High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 128 A-Level Special Recruitment Contract

On the field below, the competition among freshmen has entered a heated phase.

On the ring, the young students are fighting to the death for honor and their future.

Amidst the flashing blades and whistling fists, students were frequently eliminated by the referees due to exhaustion or serious injury, leaving the field dejected.

The entire "Crown of the Arctic" echoed with the cheers, shouts, and sighs of tens of thousands of spectators, creating an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere.

However, this enthusiasm seemed somewhat out of place in the contestants' seats of the Qiming No. 1 High School senior students' competition.

Qin Feng, feeling rather bored, leaned back in his comfortable chair, wearing a holographic viewing device, and watched the match on one of the arenas in a haphazard manner.

The two freshmen on the stage are both quite strong, with a vitality index of around 14.5. Their killing techniques have also reached a certain level of proficiency, making them among the best of the freshmen.

But in Qin Feng's eyes now, their battle was full of countless flaws.

The hesitation in making moves, the sluggish footwork, the rough use of energy, the huge gaps between offense and defense... every detail seemed so immature.

He could even clearly predict every move the two would make next, and how the battle would ultimately end.

"I think I was like this a year ago."

Qin Feng thought to himself silently.

Back then, he also gave his all to defeat one opponent after another, and was overjoyed by every small step forward.

Now, looking at these younger students, he felt like a battle-hardened general watching two children who had just learned to wield wooden swords, playing with each other.

The difference is enormous.

Just as he was feeling drowsy and preparing to take off the viewing device and close his eyes to rest, the terminal on his wrist suddenly sent a series of slight vibrations.

"Ok?"

Qin Feng opened his eyes with some confusion.

He opened his terminal and saw that his private email inbox had a dozen or so unread emails.

The titles and formats of these emails were remarkably consistent.

【Special Recruitment Contract】An Invitation Letter from Morning Star Military Academy, Wuhan University

[Special Recruitment Contract] Wuhan University cordially invites you to apply.

【Special Recruitment Contract】Tetsuzan Applied Martial Arts University Level C Growth Contract

……

"Starry Sky Martial Arts University?"

Qin Feng frowned slightly. "A special recruitment contract?"

He felt a sense of bewilderment.

Their own competition hasn't even started yet, so how did these Starry Sky Martial Arts University students find out about them?

Why would they suddenly send me these so-called "special recruitment contracts"?
With a hint of confusion, he randomly clicked on a few of them.

The first letter came from "Morning Star Military Starry Sky Wuhan University", a school ranked ninety-eighth on the top 100 list.

[Dear Qin Feng:]

[We are the Admissions Committee of Morning Star Higher Military Academy. Based on our comprehensive evaluation, we believe you possess exceptional martial arts potential. Therefore, we are issuing you a Class D special recruitment contract and cordially inviting you to join our academy.]

The contract details are as follows:

[1. One-time cash reward: 100 million Imperial Coins.]

[2. Cultivation Resource Pack: Cultivation resources such as psionic potions and restorative baths, totaling 1000 million Imperial Coins, will be distributed per semester.]

[3. Teaching Resources: You will have the right to freely access all D-level and below killing techniques and cultivation manuals in our school library, and will receive one-on-one guidance from planetary-level mentors worth a total of 1000 million Imperial Coins.]

【…】

The second letter came from "Blue Ocean Starry Sky Wuhan University", ranking eighty-first.

[Dear Qin Feng:]

[...We have decided to issue you a Class C special recruitment contract...]

The contract details are as follows:

[1. One-time cash reward: 1000 million Imperial Coins.]

[2. Cultivation Resource Pack: Spiritual cultivation resources worth a total of 1 million Imperial Coins, including three intermediate-level mental potions.]

[3. Teaching Resources: You will have the right to freely access all C-level and below killing techniques, cultivation manuals, and mental arts in our school library, and will receive one-on-one guidance from planetary-level senior tutors worth a total of 1 million Imperial Coins.]

【…】

The third letter came from "Iron Mountain Starry Sky Martial Arts University," ranked eighty-fifth.

[Dear Qin Feng:]

[…We have tailored a C-level growth contract just for you…]

The contract content is basically the same as the "Blue Ocean Starry Sky Wuhan University" C-level contract, but at the end, there is an additional clause:
[Additional Clause: If you successfully "unite your acupoints" and advance to a Level 6 martial artist within ten years of enrollment, your contract will automatically be upgraded to a Level B contract, all resources will be doubled, and you will be assigned a dedicated team of Stellar-level mentors.]

Looking at these contracts worth hundreds of millions of Imperial Currency, Qin Feng felt little emotion.

He spends three to five million yuan a month on resources at Qiming No. 1 High School alone.

Among all the emails, there was one that was particularly special: a private message from "Duna Starry Sky Martial Arts University".

Its title, highlighted in red, was particularly eye-catching.

Qin Feng clicked on it.

Hello, Qin Feng.

The letter did not begin with official honorifics, but rather with a relatively equal and personal tone.

[I am Zhang Ruoyu, the admissions mentor for Duna Starry Sky Martial Arts University (ranked 73rd in the top 100). I personally admire your talent and potential. After my best efforts to lobby the university committee, we have decided to break with convention and offer you a special A-level recruitment contract that far exceeds your current level of ability.]

The contract details are as follows:

[1. One-time reward: 1000 Imperial Contribution Points.]

[2. Cultivation Resource Pack: Spiritual cultivation resources worth a total of 1 Imperial Contribution Points, including one high-grade mental potion and one "Stellar Essence".]

[3. Teaching Resources: You will have the right to freely access all killing techniques, cultivation manuals, and mental arts manuals of level A and below in our school library.]

[4. Exclusive Equipment: One set of Level 6 standard power armor, one Level 6 standard psionic weapon (type can be selected).]

[Qin Feng, I believe that with your intelligence, you will surely understand the value of this Grade A contract. It is fundamentally different from those regular contracts denominated in Imperial Coins. I hope you will seriously consider my proposal. My private communication channel is xxxx; I look forward to your reply.] "Imperial Contribution Points?"

Qin Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

He was familiar with this term.

That was a true hard currency, far superior to the Imperial Coin.

It cannot be directly exchanged for money; it can only be obtained by establishing great military achievements for the empire or by making significant contributions in fields such as scientific research and exploration.

Even the contribution points of the Black Market Empire can be judged by the Inquisition!
This A-level contract alone contains 20,000 Imperial Contribution Points in resource value!
Not to mention, that level 6 power armor and weaponry are standard equipment that money can't buy!

The value of this contract is terrifying!
However, precisely because of this, Qin Feng's confusion only increased.

These inexplicable contracts are more and more absurd than the last.

The jump from D-level to A-level is so large that it feels like they're not recruiting the same person at all.

What should I do?

Qin Feng is not good at handling these kinds of interpersonal relationships.

His world is very simple, consisting only of cultivation and battle.

He pondered for a moment, and finally decided to entrust the problem to the person he trusted most.

He quickly took screenshots of the several representative contracts he had received, and then sent them to his mentor, Gu Yue, via his wrist-worn device.

At the same time, a brief request was attached:

[Mentor Gu Yue, I've received some special recruitment contracts from Starry Sky Martial Arts University, but I'm not quite sure what to do. What should I do?]

……

Meanwhile, at the top of the viewing tower.

Gu Yue, who was resting with her eyes closed, felt a slight vibration from the terminal on her wrist.

He opened his eyes and saw the message from Qin Feng.

When she saw the screenshots of contracts ranging from D to A, a cold smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

He replied to the message almost without hesitation.

No need to reply to any of them.

Just as the message notification tone sounded, his terminal vibrated again.

It was Qin Feng's reply.

Okay. But mentor, why? One of them is an A-level contract.

Upon seeing this question, a hint of approval flashed in Gu Yue's eyes.

Qin Feng wasn't blinded by the A-level contract; instead, he chose to ask questions first. This composure was far beyond that of ordinary people.

He patiently typed out a second reply.

[Generous offers? Qin Feng, your goal is "Canaan Star Martial Arts University"! It's the one and only "superpower," not these so-called "top 100"!]

These schools aren't qualified to admit you!

[What's more, they even sent you a C-level contract! This is an insult to you, an insult to Qiming No. 1 High School! Remember, you are the strongest genius in the history of Qiming No. 1 High School. Your value is far beyond what these contracts can measure! An A-level contract is also an insult to you.]

Message sent.

He believed that Qin Feng, with his intelligence, would surely understand what he meant.

Sure enough, he received Qin Feng's reply in less than three seconds.

Okay, mentor, I understand.

Simple, straightforward, and full of execution.

……

in the audience.

When Qin Feng looked at the message sent by his mentor, Gu Yue, which was full of unquestionable dominance and trust, the last trace of doubt in his heart vanished.

He stopped thinking about the reasons behind these contracts and stopped measuring their value.

If your supervisor says you're not qualified, then you're not qualified.

For over a year, Gu Yue had treated him almost like a personal disciple, so Qin Feng naturally trusted him.

Moreover, Qin Feng knew about Canaan Star Martial Arts University, so he would naturally choose the strongest star martial arts university in the Canaan star system!

He calmly marked all of the dozen or so emails from various Starry Sky Martial Arts Universities in his mailbox as "read" at once, and then never looked at them again.

His attention returned to his cultivation, his eyes slightly closed, and his mind sank into the visualization of the "Emperor's Meditation Method".

The outside world's turmoil has nothing to do with him anymore.

……

Inside the spectator tower.

Instructor Gu Yue put away the terminal, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Immediately, his gaze, like two invisible swords, pierced through the distance of dozens of meters and landed with unparalleled precision on the female phantom figure named "Zhang Ruoyu" among the group of top 100 martial arts university admissions mentors.

His eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could see through the shadowy figure and understand all its thoughts.

"interesting."

Gu Yue's lips curled into a disdainful sneer.

"Out of more than a hundred admissions officers, only this Zhang Ruoyu offered Qin Feng an A-level contract. It seems that she must have learned about Lord Zhou Xiong's interest in Qin Feng through some special channel."

"Ha ha……"

"Knowing such a shocking secret, yet still trying to lure Qin Feng away with a mere A-level contract?"

"Does this guy think we Qiming No. 1 High School are just uncultured country bumpkins, or does he think Lord Zhou Xiong's standards are too cheap? Or does he think Qin Feng, with his humble background, would be tempted by an A-level contract? What a bunch of people who judge by birth."

"Really..."

Mentor Gu Yue picked up the energy drink on the table, took a small sip, and slowly uttered his final evaluation.

"...Greedy enough. Short-sighted."
