Chapter 104: Kunlun Martial University, New Senior Brother

Chapter 104: Kunlun Martial University, New Senior Brother



Sitting in the short-distance flight vehicle prepared by the Martial Hall, Li Yuan hurried towards the airport.

Suddenly, he felt his smart ring vibrate and looked down, his eyes narrowing slightly.

It was a message from Lin Lan Yue.

After the invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University, the two had not met again.

Before and after the National College Entrance Examination, Li Yuan had wanted to thank Lin Lan Yue in person.

However, she had not returned to Guanshan First High School.

Li Yuan had asked Gu Qianghan about it.

He only confirmed one thing—Lin Lan Yue had indeed returned to take the exam, but her test center was assigned to Guanshan District Second High School.

Moreover, she did not return home to Starlight South Lake Estate.

Where was she living now? Even Gu Qianghan did not know.

Li Yuan tried sending messages to Lin Lan Yue through V-Communication several times, but there was no response.

It was as if she was intentionally avoiding him.

Li Yuan had not expected that, just as he was about to set off for Kunlun Martial University, Lin Lan Yue sent him a message.

The message was not particularly long.

"Li Yuan, I've seen all your messages. Last time, I only knew about saving your uncle by chance from Teacher Xu Bo, and then my brother happened to pass through Jiangcheng with the Flame-Tong Spirit Spring. You don't need to worry too much about it. Congratulations on getting into Kunlun Martial University, the best martial arts university in Xiaguo. I believe you will become a Skysoaring Warrior in the future. Keep it up!"

Li Yuan stared at the light screen, lost in thought.

Coincidence?

Was it a genuine coincidence, or was it an excuse Lin Lan Yue made to avoid burdening him with guilt? He pondered for a while.

Li Yuan replied, "Regardless, thank you. If there's anything I can help with in the future, please let me know. I also wish you all the best at Starlight University."

Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Or perhaps, after Li Changzhou's incident, Li Yuan realized the vast gap between them.

His words became somewhat formal.

Lin Lan Yue's martial arts score in the National College Entrance Examination was the first in Guanshan District, second in Jiangcheng City, and third in Jiangbei Province.

The top scorer in Jiangbei Province was Wu Dongdong, followed by Wang Yu, and Lin Lan Yue was third.

Lin Lan Yue was successfully admitted to Starlight University.

She was the only student from Guanshan District to be accepted into one of the world's top three prestigious universities.

After some time, Lin Lan Yue replied, "Okay, see you later."

Li Yuan stared at the light screen, remaining silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh. In the end, he did not respond to the message.

He turned off his smart ring and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon after, a deep voice broke the silence, "Li Yuan, we've arrived at the airport. You can check in and board the plane in the terminal."

The cabin door opened with a clang.

"Instructor Xing, thank you," Li Yuan said, opening his eyes to see Instructor Xing sitting in front of him.

"Do we still need to say these things between us? Go to Kunlun Martial University and focus on your cultivation. I'm looking forward to the birth of a Skysoaring Warrior from our Guanshan District." Instructor Xing said, "Don't worry about your family; I'll arrange for someone from the Martial Hall to keep an eye on them."

"If there's anything important, I'll report it to the Hall Master."

"Thank you," Li Yuan nodded.

During his stay in Starlight South Lake Estate, Li Yuan had gotten to know many martial artists from the Martial Hall, including Instructor Xing and Fang Hu, who lived in Zone Three and had a good relationship with Li Yuan. He had entrusted them with some matters.

Additionally, Li Yuan was very impressed by his uncle Li Changzhou's capabilities and connections.

Furthermore, Li Yuan had left behind 2 million Blue Star Coins, so he wasn't overly concerned about his family.

Half an hour later, a large aircraft took off from Heavenly River Airport, heading towards Longxi Province.

...

In the central villa of Starlight South Lake Estate.

First floor living room.

"Little sister, it's only two kilometers away. Why not go and see him?" The blue-clothed youth smiled.

"No need," the girl sitting on the sofa shook her head lightly. "I know him; he's a very proud person."

"Now, he must feel indebted to me for a favor he can't repay... What's the point of meeting if it's just going to be awkward?"

"Small talk?"

"Or watching him fumble and say thank you to me?" Lin Lan Yue looked at the blue-clothed youth.

The youth was speechless.

"Let's wait."

"I believe there will be a day when we meet again." Lin Lan Yue stood up, her delicate face calm. "By then, I believe he will be able to face me with ease."

"Aren't you afraid of waiting in vain? Or that he'll fall for someone else?" The youth looked at his younger sister.

He felt that in the past six months, his little sister had undergone many changes.

She gradually shed her youthful innocence and became more composed, courageous, and resolute.

On top of that, there was a vague, unspoken emotion that had yet to fully blossom.

After a long silence, the girl finally spoke softly, "I believe in my own judgment. If I'm wrong, I'll bear the consequences." Lin Lan Yue smiled. "Let's go, big brother."

"It's over three thousand kilometers from Jiangbei to the Lantis Continent."

"Today is the last day for enrollment, so let's not be late."

...

After arriving in Longxi Province by large aircraft and then transferring to a smaller one, Li Yuan finally reached Kunlun Martial University at 3 p.m.

"Kunlun Martial University," Li Yuan muttered to himself, sitting by the window of the aircraft. He could see in the vast expanse of land ahead, numerous villas, buildings, and airports, but the most eye-catching was a towering, sci-fi-like structure—the Kunlun Fortress.

This was Kunlun Martial University, and its overall structure and layout were similar to Jiangbei Martial University, perhaps even smaller in scale.

After all, Jiangbei Martial University had forty to fifty thousand students, while Kunlun Martial University only had around ten thousand students annually.

But!

The Kunlun Fortress was awe-inspiring, far surpassing the fortress at Jiangbei Martial University.

"Kunlun Fortress," Li Yuan whispered, recalling the name of this fortress.

This fortress was one of the top ten highest fortresses in the northwestern region of Xiaguo, standing nearly nine hundred meters tall and covering an area of nearly twenty square kilometers—a colossal structure.

The other nine? Most of them were located in the Lop Nur Star Territory.

The aircraft quickly approached.

"As expected!"

"Apart from the teaching building, everything else is villas." Li Yuan sighed, "According to the admission brochure, each student gets a private villa equipped with a flight vehicle and a housekeeper, allowing them to focus solely on cultivation."

At Jiangbei Martial University, only the top 5% of students enjoyed such treatment.

In the vast Kunlun Martial University, every student seemed to possess even greater strength.

Li Yuan's gaze shifted to the distant horizon, where a colossal mountain range undulated like a colossal dragon.

This was none other than the first mountain range in Xia Nation—the Kunlun Mountains.

"Kunlun, the ancestor of all mountains," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "The name Kunlun University indeed holds a profound meaning."

......

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Several students from the aircraft followed Li Yuan and disembarked one after another.

Today marked the final day of registration.

With the afternoon already upon them, almost all the students had completed their registration.

Consequently, the 'Welcome New Students' banner at the terminal had partially fallen, and no one bothered to fix it.

"Li Yuan, over here, come quickly!" A handsome youth called out from a distance.

Beside him stood a robust youth, with even more people following behind.

Upon seeing the two, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile and stride towards them, "Gu Qiang, Dong Hai Feng, long time no see."

He approached and greeted them in the customary manner of male students—a chest bump.

Indeed!

Gu Qiang Han and Dong Hai Feng had both successfully passed the entrance exams for Kunlun Martial University.

Together with Li Yuan, they were the only three students from Guanshan First High School to be admitted into the top five universities.

Having graduated from the same high school and now attending the same university, their relationship naturally grew closer, and they had been in touch early on.

Before their departure.

Li Yuan had sent messages to Gu Qiang Han and Dong Hai Feng, informing them of his estimated arrival time.

"Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan," Behind the two, there were thirty or forty people, all greeting Li Yuan.

"You... Are you all from Jiangcheng City?" Li Yuan hesitated, recognizing many familiar faces.

"Yes."

"I'm An Nong." A tall and thin boy smiled, "We all participated in Jiangbei Martial University's recruitment event together, so you might not remember us, but we remember you."

"I'm Tong Zhi."

"I'm..." Dozens of them introduced themselves swiftly.

"Great, I actually remember all of you," Li Yuan smiled.

Meeting a large group of old acquaintances and fellow townsmen, the initial sense of strangeness from being away from home dissipated.

"What are you all doing here?" Li Yuan asked hesitantly, as it was understandable for Gu Qiang Han and Dong Hai Feng to come pick him up.

As for the others? They were vaguely familiar, but he hadn't gotten to know them well enough.

"What else would we be doing? We're here to welcome you, the new senior brother of the Sixth Academy!" Gu Qiang Han glared, "You're the last to arrive as the new senior brother of the Sixth Academy. "You have no sense of responsibility at all!"

"New senior brother?" Li Yuan was perplexed.

He had just arrived.

How did he become the new senior brother?

"Let's not talk about it now. The rankings close at 8 p.m., and our academy is only sixth. Li Yuan, get on the aircraft," Gu Qiang Han called out, "I'll explain on the way."

"Your enrollment procedures should be completed in the Kunlun Space, right?"

"Yes, it's done. Room 61032," Li Yuan replied.

This room number indicated the Sixth Academy, Villa 1032.

"I'm in the adjacent room, 61031," Gu Qiang Han smiled, "After we finish up, you can focus on boosting our academy's ranking."

"Let's head to the Xuanwu Building."

"Ranking?" Li Yuan became more confused, still feeling a bit disoriented after just landing.

Nevertheless, he followed Gu Qiang Han onto the aircraft.

The aircraft was designed for four people and was essentially similar to a 'flying car,' suitable for short-distance travel.

Each student was provided with one, which could be driven autonomously and intelligently to any location within the school.

When needed, they could summon it.

When not in use, it would automatically return to the villa, where it would recharge, park, and wash itself.

"It seems like students from Jiangbei Martial University all run to and from school," Li Yuan couldn't help but remark.

He recalled the scenes from the recruitment event.

"Universities have different cultivation programs," Gu Qiang Han explained, "The weakest student at Kunlun Martial University is comparable to their strongest."

Li Yuan smiled, neither confirming nor denying it.

Perhaps this was true for freshmen.

But by the time they reached their sophomore or junior year, it might not be the case anymore.

......

As they traveled along the road, Li Yuan noticed numerous aircraft passing by.

Each carried students from Kunlun Martial University.

"13th-level Martialist!"

"Martialist!"

Li Yuan casually scanned the crowd, employing the Divine Palace Probe, and discovered that most students' Life Levels were below 15.

Very few were at the 18th level.

Martialists at the Source level were extremely rare; Li Yuan had only encountered a few along the way.

Excluding freshmen, Martialists were everywhere, and Source-level student Martialists were also present—this was Kunlun Martial University.

Ranked among the top two Martial Arts universities in Xia Nation.

During the journey, Gu Qiang Han swiftly briefed Li Yuan on the situation, giving him a general idea.

"The Eight Academy Competition, the pre-enrollment points ranking? The total points of the top 200 students in each academy?"

"Closing at 8 p.m. tonight?"

"The top-ranked academy will receive a reward of 20,000 Blue Star Coins for each student, and the top-ranked individual will get 500,000 Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan listened to Gu Qiang Han's explanation.

"Are you all from the Sixth Academy?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How did you all end up here?"

Logically, there shouldn't be more than a hundred students from Jiangcheng City who were admitted to Kunlun Martial University.

And Kunlun Martial University had eight academies.

"Because of you!"

"After you chose the Sixth Academy half a month ago and told me, I immediately contacted these fellow townsmen. Before and after enrollment, we all strongly requested to join the Sixth Academy," Gu Qiang Han was quite excited, "Anyway, someone has to join, so why not us? We can rely on you!"

"Li Yuan, I don't know about students from other provinces, but we do,"

"Your low ranking was due to the spirit aura bonus. In terms of raw scores, you're actually the first in Jiangbei Province."

"But in university, it's all about real strength!"

"Wu Dongdong, my sister, Tian Dong, and those top-tier geniuses who can compete with you have all gone to Starlight University and Starfire University."

"In terms of strength, you claim to be the second-best freshman at Kunlun Martial University, and I don't believe anyone would dare to say they're first!" Gu Qiang Han's eyes shone, "Li Yuan, I've said it before, my sister is out of the question."

"For the next five years of university, I'm counting on you to look after me."
