"Damn!"
Chu Tian could not help but curse.
He had never heard of Huaying signing any S-Rank Contracts this year. Hadn't there only been a few A-Rank Contracts?
Then what was going on with Chen Yu standing before him?
"Brother Chen... uh, Brother Chen, are you a Limit-Breaking expert?" Chu Tian could not help asking.
But the moment the words left his mouth, he covered it himself and waved his hands vigorously.
"Don't answer. I was being too nosy."
"Brother Chu, you're a year older than me..." Chen Yu had not expected his S-Rank Contract to be this intimidating.
Chu Tian had even cast aside the dignity of a sophomore.
"Don't do that. Martial Dao strength commands respect. You should be my brother instead." Chu Tian gave a bitter smile and waved his hand.
He could not accept being called Brother Chu.
"Come on, I'll take you to S District first. If not for you, I wouldn't even be able to get into that place."
With that, Chu Tian impatiently strode ahead to lead the way.
Behind him, Zhao Tianyi and Hao Xi exchanged a glance before asking in low voices,
"Weren't you on an A-Rank Contract? How did it become an S-Rank Contract?"
"It's a long story..." Chen Yu briefly explained how perfecting the Thunder Extreme Saber had caused his contract to be temporarily changed.
"So that's how it was! A perfected martial art is already enough to rival a Firstfold Limit Break expert!" Zhao Tianyi was equally astonished.
He had known that perfecting a martial art was difficult, but he had not expected it to be this difficult.
Its status was even comparable to that of a Firstfold Limit Break genius!
Huaying Martial University covered an enormous area. Even at the four of their speeds, it took several minutes to reach the S District Dormitories.
Rather than dormitories, they were more like clusters of standalone villas, each even with a small courtyard of around fifty square meters.
"S District is a dormitory complex built specifically for S-Rank Contract holders. There are even people assigned to clean it every day and keep it tidy."
Chu Tian's tone was filled with emotion and undisguised envy.
After all, he lived in a two-person room in D District. How could he possibly not envy an S-Rank Contract genius?
The Martial Dao was like this—strength reigned supreme in the nakedest sense, and all kinds of resources naturally flowed toward the strong.
"Damn, this is way too good!" Zhao Tianyi touched this and looked at that, practically exploding with envy.
"The single rooms in C District are pretty good too, but compared with S District..." Hao Xi shook her head. The C District single room she was about to move into suddenly felt like a condemned building compared to S District.
"No need to envy him. For Martial Artists, strength is king." Chu Tian smiled as he explained,
"Every class of freshmen has a combat power ranking. If you can defeat Chen Yu, you can move up to the S District Dormitories too."
"Besides that, S District has ten villas in total. There are one to four spots for students from first to fourth year. If you're strong enough, even as a sophomore, you can fight for second place and still live in S District."
Though he said that, Chu Tian knew very well just how difficult it was.
Receiving an S-Rank Contract proved that Chen Yu's talent was exceptional. The gap between him and others would only widen over time.
Trying to turn the tables under such circumstances was harder than reaching the heavens.
Zhao Tianyi and Hao Xi understood this as well. Though the two of them had defeated Chen Yu a few months ago,
now, the distance between Chen Yu and them was only growing wider.
"Alright, Brother Chu, take us to C District." Zhao Tianyi sighed and stopped thinking about it.
Right now, he only wanted to train hard and see whether he could at least earn himself a room in B Zone.
"Chen Yu, we'll meet up again after we've checked out the dorms!" Hao Xi waved at him.
"No problem." Chen Yu nodded, then stood at the entrance and looked around.
In the distance, villas stood sparsely scattered, each roughly a hundred meters apart.
There were not many of them. Chen Yu counted only nine.
"Only S-Rank Contract holders can live in the S District Dormitories. So among these ten villas, the residents should be the ten strongest students from freshman to senior year."
"If I can fight these people, Purple Talents might be uncertain, but I should be able to copy a Green-Quality Talent..."
"Still, it's hard to say. This year's Huaying freshmen don't even have a Limit-Breaking expert. I'll most likely only be able to copy Blue Talents... The upperclassmen may not be any different."
Chen Yu guessed inwardly.
But with no ties or connections between them, these experts might not pay him any attention.
Besides, he had keenly noticed that the other nine villas seemed to be empty at the moment.
He had no idea what those experts were busy with.
"Forget it. Training comes first." Chen Yu shook his head and continued trying to break through to Firstfold Limit Break.
As for Blood Battle Nine Transformations, Chen Yu did not know how Fang Xiong had obtained it, but it was indeed a supreme method for Qi-Blood Limit Break. Its ultimate limit was Ninefold Limit Break.
Firstfold Limit Break was not difficult. With Chen Yu's current Purple Quality Martial Dao Bone, he only needed one month to reach it.
If resources were plentiful, the process could even be shorter.
"If I raise the quality of [Gluttonous Factor (Blue)], I wonder whether its digestive ability can continue improving?"
"If it can, it will definitely be a huge help for Limit-Breaking."
Chen Yu could not help but ponder it.
His Martial Dao Bone was already Purple Quality. Raising it to the next tier would be extremely difficult.
But [Gluttonous Factor (Blue)] was different. Raising it to Cyan Quality would not be much trouble.
"It's worth trying."
Chen Yu still had high expectations for this talent he had copied from an Evil God Cultist.
Over the next few days, Chen Yu, Zhao Tianyi, and the others explored all of Huaying Martial University and became familiar with its various areas.
"Huadu Martial University really is loaded. The first floor of the cafeteria is actually all free food."
The trays before Zhao Tianyi were piled high as he stuffed all sorts of high-calorie, high-protein foods into his mouth.
To him, Huaying Martial University was simply heaven. Even meals were free!
Across from him, Chen Yu was no less impressive, with plate after plate of food in front of him.
Martial Artists already had terrifying appetites, and with [Gluttonous Factor], Chen Yu's digestive ability was even more extraordinary.
Hao Xi felt the gazes from all around them and looked somewhat embarrassed.
Tomorrow was Huaying Martial University's opening ceremony. Most of the freshmen had already arrived, and quite a few people were in the cafeteria.
But few people ate like Chen Yu and Zhao Tianyi, as if they had never had a full meal in their lives.
She said helplessly, "Ordinary food like this isn't very nutritious. Huaying Martial University's truly good stuff is actually on the second floor."
"But the second floor requires credits."
The credits promised by their contracts would only be issued after the opening ceremony. At the moment, they could be said to be completely broke.
"Hey, you're a Biohuman. You wouldn't understand..." Zhao Tianyi shook his head, exchanged a glance with Chen Yu, and continued clearing out the food.
But Zhao Tianyi was full after eating for a while and could only watch Chen Yu continue eating with envy.
If I had Chen Yu's absurd digestive ability, I could eat even more, Zhao Tianyi thought.
Biohumans were used to being poor. With such a rare chance to eat for free, Zhao Tianyi wished he could grow another stomach.
Just then, a man and a woman slowly approached the three of them.
"Hm?"
Chen Yu sensed clear hostility and abruptly looked up at them.
Could it be that just because he had eaten a little more free food, some blind fool was really unhappy with him?
