The full name of Hokubu is Hokuto Martial Arts University. Before the catastrophe, it was originally two world-renowned universities. After the catastrophe and reconstruction, the two universities merged into one, which became Hokubu today.
From its inception, Beiwu was selected as one of the world's top 100 martial arts universities.
It has maintained a high ranking for many years since then, and now it has become a regular in the top three.
Those who can enter here are undoubtedly the chosen ones.
It was nighttime, and the stars were already twinkling, but by the Weiming Lake at Beiwu, many students were still honing their skills in the night breeze or exchanging martial arts techniques with each other, creating a positive and motivated atmosphere.
Even though it's summer vacation, these students seem to have lost the concept of a holiday.
In a secluded courtyard, accompanied by a faint cheer, the gate opened and a group of boys and girls, around seventeen or eighteen years old with still some childishness in their faces, rushed out.
The senior students who occasionally passed by were not surprised by this. There were too many geniuses at Beiwu, and the competition was extremely fierce, with all kinds of training classes emerging one after another.
Clearly, these freshmen had just endured a round of torment and were only now escaping their "sea of suffering."
"Ding Yi, we're planning to go to Minzu Alley for late-night snacks, and then go clubbing in the east of the city... Do you want to come?"
Several girls who were laughing freely suddenly stopped, turned to look at the girl at the back of the crowd, and asked.
The girl who was at the back of the group raised her head slightly upon hearing this. The cool moonlight shone down and shone on her seemingly spotless and smooth face, creating layers of beautiful halos. Not to mention the boy next to her, even the girls couldn't help but stare in amazement.
"I'm not going, I'm going back to my dorm." Ding Yi shook his head.
"Hey class monitor, it's a two-week closed training camp, there's no rush to rest now, why don't we go together?" another boy said with a smile, snapping out of his daze.
"I need to go back and charge it." Ding Yi shook his head again, but still held up the bracelet he had just received and explained.
"Oh, so you were in a hurry to get back and make a phone call!"
The girls immediately smiled knowingly.
They were all Ding Yi's roommates after he came to Beidu, but they knew that Ding Yi seemed to have a boyfriend back in his hometown.
Seeing that Ding Yi's cheeks were slightly flushed but he did not deny it, the boys next to him looked somewhat saddened, and occasionally a hint of resentment flashed through their eyes.
How can such a beautiful girl be in a relationship so early?
The group walked along the path, chatting incessantly as they went.
"Speaking of which, today is June 28th, the college entrance exam must have been over long ago, right?"
"Definitely, the results should be out by now."
"But it has nothing to do with us anymore..."
Ding Yi, who had been silent, seemed lost in thought as they chatted and laughed, but it was unclear what he was thinking.
Just then, two senior students wiping their sweat passed by them.
"Are we going to the Ministry of Education tomorrow? Lots of people have made plans."
"Why go to the Ministry of Education?"
"Let's go see that legendary national martial arts champion. I heard his information is hanging in the Wuzhao Hall. Jingcheng is too far away, and I just can't resist my curiosity."
"That's not bad. Hey, the number one martial arts champion, that's an amazing title. I'd like to see if that guy has three heads and six arms..."
The two walked away while talking, leaving the group of freshmen somewhat stunned.
"What are they talking about, the national martial arts champion?"
"That's fake, isn't it? There's no such thing as a national champion in martial arts; it's all judged by each province, isn't it?"
"Jingcheng..."
Ding Yi didn't participate in their discussion, only muttering something, his absent-mindedness becoming even more obvious.
Bang!
A sudden explosion drew everyone's attention.
Everyone looked up in surprise and found that the entire night sky was lit up.
A beam of light rose from the center of the lake, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime, and Ding Yi was unconsciously drawn to this light.
The light suddenly spread out in mid-air, turning into fireworks that covered a hundred meters, but the shape was scattered and it was somewhat uncomfortable to look at.
Bang!
Immediately afterwards, a second burst of fireworks rose into the sky.
boom!
Fireworks exploded again, merging with the lingering smoke in the sky, creating a picture in the distance.
At this moment, everyone in Beiwu fell silent, watching the fireworks display in the sky.
The third bundle, the fourth bundle...
Fireworks continued to explode, adding stroke after stroke to the scroll in the sky.
When the painting finally took shape, Ding Yi, who was staring blankly at the sky, suddenly had tears in his eyes.
The colorful fireworks painting vaguely outlined the shape of a street. In front of a blurry building, a girl with long, flowing black hair stood with her head tilted back under a street lamp, tears made of blue fireworks constantly dripping from her face.
Not far away, a boy stood in a corner, his hesitant posture vividly portrayed, as if he didn't know whether he should go forward to comfort the crying girl.
The dynamic "fireworks picture" seemed to have some kind of magic, unconsciously stirring the emotions of the students of Beiwu who were looking up at it. They hoped that the boy would walk forward and give the girl another hug.
Finally, another firework shot into the sky, and the boy indeed emerged from the corner.
As the fireworks continued to bloom, the boy gradually walked towards the girl and finally stood in front of her.
A tear finally slipped down her cheek.
This is the scene of their first meeting.
As if sensing something, Ding Yi suddenly turned his gaze away from the sky and looked ahead.
On the wooden bridge extending from the lake, a young man stood in the dim light, gazing at her with a smile.
