High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 35: Cultivation Plan

Through conversations with Teacher Xu Bo and Instructor Xing, Li Yuan understood that signing a contract in advance did not mean he could skip university. The early contract was essentially an investment by the Martial Hall. The hall would provide Li Yuan with certain cultivation guidance, but it wouldn't cover everything.

The best path for him was still to take the college entrance exam and go to a martial arts university.

"According to Teacher Xu, the Martial Hall is a gathering place for martial artists, bearing the responsibility of combat rather than training within human civilization."

"The Martial Hall needs combat power," Li Yuan thought. "The responsibility of training falls on martial arts universities, where the most comprehensive martial artist training takes place."

"Whether it's the state or the Seven Star Alliance, all kinds of precious resources are allocated to martial arts universities."

"Many precious resources are provided for free at universities but cost a fortune at the Martial Hall."

"Some precious resources aren't available even at the Martial Hall."

Going to a martial arts university would provide the best martial arts education.

Many top martial artists would rotate through various martial arts universities to teach and mentor younger generations.

"Only by undergoing systematic training at a martial arts university can one tread a more stable and farther path as a martial artist," Li Yuan did not dare to be arrogant.

Sure, he had the fortunate awakening of the Divine Palace, but the more he saw, the more he realized his own insignificance.

"Just like Uncle said."

"On the path of growth, sometimes one needs the support of benefactors and the aid of opportunities," Li Yuan murmured to himself. "Teacher Xu Bo is my benefactor."

"Signing with Starlight Martial Hall early is my opportunity."

"My task is to make good use of them to help me enter broader fields."

...

In the Starlight Space.

"Little Jade, don't I have 3 million cultivation points?" Li Yuan asked in confusion. "Why does it show 2.8 million?"

"Master."

"As an L3 member, you enjoy many privileges each year, such as family cards and your exclusive martial arts room, which require a deduction of 200,000 points. This deduction is mandatory," the girl in purple explained playfully. "Cultivation points are unique to those who signed early as martial arts geniuses."

"They function similarly to points but can only be used to purchase non-material martial arts cultivation services."

"The 200,000 points to be deducted will be offset by your cultivation points first," the girl in purple said.

Li Yuan immediately understood.

If points were the internal currency of the Martial Hall, then cultivation points... were like 'coupons' for those who signed early, with many restrictions.

"They can only be used to pay annual fees, receive guidance from master teachers, purchase skill manuals, source power manuals, and cultivation video guidance..." Li Yuan reviewed the uses of cultivation points.

All non-material items.

"No wonder the Martial Hall is so generous," Li Yuan muttered. "Three million cultivation points? Nominally worth three million Blue Star Coins, but items like manuals and training videos... the Martial Hall can copy countless copies if they wish, costing almost nothing."

Some cultivation resources could be replicated and were not truly valuable, so the Martial Hall appeared generous.

However, physical resources, such as qi and blood potions, required significant resources to produce and were strictly controlled in terms of gifting.

Of course, while cultivation points weren't as valuable as points, they were still quite beneficial.

.....

"The higher the level within the Martial Hall, the greater the privileges, and the fewer points needed for the same services?" Li Yuan read the Starlight level description. "I'm currently L3, which isn't too bad among all Martial Hall members."

From his discussions with Instructor Xing, he had some understanding.

L1 was for trial members.

L2 was the level of most Martial Hall members, with martial artists below level 15, including preparatory members with D-level and C-level contracts.

L3 typically included grassroots managers or preparatory members with B-level contracts.

L4 and L5 often required a second-tier source martial artist.

Like Hall Master Wan, who was an L5 member.

"Unless I upgrade to an A-level contract, I'll remain an L3 member until I become a second-tier source martial artist," Li Yuan reviewed the requirements of his B-level contract.

To advance in Starlight levels? It depended on talent, strength, and contributions to the Martial Hall.

Preparatory members with A-level contracts were L4 members.

Preparatory members with S-level contracts? They were directly L5 members!

If Li Yuan wanted to upgrade from a B-level to an A-level contract? According to the contract, there were three ways.

"First, awaken martial arts spirituality."

"Second, get admitted to Starlight University."

"Third, reach 300 points in the Meteor Rank on the Starry Sky Combat Network before turning 18," Li Yuan frowned slightly.

The first and second paths were almost the same in Li Yuan's eyes.

"If I can awaken martial arts spirituality, with a 10% score bonus, the probability of me getting into Starlight University after eight months of hard training is very high," Li Yuan thought. "Without awakening spirituality, the probability of getting into Starlight University is almost zero."

Starlight University, along with Starry Sky University and Blackstone University, were the top three martial arts schools globally.

From their names, it was clear that these top three martial arts schools were closely linked to the three major Martial Halls.

Getting into them was much harder than getting into the top five universities in China.

The top five universities in China combined enroll about 10,000 students annually nationwide.

Globally, there are over a dozen martial arts universities comparable to the top five in China

But Starlight University, as Li Yuan knew, enrolled fewer than 1,000 students globally each year, with no more than 300 in China.

Those who could get into the top three martial arts schools from China, except for a few specially recruited students, were at least top ten martial arts geniuses in the province.

"Legend has it that those who successfully graduate from Starlight University are basically second-tier source martial artists," Li Yuan shook his head slightly.

Provincial martial arts universities, the top five universities in China, and the top three martial arts schools globally... These were three distinct levels.

"Top ten in martial arts in the province?"

It wasn't that Li Yuan didn't dare to think about it, but without awakening martial arts spirituality, how could he imagine it?

Even if Li Yuan scored 1000 points in martial arts, it would be hard to break into the top ten in the province.

Others had a total score of 1100.

One must be realistic.

"My score hasn't even reached the top ten in my grade at school, let alone the province?" Li Yuan stopped thinking about it. "Compared to the first two, the third path is more realistic."

Before turning 18, reaching 300 points in the Meteor Rank on the Starry Sky Combat Network.

This path was also difficult, but with Li Yuan's rapid progress in martial arts skills, there was a glimmer of hope.

.....

After clarifying everything.

Li Yuan said softly, "Little Jade, I need a cultivation guidance plan tailored to me."

"Alright."

"Please re-enter your information accurately," Little said. "This will allow the Martial Hall's intelligent system to create the best plan."

Woosh~

With a wave of Little Jade's hand, a light screen appeared.

It had numerous fields to fill in.

Age, gender, life level, punch power, burst speed, weapon used, martial arts skills, cultivation methods... over a hundred items.

"The Martial Hall should have my information, but they probably want to confirm it again," Li Yuan thought as he filled out each item.

With the Divine Palace interface, the accuracy of Li Yuan's information would inevitably surpass other preparatory members.

"Please wait, Master," Little Jade said. "I'm requesting intelligent resources to generate your cultivation plan."

More than ten minutes later.

"Master, it is done," Little said. "Please review it."

Buzz~

A large light screen quickly appeared before Li Yuan, filled with dense text and descriptions.

"To improve physical fitness, mainly take basic qi and blood potions, one bottle every two days... Since no high-level cultivation methods are practiced, take at least one source power elixir monthly," Li Yuan read the first item. "Monthly cost: about 130,000 Blue Star Coins/points."

"Basic spirit-nourishing potions, three bottles monthly, cost about 90,000 Blue Star Coins/points..."

"Deep medicinal baths, once every ten days, monthly cost about 30,000 Blue Star Coins/points..."

"Purchase second-tier spear technique 'Starry Spear Technique,' price: 1 million cultivation points."

"Purchase second-tier movement technique 'Dragon Walk Movement Technique,' price: 1 million cultivation points."

"Master guidance, hire a second-tier source martial artist for spear and movement technique guidance, once a month, each session costs 100,000 cultivation points/points/Blue Star Coins..."
