Chapter 39: 0039 Happy Events One After Another (3 more updates, please follow and ask for monthly tickets)

On the other end of the phone, Ji Xuantong put down his cell phone.

"I just knew it, that my two disciples could make it!"

He hadn’t felt this elated in a long time.

The evaluation of "sudden enlightenment" isn’t very high because current technology can only test root bone, which will definitely overlook some comprehension geniuses. These individuals will be gradually uncovered during subsequent cultivation and usually be tagged with the moniker "sudden enlightenment."

Sudden enlightenment means you’ve entered the state’s observation list.

Next, the state will incrementally increase their stake in you, investing in you. If you can maintain or become even more formidable, then the state will provide more and more resources. But if you’re a flash in the pan, the state will unmercifully shelve you, relegating you back to the ordinary masses.

Such is the cruelty of society.

And this is still in Da Xia. If it were another country, those without innate root bones would have almost no chance of turning things around; any avenue for advancement is blocked by those who have already achieved it.

In the game of kings and nobles, is there room for commoners?

Da Xia leaves many opportunities open for ordinary people.

"Damn, I need to make a breakthrough to the second rank soon."

Every time he chats with Qingtian Cang, he would be met with that soul-searching question.

Suddenly,

Old Ji’s phone rang, it was his daughter Ji Feiyan.

[Dad, did you accept Lu Chenzhou as your true inheritor?]

"Yeah."

[Okay, but don’t get your hopes up too high, I’ve seen many like him in school... I’m afraid your expectations might be too high, which would only lead to greater disappointment.]

"Don’t worry, your junior sister and junior brother both passed."

There was silence on the other end of the line, Ji Feiyan clearly hadn’t expected that.

[...You’re not lying to me?]

"Why would I lie to you, silly kid?"

[I can understand with Shi Ruyu, after all, she’s already at Seventh Rank, and the school usually gives such students a chance to rush towards becoming a Martial Artist... but Chenzhou, I really hadn’t expected.]

"Heh, judging people still takes your dad’s eye! You’re not up to it!"

[Fine, fine, you’re great, I won’t argue with you.]

In any case, this was good news.

Ji Feiyan also hoped her family’s Martial Arts Academy could grow stronger.

"I’m off, have to get busy, Dad."

[Nothing else, Dad. Do you need me to come help out at the academy’s exchange competition next month? I can have a friendly match with talents from other academies.]

"No need, focus on your studies, and break through to the First Rank for me to see."

[Don’t worry, old man. Goodbye.]

After hanging up, Ji Xuantong passed the good news on to his wife. She also praised his insight and good luck for finding two promising Martial Arts seedlings in half a year.

At last, Ji Xuantong arrived at the training ground.

"Chenzhou, Ru Yu, come with me."

The brother and sister who were sparring stopped in their tracks. Seeing how serious the master was, they knew what was likely coming and couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous.

Not because they were fickle:

Opportunities don’t come to those who wait; they had to seize them!

...

In the Martial Arts Room, Ji Xuantong sat with a serious demeanor.

"Your test results are out."

Lu Chenzhou tried to remain calm and composed, ready to accept any result. He knew that he couldn’t lose heart from failure; he had the Martial Arts Tree.

A momentary setback was nothing on his path.

Shi Ruyu’s forehead glistened with a fine sheen of sweat.

Taking a deep breath, she asked,

"Master, how did it go?"

Ji Xuantong took a sip of tea and smiled,

"You both made it, preliminarily judged to have sudden enlightenment. Keep working hard, steadily progress, and your achievements won’t fall short of those with intermediate root bones!"

Hearing this, they both let out a huge sigh of relief.

Lu Chenzhou looked up, striving to keep his emotions in check.

Shi Ruyu, feeling a surge of emotions, finally said excitedly,

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Senior Qingtian Cang! Thank you to the school!"

Ji Xuantong said:

"You all need to calm your emotions; this is just the beginning. The road ahead is still long. By the way, Chenzhou, you don’t need to apply for the special enrollment at Pingjiang Martial Arts University anymore. Next, you’ll transfer to the Su City branch of the high school affiliated with Dragon City Martial Arts University, and you can simply take the college entrance exams with the martial arts students there when you’re in your senior year."

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said:

"Understood, student."

He felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

He had worked hard for nearly ten years for Pingjiang Martial Arts University, never expecting that he would ultimately give up the special enrollment exam... because he had a better option.

Of course, he had to go through the college entrance examination to get into Dragon City Martial Arts University. But with the martial arts school’s teaching staff and resources, coupled with his Martial Arts Tree, he was completely confident.

A contented Lu Chenzhou asked:

"What about senior sister next?"

Ji Xuantong said:

"She’s of age and rank to go directly to Dragon City Martial Arts University. But let me clarify, because of the adjustments from North Martial moving south, the Dragon City Martial Arts University campus you will be attending is in Su City. The teaching staff might be slightly weaker than the main campus... But this doesn’t affect you at all. Once you become a Martial Artist, you can exchange for the martial arts and resources of both the main and branch campuses through points earned at Martial Arts University and money."

Both said they didn’t mind; getting into a top martial arts university was good enough, even if it was a branch campus. The overall teaching power and resources were much higher than Pingjiang Martial Arts University.

Moreover, both of their families lived in Su City. They were born and raised here, had feelings for the city, and didn’t really want to leave; attending the branch campus was even better.

Shi Ruyu asked:

"Teacher, will the branch campus be completed this year?"

Ji Xuantong nodded.

"It’ll be finished by the end of the year, located right next to Stone Lake in the Outer City District, on the old site of Stone Lake University. Congratulations, Lu Chenzhou, the value of your house is going to rise."

Lu Chenzhou felt a pang in his heart.

Li Xianghua had always wanted to move to the Inner City, but now there was no need. The increase in value of their modest old house might be worth more than what Lu Guoping could earn working for ten years. His father had always lamented how others had better luck, and now it was their turn.

...

In the evening.

At the entrance of the neighborhood.

"Goodbye, senior sister."

Lu Chenzhou waved his hand.

"Go back home; your parents are going to be too excited to sleep tonight."

Shi Ruyu rolled up her car window, and the car slowly departed.

Building 3 of Stone Lake Garden, Apartment 2802.

"Mom, is dad back yet?"

"He’s back, what’s up?"

"I have something to tell you."

Li Xianghua called Lu Guoping out of the bedroom where he was watching a drama.

The old couple looked at Lu Chenzhou, somewhat puzzled.

"I’ll be transferring to the martial arts school soon."

"Huh? Why? Haven’t the special enrollment exams started yet?"

Lu Chenzhou then told them about the visit from people from Dragon City Martial Arts University a couple of days ago. Hearing this, his parents were speechless for a while, feeling as if they were in a dream.

So much had happened in just a few days... Advancing to Third Rank, being taken as a True Inheritance disciple, and now transferring to a martial arts school; who would believe it?

"You’re not going to finish high school?"

"No more high school. The martial arts school and university also have cultural education, but as electives. I can make up for it any time when I have time later; martial arts come first."

Li Xianghua was trembling with excitement.

"Good... very good, that’s wonderful."

Lu Guoping took several deep breaths.

"So you’re saying, you’ve already got one foot in the door of Dragon City Martial Arts University? And you don’t even have to leave Su City; you can go to university right at our doorstep?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded.

The old couple burst into tears of joy. The grievances and hardships they had endured over the years now seemed irrelevant. They were overwhelmed by immense happiness, not yet realizing the immense benefits the establishment of the branch campus would bring to the area.

"Wuu wuu..."

Lu Guoping hugged his sobbing wife, Li Xianghua.

Lu Chenzhou quietly returned to his room to practice his punches.

His parents needed some time to process their emotions.

He thought about how he would say goodbye to his teachers and classmates tomorrow.

The martial arts fanatic from Wanhua High School was finally going to transfer to a martial arts school.
