Three Major Divisions

Along the way, Wang Tianyu and Zhou Jing chatted about many things.

But the two of them were just shooting the breeze about everything under the sun, without discussing anything meaningful at all.

"We're here. This is the main gate of Sichuan First Martial University. Pretty imposing, isn't it?"

After roughly an hour's drive, Wang Tianyu arrived at the entrance of Sichuan First Martial University under Zhou Jing's guidance.

Looking at the magnificent, grand school gate before him, Wang Tianyu nodded unconsciously.

The gate of Sichuan First Martial University was enormous. The entire entrance could not exactly be called ornate or elegant.

What it gave Wang Tianyu was more of a vast and majestic feeling.

Above the gate, dozens of meters wide, the words "Sichuan First Martial Arts University" had been carved into its upper section.

Each character was nearly the size of a car. The special carving technique gave those words an extraordinary charm.

More than a dozen human-shaped statues stood on either side of the gate. Their craftsmanship was equally exceptional, with every detail rendered perfectly.

The statues stood roughly five meters tall, each holding a different kind of weapon.

"These statues are...?"

Looking at the most eye-catching structures at the entrance, Wang Tianyu asked curiously.

The statues looked lifelike, their facial expressions all clearly visible.

"Indifference, majesty, serenity, rage..."

Wang Tianyu could make out the emotions reflected by the statues. One could only imagine how superb the sculptor's skill had been.

"These people were all powerful figures who came from Sichuan First Martial University. They were absolute elites among martial artists, and they made tremendous contributions to the stability of human society."

When she said this, Zhou Jing's tone was extremely solemn. It was clear that she deeply respected these powerful figures.

Although Wang Tianyu did not fully understand what Zhou Jing meant, he still gave the statues a respectful gaze.

The strong deserved the respect of others!

"Let's go. I'll take you to register first."

Zhou Jing led Wang Tianyu into the school.

Zhou Jing did not drive into the campus. After parking her car in the nearby lot, she took Wang Tianyu on foot to look around the school.

As soon as they entered the campus, a broad highway appeared before Wang Tianyu.

It was a ten-lane road with traffic going both ways, and a wide pedestrian path beside it.

The road stretched deep into the campus, and Wang Tianyu could not see where it ended.

A great many flowers and green plants had been planted along both sides of the road.

A sea of multicolored flowers, parks shaded by lush green trees—the scenery on campus was not the least bit inferior to famous tourist attractions.

"This road is the school's main transportation artery. There are many side roads branching off from it as well. The school is simply too big. I usually drive around; if you walked, you couldn't finish seeing it all in a day."

Zhou Jing smiled, then continued, "The registration office for you freshmen isn't far away. We can walk there, and I'll introduce the school to you along the way."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior."

Wang Tianyu understood Zhou Jing's kindness, so he expressed his thanks to her.

Following Zhou Jing down the main road, Wang Tianyu observed the surroundings of the school.

On the left side of the road stood rows of teaching buildings, while the right side held patches of landscaped greenery and sports fields.

"This is the teaching area for the Combat Division. This is their Number One Teaching Building, while Number Two Teaching Building is beside it. Over there is the school's Number One Sports Field. Major events are usually held there."

Zhou Jing pointed at the landmark buildings around them and introduced them to Wang Tianyu one by one.

"The Combat Division? Does the school have many divisions?"

Wang Tianyu looked at Zhou Jing. His understanding of martial universities was extremely limited.

Now that he happened to have a "guide" beside him, Wang Tianyu began asking about the things he did not know.

"Not that many. Sichuan First Martial University has three major divisions in total."

Zhou Jing had no intention of hiding anything. This was common knowledge to begin with.

Even if she did not tell him, teachers would introduce these things later.

"The three major divisions are the Combat Division, the Elixir Manufacturing Division, and the Equipment Forging Division."

Before Wang Tianyu could say anything else, Zhou Jing took the initiative and named the three divisions.

Upon hearing the names of the three divisions, Wang Tianyu roughly guessed their differences.

Combat Division: it should primarily teach combat ability and improve martial artists' practical fighting methods.

The Elixir Manufacturing Division and Equipment Forging Division should both count as logistics-related divisions. Their fields of study should be vastly different.

"The three major divisions have different focuses. Students in the Combat Division focus on combat ability, and their main coursework is how to improve their fighting ability."

"Meanwhile, students in the Elixir Manufacturing and Equipment Forging Divisions mainly study technical skills. Making better elixirs and forging better equipment are the directions of their study and research."

"Elixirs can heal injuries, and they can also speed up a martial artist's cultivation. Good equipment can likewise greatly enhance a martial artist's strength. So students from the Elixir Manufacturing and Equipment Forging Divisions are in high demand."

Sure enough, Zhou Jing's explanation confirmed Wang Tianyu's guess.

"Tomorrow, the school will assign you to divisions. Which division do you want to join, Junior?"

Zhou Jing looked at Wang Tianyu curiously. She wanted to know which division interested him.

"The Combat Division."

Wang Tianyu gave his answer without much thought.

He was not particularly interested in the two logistics divisions.

In Wang Tianyu's eyes, a martial artist should place strength above all else.

Although elixirs and equipment were important too, the students in those two divisions were technical talents.

What those divisions taught was not what Wang Tianyu wanted to learn.

"That figures. Talented students like you usually choose the Combat Division, but..."

Wang Tianyu's choice did not surprise Zhou Jing.

When Zhou Jing thought of the atmosphere in the Combat Division, she could not help but shudder.

"A genius like you will definitely go very far."

Zhou Jing had originally wanted to tell Wang Tianyu more about the specific situation in the Combat Division, but after thinking it over, she did not say anything.

Zhou Jing's words came out of nowhere, and Wang Tianyu did not understand what she meant at all.

"This way is the freshman registration office. Let's register first."

Six registration stations had been set up. Zhou Jing led Wang Tianyu to the one with the fewest people.

A male student was currently standing in line ahead of Wang Tianyu, and he also had someone like Zhou Jing accompanying him.

However, the boy did not seem very lucky. His guide was also a man.

As the saying went, like poles repel. The guide did not look pleased with the boy at all.

The staff worked quickly, and before long, the boy ahead of Wang Tianyu had completed his enrollment procedures.

"Go straight ahead for eight hundred meters and you'll see your dormitory. There are signs along the way, so just follow them."

Once the guide saw that the boy had finished his enrollment procedures, his expression improved somewhat.

"I've guided two people already, and they've both been guys. Why hasn't a single pretty junior sister shown up?"

Wang Tianyu had excellent hearing. He heard the boy's guide mutter that complaint loud and clear.

"Xie Hong, what nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and take him to the dormitory, or I'll report you to Teacher Zhang."

Zhou Jing clearly knew this not-so-proper boy. She shouted at Xie Hong furiously.

"No, no, I'll take him over right away. Young Miss Zhou, please don't scare me. It wasn't easy getting such a relaxing assignment."

Xie Hong did not know whether he feared Zhou Jing herself or Teacher Zhang, whom Zhou Jing had mentioned.

In any case, after saying that, Xie Hong immediately obediently led the boy toward the dormitories.

"Come on, Junior. Follow me. I'll take you to the dormitory."

Xie Hong's attitude had changed so completely that he even took a bag of luggage from the boy.

"Junior, ignore him. Register first."

Seeing Xie Hong obediently take the boy toward the dormitory, Zhou Jing called Wang Tianyu over to begin his enrollment procedures.

"You're a freshman, right? Give me your ID card."

Martial universities did not issue acceptance letters.

As long as a student met the school's admission requirements, once they registered on the official website, the school would enter their information into its system.

If their grades and records were correct, the official website would immediately give an admission result.

There was naturally no problem with Wang Tianyu's grades, and he had registered online long ago.

The staff member swiped Wang Tianyu's ID card through a device, and all of Wang Tianyu's information appeared.
