The next day, Meng Chao announced his aspiration to his teachers and students.
No one was surprised by his choice.
Agricultural University's cafeteria was famous for its lavish food. Meng Chao did not have a lot of skills he could use, so if he went to Agricultural University's martial arts course and trained himself to become a muscular man with thick skin and beast souls in his body, he would be able to dominate the world with just one skill.
Demon Yan found it a pity that Meng Chao's shooting skills were lacking, so he warmly invited Meng Chao to the military school for an exchange if he had the chance.
The structure of the higher education institutions in Dragon City was one of the top five.
It was the super rich and powerful Dragon City University.
In addition to the Agricultural University, the University of Technology, the Medical University, the University of Science and Technology, and the Military Academy, there were five famous universities.
Dragon City University was located in a traditional university town to the west of the city. It alone occupied nearly ten thousand acres of land. It had a cultivation center and research center. It even had its own weapon factory.
The five famous universities were located in the new university town in the east of the city. They were working together to fight against Dragon City University.
The five universities were very close to each other. They were either separated by a wall or a road, and they also had a common enemy, Dragon City University. Their relationship was pretty good, and their academic exchanges were very close.
Meng Chao was very grateful for Demon Yan's kindness, and he told Ning Shewo about his choice.
Ning Shewo found it a pity that he did not major in the resource course.
But everyone had their own ambitions, and he could not force them. Besides, with Meng Chao's marks, he could totally register for a few more elective courses in the resource course. After all, he was in Agricultural University, so it would not affect him.
When the Ripple Force Princess of Yan Organization learned that Meng Chao had woken up, she brought a fruit basket to visit him in the morning.
When Yan Feirou learned that he did not choose Dragon City University's martial arts course, she felt very regretful.
But to broken-star superhumans, Long Da was indeed not the best choice.
She could only lament about how the heavens were jealous of geniuses. He was the Old Fire Relayer's true disciple, but he was going to end up in a place like Agricultural University's martial arts course.
In truth, Meng Chao did not really like being in close contact with Yan Feirou.
His attitude towards internet celebrities had always been that they could only be watched from afar, not played with.
He always felt that the Ripple Force Princess had too many things on her mind, and it was a little tiring to interact with her.
For example, when Yan Feirou came to visit him, she did not forget to beat around the bush to see whether the Old Fire Relayer had a treatment plan.
Meng Chao did not want to reveal too much about the Old Fire Relayer.
When his parents came, they used the excuse that they wanted to be discharged and went home to chase Yan Feirou away.
His righteous look stunned Bai Jiacao. She even asked him quietly, "Big Brother, do you like to look at young ladies through your phone or computer? Do you not know what to do when you run into real ladies in real life?"
Before her brother could make a move, the little lass hid behind her parents and made faces at him.
Meng Chao was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he did not have the time to argue with Bai Jiacao.
After completing the discharge procedures, he had an appointment to keep.
The president of Construction High, Luo Hai, asked him to go to the Supernatural Tower to register as a superhuman.
…
"The Supernatural Tower looks really grand from here!"
Half an hour later, Meng Chao appeared in the public square in front of the Supernatural Tower. He looked up, and his neck looked like it was about to snap.
The towering Supernatural Tower was like a space elevator connected to the geosynchronous orbit. It could bring humans from the surface of the planet to the endless stars.
Of course, that was impossible.
Right now, Earthlings did not have the ability to launch satellites and explore beyond the Other World's atmosphere.
The weather bureau had also launched some hot air balloons for observation purposes in an attempt to rise beyond the atmosphere to take panoramic pictures of the Other World.
At the very least, it would allow Earthlings to understand just what sort of planet they had transmigrated to.
But all the hot air balloons exploded strangely above the atmosphere.
It was as if there was a mysterious power that prevented them from exploring the entire planet.
Many of the Heaven Realm and Deity Realm superhumans had mastered maglev and could use the repulsive force between their own magnetic field and the planet's magnetic field to negate the effects of gravity and rise.
But they were also obstructed above the atmosphere and could not take even half a step higher.
If they continued to forcefully rise, they would suffer great damage. It was like they were tens of thousands of meters under the sea and had to bear the pressure of millions of tons of seawater. Their eyeballs and organs would explode.
The Supernatural Tower was like a sharp blade that pierced the sky, and it was the highest observation station for the transmigrators.
For the time being, they could only see endless fog.
There were plenty of tourists in the square.
Many citizens lined up to visit the Supernatural Tower.
There was a large area in the Supernatural Tower that was open to all citizens for free.
If they were willing to spend money, they could ride on a special maglev platform and go above the hundredth floor. Then, they could look down on all of Dragon City and Monster Mountain Range, which was shrouded in fog.
Of course, the core area was only open to superhumans, and there was a strict requirement for their cultivation realms.
Once they reached a certain level, they could enter certain floors.
Once they reached Deity Realm, they could go to the highest floor of the Supernatural Tower.
"Stand at the top of the Supernatural Tower and see the unparalleled scenery."
This was the motivation for many of the Dragon Citizens to train hard.
Aside from normal tourists, Meng Chao also saw some people of the same age as him who were dressed in fresh clothes and rode on horses.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, all of them were tall and beautiful. Spirit energy surrounded them, and their eyes sparkled. They did not hide the profound and complicated spirit tattoos on their skin.
They were the same kind as Meng Chao. They were new superhumans who came here to register.
They had just stepped onto the path of superhumans and had yet to learn how to hold back, compress, and store spirit energy. Their energy easily flowed through their spirit meridians and appeared on their skin to form colorful and shiny patterns.
But they did not want to control it. Instead, they held their heads high and flaunted how different they were from others.
"So many of my peers have become superhumans!" Meng Chao sighed.
Every July and August was Dragon City's Superhuman Season.
It had become a tradition for the new generation of the aristocratic families to become superhumans after the national college examination.
Before the national college examination, the youths' bodies and temperaments were not mature and stable enough. If they spoiled things to help them grow, it was very easy for them to end up hurting themselves forever.
In fact, there were once geniuses who became superhumans at the age of twelve or thirteen, but their minds gradually went astray and they turned into wicked demons.
As time went by, the national college examination became the standard to measure them.
If they performed well during the national college examination, the rich and powerful children would receive the support of their families. They could go to cultivation rooms with complete facilities and use a large amount of resources to reach the limits of their lives.
As he watched them, Meng Chao felt complicated emotions.
He had fought hard in the wild and nearly died together with the Bloody Moon Wolf King. It was not easy for him to become a superhuman, but he still had to solve the problem of his spirit meridians.
The rich and powerful children could stay at home comfortably. Under the protection of Heaven Realm elites or even Deity Realm elites, they could safely, efficiently, and steadily become superhumans with priceless cultivation machines and gene medicine.
Based on the dazzling spirit tattoos on their limbs, they had cleared dozens of main meridians.
Meng Chao could not help but feel a little jealous.
However, his current state of mind was much more stable than when he had just returned to the past.
At that time, he believed that Zuo Haoran was the one who caused his tragedy, and he was filled with hostility toward the rich and powerful children. He wanted to climb to the top of the world as soon as possible and trample on all of them.
Now that he thought about it, when the apocalypse arrived, it did not matter whether they were rich or poor, whether they lived in Dragon City No.1 or the public renting houses, they would all be reduced to dust. No one would be able to escape.
They were all in the same boat. An appropriate slap in the face was good for the body and mind. There was no need for him to grit his teeth and target them.
"You're rich, and I'm using cheats. It's a fair competition!" Meng Chao smiled.
"Meng Chao!"
Luo Hai appeared with a grin.
The Construction High club president was completely different from the person he was during his national college examination.
In one night, he had grown eight centimeters taller, and he had around thirty kilograms of muscles on his body. His eyes were bright, and his skin shone with a metallic luster. He was becoming more like his father, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu.
"Luo Hai, you've awakened as well?"
Meng Chao sized him up and smiled. "Your hands and feet are covered in spirit tattoos. Looks like you've cleared quite a number of main meridians!"
"It's all thanks to you that I've cleared sixty-one main meridians. I can somewhat fight against the prodigies in Dragon City University's martial arts course."
Luo Hai knew how to conduct himself. He knew that Meng Chao had not cleared a lot of main meridians, and he was afraid that he would touch on a sore spot, so he quickly explained, "Meng Chao, I asked to meet you today because I came here sincerely to thank you.
"You know that my father is Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu. He naturally gave me a lot of convenience on my path of cultivation, but you might not know this. My father has fifteen children, and I'm not the most favored one. The competition I face in the family is also very fierce."
Meng Chao was a little stunned, but he immediately understood.
Dragon City was always at war, and the mortality rate of adult men was high. The ratio of men to women was also imbalanced, so their views toward marriage and childbirth were naturally different from those on Earth.
In this era where people worshiped the strong and longed to pass down powerful genes, it was not strange for a Heaven Realm superhuman to have around twenty children.
In fact, there was even a saying that peerless fighters should spread their seeds of life so that their powerful genes could be spread. This was the responsibility they had to do to protect their civilization.
There were quite a number of powerful fighters who held this view. They had around fifty children, and they were even stronger than the emperors of ancient times.
Those "rich children" were rather pitiful.
"Meng Chao, I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me, but when I was sent to the wild, I was actually very panicked. I really wanted to run in the direction of the city. If I did that, even if I managed to stay alive, I wouldn't be able to gain my father's favor.
Luo Hai smiled wanly. "My father's personality is as firm, cold, and merciless as his Soul Breaking Saber. If my performance can't satisfy him, he definitely won't help me become a superhuman.
"The fighting courses in the university fight fiercely against each other the moment the semester starts. They fight for resources, tutors, all sorts of practical missions, delicious food with a lot of spirit energy, and luxurious dorms with a lot of spirit energy. They fight for everything.
"Whoever awakens to supernatural abilities before the semester starts will be the first to stand out, and they will have the advantage of being the first to start.
"But if anyone enters the university as a normal person, they will forever be at the bottom.
"There are quite a number of people in my circle of friends who have become superhumans. If I entered the university as a normal person, I would never be their opponent, and my life would be over.
"It's all thanks to you gathering and motivating the people. You led us to fight back, and I killed quite a number of Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves. That's how I gained my father's acknowledgement, and it gave me the power to fight against those prodigies. Thank you!"
His words were pretty sincere.
Meng Chao smiled and said, "We fought together, and only then did we manage to carve a path out of the wolf pack. There's no need for you to be so polite. If I really want to thank someone, I should be the one thanking you. Your father helped me get a lot of valuable materials and super gene medicine that can't be bought in the market. That's why I woke up so early. Otherwise, I might not have been able to make it to the start of the university, and that would have been bad."
"Unfortunately, I still couldn't help you repair your main meridians …"
A hint of regret flashed in Luo Hai's eyes. Soon, he changed the topic and looked at the towering Supernatural Tower. "Meng Chao, do you know that there's an ancient ruin under the Supernatural Tower?"
