-Touring Contract student who transferred from a junior college to a bachelor's program, it is probably extremely rare," Yan Tianheng smiled and said. "At least I haven't heard of it before."

"Indeed!"

"I always heard before that gold will shine wherever it is placed—but this is the first time I've seen a martial arts college student as bright as Senior," Bai Yu smiled and said. "Senior, how did you end up in a college?"

Everyone also looked curiously at Fang Yu.

"I only awakened my Star Phase a short while ago," Fang Yu smiled and said.

Only then did everyone suddenly understand. During the college entrance examination, how many martial arts students were eliminated just because they hadn't awakened their Star Phase, resulting in failing to enter an undergraduate program?

"What level of Star Phase?" Yan Tianheng pressed on.

"Intermediate Astral Constellation, Red-Scaled Snake," Fang Yu didn't intend to hide it either. This information was basically public, and if the other party wanted to check, it would be a very easy matter.

"That being the case, your skill talent is very high," Yan Tianheng immediately realized. "Have you stepped into Inner Scenery?"

"Inner Scenery?"

"Senior Fang Yu's skill is at the Inner Scenery level?" Both Bai Yu and Wei Mo couldn't help putting down their bowls and chopsticks, staring curiously at Fang Yu.

"Mm, Inner Scenery," Fang Yu nodded.

"Amazing!" Bai Yu couldn't help saying, "My physical skill is only at Micro-consummation, and I still have to figure out a way to reach weapon Micro-Realm, and then reach the limit of Micro-Realm. I don't even know if I can step into Inner Scenery by my senior year."

"I have only mastered one Micro-realm Secret Technique," Wei Mo also said honestly.

Fang Yu, however, was secretly shocked in his heart.

Listening to it, Bai Yu's skill seemed ordinary, but you had to know she was only 19 years old! To be able to reach Micro-consummation at this age was already quite inconceivable. When he himself was 19 and had just entered his sophomore year, his life level was only tier 11, and his skill hadn't even reached Minor Achievement in the micro Realm.

As for Wei Mo, it was equally exaggerated—at only 20 years old, he could already master a Micro-realm Secret Technique?

Fang Yu also understood why they could obtain the Sky-Touring Contract—from previous conversations, Fang Yu also roughly knew that except for Yan Tianheng, the rest of them had all awakened Intermediate Astral Constellation, but their skill talents were extremely exaggerated.

Like Bai Yu and Wei Mo, back during the college entrance examination, they both could have tested into the "Crescent Top Ten", but in the end they were heavily invited by Huguang Martial Arts University to join.

Here, they were the head of a chicken, receiving the best cultivation, and growing extremely fast.

"Very good!"

"Among our Huguang Martial Arts University students, besides Yu Guizhou and me, there is finally another person whose skill has stepped into the Inner Scenery Realm," Yan Tianheng revealed a smile. "Fang Yu, although you are only a fourth-year student, since your skill is so brilliant, you must work hard and strive to get a main competition quota from the fifth-year students."

"Main competition quota?" Fang Yu was puzzled.

What main competition? He completely didn't know.

"Senior."

"Every December, the Blue Moon High School Martial Arts Competition is held. It is a grand event for hundreds of martial arts universities across the entire civilization, and every school will send students to participate," Bai Yu explained.

Fang Yu's heart stirred.

Blue Moon High School Martial Arts Competition? Back in college, he had vaguely heard of this competition, but didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, Wuling City Martial Arts College didn't even have the qualifications to participate, so what use was paying attention to it?

Moreover...

Fang Yu couldn't help recalling the fifth extra reward of the Sky-Touring Contract. If one could break into the "Peak Battle" in the Blue Moon High School Martial Arts Competition, the prize money would be a full 200 million Star Coins.

This was sufficient to show the difficulty.

"This competition will first have preliminary selections within the school," Bai Yu smiled and said. "Only by selecting the ten strongest students can they represent their respective school to go to New Moon and participate in the main competition."

"The main competition is held in New Moon?" Fang Yu asked curiously.

"Large-scale activities similar to this are basically all held in New Moon," Bai Yu said. "On New Moon, various novice protection measures are more complete, and casualties are less likely to occur."

Fang Yu nodded slightly.

Since it was a competition, and both participating parties were elites from various universities, naturally they had to avoid casualties as much as possible, stopping at the limit.

"What about the Peak Battle?" Fang Yu asked curiously. "What difference does it have from the main competition?"

"Senior has lofty aspirations, asking about the Peak Battle right off the bat," Bai Yu said with a chuckle.

"The main competition, coupled with the massive participation of students from Crescent Martial Arts University and the Crescent Top Ten, usually results in a final number of participants reaching over ten thousand," Yan Tianheng said indifferently. "Only by breaking out of the siege in the main competition and becoming the final top 64 are you qualified to be called the final 'Peak Battle'."

"Top 64?" Fang Yu was secretly startled.

This represented one of the 64 strongest students of all universities across the entire civilization. It truly had the qualification to be called the Peak Battle—but the difficulty was definitely extremely high.

One must know that even Huguang Martial Arts University could have several Sky-Touring Contract students.

Those key universities and the Star-Moon Top Ten would only have even deeper foundations.

"This year is the last time Yu Guizhou and I are participating, and we will definitely fight desperately to surge forward," Yan Tianheng smiled and said. "My goal is to charge into the Peak Battle."

"Fang Yu, Bai Yu and Wei Mo both have good talents, but they are both relatively young. Therefore, after we graduate, it will be your turn to lead the team next year."

"Therefore, I hope you can participate in the main competition this year to experience the atmosphere in advance," Yan Tianheng said.

"I'll do my best," Fang Yu said.

The main competition? That meant fighting into the top ten in Huguang Martial Arts University this year—for the current Fang Yu, wanting to achieve this was extremely difficult. After all, among the fifth-year students, there were still dozens of Earth Contract Martial Artists.

Their talents might not be as good as the Sky-Touring Contract students.

But a longer Cultivate time could greatly make up for the gap in talent.

"Alright."

"The meal is almost finished," Yan Tianheng said directly. "Taking advantage of everyone being here today, and with actual combat just ending, let's gather and conduct an actual combat test so as to re-enter it into the System."

"In addition, we can just see if you slacked off during the holiday."

"Alright."

"That works too, refreshing the base score on the rankings," everyone agreed, and Fang Yu was no exception.

"Let's go, to the actual combat building," Yan Tianheng's voice carried a hint of a smile as he directly stood up and walked outward.
