History

Tianhuang is one of Xia Country’s three premier martial arts universities alongside Diyuan and Renxuan. It is regarded as the country’s undisputed number-one martial arts university, both for its faculty strength and its institutional power. Unlike ordinary universities, the Three Great Universities conduct a joint independent-enrollment assessment beginning one hundred days before the college entrance examination. 62 64

Jiang Fu applied specifically to Tianhuang during the joint assessment. His extraordinary score accumulation placed such strain on the university’s resources that Tianhuang attempted to end his examination early by recovering his Mystic Mirror; Diyuan and Renxuan refused to authorize an exam-system termination. 64 118

During and after the assessment, Tianhuang incurred severe expenses attempting to manage Jiang Fu’s rewards and research demands. Its leadership considered mortgaging the university to the Authorities for two hundred billion Contribution Points, using the school as collateral. 155 506

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu exploited a vulnerability in the Authorities’ Contribution Points Mall. Shi Jiu’s hacking success was amplified by Jiang Fu’s Multiply by Ten ability, and the pair accidentally purchased Tianhuang for one credit after it appeared in the mall as collateral. 507

The Ministry of Education subsequently confirmed that Tianhuang belonged entirely to Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu. Former principal Shi Yuehan was demoted to captain of the security team, while Xia Fan later received the principal’s seal and an appointment letter signed by Long Qiancheng. 545 590

Campus

Tianhuang’s campus lies in the endless Wilderness Area and stretches for hundreds of miles, nearly dividing the Wilderness Area in two. Its location also makes it a major defensive line against the northern chaotic region. 503

Tianhuang Bluestone

A nearly hundred-meter bluestone bearing the characters “Tianhuang” stands outside the south gate. The university exists because of this stone. 503

• The bluestone exerts an unexplained mental pressure that affects even Transcendents and Saints. 503
• Passing through its range is the first trial for incoming students; historically, fewer than one in ten entrants could endure the pressure and enter the gates. 503
• All 3,700 members of one incoming class were forced to crawl toward the gate under the Tianhuang Stele’s pressure. 709
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu crossed its range without apparent discomfort. 503

Wind Feather Laboratory

• Wind Feather Laboratory was relocated to Tianhuang and rebuilt as a seven-story pavilion using a Void Fortress valued at one hundred billion Contribution Points. 514
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu control admission of researchers into the laboratory and use it for Realm Beast research. 545
• The Torrent Crocodile, a Realm Beast King, was displayed for students to study after Jiang Fu destroyed nearby buildings while leaving Wind Feather Laboratory intact. 545

Spirit Fruit Grove

A Third-Tier Spirit Fruit Grove is open for Tianhuang students to freely enter, cultivate, and study within. Third-Tier Spirit Fruit Trees are described as the highest-tier Spiritual Fruit humanity can possess. 644

Lingyue Pavilion Laboratory

• The Lingyue Pavilion Laboratory was established through Lingyue Pavilion’s funding, technology, and personnel, with Tianhuang providing resources and staff. 526
• It had operated for twenty years and ranked fourth among Tianhuang’s sixty-three laboratories. 526
• Though placed on the campus outskirts, its growth made it Tianhuang’s second core area. 526

Admissions and Education

Tianhuang’s independent enrollment is conducted jointly with Diyuan and Renxuan. Examinees hunt Mutated Beasts in the Wilderness Area; kills are recorded as assessment points through their Martial Artist Badges and the examination system. 62 64

The university is highly selective and primarily admits top geniuses from human survival cities. Its students are expected to defeat Mutated Beasts above their own grade, while even entrants with merely adequate aptitude are said to undergo drastic improvement after enrollment. 88 524

Tianhuang rarely accepts Expansion Students, taking only around a dozen annually and only from areas with strong student pools. This limited revenue later contributed to its financial difficulties during Jiang Fu’s examination. 119 155

Faculty and Research

Realm Beast Research

Tianhuang joined Diyuan and Renxuan in taking over research into Realm Beast weaknesses first proposed by Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu. The three universities publicly announced breakthrough progress at Ruihang Center. 218

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu are recognized as Realm Beast experts after developing the Realm Beast Detector and identifying the previously unknown concept of a Realm Beast’s fatal weakness. 545

Spirit-Devouring Fruit Tree

Spirit-Devouring is a tenth-tier Spirit Fruit Tree formally certified as a teacher by the Xia Country Authorities and appointed by Tianhuang. Students provided videos showing the tree teaching and nurturing them within its fruit grove. 717

Spirit Plant Leadership

Tianhuang’s administration includes exceptionally high-tier spirit plants:

• Moonheart Bamboo — a twelfth-tier spirit plant and vice principal. 721
• Abyss Mother Tree — fielded by Xia Fan in a principal-level inter-university match, causing alarm among major factions worldwide. 722

Relationships

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu — Legal owners of the university; they acquired it through the Authorities’ Contribution Points Mall and direct its research priorities. 507 545
• Xia Fan — Principal appointed after Jiang Fu publicly announced his selection; he manages the university’s public-facing leadership. 583 590
• Shi Yuehan — Former principal and current security captain; his administration’s financial crisis enabled the university’s mortgage and eventual purchase. 506 545
• Diyuan Martial Arts University and Renxuan Martial Arts University — Fellow members of the Three Great Universities; jointly administer independent enrollment and collaborate on Realm Beast research. 62 118 218
• Divine Wilderness Martial Arts University — Rival institution that challenged Tianhuang to an inter-university battle, with the losing school required to change its name. 705 706

Major Arcs

Jiang Fu’s Enrollment Examination

Tianhuang sought to recruit Jiang Fu after his examination score reached an unsustainable level. The university attempted to terminate his assessment early and reclaim his Mystic Mirror to limit further resource losses. 118

Acquisition and Internal Purge

After Tianhuang was mortgaged to the Authorities, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu purchased it for one credit through a system vulnerability. They then moved to expel the Sikong Clan and consolidate control over the university’s laboratories and resources. 507 516 526

Divine Wilderness School Battle

Divine Wilderness Martial Arts University challenged Tianhuang to a three-part school battle covering students, teachers, and principals. Tianhuang accepted with a no-fatalities condition and seven days of preparation. 705 706

• Student match — Jiang Fu defeated one hundred Divine Wilderness challengers, including Celestial Realm opponents and users of high-grade Sequence Items. 712 716
• Teacher match — Spirit-Devouring, Tianhuang’s tenth-tier teacher, defeated Divine Wilderness’s Saint Ascension teachers. 717 722
• Principal matches — Tianhuang fielded Moonheart Bamboo and the Abyss Mother Tree, shocking spectators and opposing factions. 721 722
• The competition ended with Divine Wilderness’s forces defeated and its renaming subjected to a public vote. 723 725 728

Trivia

• Tianhuang has existed for nearly a century. 709
• The university’s name is considered a powerful reputation marker; Qi Shenghui’s association with Tianhuang alone helped attract martial artists to Wude Martial Arts Hall. 185
• During the Divine Wilderness conflict, students and observers repeatedly nicknamed the rival institution the “University of Social Idlers.” 709 715
