Ch. 78 - King-Rank Kunpeng Bloodline Remains

Liu Qingkuang, the admission officer of Longshen Martial Arts University, glanced at the others, a hint of displeasure creasing his brows.

"Everyone except those from the three major martial arts universities, get out. Don't waste your time here!"

His tone left no room for argument, and Lin Yutang could only stand there, visibly shaken.

The admission officer for Xuan Yu Martial Arts University abruptly stood up, his face contorted with rage.

"Liu Qingkuang, aren't you being far too arrogant? We haven't even seen anyone, and you're telling us to leave?!"

Liu Qingkuang smirked, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"I'm giving you a way out. If you know what's good for you, leave now, or I won't hesitate to send you on your way!"

With that, the aura of a King Rank peak martial artist emanated from him, instantly increasing the pressure in the room.

Everyone felt as if two mountains were weighing on their shoulders, making it incredibly difficult to breathe.

A King Rank peak martial artist possessed an aura as deep and unyielding as a bottomless pit; their mere presence could make even a Ninth Rank martial artist bow down.

Seeing this, the admission officers began to leave.

"Excuse us!"

The conference room fell silent.

Mu Bingli, from Bing Huang Martial Arts University, frowned slightly. "As fellow cultivators, why make things difficult for them? They're just giving it a try."

"What difference does it make whether you try or not for something impossible? Going back to report sooner saves them time and effort… In fact, they shouldn't have come at all. Even a fool would know Ling Qingxue wouldn't go to their lousy martial arts universities."

Liu Qingkuang's expression was contemptuous, just like his name—arrogant beyond measure.

Not only that, his actions were even more arrogant. He had single-handedly fought an Imperial Rank magical beast and even retreated unscathed, placing his strength at the highest level among his peers.

Mu Bingli rolled her eyes, not wanting to speak to him.

A short while later, Lin Zhennan led Ling Qingxue in.

The three of them immediately focused their gaze on her.

"Second Rank late-stage? The breakthrough is fast, but your level is a bit too low. Don't feed all the good stuff to your beast, little girl," Liu Qingkuang chuckled.

He knew very well that Ling Qingxue's level wasn't that important; as long as she could keep up slightly with Wu Liang, that was enough.

With the Taotie bloodline, Wu Liang's level advancement was unimpeded!

Mu Bingli stood up and walked towards Ling Qingxue with a smile.

"I am Mu Bingli, the admission officer from Bing Huang Martial Arts University. I wonder if you would be willing to join us?"

"Hey, hey, hey, Mu Bingli, you have no martial ethics! We haven't even made the introductions, and you're already making a move!" Liu Qingkuang said, displeased.

Meanwhile, Beiming Feng, the admission officer from Beiming Martial Arts University, who hadn't spoken yet, directly took out an SSS-rank admission notice from Beiming Martial Arts University and handed it over.

He smiled. "I know you've already decided to apply to Beiming Martial Arts University. This is my highest-level admission notice from our university. The specific rewards are all written on it, and my contact information is also included. You can contact me if you need anything.

Also, I know you won't give up the reward from the national martial arts exam, so I won't take you to the school early. I'll pick you up after the exam.

I'm in a hurry to investigate the Beast King Cult, so I'll be leaving now."

Having said what he wanted to say, Beiming Feng simply left, as if everything was under his control.

There was no competition as anticipated, nor the expected commotion. The whole process was so fast that Liu Qingkuang and Mu Bingli were somewhat caught off guard.

Liu Qingkuang's eyes widened. "Wow, Beiming Feng is even more arrogant than me! Isn't he overconfident?!"

Giving an admission notice and leaving? Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd already got it.

Liu Qingkuang immediately took out his SSS-rank admission notice from Longshen Martial Arts University.

"Young lady, as long as you come to Longshen Martial Arts University, you'll immediately receive a True Dragon Bone with a King Level bloodline. Your Gluttonous Beast will definitely ascend to a higher level after devouring it!"

"Bing Huang Martial Arts University also has some divine beast bloodline remains, absolutely no weaker than the True Dragon Bone!" Mu Bingli said.

Ling Qingxue smiled and put the admission notice from Beiming Martial Arts University into her storage ring.

"I'm sorry, teachers, but my choice is indeed Beiming Martial Arts University."

Liu Qingkuang frowned, his face full of disbelief.

"Wait, Miss. Are you sure, without even looking at the rewards Beiming Martial Arts University will offer? Preferential treatment is one thing, but the most important thing for a martial artist is resources. I'm certain Beiming Martial Arts University won't offer as much as Longshen Martial Arts University!"

Ling Qingxue shook her head slightly. "The three martial arts universities are roughly equal in strength, and what they can offer won't differ too much. I don't need to look."

"You..." Liu Qingkuang was stunned. This was the first time in all his years that he'd encountered someone who left him so utterly speechless.

However, he had to admit that Ling Qingxue was absolutely right.

The three martial arts universities were roughly equal in all aspects; none stood out as the absolute best, and the resources offered by their SSS-rank admission notices were similar.

Longshen Martial Arts University could offer a True Dragon Bone, and Beiming Martial Arts University could similarly offer a Kunpeng Bone.

And Ling Qingxue knew without a doubt that Beiming Martial Arts University would give it to her, because they must know that the Taotie could devour the bloodlines of other divine beasts for its own use.

Offering this treasure was perfectly reasonable, especially since it was on top of what she already possessed.

"Alright, alright, you're such a boring girl, lacking any youthful energy."

Mu Bingli chuckled. "You're probably just saying this because you haven't found any talent. If she had chosen Longshen Martial Arts University, you'd probably say she's pretty and destined to be an Imperial Rank expert."

"You haven't found any talent either, and you have the nerve to criticize me? This trip was a waste of time."

Liu Qingkuang muttered a few words and left.

Mu Bingli didn't leave immediately, but instead gave Ling Qingxue the SSS-rank admission notice from Bing Huang Martial Arts University.

"I know you are interested in Beiming University, but I still want you to have this. This notice lists the rewards our university can offer. If you change your mind, you can contact me."

Ling Qingxue nodded. "Thank you, Teacher Mu, I'll consider it."

Mu Bingli smiled and left. She knew Ling Qingxue probably wouldn't go to Bing Huang Martial Arts University, but since she was already there, she couldn't let the opportunity go to waste. Seeing that the admission officers had left, Lin Zhennan and Shen Congwu immediately approached.

"Qingxue, quickly take a look at the resources offered by Beiming Martial Arts University!"

Ling Qingxue unfolded the SSS-rank admission notice.

[Annual funding of 2 billion, free entry to secret places below the King Rank qualification to select one King Rank spiritual weapon, three evolution plans for your magical beast, seven days of use per month in the King Rank Spirit Gathering Room... and a King Rank Kunpeng bloodline remnant!]

The resources offered by Bing Huang Martial Arts University were basically the same as those from Beiming Martial Arts University, except that the last item was a King Rank Ice Flame Phoenix bloodline remnant.

Lin Zhennan and Shen Congwu were astonished.

"As expected of the three giants, they can give so many rewards to a single freshman. Our Lingtian Middle School doesn't even have that much funding in a year..." Shen Congwu exclaimed.

2 billion annually! That's 8 billion over four years! And this was only the freely usable amount; the other resources were equally extraordinary. 

Each and every one of these was a treasure that only a King Rank martial artist was qualified to enjoy.

Quite impressive indeed!
