Chapter 128: 0118 College Student Xiao Lu

He hung up the phone, and Lu Chenzhou started calculating.

"Conserve the Bright God Potion, it should last five months, the Golden Jade Ointment will last ten months; use other medicines in combination with the Bright God Potion, so I won’t need to spend money on medicines for at least half a year, which is more than enough for mastering the Hua Realm."

Having become a master of the Hua Realm, he could take on relatively safe reward tasks from schools and the Martial Arts Association, and continue to earn money by selling lessons, which would make money come easier.

Not long afterward.

Shi Ruyu’s car stopped in the plaza outside Dragon City Martial Arts University, where the majestic Taihang Soaring Dragon statue stood, with many people taking photos and checking in.

The two went to the academic affairs office to report and collect their enrollment items.

Shi Ruyu asked,

"Junior brother, you are in the genius class, aren’t you?"

"Yes."

"Then you’re in Class 1. The Su City branch was just established and hasn’t recruited any top-class root bone students. To my knowledge, including you, Class 1 only has eight people. The other seven are from the main campus to make up the numbers. Those who are admitted to the genius class are all extraordinary. Many have been taken away from their families since childhood to be trained at Dragon City Martial Arts University and lack normal social interactions; their personalities are quite varied... Just be mentally prepared."

Lu Chenzhou seriously said,

"No worries, senior sister, I’m easy to get along with."

Shi Ruyu laughed heartily,

"I trust you, it’s the others I don’t trust. If a conflict occurs, don’t be too impulsive, prioritize seeking help from teachers and the school to handle it according to the regulations."

"By the way, which class are you in, senior sister?"

"I’m in Class 2. Our Martial Arts University’s Su City campus only has 10 classes, Class 1 is the genius class, and the other nine are regular classes, each with about twenty people. Top Martial Universities have strict admission standards and usually teach in small classes."

"Got it, thank you so much for today, senior sister."

"Alright, go back and rest. Tonight you can meet with your classmates and teachers, and then officially start classes tomorrow. You, being in the genius class, generally don’t need to worry about staying on after the four years. I’m going to keep working hard."

Shi Ruyu left breezily.

Compared to the resource-based free high schools, university elimination happened every four years. If you failed to meet the standards after four years, you could not continue to stay and study.

Otherwise, you could keep studying indefinitely. If one could become a Martial Artist, they could obtain a lifelong learning status. Whether you stay on campus or not then wouldn’t matter; as long as you have the money and Great Merit, you could always go to the university to study Martial Arts and exchange resources.

Some people, after becoming Martial Artists, would leave school to start their own Martial Arts Halls and earn money, thereby financially supporting their own Martial Arts Cultivation, such as Ji Xuantong. Others wouldn’t leave; they would take on the more dangerous tasks assigned by the school to earn Great Merit and money, or become university teaching assistants or high school teachers. In any case, Martial Artists were a scarce resource desired everywhere, including Top Martial Universities.

...

Near Stone Lake on campus.

The scenery here was beautiful, with a villa area by the water. Following the address on his registration form, Lu Chenzhou’s heart trembled slightly as he arrived.

"People in the genius class actually live in villas?"

He somewhat felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

For one, his family was of ordinary means and had never lived in a villa. Secondly, to his knowledge, Shi Ruyu and the others in regular classes stayed in campus apartments, which still required an accommodation fee of fifty thousand yuan a year; the annual cost for this kind of villa would normally be three hundred thousand.

But now, he was living here free of charge.

Accommodation fees for the genius class were waived for the first four years.

After four years, if he wanted to continue living in the villa, he would have to pay. The issue was that it wasn’t just about having money; he must maintain the Class A Martial Arts talent qualification to be eligible to live there.

"The people living here must be teachers of Dragon City Martial Arts University, right? Tomorrow I’ll ask a teacher if I can bring my parents to live on campus. It’s a waste for me to live alone."

He didn’t want to bother Grandmaster Ji all the time. His parents disliked the feeling of depending on others as well. Originally, Lu Chenzhou’s plan was to rent a family house for his parents after staying on campus. Now, he deeply appreciated the value of being a Class A talent.

With a light step, Lu Chenzhou arrived at his dormitory, number 32.

By the lake in front, someone was fishing. It appeared to be the neighbor from number 31; he had a thermos next to him, sitting on a small stool with his back to the world, solitary fishing for eternity.

"Good gracious, quite leisurely."

Lu Chenzhou thought inwardly.

Splash! A fish was about to bite, and the man was thrilled, readying his net after a struggle, but then he missed his chance as the fish started to escape.

"Trying to run?"

In his haste, he slammed his palm onto the water.

A seemingly casual slap raised a wave several meters high, stunning the large carp, weighing at least five kilograms, and it floated on the surface of the water.

Even with only that palm strike, he was clearly at the Martial Artist standard.

Lu Chenzhou was stunned. Could fishing really be done this way?

The man scooped up the fish with a net and said contentedly,

"Thought you could escape, huh? How could I possibly sleep tonight?"

Swinging the fish, he leapt home in just a few bounds.

He seemed younger than Lu Chenzhou had imagined.

He looked at Lu Chenzhou and smiled,

"Are you the new little genius?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded blankly,

"Yes, are you a teacher here?"

The man laughed,

"Yes, I teach Dragon Form Fist. Are you learning Tiger Form?"

"Hello, Teacher. Yes, I practice Tiger Form."

Lu Chenzhou marveled at how perceptive the man was to have figured that out.

The young teacher chuckled,

"I knew it! You’ve got the look of a tiger about you. I’m heading home now. I’m making West Lake Vinegar Fish tonight. Want to try some?"

Lu Chenzhou quickly shook his head.

"No, thank you."

...

Villa No. 32.

After moving in, Lu Chenzhou meticulously checked every corner of the room three times and turned on all the Yang Flame Lamps. Even on campus, one cannot be too careful.

Anything can happen.

"Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two Martial Arts Rooms..."

Having lived in cramped quarters for so long, Lu Chenzhou found it hard to get used to such spacious surroundings at first. He video-called Li Xianghua, showing his mother around his new dwelling.

"It’s so big; doesn’t this place cost over ten million?"

"All the campus houses are property of the Martial Arts University. We students can only rent them; buying is not an option. I’ll ask the school tomorrow if families can come over."

"That’s great; we finally made it into the family compound, haha."

The initial hope of Lu Guoping and his wife was that by the age of 30, Lu Chenzhou would support them in their old age. Now, still a minor, he had already changed the fortune of their family, allowing them to enjoy blessings and ensuring them a carefree next life. Happiness had come too quickly.

After hanging up, Ji Xuantong’s call came through.

"Chenzhou, you’ve started school, right?"

"Mm-hm, I’ve moved into the dormitory."

"Hehe, Mr. Li is at the branch school too; I’ve greeted him already."

Mr. Li, Qingtian Cang.

In the past, he had been Lu Chenzhou’s Grandmaster.

"Thank you, Teacher. When will eldest martial sister come?"

"She’s busy trying to break through to Ninth Rank; it’ll take some time."

"I wish her all the best in her promotion."

By the time he finished tidying up his room, it was already nine at night.

Lu Chenzhou stuck a poster of Cangtian Dragon King in his bedroom.

"Another step closer to the peak."

Exhausted from the day’s travel yet practice in Pile Skill Cultivation could not be skipped. Suffering through the pain, he practiced till midnight before going to sleep.

Lying in bed, he stared at the calendar.

"February 2, 2222... I’ve started at Martial Arts University."
