Background

United University is a northern pillar institution supported since Great Chu’s founding. Its faculty and institutional foundations are described as formidable, and it maintains branch campuses across the country; the Mount Li branch in Yong'an was completed only a few years before Meng Chuan considered applying. 21

The university is particularly renowned for its graduate conversion rate: approximately ninety percent of its graduates become Martial Artists. Its reputation makes admission a major avenue of social advancement for students from poor families. 21 82

The main campus occupies a quarter of Fengtian City on the expanded grounds of the former Fengtian Marshal’s Residence. It serves as a northern center for martial arts resources and talent and as a pillar in resisting the demonic path and Heavenly Demons. 342

The university’s eighty-eighth anniversary is celebrated citywide in Fengtian, where it is known as the city’s “Guardian Deity.” 405

Campuses and Administration

Main Campus

The Fengtian main campus is substantially larger than the Yong'an branch. Its Grandmaster Pavilion contains residences for twenty-six Martial Arts Grandmasters, each reflecting its resident’s Will of Martial Arts. 342 411

The university has six major administrative departments:

• School Administration Office
• Academic Affairs Office
• Research and Innovation Office
• Finance and Science Office
• Human Resources Office
• Security Office

Each department is overseen by a powerful martial arts expert among the six honored figures of the main campus. 410

Yong'an Campus

The Yong'an Campus is located deep within Mount Li. It was established recently and has a weaker historical foundation and talent pool than the main campus, though it remains the dominant martial arts institution in northern regions outside the coastal south. 160 197 304

• Yang Huan — Five Limits Venerable and principal of the Yong'an Campus; formerly a professor at the main campus and eldest disciple of Sui Chunqiu. 149
• Sui Chunqiu — Principal of United University and organizational leader for Meng Chuan’s direct-admission document. 271 411
• Chen Qiushui — Grandmaster Class counselor and person in charge of the Yong'an Campus Grandmaster Class. 305 310
• Li Zhenyue — Five Elements Grand Supreme, boxing professor, and one of the honored leaders supervising the university’s administrative offices. 410 411

Education System

Grandmaster Class

The Grandmaster Class is United University’s flagship program. Across the Yong'an Campus, its combined student population has never exceeded thirty, compared with more than two thousand ordinary students. 306

Cohort	Composition
Pre-Martial Artist cohort	Young martial arts geniuses who have yet to break through the First Great Limit. 305
Martial Artist cohort	Students who have advanced from the first cohort and broken through the First Great Limit; admission is limited to those under thirty-five. 305

Grandmaster Class students receive distinctive bright-red access cards with golden flame patterns. These cards provide privileges beyond ordinary student access, including exemption from manual-borrowing fees in the Martial Repository Pavilion. 307 318

The university admitted only Meng Chuan, Meng Jiaolong, and Xu Qingfeng to the Yong'an Campus Grandmaster Class in their intake year. 308

Credits and Resource Allocation

Credits govern nearly every aspect of student life, from medicinal supplies to True Martial Divine Skills. A single credit has purchasing power greater than ten thousand yuan. 305

Monthly Ranking	Credit Reward
First place	150 credits
Second place	100 credits
Third place onward	20 credits each

The ranking system was introduced as part of a Grandmaster Class resource-allocation reform, rewarding strength rather than equal distribution. 305 310

Students must earn credits through performance and missions; the university restricts higher-realm students from taking lower-level missions to prevent credit farming. 452

Assessment and Retention

Elite martial arts universities conduct assessments every two years. Students who fail to meet the required standards graduate immediately without a retest, while those who continue meeting standards may remain enrolled without a fixed four-year graduation limit. 307

After becoming Martial Artists, students generally lose ordinary student status and must support themselves through university work or further cultivation. Those who break through the Second Great Limit may become university teachers. 378

Facilities

• True Dragon Hall — The Grandmaster Class’s core teaching facility. Its two floors cover roughly 5,000 square meters, with a martial arts hall and functional areas below and specialized arenas above. 309
• Grandmaster Class villa district — Residences for Grandmaster Class students and instructors above the Second Great Limit; villas include large yards suitable for martial arts practice. 308
• Martial Arts Training Ground — Advanced training equipment and spaces available to students, including high-tech punching posts. 159 160
• Martial Repository Pavilion — Houses martial arts manuals and resources purchasable with credits; Grandmaster Class access cards waive certain borrowing costs. 318 452
• Dan Chamber — Provides cultivation pills such as Qiao Jia Spirit Pills in exchange for credits. 450
• Five Elements Fist Research Lab — A pentagonal silver-gray laboratory at the main campus, dedicated to Five Elements Fist research. 427
• Online Martial Repository Pavilion — An internal-test online version available in advance to teachers and Grandmaster Class students. 702

Martial Zenith Legacy

The Martial Zenith Legacy is United University’s title for the publicly recognized senior disciple of a generation. It is awarded to the strongest student among the main campus and all branch campuses, selected from nearly ten thousand new students. 197

The title is based on supreme talent and orthodox inheritance, with physique, comprehension, and exceptional traits all considered. It represents the university’s foremost reserve of future potential. 197

As United University’s Martial Zenith Legacy, Meng Chuan became the institution’s chief student and received special resource support, including school-funded instruction in divine arts from appropriate campus experts. 452

Duties and Public Service

Martial Artist students are expected to defend the nation and protect civilians. The university may summon them to Demon Nest operations once per year, provided the mission does not exceed their realm’s upper limit. 378

• Resources acquired beyond the mission objective belong to participating students, who may keep, sell, or exchange them for credits. 378
• Students may refuse summonses, but three consecutive refusals result in compulsory deployment; continued refusal causes expulsion from both the Grandmaster Class and United University. 378
• During the Chencang demon disaster, United University mobilized students alongside nearby martial universities, dividing forces into rescue teams, Demon Nest guards, and free-acting martial artists. 386 387
• The university’s missions are designed to temper students through real combat; outside intervention can void mission rewards. 320

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Grandmaster Class Enrollment — Meng Chuan formally entered the Yong'an Campus, received Grandmaster Class privileges, and competed under the newly reformed credit-ranking system. 307 310
• Chencang Demon Calamity — United University dispatched students to exterminate Heavenly Demons and assist in the emergency response; its students later returned safely after the operation. 387 394 396
• Martial Zenith Legacy — Meng Chuan won the Martial Zenith Legacy title and became United University’s chief, gaining access to expanded institutional support and resources. 452
