High School Student with Immortal Race System

As Yanhua’s most prestigious institution, Jiangti covered a full 5,000 acres—and that was just the main campus.

It was like a small, self-contained town.

Since the semester hadn’t started yet, the historic, renowned campus was quieter than usual, but there were still plenty of students around.

A dozen or so figures moved forward at extreme speed. Jiangti’s roads had dedicated "Martial Artist Running Lanes," marked by conspicuous yellow paint.

Although the campus speed limit was 60 kilometers per hour, that was a speed the average Martial Artist couldn’t hope to achieve.

That translated to nearly 16.7 meters per second, a pace that would clear 100 meters in just 5.9 seconds—close to a perfect score on the college entrance exams. And long-distance running was a completely different concept from a short sprint.

The Champion Scholars were mostly at the Late-stage Marrow Refining, and for various reasons, a gap gradually began to form between them.

It wasn’t large, but it was there.

The admissions teacher, Wu Yi, naturally led the way at the front, while also subtly observing the dozen-plus Champion Scholars behind him.

The Champion Scholars from remote areas were generally in the trailing group. This was a stark reflection of the disparity in Martial Arts Education resources, and an even starker one of the gap in wealth.

They would still be considered outstanding in a place like Jianghuai, but they wouldn’t have been able to secure the title of Champion Scholar.

The first-tier group, however, consisted of only two people: Yang Shen and Jiang Xin.

Yang Shen’s pace was steady. He wasn’t using any cheats, let alone an Escape Technique. Or rather, he was familiarizing himself with the Power of the Innate Realm.

Jiang Xin was even more peculiar. He was wearing leather shoes, yet his speed wasn’t the slightest bit slower. His steps were light and nimble, a clear sign he had practiced a corresponding Martial Arts Technique.

His BD would only be more expensive and top-tier than Xu Bamboo’s.

And he undoubtedly possessed many Family Secret Techniques.

Jiang Xin said to Yang Shen casually, "So you’ve broken through to the Innate Realm too, just as I thought."

His tone even held a hint of excitement.

"If I’m not mistaken, you also applied to the Qiangwu Academy, right? Looks like we’ll be rivals in the same academy from now on."

Yang Shen felt that Jiang Xin had a strange desire to befriend him, but he wasn’t interested.

He just silently checked his Life Chart.

"Jiang Xin: Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation."

"Life Chart: Golden House Arrogance"

"Golden House Arrogance: Of extraordinary birth and flamboyant character. Upper limit unknown, lower limit extremely high."

’What a bizarre Life Chart...’

For a pure Martial Arts Side practitioner, someone just entering the Innate Realm should be around the third level of Qi Refining, according to the system. The fourth level indicated that his foundation was solid and that he hadn’t been idle during the summer break.

Of course, it couldn’t compare to Yang Shen’s fourth level of Qi Refining; he was on a dual track, an Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation practitioner.

After sprinting for about three kilometers, Wu Yi came to an abrupt halt in front of a building. The Champion Scholars arrived one by one; some were slightly out of breath, while others remained expressionless.

Wu Yi scanned everyone’s reactions, then began his enthusiastic introduction:

"This is the main dining hall of the main campus. Jiangti has nine dining halls in total, spread across different areas, but the main one is the most special."

"We’ve designed multiple dining plans for students of different levels. The first floor here is the regular cafeteria, which is subsidized by the state and is very affordable. The second floor is a special cafeteria that serves high-quality meals based on ’High Source Foods.’ Of course, the prices are a bit steeper."

A Champion Scholar from a remote region raised his hand and asked, "How steep is ’steeper’?"

"That depends on your own choices. But the monthly stipend for Martial Arts University students—twenty thousand per person, per month—is not enough to cover three meals a day on the second floor."

The Champion Scholar who asked the question froze...

’That’s fucking expensive!’

’I still have loans to pay off!’

Another person asked, "What about the third floor?"

Wu Yi replied, "The third floor has even more expensive private kitchens. The variety of dishes offered each day is limited, but they’re all excellent things that are highly beneficial for Martial Arts Cultivation. The chefs’ skills are also the best. Using the twenty-thousand-yuan Martial Arts Student stipend as a unit of measure, you could eat your fill for about two and a half meals."

The Champion Scholars looked at each other in dismay.

’Two and a half meals? What a strange unit of measurement.’

’Are we supposed to split meals or something?’

"What about the fourth floor?"

"The fourth floor is even more expensive. They have dedicated nutritionists creating personalized, one-on-one meal plans. If we use the Martial Arts Student stipend as an example again... well, it’s not even enough to meet the minimum order."

Yang Shen raised an eyebrow. ’I’m screwed!’

’My worst fear has come to pass! So Jiangti was into this weird stuff too!’

Wu Yi chuckled. "Don’t worry, everyone. Very few people can afford to eat on the third or fourth floors. I’ve hardly ever been myself. The Martial Arts Student stipend is still quite generous, more than what most ordinary people earn. It’s more than enough for a normal university life."

Then, his tone shifted. "However... our fees for retaking classes are very expensive~"

...

At a stadium somewhere on campus, Wu Yi pointed ahead and said:

"Jiangti has 24 full-sized stadiums in total—16 outdoor and 8 indoor. The number of smaller Cultivation venues is countless. Each stadium has a different focus."

The Champion Scholar on the Horizontal Training Route pointed to a spot in the stadium and asked curiously, "Teacher, I see a few beautiful women over there giving someone a massage. Is that also part of the school’s benefits?"

The dozen or so students followed his gaze and indeed saw a well-built man sprawled out on a chair, sipping a drink, while two stylish, long-legged young women massaged his shoulders and legs.

Wu Yi glanced over and shook his head. "No, the university doesn’t provide that kind of service. Those are our students as well."

"Huh? Students do that?"

Wu Yi smiled meaningfully. "Those are some of our more... ambitious students."

The Horizontal Training Champion Scholar: ...

...

"This is one of the dormitory areas. We have six of them. The university doesn’t require students to live on campus; you can also buy or rent your own place off-campus."

"Also, for a Martial Artist, jumping across this distance to the female dorms is a simple matter. We can’t very well point surveillance cameras at the dorm balconies, but before you do anything impulsive, think carefully about whether you can handle being hunted down by several hundred Martial Artists of the same realm..."

A female student raised her hand. "What if a female student breaks into the male dorms?"

Wu Yi said calmly, "It’s the same for both men and women. The objective of the hunt is just different."

...

Elsewhere, Wu Yi pointed to a blue circle on a wall:

"You’ll occasionally see buildings with blue markings. This means it’s a semi-restricted area that only those with approved applications can enter. If the marking is red, it’s completely forbidden to regular students."

"For example, this is the Sixth Bio-Medical Research Institute. Much of the research inside is state-level and doesn’t belong entirely to the university."

Yang Shen looked at the sign, lost in thought...

Because Xu Bamboo’s Uncle, Professor Xu Mo, was from the Sixth Bio-Medical Research Institute.

...

The day’s tour concluded smoothly, and it was a real eye-opener for Yang Shen.

Jiangti truly lived up to its name as a top global institution; it was filled with so many novelties and secrets.

Besides carrying on the Martial Arts Education system’s traditions of intense competition, the stench of money, and a streak of pure weirdness, it also genuinely had many good things to offer.

For example, the expensive Martial Arts training equipment, the cutting-edge biomedical technology, and a faculty packed with powerhouses.

He saw people dueling in the stadium at speeds he couldn’t even follow, their Powerful Qi affecting trees a hundred meters away, every punch booming like thunder and drums.

He also saw a school doctor at the Jade Viscera Realm who, with a light sweep of his palm over a student, could tell the student had been... overindulging.

He saw figures floating cross-legged atop a teaching building in Cultivation, their True Gang clearly having been mastered to an extremely high level.

He even saw an international student with eyes like a goat’s, which was exceptionally bizarre.

Everything he saw and heard was shaping his perception of Jiangti, and even rebuilding his understanding of the Cyan Blue Planet.

It wasn’t that the world had changed, but that Jiangti, as a world-class university, was simply on a completely different level from Jinshui District, or even the ordinary urban areas of Jianghuai City.

In terms of talented individuals, cutting-edge technology, and Martial Arts resources... this was one of the most incredible places on the planet.

Only now did he fully understand Director Liu’s previous advice.

This wasn’t just a school. Power, wealth, resources... all of it could be obtained here.

Finally, Wu Yi led them to the last stop of the day, "Qiangwu Tower."

This was the teaching and administration building for the "Qiangwu Academy," though it wasn’t very large.

The Qiangwu Academy accounted for nearly half of Jiangti’s student population, but they didn’t need to sit in classrooms all the time. Most Qiangwu Academy students only had one or two classes in a classroom per week.

In an empty classroom, the dozen-plus Champion Scholars sat below while Wu Yi walked up to the podium.

"Everyone, there’s only one last item on the agenda for today. I’m going to introduce you to the university’s method of study."

Everyone pricked up their ears. Although much of this information could be found online, it couldn’t compare to having a Jiangti instructor explain it in person.

Wu Yi beckoned with his hand, and a piece of chalk flew out of the chalk box. He spoke as he wrote on the blackboard.

"Jiangti’s admission threshold is ’Mid-stage Marrow Refining.’ If you’re below this realm, we generally won’t admit you, even if your scores are high enough. And the graduation requirement here is the ’Innate’ Realm."

"In other words, you must reach the Innate Realm by your senior year to receive a degree. Otherwise, you’ll only get a certificate of attendance. Of course, that’s just the minimum requirement. Before graduating, the Qiangwu Academy requires participation in one practical training in an Exotic Realm, and other academies have their own graduation projects."

"Therefore, the main task for most students on campus is to break through to the Innate Realm. But you are all Champion Scholars from your respective provinces and cities, so I believe it won’t be difficult for you. Today, I’ll only talk about what comes after the Innate Realm."

Wu Yi wrote the word "Innate" on the board with forceful strokes, then turned around and subconsciously glanced at Yang Shen and Jiang Xin.

The former was listening intently, while the latter was far more casual.

Wu Yi continued:

"Just like the three initial realms, the Qi and Blood Value is the primary benchmark in the Innate Realm. This is also the final Martial Arts Realm you can get through smoothly just by relying on Source Supplement and increasing your Qi and Blood Value."

"But the gap between the 1,000 points at the start of the Innate Realm and the 3,000 points at the Great Perfection of the Late-stage Innate Realm is twice the gap between an ordinary person and an Early Innate Stage Martial Artist. This also means the pressure to perform Source Supplement is immense."

The faces of a few Champion Scholars who were burdened with loans turned grim...
