West City!

Divine Land has a total of four independent municipalities, and West City is one of them. Economically, it's second only to Dongdu.

The train station is bustling with people.

Students from all over the country are enrolling around this time.

In West City, besides West Martial, there are three other A-list martial arts universities. Some students who scored over 19 cards in their Qi Blood value in the college entrance exams also opt for those top-ranked A-list martial arts universities.

After all, there's no absolute certainty in life.

Some martial arts universities promise tuition waivers and free resources.

Some people are willing to fight their way up in adverse situations.

Some hope to stand out as early achievers.

Those who qualify for the top four but choose A-list universities can join the student association upon enrollment, and may even hold office there.

At Wuda, the student association does more than just run errands for the mentors.

The Wuda Student Association holds some real authority.

Su Yue navigates through the station.

Actually, compared to students applying to martial arts universities, there are more liberal arts students coming here.

After all, students in potential classes are a minority; more college entrance exam takers choose liberal arts.

Liberal arts universities with campuses here are top-notch.

After exiting the station, Su Yue sees a young man holding up a sign.

The sign has Su Yue's name on it.

"Is this the guide my sister arranged?"

Su Yue walks toward the young man.

Xu Baiyan had called earlier, saying she'd found someone to show Su Yue around West Martial so he could become familiar with the campus beforehand.

"Hello, I'm Xu Baiyan's brother. My name is Su Yue!"

Su Yue approaches politely.

"Ah, you're Xu Baiyan's brother...

"Hello.

"I'm Bai Xiaolong. Friends in the martial world call me Jade-faced Little White Dragon."

Bai Xiaolong puts down the sign and introduces himself.

Huh?

Su Yue felt a bit awkward.

Jade-faced Little White Dragon?

You?

Is that really how you introduce yourself?

"Um, friends in the martial world also have a name for me, they call me Handsome..."

"Su Yue, you haven't stepped into the martial world yet, those names are fake and unimportant, let's go."

Bai Xiaolong roughly interrupts Su Yue, then tosses the sign into the trash and starts walking.

Su Yue catches up.

"In the martial world, I'm known as Handsome Young Master, you can call me that too."

Su Yue stubbornly explains.

I might lose in martial arts.

But when it comes to looks, I'm invincible.

"I said before, those titles are fake. Get in the car!"

At the parking lot, Bai Xiaolong surprisingly has a white two-door sports car.

Su Yue was envious.

The title Jade-faced Young Master, could it be referring to this car?

"Senior Brother Bai, are you close with my sister?"

Su Yue asks in the car.

If this guy anticipates Yang Lezhi to underestimate him, Yang Lezhi might lose miserably.

After all, he's skilled at driving sports cars with one hand.

"We did missions together in the humid zones, so we're as close as life-and-death brothers."

Bai Xiaolong grips the steering wheel with one hand, his sunglasses glinting.

"Brothers? My sister is a girl!"

Su Yue retorts.

"No.

"In our hearts, Xu Baiyan is a tough guy, as iron-blooded as Xu Tailong.

"The brave soul who dares to marry her might have to be from the stars or something like the descendants of the sun."

Bai Xiaolong's words strike a chord with Su Yue.

Remembering how Xu Baiyan greeted him with a punch, it's easy to see why she might not be popular with guys.

"Senior Brother Bai, what year are you in?"

Su Yue asks again.

"Same as Xu Baiyan, starting senior year."

Bai Xiaolong answers.

My older sister is already a senior.

Su Yue sighs.

When she came looking for me, she'd just finished sophomore year, and after a year in the potential class, she's a junior.

Now, with the start of the term, she's a senior.

By the end of senior year, theoretically, the students of the four big martial academies should return to the Military Department as officers, or they can take up positions at the Admiral's Mansion.

But generally, 90% of students from the four big martial academies go to the Military Department, where they can achieve great things.

Once you've been to the humid zones, you can truly understand the place.

Furthermore, the resources the Military Department provides can't be compared to those of the Admiral's Mansion.

"Senior Brother Bai, your sports car is really cool, how much did it cost?"

Su Yue asks.

"After registration, it was 22 million."

Bai Xiaolong reveals a mischievous smile.

Wow!

Su Yue is flabbergasted.

In the past, Wang Lu Feng loved researching cars; Su Yue even looked through some historical records with him.

Nowadays, buying a car is ten times more expensive than during the technology era.

Even during the technology era, a 2.2 million sports car was outfitted quite impressively.

"Senior Brother Bai, does your family own a mine?

If I were to buy a car, I'd go for something around 500,000, a decent vehicle that can shelter from wind and rain and get me places. Two million is too scary."

Su Yue exclaims.

Even though I can afford it now, martial artist's elixirs are even pricier, so I have to spend wisely.

However.

Su Yue's words only earn a disdainful look from Bai Xiaolong:

"My family doesn't own a mine; we're just average, able to neither support me nor hold me back.

As for buying a car, what's the point of getting a 500,000 junker?

Shelter from wind and rain? Do you find taxis inconvenient or buses too cheap?"

Bai Xiaolong counters.

"Ah, true.

So, from that point of view, buying a car seems pointless."

Su Yue nods in agreement.

"No, it does have a use."

Bai Xiaolong says in a low voice, his sunglasses growing deeper:

"The car's purpose is to show off!"

Show off?"

Su Yue frowns.

"Yes, if not for showing off, sports cars would be utterly meaningless.

Especially in this Martial Arts Era.
