As soon as Di Liu exited the principal's office, he pulled out his phone and immediately called Gu Yuan.
After a few rings, Gu Yuan answered.
Di Liu spoke at lightning speed, "Gu Yuan, stay at home for now. I'll be at your doorstep soon. Wait for me, that's all."
With that, he hung up and began to rush to Gu Yuan's location with all his might.
Gu Yuan stared at his phone, completely bewildered. He hadn't even had a chance to ask what his reward was when he heard the sound of wind rushing past and Di Liu's hurried words before the call ended.
"It seems like he's coming to pick me up. What the heck is going on?" Gu Yuan was truly confused. Since Di Liu was coming to get him, he could save on travel expenses, which made him quite happy.
Gu Yuan then closed his eyes to meditate, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and converting it into true qi, which he injected into his one hundred and eight meridians.
Three hours later, Gu Yuan looked at Di Liu, who was panting outside his door, and fell into deep thought. "How far is the First Martial Arts University from my place? It seems to be more than ten thousand kilometers, right? How did you get here in just three hours?"
On the living room sofa, Di Liu accepted a glass of water from Gu Yuan and drank it down in one gulp, letting out a long sigh. Then he asked, "Gu Yuan, tell me honestly, have you really opened one hundred and eight meridians?"
"Of course. Is there any reason for me to lie to you about this?" Gu Yuan said seriously.
"Phew, that's great! This year's championship is within reach! Hahahaha!" Di Liu sighed with relief, thinking about the championship of the national martial arts league this year, and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"..." Gu Yuan looked speechlessly at the teacher who was laughing so hard.
"Cough, cough, cough, losing my composure, losing my composure. Gu Yuan, our principal wants to take you to the First Martial Arts University now. What do you think?" Di Liu also realized his gaffe and began to ask Gu Yuan if he wanted to leave with him for the First Martial Arts University.
"I had already planned to do so. After all, my strength needs the academy's resources to continue improving. But before that, I want to move." Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said to Di Liu.
"Okay, move. Move what?" Di Liu asked curiously.
Afterward, he watched Gu Yuan busily packing and moving everything usable. Because these were items that had accompanied the original owner for several years, influenced by the original owner, Gu Yuan had also developed an emotional attachment to these objects.
Then, a bewildered Di Liu took Gu Yuan and boarded a special car heading to Zhongzhou City. Along the way, Gu Yuan closed his eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Due to his fate, he possessed the fate of spiritual energy affinity, and even though his body was in motion, absorbing spiritual energy was still easy.
Not only that, but Gu Yuan also utilized the power of lightning to continuously temper his physique. With the competition approaching, this was a national competition where geniuses from all over the country would compete together.
"There must be so many good fates," Gu Yuan thought secretly, planning to accumulate more qi essence points to exchange for better fates. He wondered when all his fates could turn golden.
Gu Yuan shook his head in his heart. This wish was too far away. He only had two fates so far, and both were obtained through connections with the great beings of the heavens.
Thinking of the great beings of the heavens, Gu Yuan couldn't help but ponder what the world outside of this one was like.
Di Liu, on the side, looked at Gu Yuan, who was diligently cultivating even in the car, and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Gu Yuan not only had great talent but was also very diligent in his cultivation. Good, very good.
Time ticked by, and Gu Yuan took Di Liu to the villa awarded to him in Zhongzhou City. He had to admit, the villa was truly beautiful, which made Di Liu quite depressed.
After toiling for half his life, if the school hadn't rewarded him with a place, he would have been homeless. After all, all the resources he had obtained had been converted into cultivation resources, all contributing to his current formidable sixth-tier strength.
Alas.
Di Liu sighed. Gu Yuan glanced at Di Liu curiously but didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't offer comfort and just pretended not to hear. 138 Reading Network
After tidying up the villa, Gu Yuan put away everything he had brought from Tianyuan City and then followed Di Liu to the First Martial Arts University, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Gu Yuan's location was in the center of Tianxia, Zhongzhou Prefecture, while the First Martial Arts University was located in the farthest west of Tianxia, Xiyu Prefecture.
The distance between them was over thirty thousand kilometers, spanning half of Tianxia. Gu Yuan was somewhat puzzled. "How did Di Liu arrive so quickly from such a distance?"
Later, Gu Yuan's confusion was resolved. It turned out that Di Liu had directly used a teleportation array. Gu Yuan, being too caught up in the moment, had forgotten about teleportation arrays. Ten thousand kilometers could be covered in an instant. Di Liu's three-hour delay was due to having to wait in line for some long-distance teleportation arrays.
Since they were in Zhongzhou City, it had teleportation arrays to various locations. The teleportation array Gu Yuan used was of the highest grade, costing one to two million per activation. However, considering the identities of Di Liu and Gu Yuan, it was understandable.
Gu Yuan stepped onto the teleportation array. Di Liu, standing beside him, said softly, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can grab my hand."
Gu Yuan quickly shook his head. "Don't joke, if you say that, I'll endure it even if I'm uncomfortable."
As pieces of spirit stones were inserted, the teleportation array beneath them began to glow continuously, eventually transforming into a suction force that pulled Gu Yuan and Di Liu in. Moments later, the teleportation array returned to its original state.
Gu Yuan's vision spun, and the space was filled with blue light. Finally, his vision suddenly brightened, and Gu Yuan slowly turned his head to look around. He was in a room made entirely of metal.
Di Liu, who had disembarked from the teleportation array, stood beside him. At this moment, on the wall opposite Gu Yuan, a mini-projection appeared, showing a virtual character.
"Please verify your identity!" the virtual figure said.
Di Liu, from who knows when, produced a token and placed it on a miniature platform that appeared on the wall.
"Verifying, please wait."
"Verification successful. Welcome back, Elder Six." The virtual figure's voice rang out, and then it returned the token to Di Liu.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Gu Yuan suddenly felt a hint of respect in the virtual figure's words.
Di Liu retrieved the token, turned to Gu Yuan, and said, "Gu Yuan, come here too and verify. I've already entered your information a while ago."
Gu Yuan nodded and stood in the designated spot as Di Liu had instructed. A blue light shot out from the eyes of the virtual figure in front of him, scanning Gu Yuan's entire body.
"Welcome, new student Gu Yuan! May your martial path be prosperous!"
As the verification ended, the metal wall in front of Gu Yuan abruptly transformed into a large metal door, slowly opening outward. Seeing this, Di Liu left, and Gu Yuan quickly followed.
After walking down a long metal corridor, they encountered another metal door. Di Liu took out the token from before and placed it against the door. The door began to open automatically.
Stepping out of the door, a magnificent scene unfolded before Gu Yuan's eyes.
"Wow! What is this!" Gu Yuan's mouth hung open as he gazed at the breathtaking sight before him.
Di Liu, standing beside him, smiled and said, "Welcome to the First Martial Arts University!!"
