Chapter 57: Dire News! Level Two War Alert!

"You want to recommend someone to me?"

The burly man, addressed as Ninth Senior Brother by Grandmaster Wan, was slightly taken aback by the request. He placed the battle knife in his hand aside and pondered, "Master Wan, have you returned from the Sea Void Star System?"

The Sea Void Star System, located in the southern waters of Xia Nation, was a star system of the same second-level rank as Robo Sea, but with far less fame.

Wan Qinghe had spent a considerable amount of time adventuring in the Sea Void Star System.

"Yes."

"I've been back for more than half a year, and I forgot to tell you, Ninth Senior Brother." Grandmaster Wan smiled, "I've returned to Jiangcheng City and am now the pavilion master of a fifth-level martial hall."

Ninth Senior Brother was unaware of Grandmaster Wan's recent situation, which didn't surprise the latter.

Their master was one of Xia Nation's top martial artists, not only possessing the ability to soar through the skies but also considered one of Kunlun Martial University's 'Pillars of the School'.

Back then, Grandmaster Wan was fortunate to be accepted as a named disciple, becoming a registered disciple.

However, the burly man in the video was a direct disciple.

In terms of age, Grandmaster Wan was a year older than the burly man, having entered the school a year earlier. But according to the rules, all named disciples addressed the direct disciples as 'Senior Brother'.

The distinction between named disciples and direct disciples was clear.

The status gap between them was enormous.

After many years, the gap in their strength had also widened. In the past decade, their interactions had been limited.

"Master Wan, you should know that although I'm the vice-president of the Eighth Academy, I'm only in charge of academics. This inspection trip to Jiangbei Province isn't led by me."

"I'm not directly responsible for admissions, I can only make suggestions at most." The burly man chose his words carefully, "If their talent and strength aren't outstanding enough, they won't pass the school's final review."

The burly man assumed that Grandmaster Wan wanted to use his connections, and he wasn't very willing to do so.

Yet, he didn't want to strain their relationship.

After all, Grandmaster Wan had helped him when he first joined the master's tutelage.

"Haha, Ninth Senior Brother, rest assured." Grandmaster Wan smiled, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. On the contrary, I genuinely want to recommend a good candidate to you."

"The person I'm recommending is seventeen and a half years old, and his martial arts skills have already reached the third level of completion." Grandmaster Wan spoke quickly, "Yesterday, he broke into the top 1000 of the Blue Planet Youth Rankings."

"Moreover, his mental strength talent is extremely high. I estimate that he can already match a 13th or 14th-level martial artist." Grandmaster Wan said in one breath.

He listed all of Li Yuan's strengths.

"Oh?" The burly man revealed a hint of surprise.

"No."

The burly man was puzzled, "Master Wan, according to what you said, he even has the potential to aim for Starfire University. Why come to me?"

"Is he physically disabled? Missing an arm or a leg?" Ninth Senior Brother asked, "Or does he have other defects?"

"As you see fit, Senior Brother." Grandmaster Wan smiled bitterly, "He hasn't awakened his martial spirit."

"So that's the case." The burly man instantly understood.

Martial spirit was the most critical indicator of martial talent, without exception.

This was evident from the weightage of scores in the college entrance examination.

"This young man, as you described, with some resource investment and a billion Blue Star coins, becoming an Origin Martial Artist won't be difficult." The burly man said, "But without a compatible advanced cultivation technique, it's not easy to break through to the 25th level, let alone becoming a Sky Soaring Martial Artist."

"It's challenging." Grandmaster Wan agreed.

However, he secretly grumbled to himself that Ninth Senior Brother had high standards, casually mentioning the 25th level, which he himself hadn't even reached.

But Grandmaster Wan understood that Ninth Senior Brother was just one step away from becoming a Sky Soaring Martial Artist.

"With such skills and strong mental strength, logically, if the compatibility is high enough, there's a chance to sense the cosmic source power through the cultivation technique." The burly man frowned, "His age is also approaching the limit... With a 90% probability, I bring into the Seven Great High-Rank Cultivation Techniques, won't match him."

"If he wants to achieve great success in the future, he must create a high-rank cultivation technique compatible with himself." There was a hint of regret in the burly man's voice.

The burly man had high standards.

He was well aware that most of the Seven Great High-Rank Cultivation Techniques of human civilization were summarized by Sky Soaring Martial Artists, or even that elite group at the pinnacle.

Creating a high-rank cultivation technique, even the simplest one tailored for oneself, was extremely challenging for an Origin Martial Artist.

Looking at all of human civilization, such geniuses were rare.

"Yes, it's difficult." Grandmaster Wan also understood the challenge of creating a cultivation technique, "But he's indeed a good seedling, at least with a high chance of becoming an Origin Martial Artist."

"Origin Martial Artist?" The burly man paused for a moment, "Alright, Master Wan, send me his detailed information."

"I'll inform Teacher Fan Jin and ask him to pay attention."

"Teacher Fan Jin? Is he one of the inspectors for the Jiangbei trip?" Grandmaster Wan's eyes lit up.

Fan Jin was one of Grandmaster Wan's teachers back then.

"Haha, the organization sent eight teachers to Jiangbei, and each of the Eight Academies sent one." The burly man smiled, "You know, Jiangbei Province is one of the largest recruitment bases for Kunlun Martial University."

Grandmaster Wan nodded in agreement.

The Five Great Academies of Xia Nation recruited about two thousand students each year, totaling ten thousand.

In Jiangbei Province, they recruited about five hundred students, with over three hundred of them from Kunlun Martial University.

However, the number of students selected for special training didn't exceed 15% of the admitted students.

"As long as this young man is as good as you say, with his skills and mental strength, there shouldn't be a problem getting on the special training list."

"The burly man didn't finish his sentence.

'I'll trouble you, Ninth Senior Brother.' Grandmaster Wan said.

He ended the call.

'Li Yuan.'

'I've done all I can for you.' Grandmaster Wan sighed inwardly, 'I hope you can seize this opportunity.'

He thought for a moment.

Grandmaster Wan sent another message to Xu Bo.

...

In the afternoon, around 1:00 p.m.

After lunch, Li Yuan arrived outside Xu Bo's office, and the door was open.

'Teacher, you wanted to see me?' Li Yuan stood at the entrance.

He had just received Xu Bo's message and rushed over immediately.

'Come in.' Xu Bo stood by the window.

He was admiring the cherry blossoms gradually blooming along the road outside.

Every year, from March to April, the cherry blossoms in Jiangcheng are in full bloom, attracting visitors from all over the country.

'You've entered the top 1000 of the Blue Planet Youth Rankings, right?' Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, 'Your progress is even faster than I expected.'

'How did you know, Teacher?' Li Yuan was slightly surprised.

He had only attempted the advancement tournament at around 2 a.m.

'I received a message from Starfire Combat Palace.' Xu Bo explained, then proceeded to tell Li Yuan about Grandmaster Wan's connection with Kunlun Martial Arts University, giving him a general idea.

'A dean from Kunlun Martial Arts University?' Li Yuan held his breath.

Martial Arts University was not something an ordinary academic university could compare to.

As far as Li Yuan knew, even a regular position at a martial arts university would require one to be at least an Origin Martial Artist.

A dean? That was definitely a big shot.

'I don't know who exactly, but Grandmaster Wan is indeed sincere.'

'The observer from Kunlun Martial Arts University who will be coming for the invitation activity will likely be specifically assessing you.' Xu Bo instructed, 'Prepare well and seize the opportunity.'

'I understand, Teacher.' Li Yuan replied solemnly.

He immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity.

Perhaps, by normally displaying his strength, he could also receive a special training invitation from one of the Five Great Academies.

But with this extra attention, it would naturally be easier.

'What a pity.' Xu Bo sighed.

'Teacher, why?' Li Yuan was puzzled.

'I was just thinking that if you awakened your martial spirit and gained the spirituality bonus, you would have a chance to strive for a spot in Starry Sky University or Starfire University.' Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with regret.

'The top three martial arts schools in the world?' Li Yuan smiled, he had never dared to dream of that.

The top three martial arts schools in the world only recruited around a thousand students globally each year.

According to the national college entrance examination, only the top ten in the province would have a good chance of getting in.

Li Yuan's initial goal was just to get into one of the Five Great Academies.

...

Time passed day by day, and Li Yuan's life remained the same, following a strict routine.

Except for the morning academic classes.

The rest of the time, Li Yuan devoted himself to the cultivation of fist and spear techniques like a madman, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in spear technique.

In the blink of an eye, it was March 13th."

4011 Martial Arts Room.

'Skills are interconnected.'

'Body and mind united, the power throughout my body flows as one, and my strength is perfect.' Li Yuan thought to himself, 'I'm gradually exploring the deeper layers of my body.'

'My spear technique's power is also constantly improving.'

But for several days, the Divine Palace panel's spear technique skill remained at 99% of the third tier.

'The Divine Palace panel hasn't given any reminders.'

'But I can feel it myself.' Li Yuan's eyes lit up, 'This move is becoming more and more proficient, and if I keep practicing like this, I'll soon be able to completely control the first technique.'

Li Yuan had a premonition that once he perfected it, he would advance to the fourth tier of spear technique.

It's not the slow progress that's scary, but the lack of hope.

'Ding-ding—' A sound rang out.

'Master, your sister, Li Qian Xi, is trying to contact you urgently.' The intelligent assistant's voice sounded.

'Urgent contact?' Li Yuan was startled and immediately sheathed his spear, 'Connect.'

Whoosh~

A light screen formed, and Li Qian Xi's round face appeared, her face full of anxiety, and there were even tears in her eyes.

From the background, it seemed like she was standing in a corner of the corridor.

'Brother!' Li Qian Xi exclaimed as soon as the communication connected.

'Qian Xi, what's wrong?' Li Yuan's voice deepened, 'What happened? Don't worry, take your time.'

'Lobu Sea!'

'The war in the Robo Sea Star System has escalated, and many have died.' Li Qian Xi's voice was tense, 'The country has issued a Level Two War Alert, our teacher just mentioned it in class.'

'Level Two War Alert?' Li Yuan's pupils constricted slightly.

The war that had been raging for the past half a year had always been at Level Three War Alert.

Moreover, I just video-called my uncle two days ago, wasn't the war in the Robo Sea Star System about to end? How come it hasn't ended and is now escalating?'

'I just called Dad, but he's not in the service area.' Li Qian Xi was extremely anxious, 'I called Mom, but she didn't answer either.'

'Brother!'

'You don't think Dad will be in danger, right?!'
