Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 80: Is There a Contract... Without So Much Cultivation?


Back at the West Warehouse District, Ling Feng encountered Zhang Lei, who was preparing to lead a team to the Great Radiation Zone.

Previously, Zhang Lei would only deliver goods to the Great Radiation Zone once or twice a day. Taking a team there in the evening like today was almost unprecedented.

Moreover, there was a convoy picking him up at the entrance of the community.

And Zhang Lei was carrying a large number of bags, suggesting he might be staying in the Great Radiation Zone for a while.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

Ling Feng hurriedly called out to him.

"Oh, Xiao Feng, you're back! Come over here; look, these are your uncle's teammates. Come and greet your uncles."

Zhang Lei, seeing Ling Feng, looked delighted and quickly pulled Ling Feng over to his teammates.

"Hello, uncles."

Ling Feng greeted.

"This is my nephew, a senior Martial Dao student from Ninth Middle School named Zhang Lingfeng, an authentic Elemental Martial Artist. Divine Martial University has been calling me, wanting to sign a direct admission agreement with my nephew, but my nephew is ambitious; he wants to apply to Starry Sky University!"

Zhang Lei boasted proudly as he put his arm around Ling Feng's shoulder.

"Becoming an Elemental Martial Artist at such a young age means he must have worked very hard on his cultivation."

"Lei, you're in for good luck in the future."

"Only a few people from Outer Ring City get into Starry Sky University each year. Young man, you've got a bright future!"

Zhang Lei's teammates praised.

"Thank you, uncles, for the compliments."

Ling Feng smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, then went to a corner with Zhang Lei and asked, "Uncle, it's time for dinner; where are you going?"

"Work has come up in the Great Radiation Zone. I need to lead a team to work there for a few days. Many factories need relocation, and the pay is many times what it usually is."

Zhang Lei replied excitedly.

"Uncle, you can't go. Those factories are moving away from the Great Radiation Zone because there might be a Catfish Demon storm."

Ling Feng's expression changed and he hurriedly said.

While making a daily delivery trip was fine, Zhang Lei planned to stay for several days in the Great Radiation Zone. Even if there wasn't the threat of a Catfish Demon storm, Zhang Lei's physical fitness couldn't withstand the contamination there, even with protective clothing, and couldn't prevent all issues from arising.

"I know, Tiesheng already told me. But according to the latest data, the Catfish Demon storm is only likely to occur a month later, and I'll only be there for six days."

Zhang Lei said with a smile.

"No, what if it happens early?"

Ling Feng decisively shook his head.

"Hehe, your uncle has it in mind. I've already contacted Tiesheng. This time, I'm working for Xingyao Group."

Zhang Lei chuckled.

"Did cousin ask you to go?"

Ling Feng's expression froze.

"Yes, Xingyao Group urgently needs manpower and materials, and Tiesheng happens to be responsible for this task, so I have to help him. He still owes Xingyao Group many loans, and if the task is completed, Tiesheng will receive significant training from the Group."

Zhang Lei hesitated momentarily and nodded.

Ling Feng wanted to say more but stopped himself. Since his cousin requested Zhang Lei to lead the team and help, Zhang Lei couldn't refuse, and there was no way Ling Feng could stop him.

"Your uncle will come back safely. You focus on your cultivation and wait for me at home."

Zhang Lei patted Ling Feng's shoulder and then turned to walk toward the convoy.

"Uncle, there's one more thing I haven't told you; our whole family can move into Inner Ring City. My cultivation talent received recognition from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance yesterday, and they will arrange everything in seven days. By the time you return, we can move into Inner Ring City together, and never worry about living supplies anymore."

Ling Feng hurried to say.

Originally, he wanted to surprise Zhang Lei once everything was settled, but now seeing Zhang Lei insist on going to the Great Radiation Zone for work, he could only inform ahead, so in case something happens, Zhang Lei would have an additional hope in his heart.

"What… you're not lying?"

Zhang Lei said in disbelief.

"Yes, besides moving into Inner Ring City, I will also receive the Starry Sky University Double S-Class direct admission contract."

Ling Feng replied seriously.

"This is the best news your uncle has heard in years. Ling Feng, your uncle promises you will return safely with your cousin."

Zhang Lei, eyes brimming with tears, assured firmly.

"Yes, I'll be at home waiting for you and cousin to come back."

Ling Feng nodded emphatically.

"Thank you, Xiao Feng!"

Zhang Lei embraced Ling Feng. Moving into Inner Ring City was the family's long-standing goal. Initially, Zhang Lei pinned hopes on Zhang Tiesheng, which is why he took the risk to lead a team to support Zhang Tiesheng in the Great Radiation Zone. Unexpectedly, Ling Feng brought a big surprise, allowing their family to move into Inner Ring City ahead of time.

"Uncle, go and come back quickly."

Ling Feng waved goodbye until Zhang Lei's convoy disappeared from view.

Just as he was about to turn back into the community, he saw a familiar figure behind him.

"Principal!"

It was Wang Dashan, standing beside an elegant old man.

"Ling Feng, let me introduce you; this is Di Yang, the dean of Starry Sky University."

Wang Dashan smiled.

When the two arrived, they only saw Ling Feng and Zhang Lei embracing goodbye.

"Hello, dean."

Ling Feng was taken aback; the dean of Starry Sky University had personally come all the way from Inner Ring City.

Was this about finalizing the Double S-Class direct admission contract? Wang Dashan had mentioned it yesterday, and today at school, Ling Feng was waiting for someone from Starry Sky University to arrive. Unexpectedly, they showed up only after his cultivation ended, and even caught up to him at the community gate.

"You needn't be nervous. I came to ask if you're willing to join Starry Sky University and sign a direct admission contract."

Di Yang asked kindly.

"I am willing; I'm just wondering which type of contract it is?"

Ling Feng quickly nodded.

"I've prepared three types of contracts for you. The first is an S-Class contract, the second is a Double S-Class contract, and the third is a Triple S-Class contract. Which one would you prefer?"

Di Yang smiled.

Wang Dashan was surprised; Starry Sky University was willing to offer Ling Feng a Triple S-Class contract, bringing great honor to Ninth Middle School.

"I've always heard that the higher the contract level, the better, but I've never understood the differences between each contract."

Ling Feng asked.

"Let me explain them to you."

"An S-Class contract will provide all cultivation resources needed by an Elemental Martial Artist, as well as a monthly scholarship subsidy of 200,000, plus three teachers who will spend two hours each day guiding your cultivation."

"The Double S-Class contract builds on the S-Class and allows your family to live in Inner Ring City, increases the monthly scholarship by an additional 100,000, and provides four teachers, each spending two hours daily for cultivation guidance."

"The Triple S-Class contract enhances the S-Class and Double S-Class terms with additional cultivation resources only available to Dharma Martial Artists, a monthly scholarship of 600,000, and daily guidance from six powerful teachers with strong skills and techniques. This allows transformational growth, becoming a Dharma Martial Artist in the shortest time, but requires you to raise your physical fitness to above 3.0 and complete this before college entrance exams!"

Di Yang spoke firmly.

He believed the benefits of the Triple S-Class contract would garner Ling Feng's interest and encourage him to find ways to improve his physical fitness to meet the requirements.

"Uh... is there a contract that allows cultivation at Starry Sky University without requiring daily teacher-led sessions?"

After hearing Di Yang's explanation, Ling Feng curiously asked.

These three contracts were all good, but each required him to undergo mandatory cultivation; how could that work?

Especially the Triple S-Class contract, which was the most extreme, requiring daily guidance by six teachers, leaving barely any time for normal life after accounting for eating, drinking, and sleeping.
