Enrollment (Third Update—Seeking Recommendation Votes and Bookmarks!)

Wang Tianyu's two-week vacation had been a fulfilling one.

Settling into his new home, endorsing a martial hall, and hosting his graduation banquet had packed Wang Tianyu's vacation full.

In the end, Wang Tianyu resisted the temptation and did not sign a teaching contract with Yang Martial Hall.

He had not been dazzled by the extra one million in advertising fees.

With Wang Tianyu's strength, teaching the most basic Basic Cultivation Method would not have been a problem in the slightest.

Wang Tianyu also knew that Yang Martial Hall had signed him on more as a publicity tactic.

They had not expected Wang Tianyu to train any outstanding students.

Rather, they hoped to use gimmicks such as a top scorer instructor and top scorer training classes for promotion.

But Wang Tianyu still did not agree rashly. He had some concerns of his own.

He knew nothing at all about the situation inside martial universities.

He still did not know about the teaching schedules, vacation periods, and such matters at martial universities.

So, to be safe, Wang Tianyu did not sign a teaching contract with Yang Weidong. He only chose the basic advertising contract.

Even though Wang Tianyu had chosen a simple cooperation contract.

The one million advertising fee from Might-Praising Martial Hall had not come easily either.

Originally, Wang Tianyu had thought the advertising shoot could be finished in a single day.

But under the direction of a professional filming crew, Wang Tianyu spent an entire week before completing all the filming work.

Compared to the hassle of Might-Praising Martial Hall, the city government's five hundred thousand scholarship was much easier for Wang Tianyu to collect.

He only had to cooperate with the relevant officials for a few photographs, then read from a script that had long been prepared.

In less than half a day, Wang Tianyu had received the scholarship from the city government.

By today, Wang Tianyu's vacation had basically come to an end.

Tomorrow was the day new students enrolled at Sichuan First Martial University. Since the school was quite far away, Wang Tianyu planned to reach it today.

Sichuan First Martial University was located in the provincial capital of Sichuan Province, several hundred kilometers from Qingjiang City, where Wang Tianyu lived.

After breakfast with his family, Wang Tianyu prepared to leave.

Father Wang and Mother Wang had originally wanted to accompany Wang Tianyu to the provincial capital to register, but Wang Tianyu declined their kind intentions.

"Bye, Brother!"

Wang Mengmeng stood at the door, waving her little hand. Since Wang Tianyu had promised to come back and see her whenever he had time, the little girl did not look too sad.

"Bye!"

After turning back to bid his parents and younger sister farewell, Wang Tianyu embarked on a new journey.

"Tianyu, how is it? Is the new villa comfortable?"

The speaker was Chen Yongguo. The moment Wang Tianyu stepped out of the villa, he ran into him.

Chen Yongguo and Wang Tianyu had agreed to set off together. Since he had to pass by Wang Tianyu's place on the way to the station.

Chen Yongguo had waited for Wang Tianyu at the entrance.

Chen Yongguo's martial examination results had been quite ordinary, and he had not reached the admission cutoff for Sichuan First Martial University.

Chen Yongguo had applied to Dragon Soaring Military Academy. The admission score for military academies was relatively lower, and Chen Yongguo's score fully met its enrollment requirements.

Besides, Chen Yongguo himself had always dreamed of becoming a soldier. In Chen Yongguo's words, "If a man doesn't join the army, he'll regret it for the rest of his life!"

Thus, military academy had become Chen Yongguo's first choice.

"Pretty comfortable. Didn't you get a house too? Yours must be pretty nice as well, right?"

The state treated martial artists very generously. All one hundred candidates who passed the martial examination had been assigned a home free of charge.

Of course, the house assigned to Chen Yongguo could not possibly compare to Wang Tianyu's villa.

Other than Wang Tianyu, the remaining ninety-nine people had all been awarded ordinary apartments in high-rise residential complexes.

Though they were not villas, the locations, surroundings, and all other aspects of those homes were quite good.

"I'm already very satisfied. The house they gave me is spacious, much bigger than my family's old place."

Chen Yongguo was not greedy. He knew the gap between himself and Wang Tianyu.

Wang Tianyu had been assigned a villa because he was the strongest.

Not everyone was qualified to claim the title of top scorer in the martial examination.

Yet the state seemed to value only the strongest one.

As the martial examination's top scorer, Wang Tianyu had received a villa and a five hundred thousand scholarship.

Compared to the treatment Wang Tianyu received as first place, the second- and third-place finishers in the martial examination could not compare at all.

Chen Yongguo had learned that aside from Wang Tianyu, the other ninety-nine martial examination candidates had all received the same kind of house. The only difference was the floor they lived on.

The second- and third-place finishers were no exception. They too only received one apartment, without so much as a trace of scholarship money.

Chen Yongguo was simple-hearted. He was not the kind of person who would envy a friend.

For Wang Tianyu's achievements, Chen Yongguo felt only admiration and blessings.

"You'll become a martial artist soon enough. Won't buying a villa be easy then?"

"That's true. But you'll definitely become a martial artist before me. You said you'd look after me—I've remembered that all along."

"I remember. What's our relationship?"

Wang Tianyu and Chen Yongguo chatted as they walked, soon arriving at the train station.

Dragon Soaring Military Academy was not within Sichuan Province, but it was not far from Qingjiang City either—only several hundred kilometers away.

So both Wang Tianyu and Chen Yongguo chose to travel by train.

Sichuan First Martial University and Dragon Soaring Military Academy happened to lie in opposite directions.

Thus, Wang Tianyu and Chen Yongguo parted ways here, each heading for his own school.

"I'm off, then. Once I become a martial artist, I'll come find you to hang out."

Chen Yongguo's train departed earlier. After saying that, he prepared to enter the station.

"Mm, come over soon. I'll treat you to a feast then."

Wang Tianyu smiled and patted Chen Yongguo on the shoulder.

Not long after Chen Yongguo left, Wang Tianyu also boarded the train bound for the provincial capital.

The train's environment was excellent. Since it was a long journey, Wang Tianyu even went to the dining car to get something to eat.

Several hours later, the train Wang Tianyu was riding began to slow down.

After leaving the train station, Wang Tianyu had originally planned to make his own way to Sichuan First Martial University.

He had already looked up the route online, but his preparations proved unnecessary.

The martial universities had considered new student enrollment very thoroughly, setting up welcome stations at the train station.

There were four welcome stations in front of Wang Tianyu, marked respectively for Sichuan First Martial University through Sichuan Fourth Martial University.

The welcome stations were not large. A sun umbrella and a small table made up their entire setup.

Even the school names were hung from the sun umbrellas.

As though they had discussed it beforehand, the welcome stations for all four schools looked identical.

With the welcome stations here, Wang Tianyu naturally did not need to figure out how to get to the school himself.

Carrying his luggage, Wang Tianyu walked over to the table for Sichuan First Martial University.

"Hello, student. You're a new student at Sichuan First Martial University, right?"

Seeing Wang Tianyu approach, the girl at the welcome station hurriedly stood up.

Wang Tianyu looked very young, and together with the luggage in his hand, it basically confirmed his identity for her.

"Yes."

The girl at the welcome station was very pretty. Her tall figure and delicate features made even Wang Tianyu unable to resist taking a second look.

"Xiaojing, there's a newcomer. Take this junior to the school."

The girl at the welcome station smiled at Wang Tianyu, then turned toward another girl resting beneath the sun umbrella.

"Another one? It's my turn, right?"

The girl under the umbrella had short hair. She was not tall, roughly a head shorter than Wang Tianyu.

The short-haired girl briskly stood up and walked over to Wang Tianyu.

"Hello, Junior. My name is Zhou Jing."

As she spoke, the short-haired girl extended her right hand.

"Hello, Senior. My name is Wang Tianyu."

Wang Tianyu smiled and shook Zhou Jing's hand.

"Come with me. I'll take you to the school."

Zhou Jing did not wait for any more new students and directly beckoned Wang Tianyu to follow her.

Zhou Jing drove herself and had Wang Tianyu sit in the passenger seat.

"Junior, where did you come from?"

Zhou Jing had an outgoing personality and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Wang Tianyu.

"My home is in Qingjiang City. What about you, Senior?"

Since there was nothing else to do, Wang Tianyu began chatting with Zhou Jing.

"Qingjiang City? I know that place. I'm from Liulin City."

Zhou Jing was very talkative. After answering Wang Tianyu's question, she continued by asking him another one.

"Junior, what score did you get on the martial examination?"

"Five hundred points. Why?"

Hearing Wang Tianyu's answer, Zhou Jing turned her head, disbelief written all over her face.

"Five hundred points?"

"Mm."

Wang Tianyu nodded, confirming Zhou Jing's second inquiry.

"Amazing! Amazing! Junior, you're really incredible. I only scored a little over two hundred back then. You're so much better than me."
