Chapter 34

The next day at 10:30 AM.

Starfire Martial Hall, Guanshan Branch, 6th floor.

Inside a meeting room decorated in a quite archaic style.

"Li Yuan, sign your name here, here, and here..." Instructor Xing, whom he had met yesterday, pointed one by one to the places on the contract that needed signatures.

Li Yuan listened, sat in a chair with his aunt Chen Hui, and began to sign his name one by one.

Li Yuan and his aunt had already checked this contract one by one last night.

Everything was very clear, and there were no problems.

After Li Yuan and Chen Hui finished signing, Instructor Xing took the document to Hall Master Wan, who was waiting on the side.

A B-level contract must be signed by the Hall Master.

After the signing was finished, the staff who had been waiting for a long time immediately took photos and videos.

Following that, they uploaded the document to the virtual network.

"Hum~" Li Yuan's smart ring vibrated; looking down, he had already received a message from the virtual network—a notarized document.

It was sent by the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Bureau.

"Such fast speed," Li Yuan sighed secretly.

"Li Yuan, you keep a copy of the document; on the virtual network, you should have also received the electronic contract, which has been notarized by the Martial Arts Bureau."

"It truly has legal effect," Hall Master Wan stood up, smiled, and extended his hand. "Welcome, you have officially joined the Starfire Martial Hall."

"Thank you, Hall Master Wan," Li Yuan stood up and shook hands.

Toward Hall Master Wan, Li Yuan felt extremely grateful in his heart.

"According to the contract, we will provide you with 1.5 million Blue Star coins, 1.5 million Martial Hall points, and 3 million Martial Hall training points annually for 6 years," Hall Master Wan said. "Within today, the cash will be directly deposited into your card; the points and training points will also appear under your name once you handle the 'Martial Hall Member Certification' in a moment."

"In addition, the 1 million Blue Star coins and 1 million points I am sponsoring you privately will also be in place today, so don't worry," Hall Master Wan smiled.

"Yes, good," Li Yuan nodded.

"As for the specific matters that follow, Instructor Xing will take you to handle them," Hall Master Wan smiled. "If you encounter anything you don't understand later, or anything Instructor Xing can't solve, contact me, and I will handle it for you."

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded; he subconsciously looked at Instructor Xing on the side.

Hall Master Wan's last two sentences seemed to be said to Instructor Xing.

But Instructor Xing's face was full of smiles, and no emotional changes could be seen.

Immediately.

Hall Master Wan greeted Chen Hui again and left with two subordinates.

"Li Yuan, the signing is complete."

"Since you just joined the Starfire Martial Hall today, you don't need to go to school," Xu Bo, who hadn't spoken until now, said in a low voice. "Get familiar with the Martial Hall environment first, and come back to school tomorrow."

"Yes, good," Li Yuan nodded quickly; it was cultural classes in the morning, and it would be too late to go back anyway.

Afternoon and evening? Both were martial arts self-study classes, so it was the same wherever he was.

"Old Xing, I'll trouble you with this student of mine," Xu Bo looked at Instructor Xing.

"Small matter," Instructor Xing was very enthusiastic. "It's my honor to be able to guide Li Yuan."

Only Li Yuan, his aunt, and three Martial Hall members including Instructor Xing remained in the meeting room.

"Li Yuan, Ms. Chen," Instructor Xing smiled. "Follow me; let's handle the identity certification for you two first, and then I'll take you to introduce the entire Martial Hall building."

"Do I need to handle it too?" Chen Hui was stunned for a moment.

"Ms. Chen, Li Yuan has joined our Starfire Martial Hall; normally, two family cards can be handled, and family members can also enjoy some of the Martial Hall's benefits," a black-clothed martial artist on the side smiled. "For example, free lunch, dinner, free martial arts classes on weekends, free martial arts rooms, free physical therapy, etc."

Li Yuan sighed secretly.

Previously at school, he had heard that official members of the Martial Hall had many benefits.

Looking at it now, the benefits of the family card alone were worth quite a lot of money.

"So good?" Chen Hui was happy first, then hesitated. "Can only two be handled?"

"Yes, Li Yuan belongs to the L3-level members of the Martial Hall and has the authority for two family cards," the black-clothed martial artist nodded.

"Forget it, I won't handle it," Chen Hui shook her head.

She wanted to save the two spots for Li Muhua and Li Qianqian.

"Ms. Chen, don't worry," Instructor Xing on the side smiled. "I'll gift you two W3-level membership cards; you just need to bind one, and the benefits are the same as the family card, for a period of six years."

"After six years, maybe Li Yuan will have already been promoted to L4-level or even higher, and there will naturally be more family spots; how about that?" Instructor Xing smiled.

Chen Hui looked at Li Yuan.

"Aunt, Instructor Xing is being kind; accept it," Li Yuan spoke; he vaguely understood what was going on.

This was Instructor Xing showing favor to him.

Not accepting it would be bad instead.

... After handling the identity certification and membership card certification, Li Yuan officially became a reserve member of the Starfire Martial Hall.

And his aunt Chen Hui, after visiting for a while, left first.

Only Li Yuan remained alone.

Following Instructor Xing into the 7th floor.

"The entire building."

"The first to sixth floors we just saw are open to the public for business, such as the sale of various auxiliary cultivation treasures, paid physical therapy rooms, paid martial arts rooms, martial arts classes, weapon classes, etc.," Instructor Xing introduced to Li Yuan. "The 7th to 12th floors are usually only accessible to internal members of the Martial Hall."

"Among official members, L1 and L2 levels are only equipped with public martial arts rooms, shared by many people."

"L3 level, besides martial arts geniuses like you who can sign a B-level contract, are middle-level management and high-level martial artists; so-called high-level martial artists refer to at least Level 16 martial artists," Instructor Xing smiled. "All will be equipped with individual martial arts rooms."

As he spoke.

Instructor Xing had already led Li Yuan to the front of Martial Arts Room '7024', handled the identity certification, and opened the door.

Immediately.

A quite spacious martial arts room appeared in Li Yuan's line of sight, with an area definitely exceeding 400 square meters.

"So big," Li Yuan's eyes flickered.

This was much better than the independent martial arts room at school.

The area was more than twice as large, all kinds of technological equipment were more complete, and there were specialized physical therapy rooms and lounges.

Even if it didn't catch up to Teacher Xu Bo's office overall, it was about the same.

"The backend identity certification has been completed; from today, for six years, the usage rights of this martial arts room belong to you," Instructor Xing smiled. "Of course, there is a one-month trial; if you feel uncomfortable, you can propose a change."

"Belong to me for use?" Li Yuan felt quite happy in his heart.

Six years of usage rights were enough.

Ordinary wealthy families, like Wan Xiao's family with assets of at least tens of millions, couldn't build such a martial arts room either.

Time passed.

After lunch, another hour or so passed; through Instructor Xing's introduction and explanation, Li Yuan gradually understood the entire operation process of the Martial Hall, the personnel structure... and what he should do next.

"Li Yuan, the specific details of the Martial Hall are all on the virtual network," Instructor Xing smiled. "If there's anything you don't understand, just come find me directly."

"Good, thank you, Instructor Xing," Li Yuan smiled. "When I have a chance later, I will tell Hall Master Wan."

"Haha, then thank you very much," Instructor Xing smiled.

Seeing him off.

Li Yuan returned to Martial Arts Room 7024; although it was a fully enclosed martial arts room, the air was extremely fresh.

"My spiritual power matter has been kept confidential; this Instructor Xing probably doesn't understand why I could sign a B-level contract," Li Yuan shook his head secretly. "Maybe he even thinks I have some special relationship with Hall Master Wan, which is why he's so careful."

Otherwise, as the Chief Instructor of the entire Guanshan Branch, his status was only below the main and deputy hall masters.

Why be so polite to a high school student like him?

Suddenly.

"Drip—" the doorbell rang, and the scene outside the door was displayed on the screen at the entrance.

It was the food delivery robot, exactly the meal Li Yuan had ordered ten minutes ago.

Retrieving the meal, Li Yuan went to the table at the end of the martial arts room and began to eat.

"Really hungry."

Li Yuan ate heartily. "Two portions of nutritional meals, only 40 points? But they are even better than the 50 Blue Star coin nutritional meals at school."

"Instructor Xing was right; in the Martial Hall, points are more useful than equivalent Blue Star coins."

After eating.

Li Yuan didn't rush to train, but used the high-level virtual network pod in the martial arts room.

Entering the virtual world.

"Enter Starfire Space," Li Yuan's consciousness connected, and he gave the command directly.

Hum~ the space changed.

"Respected L3-level member, welcome to Starfire Space; I am your exclusive AI..." a pleasant voice sounded.

"Change the butler's name to 'Xiaoyu', with the appearance of an ancient young girl," Li Yuan said directly.

"Yes," a purple-clothed young girl appeared in front of Li Yuan. "Xiaoyu is at your service, Master."

Li Yuan ignored her and began to check this virtual space, for which he had just obtained access permission.

Starfire Space is the 'exclusive space' of the Starfire Martial Hall.

Only Starfire Martial Hall members and Starfire Martial Hall members can enter.

"My Starfire level." Li Yuan's gaze fell on the panel next to him:

Name: Li Yuan (Number 2042100806492)

Affiliation: Xia Nation—Jiangbei Province—Jiangcheng City

Level: L3

Points: 2,499,960

Training Points: 2,800,000

"2.5 million points, of which 1.5 million points are provided by the B-level contract, and another 1 million points are gifted by Hall Master Wan," Li Yuan thought secretly.

By querying the user manual and combining it with Instructor Xing's previous introduction, Li Yuan quickly understood.

Points are essentially the internal currency of the Starfire Martial Hall and can be used to purchase various items and services.

From various auxiliary cultivation treasures, such as basic blood-qi potions, first-rank blood-qi potions, spirit-nourishing potions, Source Force essence pills... to various precious weapons, spear technique secret manuals, Source Force secret manuals, etc.

This is regarding martial arts cultivation.

Regarding daily life, such as financial management, renting or purchasing villas and houses, purchasing luxury cars, private jets and yachts, legal agency, purchasing daily necessities, priority for hospital beds... as long as it involves every aspect of life, the Martial Hall can help solve it.

The premise is being willing to spend enough points.

"Points are indeed more useful than money in many things," Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

The experience of today had a huge impact on him, truly opening Li Yuan's horizons.

Allowing him to come into initial contact with... the world of martial artists.

"Point acquisition, one is through employment, holding a position in the Martial Hall, and completing it is like a salary, receiving a sum every month," Li Yuan thought secretly. "The second is completing various tasks of the Martial Hall, for example, going into the Star Realm..."

Li Yuan only glanced a few times and didn't pay attention to the point acquisition methods.

It had nothing to do with him for the time being.

"A little guy like me with a physical fitness of only Level 7, what points can I earn?"

"I'm only a reserve member, not an official member."

"The Martial Hall let me come here just to let me spend money."

"What I need to do now," Li Yuan's eyes had a glow, "is to use the points and money gifted to me by the Martial Hall."

"Improve the family, and... improve strength," Li Yuan's eyes had a glow. "Strive to get into the five major prestigious schools and become a martial artist."
