Chapter 63

Ye Beichen sat down opposite Chen Fan, took out a contract, and handed it over.

"The school will provide you with a scholarship of ten million per year, and at the same time, arrange for an Eighth-order Peak Grandmaster to personally guide your cultivation. In addition, you will be allocated a detached villa for your residence."

"Student Chen Fan, as a fellow countryman, I won't deceive you. These terms are absolutely the highest offer any school can make!"

Chen Fan listened attentively. Although he hated the man in front of him, it didn't mean he wouldn't choose Kyoto University.

To be honest, ten million and a detached villa didn't hold much attraction for him.

But an Eighth-order Peak instructor—that was impressive.

Eighth-order Peak is only one step away from a Martial Saint; they are already considered figures standing at the pinnacle of Daxia.

With such a powerhouse's protection, he could grow safely and boldly.

Before Chen Fan could express his stance, Ye Beichen continued.

"I have already watched your combat video. Your strength is decent. I guess you should have an S-rank ability—Thunder Pole Body!"

"Your talent is passable. If you can obtain the title of Excellent Graduate four years from now, I can absorb you into my ability squad—the Beichen Battle Team! I wouldn't give this opportunity to just anyone."

Although Ye Beichen's words sounded pleasant, in reality, he felt that Chen Fan was quite inferior to his younger self.

How could Chen Fan not hear the arrogance in the other party's words? He couldn't help but curl his lip inwardly.

"S-rank ability? Who are you looking down on? You didn't even ask, yet you think I can only have an S-rank ability?" Chen Fan sneered in his heart.

But on the surface, he always appeared extremely satisfied and eager.

"Then many thanks to Grandmaster Ye. I will definitely consider Kyoto University's terms seriously."

"Hmm." Ye Beichen nodded and stood up, preparing to walk out.

"My next stop is Taishan City. If you've made up your mind, you can call me!"

After Ye Beichen left, Zhang Zongwen hurriedly began to persuade him.

"Chen Fan, the terms offered by Kyoto University are indeed the top-tier ones. Every year's provincial top scholar receives this standard."

"And if you go to Kyoto University, with Ye Beichen, this fellow countryman, covering for you, you will definitely be able to thrive."

Zhang Zongwen held Ye Beichen in extremely high regard.

Chen Fan, however, sneered in his heart: "Covering for me? Does this young master need him to cover for me?"

Even if he went to Kyoto University, it would be to sharpen his blade against Beichen.

Zhang Zongwen was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Chen Fan.

"Alright, Old Zhang, let's wait and see the terms offered by other universities tomorrow before deciding!"

Early the next morning, a long line formed at Chen Fan's doorstep.

Those who came were all admissions officers from various major universities.

The person from Shanghai University was an old man; he looked kind, but he was also a Grandmaster.

Like Ye Beichen, he concluded that Chen Fan's ability was the S-rank Thunder Pole Body.

His words carried strong confidence; he believed Chen Fan would definitely choose Shanghai University.

There was no other reason: among the current instructors at Shanghai University, one of them happened to have the Thunder Pole Body ability! It was just that this person was only at the Seventh-rank Late Stage.

"Student Chen Fan, what's suitable is the most important thing. You will never regret joining Shanghai University. You will receive the most professional guidance, and four years from now when you graduate, you might have the chance to enter the Fourth-rank Ability User level!"

"At that time, you can choose to stay at the school as a teaching assistant, and that teacher of yours can continue to guide your cultivation."

Chen Fan shook his head after listening. Why were these people always so self-righteous?

Could you at least ask about my ability?

Is what you think really what it is?

Next, he met with teachers from Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, and a host of other schools.

The foundations of these schools were ultimately no match for Kyoto University and Shanghai University, and the terms they offered were barely satisfactory.

It wasn't until the arrival of the National Martial Arts University that Chen Fan became interested again.

This time, it wasn't just one person who arrived, but three together!

This already demonstrated the importance National Martial Arts University placed on him!

The leader among them was named Zhang Kun, and he went straight to the point.

"Student Chen Fan, we have repeatedly studied your combat videos and do not believe your ability is the Thunder Pole Body!"

"The close-quarters combat and long-range output of the Thunder Pole Body are both a cut below yours, so we guess that what you awakened should be an SS-rank ability!"

Chen Fan nodded; finally, someone who knew their stuff had arrived.

Seeing Chen Fan nod, the three of them, despite having already guessed it, were still startled.

The three exchanged glances, secretly delighted; this time, they had to secure this "Hidden Dragon" Chen Fan no matter what.

Zhang Kun pushed up his glasses and said: "Student Chen Fan, you should know that the other-dimensional space codenamed Thunder Abyss is located in Chang'an City, right? You could say it's right on the doorstep of the National Martial Arts University."

"Our National Martial Arts University's research on thunder-type abilities can be said to be the best in the country, so you can rest assured in joining us."

"Also, you should have heard the story of the White-Clad War God, Luo Zhangsheng, right?"

"Luo Zhangsheng?" Chen Fan frowned slightly, but soon had the answer.

"I've heard of him. It's said he was the first person in Daxia's history to pass the Martial Examination as a liberal arts student!"

Zhang Kun nodded and said: "That's the one. Nowadays, he is known as the number one person under the Martial Saint. Back then, it was the National Martial Arts University that targeted his constitution and provided him with the opportunity for a second awakening."

"And what he awakened was also an SS-rank ability, the Chaos Thunder Body!"

"Although Lord Luo currently serves in the military, he still holds the position of Honorary Vice Principal at our school!"

"If you can be favored by him and taken as a disciple, your future will be boundless!"

Chen Fan nodded. This person's strength was indeed astonishing; he was one of the few people he admired.

But he also knew that such a person was proud and arrogant, and he feared it would be difficult for him to enter the other party's eyes.

After pondering, Chen Fan said: "I understand everything you've said, but it's not attractive enough for me. I heard that a new other-dimensional space appeared in Chang'an City some time ago, and it's said that dragons exist inside?"

The three couldn't help but be surprised. Very few people outside knew this news; they didn't expect Chen Fan, a person with no background, to know it.

Chen Fan added: "Joining the National Martial Arts University is not impossible, I just need a dragon egg."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kun smiled mysteriously.

"Student Chen Fan, I can tell you that for this recruitment, our school has indeed prepared a dragon egg, but its ownership belongs to the strongest freshman of this year!"

"We will organize a Freshman Competition at that time. Student Chen Fan, if you have confidence in your strength, this dragon egg will naturally be yours!"

"A clever calculation indeed!" Chen Fan was speechless in his heart; the National Martial Arts University would likely lure many students to participate with this one move!

Chen Fan didn't agree immediately; he picked up the contract and looked at it carefully.

The National Martial Arts University couldn't offer him much; only three million in scholarships per year, and the dormitory was actually just a suite.

What is a suite? It's a large room divided into several smaller rooms, with each person living in one room!

Seeing Chen Fan frown, Zhang Kun said somewhat awkwardly: "Shaanbei Province is, after all, not as good as the big cities, and the economic conditions are much worse. This is already the highest offer we can make."

Chen Fan sighed in his heart and didn't rush to make a decision.

He stood up and said: "Many thanks to the three teachers. I will definitely give serious consideration to our National Martial Arts University."
