"I didn't recruit Ding Yi, but if I remember correctly, she was at the seventh level of the beginner martial artist level at the time."

Huang Lizhi recalled for a moment and said.

Seventh level of beginner martial artist?

Even though things are very different now than before, I still couldn't help but be amazed.

In fact, geniuses who can break through to the initial stage of martial arts during high school can already be specially recruited by the four major schools. Ding Yi's strength is indeed rare.

No wonder she chose me... ugh, the woman I chose.

Speaking of which, the two haven't been in contact much lately. Ding Yi seems to be busy with something again. Of course, there's also a more plausible possibility.

With the college entrance examination approaching, Ding Yi didn't want to let her interfere with Chen Qian's studies.

This is Shen Qian's own speculation, but it should be relatively close to the truth.

...Ding Yi just refused to believe that Shen Qian's academic performance had made great progress.

Shen Qian pondered that this might be related to the fact that he had told the truth.

After chatting with Huang Lizhi for a few more minutes, Shen Qian saw him out of the room. However, to his surprise, only Liu Kong was in the corridor, while Wei Sijian had disappeared without a trace.

Shen Qian, who was still racking her brains about how to appease Wei Sijian, was taken aback when she saw this, "Where is he?"

"Junior Brother Wei has gone back first," Liu Kongdao said.

"Huh?" Shen Qian was a little surprised. Giving up so easily was not like Wei Sijian's personality.

"Junior Brother Wei can be a bit eccentric at times."

Liu Kong said helplessly, "However, I suggest you be careful. Just now, Junior Brother Wei came up with some idea, saying that this would definitely get you into the Pharmacy Academy, and then he excitedly ran off, saying he was going to discuss it with the teacher..."

Shen Qian chuckled to himself. If he didn't want to go, did he think he could force him to go?

After seeing Huang Lizhi and Liu Kong off, Shen Qian returned to the presidential suite. Just as he was thinking of making a phone call to Huang Tao, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Because on the sofa, there was a middle-aged man, dressed in a sharp black suit, who looked to be around forty years old.

He had sharp, sword-like eyebrows and chiseled features, bright eyes, and sat upright, staring intently at Chen Qian.

This person possessed a familiar, subtle sense of oppression that, even when deliberately concealed, still lingered. Shen Qian had felt this same feeling from both Liu Changqing and Shi Dingyan.

A powerful figure from the mountains and seas!

He was initially wary before sinking, but quickly relaxed.

The system is not responding.

Secondly, in Jingcheng, under the watchful eye of the powerful Gao, no one could kill him.

Shen Qian was quite confident about this, because it was not only his guess, but also what Shi Dingyan said himself.

"May I ask who you are?" Even towards a powerful figure from the Mountain and Sea Realm, Shen Qian maintained sufficient politeness.

"Dear Shen Qian, I apologize for disturbing you."

The middle-aged man gestured for Shen Qian to sit down, and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Shouyi, and my current position is the commander of the Lushu Battalion of the Jiangzhong Army, with the rank of lieutenant colonel."

After speaking, Yu Shousi took out his ID and showed it to Shen Qian.

Shen Qian was taken aback. He didn't know the previous rank, but having read some military publications, he knew that "lieutenant colonel" was already a mid-level officer in the army and should not be underestimated.

"Commander Yu, may I ask why you've come to see me?"

"I have a second position."

Yu Shouyi slowly said, "I am also the director of academic affairs at Jiangzhong Military Academy."

Jiangzhong Military?

Shen Qian, who had just made the connection, was still somewhat surprised when the other party confirmed it. Although he felt it shouldn't be like this, he instantly understood the other party's purpose.

"You're here to recruit students too?"

"Yes, I personally think that Shen Qian is very outstanding and meets or even exceeds the admission standards of our Jiangzhong Military Academy. So I came here specifically to invite Shen Qian to join Jiangzhong Military Academy."

Shen Qian asked, puzzled, "But didn't Jiangzhong Military Academy stop recruiting ten years ago?"

“That’s right, the enrollment process only restarted this year.” Yu Shousi nodded.

"Then why didn't we hear a single word about it before?" Shen Qian pressed.

Logically speaking, given the status of Jiangzhong Military Academy, its recruitment efforts would undoubtedly cause a sensation in the country.

"This matter is a bit complicated."

Yu Shousi said carefully, "In short, although the decision to reopen the school has been in the works for a long time, it has been delayed for some reason."

“Shen Qian, you should have seen this year’s college entrance examination admission guide, right? The fact that Jiangzhong Military Academy is mentioned in it is already a signal.”

"However, by the time this matter was finalized and all the procedures with the Martial Arts Department, the Ministry of Education, and the Military were completed, it was already a month ago, so there wasn't enough time to include it in the Ministry of Education's unified enrollment plan for this year."

"To be honest, I only took office as the dean of academic affairs twenty days ago."

Shen Qian nodded, unable to contain his curiosity, and asked another question, "It was only confirmed a month ago, will you still be able to recruit enough students?"

As a former top university, Jiangzhong Military Academy's re-establishment of its school will certainly not have low entry requirements.

But by this point, most of the top martial arts talents have already been snapped up by the four major schools. How can Jiangzhong Military Academy guarantee its student enrollment?

A university cannot be supported by just a few people.

"Hehe, although the procedures were only completed a month ago, we took precautions and had already spread some word through military channels beforehand."

"Among the new recruits who joined the army this year, there are many eligible teenagers who are our potential source of talent. We have already identified some potential martial arts geniuses in advance."

"At the same time, Shen Qian should know that most of the country's strong people come from our military, and their children are also top geniuses."

"These are the reasons that give us the confidence to reopen the military academy this year."

Suddenly, before sinking in, a series of events flashed through his mind.

I remember when I first had a conflict with Zhao Xin, he was wondering why the other person, who was clearly quite talented, would join the army. It turns out that's where the problem lies.

Clearly, Zhao Xin's parents were among those who received the "insider information."

While Shen Qian was lost in thought, Yu Shouyi suddenly took out a document from his pocket and placed it in front of Shen Qian.

Shen Qian lowered his head in confusion, then narrowed his eyes.

This is his personal file, and in the lower right corner of the file, there is a bright red stamp belonging to the military.

This is also a lingering effect of the Zhao Xin incident.

Although the conflict was resolved before the sinking, it is an undeniable fact that Zhao Xin's family had already reported him as a new recruit in the army, which is a potential hidden danger.

However, with a powerful figure protecting them, this hidden danger was not insurmountable, so they overlooked it before the incident.

"Actually, the most reasonable approach would be to use the pretext of conscription to force Shen Qian to choose military studies as his only option. However, after getting to know Shen Qian better recently, I have abandoned this idea."

Yu Shouyi said frankly, "That's why I'm visiting you in person tonight."

After saying that, Yu Shouyi neatly tore the documents on the table to shreds, then smiled and looked up.

"So, Shen Qian, is this sincerity enough to make you consider enrolling in Jiangzhong Military Academy?"
