True Martial University

Biodata

History

True Martial University has operated for roughly a thousand years. Its early martial arts clubs produced organizations that later became major external powers, including the Dragon Tiger Martial Arts School; this long-standing exchange of students and graduates remains mutually beneficial to the university and such forces. 67

The university is situated in True Martial Base City, close to the Hundred Beasts Void Battlefield. The region’s enduring military presence and martial culture have made the school part of a city where martial policies and development advance quickly. 56

Its campus faces continuing pressure from the nearby Void Battlefield, which has been unsettled in recent years. 112

Campus

• The campus is the largest among the top ten martial arts universities, approximately the size of a small county town. It includes mountains and internal public transportation. 58
• Its grounds contain a teaching zone, dormitory zone, cafeteria, library, training grounds, cinema, shopping mall, and an airport. Exploring the campus on foot can take one or two days. 59
• The main gate is hundreds of meters high and wide, bearing the university’s name and its first principal’s motto: “Uphold virtue and carry all things, martial dao eternal prosperity; be rigorous and diligent, my dao endures forever.” 58
• The Number One Training Ground can hold nearly 20,000 people and is used for major freshman ceremonies. 63
• Training facilities remain open around the clock, accommodating students whose Gene Methods and cultivation schedules keep them active at night. 70
• The Golden Roll records the honors and commendations earned by the university’s students and faculty throughout its history. 87

Admissions and Military System

• The university enrolls more than 10,000 new students annually; entrants are described as local prodigies or martial-dao geniuses, with many already having opened a Secret Treasury Gate. 58
• As a military academy, it conducts a military-rank conferral ceremony for freshmen. Students formally join the Military Department and may rise in rank through achievement during their four years of study. 62
• Graduates who perform well can gain Officer status, while students with prior military commissions retain their rank-based standing upon enrollment. 59 62
• Senior students assist with enrollment reception; the students stationed at the main gate are Martial Artists who have opened at least one Secret Treasury Gate. 58
• Wilderness training serves as the university’s equivalent of ordinary universities’ military training. It is designed to involve danger without normally becoming a life-or-death exercise. 69

Academics and Training

True Martial University teaches more than combat. Its curriculum includes Intelligence Studies, Exotic Beast Studies, Void Battlefield Studies, Gene Studies, Energy Studies, and Secret Treasury Gate Theory, reflecting its focus on both martial practice and scientific understanding of genes and energy. 85

The university also maintains strong non-combat majors. Energy Application and Research is a leading, employment-oriented field supported by specialists such as Professor Zhou Guobin. 59 102

Competitions

Five Schools Joint Competition
