High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 19 The First Martial Arts Master of Qiming
"After you get home, use your own blood to drip onto the central vortex rune on this pass."

His voice was a little hoarse as he pointed to the black metal card and explained to Qin Feng how to use it, "It will scan and verify your Imperial citizenship information. The whole process takes about ten seconds. Once the verification is successful, you can use this card to enter the subspace network."

He placed the heavy card into Qin Feng's hand.

"Once inside, don't rush to the arena. Go to the 'New Player Guide Area' first, where you'll find detailed explanations of all the functions of the warp network. Even virtual worlds have their own rules."

Qin Feng took the card; it was cool to the touch, its texture neither gold nor iron, and the runes engraved on its surface shimmered with a faint silver glow under the light.

He didn't say much, but carefully put the card away.

"Go."

Li Weiguo took a step back, looking at the mature young man in front of him who was far more composed than his peers. "Go back and discuss it with your family, and fill out your college application."

He is no longer the utilitarian homeroom teacher who only focuses on college entrance examination pass rates and bonuses, but more like a mentor who watches his students embark on a long journey.

"goodbye teacher."

Qin Feng bowed deeply to Li Weiguo once again.

"Go on." Li Weiguo waved his hand, turned and walked into the depths of the woods without looking back.

Qin Feng straightened up and watched Li Weiguo's somewhat desolate figure disappear at the end of the woods before turning around, taking steady steps, and leaving the campus that had held three years of his youth.

On the maglev bus home, the urban area outside the window was still bustling. On the huge holographic billboard, the Empire's latest "Thor's Hammer" series of power armor was being demonstrated in a breathtaking way.

Qin Feng didn't look out the window; his gaze was fixed on his palm.

The subspace network pass lay quietly in his pocket.

……

Evening, Hongye Community, Wang Ming's home.

The small living room was brightly lit, and the air still held the faint aroma of meat and alcohol from the celebration banquet.

Qin Feng, his father Qin Dahai, and his uncle Wang Ming sat around the dining table.

In the center of the table, Qin Feng's personal wrist terminal was projecting a light blue light screen, on which was the Qimingxing Education Bureau's official "Junior High School Entrance Examination Application System".

The interface is simple yet dignified, with the imperial double-headed eagle emblem at the top and rows of blank fields waiting to be filled in below.

[First Choice], [Second Choice], [Third Choice]...

Qin Dahai and Wang Ming had clearly done their homework beforehand.

In front of Wang Ming was a data board, densely covered with information and analysis they had gathered from various channels.

“Xiaofeng, your uncle and I had already discussed this before you came back.”

Qin Dahai spoke first, his voice as steady as ever, his one arm resting on the table, his fingers tapping the surface rhythmically.

“We asked you, Director Wu, your uncle also asked the senior workers in his factory, and several of my old comrades from the army. Everyone’s opinion points to the same choice.”

He stretched out his finger and tapped it heavily on the projected light screen.

On the light screen, a name was automatically associated with the system and appeared.

Qiming First Martial Arts High School

"that's it."

Wang Ming came over and pointed to the data on the data board, explaining to Qin Feng, "Xiao Feng, look, I've written it all down. This 'Qiming First Martial Arts High School' is the true elder brother among the seven top martial arts high schools in Qiming Star, without exception."

He cleared his throat, as if he were reading a battle report.

"First, it has the longest history. It has been established for over ten thousand years. Countless outstanding individuals have emerged from here. What is this? This is its profound heritage!"

"Secondly, the teaching staff is the strongest. I heard from our factory director that the permanent senior lecturers at 'Qiyi High School' are at least level 8 martial artists. There are even occasional planetary level experts. Other schools simply can't compare to this kind of teaching staff."

“Third, and most importantly!” Wang Ming emphasized, “This school is directly under the Imperial Ministry of Education. It’s not for profit; its sole purpose is to cultivate true pillars of the empire. I’ve inquired, and all admitted students receive free tuition and a substantial monthly resource subsidy! The most outstanding geniuses will even receive customized training plans and advanced spiritual energy potions free of charge!”

After he finished speaking, he took a big gulp of water, his face full of longing.

Qin Dahai added from the side, his words more concise yet hitting the nail on the head.

"Qiyi High School's motto is 'Unconventional and merit-based.' They value not only your current ability but also your potential. In their eyes, a genius who has been given resources to reach a GPA of 1.3 since childhood is more valuable than a rough gem who has worked hard for a month to improve from 0.4 to 1.2."

“Your resume is your greatest strength. This potential is enough to impress their admissions office.” Qin Dahai looked at his son, his gaze calm and firm.

"Of course, it's not like we didn't look at other schools."

Wang Ming scrolled through the data board again. "Look at this, 'Jinlong Wugao,' it's ranked quite high, and the teachers are good too. But, I asked around, and this school is too commercialized. Once you're in, everything costs money. The gravity chamber is charged by the hour, advanced coaching requires a separate fee, and even the nutritional meals are tiered. Although our family can afford it for you now, there's no need to waste that money. Their educational philosophy is to treat students as clients; it's a private high school."

"There's also this 'Star River Military Affiliated High School,' which is strict and rigorous, and provides ample resources. However, their training direction is too singular, with everything focused on serving the military, greatly limiting the freedom for personal development. If you go there, you might be directly categorized as a military talent in a certain direction, which greatly reduces your possibilities."

The father and son, one after the other, revealed their hard work and considerations of the past few days to Qin Feng without reservation.

They didn't force Qin Feng to make a choice; they simply analyzed all the pros and cons clearly and left the final decision to him.

Qin Feng listened quietly, his gaze shifting back and forth between the names of the top martial arts high schools on the light screen.

He saw the "Jinlong Martial Arts High School" that prioritized making money, and he also saw the other schools that, while also aiming to cultivate geniuses, were slightly inferior to "Qiyi High School" in overall strength.

Finally, his finger moved slowly across the light screen and stopped at the name that was shimmering with golden light.

Qiming First Martial Arts High School

He looked up at his father and uncle.

"Choose this one."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear and powerful, without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay!" Qin Dahai nodded emphatically.

"This is the one we should choose!" Wang Ming exclaimed excitedly, slapping his thigh.

Qin Feng extended his finger and officially confirmed the option "Qiming First Martial Arts High School" in the "First Choice" section of the college application system.

The light blue text was locked and turned into an unchangeable gold.

"What about your second choice?" Qin Dahai reminded him.

"Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy." Qin Feng chose another top-tier martial arts academy that offers a free training model and also emphasizes potential.

Although the seven martial arts academies of Qiming have their own characteristics and are divided into different levels, each one is a holy land that countless candidates dream of, and each is a top-level academy with extremely strong comprehensive strength.

Getting into any of these schools means a bright future.

Second choice: Xingchen Martial Arts High School

Third choice: ...

Qin Feng did not fill in a third choice.

His goal is only the top seven.

If you are not admitted to your first two choices, you will most likely not be admitted to your third choice either.

He checked all the information, and after confirming that everything was correct, he pressed the "Submit" button, which represented his future plans for the next three years.

A confirmation box popped up on the screen.

[Volunteer information has been submitted and is now in the review process.]

The final admission results will be announced in three days and will be sent to your personal device in the form of an official notification.

Wishing you a bright future.

The confirmation box disappeared, and the application form slowly closed.

A brief silence fell over the living room.

"Dad, Uncle, by the way."

Qin Feng took out the subspace network access card and said, "The school applied for this for me, saying it unlocks three permissions: Imperial Arena, Subspace Exchange, and Subspace Teleportation Network."

"Ok?"

Qin Dahai and Wang Ming were both stunned when they saw the card in Qin Feng's hand.
