Xinhuo University

Biodata

Background

Xinhuo University presents itself as the continuation of humanity's torch: a place where disciples are forged to defend civilization rather than sheltered in comfort. Its principal describes the institution as “a furnace to sharpen blades” and an “anvil to refine steel,” built to create the future guardians of humanity's Star Gates. 137

Although it bears the modern title of a university, Xinhuo University operates as an ancient martial sect with inherited traditions, strict peak affiliations, and methods passed down over countless years. Its architecture, ceremonies, and cultivation system retain this ancient character. 118 137

The university is regarded as the highest martial arts institution on Blue Star. Entry is a global aspiration for martial artists, while graduation ultimately leads disciples toward frontline service against the Demon Race. 47 115 137

Admission and Training

Entrance Assessment

Xinhuo University's annual recruitment process selects exceptional young geniuses through assessments of strength, mental fortitude, spiritual perception, combat ability, and comprehension. The top two hundred candidates in the final combined rankings gain admission. 120 126

Cultivation Requirements

Every disciple must choose at least a High Grade Gods and Devils Method, with a one-month period granted to study the available inheritances before committing to a path. 137

Xinhuo University has no fixed academic term. Instead, disciples face mandatory cultivation standards:

• A disciple must reach the Flying Star Rank within ten years of enrollment through a High Grade or Supreme Grade Gods and Devils Method, or be expelled. 137
• After reaching Flying Star Rank and cultivating a Gods and Devils Body, a disciple must meet their peak's internal standards before being permitted to descend the mountain and guard a Star Gate. 137
• Graduating disciples are expected to serve at fortress cities and Star Gate frontlines, where Demon Race assaults are a constant threat. 147 163
