Chapter 129: Chapter 128: If Not Now, When? (Four updates today!)

Time is limited.

The written test is next.

The two of them didn’t chat much.

Gu Xi simply expressed her intentions and said that once you’re at the academy, you can consider this matter seriously; for now, just remember my request.

When the time comes, given the same conditions, prioritize me.

She unceremoniously pointed out that you kicked me, so naturally, if you’re my own student, it’s no big deal. But if not, then the grudge for this harassment must be avenged, right?

She spoke frankly.

But her expression clearly showed that if you dare not choose me, once we’re at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, I’ll dare to kill you.

However, Xu Lingjun, through her words, vaguely understood some aspects of the model at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

A sect involves master-apprentice teachings, passing on skills and knowledge.

While in the Martial Mansion, it’s probably this kind of learning atmosphere where everyone progresses together… Everyone is both a mentor and a student, teaching others while being taught themselves.

Just thinking about it, it’s truly something to look forward to.

Although it’s unclear why Gu Xi didn’t take a liking to Li Jingjun, who is also female, maybe she really wants to end her own New Student Terminator fate?

Just before leaving.

She informed Xu Lingjun of a very important piece of news, causing Xu Lingjun to involuntarily feel a heaviness in his heart.

“Be careful, that Zhong Dawei had a personal grudge against you before, but he actually wanted to kill you. You should have seen that, right? But you also said your grudge wasn’t nearly at the point of risking lives… Behind him, there might be another mastermind wanting to kill you. Zhong Dawei is near death, but that mastermind is still alive; you’re not out of danger yet.”

After saying this, Gu Xi seriously seized Xu Lingjun’s phone, saved her number, and pinned it at the top.

She urged him, “The person who can manipulate the ‘Qiantian Gang Qi’ Martial Skill in others might be stronger than me. Remember to be extremely careful during this time, avoid secluded places, and if in danger, call me immediately, okay?”

Hearing this, Xu Lingjun’s heart inexplicably sank.

Indeed, Zhong Dawei’s appearance was abrupt.

To be honest, he simply wasn’t qualified to oppose my current self… Yet he not only appeared but also learned quite advanced martial skills.

From this perspective, he does seem quite like a tool.

So, is someone secretly watching me, wanting my life?

Why?

I’m so kind to others, feeding stray dogs, helping little sisters with lots of homework, and always assisting elderly ladies across the street…

I’m such a good person.

Who exactly wants to kill me?

Or in other words, whom did I offend?

Soon, Xu Lingjun thought of a possibility.

The Chi Yu mysterious clan.

That’s right, although the Chi Yu mysterious clan might not care about a small fry like me, I must say, their exposure was entirely because of me.

If I hadn’t caught Ming Step and exposed their existence, they wouldn’t have been cornered.

Although the Chi Yu mysterious clan has nearly been wiped out, there’s no guarantee that one or two might have escaped, now wanting to trace it back and cause trouble for me.

In an instant.

Even when seated in the exam hall.

Xu Lingjun’s face remained extremely grave, as a deep sense of crisis once again rose in his heart.

What should be done in this situation?

Call the police?

But all of this is just my imagination, and if I speak out, I’m afraid no one will believe me, right?

Even if someone believes, would anyone be willing to protect me day and night?

Now, if the enemy misses their shot and hides, what should I do?

No, after the exam, I still have to discuss this matter with Uncle Guo properly. He has connections with the City Lord of Qingzhou City; by then, we can have those male interrogators thoroughly interrogate Ming Step, maybe extracting some information from her.

For a moment, countless thoughts swirled in his mind.

Ultimately, they formed a resolute thought.

One must strengthen oneself.

No need to go to Feng Zhichen or Sect Leader Mingri…

As long as I have cultivation like Gu Xi’s, why would I fear the Chi Yu mysterious clan?

Also, the Assault Freedom Mecha is still in my capsule; if I can obtain energy, it can serve as a trump card for self-defense in the future.

Additionally, I must consider new origin weapons or martial arts techniques to enhance my own strength.

Xu Lingjun sat in the exam hall, his face stern as iron, silently contemplating how to increase his cultivation to the bare minimum.

The exam hall was in the North Campus.

The written test for martial artists is much simpler than for those on the Technology Side; a classroom and desk suffice.

When Xu Lingjun sat down, Li Jingjun sat beside him, obviously arranged to let the two future Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion students foster some feelings for each other.

Unfortunately, Xu Lingjun looked stiff, and Li Jingjun seemed to be as if going to the battlefield.

All day yesterday, didn’t show any noticeable change, but today there seemed to be a smoldering fire within.

The rules of the written test are much simpler than the martial test.

If it’s the technology side, all seven subjects are tested, with scores similar to the martial test.

But if it’s a subsidiary subject, like a martial artist taking a written test, only five subjects need to be tested, and a total score exceeding 370 points is considered passing.

“The rules are simple, we don’t understand those things about the written test anyway. Basically, it’s doing test papers and writing essays, very simple.”

Gu Xi casually said, casting a shadow over the auxiliary written test examiner’s face.

“So, within the 10 hours of exam time, all five subjects are tested, finish answering and hand in the paper, as for what score you’ll get, just leave it to fate.”

With that, stack after stack of test papers was distributed to the students’ desks by the assistant examiners.

The casualness of it…

Reminded Xu Lingjun of the end-of-term biology test during middle school.

Because biology was not one of the seven subjects of the middle school examination, there were basically no classes for it, and during the exam, it was a chaotic mess.

And the test paper in hand.

Xu Lingjun could only temporarily put his thoughts aside.

If what Gu Xi said was true, then Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion might instead be the safest place, and I must get into Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

Isn’t it just 370 points? I’ve got this.

He began to carefully review the questions.

The five subjects tested are Spiritual Energy Studies, Science and Technology, Cultural History, Interstellar Studies, and War Studies!

Among the five subjects, only Science and Technology has a perfect score of 100, while the other four subjects each have a hundred and fifty, obviously indicating that the knowledge of the other four subjects is extremely important.

Even as a martial artist, these things will be useful if going to the cosmic battlefield in the future.

After reviewing all the questions, he started seriously answering them.

First, he tackled Cultural History, it was simple, things that happened in history, biographies of certain great figures of Blue Star, the various crises encountered when Blue Star first entered the Extraordinary Cosmos, etc., all these rote memorization stuff, with Life No.1, I’m best at these.

A burst of gliding pen strokes.

He felt that looking at these questions no longer brought that kind of unfamiliar yet familiar, deja vu feeling.

Soon, a test paper was filled to the brim, supported by his strong physical strength, his handwriting was square and neat, making the test paper look sophisticated and tidy, comfortable enough to satisfy even a perfectionist.

Feeling confident that at least 100 points would be no problem.

For the other four subjects.

The questions were more divergent.

Aside from a few rote memorization questions, the large questions, taking up more than half of the score, require proposing the many elements necessary for a war victory.

Xu Lingjun seriously thought about it and wrote down, “Military affairs are the paramount of the state, a matter of life and death, a path of survival or extinction, must be thoroughly investigated.”

Although he had many theories he could write, none were as concise and profound as the wisdom summarized by predecessors.

Anyway, Blue Star is not Earth, if not to copy now, then when?

As for Spiritual Energy Studies, the basic questions posed no issue.

But the last one required discussing, from a martial artist’s perspective, the future progress paths after reaching the Creation Realm, how to blaze the trail?

Xu Lingjun didn’t hesitate and wrote decisively, “All things in the world, have prosperity and decline, life and death, there are great human principles, heavenly justice and ethical consistency, as well as cultivators going against heaven, can absorb the creation of heaven and earth, seize the essence of the sun and moon, live for a thousand years, immortal and indestructible, cultivators, absorb heaven and earth spiritual qi into the body, cultivate spiritual power, attain divine sense, cross the cosmos with physical body, single-handedly overthrow the heavens.”

This world clearly follows the path of martial artists.

But Martial Tao and the Immortal Tao known in his past life are, in some sense, very similar…

Xu Lingjun simply detailed the Immortal Tao from his previous life to deduce the path of Martial Tao… entering the Tao through martial arts is also a path, isn’t it?

In a past world that was completely mundane without Martial Tao, Immortal Tao could make people feel justified and logical, let alone in this world where Martial Tao and spiritual qi exist.

For Interstellar Studies, it was about describing the current position of Blue Star in the cosmos.

Xu Lingjun thought for a moment and wrote down the six big words of the Dark Jungle Law.

The cosmos is a dark forest, where every civilization is an armed hunter, ghostly wandering in the woods, even their breathing must be careful, because hidden hunters are everywhere, and if he discovers other life, there’s only one thing to do: eliminate by firing.

In this forest, others are hell, an eternal threat,

As for Science and Technology, some basic scientific knowledge questions directly judged as right or wrong.

But it required proposing a hypothetical weapon most suitable for martial artists from a martial artist’s perspective.

Xu Lingjun unhesitatingly proposed the Mecha theory.

Back then, when Wang Qingya was leaping around collecting basic data of the Assault Freedom Mecha, I, Xu Lingjun, was her stepping stone, a lot of fundamental data is now coming handy.

Coupled with all the Gundam model data in his mind.

He proposed various weapon hypotheses…

Not only just the Assault Freedom Mecha, but also the Infinite Justice, Destiny Gundam, the Four Archangel Gundams, Unicorn Gundam, all of its data were suggested, along with the weapon configurations.

In the past life, these were mere hypotheses, but if implemented now…

It would definitely provide a wealth of data for Sister Yaya’s theoretical examination.

To score high, Xu Lingjun went all out.
