Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

Lin Xiao was stunned.

Ahead, a brand-new asphalt road, wide enough for four tanks to pass side by side, stretched straight into the distance.

The road surface was shiny black, obviously recently paved, and even had a strong, expensive asphalt smell.

Along the roadside, the weeds and dead trees that once grew there have all disappeared.

Instead, there are two rows of tall, straight, and lush sycamore trees!

Each of these sycamore trees is as thick as a person can hug, with lush green leaves that seem to exude a faint, vibrant energy.

"Qi and Blood Wutong Tree?"

Lin Xiao's eyelids twitched suddenly.

This thing is a rare commodity; a single sapling can cost over ten thousand yuan.

Usually, only high-end villa areas or top-tier universities like the "Big Three" are willing to invest in such places.

There are actually two whole rows of them planted here?

It seems to stretch on forever?

How much money will that cost?!

"Driver, are you sure we haven't taken the wrong road? Aren't we going to Huayang Martial Arts University? This is some kind of 5A-level resort area, isn't it?"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask the driver in front.

The driver, a taciturn veteran of the military, glanced at the rearview mirror upon hearing this, and his lips twitched strangely.

"Reporting to the commander, we did not make a mistake."

"Huayang Martial Arts University is just ahead."

The voice just fell.

The convoy rounded a bend, and the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Lin Xiao subconsciously looked up, and then...

He froze in his seat.

Mouth slightly open.

All that could be seen was the horizon.

A magnificent, resplendent, and even somewhat nouveau riche-looking archway stands silently in the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling light.

That's not cement, nor bricks.

That's... white jade!

The entire gate, which is thirty meters high, is carved entirely from white marble and features nine lifelike dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, exuding an imposing aura.

And directly above the main gate.

The four large, gold-plated characters "Huayang Wuda" ​​are written in a vigorous, flowing style, each character as big as a truck cab.

Between the lines, there was an extremely sharp sword intent that made one feel a slight pain on the skin, even from a distance.

The handwriting...

Lin Xiao's eyes twitched violently.

If I'm not mistaken, this handwriting looks a bit like that of a master.

This level of prestige is something even the Peking University of Martial Arts couldn't match!

"This...this is Huayang Martial Arts University?"

Lin Xiao held the tattered admission notice in his hand.

Using this as a reference point, look at the dazzling white jade gate in front of you.

He fell into deep self-doubt.

where am I?

Is this the legendary dilapidated school with a debt of 300 million yuan, where the head cafeteria chef ran away with a train overnight?

This is so bad, I'd believe it if you told me it was the imperial palace!

The convoy slowly came to a stop at the school gate.

A red carpet, already laid out, stretched from the main gate all the way to the foot of the car door.

The car door had just opened.

Two old men, dressed in brand-new haute couture suits, with their hair slicked back and even sprayed with hairspray, came rushing over at top speed.

"Lin Xiao! Oh my! I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon!"

The bald old man running at the front had a big smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face almost looked like a blooming chrysanthemum.

It was Liu Bo, the director of the admissions office of Huayang Wuda University.

Behind him, Principal Chu Shanhe was even more outrageous, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Although the suits they wore were expensive, they looked rather comical on them, like monkeys wearing traditional Chinese robes.

He looks exactly like a top-notch lecturer who just came from some pyramid scheme.

"Director Liu? Principal Chu?"

Lin Xiao was familiar with the faculty strength of Huayang Martial Arts University, and therefore knew about the two people in front of him.

He got out of the car and looked at the two old men in front of him, who were completely different from the ones in the photos. His lips twitched.

"Did you two... win the lottery? Or did you sell the school?"

"Hehehe, thanks to you, thanks to you!"

Chu Shanhe shoved the flowers into Lin Xiao's arms and held Lin Xiao's hand tightly, his enthusiasm even greater than when he saw his own father.

"Lin Xiao, are you satisfied with this school gate?"

Chu Shanhe pointed to the priceless white jade gate behind him, his face full of pride.

"The Ye family sent a construction team overnight to fix this! They hauled two hundred truckloads of these white marble pieces alone! That's what you call impressive!"

"There's still this road!"

Liu Bo chimed in, pointing to the asphalt road beneath their feet.

"This was sponsored by that rich principal from Shanghai! He said the road was uneven and he was worried it would hurt your feet! But it's paved to highway standards!"

"And there's the library, the gymnasium, the gravity chamber over there..."

Chu Shanhe waved his hand, his heroic spirit soaring to the clouds.

"The Temple of War, Longhu Mountain, and the Spiritual Mage Guild—they all donated a building!"

"Now, our Huayang Martial Arts University is top-of-the-line in every way except for the name!"

"Even the head chef in the cafeteria was poached by Principal Qian from a Michelin three-star restaurant! His braised pork is absolutely amazing!"

The two old men sang in unison, their faces beaming with smugness.

Lin Xiao was stunned.

Good guy.

Is this the legendary "When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"?

So, before I even arrived to register, these big shots had already renovated the school?

This isn't a school trip.

This is clearly someone who's here to ascend the throne!

"A school's prestige depends on its students... the ancients were right."

Lin Xiao shook his head and chuckled helplessly.

I thought I was coming to experience hard work and struggle, but it turned into a luxurious indulgence.

This guy's living off a woman...

Really fragrant.

"Alright, stop standing there and take me inside."

Lin Xiao waved his hand.

"Alright! Please! Please!"

Chu Shanhe and Liu Bo quickly bowed and led the way, their posture even more standard than that of a doorman at a five-star hotel.

however.

Just as Lin Xiao took a step, preparing to enter this "brand new" campus.

hum-

The All-Seeing Eye in his mind suddenly jolted.

A faint yet extremely sharp aura emanated from ahead.

Lin Xiao paused, and subconsciously looked up.

At the end of that wide avenue filled with spiritual energy.

A tall, slender figure walked towards them, backlit by the light.

The person was not wearing a school uniform, but rather a smart black outfit, with long, black hair tied up in a neat high ponytail.

As she walked, her ponytail swayed gently behind her head, creating a unique rhythm.

The sunlight was so bright that it made it difficult to see her face.

But Lin Xiao could clearly feel that the other person's gaze was fixed on him, spanning hundreds of meters.

There was no awe or worship in those eyes.

There was only a pure, unadulterated fighting spirit.

Amidst a crowd of people busy currying favor and reeking of money, this fighting spirit stood out incongruously, yet was exceptionally conspicuous.

Fourth-tier martial artist?

No, it doesn't seem like it.

But this sense of oppression is even stronger than Ye Chen's back then!

How could such a person be hiding in this run-down school?

The girl with the high ponytail stopped ten meters away from Lin Xiao.

She slightly raised her chin, revealing a beautiful face that was free of makeup but exuded a striking and heroic air, holding a long, sheathed sword in her hand.

"So you're the top student who insisted on coming to this lousy school?"

A cool voice rang out, carrying a hint of scrutiny, a hint of provocation, and a touch of...

Excitement and eagerness to try.

"I heard you're very strong."

"Shall we have a fight?"

Five-star review, I really need it!
