Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

"Want to see the other students too?" The students watching instantly lit up, their faces filled with delight, and even their chatter became a little lighter.

Cai Yue took half a step forward, raised his hand to quiet the crowd, and explained gently:

"Due to certain special reasons, the Martial Hall's special recruitment has been brought forward by two months. Students, please don't be too surprised."

Special reasons?

Lin Yue stood in the crowd, his brows furrowed, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

Although he had received the D-level contract from the Xuantian Martial Hall long ago, it was just a document for transfer. He had never experienced such a grand occasion as the Hall Master personally visiting and recruiting him offline.

What special reason could possibly warrant the Hall Master of the Martial Hall personally visiting and activating a special recruitment drive ahead of schedule?

"As for the specific reasons, I'm sure everyone will find out from the news in a few days." Cai Yue did not reveal the truth to the public.

How dare he reveal the news of the defeat on the Northwest front to the public in advance?

If a middle school principal were to rashly leak secrets that the state has not yet officially announced, causing panic among students and social unrest, the consequences would be far beyond what he could bear.

Tang Jingyue stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the students' curious faces, and spoke clearly:

"That's right. Due to special circumstances, the special recruitment has been launched ahead of schedule, and the conditions for the Martial Hall's special recruitment this time will be much more lenient than in the past."

In the past, each martial arts affiliated middle school could only admit two or three students through the special recruitment of the Martial Arts Hall, all of whom were exceptional talents selected from among thousands.

However, with the war at the front lines in full swing, the Martial Hall is facing a huge shortage of personnel. If the conditions are not relaxed, these promising students will likely be poached by the Xuan Tian and Chi Tian Martial Halls.

Although this will lead to a decline in the overall quality of students recruited by the Martial Hall, it is a necessary measure at present. As long as we can stand firm in this war, what does it matter if we make a temporary concession in quality?

wow——

These words were like a pebble thrown into boiling water, instantly causing an uproar among the students watching. Discussions and exclamations rose and fell, filling the entire corridor in an instant.

"What? The conditions are more lenient than before? I can't believe my ears!" Someone clenched their fist, their voice filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Everyone knows that once you can enter the Martial Hall in advance, you can enjoy all kinds of exclusive privileges of the Martial Hall. The continuous supply of cultivation resources alone is enough to make most students from ordinary families envious.

In fact, most of the students present came from ordinary families and did not have enough financial resources to support high-intensity training. Joining the Martial Hall would not only allow them to quickly improve their strength, but also pave a shortcut for them to be admitted to a martial arts university in the future, which would be of great benefit.

"Does that mean I also have a chance to enter the Martial Hall ahead of time?" a student couldn't help but mutter to himself, his eyes full of longing.

"Stop dreaming! Who's peeing yellow? Wake him up!" Someone nearby immediately joked, but there was also a hint of barely perceptible expectation in their tone.

Tang Long looked at the noisy yet energetic students, a slight smile on his lips, and said to Cai Yue:

"Principal Cai, your school's students are all very active and full of energy."

"It seems everyone is happy to join the Starry Sky Martial Hall and do their part to protect the Blue Star."

Cai Yue quickly took over the conversation, his voice rising a few octaves higher than usual, deliberately suppressing a hint of unease in his heart, and said loudly:

"Please be quiet, everyone! The early recruitment of Martial Halls is a unified plan of the Martial Arts Alliance, not an action taken by any single Martial Hall."

"The three major martial arts halls, Starry Sky, Profound Heaven, and Blazing Heaven, will be conducting special recruitment at various martial arts affiliated middle schools in the near future."

"Students who were not selected by the Starry Sky Martial Hall should not be discouraged. There are still the Profound Heaven Martial Hall and the Blazing Heaven Martial Hall to come."

"As for the specific standards for relaxing the special recruitment criteria, each Martial Hall will have its own plan. Please wait patiently for further notice."

......

After the noise subsided, Tang Long turned to Tang Jingyue beside him and instructed him:

"Jingyue, go and see if any of these students meet the special admission criteria."

"Yes, Father." Tang Jingyue stepped forward, his sharp gaze sweeping over the students present, a hint of surprise gradually appearing on his face.

He didn't expect that a few of these students would actually meet the special recruitment criteria.

"Teacher Guo, could you authorize the testing equipment?" Tang Jingyue asked.

"Give me permission," Guo Jingyao said in a low voice.

wow——

A large number of testing devices were rotated out from the ceiling.

Then, a mechanical voice rang out.

"Authorization in progress, homeroom teacher, Guo Jingyao."

"Authorization successful."

"Hou Zhi, Chen Bo, do your best," Guo Jingyao said.

"Yes."

......

Initially, he came to Jiangcheng Martial Arts Affiliated Middle School with his father, intending only to recruit the boy with ancient martial arts skills, and never expected to recruit anyone else from this group of students.

Even though he received news yesterday that the Martial Hall was expanding its recruitment, he didn't have high expectations.

After all, top-tier experts are scarce, and even if the requirements are relaxed, there may not be many people who can meet the standards.

The martial arts world is inherently cruel. If you don't have enough strength, no matter how lenient the special recruitment conditions are, you will never be able to step into the threshold of the Martial Hall.

Opportunity always favors the prepared. Looking at the selected students, many people around instantly showed regret, secretly blaming themselves for not practicing hard enough. They were so close to being selected, yet they ultimately missed the opportunity.

Ultimately, two students successfully obtained the Starry Sky Martial Hall's D-level contract (expanded version).

Tang Jingyue looked at the two of them and read out the contract terms: "This contract stipulates that you will receive 80 Blue Star Coins per year, plus cultivation resources worth 20 Blue Star Coins."

He added, "Because this is an expanded recruitment version, the compensation will be slightly lower than a regular D-level contract."

Even so, the annual reward of 80 Blue Star Coins was enough to make all the students present very excited.

They are still students, and such generous treatment is something that many ordinary families cannot earn in several years.

"I have sent the contract to your personal client. If you are interested in joining the Starry Sky Martial Hall, you can go to the Starry Sky Martial Hall tomorrow to participate in the trial training."

"If you pass the trial, we will officially sign this Level D contract with you."

Cai Yue looked at the list, a hint of doubt on his face, and couldn't help but ask:

"Palace Master Tang, besides these two students, are there no other students who meet the requirements?"

In his view, while these two students were certainly excellent, they were still a step behind Lin Yue.

Lin Yue was exceptionally talented and had a calm demeanor, so it was quite unexpected that he wasn't chosen.

Not only Cai Yue, but Li Yuan and Guo Jingyao, who were standing to the side, also nodded, their eyes full of doubt. Logically speaking, he was definitely qualified to be selected.

Tang Long simply smiled faintly and did not answer.

His true goal cannot be easily seen through.

However, the boy named Lin Yue was somewhat unexpected. Despite so many classmates being selected, he remained calm and showed no impatience whatsoever. This composure was truly rare.

Tang Long secretly admired him: "Such a remarkable temperament, he truly is a scion of a reclusive family."

Possessing ancient martial arts skills and such a calm and composed temperament, he is indeed the young master of some reclusive family who has come out to gain experience.

While pondering, Tang Long slowly spoke:

"Of course."
