Jing Heqiu didn't understand what was going on at all. He was just a Foundation Establishment student, so why did Elder Teng care so much about him?
No. 60 High School had been selected as an exception to begin with. If Elder Teng hadn't put No. 60 High School on the list back then, it was likely that No. 60 High School wouldn't have even qualified for further selection.
The qualification to go to the Core World this time was very hard to come by, and it was a move to win glory for the country.
On the list of the second seven-man team, the top 30 high schools were secretly surging. Everyone wanted to ask for permission to fight.
In fact, the invitation from the Nine Heavens Teahouse was also a disguised test of the intelligence gathering ability of these universities. If this group of people knew who Elder Teng was, they would definitely not refuse the invitation.
To put it bluntly, so many colleges and universities had placed great importance on this, but in the end, this person had made an exception and lost his invitation letter …
If it was lost, then so be it. Teng Luchen actually wanted him to personally go and get it.
Jing Heqiu could not hold it in any longer.
He was the dean of the Nine Heavens Essence Seeking Yard …
His position was comparable to that of the deputy leader of the 100 Schools Alliance, and was even more powerful than the headmasters of cultivation high schools. When all was said and done, he was also one of Odd Zhuo's immediate superiors.
In the end, he was sent to invite a Foundation Establishment student.
What was more, it wasn't like he was completely unaware of this "mascot" from No. 60 High School with the surname Wang.
He was just a person who had relied on luck to get to the champion position in a few competitions. Why was Elder Teng so concerned about him?
Logically speaking, Jing Heqiu's heart was crumbling a little. If it wasn't for Teng Luchen's unyielding attitude and his insistence that he personally invite Wang Ling, he would have been extremely unwilling.
But now, he really had no other choice.
After all, Elder Teng had concealed his identity in the Vermilion Bird Sect for many years and had already found many students.
Jing Heqiu could only think that perhaps his eyes were not good enough to see the mascot's excellence.
…
He didn't know if it was because they had to make time to prepare for the competition, or if it was because Teacher Pan was in a particularly good mood, but Grade One, Class Three's homework today was pitifully small, and Wang Ling finished it all at school.
Now that he was home, he started to feel empty, which he hadn't felt in a long time.
Was this what it felt like to not do homework for a day? Sure enough, he was still a child who loved to learn.
With nothing to do, Wang Ling naturally could only scroll through his phone, Weibo, TikTok, and various other public platforms to kill time.
At first glance, Wang Ling saw the trending news that the system had recommended: Rock singer Mr Wang Banbi is about to hold a concert.
At that moment, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately knew that something had happened to the entertainment industry again...
He didn't know if it was because the entrance to the core of the earth had been opened, but Wang Ling realized that buildings seemed to be collapsing everywhere in the entertainment industry this year, and every now and then there would be a major earthquake.
Wang Ling felt that this was a kind of backlash from the entertainment industry. In the end, it was because people had been too lenient with their standards for celebrities and idols in the past. Now that Huaxiu nation was gradually growing stronger and the country was prosperous and its people were at peace, the people were beginning to have rich thinking skills.
At the very least, she would no longer be immersed in the world of an idol alone. She would no longer associate herself with a celebrity idol.
Therefore, the standards for these artists and idols were raised.
In addition, these celebrity idols nowadays especially liked to create public personas for themselves. In the past, there were scholars, and now there were immortals and so on … the more extreme a public persona was, the more complete the collapse would be.
Thus, it was better not to randomly create public personas, because if one wasn't careful, things would often go awry. Wang Ling felt that he could be used as a model case study today.
If he had always insisted on keeping his scores low, there wouldn't have been so many problems this time. But he had fallen for Wang Ying's nonsense before the monthly test this time …
But Wang Ling himself couldn't figure it out. He had only scored a little higher than usual, so how had he risen to first place in the whole grade?! This was too outrageous!
While he was feeling gloomy, Odd Zhuo suddenly sent him a text message about the plan for the core of the earth.
Because Odd Zhuo had no right to make decisions on this matter, if Wang Ling hadn't asked him to help investigate, Odd Zhuo probably wouldn't have known about this plan at all.
Thus, the core of the earth competition this time had been kept a secret. The higher-ups hadn't planned to announce it to the public at this stage, so there wasn't any news about it online at the moment.
"Shifu, I've asked around a lot, and finally found out what's going on. This time, the core of the earth is actually a competition for the division of resources between various countries.
"But considering that if the various countries send their Almighties to fight it out, it might be a devastating blow to the core of the earth.
"So after a joint discussion, we came up with a plan to select elite high school students as representatives and send them to the core of the earth for the competition.
"The final winner of the competition will have the right to divide resources into a limited area, as well as ten percent more land than the other cultivation countries!"
After reading Odd Zhuo's message, Wang Ling nodded thoughtfully. So this was the plan …
Indeed, although True Immortals weren't much in Wang Ling's eyes, if these True Immortals really fought, they could destroy several large cities.
The resources in the core of the earth were precious to begin with. If these Almighties really went to the core of the earth to fight it out, in the end, there might not be any resources left.
So it was indeed safest to send high school students whose average realm was between the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.
They were just high school students, after all; they weren't that destructive.
At this thought, Wang Ling felt even more ashamed in his heart. Then all the more he couldn't send him!
What if he directly detonated a nuclear bomb in the core of the earth???
The reason why the Almighties weren't allowed to compete was to protect the core of the earth.
In the end, if Odd Zhuo was sent there … it would be no different from installing a nuclear bomb directly at home!
Now that he knew the whole story, Wang Ling's heart was on the verge of collapse.
He had a bad feeling about this.
Although the probability of him being selected as a member of the seven-member team was very low, he still felt like he was being watched.
Just then, Wang Ling, who was sitting at his desk, suddenly looked out the window.
It wasn't just Wang Ling; even Loopy Toad sensed a powerful aura suddenly appear at the entrance of the Wang family's small villa.
"Peak Level Eight True Immortal." Loopy Toad shook its fur and looked out the window calmly as it immediately made an accurate judgment on the realm of the newcomer.
Earth had already upgraded, which meant that the overall realm of human cultivators would take a big leap forward in the future and be on par with that of the Domain of the Gods.
But at the end of the day, there were still very few human cultivators who could reach peak Level Eight True Immortal.
So who was this man, and why had he suddenly appeared at their doorstep?
