Cang Yulong's expression was solemn.

"There's no concrete definition of what an ancient weapon actually is."

"However, the biggest difference between ancient weapons and modern weapons forged from Asma Alloy is that the former requires a master, and often comes with some special attributes."

"Your saber hasn't been mastered yet. Try dripping a drop of your blood on it."

Li Ziyu was stunned at first.

Drip blood?

But he didn't hesitate much. Cang Yulong was a Level 6 Martial Artist; he wouldn't joke with him.

With that thought, Li Ziyu took out his knife and cut his hand, dripping a drop of blood onto the saber.

As the blood dripped onto the saber, a strange thing happened.

The saber flashed with a red light, and then the rust that had covered it for who knows how long began to peel off rapidly, weathering away.

In less than a moment, it transformed into a saber that was scarlet all over, its surface shimmering with an eerie red glow.

Under the lamplight, the saber reflected sharp, red rays.

Even from a distance, Li Ziyu could feel a biting sharpness emanating from it.

Besides the sharpness, Li Ziyu also felt a sense of exhilaration from the saber.

It was as if the battle saber were alive.

"What a saber!"

Chen Mingyuan, sitting nearby, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Although he didn't use a saber, he had a good eye.

He could tell at a glance that the saber Li Ziyu held was extraordinary, far surpassing ordinary Level 3 weapons.

Li Ziyu was also inwardly delighted and couldn't help but step forward to grasp the hilt.

The moment he gripped the hilt, an unparalleled aura of sharpness emanated from him, causing Cang Yulong and the other person's gazes to involuntarily turn serious.

Actually, as he killed more mutated beasts, the saber's body had been constantly changing. Li Ziyu had wondered if the saber needed to absorb blood or something similar.

However, he hadn't considered the idea of blood-binding.

Furthermore, because his strength was too great, he hadn't bled during the process of killing mutated beasts.

So, he had never discovered the secret of this battle saber.

"A good horse needs a good saddle. Fellow student Li Ziyu, your weapon was likely sealed before."

"Now that it's been unlocked by you, its power is probably much greater than before."

"With such a powerful weapon, the Level 3 Asma Alloy weapon I gave you really doesn't amount to much."

"How about this, I'll give you a Level 3 saber Battle Skill."

Cang Yulong said with emotion.

He then took out a Battle Skill manual he had prepared earlier and handed it to Li Ziyu.

The characters "Thunderclap Slash" were written on it in a bold, flowing script.

Li Ziyu thanked Cang Yulong and accepted the Battle Skill, not refusing his good intentions.

He understood Cang Yulong's motive clearly; seeing his potential, he wanted to build a good relationship early.

It was like in his previous life, when relatives would give gifts when a child got into college and held a celebration banquet.

He could understand it and didn't find it objectionable.

Moreover, he did need an offensive Battle Skill at the moment.

"Fellow student Li Ziyu, have you decided on a school yet?"

"If you're open to it, you could consider Jiangnan Martial Arts University,"

Cang Yulong said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Jiangnan Martial Arts University was his alma mater.

Since he was already here, even though the chance was slim, he didn't mind inviting Li Ziyu to his alma mater.

Knock, knock, knock.

Just as Li Ziyu was about to answer, there was another series of knocks on the door.

Accompanying the knocks was a hearty voice:

"Fellow student Li Ziyu, Jiangnan Martial Arts University is not suitable for you. If you're going to transfer, it should be to our Magic City University of Abilities."

The door opened automatically before Li Ziyu could step forward to open it.

Following that, four people whose imposing presence was no weaker than Cang Yulong's entered.

Leading the four was a burly, imposing man with a mane of red hair like a lion's.

The strong man had a broad face and bright eyes. The moment he entered, he stared intently at Li Ziyu.

"Come to our Magic City Martial Arts University! Our Magic City Martial Arts University is the most suitable stage for you!"

On the sofa, Cang Yulong, who had been drinking tea, was slightly surprised to see who had arrived.

The person who arrived was an old acquaintance of his, the Dean of the Armaments Department at Magic City Martial Arts University, Zuo Hongyang.

He was also a Level 6 Martial Artist.

In the past, the two had fought side-by-side against demonic beasts in the army and were long-time rivals.

Zuo Hongyang's strength was not inferior to his.

It was just that the two chose different paths later. He chose to become Governor, while Zuo Hongyang chose to become a Dean at Magic City Martial Arts University.

And the three people following behind him were all principals from the four major universities.

The middle-aged woman behind Zuo Hongyang was the Dean of the Spirit College at Capital City Martial Arts University.

The third person, a refined man wearing glasses, was the Principal of Canglan Martial Arts University.

The last one was the Principal of Shenpan Martial Arts University.

As far as he knew, each of these three individuals was a Level 6 Martial Artist with strength not inferior to his own.

Cang Yulong shared the information he knew with Li Ziyu and then stood up.

"Student Li Ziyu, since the admissions teachers from the four major universities are here, I won't bother you any further."

"No matter which university you choose, just be true to yourself."

"Also, if you encounter any trouble outside, don't hold back. Don't forget, you come from our Su Province!"

"Okay! Thank you, Governor Cang!"

Li Ziyu nodded, remembering this favor.

After seeing Cang Yulong leave, Zuo Hongyang looked at Li Ziyu and said:

"Student Li Ziyu, come to our Magic City Martial Arts University!"

"If you come to our Magic City Martial Arts University, we will provide you with a scholarship of five million Great Xia Coins and a complete set of Battle Skills for offense, defense, and speed."

"Not only that, but any other requests you have, just name them!"

Zuo Hongyang said with a sincere expression. After speaking, he thought for a moment and continued, "I've seen your information. You often appear in the wilderness hunting demonic beasts."

"You must have felt the demonic beasts' mental interference, right? As long as you come to our Magic City Martial Arts University, you can pick any Meditation Method!!"

"Our Magic City Martial Arts University has Meditation Methods from Level 1 to Level 9!"

After Zuo Hongyang finished speaking, the admissions teacher from Capital City University also looked at Li Ziyu with burning eyes and stated their recruitment conditions:

"Our Capital City University is the same! Whatever Magic City Martial Arts University can offer, we can offer too!"

The Capital City University teacher also said with a sincere expression:

"Student Li Ziyu, our Capital City Martial Arts University is currently the number one ranked Martial Arts University in Great Xia. Throughout the Youth Martial Arts University League history, our Capital City Martial Arts University has always been first."

"The rankings in the Youth Martial Arts University League not only represent the teaching quality of the universities but also, to some extent, determine the resource allocation for each school."

"Magic City Martial Arts University is ranked last in the Youth Martial Arts University League, while our Capital City Martial Arts University is first."

"Who is stronger and who is weaker, student, you should understand!"

"Go to hell! Your Capital City Martial Arts University has only been number one in recent years, not always! Our Magic City Martial Arts University has also been number one before!"

Before the Capital City University teacher could speak again, Zuo Hongyang interrupted her, his beard bristling. He rolled up his sleeves and glared at the Capital City University teacher:

"Your students are strong, but that doesn't mean your teachers are strong! Do you want to spar with me?!"

"Hmph! Zuo Hongyang! Do you think I'm afraid of you!?"

"Spar then! Come on! Who's afraid of whom!"

The Capital City University teacher's eyebrows shot up, and she glared at Zuo Hongyang without any fear. As she spoke, red light emanated from both her hands.

The moment the red light appeared, Li Ziyu's heart began to pound, feeling a sense of dread. It was clear that the power was not small.

"It seems like we can't settle this properly today! In that case, let's go with the old rules!"

"Alright, old rules. Whoever wins gets to recruit Li Ziyu!"

The other two principals also stepped forward, looking unconvinced.

Before Li Ziyu could even speak, his vision blurred, and the four people in the living room disappeared.

Then, from the sky, the sound of thunder began to rumble.

"..."

"Why aren't you asking for my opinion??"

Li Ziyu stood in the living room, his hair disheveled. He was the person in charge of recruitment, yet he felt like an observer.

"Never mind. Anyway, I have the system, so it doesn't really matter which university I go to."

"As long as they provide sufficient resources."
