Two Visitors Arrive

The next day, May 11th.

Lu Hao was preparing to head to the Detective Bureau to continue his missions when Bai Qiuyao told him that the two great universities had arrived. He hadn't expected them to start recruiting before the college entrance exams had even taken place.

Lu Hao pondered this, unaware that he had already become a celebrity in the admissions offices of every university.

With his bones tempered three times and his vitality reaching as high as 292, if it weren't for the fact that the ordinary universities knew their place, there would be more than just the two great universities showing up today.

So, Lu Hao waited at home. Bai Qiuyao had said both universities would arrive today and had already reached out to her in advance.

Bai Qiuyao knew that Lu Hao's goal was Magic Martial University, but she didn't give a definitive answer, instead letting the two universities provide the maximum resources within their power.

Lu Hao himself was certainly going to Magic Martial University, as it would be the center of the coming storm. However, this didn't stop him from doing as his mother suggested: holding out for a better price. Letting the two universities compete now would allow them to offer better terms.

Seeing that the representatives from the two universities hadn't arrived yet, Lu Hao walked into the training room and began practicing his blade techniques. After more than ten days of practice, combined with his already solid foundation, Lu Hao was on the verge of mastering his trump card.

If he kept practicing like this for another ten days or half a month, Lu Hao would be able to fully master the trump card without relying on the stacking effect of the Blood Battle Mad Blade to unleash it. By then, every strike would contain over 50 calories of vitality, and an average peak Rank 1 martial artist would be killed in a single blow.

An hour later, at the entrance of Lu Hao's home.

Li Hansong, who was just about to enter, ran into Zhang Yu. He had already arrived quite early, having set off from the capital the moment he received the news, but unfortunately, Magic Martial University was closer.

However, since they had met here, they would just have to compete fairly.

"Li Hansong, why are you here too?"

"Hmph, need you ask? Once we got news of a genius like Lu Hao, we naturally came."

"Then you're going to return empty-handed this time. Lu Hao is from Magic City, and his older brother was once a student at our Magic Martial University. So, no matter how you look at it, Lu Hao will join us."

Zhang Yu chuckled at the mention of this; his advantage was simply too great.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true. After all, his brother sacrificed himself not long ago. Whether he still wants to go to your Magic Martial University is another matter."

"Hmph, then let's rely on our own merits and see who he chooses in the end."

At the mention of this, Zhang Yu felt a fair amount of concern. After all, Lu Hao's older brother had died at Magic Martial University, which might cause Lu Hao to have some resentment toward the school.

With that, the two stopped arguing and knocked on the door.

Lu Hao, who was in the middle of training, heard the knocking. It seemed the people from the two universities had arrived.

After wiping the sweat from his body, Lu Hao went to open the door.

Upon opening it, he saw two men and two women. Judging by their positioning, it seemed each university had sent one man and one woman.

Lu Hao brought them into his home to discuss matters. He hadn't expected the two universities to arrive together; he had originally planned to look at the terms from Capital Martial University first and then use them to drive up the offer from Magic Martial University.

"Student Lu, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Yu, and I am the president of the Martial Arts Club at Magic City Martial Arts University. I am currently at the peak of Rank 3. I sincerely invite you to join our Magic City Martial Arts University. These are the terms we are offering; you can take a look first."

Lu Hao sized up the young man speaking. He didn't look much older than Lu Hao himself. So this was Zhang Yu? The Zhang Yu who was held back by the Martial Arts Club.

He remembered that in the future, Zhang Yu would be ousted from his position as president by Fang Ping. If it weren't for the distraction of the club, he might have already reached Rank 4 instead of remaining at the peak of Rank 3.

Zhou Yan, standing beside him, handed a document to Lu Hao. Before he could even look at it, Li Hansong, standing to the side, introduced himself impatiently.

"Student Lu, we are from Capital Martial University. My name is Li Hansong, and I am the president of the Capital Martial University Martial Arts Club. I am currently at the mid-stage of Rank 4. You should also consider our terms. After all, Capital Martial University is the number one martial arts university in the Hua Nation, with abundant teaching resources. These are our terms."

Ling Yiyi, standing beside him, handed over a document.

Lu Hao held the two documents. Instead of rushing to read them, he sized up Li Hansong. As the reincarnation of one of the four extreme Heavenly Emperors, he would later become a "simple-minded" person after spending time with Fang Ping.

Why didn't he look that stupid now? It seemed the problem was Fang Ping.

Putting aside his curiosity, Lu Hao first opened the document from Magic Martial University. Although it was only a few lines, the resources it represented were quite substantial.

1. A reward of 1,000 credits upon enrollment.

2. The ability to freely choose one mentor as a teacher.

3. All items in the school can be exchanged at 70% of their cost.

4. Access to the mentor-exclusive training room and the Pressure Chamber.

One credit from the two great universities was equivalent to 30,000 yuan in the outside world, so 1,000 credits was 30 million. As for the other conditions, none were less valuable than the first. Added together, these terms were likely worth hundreds of millions.

He took a glance at the terms from Capital Martial University, and they were roughly the same. It seemed the offers from the two universities were quite similar.

"Student Lu, come to Magic Martial University. Your brother was a student of ours, and coming here will allow you to see the path your brother once walked."

"Hmph, why go to Magic Martial University? Student Lu, come to our Capital Martial University, and you will be the next president of the Martial Arts Club. I believe that under our cultivation, you can reach Rank 5 by graduation, and perhaps even enter Rank 6."

Seeing that Lu Hao had finished reading the terms, Zhang Yu and Li Hansong began to lobby for their respective schools.

"Besides, we at Capital Martial University have always been number one, while they have always been the eternal second. I believe you wouldn't be content to be beneath others, right?"

Who said Li Hansong was simple-minded? He was quite clever, even using a provocation tactic.

"Hmph, I have read your file, Student Lu. It shows you have already carried out missions for the Detective Bureau, which means you have a fighting spirit. Don't you want to see the enemies your brother once faced? You might even be able to avenge him."

Seeing Li Hansong use the university rankings to his advantage, Zhang Yu naturally couldn't refute it, as it was a recognized fact. So, he took a different approach, trying to entice Lu Hao in this way.

Li Hansong, seeing Zhang Yu using this as a talking point, became a bit anxious. After all, in his eyes, he had already pegged Lu Hao as the next president of the Martial Arts Club.

"Student Lu, since you have a fighting spirit and a sharp mind, you know that you can't rely on hot-bloodedness alone. Capital Martial University is far stronger than Magic Martial University. Just look at the strength of our club presidents: he, Zhang Yu, is still at the peak of Rank 3, while I have already reached the mid-stage of Rank 4. Doesn't that prove something?"

Watching Zhang Yu and Li Hansong on the verge of a fight, Lu Hao pulled them both back. Since he couldn't use them to drive up the price any further, he might as well make a clean and decisive choice.

Lu Hao picked up the offer from Capital Martial University.

Li Hansong felt much happier when he saw Lu Hao pick up the document from Capital Martial University, but he couldn't keep smiling the next moment.

"President Li, I'm sorry, but I still intend to go and see the path my brother walked."

"It's fine. Even if the deal doesn't go through, we can still be friends. In the future, we are all contributing to the Hua Nation."

After some further exchange, Li Hansong left with Ling Yiyi.
