We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 73 Signing a Priceless Rank A Training Contract
"To be honest, you have the talent to enter those martial halls, but have you thought about what it would be like inside?"

Duan Wuyai looked at the boy's shocked expression, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He knew that the matter was probably close to success; all that was needed was a final push to complete it. So he continued:
"Your talent ranks among the top three in the entire Bozhou City and among pure-blooded humans. However, in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, there are at least one or two hundred people with the same or even higher talent than you."

"What if we also include bloodline warriors?"

"And I can assure you that the conditions offered to you by our Tiangang Academy are in no way inferior to those offered by the Martial Hall. Moreover, the 40 million Great Xia coins a year is just the bare minimum. If you perform well, you will receive an even greater resource package as a reward."

Shen Bailian pondered.

As Duan Wuyai said, even if he could enter the Martial Hall, what would happen after he got inside?

His talent is improving, but looking at the entire Great Wall Watch Zone, including bloodline warriors, there are at least several hundred geniuses of the same age.

I would rather make a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Within the Tiangang Academy, Shen Bailian enjoys access to top-tier resources and priority in allocating precious resources.

"Moreover, our Tiangang Academy ranks among the top three even among the six major academies. Your City Lord Kong also graduated from our academy."

Duan Wuyai raised his head and said proudly, "Our school has consistently occupied 6 seats on the Earthly Fiends List and 3 seats on the Heavenly Dipper List."

"Thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends, totaling one hundred and eight seats. Only the top experts of the younger generation can make it onto the list. Even the last one on the Earthly Fiends list can break through to the Sea Opening Realm before the age of thirty."

Shen Bailian was taken aback and immediately turned to look at Kong Chaowu.

He is no longer a clueless martial arts apprentice; he has gained a certain understanding of the path of martial arts.

Once you reach the Opening-up Realm, if you make the necessary contributions, you can directly apply to become the lord of a city.

"Yes." Kong Chaowu nodded seriously. "What he said is indeed true. You have a senior who is currently on the Earthly Fiends list, ranked fifty-second, named Hai Dongqing."

Under these circumstances, Shen Bailian couldn't help but be moved.

The Heavenly Gang Academy may be considered weak, but it's only comparable to the Four Great Martial Halls. In the Northern Territory, the Heavenly Gang Academy is undoubtedly the number one.

Moreover, these rewards and resources were indeed very generous, far exceeding his self-assessment.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Duan Wuyai continued. "If you haven't provided an answer within two days, then we have no choice but to..."

"Teacher Duan."

Before Duan Wuyai could finish speaking, Shen Bailian's firm voice rang out: "It doesn't need to take that long. I can give you an answer now. I'm willing to sign, tonight."

"Okay, the training contract will be delivered soon. You can discuss it with your parents, and then we can sign it."

Duan Wuyai spoke expressionlessly.

In truth, he could hardly contain his joy; he had succeeded.

By signing a student qualified to obtain a Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed, the admissions officer can also gain abundant cultivation resources.

Once the cultivation resources are distributed, I will surely be able to make even greater progress beyond my current realm!
At Shen Bailian's home.

The signed Rank A training contract requires both parties to exchange blood as a catalyst to become effective. Furthermore, in addition to the paper version, there is also an electronic version of the agreement, each subject to three levels of review:
The local education bureau, the city lord within the jurisdiction, and the admissions office of the martial arts university will ultimately be checked and recorded by the Nuwa Intelligent Central Hub, and recorded in the Great Heaven Body Database.

Kong Chaowu and Duan Wuyai had already made arrangements for these matters.

So the review was approved in just a few minutes. "Great! Hahaha~"

Duan Wuyai put his own training contract into his storage ring and let out a hearty laugh: "Shen Bailian, welcome to the Tiangang Academy."

"Thank you, Teacher Duan; thank you, Lord Kong."

As the signing ceremony came to an end, Mr. and Mrs. Shen burst into tears of joy, overwhelmed with emotion and unable to know what to do but express their gratitude repeatedly.

The two of them felt as if they were in a dream these past few days, as everything that happened seemed so fantastical.

Shen Zhenxing's broken leg was successfully repaired.

Their son, having won four decisive victories, not only advanced to the quarterfinals but also became a well-known figure in Bozhou City. Now, the two of them are very proud when they go out.

Many of their former neighbors, who used to look down on them, now fawn over them with obsequious words.

Today, their son, Shen Bailian, actually signed a first-class training contract with the renowned Tiangang Academy while still in his second year of high school, for 40 million Daxia coins per year.

Let alone forty million, even the ten million signing fee would be more than the two of them could earn in a lifetime.

"This is an honor he deserves."

Duan Wuyai was in a very good mood. He looked at the boy beside him and said with a smile, "The start of the semester is usually at the end of August. The process after enrollment is no different from that of a regular university. You can find out about it online."

"Now, you still have two most important tasks."

"Your first task is to try your best to win first place in this martial arts competition. The reward for first place is extremely important to you, as it can give you an extra boost in your application for the Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed."

"The prize for first place?"

Shen Bailian was a little confused. Shouldn't the ranking be the most important thing for him now?

"This time, the reward for first place is a little special."

Kong Chaowu smiled mysteriously, a hint of something deeper flashing in his eyes:
"To some extent, it is because of the special nature of the first-place reward that this year's All-Star Martial Arts Tournament is so grand."

"Okay, I understand."

Shen Bailian nodded thoughtfully, already having some guesses in his mind.

"The second task is to raise your physical fitness to at least level 7.5 before the start of the semester, which is also the threshold for cultivating the Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed."

"Yes."

Shen Bailian nodded again. This wasn't too difficult. Leveling up the skills a few times, plus natural growth, would be enough.

"As long as you have confidence." Duan Wuyai smiled and patted the boy's shoulder, saying softly, "Let's join the Star Alliance. If you encounter any hurdles or difficulties in body tempering, or problems with martial arts skills, I see you also study swordsmanship, so you can ask me for advice."

"Thank you, Teacher Duan."

A warm feeling welled up in Shen Bailian's heart. He could enjoy such treatment even before entering the school. This contract was definitely the right one.

The two checked their smart bracelets and then exchanged contact information.

"Furthermore," Duan Wuyai glanced at his smart bracelet and said, "according to the contract, your ten million signing fee will arrive tomorrow."
