High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 70: S-Rank Special Training Contract

"If your comprehension is lacking, having only physical talent and mental talent will at most make you a source warrior, barely a B-level genius," Dean Li continued.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The Starlight Martial Hall initially offered him a B-level contract, which was already generous.

Over the past six months, his progress had been astonishing, but if his skills didn't break through to the fourth grade, he would barely reach A-level.

The gap between the perfection of the third grade and the fourth grade of skills was very significant.

"You have top-level talents in all three aspects, which means 1+1+1>5, with no weaknesses," Dean Li said solemnly. "The biggest obstacle on your way to becoming a level 29 source warrior is advanced cultivation methods."

"For ordinary source warriors, the death rate in creating methods exceeds 90%, because their comprehension is average."

"Moreover, even if they succeed by chance, most of them find it difficult to become level 29 source warriors, let alone become flying warriors."

"But you."

Dean Li looked at Li Yuan, as if he was staring at a piece of uncut jade, and smiled. "I think your success rate in creating methods can exceed 50%."

"As long as you don't die in the astral realm training."

"You have a fifty percent chance of becoming a level 29 source warrior, and there is even some hope of becoming a flying warrior. Why wouldn't you be worth an S-level contract?"

...

Dean Li and Teacher Fan Jin's explanations made Li Yuan vaguely see his own future path.

The path to becoming a level 29 source warrior, and even a flying warrior, was clear.

Of course, Li Yuan did not believe that he would smoothly become a level 29 source warrior, as there were still many challenges.

Dean Li's words were credible, but not entirely trustworthy.

It's like climbing a mountain; seeing the path ahead and actually reaching the summit are two different things.

"Seniors," Li Yuan said, "Even if I have potential, why did you come to me first among the four S-level candidates?"

"Because the other three S-level candidates are very likely not to choose one of the five major schools in China," Fan Jin smiled. "What is an S-level candidate? It is a martial arts genius on a global scale."

"The other three are very likely to choose Starry Sky University or Starlight University."

"We observers understand this, and those students themselves are also clear, so our motivation to find them is not that strong."

"The five major schools in China are good, but compared to Starry Sky University, they are indeed weaker," Fan Jin did not hide this fact. "Our main targets are still A-level students."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

As far as he knew, the top ten scorers in the Jiangbei province college entrance examination almost always went to Starry Sky University or Starlight University.

This had been the tradition for decades.

"What about me?" Li Yuan asked.

Dean Li and Fan Jin both laughed.

"Li Yuan, you have to understand," Dean Li said solemnly. "First of all, no matter how early you sign a contract, the final university admission is based on your college entrance examination results."

"When applying to the top three martial arts schools globally, your 'Young Hero' title adds no points, only your spirit points... This is a rule set by the strongest human, Dongfang Ji."

"The purpose is to eliminate all forms of manipulation."

"Unless you have an extraordinary talent in one aspect, for example, a fifth-grade skill," Dean Li said. "Then, even without a suitable advanced cultivation method, after being verified by the top officials of the three major martial halls, you can still be admitted based on a single talent. But just having a fourth-grade skill is not enough for special admission to Starlight University or Starry Sky University."

Li Yuan was speechless.

A fifth-grade skill? For a high school student? What kind of genius would that be?

But Li Yuan could understand. It's indeed fair to base everything on college entrance examination results, treating everyone equally.

"Secondly, your three talents are all top-notch... But the students at Starlight University and Starry Sky University have many top-notch talents like you," Dean Li looked at Li Yuan. "Do you think the managers of the top three martial arts schools would care whether you succeed in creating a method?"

"Even if you succeed in creating a method and become a flying warrior in the future, Starry Sky University and Starlight University wouldn't mind missing out on you."

"In history, they have produced many flying warriors," Dean Li sighed. "What they lack the least are geniuses."

Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Indeed, his skill level was excellent.

But looking globally, there were hundreds of peers like him.

"If you choose my Kunlun Martial University, aside from the lack of a cultivation method, your talent is the highest among all students," Fan Jin said with a smile. "Kunlun Martial University will do its utmost to support you in becoming a source warrior and creating methods."

"All kinds of precious cultivation resources will be prioritized for you, along with various techniques and guidance from many senior source warriors."

"Even when flying warriors come to the school to give lectures, you will have priority to attend," Fan Jin painted a grand picture for Li Yuan. "All of these will be clearly written in the contract."

Li Yuan pondered.

He couldn't get into the top three martial arts schools globally.

Then, Kunlun Martial University was indeed his best choice.

"Don't think that Kunlun Martial University is weak."

"The strongest human, Dongfang Ji, graduated from our Kunlun Martial University," Dean Li said proudly. "Nearly twenty percent of flying warriors in China graduated from Kunlun Martial University."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

His idol was Dongfang Ji, so he naturally knew Dongfang Ji's legendary experience... Graduating from Kunlun Martial University, he stood at the pinnacle of martial arts in just over a decade.

Among the five major schools in China, Kunlun Martial University and Xia Jing Martial University were slightly stronger than the other three.

Weakness was relative to the top three martial arts schools globally.

"Li Yuan, I'll send you the S-level special training contract first," Dean Li said. "Take a look."

Beep!

Li Yuan's smart wristband notified him of a new document.

Li Yuan clicked on it and quickly reviewed it.

There was a lot of content.

The resources and rewards were very generous.

However, Li Yuan remained calm. Upon deeper thought, he found that the benefits were not as good as Dean Li and Teacher Fan Jin had described.

The contract had many restrictions. If his progress was not fast enough, the subsequent resources and support would decrease, and the overall resources might even be downgraded.

But Li Yuan understood.

Cultivation resources were precious. If one's strength was insufficient, it was better to give the resources to someone more outstanding.

The same was true for entering Starry Sky University.

In this era, human civilization was constantly threatened with life and death.

Competition was everywhere, and there was no room for complacency.

Time passed, and Li Yuan scanned through the last page of the contract.

After waiting for more than ten seconds and seeing that Li Yuan was still deep in thought,

"Li Yuan, that's all for today. You have four more days," Dean Li said, standing up with a smile. "Xia Jing and Nanhai's martial arts universities will definitely come to you as well, so you can consider your options."

"Make the choice that is most beneficial to you."

"Teacher Fan and I will leave now. If you've made up your mind, you can respond to my invitation letter."

Dean Li and Fan Jin headed out of the meeting room.

Clang! Just as the door opened and before Dean Li could step out,

"Dean Li."

Li Yuan's voice suddenly called out, "No need to consider further. I am willing to sign this S-level contract."

Dean Li, with his back to Li Yuan, did not immediately turn around, but a smile had already appeared on his face.

The strategy of retreating to advance had succeeded.

Dean Li was increasingly satisfied with Li Yuan.

...

In the meeting room, both parties completed the electronic signing of the contract directly on their smart wristbands, and then submitted it for review and filing with the 'Martial Arts Department' and the 'Education Department.'

Within two minutes, the review was completed.

The legally binding electronic contract was sent to Li Yuan's personal virtual network space in real-time.

"Great!"

"Li Yuan, welcome to Kunlun Martial University," Dean Li said with a smile. "Believe me, this decision is not rushed at all."

"Here is my private V-number, add it."

"Thank you, senior," Li Yuan said, feeling flattered, and quickly added the private V-number with his smart wristband.

"Still calling him senior?" Fan Jin joked, "Call him Dean Li."

"Dean Li," Li Yuan nodded quickly.

"You can call me whatever you like," Dean Li said cheerfully. "After enrolling in July and being assigned to a department, whether you choose one of the six departments or not, you can come to me if you have any issues."

"If you have any questions about cultivation after returning to Jiangbei Martial University, you can always ask me. If I have time, I will communicate with you."

"Understood," Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, feeling warm inside.

Normally, after signing the contract, there was no need for the other party to be so considerate.

"Additionally," Dean Li said after thinking for a moment, "according to the contract, your first cultivation fund of one million Blue Star Coins will be disbursed within a week."

"But I must remind you."

"Your college entrance examination scores must reach the national threshold. In the coming months, you must not slack off in your cultivation," Dean Li cautioned. "If your scores do not meet the national threshold, we will be forced to terminate the contract."

"Understood," Li Yuan said solemnly.

The martial arts national threshold was the minimum score required by the five major schools.

According to the contract, if Li Yuan's scores were insufficient and the contract was terminated,

He would not need to return the one million Blue Star Coins.

...

After adding Fan Jin as a contact, Li Yuan escorted Dean Li and Teacher Fan Jin downstairs.

Just as they reached the door,

Boom!

A small aircraft descended slowly from the sky.

Two figures 'floated' down from the aircraft about seven or eight meters high.

"Dean Li? And old Fan?" The middle-aged woman in black robes landed gracefully, looking surprised.

Then, her eyes fell on Li Yuan, and she hesitated slightly, "Are you Li Yuan?"

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.

"What!"

"Old Li, how did you get here so quickly?" the woman in black robes couldn't help but ask, "Has Li Yuan already signed the special training contract with you?"

"Sister Liu."

The bald and robust Dean Li grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Sorry to make you come all the way for nothing. It's so late, how about we have some barbecue together to make up for it?"
