Guantang and Zhongchengs video call.

  Li Yuan thought for a moment, fearing that he would disturb Uncle Li Changzhous rest, so he didnt make a video call directly, but left a message first.

  Roughly explained the situation.

  Only five minutes later.

  Drip... drip... Li Changzhou actively called back the video call, and Li Yuan immediately answered.

  "Uncle." Li Yuan looked at Li Changzhou in the video projection, dusty and seemingly just busy.

  "I roughly know." Li Changzhous face didnt have the joy that Li Yuan had expected, instead his eyebrows were furrowed: "If Starry Sky Martial Hall only gives a D-level contract in the end, then whether you sign it or not is another matter."

  "Huh?" Li Yuan felt slightly puzzled.

  Wudang Hall special recruitment has always been Li Yuans first goal, but there has been no news for half a month.

  Actually, at first, Li Yuan was not so eager to sign with Wu Dian in advance.

  But in recent days, Li Yuanzi searched for a lot of information online and found that the overall pre-signing of several major martial arts halls was good, except for being more restrictive, there were no pitfalls.

  The most important thing is that as long as you sign a contract in advance, regardless of the level, it can indeed greatly reduce the economic pressure on your family.

  Even get cash rewards, and support their families.

  Li Yuan felt indebted to his uncle and aunt in his heart.

  I think Uncles adventure to Hebei Province is because of me.

  "Ive basically figured it out through some connections." Li Changzhou explained patiently: "Over the years, the pre-signing contracts of the three major martial arts halls have been divided into five levels from low to high: D-level, C-level, B-level, A-level, and S-level."

  "The contracts of the same level in different martial arts halls are more or less the same."

  Li Yuan nodded slightly, so it seems that in the eyes of Xingkong Wudian, he belongs to the lowest rank?

  However, being able to sign in advance is already extremely excellent.

  "D-level contract, providing one million Blue Star Coins per year for six years." Li Changzhou said in a low voice: "Sounds good, but you should know..."

  "What you are cultivating now and what you will need to cultivate after entering university as a martial artist are two different concepts."

  "For example, basic Qi and blood medicine, one bottle only costs 2,000 blue star coins. Now you can spend 20,000 blue star coins a month."

  "After becoming a martial artist, even the lowest level of martial artists use at least one bottle of basic Qi and blood medicine per day, which costs 10,000 Blue Star Coins. In a month, its at least ten bottles, sometimes twenty or thirty." Li Changzhou said solemnly: "Just for this most basic item alone, in a year, it would cost at least over a hundred million Blue Star Coins."

  "Theres also the Assistive Spiritual Treasure, if someone in the future wants to break through to the Second Stage of Origin, this is indispensable. Spending hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins per year is just the bare minimum..."

  "There is also physiotherapy..."

  "Theres also the cost of buying arms and various auxiliary equipment. Warriors have to fight against Star Boundary creatures, so can their equipment be ordinary? Its expensive and easily broken." Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan: "One million, for you now, its a lot."

  "If you dont have a strong interest in martial arts, consider taking another major at university."

  "So, in the martial arts world, you dont have to spend too much money, and in university, you can slowly cultivate yourself, striving to become a 15th-level warrior in the future. This contract is even quite generous, and who knows, you might even be able to save up several million Blue Star Coins." Li Changzhou said: "After graduating from university, according to the contract, Xingkong Wudian will also give you a job."

  "When the time comes, youll be like Uncle Zhong, an ordinary member in the Wu Temple, with benefits and treatment no worse than those of a civil servant."

  "If the Starry Sky Martial Arts Hall initiates a contract termination and doesnt give you work, with several hundred million Blue Star Coins in hand, finding another job would still be a stable profit."

  "This is a bright and spacious road." Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan.

  Li Yuan was shocked.

  He didnt expect there was such a way of playing.

  "But Xiao Yuan, are you really willing to be an ordinary person? An ordinary martial artist?" Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan.

  Li Yuan fell silent.

  "Youre not resigned to it." Li Changzhou shook his head and sighed, "Ive watched you grow up, how could I not understand? Youre so crazily cultivating, apart from wanting to help your family, whats important is that you have a warriors heart."

  "From sophomore year to senior year, on weekends, summer vacation, winter vacation, have you ever had a rest day? Even during the Chinese New Year, you were still practicing."

  "Youre being cruel to yourself."

  "This ferocity, Ive never seen before. Im no match for you. Your dad couldnt keep up with you back then either." Li Changzhou said slowly.

  Li Yuans eyes moved slightly, in so many years, his uncle rarely said so much, and never mentioned the deceased father.

  "Your aunt has always wanted you to take the civil service exam and become a teacher in the future. Shes been blaming me, thinking I shouldnt be supporting you."

  "Why am I not opposed to you becoming a full-time martial artist?" Li Changzhous voice was filled with excitement: "I dont want you to end up like me, regretting it when youre forty."

  Li Yuans heart skipped a beat as he stared at his uncle in shock.

  "Full-time warrior, danger."

  Li Changzhou smiled calmly: "But since ancient times, which good man has no dream of galloping on the battlefield and pursuing the ultimate martial arts?"

  "As a human being, truly rivaling the gods! To explore the limits of life."

  "Ive given up on this life."

  "But you still have." Li Changzhou smiled at Li Yuan, whose helmet was covered with a lot of mud, looking somewhat disheveled.

  Li Yuan held his breath and listened.

  "If you want to walk the path of a full-time martial artist, this amount of money, the contracts money, is far from enough." Li Changzhou continued: "But your future will be trapped by this contract."

  Hesitating for a moment, Li Yuan couldnt help but say: "Uncle, according to the information Ive found, as long as you perform well enough, the Starry Sky Martial Hall will upgrade your contract."

  "But isnt Xingkong Wudian being upgraded?" Li Changzhou retorted, "Why should ones own destiny be handed over to others?"

  Li Yuan woke up.

  "Your uncle Zhong is a good person, but many things, hes just an ordinary member, its not up to him to decide." Li Changzhou said: "Besides, as far as I know, once you sign with the Wu Temple ahead of time, your future development at Wudao University will be limited."

  "Restricted?" Li Yuan was taken aback, this was something he didnt know about.

  "As one of the five major national universities, it is funded by the state." Li Changzhou said: "If you sign with Wudang ahead of time, you will definitely join Wudang after graduating from university... Do you think that some special resources have come to the school, and the school has to make a choice between you and another martial arts halls specially admitted student, who do you think the school will choose?"

  Li Yuans eyes flickered slightly.

  Signing with Wu Dian in advance is a kind of restraint in some sense.

  "This contract."

  "You go to Wudian on Sunday, first understand with your uncle Zhong, if you can improve to C-level standard, and have a passive upgrade clause, for example, before you reach a certain age, you will directly automatically upgrade to B-level or even A-level, signing is no problem." Li Changzhou said patiently.

  "If you want to be a full-time warrior, Wudian is indeed a better choice, but if the restrictions are too great, then theres no need to sign."

  "Li Yuan, I know what youre thinking, wanting to help the family." Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan: "But remember, your uncle is not dead yet."

  "Its not time for you to take on the entire burden of this family yet."

  "At least before you go to college, dont have any worries, what you need to do is to devote yourself wholeheartedly to your studies, understand?" Li Changzhou said solemnly.

  "Yes, uncle." Li Yuan nodded heavily.

  "I believe you, I wont misjudge." Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan.

  "Now Xinghuo Wudian and Xingkong Wudian didnt sign a contract with them, its because they lack vision."

  "When the college entrance examination results come out and you even enter university, you will naturally receive a better contract."

  "Renewal is not late."

  ……

  Uncle Li Changzhous words made Li Yuan completely calm down and think more calmly about this matter.

  "Uncle is right."

  "Whats the hurry? Turn around, its them who should be in a hurry." Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.

  Continue to practice.

  Before he knew it, two days had passed and it was Saturday. Li Yuans daily routine remained unchanged - school and back home.

  Saturday afternoon.

  All third-year students are having martial arts class in the martial arts classroom today.

  School gate.

  Several black cars arrived slowly, and six figures got out of them one after another.

  Five of them were wearing black suits, except for one middle-aged man who was wearing a black Chinese tunic, looking ordinary, yet giving off an inexplicable aura.

  "Master of Ten Thousand Halls."

  "Welcome to our school, President Wan." Principal Tan Zhenlong and several other vice principals walked up, smiling to greet him.

  "The Iron Tower." The middle-aged man looked directly at Xu Bo standing in the distance and smiled: "Its been a long time since we parted ways in Xingjie."

  "Lao Wan." Xu Bo finally walked forward, grinning: "I didnt expect that the new master of Xinghuo Wudians Guanshan branch would be you."

  "Welcome!"
