The Martial Arts University’s review committee had not released its results, but the teachers had already prematurely opened champagne. Especially Yu Zheng, who was in high spirits now. As the headteacher, having a student evaluated as Class A naturally meant a substantial performance reward.
After the celebration, Yu Zheng changed the topic, saying,
"It’s not easy to have a Class A candidate. I’ll need to trouble all the teachers to pay more attention and ensure Chenzhou’s personal safety while he’s at school." Fresh chapters posted on N()velFire.net
Hong Fu clenched his fist and exclaimed,
"Damn, if anyone dares to target Lu Chenzhou, I’ll hammer them to death! It’s not easy for the Tiger Form to find such a talent, and I’m counting on him to revive the glory of the Tiger Form!"
"Listen to you, when has Tiger Form ever been desolate?"
"It’s still not strong enough."
In Martial Arts, it’s an undisputed fact that the Tiger Form is stronger than the Lion Form, but compared to popular sects like the Crane Forms, Ape Form, and Bear Form, it still isn’t strong enough.
Hong Fu harbored a dream:
To make Tiger Form stand shoulder to shoulder with Dragon Form by birthing someone who could Breakthrough Seven!
What made Dragon Form indisputably first, aside from the dragon being a mythical creature with a revered status, was another crucial reason:
The Cangtian Dragon King!
Even the president of Galaxy Martial University, Breakthrough Sixth, Taixing Absolute Saber·Li Jin, sincerely called him,
"World’s Number One in Dragon Form!"
July 13, early morning.
At the summit of Fangshan, Wang Jidao bathed in clouds and mist.
After completing his morning class, he looked down the mountain, his eyes narrowing.
"This kid’s aura is different, could he have reached the Fifth Rank?"
His form flashed like an ascending golden dragon, vanishing among the forest.
Watching the proficiency of Tiger Supreme Fist improve.
Lu Chenzhou had finished his cultivation for the day and stood still to regulate his breath.
"Fellow student, visiting the tigers again, I see."
Suddenly, a voice reached him, and Luo Chenzhou turned around.
"Student has seen Master Wang!"
"No need to be nervous, just supremely bored and wanted to chat."
Master Wang sat down in mid-air, without a stool, even managing to cross his legs—an attitude Lu Chenzhou could mimic, but not sustain.
To a Grandmaster, it was all too ordinary.
Lu Chenzhou stood obediently, waiting for the Grandmaster to speak.
Wang Jidao grabbed at the air, his palm like an invisible whirlpool, astoundingly drawing a park bench from several dozen meters away, settling it neatly behind Lu Chenzhou.
"Have a seat, we’ll just chat for a bit; it won’t take too long."
Lu Chenzhou wasn’t pretentious.
"Chenzhou, how do you find Dragon City Martial Arts University?"
His response left Master Wang silent.
He coughed and then asked,
"And what do you think of Galaxy Martial University?"
"That’s also very good."
"Compared to the two?"
"Both are pretty good."
"You know, the Cangtian Dragon King is also a graduate of Galaxy Martial University."
"The student is aware."
"Back in the day, I and the Cangtian Dragon King were classmates in the genius class; alas, that fellow was just too monstrous, and I couldn’t keep up even when trying my hardest."
Lu Chenzhou sincerely stated,
"Master Wang is also very formidable; there aren’t many Grandmasters in Da Xia."
Wang Jidao smiled lightly, unabashedly saying,
"I don’t need your flattery to know I am formidable. In ancient times, Grandmasters were called Land Immortals; their wrath could intimidate both the court and the underworld. Although slightly diminished now... it’s still not as common as dogs; still standing at the pinnacle of all beings."
Lu Chenzhou did not know how to respond and merely nodded silently.
You are a Grandmaster, and you are right.
"I have a question for you; just answer honestly what’s in your heart, and don’t mention our conversation to anyone else after you leave."
Wang Jidao’s eyes were like a dragon’s, his divine light illuminating all around.
"Do you wish to join Galaxy Martial University? I know you are a candidate for Dragon City Martial Arts University’s genius class, with high evaluations from summer exams, and you might enter their genius class. But if you wish to apply to Galaxy Martial University, I can take you as my disciple!"
The thought of becoming a disciple under a Grandmaster made Lu Chenzhou feel as if in a dream.
Seeing the youngster dazed, Wang Jidao did not rush him.
Moments later, Lu Chenzhou earnestly responded,
"Thank you for your kind offer, Master Wang... but the student loves Elephant Form Fist and wishes to major in it. Dragon City Martial Arts University suits me better, and the teachers and seniors there have also taken good care of me; I cannot be ungrateful and must apply there."
"Do you feel psychologically burdened? Worried about compensation fees?"
Lu Chenzhou shook his head honestly,
"It’s not for that reason. The student is confident he can earn enough compensation fees before college entrance exams; the reason for choosing Dragon City Martial Arts University is only as I mentioned above."
"Isn’t your idol the Cangtian Dragon King?"
"Yes, but it doesn’t interfere with my choice of Dragon City Martial Arts University."
"Understood, I support your decision."
This issue, Lu Chenzhou had long clarified.
The Cangtian Dragon King studied at Galaxy; what did it matter to him? As long as his future accomplishments surpassed the Cangtian Dragon King, then his Dragon City Martial Arts University would become the World’s Number One!
Wang Jidao was not surprised at being rejected. From his observations of Lu Chenzhou’s character and personality, it would have been strange if the youngster had accepted the offer.
He was just harboring a slight hope.
Wang Jidao inwardly approved.
"Quite good, at least a man of integrity."
He stood up, grabbed the bench through the air, and sent it back to its original place.
"Chenzhou, remember to keep today’s talk confidential."
"Master, don’t worry!"
Whoosh! Clouds and mist enveloped Wang Jidao.
As the clouds dispersed, he had already vanished, leaving no trace.
Lu Chenzhou reflected,
"Truly a minor Immortal."
Once he had only fantasized about reaching the Martial Artist Realm, but now with the Martial Arts Tree and Divine Seed, this minor Immortal others had become, he, Lu Chenzhou, could achieve as well!
