~12 min read 2,274 words

Inside the room.

"Our training contract is definitely better than the Starfire Martial Hall's A-level contract," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji kept throwing out his conditions, bewitching Li Yuan.

The conditions were indeed very generous.

"Senior Ji."

"I have already signed with the Starfire Martial Hall," Li Yuan shook his head and said.

"Signing doesn't mean you can't breach the contract," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji smiled: "We will pay the breach fee for you, you don't have to spend money."

"No."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Senior Ji, a large part of the reason I can grow so fast is the help of the Starfire Martial Hall. Other things can be discussed... but for this matter alone, please forgive this junior for not being able to do it."

Li Yuan had his own bottom line.

Back then, when Hall Master Wan signed him, according to his performance, he was only worth a C-level contract, which was already an overpayment.

Later, the Martial Hall arranged a series of resources for training, which was why he could make such great progress within half a year.

As a person, one cannot forget one's roots.

The most important point was that after returning from here, he could try to reach the Meteor rank on the Starry Sky Fighting Network... at that time, his B-level contract with the Starfire Martial Hall could also be upgraded to an A-level contract.

The university's special training contract and the Martial Hall's training contract were independent of each other and did not interfere with each other.

But training contracts like those of the Starfire Martial Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, Martial Arts Hall, or other large groups could only be signed once.

These were explicitly stipulated in the "Warrior Law".

"Haha, alright, then I won't force it," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji smiled, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

He hoped Li Yuan would agree.

However, if Li Yuan really agreed immediately, he would instead despise Li Yuan in his heart... this kind of psychology was not contradictory.

"Li Yuan, I appreciate you more and more," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji smiled: "How about this, I represent the Jiangbei Province Military Region and sponsor you 1 million Blue Star Coins."

"Don't refuse this," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji smiled.

"This? One million?" Li Yuan was slightly shocked.

"Rest assured, there are no other requirements," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji smiled: "This is a pure sponsorship. Although you cannot join the military, if you can grow up and contribute to the country in the future, does it matter whether you join the military or not?"

Li Yuan felt a hint of emotion in his heart and couldn't help but say: "What about Wu Dongdong and the others?"

"Them? Not needed!" The thin and tall officer surnamed Ji shook his head and smiled: "We only feel it's worth it to give resources to someone like you, so it won't be wasted."

Li Yuan was speechless. He vaguely understood why only Tian Dazhuang and himself were called over.

Backgrounds that were too strong were instead not welcomed.

"Come, let's take a sponsorship photo," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji smiled: "Later, there will be a sponsorship contract sent to your virtual personal space. Rest assured, there will be no restrictions."

"One million Blue Star Coins, will arrive within a week."

……

After sending Li Yuan away, the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji leisurely drank tea and waited for another two minutes.

Clang~ The officer surnamed Wang walked in with a smile on his face.

"Did it work?" The thin and tall officer surnamed Ji asked.

"It worked," the officer surnamed Wang nodded: "Signing with the Martial Arts Hall, there will always be a future assignment, why can't it be given to our military? I will report it later and let the higher-ups make arrangements."

"A martial arts genius like Tian Dazhuang is not easy to snatch," the burly officer surnamed Wang smiled: "What about you?"

"It didn't work," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji shook his head and sighed: "This little guy Li Yuan is really good, what a pity."

"It's normal that it didn't work, after all, the Starfire Martial Hall has already signed him."

"If you just promised a few words and he wanted to breach the contract, then you would have to consider it carefully," the officer surnamed Wang smiled: "If you think he's good, why don't you help him?"

"How to help? Our sponsorship authority is only 1 million at most," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji was puzzled.

"Haha, I'm smarter than you today," the officer surnamed Wang revealed a smile: "Who said sponsorship is the only way to help?"

"We just need to reveal to the outside world that we tried to recruit Li Yuan with an 'S-level contract' and were still rejected, and then let the news pass to the Starfire Martial Hall."

"As long as the Starfire Martial Hall isn't stupid, they naturally know what to do," the officer surnamed Wang smiled.

"I only promised an A-level contract, we don't have the authority for an S-level contract," the thin and tall officer surnamed Ji frowned.

"The Starfire Martial Hall doesn't know we didn't get authorization from above," the officer surnamed Wang didn't care.

"If it gets blown up, what if the higher-ups ask why we promised an 'S-level contract'?" The thin and tall officer surnamed Ji was still a bit worried.

"Someone is spreading rumors! Besides, no one will ask about such a small matter, the higher-ups are under my dad's management."

……

On the playground.

Li Yuan and Tian Dazhuang walked together toward the train in the distance.

Li Yuan's height had already reached 185, quite a bit taller than Tian Dazhuang.

"Li Yuan, did you sign?" Tian Dazhuang asked in a muffled voice, unable to help but speak.

The two of them had remembered each other a few days ago, but this was their first exchange.

"No," Li Yuan shook his head and asked directly: "Did you sign?"

"Haven't fully decided, have a preliminary intention," Tian Dazhuang smiled: "I was specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall, and after graduating from university, I have to be assigned anyway."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Joining the military is actually quite good."

"Yes."

"But my dad wants me to return to the county in the future, saying that I should strive to be a Martial Arts Bureau Chief," Tian Dazhuang said in a muffled voice: "Saying it's not only safe but can also bring honor to the ancestors."

Li Yuan also said casually: "My aunt previously wanted me to be a martial arts school teacher, saying that I could live a peaceful life."

After hearing each other, the two were silent for two seconds, then looked at each other and laughed out loud.

They laughed very frankly and wantonly.

Then, the two walked toward the train together with big strides.

No more words were needed, both understood each other's thoughts and ambitions.

A youth shaking his clothes, can it not be seen as a wind banner through the ages; a youth's blink can also be thought of as a clear stream through the ages.

Youth is always full of hope and moving forward.

This is youth.

……

After shuttling through the Star Realm entrance, Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue, and the others arrived at the underground train station of Jiangbei Martial Arts University.

Getting off the train, going upstairs.

After uniformly returning their weapons and equipment and changing back into their clothes, all the students walked out of the building one after another, sat on the sightseeing car, and headed toward the cafeteria.

It was not yet six o'clock, the sun was setting in the west, and a breeze blew, making people feel very comfortable.

"The feeling of coming back is really good," Wu Dongdong stretched, quite emotional.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, after experiencing life-and-death fighting in the Moon Demon Star Realm, only after coming back could one better feel the preciousness of peace and tranquility.

"How is it, Li Yuan?" Lin Lanyue asked softly from the side: "Did you agree to join the military?"

"Didn't agree," Li Yuan said: "But the military promised to sponsor me 1 million Blue Star Coins, without making any requests."

Giving without asking for anything in return?

To be honest, when the officer surnamed Ji spoke, Li Yuan was a bit suspicious, but the whole process was indeed flawless.

They didn't ask him to sign, let alone sign electronically on the virtual network immediately.

"How did you know the military would look for me?" Li Yuan asked in a low voice.

"The military's sponsorship targets."

"Usually follow three standards," Lin Lanyue said lightly: "First, the potential is large enough, with hope of becoming a Flying Warrior."

"Second, the family background is not wealthy."

"Third, they prefer to sponsor students with a sense of justice and patriotism."

"You fit perfectly," Lin Lanyue smiled: "The practical assessment was first again. The military admires actual combat power the most, not exam scores, so I guessed you would definitely be chosen."

"Amazing," Li Yuan said sincerely.

Li Yuan realized that Lin Lanyue seemed to know everything about the operation of the Moon Demon Star Realm like the back of her hand, even the military's affairs were so clear.

Her background was probably beyond his imagination.

"What is the military's purpose?" Li Yuan felt slightly puzzled: "And they don't make requests."

"If one day in the future, you become a Flying Warrior, and the military has any action that needs the help of a Flying Warrior, they will invite you," Lin Lanyue smiled: "Will you come?"

Li Yuan froze for a moment.

"Flying Warriors, in a sense, their personal power already transcends the secular world and cannot be constrained by simple laws. It relies more on emotional ties," Lin Lanyue continued.

Li Yuan nodded, already understanding Lin Lanyue's meaning.

If the military encounters a major crisis and needs some Flying Warriors to fight, what should they do?

It's not to say that if an order is issued, the Flying Warriors will strictly execute it.

The strength of Flying Warriors gives them the qualification to say 'no'.

The military's operation reminded Li Yuan of the rewards of Jiangbei Martial Arts University, which were essentially 'forming good karma'.

However.

Jiangbei Martial Arts University casts a wide net, while the military only chooses from the top students.

"Let's go."

"Let's eat first," Lin Lanyue smiled: "You consumed so much during the day, you should eat more at night."

"Eat! Eat!" Wu Dongdong beside them became excited: "I'm going to eat six portions today."

Several people laughed.

Li Yuan had long discovered that although Wu Dongdong came from a prominent family, he was never picky about food.

Like a reincarnated glutton, he didn't refuse anything.

……

Night fell, and after eating, Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan returned to the dormitory.

Clang~

Li Yuan took the big spear directly from the weapon cabinet.

"Hmm? Li Yuan, aren't you tired? Still want to cultivate today?" Gu Qianghan looked at Li Yuan like he was looking at a monster.

"Let's practice for a while longer," Li Yuan laughed.

Tired? Naturally tired.

Can he not practice? He cannot.

"I'm off, I'm off," Gu Qianghan shook his head: "You continue practicing, I'm going to sleep."

Clang~ Gu Qianghan closed his room door directly.

Li Yuan smiled lightly, his gaze fell back on the long spear, his smile faded, and he practiced the spear silently.

Swish! Swish!

The spear shadows flickered like rolling stars, unstoppable, and his body was like a swimming dragon, changing unpredictably like the wind.

Star Spear Technique and Dragon Movement Technique were practiced in coordination with each other.

For Li Yuan, although his body was exhausted, his movement technique had just broken through to the fourth stage today, so it was time to consolidate his cultivation.

Being able to improve a little more was good.

Qualitative change stems from quantitative change.

"Fourth-stage cultivation is to dig deeper into the body's potential on the basis of body-mind unity," Li Yuan thought to himself: "The speed of progress is obviously much slower than the third stage."

This practice lasted until after nine o'clock, sweat slid onto the ground, and Li Yuan's body was exhausted to the extreme.

Only then did he truly stop.

"【Your movement technique realm has improved from fourth stage 1% to fourth stage 2%】" Li Yuan swept his peripheral vision over the reminder from half an hour ago.

"Wait until after twelve o'clock at night."

"The seven-day cooldown period for the promotion tournament ends, and I can try the 'Meteor Promotion Tournament' again," Li Yuan was quite expectant in his heart: "Last time I broke into the global top 1000, my skills were only at the third stage perfection."

And now?

Whether it was his spear technique or his movement technique, both had completely entered the fourth stage; his strength had surged by a large margin compared to last time.

"At that time, there will be another 500,000 Blue Star Coins."

……

Just past ten o'clock, after taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Li Yuan felt extremely comfortable all over.

He sat cross-legged on the soft bed.

The soundproofing system in the room was very good.

"Gu Qianghan should be asleep."

"Now let's see what 'Yuan force into the body' is," Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, and his consciousness had entered the mental world.
