Setting Off for Huaying!

Limit Break Fourth Turn!

Chen Yu's eyes widened slightly. He had not expected Lao Fang to have such a past.

Never underestimate Limit Break Fourth Turn. On Crimson Radiance Star, or even on today's New Moon, there was probably not one such person in several centuries.

One could only imagine how terrifying Fang Xiong's talent had been back then.

"Tsk, no wonder I was able to copy a purple blade technique talent from Lao Fang. His Martial Dao Bone talent is at least Purple Quality."

Chen Yu suddenly became a little curious about Fang Xiong's past.

But since the other man did not bring it up himself, Chen Yu could not be bothered to ask. Just as Fang Xiong had never asked why he had suddenly undergone Aperture Opening.

That was the unspoken understanding between them.

"Limit Break Fourth Turn... Don't worry, Teacher. If there's no hope, I naturally won't stubbornly push myself." Chen Yu nodded, showing that he understood Fang Xiong's good intentions.

"It was only a few reminders. Your martial path is yours to decide." Fang Xiong smiled and said no more.

That was all that needed to be said.

With everything prepared, Chen Yu finally set off for Huaying Martial University.

However, he was not traveling alone. Zhao Tianyi and Hao Xi were also students of Huaying Martial University, so the three traveled together.

"After eighteen years of hard work, I've finally become a student at one of the Three Elite Universities!" Zhao Tianyi could not hide his excitement along the way.

Getting into one of the Three Elite Universities meant an immeasurable future and limitless prospects.

How could Zhao Tianyi not be thrilled to achieve this as a Biohuman?

Hao Xi, on the other hand, was not as excited as Zhao Tianyi, though she was clearly in an excellent mood.

"The Three Elite Universities are only somewhat famous on Crimson Radiance Star. Their greatest purpose is actually to provide a route to New Moon."

"And it's the route with the broadest range of possibilities."

At the mention of New Moon, a ripple passed through Chen Yu's eyes. He asked softly, "I heard that only those admitted to the Three Elite Universities have the best chance of going to New Moon. Why is that?"

His greatest goal now was to participate in Humanity's Battle of Myriad Stars.

But that goal was too distant. His immediate goal was to reach New Moon, where he could formally come into contact with the many civilizations of the stars.

Only then could he gain more opportunities, encounter more geniuses, and fight for more resources.

If he could not leave Crimson Radiance Star, his martial path would eventually hit a dead end.

Hearing Chen Yu's question, Hao Xi was not surprised. She explained, "New Moon was built on the surface of the moon, and its technology and martial standards far surpass those of Crimson Radiance Star."

"But New Moon's ecosystem is fixed and can only support a population of around thirty million, so slots are extremely precious."

"Every year, during the Martial University Exchange Tournament, New Moon's factions select a portion of martial geniuses according to the rankings, taking them in as reserves to expand their own forces."

"And those slots basically only appear among the Three Elite Universities."

The Martial University Exchange Tournament.

It was a martial competition jointly held by the thirty-six Martial Universities of Crimson Radiance Star, gathering martial geniuses from across the entire planet.

Chen Yu knew that much already.

"I see. Since New Moon can only accommodate a limited population, the Martial University Exchange Tournament is the way to obtain a New Moon slot."

Of course, there was an easier way than the Martial University Exchange Tournament.

That was being born well.

For example, Luo Ming did not need any New Moon slot at all. If he wanted to go to New Moon, he could simply go.

But Chen Yu was content enough.

All his luck had already gone into the System Panel, so he did not dare hope to have been born into a good family as well.

Zhao Tianyi laughed. "Chen Yu, the Martial University Exchange Tournament is basically competed over by fourth-year seniors. We shouldn't even think about it."

"But with your talent, by the time you reach your fourth year, you'll probably become one of Huaying Martial University's top experts. Going to New Moon will be a sure thing."

"And I'm not bad either. When the time comes, we can head to New Moon together and make our mark. Maybe we'll even build a name for ourselves!"

"Fourth year..." Chen Yu did not respond.

Four years... That was too long.

He could not wait that long.

After a day of travel, the three finally arrived in Huaying City.

The moment he got off the vehicle, Chen Yu sensed Body Tempering experts everywhere through Keen Perception.

There were even several experts Chen Yu could not see through, each at least in the Blood Exchange Realm.

That kind of density was dozens of times greater than River City's.

One could imagine how rich the martial culture here was.

"No wonder they all say River City is some backwater. Compared to Huaying City, it really is."

Chen Yu sighed inwardly.

Zhao Tianyi and Hao Xi were no better off at the moment. Their eyes were filled with amazement.

But just then, a long-haired man walked toward the three of them.

"Are you Chen Yu, Zhao Tianyi, and Hao Xi?"

"That's right." The three nodded in unison.

"I'm here to guide you through the enrollment procedures. I'm also a second-year student at Huaying Martial University, Chu Tian." Chu Tian smiled and gestured for them to follow him.

"There's a guide waiting for us the moment we get off the vehicle? And even a senior came personally? Huaying Martial University treats its new students pretty well!" Zhao Tianyi said in surprise.

Before coming, they had indeed registered their train information and approximate arrival time online. Still, they had not expected professional staff to guide them the instant they arrived.

Based on that alone, Huaying Martial University's first impression in the minds of the three rose considerably.

"Heh, it's not really anything. After all, I get credits for it too," Chu Tian explained with a smile.

"Credits? The currency used within Martial Universities?" Chen Yu thought for a moment and guessed it.

"That's right." Chu Tian nodded. "Martial Universities have martial resources rarely seen outside, but you can't buy them with Red Radiance Coins. You can only use credits."

"In terms of purchasing power, one credit is roughly equal to ten thousand Red Radiance Coins. But credits can buy good things that Red Radiance Coins can't."

"So if you want to buy credits privately with Red Radiance Coins, the price will probably be several times higher. It's not worth it."

"I see." Chen Yu nodded slightly.

Certain scarce martial resources could only be obtained through Martial Universities.

At times like that, credits became especially important—far more important than Red Radiance Coins.

"Follow me. I'll handle your enrollment procedures and arrange your dorm assignments."

Chu Tian urged them onward.

Chen Yu and the other two saw no reason to doubt him and immediately followed.

More than ten minutes later, led by Chu Tian, Chen Yu and the others finally caught sight of Huaying Martial University's main gate.

There were not many people passing through the main entrance, only a scattered two or three.

"Huaying Martial University covers around five million square meters. Each year, it enrolls eight hundred students, for a total of three thousand two hundred students from first year through fourth year."

"But including instructors and various staff, the total population is around six thousand."

Six thousand people!

Occupying five million square meters!

From Chen Yu's perspective in his previous life, Huaying Martial University occupied about as much land as two or three universities combined, yet it had more than ten times fewer people.

It was truly vast and sparsely populated.

"No wonder there's barely anyone around!" Zhao Tianyi looked around and shook his head.

After a round of identity verification, Chu Tian finally led the three into Huaying Martial University.

At the same time, he looked down at his Terminal.

"Wait a moment. Let me check which dorm areas you three are assigned to."

"Zhao Tianyi, Hao Xi, you're both in C District. You're even both C-Rank Contract holders. Not bad."

"C District has standard single rooms, much more comfortable than the double rooms in D District. If I could've signed a C-Rank Contract back then, that would've been great."

"As for Chen Yu... you're not in C District. Let me look..."

"Not in D District... or B Zone... Could you be an A-Rank Contract prodigy?"

Chu Tian glanced up at Chen Yu, his tone full of shock. There were only a few A-Rank Contract signers each year, yet he had actually run into one.

"Hehe, didn't expect that, did you?" Zhao Tianyi chuckled. He had learned that Chen Yu signed an A-Rank Contract during the Warm-up Tournament.

Seeing Chu Tian's astonished expression now, Zhao Tianyi, also a Biohuman, felt a surge of shared pride.

"That's badass!" Chu Tian gave Chen Yu a thumbs-up, then continued searching for Chen Yu's room number.

Yet... there was still nothing!

"Not in D, C, B, or A Zone... Could it be?" Chu Tian's fingers trembled slightly as he swiped upward, and the Terminal display suddenly flipped to another page.

Written clearly on it was:

S District, Room 1 — Chen Yu
