"Professor Xie, why are you here? If you have anything to say, just say it in the spiritual crane messenger! "
Li Yao was a little surprised. Deep Sea University was thousands of miles away from Floating Spear City. It was truly unexpected that Xie Tingxian would personally drive a flying shuttle here at lightning speed.
Xie Tingxian laughed bitterly. "How can a spiritual crane messenger express my apologies? Student Li Yao, you've really given me a big slap in the face this time! "
Li Yao hurriedly said, "Professor Xie, I didn't mean that. I still respect you very much, really!"
To Li Yao, Xie Tingxian was clearly different from the likes of Zhao Shude.
Although Xie Tingxian had rejected him, there was a reason behind it. Besides, the person in charge of Deep Sea University's Refining Department was Dean Chu Xiuhong. There were many things that a professor like Xie Tingxian could not decide.
Xie Tingxian had once said that he would personally come over to help him recover. Although he had yet to put it into practice, Xie Tingxian was a busy and experienced specialist. His concern had already moved Li Yao greatly.
Xie Tingxian spoke very frankly.
"I know that Deep Sea University has made a mistake in this matter. Dean Chu is a person who is infatuated with technology. She is completely ignorant of the ways of the world. Her fiery temper is also well-known in the world of cultivators. In addition, she regards the honor of Deep Sea University's Refining Department as more important than anything else. That day, she thought that you were here to get in through the back door and rely on your connections, so her tone was a little bad."
"Right now, she is also reflecting on herself and feels that she was too arbitrary. She should not have said those words to you before the College Entrance Exam. This time, I have also been entrusted by her to formally invite Student Li Yao to join Deep Sea University's Refining Department!"
Li Yao's eyes lit up, but they were extinguished in the blink of an eye.
Xie Tingxian continued, "I know that you are angry in your heart. This can only be blamed on me and Dean Chu for being as blind as a bat. You can't blame anyone else. Therefore, even if you don't choose Deep Sea University, I can still understand and approve of it. However —"
After pausing for a moment, Xie Tingxian's voice trembled a bit. He said very sincerely, "Student Li Yao, now is not the time to let your emotions affect your decisions. What we are discussing right now is your dream! I know that your dream is to become a great refiner, and our Deep Sea University has the Federation's strongest refiner major. It is known as the 'Holy Land of Refiners'! "
"Only by choosing Deep Sea University can you realize your dream!"
"We can understand if you want to blame me or Principal Chu, but don't joke about your dreams. You will only hurt yourself!"
"As for the conditions for joining Deep Sea University, you don't have to worry at all. Not only will you be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees, you will also receive a high scholarship. Furthermore, we will treat you as a seeded contestant and have the most elite team to nurture you. We guarantee that you will become a registered refiner within three years. Your future will be glorious!"
"You should have heard of the name 'Supernova Jiang Sheng', right? He is the strongest newcomer who has risen in the refiner circle in the past ten years. He has become an associate professor of Deep Sea University's Refiner Department at the age of thirty. He is known as the leading figure in the refiner circle in fifty years — he was nurtured by me and Principal Chu! "
"As long as you join Deep Sea University's Refiner Department, I guarantee that you will enjoy the same treatment as Jiang Sheng did in the past. After a few years, you will be the second 'Supernova'!"
After saying this, Xie Tingxian's gaze swept across the entire audience like a tiger watching its prey. He raised his voice and said, "Everyone here may be able to come up with better material conditions than me, but when it comes to the refiner major, I'm afraid that there isn't a single university that has the qualifications to be mentioned in the same breath as our Deep Sea University, right?"
Many of the recruiters looked at each other in dismay. They were speechless.
This was a louse on a bald head — it was obvious. No matter how glib their tongues were, they wouldn't dare to shamelessly say that their own university had a stronger refiner major.
Even the First Military Academy of the Federation's Refiner Department, which was ranked second in strength, had an enormous gap with Deep Sea University's Refiner Department. It was like comparing the strength of a mouse to an elephant. They were not on the same level at all.
It's over. It's over. It seems that this genius will be snatched away by Deep Sea University!
Sure enough, Li Yao's gaze gradually became incomparably firm. It was like a sharp steel blade that could cut through everything.
Li Yao swept his gaze around. He deeply bowed to everyone and solemnly said, "I'm sorry to have wasted so much of everyone's time. Everyone's university is one of the top universities in the Federation. The preferential conditions you've proposed are also very attractive. However, I have already thought about which university I want to apply to."
"It's over!"
A few of the recruiters sighed and wilted.
"I have already made up my mind. In order to not waste the time of Professor Xie and everyone's time, I will simply go online and fill in my application now!"
Li Yao turned on his mini crystal processor and even turned on the spectator mode.
A hologram appeared in midair. It was overflowing with light and color. Every word could be clearly seen.
According to the usual practice, from the moment the college entrance exam results were released, the examinees had a total of fifteen days to choose a university and fill in their application through the Spiritual Nexus.
The average person would carefully analyze and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each university. Not only would they have to consider their interest and employment rate, but they would also have to consider whether or not their scores were enough to meet the cut-off line.
Therefore, the majority of people would only fill in their application in the last few days. Once they filled in their application, they could no longer change it.
A scene slowly appeared on the hologram: In a turbulent river, countless ugly gray carps were struggling to be the first to swim. Among them, a gray carp suddenly jumped up and crossed the imposing dragon gate. Suddenly, it was overflowing with light and color as it transformed into a golden dragon. It soared into the sky and rushed straight to the nine heavens!
The carp leaped over the dragon gate and decided the universe with a single examination!
This was the activation screen of the college entrance exam application system.
The names of each university rolled down from the top of the hologram like a rainstorm. Especially the names of the Nine Elite Universities. All of them were sparkling and shining. The octagonal rays hung down and dazzled the world.
"Ta Ta Ta Ta!"
Li Yao lightly tapped his student number on the virtual keyboard. Immediately, his results popped up.
There was also a long string of text that carried out a detailed analysis of his results. Furthermore, it recommended over a dozen of the Federation's top majors to him.
This was the system's built-in intelligent analysis function. Li Yao didn't even look at it. He directly turned it off and entered the automatic selection interface.
His gaze flitted past the names of each university and finally stopped at "Deep Sea University".
Li Yao stared motionlessly for a long time.
At this time, he heard the sound of the wind.
No, it wasn't the sound of the wind. It was the sound of a raging flame. It was the sound of a small sun tearing through the darkness and slowly rising.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and raised his head to look. At some unknown time, a blazing Scarlet Flame Flying Shuttle had appeared in the sky. Ding Ling Dong was sitting on the hatch with her two long legs propped up. She stared at him with an uneasy expression.
Li Yao smiled, revealing his sharp canine teeth. He hooked his finger at Ding Ling Dong and signaled, "Come down!"
Ding Ling Dong glared at him and signaled, "I'll come down. Who's afraid of who!"
With a light jump, she directly jumped down from a height of several dozen meters and landed in front of Li Yao.
Nose to nose, lips to lips. Their breaths and heartbeats collided with each other.
"Sister Ling Dong, I am very grateful for the trust that you and the Grand Desolate War Institution have placed in me. I will never forget how you have racked your brains to help me break through in the past month!" Li Yao said from the bottom of his heart.
"Cut the crap. I've said it before. As a friend, no matter what choice you make, I will support you. Deep Sea University is the holy land of refiners. It can definitely fulfill your dreams. So, hurry up and make your choice. Don't hesitate like a girl!" Ding Ling Dong gnashed her teeth.
Li Yao looked straight at her, "Sister Ling Dong, will you really support me in making all my choices, even if they are the craziest ones?"
"... Yes. However, if you choose Deep Sea University's Refining Department, you must do your best to become the most powerful refiner. This way, my one month of special training for you will not be in vain! Remember, you must be the most powerful. Even the second most powerful one is not enough. If you are just a little bit more, I will blow your head off! "Ding Ling Dong said seriously, pausing after every word.
Li Yao smiled from the bottom of his heart. His dark face curved into a crescent-like white teeth. Then, he made an action that no one present expected.
He suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ding Ling Dong!
Everyone was immediately dumbfounded!
Ding Ling Dong could be considered as an exotic flower among the recruitment staff of the Nine Elite Universities. Many people knew of this violent woman with extraordinary strength. No one dared to rashly provoke her.
Who would have thought that Li Yao would actually be so daring to this extent!
"Too, too fierce. He deserves to be the College Entrance Examination's top scorer. What a god-like man!" Many people's eyes bulged out.
Ding Ling Dong opened her eyes wide. As a cultivator at the peak of the Refinement Stage, she clearly had more than ten thousand ways to avoid Li Yao's embrace. However, for some unknown reason, she stood there stupidly, motionless, and was firmly hugged by Li Yao.
An indescribable smell overflowed from Li Yao's body, causing Ding Ling Dong's nose to itch.
This faint smell of sweat was something that Ding Ling Dong would never emit no matter how much she sweated. It was a strange smell that she had never smelled in her more than twenty years of life.
Ding Ling Dong was somewhat at a loss. She was at a loss, a loss that she had never felt when facing a powerful demon beast.
"You stinking brat, what the hell are you doing? It's broad daylight right now. If you want to do something, why don't you do it at home at night!" Ding Ling Dong roared in the depths of her heart.
Li Yao only hugged her for half a second before letting go. He took a step back and earnestly said, "Sister Ling Dong, I've been an orphan since I was young. Besides my dead father, I don't have a second relative. However, I've decided now. From this moment on, I want to treat you as … my biological sister!"
"... Kiss your ass! Do you have to be so corny!?" Ding Ling Dong instantly had goosebumps all over her body.
"But —"
Li Yao's eyes surged with starlight. Each word weighed a thousand kilograms. "My dream is to become the most powerful refiner. Therefore, I can't apply for the Combat Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution. I'm really sorry!"
"It doesn't matter, I …" Ding Ling Dong's eyes evaded his gaze.
She didn't know why, but other than disappointment, a faint sense of loss floated in her heart.
Xie Tingxian felt as if he was relieved of a burden. He smiled and said, "Student Li Yao, you've made a very correct choice. In another 20-30 years, when you become the 'second supernova', when you look back, you absolutely won't regret the choice you made today!"
"For the sake of my dream, I have no regrets. However … second supernova?"
Li Yao smiled. He didn't say anything else. His hands moved, and he finished filling in his application in one go.
Accompanied by a clear and melodious "Ding Dong" sound, a row of clear words appeared above everyone's head. The three words in the center were particularly eye-catching.
"Refining Department!"
"Congratulations, Student Li Yao. Welcome to the Refiners' Holy …" Xie Tingxian's heart finally settled down as he beamed with joy.
"I'm sorry, Professor Xie. I'm really, really, really sorry." Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li Yao interrupted him with a face full of guilt.
Xie Tingxian blinked his eyes. For a moment, he didn't understand Li Yao's meaning.
At this time, he discovered that the silence around him was somewhat strange. Everyone's face revealed a horrified expression.
And above the three big words, "Refining Department", there was a row of small words that seemed to be wrong.
Xie Tingxian narrowed his eyes. Only then did he discover that the words that appeared on the hologram were —
"Grand Desolate War Institution, Refining Department!"
