Lu Chenzhou’s speech was also very brief.
Five minutes later, after bowing to the seniors and the audience, he stepped down from the stage. In this era, what the general public most wanted to see was the rise of ordinary people, not so fake inspirational stories that end up being the tales of noble disciples.
"It’s true, effort is still necessary!"
"Martial Arts is just like that, valuing hard work and dedication."
"I rember a Grandmaster once said, even if soone has the lowest class root bone and the dullest comprehension, as long as they are willing to work hard, there is hope for reaching Fourth Rank in this life."
Many young people were greatly inspired.
As for the old hands, they’d had their fill of ’chicken soup.’ A rise from a low-class root bone? It certainly was possible, but to think one could achieve Sixth Rank in one year like Lu Chenzhou? Impossible!
This Lu Chenzhou, he either had top-level comprehension with ample resources, or the Martial Bone Dao Embryo had appeared, and it just hadn’t been discovered by him and the school yet.
Principal Wang applauded and said,
"I hope all the young people in Da Xia can be like Lu Chenzhou, no matter what situation they find themselves in, not to be arrogant or impatient, never giving up the heart that reaches out earnestly towards Martial Arts!"
He, too, had only recently learned of Lu Chenzhou.
As a top-level fighter, he had seen quite a few prodigies who reached Sixth or even Seventh Rank at Lu Chenzhou’s age, but to Breakthrough Sixth Rank within a year... not many.
Actually, there was no need to wait for the winter exam; with his power, he could bring Lu Chenzhou into the university right now. However, everything has to abide by the rules, and the winter exam was only a month away.
There was no need to tarnish his reputation over this.
He looked at Lu Chenzhou, who was being surrounded by the crowd below.
This young man’s spirit was filled with a sincere heart towards Martial Arts. As long as he could maintain it, he just happened to be looking to support a commoner prodigy from Su City to enhance the influence and popularity of Dragon City Martial Arts University.
The opening ceremony ended.
Dragon City Martial Arts University announced the first batch of winter class students for the 21st session. Since the school had just been established, it had missed the timing for the college entrance exam. Thus, there weren’t many students in this batch, just over 200 in total, many of whom were from low-class root bones discovered through martial arts academies or were Instant Enlightennt individuals who entered society.
The students mainly ca from the four major cities around Huantai Lake: Su City, Xicheng, Chang City, and Hu City. These four cities were densely populated and economically developed. For a long ti, there were only two decent Martial Arts Universities: Pingjiang Martial Arts University and Xicheng Martial Arts University.
The establishnt of the Dragon City Martial Arts University branch was just the beginning. Next, other Martial Arts Universities’ branches will also be established in the Huantai Lake urban cluster, forming a situation of many stars surrounding the moon. They absolutely could not allow the Taihu Virtual Calamity to erupt on a large scale, let alone spread across the country.
...
Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall.
"Congratulations, Senior Sister, you are about to go to the university to register."
"It’s great, Dragon City Martial Arts University."
"In my dreams, I only dare to dream of Pingjiang Martial Arts University."
The students looked at Shi Ruyu with great reluctance. The Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall had clearly beco more populated during this period due to the fa opened by Lu Chenzhou, and Old Ji was raking it in.
Shi Ruyu also felt a bit moved:
"I will still co to the Martial Arts Hall in the future. University is not like high school. Students just need to attend classes, complete exams, and tasks. It’s not under a closed-campus managent."
Du said:
"That’s good."
Everyone looked at Lu Chenzhou.
"Chenzhou, will you also go to the branch campus in a year and a half?"
Lu Chenzhou hadn’t yet told everyone about the matter of his exemption from examination for college admission.
"Perhaps."
Old Zhang laughed and said:
"That’s good, coming from the sa Martial Arts Academy, you can still look after each other. I heard it’s much harder to get by in university than in high school, take care."
Shi Ruyu explained:
"In high school, all resources are distributed by the school. In university, you have to fight for them yourself. The competition is indeed fierce. However, by treating people with sincerity, you can still make many good friends. Of course, you can’t be too careful; caution is necessary."
She had university experience, so it was no trouble for her.
She looked at Lu Chenzhou, wondering if he would be able to adapt.
After Ji Xuantong ca out, he laughed and said:
"Let’s go, I’m treating today, ’Heavenly Immortal Wild Toast’!"
He was in a great mood.
During this ti in the Su City Martial Arts Hall’s circle, he could be said to have been the center of attention, everyone knew he had taken on an incredible True Inheritance. First place in the Su City Exchange Contest, an outstanding student from Dragon City, and shaking hands with a Breakthrough Fifth prodigy among the top hundred of All Nations.
At the banquet, Old Ji was filled with emotion. In order not to sadden the other students, he didn’t overpraise Shi Ruyu or Lu Chenzhou, but simply told everyone to work hard.
"I don’t deny Chenzhou’s high comprehension, but if he hadn’t worked hard, could he have achieved today’s success? If a docuntary about Chenzhou could be fild, truly recording one day in his life, you would all know what real effort is!"
Old Ji had a lot to say.
After the banquet, he gave his last advice to Shi Ruyu:
"Apprentice, once you’ve settled into university, when you’ve got things sowhat figured out, if anyone else from our academy makes it to Dragon City, you’ll need to support them. Friends made in your weaker monts on the path of Martial Arts are the truest... Because when you beco powerful, with people flocking from all sides and thousands looking up to you, everyone will claim to be your friend."
"I understand, Teacher."
"And Ji Feiyan, I won’t stop her from coming to Su City if she wishes to. By then, you sisters should support each other and take care of Chenzhou. After all, he’s still young and needs to work hard. Eventually, we will all be one family."
Old Ji spoke from the heart.
When the gathering ended, everyone returned ho.
Shi Ruyu drove Lu Chenzhou to the entrance of Fangshan Martial Arts School.
She smiled and said,
"From now on, we’ll be neighbors too, Junior Brother. Keep up the hard work."
Lu Chenzhou felt a little excited himself.
"Senior Sister, let’s sprint to the end on the Martial Arts road this ti!"
Not being able to stay on at Pingjiang Martial Arts University had once been Shi Ruyu’s biggest regret.
...
The next day, the new students at Dragon City Martial Arts University officially started their school life, and Lu Chenzhou returned to his normal high school life, training from dawn with the tigers as his companions.
Five o’clock in the afternoon.
After finishing his Fist Technique class, Lu Chenzhou looked at the Martial Arts Tree.
[Tiger Spirit Divine Fist: Beginner (60%)]
[Sea Sweeping Body: Great Success (100%)]
...
"The ’Mountain Crossing Body’ really is a versatile movent technique, compatible with any Tiger Form fist. Eight months of cultivation, and I’m finally approaching Perfection... It wasn’t easy."
Lu Chenzhou had started learning the ’Sea Sweeping Body’ even earlier, but because Tiger Form fist was his main focus, the intensity of cultivating ’Mountain Crossing Body’ far surpassed the forr, eventually surpassing it.
"I’ll strive to reach Perfection today and witness the Divine Seed born from this movent technique."
Holding onto this expectation, Lu Chenzhou ate dinner and then trained late into the night at the training ground, like a fierce tiger patrolling and hunting in the mountains, his gaze bright and fierce.
"Senior Brother Lu, would you like to spar?"
He hadn’t been practicing long when he heard Wang Caiying’s voice.
"Co on up."
"Okay."
Wang Caiying got into position, feeling that she had deepened her understanding of combat recently and thinking she must have improved... at least to the point of fighting to a draw, hopefully.
"Fists and feet are blind, protect yourself well."
After giving this reminder, Lu Chenzhou started Hard Qi Gong and launched himself forward. After a round of sparring, he felt that Wang Caiying had indeed beco stronger.
It wouldn’t be difficult to defeat her within fifty moves, but Lu Chenzhou was in no rush. He wanted to refine ’Mountain Crossing Body’ to Perfection in a real fight.
He deliberately lowered his attack strength and started a war of attrition with Wang Caiying.
After about an hour of sparring, Lu Chenzhou suddenly unleashed a ferocious assault, a series of powerful and unstoppable moves like back hand pulls and spinning kicks; Wang Caiying felt increasingly exhausted, her limbs sore and numb, hurting not only her but herself as well when she struck Lu Chenzhou.
This was no way to fight.
Cross Training was just too overbearing.
Having had enough, Lu Chenzhou moved around to her back with his movent technique, delivering a powerful Tiger Tail Leg strike to Wang Caiying’s buttocks. The young girl’s form retreated on the wooden post to dissipate the force, trying to stabilize, as Lu Chenzhou pressed the attack, unleashing a Tiger Claw that could ruin an airport, knocking her off the post.
Wang Caiying stood up holding her buttocks and said with a smile,
"Senior Brother, I lasted an hour this ti!"
"Then you’re impressive."
"It’s alright, but I’m still not as good as you, Senior Brother. Teacher says I have low base strength."
"You’re still young... goodbye, I’m going to rest."
"Next ti, I’ll hold out for two hours!"
Feeling excited about her progress, Wang Caiying enthusiastically returned ho to reflect on her failures and gains.
She never considered that Lu Chenzhou might have been letting her win.
Lu Chenzhou looked towards the Martial Arts Tree, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled upward.
