"Is it true that Liu Fufeng has a crush on you?"
Upon hearing this, Beiming Yan was stunned, her eyes darting around.
"Who told you that? Liu Fufeng really has a crush on me?!"
Well, it was obviously just bragging. The question was completely unnecessary.
Liu Fufeng was a martial arts fanatic. Nothing else mattered to him but training. Otherwise, he couldn't have comprehended Battle Intent at such a young age.
The claim that Liu Fufeng had a crush on Beiming Yan—only she could make that up.
"The rumors I heard are probably false. Could you please take me to my dorm now?"
Beiming Yan jumped up excitedly. "Where did you hear that? It might be true! My sad face is bound to soften Liu Fufeng. Maybe he really does have a crush on me!!"
Ling Qingxue smiled wryly. "They say that if someone has a crush on you, they'll pay attention to your messages. Send Liu Fufeng a message now—if he replies within ten seconds, then it might be true."
Hearing this, Beiming Yan immediately took out her phone to try it out.
She sent a message, but only received a red exclamation mark.
"You are not yet a friend of the other party. Please add them as a friend before sending a message."
Beiming Yan: ???
Ling Qingxue glanced at it and almost burst out laughing.
The chat history was entirely sent by Beiming Yan, every single message asking the other party what level they were and whether they had broken through.
Liu Fufeng, likely overwhelmed by the harassment, simply blocked her...
Beiming Yan gritted her teeth, feeling an urge to kill.
"That damned Liu Fufeng. How dare he block me! I'll make him pay!!"
She'd just use a different number to continue the harassment; she had plenty of energy and methods!
After a barrage of attacks, her mood finally improved.
Putting away her phone, Beiming Yan continued leading Ling Qingxue.
"Qingxue, let me tell you, none of the boys at Beiming Martial Arts University are good people. Don't mess with them! If anyone bothers you, just call me, and I'll take care of it!
Also, once you officially become a student of Beiming Martial Arts University, we'll have a two-month military training period. The specifics vary from year to year, so I don't know it yet, but it shouldn't be difficult for us.
The most important thing for us is the cultivation time in the King-level Spirit Gathering Room. You currently have seven days a month, but that's definitely not enough. To get more, you need to challenge the Martial Arts Tower. For every floor you clear, you get a reward!"
Ling Qingxue nodded slightly. "Do we have classes regularly?"
"Yes, but it completely depends on your needs. You can choose classes that interest you or skip them if you don't want to. As long as your improvement speed meets the requirements, everything will be fine."
Lectures by advanced martial artists were very important for beginners.
Teachers might even teach advanced martial arts techniques or spirit formations in class, and it's free.
But Ling Qingxue didn't need these.
Being able to plan her time independently was the best thing.
When they reached a villa, Beiming Yan handed the key to Ling Qingxue.
"This is the one I picked out for you. I live right next door. Feel free to contact me if you need anything. I'm happy to help." Beiming Yan winked.
Just as she was about to leave, two people approached.
A man and a woman, both around forty, presumably teachers at Beiming Martial Arts University.
"Second Uncle, Aunt, did you come to see me?" Bei Mingyan asked with a smile.
Wu Liang gasped.
Both teachers were relatives of Beiming Yan.
"Holy crap, so Beiming Martial Arts University is actually the Beiming family's business!!"
All the teachers were relatives, and they'd lived at Beiming Martial Arts University since childhood—what else could this be but a family business?
"Pretty much. The Beiming Martial Arts University was founded by the Beiming family to guard an Imperial-level secret place. Longshen and Bing Huang Universities serve the same purpose!" Ling Qingxue explained.
Wu Liang clicked his tongue in amazement; the strength of these three families was simply too formidable.
No wonder the Liu family had sent troops to wipe out the Soul Tribe—they were maintaining the country's security.
The two people bypassed Beiming Yan and walked directly to Ling Qingxue, both smiling.
"Greetings, Instructors."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Beiming Lengyue, and this is my brother, Beiming Han. We are the deans of instruction for the Spiritual Master Department and the Physical Cultivation Department at Beiming Martial Arts University, respectively. We've come to see you today to accept you as our disciple," Beiming Lengyue explained slowly.
Beiming Yan snorted indignantly. "Auntie, I asked you to take me as your disciple, but you won't even teach me spirit formations!"
Beiming Lengyue rolled her eyes.
"Don't you know your own talent? You're still just a Second Rank early-stage Spiritual Master. You might as well pursue Physical Cultivation."
"Auntie, you..."
"Go play somewhere else and don't bother me. I have serious business." Beiming Lengyue interrupted.
She looked at Ling Qingxue again. "I can see that your Spiritual Master talent is extremely strong, even higher than your Physical Cultivation talent. Be my disciple, and I'm confident I can make you a King Rank Spiritual Master!"
"Oh, Auntie, you're only a King Rank Spiritual Master yourself, are you that confident you can teach someone to become a King Rank Spiritual Master?" Beiming Yan chuckled.
Beiming Lengyue's face darkened. "Go cultivate! You're already third in the exam, and you still have no ambition!"
"Hmph!" Beiming Yan stormed off.
Beiming Han's gaze fell upon the Taotie, as if he were observing a promising martial arts prodigy.
"Qingxue, Spiritual Masters have too many weaknesses. Only personal strength is true strength. You've formed a contract with the Taotie; pursuing the path of Physical Cultivation is the only smooth road. Don't listen to my little sister's nonsense."
"Beiming Han, do you dare say that again?!" Beiming Lengyue said coldly.
Beiming Han raised an eyebrow.
"Little sister, this is the truth. Taotie's progress is extraordinary. If Qingxue were to pursue the path of a Spiritual Master, it would inevitably cause Taotie to stagnate. There's nothing wrong with relying on Taotie to carry you. As long as you can keep up with his breakthrough speed, you will be the undisputed number one of this generation!"
Beiming Lengyue retorted. "Taotie's breakthroughs will also have a feedback effect. Qingxue's Physical Cultivation breakthrough speed might not be slow, but her Spiritual Master talent is stronger than her Physical Cultivation talent!"
Ling Qingxue interrupted their argument.
"Thank you both for your kindness, instructors, but I don't intend to become an apprentice. Moreover, I will cultivate the two paths simultaneously!"
Beiming Lengyue frowned. "For low-level martial artists, cultivating two paths simultaneously is very time-consuming, and it's easy to miss the golden period for optimal cultivation."
A martial artist's vital energy was at its peak around the age of thirty, making it the best time for cultivation.
If one failed to break through to the King Rank before the age of thirty, the quality of their vital energy began to decline, making breakthroughs more difficult and limiting their potential.
The ideal solution was to cultivate one path first, and then, after becoming a King Rank martial artist, improve the other, compensating for any deficiencies.
Cultivating two paths simultaneously might prevent either from breaking through to the King Rank before the age of thirty, and very few people dared to do so.
