High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Kunlun Martial University, New Senior Brother

Sitting in the short-distance aircraft prepared by the Martial Hall, heading to the airport.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan noticed his smart wristband vibrating. He glanced down, his eyes slightly moving.

It was a message from Lin Lanyue.

They hadn't seen each other since the Jiangbei Martial University invitation event.

Before and after the college entrance exam, Li Yuan had wanted to meet Lin Lanyue to thank her in person.

However, she had not returned to Guanshan District No. 1 High School.

Li Yuan had asked Gu Qianghan about her.

He only confirmed one thing: Lin Lanyue had indeed returned to take the college entrance exam, but her exam site was assigned to Guanshan District No. 2 High School.

Moreover, she had not returned to her home in the "Starry Sky South Lake Community."

Where exactly she was living now, Gu Qianghan didn't know either.

V-chat? Li Yuan had tried several times to send messages to Lin Lanyue, but they all disappeared without a trace.

It seemed as though she was deliberately avoiding him.

Li Yuan hadn't expected that just as he was about to set off for Kunlun Martial University, Lin Lanyue sent a message.

The message was not long.

"Li Yuan, I saw all the messages you sent. The last time I saved your uncle was just a coincidence; I happened to hear about it from Teacher Xu Bo, and my brother happened to pass through Jiangcheng with Flame Tulip Nectar in hand. You don't need to worry too much. Also, congratulations on getting into Kunlun Martial University. It's the best martial arts university in China. I believe you can become a Flying Martial Artist in the future. Keep up the good work!"

Li Yuan stared at the content on the screen, lost in thought.

A coincidence?

Was it really a coincidence, or was it an excuse Lin Lanyue made up so he wouldn't feel burdened?

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan replied, "Thank you regardless. If there's anything I can help with in the future, please let me know. I also wish you smooth sailing at Starry Sky University."

Maybe it had been too long since they last met.

Or perhaps after what happened with Li Changzhou, Li Yuan realized the significant gap between them.

Their words seemed somewhat polite.

Lin Lanyue's college entrance exam martial arts score was first in Guanshan District, second in Jiangcheng City, and third in Jiangbei Province.

The top scorer in Jiangbei Province's martial arts category was Wu Dongdong, the second was Wang Yu, and the third was Lin Lanyue.

Lin Lanyue was successfully admitted to Starry Sky University.

She was also the only student from Guanshan District to be admitted to one of the three top global universities.

After a while.

"Alright, see you again if fate allows." Lin Lanyue replied.

Li Yuan stared at the screen for a long time, sighed softly, and eventually did not reply.

He closed his smart wristband.

Resting with his eyes closed.

Soon.

"Li Yuan, we've arrived at the airport." A low voice sounded, "You can check in and board the plane once you enter the terminal."

Clang~ The cabin door opened.

"Thanks, Instructor Xing." Li Yuan opened his eyes, seeing Instructor Xing sitting in front of him.

"Between us, there's no need for thanks. Go to Kunlun Martial University and train hard. I look forward to seeing a Flying Martial Artist emerge from Guanshan District." Instructor Xing smiled, "Don't worry about home. I'll arrange for the Martial Hall people to keep an eye on things."

"If anything major happens, I'll report to the Hall Master."

"Thanks a lot." Li Yuan nodded.

Living in the South Lake Starlight Community for the past few months, Li Yuan had met many martial artists from the Martial Hall.

People like Instructor Xing and Fang Longhu lived in District 3 and had good relationships with Li Yuan.

Additionally, Li Yuan had great confidence in his uncle Li Changzhou's capabilities.

Moreover, he left 2 million Blue Star coins at home, so he wasn't too worried about his family.

Half an hour later.

A large aircraft took off from Tianhe Airport, heading towards the Longxi Province.

...

In the central large villa of the Starry Sky South Lake Community.

In the first-floor living room.

"Sis, it's only two kilometers away, yet you won't go see him?" The young man in blue smiled.

"No need." The girl sitting on the sofa shook her head lightly, "I know him. He's a proud person."

"Now he must feel he owes me a huge favor he can't repay... What's there to say if we meet?"

"Awkward small talk?"

"Or watch him stammer thanks?" Lin Lanyue looked at the young man in blue.

The young man was speechless.

"Let's wait."

"I believe there will be a day we meet again." Lin Lanyue stood up, her delicate face calm, "By then, I believe he will be able to face me calmly."

"Aren't you afraid you won't see him again?" The young man looked at his sister, "Aren't you afraid he'll fall for someone else?"

He felt that his sister had changed a lot over the past six months.

Gradually shedding her childishness, becoming more composed, decisive, and resilient.

Truly starting to grow up.

Besides that, there was a vague, unbloomed feeling.

The girl was silent for a long time, finally whispering, "I trust my judgment."

"If I'm wrong, I'll bear the consequences." Lin Lanyue smiled, "Second brother, let's go."

"From Jiangbei Province to the Lantis Continent, it's over 30,000 kilometers."

"Today's the last day to report, don't be late."

...

Taking a large aircraft to Longxi Province, then transferring to a small aircraft.

By 3 p.m., Li Yuan finally arrived at Kunlun Martial University.

"Kunlun Martial University." Li Yuan sat by the window of the aircraft, looking far into the distance.

He could see it from afar.

In the vast, boundless land, there were countless villas, buildings, airports... The most striking was the colossal, futuristic war fortress.

This was Kunlun Martial University. The overall layout was similar to Jiangbei Martial University, even smaller in scale.

After all, Jiangbei Martial University had 40,000 to 50,000 students, while Kunlun Martial University only had 10,000 students annually.

But!

That war fortress was towering, far surpassing the one at Jiangbei Martial University.

"Kunlun Fortress." Li Yuan murmured, recalling the name of the fortress.

This fortress was one of the top ten tallest war fortresses in northwest China.

Nearly 900 meters high, covering almost 20 square kilometers, an absolute giant.

The other nine? Most were located around the Luo Bu Sea Astral Realm.

The aircraft quickly approached.

"Indeed!"

"Except for the teaching buildings, it's all villas." Li Yuan marveled, "According to the admissions guide, each student gets a single villa, equipped with an aircraft, housekeeper... allowing every student to focus entirely on training."

At Jiangbei Martial University, only the top 5% of students enjoyed such treatment.

But at Kunlun Martial University, everyone had it, even better.

Li Yuan's gaze shifted, seeing a vast, dragon-like mountain range in the distance.

It was the number one mountain range in China— the Kunlun Mountains.

"The ancestor of all mountains, Kunlun." Li Yuan murmured, "The name of Kunlun University has deep meaning."

...

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" Several students disembarked from the aircraft with Li Yuan.

Today was the last day for registration.

And it was already afternoon, so almost all the students had completed their registration.

Therefore, the "Welcome New Students" banner at the distant terminal building had half fallen off, with no one caring.

"Li Yuan, over here, come quickly." A clear-looking young man called out loudly.

Next to him was a burly young man, followed by more people.

Seeing them, Li Yuan smiled and walked over quickly, "Gu Qiang, Haifeng, long time no see."

He greeted them with the customary boys' greeting — a chest bump.

That's right!

Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng had also successfully gotten into Kunlun Martial University.

Including Li Yuan, they were the only three students from Guanshan District No. 1 High School to get into the top five universities.

Coming from the same high school to the same university naturally made their relationship closer, and they had been in touch early on.

Before setting off.

Li Yuan had sent messages to Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng, informing them of his approximate arrival time.

"Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan." Behind them were thirty or forty people, all greeting Li Yuan.

"Are you all from Jiangcheng?" Li Yuan hesitated, recognizing some familiar faces.

"Yes."

"Li Yuan, we all attended the Jiangbei Martial University invitation event together. You might not remember us well, but we all remember you," a tall, thin boy smiled, "My name is An Nong."

"Li Yuan, I'm Tong Zhi."

"My name is..." Dozens of people introduced themselves quickly.

"Alright, I vaguely remember you all." Li Yuan smiled.

Seeing a large group of fellow townspeople and acquaintances.

The initial unfamiliarity of being far from home was largely dispelled.

"Why are you all here?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled. It was one thing for Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng to pick him up.

But the others?

They looked familiar, but not familiar enough to warrant this reception.

"What else? Waiting for you, the new senior brother of the Sixth Academy." Gu Qianghan glared, "You, the new senior brother of the Sixth Academy, arrived last? No sense of responsibility."

"New senior brother?" Li Yuan was confused.

He had just arrived.

How did he become the new senior brother?

"No time to explain. Rankings close at eight, and our academy is only sixth. Li Yuan, get on the aircraft," Gu Qianghan urged, "I'll explain on the way."

"Your registration procedures should all be done in Kunlun Space, right?"

"Yes, villa 61032." Li Yuan replied.

This number meant the Sixth Academy, villa 1032.

"Right next to me, I'm in 61031." Gu Qianghan smiled, "Finish the task first. Let's boost our academy's ranking."

"To the Xuanwu Building."

"Ranking?" Li Yuan was even more puzzled, having just arrived.

But he still followed Gu Qianghan onto the aircraft.

The aircraft was a four-seater, essentially a "flying car," suitable for short distances.

Each student had one, with intelligent driving and the ability to travel anywhere within the school. When needed, it could be summoned directly.

When not in use, it would automatically return to the villa for recharging, parking, and cleaning.

"Students at Jiangbei Martial University seem to travel on foot," Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

He recalled the scenes during the invitation event.

"The level of universities is different, so the training schemes are naturally different," Gu Qianghan said, "The weakest students at Kunlun Martial University are comparable to their strongest."

Li Yuan smiled but remained unconvinced.

Perhaps it was true for new students.

But by the second or third year, it might not be the case.

...

Flying at low altitude along the road, Li Yuan saw many other aircraft passing by.

All carrying Kunlun Martial University students.

"Level 13 martial artist!"

"Level 16 martial artist!"

"Source martial artist." Li Yuan casually glanced around, using his mental palace to observe that most people were below level 15.

Very few were above level 18.

Source martial artists? Very rare, and on the way, Li Yuan only saw a few.

Excluding new students.

Martial artists were everywhere, level 15 and above were common, and source martial artist students existed — this was Kunlun Martial University.

One of the top two martial arts universities in China.

Along the way, Gu Qianghan quickly briefed Li Yuan, letting him grasp the general situation.

"The Eight Academies competition, pre-enrollment points ranking? The total points of the top 200 students from each academy?"

"Deadline tonight at eight?"

"The top-ranking academy, each student gets a 20,000 Blue Star coins reward; the top individual scorer gets 500,000 Blue Star coins?" Li Yuan listened to Gu Qianghan.

"Are you all from the Sixth Academy?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How come you're all so concentrated?"

There should be less than a hundred students from Jiangcheng who got into Kunlun Martial University.

And Kunlun Martial University had eight academies.

"Because of you!"

"You chose to join the Sixth Academy, so half a month ago when you told me, I immediately contacted these fellow townspeople, urging them to join the Sixth Academy to support you." Gu Qianghan said excitedly, "Anyway, if someone has to support you, it might as well be us."

"Li Yuan, other provinces' students may not know, but we all know."

"Your low college entrance exam ranking was due to the extra points. In terms of raw scores, you were the top in Jiangbei Province."

"But in university, it's all about real strength!"

"Top talents like Wu Dongdong, my sister, and Tian Dazhuang, who could compete with you, all went to Starry Sky University and Starlight University."

"In terms of strength, if you don't claim the top spot among new students at Kunlun Martial University, I don't believe anyone else can!" Gu Qianghan's eyes gleamed, "Li Yuan, I said before, my sister is out of reach."

"For the next five years of university, I'll be relying on you."
