16: Chapter Early Special Recruitment

“Chen Du’s Martial Skill has reached first-stage Perfection?”

“Just yesterday afternoon, wasn’t he still at first-stage high-level?”

Seeing Li Mu, who had always been calm, show surprise, Teacher Ling felt a secret joy in his heart:

“Yes, I didn’t expect it either. He was at first-stage high-level in the afternoon and had a Breakthrough by evening!”

Then, he recounted in detail how Chen Du had challenged and defeated Han Bobo for her seat number.

“Principal, this Chen Du is definitely a combat Genius!”

“This kind of combat instinct, born for victory, is incredibly rare and precious.”

Teacher Ling praised Chen Du without reservation.

He paused, then continued, “To be honest, in all my years of teaching, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a student.”

“He’s clearly only 17 years old, but for some reason, he gives me a sense of seasoned experience when he fights.”

“As if he has undergone countless life-and-death trials.”

Li Mu listened, nodded silently, and took a deep breath:

“A Genius! An absolute Martial Skill Genius! He must be given priority for cultivation!”

“For now, allocate his cultivation resources as if he were in seat number 1.”

“Regarding the early special recruitment, I will contact the representatives of those two schools here.”

“For the Hundred Cities Championship a month from now, Chen Du must strive to get into the top three.”

“With his first-stage Perfection strength, he still has a chance. As long as he can secure a spot in the top three, this early special recruitment contract will be a sure thing.”

As the Principal, Li Mu’s greatest concern was the number of students who got into the Eight Famous Schools each year.

Only students in the top ten seats of the Hongzhi Class had a chance to get in, and if there could be one more Chen Du, that would be even better.

Teacher Ling nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then ended the call... 18:00, Teacher Ling’s office.

“Early special recruitment?” Chen Du asked, looking at Teacher Ling sitting opposite him.

It was the first time he had heard this term.

Teacher Ling sensed the question in Chen Du’s gaze and knew it was due to the information gap caused by wealth disparity:

“For the normal Gaokao, to get into one of the Eight Famous Schools, your Life Strength must be at least level 6.5.”

Chen Du nodded. This was no secret; it was clearly stated in the admission brochures of any famous school.

“With your current Life Strength, wanting to meet this standard before the Gaokao...”

“Is extremely difficult!”

“However, if you take the special recruitment route, there is no such regulation.”

Chen Du’s eyes lit up immediately, and he became interested.

Teacher Ling smiled slightly at this and continued, “Special recruitment is divided into two types: normal special recruitment and early special recruitment.”

“Normal special recruitment requires the candidate’s Martial Skill level to reach first-stage limit one month before the Gaokao.”

“The requirements for early special recruitment are a bit lower; you only need your Martial Skill to reach first-stage Perfection one month before the Gaokao.”

After speaking, he smiled and looked at Chen Du: “You already meet this.”

“However, this is only one of the special recruitment conditions. At that time, teachers from Mount Everest Martial Arts University and Mount Tai Martial Arts University will specifically come to the school to assess you.”

“But it won’t be that fast; the time should be after the Hundred Cities Championship.”

“Teacher, will only these two schools offer me special recruitment?” Chen Du asked, puzzled.

“Logically, all Eight Famous Schools should be involved, right?”

“The number of special recruitment schools and students is not fixed; these are all calculated by Big Data based on talent demand.”

After listening to Teacher Ling’s explanation, Chen Du’s expression remained unchanged, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his heart.

Mount Everest Martial Arts University and Mount Tai Martial Arts University are not within the Seventh Ecological Circle. If possible...

He didn’t want to be too far from home.

Chen Du’s long-standing goal has always been Huangshan Martial Arts University, which is also one of the Eight Famous Schools within the Seventh Ecological Circle.

However, Teacher Ling was indeed right; his current Life Strength was only level 5.2.

He was still 1.3 levels away from the minimum standard of these famous schools.

With only 119 days left until the Gaokao, the difficulty was immense.

If he gave up special recruitment, on one hand, he would feel unwilling, as who wouldn’t want to go to a famous school after studying for so many years?

On the other hand, his parents would definitely not agree.

“Teacher.” Chen Du suddenly spoke.

“If I pass the early special recruitment for these two schools, can I still participate in the normal Gaokao to go to other Martial Arts Universities?”

Teacher Ling’s expression became puzzled for a moment, not expecting Chen Du to ask such a question, and he countered:

“Do you have a preferred Martial Arts University?”

Chen Du nodded: “If possible, I want to go to Huangshan Martial Arts University.”

“Why? The resources provided by the Eight Famous Schools are all quite similar.”

Facing Teacher Ling’s confusion, Chen Du stated his reason:

“Six years ago, Yunlei District, Lake West City, was attacked by the ‘Giant Civilization’ from Mars.”

“Although Lake West City’s City Defense Force and the City Defense Forces of surrounding cities provided timely support,”

“The limited number of personnel still resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.”

At this point, Chen Du looked at Teacher Ling with determined eyes:

“Teacher, I don’t have any grand dreams. I just hope my family can be safe and sound.”

“If Liang City unfortunately encounters some crisis one day, I hope I can rush back immediately to save my family!”

“Rescue teams won’t specifically look for my family first, but I will!”

“Perhaps I’m not strong enough, but it’s better than no one looking out for them.”

Teacher Ling fell silent after hearing Chen Du’s words.

A student who wasn’t even an adult yet had such thoughts?

Usually, people who have such thoughts only develop them after their families are broken and they experience intense regret.

This child’s family was all intact, so why would he have such thoughts?

However, these words made him think much more highly of Chen Du.

He had initially thought the other party was just a Genius from an ordinary family with high Martial Skill talent, but he hadn’t expected such an ideology.

Billions of small families combine to form the current High Martial Civilization.

If everyone were like Chen Du, how powerful would the entire civilization be!

“You mean to use these two schools as a backup, and if you can’t get into Huangshan Martial Arts University, then you’ll go to these two, is that right?”

Chen Du nodded, not denying it.

“Unfortunately, no!” After saying that, he explained:

“Once you pass the early special recruitment, they will have you sign a contract binding you to the school.”

“Once the contract is signed, your first choice after the Gaokao must be the binding school in the contract.”

“This is also to prevent you from going to other famous schools.”

“But this is not direct admission; you still have to take the Gaokao, it just allows you to remove some regulations.”

“For example, the minimum requirement for Life Strength, and they will admit you with a reduced score.”

“I calculated it for you before you came; early special recruitment can reduce your score by 100 points.”

“In the Hundred Cities Championship a month from now, with your current Martial Skill level, you will definitely be in the top ten, which can reduce your score by at least 10 points.”

“If you choose these two universities, your admission score line can be lowered by 110 points. With your grades, admission will not be a problem at all.”

He paused: “If you absolutely insist on going to Huangshan Martial Arts University, you can only refuse to sign the contract.”

“But the risk of doing so is too great.” Teacher Ling finished, looking at Chen Du with utmost seriousness:

“If you don’t take the early special recruitment route, you can at most reduce your score by 30 points, and your Life Strength still needs to be 6.5 levels!”

“Ultimately, you will most likely end up in an ordinary university!”

“As an experienced person, I advise you, don’t joke with your future!”

Chen Du was silent for a moment before nodding: “Thank you, Teacher. I will consider it carefully.”

Afterward, he told Chen Du some more specific details... After leaving school, Chen Du did not go home immediately but went to a pharmacy.

The early special recruitment will take place after the Hundred Cities Championship, which is in March, still more than a month away from now.

During this time, he wanted to try to accelerate the improvement of his Life Strength.
