Chapter 198: Access Permission Activated

Xu Kuang took the water bottle and drank it all in one go.

"I don't worry about the Zaoji Tower ranking at all now; let him surpass it, I don't mind."

The girl took the empty bottle from Xu Kuang's hand and curiously said, "You're right, the National Newcomer Ranking is the most prestigious list; after secluding yourself for so long, how's your blade technique coming along?"

"Not much progress; maybe I'm not suited to using a blade…"

Xu Kuang gave a wry smile, "I've trained hard for so many days, only got the moves a bit more proficient; I really don't know how those people grasp Blade Intent…"

Speaking of Blade Intent, Xu Kuang suddenly thought of something, "I heard several freshmen this year are geniuses who have attained Blade Intent and Sword Intent; those guys are really lucky."

"Yes, this year's Martial Top Scholar in the martial exam comprehended Blade Intent, and a descendant of an ancient martial family grasped Sword Intent. But don't underestimate yourself; Intent is something you encounter, not force, maybe one day you'll have a sudden enlightenment!"

The girl opened her phone, looking for some Lu Jing videos to show Xu Kuang, and suddenly saw a newly pinned post.

"That Martial Top Scholar really knows how to cause trouble; posts about him hit the hot list every day…"

As she opened the video, a flash of surprise and emotion crossed her eyes.

"Xu Kuang, come quick, Lu Jing's Blade Intent has already reached great attainment!"

The girl hurriedly called Xu Kuang over, "He defeated Hong Yongchun with a blade in the training hall this morning; the whole process was recorded!"

"What?"

Xu Kuang was slightly stunned, took the phone from the girl, "What the hell, how old is he? If I recall correctly, Hong Yongchun came out of the military, his combat ability is strong, how could he lose to him?"

The girl glanced at the comment section, learned the cause and course, "It seems Hong Yongchun suppressed his strength, and lost only because they compared pure blade technique…"

"So that's the terrifying part of Intent!"

Xu Kuang let out a long sigh, feeling as if abandoned by the heavens.

Anyone who sees someone younger and more capable feels a tinge of lament.

"Lu Jing is no ordinary guy; I have a feeling that soon he'll break into the Top Ten of the Mufu ranking!"

Xu Kuang's expression turned complex, "No! It should be that he bursts into the National Newcomer Ranking; give him more time, maybe he can enter the Newcomer Ranking in his freshman year, breaking a record never seen since the ranking was established!"

"Ah, never mind him, we're both about to graduate," the girl turned off her phone, stepped forward and hugged Xu Kuang, "It's meal time, you treat me to a meal!"

"Alright, my treat, let's go."

Lu Jing's actions in the training hall quickly spread throughout the whole campus.

Now, any student you pick at Mufu Martial University can accurately recount Lu Jing's various deeds there.

Compared with earlier videos of a single move slaying senior students, a direct defeat of a combat instructor is undeniably more visually striking.

One could say it's two concepts, making even the previously disgruntled seniors involuntarily exclaim two words: awesome!

As for this storm that spread from online to reality, Lu Jing didn't care at all.

He still eats when he should, sleeps when he should, and practices martial arts upon waking; no one bothers him.

Having just finished a set of "Stellar Chronicle Refinement Body Technique", Lu Jing suddenly heard the phone beside him ring.

It was an unfamiliar local Kyoto number.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, classmate, I'm NieZhenghao, Vice President of Mufu Martial University; do you have time this afternoon to come to the office?"

"Sure."

Lu Jing agreed and hung up.

"Vice President… what do you want with me?"

With a question in mind, Lu Jing walked toward the school office building.

Ordinary martial artists can easily get lost in the vast campus, but Lu Jing, possessing a spiritual domain, can always pinpoint the correct path.

"The Vice President's office is right here."

Lu Jing stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Through his spiritual domain, he could see through the door that a "Sun" was sitting on the office chair inside.

This is a manifestation of Blood Qi being dense to a certain degree.

Just by using spiritual power to look, he inexplicably felt his eyes a bit stinging.

"Come in!"

A deep, resonant voice came from the office.

Lu Jing opened the door and saw Vice President NieZhenghao with a kindly smiling face.

Lu Jing carefully observed with spiritual power; NieZhenghao's Blood Qi was even stronger than Situjun's, could he be in a Realm above Martial Artist?

If he were a Martial Emperor, that would be a bit exaggerated…

"Lu Jing, you're very punctual, please have a seat."

NieZhenghao smiled, gestured Lu Jing over, and personally pulled out a chair for him.

"Thank you, President."

Lu Jing politely nodded in thanks.

NieZhenghao's demeanor was refined and easygoing, nothing like a high‑ranking official.

He resembled an old man playing chess on the street, giving a friendly, relaxed impression.

"Lu Jing, I'm glad you chose our school; as President, I'm delighted with your joining."

NieZhenghao first said some polite small talk.

"You've been quite popular around campus lately; wherever you go, people talk about your deeds. A few days ago you actually defeated that kid Hong Yongchun, which really surprised me!"

Lu Jing smiled modestly, "It was just luck; Teacher Hong was suppressing his strength at the time."

"I called you here today to discuss your future plans at the university," NieZhenghao got to the point, "Your strength exceeded everyone's expectations; many courses are at a level you could directly complete."

"So I want to grant you early access permissions at Mufu Martial University; what do you think?"

"Grant access permissions?"

Lu Jing froze for a moment and asked in puzzlement, "I don't know which permissions the principal is referring to."

"They are permissions that only senior students have, and they are quite challenging for you."

NieZhenghao explained, "For example, mission permissions and Cave restrictions, I can unlock them for you, so you can take missions early and complete all credits."

As long as you complete all credits, you can apply for graduation at any time and step onto a bigger stage!

After hearing NieZhenghao's explanation, Lu Jing felt something stir in his heart.

For ordinary students, unlocking these permissions early is not a good thing.

Wuda University sets these restrictions to protect freshmen, giving them a novice protection period.

But for Lu Jing, this protection period actually limits his growth.

"Alright, principal, then please help me unlock the permissions."

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Jing nodded in agreement.

With all these permissions opened, he is confident he can graduate early from the whole Wuda University within one to two years.

By then, whether he chooses to join the military department or take another path, he will save a lot of time.
