High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 123: Chapter 116: Sudden Upheaval

Buzz!

Open the projection.

Immediately, a stream of messages emerged.

”An admission invitation from Martial Arts University!” Jiang Ye saw these messages, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

He stopped cultivating and immediately returned home from the rooftop terrace.

And during this process, more than ten messages came in.

Feeling the constantly vibrating wristband, Jiang Ye was filled with anticipation.

Compared to signing contracts in advance, the invitation letters sent this time were truly heavyweight.

After returning home, Jiang Dahai and his wife also gathered around when they heard the news.

”Quick, let’s see which universities there are?” Jiang Dahai was full of anticipation.

”Mm!” Jiang Ye nodded.

Open the projection.

[West Mountain University Admission Invitation]

[Extreme Sea University Admission Invitation]

[North Sea University Admission Invitation]

...

”The Twenty-Five Schools Alliance, all sent invitation letters?” Jiang Dahai showed a look of astonishment.

Not only that,

some ordinary Martial Arts Universities also sent invitations.

”Hahaha!” Jiang Dahai couldn’t help but laugh loudly: ”My son is in such demand, even the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance is competing to grab him.”

”Oh dear, keep your composure.” Li Anping complained beside him, but couldn’t stop smiling either.

They were genuinely proud of their child’s achievements.

Jiang Ye smiled and shook his head, feeling quite delighted himself.

He clicked on the invitation letters one by one.

[West Mountain University—Hello, student Jiang Ye! West Mountain University is a historical and rich foundation...]

[We sincerely invite you to sign an Upper A-level contract with our school.]

[Every year, you can receive 1.8 million in free cultivation resources, choose any Yellow Tier cultivation technique...]

”West Mountain University.” Jiang Ye glanced at it: ”An Upper A-level contract?”

West Mountain University is the only Twenty-Five Schools Alliance university in West Mountain Province.

It is also a holy place in the hearts of countless students in West Mountain Province!

But unfortunately, it ranks last and is not within Jiang Ye’s consideration.

He clicked on the other invitation letters one by one.

Most schools sent Middle A or Upper A-level contracts.

Some of the top-ranked ones sent A-level contracts.

A few minutes later.

Jiang Ye’s gaze stopped on the last invitation letter.

”Penglai University.” He took a deep breath.

Click to open the invitation letter.

”Wow~” A burst of light surged.

In the holographic projection appeared an incredibly grand school, standing on the coast of the East Sea, with countless floating buildings like floating islands revolving around a towering platinum stone monument.

”As expected from the top-notch Penglai University.” Jiang Dahai marveled beside him: ”Even the invitation letter has an introductory animation.”

Afterward, several lines of subtitles appeared in the projection.

They mainly introduced the history and glorious past of the school.

”Penglai University, in Tianhai City, East Sea Province?” Jiang Ye noticed a line of text and was slightly moved.

He remembered that Chen Zilu’s White Dragon University was also in Tianhai City.

Not paying attention to these, he quickly looked at the invitation letter’s content.

”B Level contract?” Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow.

Compared to previous early contracts, this was a significant upgrade.

Jiang Dahai beside him was a bit dissatisfied: ”This Penglai University, why not give my son an A Level?”

”Dad.” Jiang Ye shook his head and smiled: ”Penglai University’s score threshold this year reached 890 points or more.”

”The contract level is based on raw scores, and I barely made the cut.”

Jiang Ye wasn’t disappointed, quite the opposite, he was pleasantly surprised.

His raw score was 895, so even if Penglai University only gave a C-Level contract, it would be reasonable.

B Level? It was already beyond expectations.

Continuing to look down.

”Every year, you can receive 2.4 million in free cultivation resources, and choose one Middle-Level Profound Tier cultivation technique.”

”Every year, five opportunities to enter the ’Penglai Nine Refinements’.”

”Upon enrollment, a Star Weapon can be customized without any fee.”

”Every year, there’s one opportunity for further study at White Dragon University.”

”... After enrollment, based on performance in ’Heaven-Reaching Refining,’ the contract level can be upgraded.”

Jiang Ye carefully read the contract.

Took a deep breath.

”Excellent!”

”As expected from Penglai University.” He couldn’t help clenching his fist.

These benefits far exceeded the Upper A-level contracts from Extreme Sea University, West Mountain University, and others.

”Dad, I’ve decided on Penglai University.” Jiang Ye looked at Jiang Dahai.

”You’ve already decided?” Jiang Dahai reminded: ”Why not wait a bit longer? I see there are other schools sending messages.”

”No need.” Jiang Ye shook his head.

Waiting can’t bring an invitation from the top ten prestigious schools.

”Alright.” Jiang Dahai nodded: ”Penglai University it is then!”

With Jiang Dahai and Li Anping as witnesses, Jiang Ye directly filled in the application on his wristband.

After completing the process, Jiang Dahai did not linger at home and went out for his night shift as usual.

...

Late at night.

Jiang Ye was once again on the rooftop terrace.

He was diligently cultivating the ”Star Martial Advancement Technique” and ”Nine Luminaries Star Stepping.”

In the two days after the college entrance examination, he didn’t stop for a moment.

In two days’ time, these two cultivation techniques improved by 10% and 2% respectively.

Nine Luminaries Star Stepping, after all, is an Earth Tier Technique.

Plus, without a teacher to guide him, improving it was quite difficult.

”After entering Penglai University.”

”I’ll strive to get an A Level contract as soon as possible, or even an Upper A.” Jiang Ye thought: ”The sooner I get a higher-level contract, the more it benefits me.”

Although the B Level contract was already enough to surprise him.

Not getting an A Level still left him somewhat unsatisfied.

Fortunately, contract levels are not fixed.

As long as he performs excellently in college, there’s an opportunity to upgrade his contract.

Of course, it would be quite challenging.

”My greatest opportunity might be the ’Heaven-Reaching Refining’ after enrollment.” Jiang Ye opened the wristband projection.

A document emerged.

It was a detailed material sent by Penglai University after he completed his application.

The material mainly outlined necessary knowledge after enrollment.

The foundation of Penglai University’s establishment rests on the central platinum Heaven-Reaching stone monument, known as ’Penglai Nine Refinements’!

It’s said there are nine levels inside.

Each level cleared rewards extremely generous prizes, along with an enhancement in campus status.

The first level is ’Heaven-Reaching Refining.’

”Heaven-Reaching Refining is a real-world test.” Jiang Ye read the material: ”I need to enhance my combat abilities as much as possible.”

For a foundation such as Penglai University to be considered, it’s naturally not something easily passed.

It surely screens out true geniuses.

Only with absolute strength can one stand out.

Jiang Ye never forgot his goal.

Penglai University was just a starting point.

In the future, he would set his sights on the entire world, and even that vast starry sky.

Until one day, the entire Blue Star Federation echoes with An City’s name.

”Cultivate.”

Jiang Ye turned into a shadow, constantly flickering on the rooftop terrace.

...

While Jiang Ye was engrossed in cultivation.

An City, Shadow Hunting Bureau.

Shadow Disaster Prevention and Control Center.

Here were several massive monitoring devices, shaped like satellite dishes, which were used to monitor the Starry Sky Corridor and prepare in advance for the emergence of Shadow Disasters.

In the past, this region was peaceful.

But on this day.

”Buzz!”

Suddenly, one of the monitoring devices vibrated slightly.

Buzz! Buzz!

Buzz buzz buzz!

Soon, all monitoring devices began vibrating one after another.

The next moment.

”Woo—”

”Woo—”

A series of low, dense alarm sounds suddenly rang throughout the Shadow Hunting Bureau, piercing through the endless long night.

Instantly.

The entire Shadow Hunting Bureau seemed to ’come alive.’

One powerful aura after another burst forth.

”What’s going on?”

Some staff members on duty walked out of their rooms, faces filled with shock and uncertainty.

An City Shadow Hunting Bureau hadn’t sounded an alarm in decades.

The occurrence of such a dense alarm could only mean—

A Shadow Disaster had arrived!
