The Qingjiang Wang Family?

The staff member at the registration desk changed expression the moment she saw Wang Tianyu's information.

Originally, she had projected the cold image of someone handling official business—stern and rigid.

But now, she put away her indifference and replaced it with a bright smile.

"Hello, student Wang Tianyu. You are a specially recruited student, so you do not need to pay tuition or miscellaneous fees."

After saying that, the staff member quickly began processing Wang Tianyu's enrollment procedures.

"I know. Thank you!"

Sichuan First Martial University had not originally been Wang Tianyu's first choice.

The most fundamental reason Wang Tianyu had applied to Sichuan First Martial University was that it offered special recruitment terms.

"Alright, your information has been entered. This is your dormitory key. Your dorm is in Zone One, specifically Room 11."

"Also, at nine o'clock the morning after tomorrow, you need to gather at the orientation field. The orientation field is located..."

As she handed over the key, the staff member also explained several things Wang Tianyu needed to keep in mind.

"Thank you!"

Taking the key from the staff member, Wang Tianyu politely expressed his gratitude.

"Your tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived, and you're even staying in Zone One. Your benefits are making me green with envy."

Zhou Jing wore a thoroughly serious expression as she said this, not looking as though she were joking in the slightest.

The tuition and miscellaneous fees were not a small sum. After all, martial universities were not charitable institutions.

The school likewise needed funding for its daily operations and maintenance.

Not everyone in a martial university was a martial artist. A martial artist's most important task was cultivating the martial path.

Many ordinary people were needed to handle the school's other miscellaneous affairs.

"Chefs, cleaners, gardeners, and so on..."

The staff member who had just handled Wang Tianyu's enrollment was also an ordinary person.

These people served the school, and the school had to pay them accordingly.

In truth, having his tuition and miscellaneous fees waived was not such a big deal.

What Zhou Jing envied most was Wang Tianyu's Zone One dormitory.

"Is there something special about the Zone One dormitories?"

If he did not understand something, he asked. Wang Tianyu was not embarrassed in the least.

"Zone One is the best dormitory area in the school. Calling it a dormitory area is actually a little inaccurate."

"Zone One is filled with rows of standalone courtyards, complete with studies, bedrooms, training rooms, and everything else."

"Everyone in Zone One gets their own courtyard. Calling them standalone little villas would not be an exaggeration."

After saying this, Zhou Jing continued, "Also, the room numbers in Zone One have their own significance. There are four Zone One dormitory areas in total, one for each year from freshmen to seniors.

"The one you're moving into now is the freshmen's Zone One dormitory area. Each year's Zone One area only has twenty rooms, and these twenty rooms are basically occupied by the top twenty students in that year's strength rankings."

"Your Room 11 is assigned based on a very simple ranking method for freshmen: martial arts exam results."

"In other words, junior, your martial arts exam result ranked eleventh among this year's freshmen."

Zhou Jing spoke at length in one breath, all of it about the Zone One dormitory area.

"Eleventh?"

Hearing Zhou Jing's explanation, Wang Tianyu's heart could not remain calm.

Sichuan First Martial University's reputation could only be considered second-tier.

The top tier consisted of the three martial universities in the capital, Magic City, and National Defense.

Yet even at Sichuan First Martial University, Wang Tianyu's martial arts exam score had only ranked eleventh. Ten people ahead of him had scored better.

"Come on, junior. I'll take you to your dorm."

After leaving the registration point, Zhou Jing led Wang Tianyu toward the Zone One dormitory area.

"This is Zone One. Junior, you can go in by yourself. I won't accompany you inside."

Zhou Jing brought Wang Tianyu to the entrance of the Zone One dormitories, then signaled for him to enter on his own.

"Senior, let me treat you to a meal. You've gone to so much trouble for me today."

Wang Tianyu did not mean anything else by inviting Zhou Jing to dinner.

He simply felt that Zhou Jing had helped him quite a bit today.

So, Wang Tianyu wanted to treat Zhou Jing to a meal to show his appreciation.

"Next time. I still need to guide other new students—I have a task to carry out."

Zhou Jing smiled at Wang Tianyu and declined his dinner invitation.

"Alright then, Senior. Go ahead and get busy."

Seeing that Zhou Jing still had duties to attend to, Wang Tianyu did not insist.

After exchanging contact information, Zhou Jing turned and left.

After bidding Zhou Jing farewell, Wang Tianyu strolled into the Zone One dormitory area.

Zone One was indeed just as Zhou Jing had described it.

Standalone little courtyards stood in orderly rows throughout the area.

Following the path from the entrance, Wang Tianyu found his own Room 11.

The dormitory door was quite high-end. As soon as Wang Tianyu inserted the key, a mechanical synthesized voice sounded.

"New student moving in. Key authorization verified. Upgrading new permissions. Please register fingerprint..."

After the mechanical voice fell silent, a fingerprint scanner lit up beneath the door handle.

This was nothing new. Following the light's instructions, Wang Tianyu registered his fingerprint.

"Fingerprint registration complete..."

Once his fingerprint had been registered, the key in Wang Tianyu's hand became optional.

From then on, Wang Tianyu could enter his dormitory through fingerprint recognition.

Upon entering the dormitory, Wang Tianyu felt even more how thoughtful the school was.

The entire room had been cleaned spotlessly, and even basic daily necessities had been prepared.

"Toothpaste, toothbrushes, toiletries..."

The dormitory had all these things ready.

There were many reasons Wang Tianyu had come to register a day early.

One of them was to give himself time to prepare the necessary daily necessities.

Wang Tianyu did not want to haul bags and bundles of belongings all the way from home.

He had only brought a small backpack. Aside from a few changes of clothes, it contained some small items Wang Tianyu had prepared.

But now that the school had prepared everything, Wang Tianyu no longer needed to buy any daily necessities.

The bed sheets and quilt cover in the bedroom were all provided as well. Judging by their condition, they were brand-new.

Even the bathroom had slippers, towels, and the like.

After taking a look around the room, Wang Tianyu left the dormitory.

He wanted to go see the other parts of the school.

After all, having just arrived in a new environment, Wang Tianyu naturally wanted to familiarize himself with it properly.

Just as Wang Tianyu walked out of his room, a boy also emerged from Room 12 beside his.

The boy was about the same height as Wang Tianyu. He had a fashionable hairstyle and looked thoroughly sunny and cheerful.

Upon seeing Wang Tianyu, the boy took the initiative to greet him.

"Are you the new student in Room 11?"

After saying that, the boy walked toward Wang Tianyu.

He moved quickly, crossing several steps to reach Wang Tianyu's side.

"Yes."

Wang Tianyu nodded and answered the boy's question.

"Hello, my name is Yang Guangqing. I'm the new student in Room 12. Nice to meet you."

Yang Guangqing smiled warmly as he spoke and extended his right hand.

"Hello, my name is Wang Tianyu."

Upon hearing Wang Tianyu's answer, Yang Guangqing immediately asked,

"Wang Tianyu, from the Wang family? The Wang family of Songjiang? Or that Wang family in the south?"

In Yang Guangqing's impression, among martial artist families with the surname Wang, only those two families from Songjiang and the south were particularly famous.

Yang Guangqing assumed Wang Tianyu was a descendant of one of those two families.

There was good basis for Yang Guangqing's guess.

Once a powerful martial artist emerged in a family, their descendants would find it easier to embark on the path of martial artists as well.

After years of development, the ranks of martial artist families had grown increasingly vast.

With guidance from their elders, descendants of these martial artist families were much more outstanding than ordinary people, stronger than ordinary people in every respect.

Yang Guangqing himself came from a martial artist family.

Yang Guangqing had ranked twelfth at Sichuan First Martial University in this martial arts exam.

In Yang Guangqing's opinion, since Wang Tianyu could rank eleventh,

then Wang Tianyu must have come from a martial artist family as well.

"No, I'm from Qingjiang City."

Wang Tianyu had no intention of fabricating his identity. He directly denied both origins Yang Guangqing had named.

"Isn't Qingjiang a very small city? I remember there aren't any powerful martial artist families there, are there?"

Yang Guangqing looked at Wang Tianyu with a strange expression. In his impression, Qingjiang City was a very backward place.

There were only a handful of martial artists there, let alone any powerful martial artist families.
