the three months at your age are very important; if used properly, it is enough to improve your Martial Dao strength by a large margin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, starting from sixteen, accompanied by physical development and vigorous blood-Qi, Martial Dao cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, my goal for the college entrance exam is 'Kunlun Martial Dao University'.\" Li Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five major Martial Dao famous schools in Xia country are named after Xiajing, Nanhai, Kunlun, Donghai, and Jixing respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kunlun Martial Dao University has the most admission spots in Jiangbei Province every year and is the first choice for Martial Dao top students in Jiangbei Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kunlun Martial Dao University, if you can get into it, it is definitely the first choice, and your grade has hope of getting into it, but without awakening Martial Dao spirituality, do you have 100% certainty?\" Teacher Chen asked Li Yuan back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan couldn't help but be silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your goal is to sprint for Kunlun Martial Dao University, but Jiangbei Martial Dao University is the bottom line;
