College Entrance Examination The noise and glory came like a tide and then gradually receded.
For Xu Wuyi, the title of Provincial Top Scholar is a footnote to past efforts, but it is not the end.
At the award ceremony, the city's commendation meeting, and the endless interview invitations, he followed Principal Zhang's advice, recommending what he could, and keeping it simple.
Another day passed, and when the early morning sunlight poured into the room through the window, Xu Wuyi had already completed the basic breathing.
He put on his old martial arts uniform that had been washed white, and walked towards Honghe No. 1 High School's campus just like he had done hundreds of mornings in the past.
Although he has graduated, his request to borrow the school's training room was approved by the school without hesitation.
Being able to provide a temporary training place for Provincial Top Scholar is a much-coveted honor for Honghe No. 1 High School, and it is also an invisible publicity.
The familiar training room, the rubber floor showing slight signs of wear, and the air filled with vitality made Xu Wuyi feel at ease.
He abandoned distracting thoughts and his consciousness sank into Sea of Consciousness.
[Martial Dao Diligence Record] unfolds silently, and the scale of <Hundred Refinements Furnace> is clearly visible.
He took a deep breath and started practicing <Basic Body Tempering Method>, with standard movements and immersed in it.
His college career is about to begin, and he plans to break through <Hundred Refinements Furnace> to the Entry Level level and make Life Energy Level a step further before officially enrolling.
Sweat quickly soaked the back, and the muscles stretched in a familiar rhythm, and Blood and Qi rushed and flowed accordingly.
This kind of training day after day can bring about the most solid strength growth.
The end of College Entrance Examination just means the end of a journey, and a broader road to martial arts has just begun in front of him.
In the afternoon, there was a gentle knock on the alloy door of the training room.
Xu Wuyi stood up, breathing calmly, and looked towards the door.
Zhang Qiming The principal stood there with a gentle smile on his face.
"Principal." Xu Wuyi nodded in greeting.
--
Zhang Qiming walked in and closed the door, blocking out the noise outside.
He didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "As long as you don't delay your cultivation, I'm here today because I have something to tell you."
He paused and organized his words: "Lin Family is here and the message was delivered through an intermediary."
Xu Wuyi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak, quietly waiting for the next sentence.
Principal Zhang's tone was calm, as if he was stating an ordinary thing. "The posture is very low, and the words are full of beautiful words. Congratulations on winning Provincial Top Scholar, and praise you as the hope of the future of Dongjiang Province martial arts."
"Inside and outside the words, it's still the same rhetoric." Principal Zhang continued, "It means that Lin Family appreciates your potential and knows that you come from an ordinary background. The further you go in the martial arts path, the more resources you will need."
"Lin Family is willing to provide help like a friend and support you all the way until you become a Xiantian martial artist. There is no upper limit on resources."
Zhang Qiming looked at Xu Wuyi: "No different, I know you have a bad opinion of the Lin Family. But as your principal, I must analyze it from the perspective that is most beneficial to you."
His tone became solemn. "Martial Artist stage and Martial Apprentice are completely different concepts."
"Martial Apprentice polishes his body and condenses Blood and Qi, which can be supported by hard work and basic resources. But once he becomes an official Martial Artist, Blood and Qi is released to practice more advanced martial arts, which requires a huge amount of resources."
"The high-end Body Tempering Method follow-up medicated bath recipe contains many medicinal materials that are priced but not available in the market; there are also rare and exotic fruits to assist in passing the level, including high-level martial arts secrets that suit you--which one is not a sky-high price?"
Zhang Qiming sighed, with the emotion of someone who has experienced it. "Just relying on the basic subsidy provided by Federation and the scholarship from the university can at most ensure that you will not fall behind. If you want to improve quickly, it will be difficult to reach the sky."
"Many geniuses who come from civilian backgrounds are stuck in the resource barrier and eventually disappear from the public.
Xu Wuyi After listening to Zhang Qiming's words, he thought for a while and said, "Principal, are the resources required for me to practice all the way to Xiantian martial arts master considered too much for the Lin Family?"
Zhang Qiming was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it. Xiantian martial arts masters are different from others. They need a lot of top-level resources, which money can't buy."
Xu Wuyi pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Qiming: "Principal, I understand what you said. However, regarding resource acquisition, Chu Shanhe gave me a suggestion after the game."
"Chu Shanhe?" Zhang Qiming was slightly surprised.
"Yeah." Xu Wuyi repeated what Chu Shanhe said at that time.
Especially about not easily accepting funding from forces outside the school to avoid being branded as a faction, and participating in "Federal Youth Martial Arts Tournament" as early as possible to gain school points through competition results and exchange them for rare resources.
Zhang Qiming After listening, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Although he is a senior educator, he does not have a deep understanding of the resource allocation rules within top universities such as "Three Great Universities".
After all, such rules may change every year and are not disclosed to the public, only known within the school.
"Youth Martial Dao Tournament----school points----" he murmured to himself, his eyes gradually brightening, "Wait a minute, let me confirm."
After he finished speaking, he took out the communicator, walked to the corner of the training room, and dialed the numbers of several old friends one after another. They all worked at the top Wuhan University or were related to them.
Xu Wuyi did not interrupt and continued his practice.
About half an hour later, Zhang Qiming came back with a hint of excitement and surprise on his face.
"Confirmed!" He affirmed, "What Chu Shanhe said is true! Now inside Three Great Universities, we really value Federal Youth Martial Arts Tournament very much and regard it as an important platform for testing students' quality and training results."
"The rewards of the competition, especially those for junior freshmen, are very generous!"
"Not only honors and bonuses, the school will also allocate a large amount of additional points. These points can indeed be directly exchanged for many rare resources that cannot be bought with money from the outside world."
"Including but not limited to access to high-level martial arts, the number of master instruction classes, the use time of special training sites, and----those valuable and marketable rare training items!"
The more Zhang Qiming talked, the more excited he became. "Moreover, redeeming with school points is much cleaner than accepting external funding, and will not involve complicated power relations. What a Chu Shanhe, he is worthy of being from a noble family, and he has already planned it!"
He looked at Xu Wuyi, his eyes changed. "If this road can be opened, it will indeed be better than accepting Lin Family's gift!"
"However, you must also think clearly that the premise of all this is that you can achieve good results in Youth Martial Dao Tournament."
"Otherwise, we will fall behind step by step, step by step. No matter how involved the outside world is, our own strength will come first."
Xu Wuyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
All interests are on the table again.
On the one hand, there are huge resources that are easily available, but may cause trouble; on the other hand, relying on one's own strength to fight for school points is cleaner but more challenging.
Xu Wuyi remained silent, his eyes scanning the training room and the equipment that accompanied him through countless hard trainings.
He thought of the sentence on [Martial Dao Diligence Record], only your sweat will never deceive you.
He raised his head and his eyes returned to their usual firmness. "Principal, I have decided to refuse Lin Family's funding.
