Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

The Martial Arts Alliance is divided into three battlefronts: the Northwest Battlefront, the East China Sea Defense Line, and the Southwest Advance Line.

Of the three fronts, the southwestern front was the most brutal, with all sorts of mutated creatures emerging in droves and the fighting never ceasing.

Why did the southwest become the most densely populated area of ​​war?

The answer is simple: there is a void rift in the southwest region, which is like an endless source, pouring mutated creatures into the world day after day.

Although mutated creatures also appeared on the Northwest Front and the East China Sea Defense Line, their numbers and ferocity were far less than one-tenth of those in the Southwest region, and the battle situation should have been relatively calm.

However, the situation on the Northwest front suddenly escalated, with the fighting becoming increasingly fierce, and several martial arts masters even falling on the battlefield.

According to the ranking system of the Martial Arts Alliance, those with a life energy level below level 12 are collectively referred to as "unranked".

Levels 12 to 18 are martial artists.

Levels 18 to 24 are Martial Arts Masters.

Levels 24 to 30 are Grand Martial Masters.

Levels 30 to 36 are Grandmasters.

Levels 36 to 42 are Grandmasters.

Above that are the three legendary realms: Martial King, Martial Emperor, and Martial Saint.

The legendary founder of the Martial Hall, who laid the foundation for martial arts, Tian Jingsha, had already reached the realm of Martial Saint, looking down upon all living beings.

……

The inexplicable loss of several martial arts masters on the Northwest front is Tang Long, the master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, and strangely enough, no abnormal clues have been found so far.

In the past, the Northwest War Zone was nothing more than a small skirmish between human warriors and mutated creatures. The occasional casualties were mostly low-level warriors. Such a tragic scene of a martial arts master falling should only have occurred on the Southwest Front.

As the battle intensified, the Martial Hall sensed the crisis and began a large-scale expansion to recruit more people.

Everyone knows that if the war escalates to a fever pitch, the entire population may become a soldier.

"All the major martial arts halls tacitly agreed to move up the special recruitment time."

"Our Starry Sky Martial Hall was the first to react, and I imagine the other two Martial Halls won't delay for long either."

Meanwhile, in the Jingshan residential area of ​​Jiangcheng.

[Your account ending in 2858 has received 50000.00 Blue Star Coins. The transfer was made to your account ending in XXX. Your current balance is 138482.1 Blue Star Coins.]

Lin Yue looked at the payment notification on his phone and understood:

"It seems the scholarship for advancing to the elite class has arrived."

The last time the principal awarded a top-tier scholarship, it was 8 Blue Star Coins. With the addition of 5 for this promotion to the elite class, the total is 13.

13 Blue Star Coins is equivalent to more than half a year's total income for an average family, which is a considerable sum.

"If I use all these Blue Star coins for cultivation, it should be enough to support my expenses for about eight months," Lin Yue quickly calculated in his mind.

"A bottle of basic body-strengthening liquid costs about 8000 Blue Star Coins. With the Moon Dew Drops distributed by the system every day to assist in cultivation, this 13 is enough for me to steadily improve for a period of time."

"Uncle Gu Feng is right. There's really no need to rush into signing that Level D contract with the Xuan Tian Martial Hall right now," Lin Yue murmured.

As soon as he finished speaking, a semi-transparent system panel appeared in front of him.

[Daily Summary: Today I entered the Elite Class and successfully advanced to Gold rank on Battle.net.]

[Rating: Above Average]

[Reward: A wisp of "Fist Intent," which, once absorbed, is equivalent to a day of arduous training.]

"Accept it." Lin Yue silently recited in his heart, and a warm and gentle power instantly entered his body, flowing through his limbs and bones.

Afterward, he raised his hand and practiced a set of basic boxing techniques. As the punches gradually subsided, the fatigue from days of training dissipated by more than half.

……

Inside the principal's office of Jiangcheng Wuke Affiliated Middle School, Cai Yue held a holographic communicator, his tone full of surprise:

"What? You're saying the Starry Sky Martial Arts Hall will be recruiting students at our school tomorrow? Your father isn't joking, is he?"

Early admissions are not unheard of, but that happened a long time ago.

On the other end of the communicator, Tang Jingyue's tone was exceptionally serious: "Principal Cai, I'm not joking at all. You'll understand once you read one of the reports."

"File is being transferred..."

"Beep beep beep—"

"Transmission successful."

On Cai Yue's holographic screen, an encrypted file instantly popped up. He opened it and exclaimed, "It's actually a frontline casualty report from the Northwest Front?"

As the principal of Jiangcheng Wuke Affiliated Middle School, Cai Yue had heard about the front-line battles, but knew very little about them. Such detailed casualty figures were not secrets that someone of his rank could access.

Only the heads of the various martial arts halls are authorized to access these classified reports.

After all, the Martial Hall is the main force in fighting against mutated creatures. Apart from that, only the top students of the Martial Arts University and high-ranking military officials are qualified to know the inside story.

After quickly reviewing the report, Cai Yue sighed heavily, his tone filled with regret:

"So the casualties on the front lines have been this heavy. No wonder the Martial Hall is so eager to recruit people... Times are really changing."

Although the students specially recruited this time will not be immediately sent to the front line as the main force, with the front-line battle intensifying, it is only a matter of time before they go to the battlefield.

Meanwhile, inside the Xuantian Martial Hall.

Wang Daogang's face darkened instantly upon receiving the order from headquarters for early recruitment:

"What did you say? The people from the Starry Sky Martial Hall have already started their operation ahead of schedule?"

"I didn't expect that old scoundrel Tang Long to move so quickly." He cursed under his breath, then gave orders to his men.

"You all should get ready quickly, I will personally go to all the high schools tomorrow."

Wang Dao's tone was grave: "These mutated creatures are becoming increasingly rampant."

......

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the entrance to the elite class of Jiangcheng Wuke Affiliated Middle School was already crowded with people.

Principal Cai Yue, along with the school's core faculty, waited at the entrance early. Upon seeing Tang Long and his group approach, they immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Lord Tang, hello, you must be tired from your journey."

The special admission of students to the Martial Arts Hall is a great event for any martial arts-affiliated high school, as it not only concerns the school's reputation but also the students' future.

"What? The Martial Hall is actually recruiting through special channels?"

"Am I remembering correctly? Isn't the Martial Hall's special recruitment supposed to be next month? Why are they here now?"

In the corridor, passing students stopped and looked at each other, whispering amongst themselves as everyone wondered what the Martial Hall was trying to achieve by recruiting students ahead of schedule.

"Could it be that our school has produced some top genius who has caught the eye of the Martial Hall, who are coming here specifically to recruit them in advance?"

……

Tang Long's gaze swept over the students present, a smile playing on his lips. He then spoke to Guo Jingyao and Principal Tan beside him:

"Teacher Guo, Principal Tan, the students in your school are all in great spirit and are all promising talents."

As the master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, Tang Long was already a grandmaster with unfathomable strength and a keen eye, able to see the potential of these students at a glance.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he changed the subject, smiling as he asked, "Principal Tan, what's your school's decision regarding Xu Beihai?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding chatter subsided instantly, and someone whispered among themselves:

"As expected, they came for Xu Beihai after all."

Xu Beihai is a top expert in the first tier of the elite class, with strength far exceeding his peers. He is sought after by the three major martial arts halls, a fact that is already common knowledge in the school.

Guo Jingyao, standing next to Principal Tan, looked slightly helpless and slowly replied:

"Palace Master Tang, I'm truly sorry, but Bei Hai is currently in seclusion cultivating and has no intention of joining any Martial Hall at the moment."

Speaking of Xu Beihai, Guo Jingyao also had a headache.

Although strong students are always favored by teachers, Xu Beihai's personality was too withdrawn. He was so withdrawn that he hardly communicated with his classmates and teachers. He spent his days with only some domesticated gorillas, leopards, and tigers, immersing himself in his own world of cultivation.

Tang Long gently shook his head, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, and sighed:

"In that case, I won't force you. Let's look at the other students first."

He had been paying attention to Xu Beihai for a long time and knew how outstanding the boy's talent was.

Xu Beihai's control over true qi far surpasses that of martial artists of the same age. Given time, he will surely break through to the Grandmaster realm, and may even catch up with me and become the new generation of Palace Master.

The Starry Sky Martial Hall has 13 branch halls, each with a corresponding hall master. If Xu Beihai can be recruited into the hall, the strength of the Starry Sky Martial Hall will undoubtedly rise to another level.

While it may not far surpass the Xuan Tian and Chi Tian Martial Halls, it can at least steadily outclass them.
