High-Level Martial Era -
Chapter 37: 35 Training Plan
After communicating with Teacher Xu and Instructor Xing,
Li Yuan understood that signing a contract in advance didn't mean he could forgo attending university.
An early contract was essentially an investment by the Martial Hall; they would provide Li Yuan with some guidance in his cultivation but wouldn't cover everything.
For him, the best path was still to take the college entrance exam and attend a Martial Arts University.
"According to Teacher Xu, the Martial Hall is a gathering place for martial artists and in the grand scheme of human civilization, its role is to be combat-ready, not necessarily to nurture talent,"
"What the Martial Hall needs more is immediate combat power," Li Yuan mused quietly, "The responsibility for nurturing lies with the Martial Arts University. That's where the most comprehensive training for martial artists is available."
"Be it the nation or the Seven Star Alliance, all sorts of precious resources are poured into Martial Arts Universities."
"Many invaluable resources are provided for free in universities, but inside the Martial Hall, you have to spend a fortune to acquire them."
"Even some priceless resources aren't available in the Martial Hall."
Attending a Martial Arts University would mean receiving the best martial artists' education.
Many top martial artists would take turns serving and mentoring students at various Martial Arts Universities.
"Only through systematic study at a Martial Arts University can one proceed more steadily and farther on the path of a martial artist," Li Yuan didn't dare overestimate himself.
It's true he had awoken the Mind Spirit Divine Palace by chance, but the more he saw, the more he realized how insignificant he was.
"Just like uncle said,"
"On the road to growth, sometimes you need the support of influential people, and sometimes you need opportunities," Li Yuan murmured, "Teacher Xu is my benefactor."
"Signing a contract early with Starfire Martial Hall is my opportunity."
"What I need to do is to make good use of them to help me enter a broader domain."
...
Inside the Starfire Space,
"Little Jade, weren't my cultivation points 3 million?" Li Yuan asked in confusion, "Why does it show 2.8 million now?"
"Master,"
"As an L3-level member, you enjoy many privileges from the Martial Hall every year, like the family card and your exclusive Martial Arts Room... You have to pay 200,000 points for these, which are automatically deducted," the girl in purple said playfully, "Cultivation points are unique to martial arts prodigies who have signed early contracts."
"They work similarly to points but can only be used to purchase non-physical martial arts cultivation services."
"The 200,000 points you need to deduct will be taken first from your cultivation points," the girl in purple added.
Li Yuan immediately understood.
If points are considered the internal currency of the Martial Hall, then cultivation points... are like 'coupons' for early signees, with many restrictions.
"It can only be used for paying annual fees, mentorship from famous teachers, skill secret manuals, Origin Power manuals, cultivation video tutorials..." Li Yuan browsed the uses of cultivation points.
All of which were non-physical.
"No wonder the Martial Hall is so generous," Li Yuan muttered, "3 million cultivation points? In name, they're worth 3 million Blue Star Coins, but items like various secret manuals and cultivation videos... the Martial Hall could recreate numerous copies if they were willing, with almost zero cost."
Some cultivation resources, being replicable, aren't genuinely precious, so the Martial Hall can afford to be more generous with them.
But physical resources, like qi and blood elixirs, truly require a substantial use of resources to create, so the Martial Hall would strictly control the distribution of these.
Of course, even though cultivation points aren't as good as points, they're still quite useful.
...
"The higher the rank within the Martial Hall, the greater the privileges and the fewer points needed for the same services?" Li Yuan examined the Starfire ranking explanations, "At L3 level, I'm not doing too badly among all Martial Hall members."
He learned this after talking with Instructor Xing.
L1 level is for trial members.
L2 is the rank for most members of the Martial Hall. At this level, the members, mostly martial artists under level 15, and those with D-tier or C-tier preliminary contracts, fall under this category.
L3 usually consists of basic-level Martial Hall managers or members on preliminary B-tier contracts.
To reach L4 or L5 levels, one usually has to be a Second Rank Prime Warrior.
For someone like Lord Wan, he's an L5-level member.
"Unless I upgrade to an A-tier contract, I'll remain an L3-level member until I become a Second Rank Prime Warrior," Li Yuan reviewed the requirements for his B-tier contract.
Want to move up in Starfire ranks? It depends on your innate talent and strength, as well as your contributions to the Martial Hall.
Provisional members with an A-tier contract belong to L4 level.
And S-tier contract's provisional members? Directly L5 level members!
If Li Yuan wished to move from a B-tier to an A-tier contract? According to the contract stipulations, there are three ways to do that.
"First, awaken the Martial Spirit."
"Second, get into Starfire University."
"Third, reach the Fallen Star rank with 300 points on the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18." Li Yuan frowned slightly.
The first and second routes were nearly the same in Li Yuan's eyes.
"If I can awaken the Martial Spirit and get a 10% score bonus, with eight months of hard work and training, my chances of getting into Starfire University are extremely high." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Without awakening the Spiritual Nature, the chances of getting into Starfire University are basically zero."
Starfire University is globally known as one of the top three elite martial schools, alongside Starry Sky University and Black Stone University.
From their names alone, one can hear the inseparable relationship these top three elite martial schools have with the three major Martial Halls.
The difficulty of gaining admission to them is far higher than the top five famous schools of Xia Country.
The top five famous schools of Xia Country together enroll about ten thousand students each year within the country.
Looking globally, there are more than a dozen Martial Arts Universities comparable to Xia Country's top five.
However, as far as Li Yuan knew, Starfire University only enrolls less than a thousand students globally each year, and no more than three hundred within Xia Country.
Those in Xia Country who can gain admission to one of the top three elite martial schools are, with few exceptions for specially recruited students, at least among the top ten martial talents of their province.
"Legend has it, those who successfully graduate from Starfire University are mostly Second Rank Prime Warriors." Li Yuan shook his head slightly.
Provincial Martial Arts Universities, the top five famous schools of Xia Country, and the top three elite global martial schools... these represent three distinct levels.
"Martial Path grades, top ten in the province?"
It's not that Li Yuan didn't dare to dream, but without awakening the Martial Spirit, was he supposed to just wish for it?
Even if Li Yuan were to score 1000 points in his Martial Arts Skills, it would still be hard to break into the top ten of his province.
The others have a total score of 1100 points.
One must be realistic in life.
"My score isn't even in the top ten within my school year, let alone the whole province." Li Yuan didn't ponder further, "Compared to the first two routes, the third one seems more realistic."
Reaching the Fallen Star rank with 300 points on the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18.
This path was difficult as well, but considering the rate of improvement in Li Yuan's Martial Arts Skills, there was a glimmer of hope.
...
After clarifying everything.
Li Yuan spoke softly, "Xiao Yu, I need a training guidance plan tailored for me."
"Okay."
"First, please fill out your personal information again, and be sure to provide accurate details," Xiao Yu said. "This way, the Martial Hall's intelligent system can make the best plan."
Hu~
With a wave of Xiao Yu's hand, a light screen immediately appeared.
It displayed many fields waiting to be filled out.
Age, gender, Life Level, Fist Strength, Burst Speed, weapon used, Martial Arts Skills, Cultivation Techniques... there were more than a hundred items.
"The Martial Hall should have my information, but it probably wants to double-check," Li Yuan thought, as he filled out each item.
With the Divine Palace panel at his disposal, the accuracy of the information Li Yuan provided was destined to be far beyond what other reserve members could offer.
"Please wait a moment, Master," Xiao Yu said. "I am requesting to utilize the intelligent resources to develop a cultivation plan for you."
Ten minutes later.
"Master, it is complete," Xiao Yu announced. "Please review it."
Weng~
Quickly, a huge light screen appeared in front of Li Yuan, filled with densely packed text and explanations.
"To aid the improvement of physical quality, the main recommendation is to take a Basic Blood Medicine every two days... Due to the lack of high-rank Cultivation Techniques, one must take at least one Essence Pill of Origin Power per month." Li Yuan read the first item, "The monthly cost is about 130,000 Blue Star Coins/points."
"Basic Spirit-Nourishing Elixirs, three bottles a month, cost about 90,000 Blue Star Coins/points..."
"Deep Medicinal Baths, once every ten days, with a monthly cost of about 30,000 Blue Star Coins/points..."
"Purchase the Second Rank Spear Technique 'Stellar Spear Technique' for 1 million Cultivation Points."
"Purchase the Second Rank movement technique 'Dragon Movement Technique' for 1 million Cultivation Points."
"For mentorship, hire a Second Rank Prime Warrior to provide guidance on spear technique and movement technique once a month, each session costing 100,000 Cultivation Points/points/Blue Star Coins..."
