Chapter 71: One Hundred Million Blue Star Coins
Chapter 71: One Hundred Million Blue Star Coins
"Li Yuan," the black-robed elegant woman ignored President Li and looked directly at Li Yuan, "You really signed the contract?"
"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.
"You're still young, don't be fooled by this old man named Li," the black-robed woman smiled. "He looks kind when he smiles, but who knows how ruthless he is in battle... Are you willing to come to Donghai Martial Arts University? Even if you've signed, it's not a problem. We can pay the breach of contract fee for you."
Li Yuan was taken aback.
Breach of contract fee? How could it be played like this?
"Ms. Liu, where did you get the idea of poaching him on the spot like this?" President Li didn't hold back either, "How much breach of contract fee are you planning to pay?"
"5 million Blue Star Coins," the black-robed woman frowned, "Isn't that the standard breach of contract fee for an A-Class Training Contract?"
President Li and Fan Jin both smiled.
A hint of a smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips as well.
"Director Liu," Fan Jin said with a smile, his voice gentle, "If you want to sign Li Yuan, you'll need to pay Kunlun Martial University 50 million Blue Star Coins in addition to Li Yuan's agreement."
"50 million?" The black-robed woman's face showed a hint of surprise, "Are you offering an S-Class Training Contract?"
"What else could it be?" President Li chuckled, "Or do you think Li Yuan isn't worth an S-Class ranking?"
The black-robed woman suddenly turned her head and stared at Li Yuan, her eyes narrowed. "Have you awakened your Martial Spirit?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "Not yet."
"Then it must be... your Mental Strength?" The black-robed woman fixed her gaze on Li Yuan, a thought forming in her mind, "Your Mental Strength is quite high, isn't it?"
"You're perceptive, Senior," Li Yuan nodded.
"No wonder," the black-robed woman now understood the reason.
"President Li," she said, turning to him, "You're bold. I admire your decision to give away one of the two S-Class Special Training slots just like that."
"I'm not bold, I just think Li Yuan deserves an S-Class slot," President Li smiled. "Don't you think Li Yuan is worthy of an S-Class ranking?"
President Li asked once more.
"I never said that," the black-robed woman replied calmly. "You've already signed him, no need to stir up trouble further."
Resources were limited.
Each S-Class slot represented a significant investment, and naturally, the number of slots was not unlimited.
For example, in this invitation event targeting Jiangbei Province students, Kunlun Martial University had two S-Class Special Training slots, while the other four top universities only had one each.
The black-robed woman turned her gaze to Li Yuan, her smile warm, "Li Yuan, work hard in your cultivation. I look forward to the day you become an Origin Martial Artist, or even a Sky Soaring Martial Artist."
"Thank you, Senior," Li Yuan replied with neither arrogance nor humility, understanding her intentions.
The black-robed woman turned and left.
She acknowledged Li Yuan's excellence, which was why she had come.
However, with only one S-Class slot in her possession and the need to pay an additional 50 million Blue Star Coins as a breach of contract fee, she couldn't help but hesitate.
After all, there were currently three S-Class students, and several more elite students ranked in the top ten in the province.
For example, a student like Wu Luo, whose skill level might not seem as impressive as Li Yuan's at first glance, but he had a more stable future and a higher lower limit.
Most of these students could be classified as A+ Class, but to sign them, the Five Top Martial Arts Universities would still need to offer an S-Class Training Contract."
...
After sending off the leaders of two Martial Arts Universities, Li Yuan had just gone upstairs to his room.
"Li Yuan, what were you doing? Who was at the door just now?" Gu Qiang Han asked casually, munching on a slice of watermelon, "I saved two slices for you."
"Nothing much," Li Yuan smiled.
Ding~ Ding~ The doorbell rang again.
...
Forty minutes later, Li Yuan saw off the last visitor from Jixing Martial Arts University.
"Jixing, Xi Jing, Nanhai," Gu Qiang Han stood beside Li Yuan, his eyes wide with astonishment, "Bro, you're amazing! You rejected invitations from three Martial Arts Universities in one go, and they all offered A-Class Training Contracts."
"The Cage Free-for-all just ended, and I'm not satisfied yet?" Li Yuan replied. "The contract offered by Xi Jing Martial University was pretty good."
"The contract is indeed good," Li Yuan smiled, not explaining further.
"Wait!" Gu Qiang Han suddenly realized something, his eyes widening. "Was the first doorbell Kunlun or Donghai? Have you already signed a Training Contract?"
"Little Qiang, you're getting smarter," Li Yuan said with a smile.
Gu Qiang Han's handsome face was filled with shock.
"I've always been smart, and call me Gu Qiang," he said, sitting down on the sofa. "Did you sign right away? Your skills are definitely worth an A-Class ranking, but it's good to compare a bit more."
Gu Qiang Han's personality was spontaneous and carefree, but he wasn't one to exert himself mentally. However, he wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was intelligent and had an exceptionally broad perspective.
"S-Class?" Gu Qiang Han contemplated a possibility, staring at Li Yuan with disbelief. "Is there a school offering an S-Class training contract?"
"What do you think?" Li Yuan smiled.
"Damn it, Li Yuan!" Gu Qiang Han exclaimed, now fully understanding, "S-Class! So, there's a school that offered you an S-Class training contract on the very first day."
"What did they see in you? Your skills? But you're not a Fifth Tier expert in gun techniques." Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
Having Gu Qiang Han as a roommate was actually quite enjoyable; at least it wasn't dull and monotonous.
He was like a lively treasure.
"Li Yuan, don't you really understand the significance of S-Class?" Gu Qiang Han couldn't help but ask, "S-Class and the top-tier SS-Class students will have access to many very special resources."
"There's also SS-Class?" Li Yuan was taken aback.
"Of course."
Gu Qiang Han stated matter-of-factly, "There are still a batch of S-Class students nationwide every year, but for SS-Class... according to my father, there's hardly one in the entire country in a year, so they don't promote it."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, and he couldn't help but think that Yu Jinghe might be a genius of that caliber.
"You're really amazing."
Gu Qiang Han sighed, "Students above S-Class can access special resources that even my father and his peers can't obtain."
Li Yuan was surprised.
Although he hadn't asked, the existing clues indicated that Gu Qiang Han's father was at least a powerful Origin Martial Artist.
"Can't you buy it with money?" Li Yuan asked subconsciously.
"If you have enough money, you can probably buy it, but it's not worth it." Gu Qiang Han shook his head, "Of course, my father only mentioned it casually, and I don't know the specifics."
"According to my father, if you sell an initial S-Class training slot, it's easy to get one hundred million Blue Star Coins."
"Of course, this is just the initial slot. If you can't maintain it later, it will be downgraded to A-Class." Gu Qiang Han explained, "There's an annual review."
Li Yuan held his breath.
One hundred million Blue Star Coins? He knew that S-Class slots were precious, but he hadn't expected them to be this valuable.
No wonder the breach of contract penalty was as high as fifty million.
"Some things can't be measured by money."
Gu Qiang Han laughed, "Li Yuan, I used to think you were amazing, but now, I truly admire you."
"You haven't awakened your martial spirit, yet you've made the top five martial arts universities offer you an S-Class training contract. There must be something special about you." Gu Qiang Han chuckled, "No wonder my sister always tells me to learn from you."
Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment and then smiled.
In this world, no one was truly stupid.
"Then study hard, and you might even get an A-Class training slot." Li Yuan teased.
"Impossible!"
"I have no talent." Gu Qiang Han shook his head vigorously, "You see that my grades are good, but it's all because of my parents' pressure. If you had my..." He stopped himself, "I just need to pass the entrance exam for one of the top five universities and make my father proud."
"You can't rely on your parents forever." Li Yuan said, "They will get old eventually..."
"Li Yuan."
Gu Qiang Han glanced at Li Yuan and smiled, "Do you believe that when I'm about to die of old age, my parents can still give birth to a bunch of younger brothers for me?"
Li Yuan understood what Gu Qiang Han meant.
Ordinary people couldn't rely on their parents forever, but Gu Qiang Han could!
"You signed up for Kunlun Martial University, right? My father told me to apply there too."
"I can't rely on my sister; she's probably going to Starry Skies University. Let's be good brothers. When we get to university, I'll count on you to look after me." Gu Qiang Han lay back down, looking quite relaxed, "In this life, I just want to become an Origin Martial Artist and then lie flat."
"Rely on parents at home, and friends outside."
"Okay." Li Yuan smiled.
He didn't take these words to heart, as he didn't need to rely on the other's connections.
On the contrary, Li Yuan vaguely understood.
Today, by demonstrating his Fourth Tier skills and obtaining the S-Class training contract, he had truly made Gu Qiang Han want to befriend him from the heart.
It had nothing to do with Gu Qiang Han's personality; it was the perspective they were brought up with.
These scions of great clans, they only acknowledged their peers from equally great clans or true geniuses.
"I also need some friends." Li Yuan thought to himself.
A man needs three good friends.
Making more friends would be beneficial for his martial arts journey.
