After communicating with Teacher Xu and Instructor Xing,
Li Yuan understood that signing a contract in advance didn't mean he could forgo attending university.
An early contract was essentially an investment by the Martial Hall; they would provide Li Yuan with some guidance in his cultivation but wouldn't cover everything.
For him, the best path was still to take the college entrance exam and attend a Martial Arts University.
"According to Teacher Xu, the Martial Hall is a gathering place for martial artists and in the grand scheme of human civilization, its role is to be combat-ready, not necessarily to nurture talent,"
"What the Martial Hall needs more is immediate combat power," Li Yuan mused quietly, "The responsibility for nurturing lies with the Martial Arts University. That's where the most comprehensive training for martial artists is available."
"Be it the nation or the Seven Star Alliance, all sorts of precious resources are poured into Martial Arts Universities."
