Good martial arts in the city, many children, many blessings

"This is Bai Jie, a second-star martial artist, and your future university tutor!"

"I've met you, Teacher Bai!" x5.

Liu Yanran sat in the main seat, Bai Jie to her left, responding with a smile, Li Xunhuan to her right, her face somber, and Chen Yiyi and the other four women sat around her in order.

With a soft "click," Sun Wu, who had been observing from afar, captured this picture of time and uploaded it to the terminal.

Looking at the Rose team she had built from scratch, Liu Yanran nodded with a sense of accomplishment as she explained her initial team plan.

"First of all, congratulations on completing the first step of your life's upward leap, being admitted to the Martial Arts University, and officially embarking on the path of martial arts pursuit."

The five women exchanged smiles, their faces beaming with excitement.

"Although it may be a downer, I still have to pour cold water on you."

"All the efforts you've made and the joy you're feeling now have only earned you a ticket to the path of a martial artist."

Perhaps thinking of herself, Liu Yanran's voice carried a hint of sadness.

"Martial Arts University is just the starting point of your life. Whether you can become a quasi-martial artist within a year and pass the wilderness trial of a formal martial artist will determine the height of your future achievements."

Perhaps wanting to make a good impression on the new teacher, Pang Yuanyuan boldly raised her hand.

"I believe that under the guidance of His Excellency the Bishop and Teacher Bai, we will definitely become quasi-martial artists, successfully pass the Wilderness Trials, advance to martial artists, and compete in the Federation Martial Arts Tournament!"

Qiao Yuerong retorted defiantly, "That's right, we definitely can!"

Tian Xi analyzed, "Within three months, our basic attributes have increased by no less than 120%. A year is enough time to become a quasi-martial artist."

Even Yu Meimei, who was usually quiet, was greatly encouraged. She clenched her little fists, waved them a couple of times, and her face turned red with excitement.

"Yes! My three older sisters are right!"

Liu Yanran shook her head speechlessly, then turned to look at Bai Jie, whose eyes were filled with a smile.

"There are some things I'm not suited to say, Da Bai. As their martial arts instructor for the next four years, why don't you give them some basic lessons?"

"Alright."

Bai Jie put on a pair of non-prescription glasses without anyone noticing, and said with a serious expression like a teacher.

"I've already taken the time to study your individual training plans, senior."

"In short, it can be described in one phrase—'forcing seedlings to grow faster'."

Seeing the four women's indignant expressions, Bai Jie's lips curled up and she said, "What, you don't believe me?"

"The Tiger Cannon Fist, the body-strengthening method of the White Tiger Roaring Moon Technique, has clear requirements on the first page: students with a physique below level seven are not allowed to practice it."

"Although the senior sister's method is unique, by consuming the spiritual energy of a martial artist to stimulate the external manifestation of inner vision, she temporarily enhances the strength of your internal organs."

"In addition, the nourishing diet for strengthening the foundation and replenishing the vital energy has prevented it from affecting your actions of overdrawing your future spiritual foundation, but this rigidity cannot be maintained for long."

Bai Jie looked at Chen Yiyi, who had been keeping her head down and remaining silent, and said, "Regarding this point, I think you, who are ahead of everyone else, have already noticed it, haven't you?"

Chen Yiyi remained silent for a while, and then slowly nodded under the skeptical gazes of the four women.

"As I get closer to breaking through to the Quasi-Martial Artist level, the growth of my internal power is slowing down."

The four women's expressions darkened, and Pang Yuanyuan said unwillingly, "Does this mean we should slow down our progress and consolidate our foundation for the next period of time?"

Having just experienced an extraordinary increase in power, how could you expect them to give up so easily?

However, given the constant reminders from their martial arts teachers, how could they not know the fatal flaws inherent in the importance of a solid foundation in martial arts?

If one's foundation becomes unstable, it's the least of one's worries that martial arts cultivation will make no progress; the worst-case scenario is...

Tian Xi looked at Liu Yanran, clearly wanting an explanation from her.

"Snapped!"

Bai Jie snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "So your bishop has come to me for help."

Qiao Yuerong asked anxiously, "Teacher Bai, is there a way to help us improve our martial arts foundation?"

Bai Jie shook her head and said, "Actually, there are many ways to improve your martial arts foundation, but none of them are suitable for you right now."

Seeing the pleading looks on the four women's faces, she couldn't resist offering a word of advice.

"If you come from a military or aristocratic family, then find an acupuncture master who is good at regulating the body's qi and blood."

Alternatively, soaking in a medicinal bath and receiving massage after each workout can reduce fatigue and replenish the minor wear and tear caused by rapid physical growth.

Without Bai Jie needing to say "but," the four women already understood that everything was a result of their humble origins.

Tian Xi looked at Liu Yanran, her gaze calm, and said, "Your Excellency, so what solution did you and Teacher Bai come up with?"

"The path of martial arts is one of continuous advancement, with no turning back!"

Liu Yanran said resolutely, "If you can't solve the problem at this stage, then you might as well wait until you become a martial artist to make up for it."

"During your time at Martial Arts University, Teacher Bai Jie will do her best to coordinate the use of the gravity chamber for you."

"Within the martial arts hall, I will also use all available resources to replenish your nutrition and provide for your needs."

"One of you will focus on healing, and the rest will depend on your cultivation speed."

Bai Jie glanced at Liu Yanran, whose tone was indifferent, and added.

"In principle, as long as you become quasi-martial artists within a year, I can protect you in the wilderness trials as a martial arts school instructor."

"At that time, once you become a martial artist, you will receive the martial artist's technique visualization manual, and once you have mastered the Qi cultivation method, with spiritual energy flowing into your body, any instability in your foundation will be futile."

"And then?"

Tian Xi stared at Liu Yanran, as if trying to fully understand her future plans.

Liu Yanran remained expressionless as she said, "Initially, I was weak and participated in martial arts leagues to earn money; in my prime, I became steady and formed a team to hunt wild star beasts."

"If fate smiles upon us and we do not perish along the way, we can establish a mercenary group to occupy a region, create a century-old martial family, and try our luck at becoming a martial saint."

Tian Xi nodded, as if in agreement, or as if there were no more questions.

The women fell silent for a long while.

Yu Meimei looked around several times before cautiously raising her arm.

"Um, Your Excellency, Teacher Bai, why does it have to be a one-year deadline? If I don't become a quasi-martial artist within a year, then...?"

"no!"

Liu Yanran's gaze lingered on Yu Meimei's timid face, and her expression softened involuntarily.

"If you don't become a quasi-martial artist within a year, you can slow down your training. I can guarantee that you will become a formal martial artist in four years."

"Then why...?"

"Because in that case, you will lose a tremendous opportunity."

Bai Jie recalled, "It was only when I reached the realm of martial artist that I learned that there are only two opportunities in a lifetime that the entire Federation, no, the entire planet Aquamarine, cannot miss."

Yu Meimei, like a model student, raised her hand and said, "I know, one is the middle school entrance exam, and the other is the college entrance exam!"

"No!" Bai Jie said with a wry smile, "One of them is the world's strongest high school individual competition, limited to aspiring martial artists under the age of 18!"

"One event is a global university team competition, limited to martial artists under the age of 22!"

Pang Yuanyuan and Tian Xi exchanged a glance, their faces full of confusion. "These two leagues..."

"You've never even heard of it, right?" Bai Jie sighed and said, "Back then, my senior knew nothing about it, while I was completely clueless."

"This is a regret we'll carry for the rest of our lives, but it might also be the original intention behind our senior's creation of the Rose Team."

"You are very lucky, really." Bai Jie looked around and said, "You have your senior paving the way for you and helping you avoid all the injustices in your growth."

"But you are also very unfortunate. Even if you knew all this, what could you do?"

"Your humble origins have already limited your potential."

"And the Global Martial Arts Team Tournament four years from now will be your last chance to defy fate!"

Seeing the four women's faces filled with excitement mixed with confusion, Bai Jie shook her head and said.

"Forget it, all of that is too far off. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

"Then let's talk about something simple."

"First, both leagues cater to martial arts practitioners worldwide;"

"Secondly, before the start of the second year, Suzhou Martial Arts University will provide all graduating martial arts students with a custom-made mech free of charge to prepare for the World's Strongest University Team Competition three years later!"
