Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Da Yang, they're so noisy."

Bai Chuyi completely ignored the two of them, shrank her head, and hid in Yang Xian's arms.

But Jiang Mengyun and Su Lingling, who were standing to the side, were completely dumbfounded.

What exactly is going on?

The only two top martial arts universities in Nanhai City actually turned on each other and fought over Xiaobai.

Moreover, the conditions they offered were increasingly outrageous!

A disciple personally taught by the Dean?

Unlimited supply of cultivation resources?

Even with their S-level talent, they wouldn't dare dream of such treatment!

Yang Xian just took Xiaobai to have his talent tested, right?

How long has it been, and people from two top universities have already sent over?

"Xiao Bai...could it be...?"

The two seemed to realize something and exchanged a glance.

SS-rank!

In an instant, they felt that their proud S-level talent suddenly lost its appeal.

After all that arguing, they lost to Xiaobai.

The real genius was always right beside Yang Xian, quietly remaining an invisible figure!

"As expected, they came for this child."

A glint of light flashed in Su Yuehua's beautiful eyes.

None of the girls around my son-in-law are simple!

Lingling's road ahead is going to be tough...

Qin Ya and Lu Wenxuan saw that Bai Chuyi ignored them and instead relied entirely on Yang Xian.

I immediately realized who the key person was!

"Mr. Yang!"

"Brother Yang!"

Qin Ya and Lu Wenxuan spoke in unison once again.

But this time, the target became Yang Xian.

"If you can persuade Bai to come to our Canglan University," Qin Ya preemptively stated again, "our university is willing to provide 100 million yuan and give you a 300-square-meter villa in the core area!"

Lu Wenxuan grew anxious and immediately escalated the offer: "Brother Yang! If Bai can come to my Chengwu University, you'll not only receive a hundred million yuan and a villa, but you'll also be allowed free access to the university!"

"You can live there without any problem! It's free!"

This time, Qin Ya was anxious: "Our school is the same! We can even offer you a special position!"

"Our school can do it too! We can even..."

The conditions set by the two became increasingly outrageous.

It's absolutely amazing!

"..."

Yang Xian's face remained completely expressionless.

He knew very well that he was worthless in the eyes of these people.

Everything they are doing now is for the sake of obtaining Bai Chuyi, this future treasure.

And I am merely the key that unlocks the treasure.

Using novice students to their own advantage?

What's the difference between that and Uncle Bai, who sold her off with a price tag?

"I'm sorry, Xiaobai won't be going to any university."

Yang Xian spoke calmly.

Since Xiaobai doesn't want to go, I naturally won't force her to go.

"No, no, no!"

"That won't do!"

Qin Ya and Lu Wenxuan quickly shook their heads.

There are geniuses who refuse to become martial artists.

But Bai Chuyi's situation is really too special...

"Young Brother Yang."

"Bai's situation may not be as simple as you think."

Minister Zhao Zhenhua, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

He slowly put down his teacup, his expression more solemn than ever before.

Everything in this world comes at a price.

"It's like how we martial artists can't have children."

"SS-level talent, the same applies, and the price for such people is... their lives!"

life?!

Yang Xian's pupils suddenly contracted!

Jiang Mengyun and Su Lingling also covered their mouths, their faces filled with horror.

"Those who possess this kind of talent either remain unawakened or..."

"Once awakened, the body becomes an unstoppable furnace! Cultivation power increases wildly!"

"Their breakthroughs have no bottlenecks."

"But every single second, the body is consuming a massive amount of energy!"

Zhao Zhenhua stared at Yang Xian and asked, word by word, "Young man Yang, think carefully, is there anything... unusual about Bai in his daily life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xian immediately thought of Bai Chuyi's terrifying appetite!

No wonder!

No wonder Xiaobai has such a big appetite.

No matter what I eat, my body doesn't change at all!

She used up all the energy converted from the food!

"Yang Xian, I remember now!"

Jiang Mengyun also realized what was happening and said urgently to Yang Xian, "While you were unconscious, Xiaobai's appetite was indeed much greater than before!"

So, that's the sign that Xiaobai is awakening as a martial artist?

Yang Xian's eyes narrowed: "What will happen if... we don't replenish our energy in time?"

Zhao Zhenhua's voice became extremely heavy:

"Body functions will rapidly decline..."

"And then, death!"

The office fell into a deathly silence.

After a moment, Zhao Zhenhua continued:

"Currently, Bai is only at the early stage of the first realm, and ordinary food can barely sustain her body."

"But as her cultivation level increases, the energy from ordinary food will be woefully inadequate!"

"At that time, only a vast amount of rare and precious natural resources will be able to meet her needs."

"What will you do when that time really comes?"

This is not alarmist.

This is the stark reality right before our eyes!

Even with the system, Yang Xian wouldn't dare gamble with the girl's life!

"..."

Yang Xian remained silent.

Everyone was waiting for his answer.

"Da Yang..." Bai Chuyi gripped his clothes tightly with her small hand, "Don't leave Xiao Bai behind."

Yang Xian took a deep breath and gently ruffled the girl's hair.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you."

"I certainly won't let you die."

Yang Xian raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the tense Qin Ya and Lu Wenxuan.

He made his decision: he would send Xiaobai to the Martial Arts University!

Once Xiaobai gets to university, he can receive better protection and access to more resources.

It's much better than having them by your side.

But this means they'll have to separate, and Xiaobai will be sad again.

"So, your choice is..."

Minister Zhao asked in a deep voice.

Qin Ya and Lu Wenxuan watched Yang Xian nervously, their palms sweating.

The two of them kept praying that Yang Xian would choose their school.

"I've decided... to send Xiaobai to Chengwu University!"

"Wuhu!"

Lu Wenxuan jumped up excitedly and gave Yang Xian a bear hug, exclaiming, "Brother! You have excellent taste! I guarantee you won't regret your decision!"

Some were happy while others were sad; Qin Ya sat to the side with a dejected look on her face.

I feel like I missed out on a promotion opportunity this year.

The two universities are roughly the same in terms of facilities; no matter which one you go to, Xiaobai will receive top-notch training.

However, Yang Xian's choice to inherit the martial arts was not arbitrary.

It's because... Luo Bingyan is at Chengwu University.

Yang Xian will also go there to study in the future.

Firstly, he wanted to learn something real at university.

Secondly, there were some things he needed to clarify with Luo Bingyan in person...

Does she even acknowledge me as her man?

Baby in my belly, do you want me, your real father?

If you don't agree, then let's part ways amicably and wish each other well.

If he admits it... then Yang Xian must take responsibility for it!

This isn't licking boots; it's a man's most basic responsibility!
