The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

The afternoon sun filtered through the leaves of the plane trees lining the street, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Wu You had put his sunglasses and hat back on and was walking back to the Investigation Bureau with Hua Linlin.

His pace was much slower than when he arrived, not because he was daydreaming, but because he was thinking.

Hua Linlin walked beside him, her black trench coat collar turned up, her short hair fluttering gently in the breeze. Neither of them spoke.

Previously, he had made the three defensive talisman swords, which were formed from the Tianji Hengshi Sword and had some minor design additions, into keychains and then gave them to Hua Linlin.

Wu You knew his parents' temperament; if he told them it was something very important, they definitely wouldn't accept it.

Only when it's made into a small gadget like a keychain will they feel comfortable accepting it, and it will also be convenient for them to carry it with them.

Just now at the dinner table, Hua Linlin had already given one of the three keychains to each of Wu's father, mother, and Jing, and had enthusiastically helped them put them on.

The talisman swords are a complete set, so they can be considered a family set.

As for the mild medicinal herbs, Wu You had already asked Ye Yi to deliver them to them through the company where Wu's parents worked and Lanhe No. 1 Middle School.

However, Wu You also left a small copy for Wu Jing, placing it in the wooden box on her desk, along with the book "Basic Martial Arts Swordplay (Part 1)".

Tomorrow is the martial arts college entrance examination. If Wu Jing is willing, she only needs to bring some of each of those medicinal herbs tonight and practice the basic sword techniques he created a few times. Then she will most likely pass the martial arts college entrance examination tomorrow.

After all, those were not ordinary "great medicines," but "exotic plants" from the deep dark realm.

The difference in effectiveness between the two is significant.

If Wu Jing were to consume a little of everything, and combine it with "Basic Martial Arts Sword Techniques (Part 1)" to absorb the medicinal effects of those exotic plants, her body might spontaneously generate qi and blood within a few days and automatically advance to the next level, thus becoming a Ming Jin martial artist!

If he relied solely on his own practice, even with the basic sword techniques created by Wu You, it would take at least several months to advance to the next level.

Those exotic plants directly compress several months into just a few days!

You can imagine the effects of these exotic plants!

Most importantly, the medicinal properties of these exotic plants are relatively mild, and ordinary people can use them. As long as they are taken according to the instructions, there will be no problems.

When Wu You selected these medicinal herbs, his first criterion was safety, and the second was effectiveness.

Of course, these exotic plants also have a drawback: they are expensive.

This small box cost Wu You nearly 100,000 contribution points.

Converted to jade coins, that's tens of millions! How could the effect be bad?

But considering that Wu Jing didn't even want to give her name, Wu You felt that simply keeping the medicinal herbs in her room wasn't enough to be safe.

What if she really didn't register? Then wouldn't she have to wait until next year?

Next year sounds like just one year away, but the situation is changing so fast that even Wu You can't be sure what it will be like a year from now.

Therefore, it would be better to let Wu Jing learn martial arts as soon as possible. After all, unlike her parents, she is now at the best age to learn martial arts.

Starting to learn martial arts at this age results in the fastest progress; if you start practicing after this age, the results will be much less effective.

The best place to learn martial arts is still the Martial Arts University, without exception.

It could be said that the teaching there was even more systematic and professional than that in the Bureau of Investigation.

After all, for the Bureau of Investigation, those with superpowers are the main members, and martial artists are just stepping stones on the road to becoming a superpowered individual.

The Bureau of Investigation's research on martial artists is simply aimed at increasing the number of people with special abilities.

In addition, the Bureau of Investigation does not have a dedicated martial arts teaching department. At most, there is a fighting room for torchbearers to train in the combination of their own abilities and martial arts skills.

However, this fighting room is mainly for better utilizing the abilities of the torchbearers; in essence, it serves the abilities of those with special abilities.

Martial Arts Universities are different. Their goal is to cultivate martial artists, and all resources are allocated around this goal.

Meanwhile, Wu You saw from the investigation platform that the Torchbearers in the Investigation Bureau who had a deep understanding of martial arts would also become teachers at the Martial Arts University, responsible for related teaching work.

Therefore, from all aspects, martial arts universities are the best place to learn martial arts. Not only is the safety factor high and there are various benefits, but the martial arts teaching is also comprehensive and the most systematic.

Thinking of this, Wu You paused in his steps.

He stood in the dappled sunlight under the sycamore tree, his silver eyes behind his sunglasses narrowing slightly.

He took his phone out of his trench coat pocket, found Ye Yi's number, and dialed it.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yi's voice quickly came through the receiver.

"Director Ye, does the Martial Arts University have any places for students admitted without taking the entrance exam, such as those recommended for admission?" Wu You didn't mince words and asked directly.

Ye Yi paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then immediately understood: "Your sister?"

Wu You hummed in agreement.

Then, Ye Yi pondered for a moment: "In principle, there shouldn't be such a quota."

Upon hearing this, Wu You knew that things were looking promising.

If it's allowed in principle, then it's not allowed; if it's not allowed in principle, then it's allowed!

Wu You remained silent, waiting quietly for Ye Yi to continue.

As Wu You had predicted.

"No one else would do," Ye Yi's voice came through the receiver.

"But, given your achievements..."

Wu You immediately said, "Director Ye, please explain in detail."

Ye Yi coughed before continuing, "If you could agree to become the honorary principal of a martial arts university..."

"I can arrange for your sister to get into that martial arts university as the principal's family member."

"After all, our bureau also has its own retirement company that specifically accommodates the families of torchbearers."

"Even though Martial Arts University and we are not in the same system, arranging for a family member of the principal is naturally not a problem."

"Those above will turn a blind eye."

Wu You was taken aback: "Honorary Principal?"

Ye Yi continued to explain, "Yes."

"An honorary principal is really just a matter of holding a title."

"At most, when you have time, you can come over and give a lecture or share some experience."

"There aren't many other duties."

"Other matters are still the responsibility of the actual principal."

At this point, Ye Yi paused, then added:

"However, there is one more thing to note."

"That means even if you go through the family's connections, it's still possible."

"Your sister also needs to meet the admission standards for this year's martial arts program before the first semester."

Hearing the last request, Wu You didn't find anything strange about it.

Even though he is Wuchang of Jiuli and a ninth-rank torchbearer, the Investigation Bureau has always been very strict when it comes to matters concerning the internal atmosphere of the Bureau.

Just like before, Hu Cheng, as the biological son of Hu Lie, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xilin Province and an eighth-level powerhouse, could only start as a candidate for torchbearer in Lanhe City.

However, he was not worried. With those medicinal herbs available, it would only take Wu Jing a few days to meet the requirements for martial arts.

But is it necessary to become an honorary principal?

Wu You pondered for a moment: "Hesitation."

Upon hearing Wu You's agreement, Ye Yi on the other end of the phone clearly smiled and said, "That would be great."

"There are thirteen martial arts universities in Xilin Province. I'll send you the information later, and you can choose one yourself."

OK.

After hanging up the phone, Wu You stuffed it back into his trench coat pocket.

Hua Linlin, standing to the side, looked at Wu You with a smile: "I'm actually a little envious of Xiao Jing."

"Now I can go straight to martial arts university without taking the exam."

"What's this called?"

"My brother is the school principal?!"

Hearing Hua Linlin's teasing, Wu You's face showed a slight smile.

He pointed to the small bronze torch badge on Hua Linlin's chest, which gleamed slightly in the afternoon sunlight: "What do you need to envy?"

"You're not simple either."

Keep in mind that Hua Linlin has only been a power user for less than two months!

In less than two months, she went from a newly awakened Tier 1 ability user to Tier 3!

It goes without saying that her talent is extremely high.

Upon hearing this, Hua Linlin simply waved her hand: "How can I compare to you?"

She had seen Wu You's resume before going to Jiuli on the Lanhe Investigation Bureau's official website!

He went from a third-level torchbearer to a fifth-level deputy minister of the executive department in just a week or two!

And now, how long has it been?

He even wore a gold badge!

What does the gold emblem represent?

Those are torchbearers of the seventh rank or higher! There's basically only one in each city!

Hearing Hua Linlin's complaints, Wu You followed suit and waved his hand as well.

That gesture was exactly the same as Hua Linlin's, even the amplitude of the hand gesture was almost the same.

His silver eyes behind his sunglasses blinked: "There's nothing we can do, that's just how geniuses are."
