Xu Zhou arrived at the high-end residential area and realized that it wasn’t a neighborhood, but rather a tranquil and luxurious villa area.
Green grass flourished, and the flowers were in full bloom.
The clear artificial lake was like a giant mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. There were also a few graceful white swans leisurely gliding on the lake.
Xu Zhou was utterly surprised, "The school is this extravagant?"
Beside him, Li Tie said, "Only the top ten can live here; others have to pay to move in."
"I’ve heard living here for a year costs at least fifty contribution points..."
Xu Zhou exclaimed, "50 contribution points? That’s expensive!"
Even though it’s a villa, no one would be willing to pay such a hefty price just for staying here, right?
"Do you think it’s just the environment that’s good here?" Li Tie shook his head and said, "Those mentors, even some academicians, also reside in this area."
"If they’re free, you can consult with them at any time, and that’s what’s truly valuable."
Xu Zhou realized that, thinking about it, this villa area was indeed quite appealing.
Of course, Xu Zhou still felt that spending money was not worth it, but since they could live here for free, it wasn’t bad at all.
The two chatted as they walked into the villa district.
Just then, a chuckle came from behind, "Xu Zhou, is it?"
Xu Zhou’s steps halted, and he turned to look.
A tall young man stood with his arms crossed, looking at him with a mischievous expression.
Feeling the slight hostility, Xu Zhou quickly guessed that this must be someone from the Liu Family.
"It’s me, what’s up?" Xu Zhou said lightly. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The person chuckled, "Someone wants to have a match with you, are you brave enough to accept?"
"Among the freshmen, no one should be able to beat me, right?" Xu Zhou looked at him.
He was speaking the truth; among the freshmen, only a few could take a couple of his moves, and the rest were almost crushed by him.
"Ha ha, of course not a freshman," the man said. "It’s a sophomore who wants to challenge you."
"Seniors picking on juniors, have you asked the school about this?"
Xu Zhou looked at him coldly, "Or is it that your Liu Family has grown so arrogant that you can ignore the school’s rules?"
The young man laughed heartily, "It has nothing to do with the Liu Family. You’re this year’s rookie king, and according to tradition, seniors will challenge you."
"Moreover, since you’ve joined the True Martial Department, you’re inherently opponents with our Divine Martial Department."
"Of course, no one will truly bully you. No one above the Second Grade will challenge you."
He said subtly, "Not just you, Li Tie will also be challenged."
Beside him, Li Tie looked puzzled. What does this have to do with me?
Xu Zhou replied coldly, "If there’s a fight, just come at me, no need to involve others."
He wasn’t just saying this for Li Tie’s sake but was more concerned about someone targeting Li Ruoxi.
With these families’ abilities, it’s not hard to see his relationship with Li Ruoxi.
The young man laughed happily, "So, you’re agreeing?"
"If I don’t agree, will your Liu Family just leave me alone?" Xu Zhou looked at him coldly.
"I said it’s not related to the Liu Family."
The young man said with a casual smile, "Even though you killed people from the Liu Family and injured some of their direct line, the Liu Family won’t take action just for these matters; it would be undignified."
"Liu Yaodong and Liu He don’t have anything to do with us; the Liu Family is big, and the bonds between each direct lineage aren’t that deep."
"We’re targeting you because the Divine Martial Department will reward us."
He candidly told Xu Zhou that they were explicitly targeting him.
The young man continued, "We won’t bully you; we’ll give you a month’s time. After a month, a sophomore at the peak of First Grade will come looking for you."
Xu Zhou calmly asked, "Is it a public contest or a private duel?"
"Private," the young man smiled. "The contests at Martial Arts University are private; after all, it’s not good for average students to see some bloody scenes."
"Can it end in death?" Xu Zhou asked.
The young man paused slightly and gave him a meaningful look, "If you want a fight to the death, it’s not out of the question."
"But I don’t recommend doing so."
Xu Zhou was slightly surprised.
The young man laughed heartily, "If you die, we can only benefit once. If you keep surviving, then naturally, we can get more benefits from the Divine Martial Department."
He smiled and said, "Xu Zhou, we hope more than anyone that you live. This year, you’re the first rookie king to enter the True Martial Department, and the benefits the Divine Martial Department offers are not small..."
Villa number 53.
Xu Zhou entered the villa and found the place incredibly spacious, covering a thousand square meters.
It also included luxurious amenities such as a private pool and secret garden.
After taking a look around, Xu Zhou sat cross-legged in a room.
"This True Martial Department identity indeed brings some trouble," Xu Zhou sighed inwardly.
In reality, he had also guessed it.
If he had joined the Divine Martial Department, the Liu Family might not have been so blatant in causing trouble.
However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
At least, openly causing trouble is better than secretly stabbing you in the back.
Moreover, Xu Zhou already had conflicts with the Liu Family.
He still remembered the billion that Liu Tianmu owed him!
"Liu Tianmu should already be a third-grade," Xu Zhou murmured. "When can I reach third-grade?"
It felt distant but not too distant.
A few months ago, he was still a boy too weak to truss a chicken, and now, he was already a First Rank Martial Artist!
Given a bit more time, reaching third-grade may not be impossible.
"Liu Family, Divine Martial Department..." Xu Zhou murmured softly.
These two, especially the Divine Martial Department, would be his enemies!
Regarding the suppression from the Divine Martial Department, Xu Zhou didn’t take it too seriously when Li Tie mentioned it earlier.
Until the Liu Family approached him, Xu Zhou realized this matter wasn’t as simple.
However, being targeted by the Divine Martial Department as a freshman newly entering Guang Han Martial University indicated that the True Martial Department definitely had something remarkable.
The more fiercely your enemies target you, the more it shows they fear you!
If the True Martial Department hadn’t been strong enough back then, why would the Divine Martial Department be so scared, to the point of suppressing a newly enrolled student?
It all seemed unreasonable, but upon pondering, it became clear that there must be astonishing secrets within the True Martial Department.
"True Martial Department..." Xu Zhou murmured silently, increasingly looking forward to tomorrow’s report.
