Chapter 109

After two hours of cultivating the basic cultivation method.

Li Yuan only felt refreshed and invigorated, his whole body feeling increasingly comfortable.

"It's just a basic method, yet it was formed through the tempering of my human race's successive generations of martial artist predecessors," Li Yuan thought to himself.

"After my skills fully entered the fourth stage, I also utilized auxiliary cultivation treasures like Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow and Yuan Force Essence Pills."

"Combined with the basic cultivation method, my body's evolution speed has been very rapid, far exceeding most freshmen cultivating high-stage cultivation methods," Li Yuan thought to himself.

High-stage cultivation methods can indeed help people improve faster, but everyone's talent is different, and there is often an upper limit to the speed of progress.

And there is no doubt.

Li Yuan's physical talent is extremely high, combined with a large amount of money thrown into resources.

Most importantly, Li Yuan is able to endure the terrifying pain brought about by using the Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow three times a month.

This makes his physical quality improvement speed incredibly astonishing.

"However."

"At the current rate of improvement, wanting to improve to a Yuan Martial Artist within two years as Uncle Wan said? It's difficult!" Li Yuan frowned slightly and scanned his Divine Palace panel.

——

【Life Layer: Level 10.8 (First Rank)】

Fist Strength: 1710 kg

Speed: 24.5 m/s

Spiritual Power: Level 17.9

Spiritual Awakening Degree: 12.8% (Current upper limit 20%)

Physical Cultivation Method: "Pan Shi Cultivation Method"

Mental Cultivation Method: "Contemplating the Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra"

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Stage 42%), Movement Technique (Fourth Stage 31%), Fist Technique (Fourth Stage 44%)

……

"Since the April adjustment exam, from the time I became an Entry Rank martial artist until now, my improvement each month has been about 0.3 levels," Li Yuan thought to himself: "But the further I go, it will definitely become slower."

Two years, wanting to become a Yuan Martial Artist? Almost impossible!

"However, since Uncle Wan said so, there must be his reasons," Li Yuan pondered: "He is a Yuan Martial Artist and also in the management of the Starfire Martial Hall, and he also graduated from Kunlun University in the past, so he must know some things."

There are only two points Li Yuan can think of.

First, as skills improve, especially after reaching 'Inward-Looking', his efficiency in tempering his body will be much higher, exceeding his own imagination.

Second, Kunlun Martial Arts University has special cultivation methods unknown to him for students with S-level special training contracts.

"Tomorrow, school officially starts."

"At that time, when I see Dean Li, I'll ask about the specific situation." Li Yuan felt quite expectant in his heart.

……

At 3:00 AM, Li Yuan, who had finished cultivating the "Contemplating the Great Sun Starry Sky Method," entered the virtual network cabin as usual.

Preparing to play a few rank matches on the Starry Sky Fighting Network.

But just as he entered his personal space.

"Master, you received three transfers yesterday, as well as two explanatory documents," the black-clothed girl said respectfully, as if she were a maid.

"Three transfers?"

Li Yuan felt slightly surprised and quickly checked them; one was 20,000, and one was 500,000.

These were the team and individual rewards for the entrance competition.

There was also another one, for 10 million Blue Star Coins!

"The cash reward for Kunlun Martial Arts University's S-level contract?" Li Yuan thought to himself: "It was issued directly after I arrived at school and confirmed?"

This is for a whole year.

According to the original contract, the signing fee was 1 million Blue Star Coins, which had already been given to Li Yuan.

Subsequent annual rewards are 10 million, totaling 50 million Blue Star Coins over five years.

At the same time.

In Kunlun Martial Arts University's S-level special training contract, it is clearly stipulated that once Li Yuan becomes a Yuan Martial Artist, all subsequent cash rewards will be issued in a lump sum.

Becoming a Yuan Martial Artist represents having the qualification to 'graduate' and can apply for early graduation.

"Compared to the A-level contract with Starfire Martial Hall, the cash reward given by Kunlun Martial Arts University is indeed very little," Li Yuan thought to himself.

The A-level contract Li Yuan signed with Starfire Martial Hall will issue a total of 43.2 million Blue Star Coins and 43.2 million Martial Hall points over six years.

And over 80 million cultivation points.

This is just an A-level contract; if it were Starfire Martial Hall's S-level contract, the various cultivation resource rewards would increase by at least four times.

Before becoming a Yuan Martial Artist, such rewards can be called astronomical figures.

However.

Li Yuan is very clear about the difference between the two contracts; the Martial Hall's rewards are basically all cultivation resources, and as for how to cultivate? The Martial Hall rarely asks.

Excellent ones improve their contract level.

Those whose progress is insufficient? They fade into the crowd, and the contract won't be lowered either.

But martial arts universities have more comprehensive cultivation plans, will provide truly all-around guidance, and many benefits won't be written into the contract.

For example, if treatment is lowered, it's not the cash reward that is lowered, but many special resources not written into the contract, such as faculty, actual combat sparring partners, rare treasures, etc.

……

4:00 AM.

Li Yuan truly began his day of hard cultivation.

At 8:00 AM, after eating a Yuan Force Essence Pill, he also ate three nutritional meals that had been delivered.

That's right!

Kunlun Martial Arts University's cafeteria is very small, and basically no students go there to eat.

Because every student can order meals at any time to be delivered to their residential villa or teaching building, and up to 20 nutritional meals per day are completely free.

In the entire Kunlun Martial Arts University, just the logistics personnel and auxiliary robots serving the students are massive in number.

The purpose is to allow every student to devote themselves wholeheartedly to martial arts cultivation.

……

At 9:00 AM, Li Yuan took a flying vehicle and arrived at the Black Dragon Building, exclusive to the students and teachers of the Sixth Academy.

"Black Dragon."

Li Yuan got off the vehicle and saw at a glance, in front of the building, that winding and coiled massive skeleton.

Even though it was coiled, its height could match the entire building.

If stretched out, it would probably be over a hundred meters long; how shocking to the heart.

It was like the skeleton left behind by a giant snake.

Even though it had been dead for many years, when Li Yuan approached it at close range, he could still feel a wisp of its aura, making one's heart tremble.

"Big Brother!"

"Brother Yuan." Two voices rang out from afar; it was Gu Qianghan and An Nong.

"Good morning." Li Yuan turned his head and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Looking at the Black Dragon skeleton?" Gu Qianghan asked curiously.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded and looked up at the massive Black Dragon skeleton: "I read the academy introduction yesterday."

"It was a Black Dragon that suddenly appeared more than twenty years ago in the deep South Sea, not far from the Haixu Star Realm. It stirred up wind and clouds, set off a terrifying tsunami, and caused hundreds of thousands of casualties," Li Yuan said softly: "In the end, it was our academy's Dean Hai who took action, raiding ten thousand miles in the South Sea, going deep into the seabed thousands of meters down, before finally killing it."

"Right."

"We know that too."

"Dean Hai's fame-making battle, a Flying-level duel, killing the South Sea Black Dragon," Gu Qianghan and An Nong couldn't help but say.

Dean Hai is the only Flying-level martial artist in the Sixth Academy.

His strength is terrifying, and his prestige is illustrious.

The battle to kill the South Sea Black Dragon shook the entire Xia Nation back then.

Children of their generation who grew up have mostly heard of it, and have even seen some video clips.

"Big Brother."

"Brother." Freshmen walked over one after another. After yesterday at the Xuanwu Building, the Sixth Academy freshmen all knew Li Yuan and greeted him one after another.

Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.

"Big Brother, don't worry," An Nong whispered: "I stayed up all night yesterday, initially selected six people, and notified all the freshmen in batches."

"No problem," An Nong said.

"Okay, thanks for your hard work." Li Yuan couldn't help but look at An Nong; this guy is truly a talent.

It's just that he doesn't know how his martial arts skills are.

…… The Sixth Academy freshman orientation ceremony was held officially at 10:00 AM, but 'Dean Hai', whom all the students were looking forward to, did not arrive.

Two vice deans came.

After various speeches, at 11:00 AM, when Dean Li announced that they were going to select the 'Big Brother' for the first semester of freshman year.

"Li Yuan!"

"Big Brother, Li Yuan!" In the entire venue, in just a few seconds, a sound like a mountain collapse and a tsunami erupted.

This level of enthusiasm.

Not to mention Dean Li and the other academy leaders and teachers, even Li Yuan himself was a bit confused.

"Could it be that I'm really this popular?" Li Yuan was quite suspicious.

But Li Yuan didn't know.

Last night.

An Nong used only one move to settle the potential doubts of the Sixth Academy freshmen: "It's not that Li Yuan wants to be the Big Brother, do you think a martial arts genius like him cares about the title of Big Brother?"

"Could it be that if he doesn't become the Big Brother, the vice deans and deans won't specially cultivate him?"

"Remember, it's us who need Li Yuan!"

"It's not that Li Yuan wants our support, it's that we need Li Yuan's help. Only if Li Yuan becomes the Big Brother will he be willing to lead us to keep winning prize money in the next few years... Whoever opposes Li Yuan becoming the Big Brother isn't opposing Li Yuan."

"They are opposing the two hundred or so freshmen of our Sixth Academy, they are trying to cut off the money bag of all our freshmen!"

"They are our irreconcilable enemies."

"Now, I want to ask, who else wants to oppose?"

No one questioned it anymore.

In the end, there was the crazy scene at today's freshman orientation ceremony.

Amidst the shouts of Li Yuan being elected 'Big Brother' by unanimous vote.

A grand, successful, and perfect Sixth Academy freshman orientation ceremony officially ended.

……

In the afternoon, a light rain began to fall outside, drizzling onto the coiled massive Black Dragon skeleton.

Ninth floor, inside Dean Li's office.

"You're quite popular; arriving at school on the last day, you made everyone willing to let you be the Big Brother." Dean Li looked at Li Yuan with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"You flatter me, Dean," Li Yuan laughed.

"No matter, we already know about your performance at the Xuanwu Building yesterday," Dean Li laughed: "If they didn't choose you, no one else could convince everyone."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

"This is just a small matter; your cultivation is the big matter," Dean Li smiled: "Created the historical record for the entrance competition, just very proud?"

"I wouldn't dare," Li Yuan shook his head.

"Sit down, let's talk slowly," Dean Li restrained his aura, appearing like an ordinary elder.

Li Yuan sat down obediently.

"You performed indeed very well, stronger than both Yan Jing and Jin Jin Huguo," Dean Li laughed: "Those two, Yan Jing graduated several years ago and is already a Level 29 Yuan Martial Artist, his strength is no less than mine."

Li Yuan listened.

Calculating it, this Senior Yan Jing.

Is only about 30 years old now, and has already become a Level 29 Yuan Martial Artist; his cultivation speed is already very terrifying.

"The other one named Jin Jin Huguo is our school's current number one genius, and also the only student from our school to break into the top 100 in the 'Virtual Competition' of this year's February Global University Martial Arts Tournament."

"The only one?" Li Yuan was a bit surprised and couldn't help but say: "The seniors in their fourth and fifth years, could it be that not one of them could keep up with Jin Jin Huguo?"

"Seniors in their fourth and fifth years have cultivated longer, so naturally there are those comparable to him, or even stronger."

"However, the Global University Martial Arts Tournament only allows students up to their third year to participate at most."

"The Global University Martial Arts Tournament is divided into virtual combat and actual combat."

"For virtual combat, you need at least fourth-stage skills to be qualified to participate."

"And for actual combat, you need to be at least a Yuan Martial Artist to participate," Dean Li sighed with emotion: "Jin Jin Huguo isn't a Yuan Martial Artist yet, so he could only participate in the virtual combat in the last session."

Li Yuan was dumbfounded; so that was it.

Wanting to become a Yuan Martial Artist before the fourth year is indeed difficult.

"As for what you asked about fourth and fifth years," Dean Li laughed: "What the fourth and fifth-year seniors can participate in is the Human Martial Arts Elite Battle."

"That is an actual combat tournament where all martial arts elites from all martial arts universities of the entire Seven Star Alliance can participate."

"It is also the highest honor that all martial arts universities pursue."
