The procedures were completed quickly.
When they walked out of the administrative office, Andrew was already a second-year student at Stanford University.
Coincidentally, he met the teacher-in-charge of the administrative office.
He was one of the instructors at Stanford University, Brian.
“Isn’t Stanford University one of the three most famous martial arts colleges in the entire United States?” Andrew asked with some doubt.
“Yeah, why?”
“The school is filled with martial artists, and their standards aren’t too bad, but they’re basically all low-level martial artists. Why are there so few people in the middle levels? I didn’t see many along the way.”
Hearing Andrew’s doubt, Brian smiled.
Was this the world of geniuses?
These students had only been admitted to Stanford University for a few years. How could it be so easy for them to advance to the middle levels?
Not everyone was like Grandmaster Thunderblade, who possessed monstrous talent.
“Your sister Annie is already the top genius in the school. It’s tough for most students to advance to the middle grades before graduation. Moreover, it’s not enough to advance to the middle grades just by studying in school. The most important thing is to go out into the wild to gain experience.
“The experience of life and death is the fastest way to increase your strength.”
Walking out of the administrative office, Annie was waiting for him at the door.
“Sister will take you around the campus! Let’s see how good the environment of our Stanford University is!”
Annie walked over without any hesitation and directly grabbed Andrew’s hand.
The siblings walked onto the campus streets.
Di di di di —
Andrew’s phone suddenly rang. When he opened it, it was a call from Chris.
“What’s the matter?”
“Grandmaster Thunderblade, our department head has something to talk to you about.”
After a few seconds, Clayton’s familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Andrew, you’re already at Stanford University?”
Andrew frowned.
How could this guy’s intelligence be so sensitive? was he spying on him?
“How do you know?”
Clayton smiled bitterly. “You made such a big commotion at the train station, and our Martial Arts Administration isn’t blind. Of course, we know this news.
“Since you’re already at Stanford University, hurry up and finish the formalities. Remember to register for the Martial Arts Conference.”
“I still need to register?” asked Andrew.
A martial arts conference was actually so troublesome.
“Didn’t you say that I could directly participate in the finals?”
As a martial arts grandmaster, he actually wanted him to register and compete with a group of kids for a spot to advance.
Just thinking about it made Andrew feel that he was bullying others.
And if this news got out, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
Chapter 120 - Refusing to Participate!
“Absolutely impossible,” Andrew directly refused.
There was no need to even think about this kind of thing.
No matter what, it was impossible for Andrew to participate in the martial arts competition with a bunch of kids. Otherwise, where would he put his reputation as Grandmaster Thunderblade?
Andrew sneered and said, “Didn’t New York University have a girl named Diana, who is also a seventh rank grandmaster? There’s also Spencer from Yale University, who is also a seventh stage grandmaster. Their ranking on the grandmaster list is hundreds of places higher than mine. Why don’t you go and look for them?”
After saying that, Andrew directly hung up the phone.
He was invincible in the ninth stage anyway. What was there to be afraid of?
Annie patted Andrew’s shoulder and held his arm, asking, “Who made you so angry?”
“Don’t worry about it.”Andrew waved his hand.
However, his eyes swept over Annie’s chest and stopped for a few seconds.
He looked at Annie with a playful smile.
He asked, “My sister seems to have gotten bigger after not seeing her for a while!”
“What are you talking about?” Annie snorted.
However, her face was full of a delighted smile, and her heart was happy.
“Oh right, I have a gift for you!”
Andrew took out a pair of shoes and handed them to Annie.
“Shoes?”
Annie took the shoes and looked at them in surprise.
This pair of shoes looked extraordinary.
Ordinary shoes were made of fabric and rubber. However, this pair of shoes looked like they were made of metal. Moreover, the colors were varied, and they were a little shiny and dazzling.
“Sister, do you like this pair of shoes?”
“I do… but isn’t this pair of shoes a little too dazzling?”
Annie said with some hesitation.
However, the actual thoughts in her heart were:
Andrew, this dumb man!
Even if he was gifting his sister, there was no reason for him to give a pair of shoes to a girl.
Moreover, even if he was giving a pair of shoes, there should at least be a packaging box.
Why would someone suddenly take out a pair of shoes as a gift out of nowhere?
Just as Annie was thinking, Andrew reached out and took the shoes back.
“As long as you like the style, it’s fine. In order to create this pair of divine shoes, I spent a lot of effort and even specially referenced some popular styles on the Internet.”
Annie was stunned.
“Brother, you said that these are… divine shoes?”
Annie’s eyes were filled with shock.
Divine weapons were very precious.
Not to mention a sophomore like her, even a few professors at Stanford University did not have such weapons.
As for whether the principal and Carroll had divine weapons, this was not something Annie knew.
Andrew did not feel that something was wrong and continued to ask, “Sis, what color do you like? When the time comes, I’ll find a master to help you color it accordingly. As long as the style is okay, it’s fine.
“Also, aren’t you going to participate in the selection of the martial arts competition? I even helped you get a magic weapon!”
Andrew flipped his wrist, and a simple-looking sword with a dark green color appeared in his hand.
This dark green color made the surrounding environment instantly become much colder.
The temperature seemed to have dropped a little as well.
When Annie looked at the sword, for some reason, she had a natural feeling of closeness.
This dark green color seemed to connect with nature, giving the sword a feeling of returning to its original state.
“Big Sister, this is a divine weapon I specially made for you. It’s called the ‘fifteen.’ Your current strength is at the fourth stage realm, so you can only display a small part of the weapon’s power. However, it’s enough to increase your strength by another level.”
He handed the sword to Annie.
“Also, this is called Golden Body Fragment. It should be able to increase your strength.”
A golden fragment that was emitting a dark golden light appeared in Andrew’s hand.
“Normally speaking, this golden body fragment is used by warriors of the sixth stage. It is helpful in forging a golden body. Since you’re at the fourth stage, you can try to refine it in advance.
“If you still can’t use it, then just wait a little longer.”
A pile of things was handed over to Annie.
Annie’s originally bright big eyes were now wide open, and her face was filled with shock.
The things that Andrew had taken out just no
w weren’t ordinary items.
Any one of them was a priceless treasure.
“Sister, don’t worry. These things have a clean background. I didn’t steal or rob them.
“Some of them are from slaying demonic beasts, while others are from killing evil martial artists.”
“Evil martial artists?”
Annie didn’t have any reaction when she heard about demonic beasts.
But when she heard about evil martial artists, Annie frowned.
“You’re doing these dangerous things again. Although you’re already eighteen years old now, and I shouldn’t interfere with many things, how come you always meet evil martial artists!
“You’re only 18, yet you’ve already cultivated to the seventh rank. This is something that has never happened before in the entire martial arts world. With your talent, there won’t be any problems for you to become an Ultimate in the future.”
Annie taught him a serious lesson.
“I’ve said it many times. The wilderness is very dangerous. Although you’re already a seventh rank now, you still have room for improvement. You can wait a few years until you become an eighth or ninth rank, and then go hunt demon beasts.”
“En…”
Andrew was about to explain himself, saying that he was already invincible in the ninth grade.
But after thinking carefully, above the ninth grade, there were even more powerful experts.
Although he was strong, he wasn’t invincible in the world yet.
So Andrew obediently shut his mouth.
Annie wasn’t really angry. She only cared about Andrew’s safety and didn’t want him to encounter any danger.
Annie did not continue to pursue this matter.
The two of them walked around the campus and had lunch together before they decided to separate.
Andrew wanted to return to his dormitory. The girls couldn’t enter the male dormitory area.
“After I go back, I will try to refine the golden body fragment and see if it has any effect.
“You have to take care of yourself!”
After parting ways, Andrew whistled and walked towards the male dormitory.
Suddenly, a shout came from not far away.
“That’s Grandmaster Thunderblade! He actually appeared here! Quick, go stop him! Don’t let him run away!”
After hearing this, Andrew felt a little unhappy.
He wasn’t a wild animal, nor was he a domesticated pet. How could he run away?
This term was really inappropriate.
Moreover… this was too exaggerated.
Since he was a sophomore at Stanford University, wasn’t it normal for him to appear here?
The big brother carrying a camera was probably a warrior.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to run so fast. Carrying a camera that weighed dozens of pounds, this big brother rushed to Andrew’s front in less than five seconds at a speed of 100 meters per second.
Another sweet-looking girl followed the guy. She was the one who had shouted just now.
Chapter 121 - Interview!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Just now, this girl’s voice was very heroic.
Now, a peaceful smile adorned her face, and her voice became sweet.
“Excuse me, are you Grandmaster Thunderblade?”
“I am.” Andrew nodded.
“According to the information I have now, you are ranked second from the bottom on the grandmaster ranking. However, you are already a grandmaster with a title, and other than you, all the other grandmasters with titles are ranked in the top 100.
“May I ask, why this is so? Many people say that it’s because of some shady things. As you don’t have any battle results, many feel that you are not qualified to become a grandmaster with a title. What do you think about this?”
This girl was from Stanford University’s Department of Culture. She studied journalism and media.
The questions she asked were very sensitive.
Once the interview was released, it would probably attract a lot of attention in the media.
Facing this sensitive question, Andrew’s expression didn’t change.
“You shouldn’t be asking me this question. You should be asking the person who prepares the grandmaster rankings.
“The other conferred grandmasters are all ranked in the top 100, but I’m the last one. What do I think? I think… They should have been ranked wrong. Or there’s something wrong with the brain of the person who prepares the ranking?”
Upon hearing this answer, the female reporter was stunned.
Her mouth was wide open in shock.
There was such an answer?
Was Grandmaster Thunderblade so straightforward and intrepid?
However, this was exactly the effect she wanted.
The more explosive the answer was, the more attention it would attract when it was released.
“Grandmaster Thunderblade’s answer is very good. But I have another question. The national martial arts competition is about to begin. What do you think?”
“Uh…”
This question stumped Andrew.
He muttered to himself, “Sit and watch? Watch on the spot? Stand and watch? Lie down and watch?
“How do I look more comfortable?”
The female reporter was speechless. She could only hurriedly explain, “Grandmaster Thunderblade, what I mean is, what is your opinion on this National Martial Arts Conference?”
“Oh, I see.”
Andrew looked like he understood.
“I think it’s good to spar. After all, warriors have to fight. Only in constant battle can they find their weaknesses and improve their battle techniques.
“I believe the National Martial Arts Conference is an excellent opportunity!”
“Grandmaster Thunderblade, as far as I know, you’re not the only one who’s going to participate in this martial arts conference. There’s also New York University’s Diana and Yale University’s Spencer. They’re both seventh-stage martial artists, and their rankings on the grandmaster rankings are even higher than yours. May I ask what you think about your future fights with them?”
“Eh?”
Andrew suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.
“Me? Participate in the martial arts conference? What does that have to do with me?”
Andrew was dumbfounded.
This female reporter still had a professional smile on her face. “The news has spread everywhere. Grandmaster Thunderblade has already signed up to participate in the National Martial Arts Conference. Everyone is looking forward to your performance.”
“I didn’t sign up…” As he said that, Andrew seemed to have realized something.
“Clayton, that bastard! He actually secretly signed me up!”
Andrew cursed loudly on the campus street.
“Tomorrow, I’ll directly withdraw and see what this old man can do! He actually wants to force me to participate in the martial arts competition!”
After saying this, Andrew left angrily.
…
Very soon, Andrew found his dormitory.
Although it was called a dormitory, it was actually a single-person apartment.
The area was not small, about 40 to 50 square meters. It was enough for Andrew to live alone.
The house had everything, including a bedroom, a living room, some necessary appliances, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
The room had good lighting, and it was very comfortable to live in.
The furniture also seemed new, looking spacious, bright, and clean.
Andrew was satisfied with the living environment.
The most important thing was that the cafeteria at Stanford University was excellent. The food was good, the snacks and meals were very rich, and the taste was not bad.
Andrew didn’t sleep well on the train last night, so he went to bed early.
He set the alarm for the next morning before sleeping.
…
June 6th.
The weather was clear.
Andrew walked out of the dormitory building. After taking a walk on the campus, he left Stanford University.
He had asked Johnson to help him contact a master forger. Not only was this master forger very strong in forging divine weapons, but he was also a seventh-grade grandmaster. He lived at the base of “Qinghai.”
Andrew bought a round-trip ticket and soon arrived at the master forger’s place.
Both pairs of shoes had been painted, and there were some minor adjustments.
It was very comfortable to wear, much more so than all the shoes on the market.
And it looked like ordinary sports shoes, not as eye-catching as before.
When he returned to school, it was the evening of this day.
There was no one walking on the school street, and the whole campus sounded quiet.
This made Andrew feel strange.
It was just after dinner. There should be many students taking a walk on the school streets.
Could it be?
The martial arts competition had already begun?
Andrew immediately rushed to the field. As expected, the field was jam-packed. The students were all gathered together and shouting loudly.
“Senior Carl is the pride of our Stanford University. He has already reached the middle stage of the fourth grade in his sophomore year. You must know that many juniors and seniors don’t have this kind of strength.”
“His realm is only a part of it. However, the most powerful thing about Senior Carl is his knife skills. They have reached the level of moving clouds and flowing water. The knife is just like his arm. It is very easy to use.”
“With his knife and mysterious knife skills, Senior Carl is able to contend against a peak fourth-grade opponent!”
The surrounding students were all shouting and exchanging their opinions. They were saying which of the two people on the field they thought would win.
“Something’s wrong. Senior Carl seems to have made a mistake.”
One of Carl’s little fangirls let out a scream.
However, she was soon relieved.
“Senior Carl just deliberately made a mistake. The other party was fooled and was defeated by Senior Carl.”
