Chapter 18 - 17: Hasn’t Anyone Told You That You Talk Too Much?
"A salary of ten thousand a month—who could resist that? The moment you become a Martial Artist, it’s like the nation itself is paying to support you. Starting today, no one can stop me from practicing Martial Arts. I’m telling you, not even Jesus could stop me!"
"You’re the kind of person who wouldn’t even dare to dream big. A First Realm Martial Artist gets ten thousand a month. What about the Second Realm or Third Realm? Still, thinking about it, the path of Martial Arts must be incredibly difficult. I bet not a single senior Martial Arts Student has even achieved Qi Blood Sensing. But that’s no big deal. Those seniors are old news; the future belongs to us freshmen!"
"This big lecture is definitely to promote Martial Arts to us freshmen. The seniors are busy with their college entrance exams, and the second-years are swamped with studies too. That leaves us freshmen, caught in the middle! We have the most time and energy. This is a golden opportunity, brothers! When we get back, everyone better start practicing the Horse Stance!"
"You talk a big game now, full of ambition, but when it’s time for the Horse Stance, you’ll be fighting for your life. Still want to practice Martial Arts and the Horse Stance? Just get into the Horse Stance and stay there, without making a sound."
"Those poor seniors. If they switch to become Martial Arts Students now, they’ll have less than four months to practice. Not like us first-years; we’ll have two and a half years of practice before the college entrance exam."
"Two and a half years to train in Martial Arts; forget about exams entirely. Graduate without needing to work, and still get a martial arts stipend of ten thousand a month."
The lecture ended, and the students began to leave the auditorium one after another.
The first-year students were the most excited, talking to each other with their arms slung over shoulders. Many had made up their minds to switch to becoming Martial Arts Students. In their view, being a Martial Arts Student was already the most relaxed existence among students.
They used to think that Martial Arts Students were just enjoying the moment, with a bleak future ahead. But unexpectedly, with the new government decree, Martial Arts Students had become the real hot commodity.
It could be said that once one became a Martial Artist, you wouldn’t trade it for a degree from a top university.
