When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 138 Bai Yujing

Yujing Wuhan University, South Campus.

Shen Qingquan led his men quickly to a platform. His hurried pace surprised the students along the way.

The special train to Wuhan University of Technology runs year-round because students at Wuhan University of Technology don't always stay on campus.

They often go out, either to carry out missions, to earn extra money, or simply as senior students team up to explore other worlds.

The most dangerous exploration of the dimensional realm was terminated due to the attack on Mu Yaoguang back then, but other explorations of other realms were occasionally arranged.

The Eastern Xia Federation has always controlled several intersections. Although the world intersection has not occurred in recent decades, the passage to the other world has always existed.

However, as the director of the admissions office, Shen Qingquan generally wouldn't appear inside the train station; he usually traveled in and out via the boats from the North Campus.

"It seems that some important person has arrived."

A young man chuckled and said, "Everyone knows how ambitious Director Shen is. If he weren't a big shot, he wouldn't be in such a hurry."

"Important figures all fly here directly."

His companion chuckled, then lowered his voice and said, "But the first part is true. The person who came is related to Director Shen's advancement. You know the rumored second Mu Yaoguang, the Youth Cup champion? He should be here. Look, there are quite a few more people at the station."

Upon hearing this, the young man glanced around and indeed saw groups of people standing nearby and in the distance, all following Shen Qingquan.

"Lin Yun from the Alchemy Society, and Xu Shaoming from the Astronomy Society..."

The young man recognized the identities of two of them.

This surprised him, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Is it really necessary to go this far?"

"It's very likely, because this could be the second Mu Yaoguang."

As his companion spoke, he took out his phone and turned on the camera, "If our school produces a second Mu Yaoguang, she will sweep all the competitions of the Twenty-Four Martial Arts Universities and dominate future explorations in other worlds. Although the current president of the Martial Arts Club, Yun, is also very powerful, he is still inferior to Sister Yaoguang."

At least during Mu Yaoguang's time, Yanjing Martial Arts University was completely inferior to Yujing Martial Arts University, unlike now where it is showing a trend of catching up.

This is certainly because Yanjing Martial Arts University has opened up its special admission quotas, resulting in a large influx of funds and resources, and also because Yun Shu of Yujing Martial Arts University does not possess the kind of strength that far surpasses his peers.

Yun Shu is a junior in college this year and is already a five-star martial artist. He may become a six-star martial artist before graduation, but that will only be six stars.

It should be noted that Mu Yaoguang was already a seven-star martial artist at the beginning of her first semester of senior year.

The phone's camera was pointed at the railway, capturing a fast-approaching train in the frame.

The special train from Yujing University of Technology pulled into the station with a whooshing sound of wind pressure, slowly slowed down, and came to a stop.

The iron door to the first-class cabin of the train slowly opened, and two men and one woman stepped out.

The camera precisely locked onto one of the boys, automatically adjusted the focus, and snapped a picture of him.

His companion stroked his chin, looked at the boy in the photo, and nodded, saying, "In a novel, he would be the kind of person who would be exclaimed, 'This kid is terrifyingly powerful!'"

The boy in the photo has slightly long, choppy hair, as black as raven feathers, which contrasts with his fair skin, giving the viewer the illusion that he is radiating light.

This is no longer the appearance of a normal person; even the infamous head-changing magic of the Slu region could not produce such a face.

This would require using the evil magic of Dongxia in Photoshop with all the special effects enabled.

This situation could occur either because he has mastered some kind of extraordinary skill that has transformed his physique, or because he was born with a special physique.

In either case, it proves that this person is extraordinary.

Judging people by their appearance is not a good thing, but sometimes, judging someone's ability by their appearance can still reveal some clues.

"That's really impressive." The young man nodded in agreement.

"You see it too?"

“I can tell that the train conductor next to him is the news agency director’s henchman. He would never follow anything that isn’t important,” the young man said, staring at Jiang Xiaobai.

Under the watchful eyes of both the light and the shadows, Bai Ze and Shen Qingquan met.

As the host of the Youth Cup competition, Shen Qingquan was not unfamiliar with Bai Ze. As the saying goes, familiarity breeds contempt, and the two were already acquaintances.

Upon seeing Bai Ze, Shen Qingquan warmly greeted him, treating him like an inspector sent by a superior. He shook hands with Bai Ze and gave him a vigorous shake.

"Welcome to Yujing Martial Arts University, Bai Ze."

Shen Qingquan smiled and said, "Your student file has been completed. There's just one last formality to go through. Once you've provided your fingerprints and other information, you can be considered enrolled. Your student ID is also ready and waiting to be activated. As for which department you'll be studying in, Bai Ze can decide later, as long as it's decided before September."

The prerequisite for cultivating the Cantongqi is to become a student of Yujing Martial Arts Academy, so Bai Ze can be considered to have enrolled early today.

In a previous phone call with Shen Qingquan, she learned that her dormitory had already been arranged in advance.

Shen Qingquan was extremely enthusiastic about Bai Ze, almost to the point of worshipping him as a god.

In the previous Youth Cup, Bai Ze could only be described as a once-in-a-million genius, but after a series of victories, Bai Ze has truly become the second Mu Yaoguang.

The significance of such a genius to Yujing Martial Arts University goes without saying, but for Shen Qingquan, it was a truly remarkable achievement.

This is someone Shen Qingquan recruited into the school; how much progress he can make in the future depends entirely on Bai Ze.

In any case, Shen Qingquan has been personally taking charge these past few days to ensure that Bai Ze's enrollment goes smoothly, to the point that he has been accused of flattery by some of the old scholars in the school.

"Thank you for your trouble, Director Shen."

Bai Ze also put on the mask of a socialite, exchanging polite pleasantries with Shen Qingquan.

The two chatted and laughed for a while before Shen Qingquan led the way and they left the station.

"Luoshui's entrance exam will be held at the North Campus. The next two days will be exam days. I have already arranged a room for Luoshui."

As Shen Qingquan walked, he said, "Bai Ze's assessment will be held in the main building on the South Campus."

The entrance exam for Yujing Martial Arts University includes many components such as a written test, a physical test, and a qualification test. It's impossible to complete all the tests in one day, so Luo Shui brought a suitcase with her in advance.

As for Bai Ze's luggage, he didn't have many clothes and planned to buy some on the spot.

Upon hearing Shen Qingquan's words, Luo Shui called out to her portable suitcase and headed towards the North Campus.

"Xiaobai, let's go."

The dog-shaped suitcase remained completely still.

Luo Shui's face immediately fell, and she said reluctantly, "You cowardly smiling tiger, let's go."

"Order."

The self-propelled suitcase made a cheerful sound, which contrasted sharply with its owner's stern face.

The journey from the city to Yujing Martial Arts University didn't take too long, since it was a special train. Due to the time constraints, Luo Shui couldn't uncover Bai Ze's tampering and could only temporarily accept the name on the suitcase.

On the other side, Bai Ze followed Shen Qingquan to a building and entered a specially vacated room.

Inside the room, a virtual reality pod was prominently displayed.

That's right, the assessment in the Cantongqi is not in reality, and it's not even a written test.

According to Mu Yaoguang, the techniques of the "Cantongqi" are also recorded in an independent Star Network system.

A profound text like the "Cantongqi" requires more than just reading its contents; it also demands spiritual guidance and the ability to comprehend its inner meaning.

The words themselves are also a vehicle for the practice; the true meaning must be found within the same meaning.

Coincidentally, StarNet achieves virtual stealth through mental projection, which matches up perfectly.

As for the true original of the *Cantongqi*, it has always been kept in the collection of the principal of Yujing Martial Arts University and is rarely seen. "Student Bai Ze, information entry can also be done in the virtual pod; you just need to lie down inside."

Shen Qingquan said, "Afterwards, I will also log in. Once Bai Ze wakes up in Baiyujing, he should be able to see me immediately."

Bai Ze had already heard about the process from Mu Yaoguang, so he wasn't worried about it.

He lay down in the virtual pod, just like when he first went to the Martial Arts Association, and entered the relevant information.

"Fingerprint information, enter."

"Iris information, enter."

"Face information, enter."

"Body scan...body data, enter."

"Bai Ze, welcome to Yujing Martial Arts University. Now, please close your eyes."

"Connection initiated—"

With a familiar lightness in his body, Bai Ze found himself already in Yujing Martial Arts University's exclusive Star Network City when he regained his senses.

Welcome to Baiyujing.

Bai Ze opened his eyes, but instead of the familiar white space, he was greeted by a wooden ceiling.

He sat up, and the smooth yet somewhat unfamiliar feel of the fabric made him involuntarily look down.

What comes into view is a blue ancient costume, with cloud patterns on the cuffs and collar that have an ancient aesthetic. On the left chest, there is the logo of Yujing Martial Arts University, a fairy mountain surrounded by clouds and mist.

As for the environment, it was also antique, with a wooden chair next to a wooden desk and an ancient canopy bed.

blah blah blah!

A knock came at the door, and Shen Qingquan's voice rang out, "Bai Ze, classmate."

Bai Ze got out of bed upon hearing the sound. The brand-new Liuhe boots were already on his feet, so there was no need to worry about not knowing how to wear them.

He took a couple of steps, feeling a little awkward, and opened the door. There he saw Shen Qingquan standing outside, dressed in a light blue long robe and with his hair in a bun.

The middle-aged head of the admissions office, dressed in ancient costume, looked even more like a Confucian scholar.

"This is Baiyujing."

Shen Qingquan smiled and said, "You should know about the Twelve Buildings in the school, right? Every year, the Twelve Buildings hold a competition, and the winner can decide the environment of Baiyujing for the following year. For the past three years, the Martial Arts Club has outperformed the classmates, so Baiyujing has also presented an ancient environment according to the wishes of the Martial Arts Club."

"If another club defeats the martial arts club in the next competition, then the environment of Baiyujing will change according to their wishes."

"Whether it's modern, futuristic, or even fantasy, it's all acceptable. This is a right reserved for the victors."

This earth-shattering power will also shock all the students and inspire them to strive for first place.

Bai Ze murmured to himself.

Being able to transform a space, even if it's just virtual, is an unparalleled feeling, almost like being a creator.

Moreover, other universities do not have the supercomputing capabilities of Yujing University. Even if they have independent star network regions, they cannot support modifications to the overall environment.

This is a privilege unique to Yujing Martial Arts University, and a power unique to the number one.

Compared to Yanjing Martial Arts University, Yujing Martial Arts University is both very fair and very unfair.

Fairness means that talented people receive the treatment they deserve.

The unfairness also lies in the fact that those with exceptional talent receive far more than those with ordinary talent.

The so-called equal distribution of wealth and equal rights do not exist at Yujing Martial Arts University.

Shen Qingquan led the way, guiding Bai Ze out of the ancient-style corridor and into the pavilion connecting the two floors.

The original multi-story building in Baiyujing has been transformed into two connected five-story buildings, with covered walkways connecting the upper three floors.

Looking to the left and right, you can see pavilions and terraces, with people coming and going, all in an ancient style, giving you a different feeling from the modern world.

Bai Ze followed Shen Qingquan to another tall building, and after turning through several corridors, they arrived at a spacious hall.

A woman dressed in a light blue dress, with her hair styled in a flying fairy bun, who looked to be in her early twenties, was sitting in the center of the hall.

"Professor Ye, Bai Ze has arrived."

Shen Qingquan showed considerable respect for the woman, demonstrating a clear sense of superiority. It seemed that this woman did not appear to be as young as she looked.

Old Xia is quite old; he's just an honorary professor at Yujing Martial Arts University, not even a tenured professor. This woman, on the other hand, is respected by Shen Qingquan, so she might be a lifetime professor at Yujing Martial Arts University.

The woman's eyes were slightly closed, as if she was regulating her breathing. When she heard Shen Qingquan's words, she did not raise her eyes, but simply reached out and made a stroke, and lines of text appeared in mid-air.

"The first test is to run through this mental cultivation technique completely within three hours," the woman said calmly.

Shen Qingquan explained to Bai Ze, "The assessment is not actually meant to make things difficult for you, but rather to test whether you have the foundation and ability to cultivate the 'Cantongqi'. If your foundation is insufficient, you will not be able to cultivate it and it may even harm you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze nodded and said, "Of course I am aware of the school's good intentions."

Without further ado, he began to read the text.

"Nourish yourself internally, find tranquility and emptiness. Originally hidden yet luminous, it illuminates the body. Close its openings, solidify the spiritual root..."

That was a genuine reading aloud, with clear and resonant pronunciation, melodious and pleasant to the ear.

However, this seemed to disturb the woman, causing a barely perceptible furrow to appear on her brow.

Shen Qingquan, observing Bai Ze's expression, secretly grew anxious. 'It seems Bai Ze has displeased Professor Ye. It's not good to ask Professor Ye for guidance now. Hopefully, Bai Ze can learn this mental technique on his own.'

The selected mental techniques don't actually have any special effects; they are essentially the same as those basic qi-circulating techniques, the only difference being the difficulty.

Hard!

It's so difficult it's full of twists and turns, so complex it's comparable to a martial arts mastery.

From a value perspective, this mental cultivation manual is pure garbage; the benefits are disproportionate to the difficulty.

However, it is not something that an ordinary person can do to create such a trashy mental cultivation method.

This must have been specially compiled by Professor Ye for the assessment.

Therefore, if you have any questions, you can ask Professor Ye.

The premise is not to offend Professor Ye.

Bai Ze's current situation is somewhat precarious—

"Suspended, suspended, suspended..."

Shen Qingquan suddenly blurted out what was on his mind, even stuttering.

He stared wide-eyed at Bai Ze.

Bai Ze's body was slightly transparent, and under the action of some mechanism, the path of the Qi within his body was revealed.

As he spoke, his Qi flowed, exactly as described in the mental cultivation method.

A complete run takes three hours?
Three minutes is enough.
