After leaving the Martial Arts Academy, Lin Huang and Lin Xin stayed in the White Capital for another week. They visited a few of the most popular attractions leisurely and checked in at more than ten reputable restaurants and tiny restaurants before heading to their next stop.
In the month that followed, the siblings would stop and visit at times. They had never been so satisfied with their journey.
Lin Huang visited Yi Zheng and Yi Yeyu along the way, as well as his old friends such as Leng Yuexin and Li Lang.
When they arrived in Division 3, Lin Huang recalled that his senior brother, Liu Ming, was the deputy dean of the Martial Arts Academy. Moreover, Lin Xin wanted to see how the Martial Arts Academy in Division 3 looked like, so they went straight to the Martial Arts Academy.
Early in the morning, Liu Ming received the duo at a breakfast shop at the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy.
"Senior brother, it's been a while," Lin Huang waved and greeted Liu Ming who was sitting behind the floor-to-ceiling window as soon as he saw him at the entrance.
Among all the students that Mr. Fu had taught, Liu Ming was the closest to Lin Huang. Apart from the siblings and a few of his best friends, he was Lin Huang's best friend.
Liu Ming stood up while smiling and waved at Lin Huang. "Come in."
Liu Ming took a good look at Lin Huang after the siblings took their seats. "It's been a few years since we last met. Junior brother, you're getting better and better. You're getting more and more handsome."
As an imperial-level cultivator, it was only natural that he knew everything that had happened in the cultivation world. Apart from the year in the great world, Liu Ming roughly knew what Lin Huang had been through throughout the years because he had been paying attention to his junior brother.
"Senior brother, you've changed a lot too. Your Sword Dao has advanced to level-6 and you've lost a lot of weight. I'm sure you've been practicing your sword a lot. "Lin Huang teased him while smiling.
Liu Ming's combat strength was now imperial-level yellow gold-rank, and his Sword Dao had advanced to level-6. He was probably considered a powerhouse among imperial-levels.
"I've been practicing my sword a lot, but that's not why I've lost weight." Liu Ming shook his head while smiling. "I've only lost weight in the past month."
"I've been doing the academy's Reserve Enrollment for the past month. I've been so busy."
"Isn't it an easy job to enroll students in the Reserve?" Lin Huang was surprised. He had been a teacher at the Martial Hunter College before, so of course, he knew about the Reserve.
Under normal circumstances, Reserve Enrollment would be done half a year in advance to select the best students in the Reserve Enrollment. If one passed the assessment, it would be equivalent to obtaining admission into Martial Hunter College in advance. One would not even need to participate in the official examination in June. As long as one stayed in the Reserve Academy until graduation, one would be able to enter Martial Hunter College directly.
The reason why it was easy was because there were not many students who qualified for the Reserve Enrollment was Reserve Enrollment. In Division7, where Lin Huang was previously, there were less than 1,000 students who qualified for the Reserve Enrollment every year. There were more than 30 million Reserve Enrollment graduates in Division7 every year.
The reason why there were so few Reserve Enrollment was mainly because the academies had very high requirements for the Reserve Enrollment. The most basic requirement was to have an iron-level combat strength.
In other words, to be qualified, one had to have the ability to kill iron-level rank-1 monsters before the age of 16.
As the Reserve Enrollment only taught basic knowledge, there were almost no actual combat courses or formal combat skills, so there were very few students who could do this.
"It used to be easy, but I don't know what's going on this year. The number of Reserve Enrollment submitted by the various Reserve Enrollment has increased several times. Even some C-grade footholds have applied for Reserve Enrollment. "Liu Ming looked depressed.
"In the past, our academy applied for Reserve Enrollment every year about 3,000 people. This year, it's almost 13,000 people."
Students were not qualified to apply for this kind of reserve enrollment quota. Instead, the dean of each Reserve Academy would apply after investigating the student's situation.
In December of every year, the Martial Arts Academy would conduct a preliminary selection for all the students who applied. The passing rate of the preliminary selection would be recorded, and Reserve Enrollment Academies with too low passing rates would be investigated. Once they were found to have lied, the dean would be dismissed immediately. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no dean of a Reserve Enrollment Academy would lie about the enrollment.
"I don't know if it's because of the change in the energy concentration in the air, but there seems to be more geniuses this year." Liu Ming could not figure out what was going on.
Hearing this, Lin Huang understood. The gravel world's rules had become complete, making cultivation easier.
The more talented and potential a person was, the more they would feel the changes in the world.
Among the young people, there were actually many who were talented and had potential, and now their potential was being stimulated.
"These two months do seem to be a little unusual. Recently, the Internet has been abuzz, saying that the overall abilities of the monsters in the danger zones and forbidden lands of all levels have become stronger.
"I saw a few posts saying that someone found a few immortal-level monsters in the moderate danger zones, and there were even imperial-level monsters in the severe danger zones."
At this point, Liu Ming suddenly whispered.
"I have a friend who is a staff member of the Coalition government. When he was drinking with me a few days ago, he revealed that the Coalition government has been holding a meeting recently to discuss the reclassification of some of the danger zones."
Of course, Lin Huang knew that these changes were brought about by him.
The monsters becoming stronger was actually not bad news. Humans had also become stronger; it was just that many people did not realize it.
In the long run, this kind of change would only make humans in the gravel world stronger and stronger.
Compared to the Emperor's Heart's direct opening of the Virtual Door, the changes brought about by Lin Huang were undoubtedly many times milder.
After having breakfast with Liu Ming and chatting for a while, Liu Ming took the siblings to walk around the Martial Arts Academy for a while and was soon urged to leave by a communication device.
Lin Huang knew that he was busy and did not ask him to stay.
After Liu Ming left, the two of them walked around the Martial Arts Academy in Division 3 briefly before leaving.
Back at the hotel, Lin Huang turned on his Emperor's Heart Ring and began to check the major social media platforms.
For more than a month, he had not looked at the messages on social media platforms. At most, he would glance at the news before going to bed every day. This was because he felt that scrolling through social media platforms was a waste of time, and he often saw all kinds of arguments, some of which were not only meaningless but could even ruin his mood.
Lin Huang, who was traveling, simply blocked out these voices.
However, chatting with Liu Ming made him a little curious about what everyone thought about the changes in the gravel world.
After clicking on several social media platforms one after another and looking at some of the most popular posts, Lin Huang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
What made him most speechless was that there was a group of people who advocated that the end of the world was coming.
The monsters becoming stronger meant that the gravel world would come to an end. This was because these monsters would become stronger and eventually occupy the entire gravel world.
The point was that there were still many people who believed in this view.
There was even a large group of people who formed an online alliance called the Doomsday Party.
"If you have the time, can't you guys just cultivate?" After a brief look around, Lin Huang could not help but close all the social media pages.
"Fortunately, not everyone is so senseless. There are still many people in this world who are actively forging ahead and constantly becoming stronger! "
