Chapter 061 Your Cultivation Technique is Too Outdated
On the morning of the second day after settling into the hotel, Bai Zhenfeng enthusiastically suggested that they try a traditional breakfast that originated from the ancient planet Terra and has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
It is said that this is the most authentic "Old Terra" flavor, and it is difficult to find such an authentic taste in other provinces and cities.
The group arrived at a century-old shop with a quaint decor. When they saw the price of "500 credits per serving" on the menu, Lin Qiye couldn't help but gasp.
Is this what consumption is like in the planet's capital?
Compared to the grain-producing areas, it was a world of difference.
However, its unique flavor caused everyone to frown and only take a small bite.
Right after finishing breakfast, Bai Muxi suggested that they go to Galaxy Martial Arts University to register first.
She knew her husband couldn't say it, so it was perfect for her to say it.
The Bai family members immediately responded with great enthusiasm.
They were equally curious about this legendary holy land of martial arts.
It's important to understand that, unless you're a family member of an applicant, an ordinary person wouldn't even have the chance to step into the gates of Galaxy Martial Arts University.
"Let's scout out the location beforehand and familiarize ourselves with the environment!" Bai Zhenfeng said with a smile.
Lin Qiye readily agreed.
Galaxy Martial Arts University is not located in the most bustling central urban area of Terra City, but in a vast area in the northwest of the city known as the "Forest of Scholars".
The environment here is serene, with ancient trees reaching for the sky, forming a stark contrast to the steel jungle of the city center.
As the hovercar slowly entered the area of "Scholar's Forest," Lin Qiye sensed that the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was significantly higher than in the city.
The car finally stopped in front of a simple yet magnificent school gate.
The school gate was built from an unknown white boulder, without any ornate carvings. Only above the lintel were four powerful characters engraved: "Galaxy Martial Arts".
These four characters seem to possess a peculiar magic; just one glance is enough to stir the soul, as if one could see the boundless sea of stars and the pioneering figures of countless predecessors.
At this moment, a large number of people had gathered at the school gate, forming a long queue.
They were all freshmen and their families who, like Lin Qiye, had arrived early to register.
Lin Qiye stood in line, silently observing his surroundings.
He could clearly sense that the young woman in front of him, dressed in a light combat uniform, with a cold expression and a solid aura, was also a martial artist.
Standing beside her was a middle-aged man with a profound and unwavering aura, as steady as a mountain. His strength far surpassed hers, and he appeared to be the girl's father.
Behind his father were two elegant young women, lecturing four teenagers who looked like middle school students with equally indifferent expressions.
"Xiaoya, Xiaoxuan, I don't expect you to get into Galaxy Martial Arts University like your older sister, but at the very least, you need to get into a top-tier university! Understand?"
"Yes, I brought you here today so you could see what the Empire's top universities are like and get a feel for the atmosphere! To set a goal for you!"
The boys and girls simply nodded indifferently, replying indifferently, "Okay, okay."
Just then, another family lined up behind Lin Qiye.
They were a middle-aged couple whose auras were so restrained that Lin Qiye couldn't fathom their true strength. They were also accompanied by a young man with the strength of a martial artist and his two younger sisters.
Lin Qiye was secretly shocked. The two families just ahead and behind him had shown astonishing resources.
Is this the family background of students who can get into Galaxy Martial Arts University?
The couple seemed quite friendly and struck up a conversation.
Upon learning that Bai Muxi was Lin Qiye's wife, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "At first I thought they were siblings, but I didn't expect this to be your partner? Getting married at such a young age, truly a hero among the young."
His gaze swept casually over Bai Zhenfeng and Bai Zhenyun, a hint of barely perceptible doubt flashing in his eyes.
In his view, most of those who get married at the age of taking the college entrance exam are engaged in political marriages between families.
However, the two middle-aged men in front of them were of mediocre strength; they were not even martial artists, but merely quasi-martial artists.
He doesn't seem like a family leader capable of arranging marriage alliances at all.
He certainly couldn't have imagined that at the very bottom of the empire, there was a possibility of getting married early—for the sake of survival and for maternity allowances.
Bai Zhenfeng and Bai Zhenyun also behaved very humbly in the face of the couple's friendliness.
They knew exactly what was going on.
Families who can stand here in line with their martial arts prodigies without batting an eye, regardless of their background or strength, are far superior to middle-class families from fourth-tier cities like ours.
"You flatter me. Children are young and don't know any better. Letting them settle down early makes us elders feel more at ease," Bai Zhenfeng replied with a smile, adopting a very humble attitude.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, the two sides did not engage in any further conversation.
Soon, it was Lin Qiye's turn in the queue, where he was stopped by two guards in silver-gray uniforms, their demeanor as steady as a mountain.
The two gatekeepers simply stood there quietly, exuding an aura of profound stillness and imposing presence that silenced the surrounding noise.
Lin Qiye felt a chill run down his spine. He could sense that these two seemingly ordinary gatekeepers were far stronger than him!
He stepped forward and respectfully presented his electronic admission notice.
One of the security guards scanned the QR code with his terminal, and after confirming that it was correct, he smiled gently and nodded.
"Welcome, Lin Qiye." He stepped aside to make way, while reminding them, "The visit by students' families ends at 6 p.m., and the activity area is limited to the freshman plaza and living area. The teaching area and library and other core areas are not open to the public at this time."
"OK, thanks."
The moment I stepped into the school gate, a richer and purer spiritual energy rushed towards me.
It's like soaking in warm spring water, making every pore on your body open up.
Suddenly, everything became clear.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast square that stretches to the horizon.
The square is paved with a kind of jade that has a faint bluish glow, and mysterious and ancient star patterns are engraved on the ground, shimmering in the sunlight.
In the center of the square stands a colossal statue, hundreds of meters tall.
He was an unnamed hero clad in star-studded armor, wielding a giant sword, gazing at the starry sea.
His face was blurred, yet he possessed a magnificent and indomitable spirit that commanded respect.
"This is the 'Pioneer' statue..." Bai Zhenfeng murmured to himself, his eyes filled with shock and reverence. "It was personally supervised by our most supreme and greatest emperor to commemorate all the nameless heroes who sacrificed their lives in the pioneering era."
The square is surrounded by lush greenery and ancient trees.
In the distance, buildings of different styles, yet all exuding a sense of historical weight, are nestled in the forest, blending perfectly with the surrounding natural environment.
There's no oppressive feeling of a steel forest, no noisy neon lights.
Here, there is only tranquility and solemnity.
"It's...it's spectacular!" Bai Mujie's eyes widened, completely shocked by the scene before him, and he even stammered.
Even the usually composed Bai Zhenfeng was deeply moved and speechless for a long time.
This is Galaxy Martial Arts University!
The number one martial arts holy land in the galaxy!
Bai Muxi's gaze remained tenderly fixed on Lin Qiye.
Seeing him standing beneath the "Pioneer" statue, I felt an unprecedented sense of pride and satisfaction.
……
Soon, Lin Qiye and his group arrived at the new student registration area set up on one side of the square.
Behind rows of neat tables sat several teachers and senior students in charge of reception.
Lin Qiye walked to one of the windows and handed over his ID and admission notice.
The person in charge of receiving us was a young female teacher.
She wore a well-tailored black combat suit that accentuated her stunning figure, with short, neat hair and sharp eyes.
She took Lin Qiye's information, quickly manipulated the screen a few times, and brought up Lin Qiye's detailed file.
When she saw the contents of the file, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
She raised her head, her gaze sharp as she scrutinized Lin Qiye before her, her tone tinged with incomprehension and surprise: "Lin Qiye, ranked 288th in the provincial private school entrance exam, with a genetic potential of 10.3%, and proficient in the 128th set of broadcast gymnastics and the Eight Treasures Exercise?"
She paused, as if to confirm that she hadn't misread it, and then continued, "Based on your grades and the system's physical fitness assessment, your overall ranking at the start of the semester is 9988, and you've been assigned to Class 10 in Grade 1."
"Your genetic potential is decent, but your foundational skills are far too outdated." The female teacher's voice was devoid of emotion, simply stating a fact. "It's the lowest level of 'Radio Gymnastics' and 'Eight Treasures Exercise.' These levels of skills are too crude even to teach a three-year-old a basic skill."
"My personal suggestion is that you use this month before school starts to switch to a more advanced cultivation technique as soon as possible. With your demonstrated comprehension, if you can keep up with the technique, you might have a chance to advance from Class 10 to Class 9 within a year."
