Chapter 92 - 90: Sensation

Jiang Ye naturally wasn’t aware of the situation on Chen Zilu’s side.

He spent the entire night in the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder.

The next morning, Jiang Ye sat in Zhang Jianwu’s car and left Cyan Yang City.

On the road.

The car’s display screen suddenly broadcasted a piece of An City’s morning news:

"Good news! Our high school senior, Jiang Ye, performed exceptionally well in this preparatory star profession assessment..."

Upon hearing this news.

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ye’s eyes: "So fast?"

The assessment just ended yesterday.

And today it’s on the news!

This is even on the car news; it’s probably already being broadcasted online and on TV.

Beside him, Zhang Jianwu chuckled: "You’re a level two preparatory star professioner, something An City hasn’t seen in many years."

"An City?" Jiang Ye was slightly surprised.

The other party mentioned An City, not An City No.3 High School.

He was the first in An City in years!

Upon this thought, a glimmer of expectation appeared in Jiang Ye’s eyes: "Will there be a reward?"

"You rascal."

Zhang Jianwu jokingly scolded and then nodded: "Don’t worry, the school and the city won’t shortchange you."

"This time, you’re not only bringing honor to the school, but to the entire An City as well."

He sighed: "An City’s education level has always lagged behind neighboring cities."

"This time, producing a level two preparatory star professioner, gosh, the schools around are probably having their jaws drop."

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but be extremely surprised to hear this.

He hadn’t expected his star profession assessment to have such a significant impact?

"By the way."

"In the coming days, many martial arts universities might extend an olive branch to you."

Zhang Jianwu said: "Don’t rush to respond, report to me first when the time comes."

"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded.

Zhang Jianwu glanced at the young man beside him and didn’t mention what happened yesterday.

After all, Penglai University’s attitude is still unknown as they haven’t responded yet.

...

Cyan Yang City, Shadow Hunting Bureau.

Security Room.

Jiang Dahai returned to the room during his shift, and his phone suddenly flashed a few news articles.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Dahai, who had been standing guard all night, wasn’t in the mood to read the news, but as he was about to swipe it away, he suddenly paused.

"Jiang Ye?"

"Is it that news about Ye?"

Jiang Dahai quickly clicked on the news to take a look.

The next second, an expression of excitement appeared on his face: "Hahaha, it’s really my son!"

"What’s up, Old Jiang?"

Just then, a middle-aged man with stubble wearing a security uniform came over.

"Old Xia." Jiang Dahai turned his head and said with a smile: "You probably don’t know yet, my son is now a student of the key class."

Old Xia was his colleague at the An City Shadow Hunting Bureau.

This business trip brought the two of them together.

"Key class?" Old Xia replied with a disdainful look: "Why are you bragging to me? It’s not like I don’t know, your son has Original Talent."

"Old Xia, you’re being narrow-minded."

Jiang Dahai shook his head: "Who said Original Talent can’t get into the key class?"

Old Xia scoffed: "That would take a true genius, is your son a genius?"

"Hey." Jiang Dahai grinned: "My son really is a genius!"

"Did you see the news? My son made the headlines!"

"Jiang Ye, my son!" said Jiang Dahai proudly as he opened his phone.

"Just a marketing ploy?"

Old Xia, seeing the news, looked incredulous and took the phone.

The next moment, his pupils widened with shock.

"An City’s official account?"

"Level two preparatory star professioner? Once-in-a-decade in An City? Extraordinary genius?"

"What the hell, how could you have such an amazing son!"

Old Xia clutched the phone, looking utterly shocked.

...

At the same time.

Not just in An City, but throughout West Mountain Province, several news stories became hot topics.

"High school student from An City becomes a level two preparatory star positioner!"

"Shocking! Once-in-a-decade prodigy astonishes An City No.3 High School!"

"An City No.3 High School, a prestigious school with a long history and strong faculty, welcomes your application!"

...

The news had a lot of exaggeration.

But the gold content of a level two preparatory star positioner is undeniable.

Each year, only dozens of preparatory star positioners emerge from West Mountain Province.

Level two? Even rarer!

Jiang Ye’s appearance put both An City and An City No.3 High School in the spotlight.

...

Jiang Ye was unaware of all this for the time being.

After a few hours of traveling, he finally returned to An City.

An City No.3 High School.

When Jiang Ye returned to the classroom of Senior Class 1.

In an instant

almost everyone in the classroom simultaneously stopped their cultivation.

All eyes turned towards Jiang Ye.

The large classroom suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The next second, the room erupted with cheers and excitement.

"Jiang Ye is back!"

"Level two preparatory star professioner, extraordinary genius?"

"Is it really him? Could it be someone with the same name?"

"Jiang Ye was only on leave for a few days, who else could it be?"

"Amazing!!"

"Jiang Ye, you’re so handsome!"

The entire class of over a hundred students eagerly watched Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye had never experienced such a situation, but with his Martial Arts Will firmly grounded, his face remained calm as he casually walked over to his seat.

"Even his walk is handsome!"

Some girls were smitten, staring intently at him.

"..."

A dark line appeared on Jiang Ye’s face; wasn’t this an exaggeration!

At this moment, he realized what it meant for strength to command respect.

He had always had this face; the only difference was his status as a preparatory star professioner.

With this status, his every move was full of charisma.

After being famous, great scholars would expound on my philosophy.

"Brother Jiang!"

Wang Ziang walked over, looking amazed: "I knew it, you’re truly a dragon!"

Zhao Qingli, with her snow-white legs, elegantly approached Jiang Ye.

"Jiang Ye, congratulations."

Zhao Qingli smiled: "This time, you’ve really become famous."

Jiang Ye chuckled: "I still owe it to the class monitor and Brother Wang. Without your care, I wouldn’t be here today."

"Hahaha." Wang Ziang laughed: "You’re still as good with words as ever."

Zhao Qingli curiously asked: "I heard even Lin Yushu didn’t make it this time, how did you do it?"

"Well..." Jiang Ye scratched his head: "Maybe I was just lucky."

"Bullshit luck!"

Wang Ziang jokingly scolded: "You rascal, addicted to pretending? Are you planning to jump straight to first place in the next monthly exam?"

Zhao Qingli also chimed in unexpectedly: "Yeah, maybe you’ll surpass me next time?"

Jiang Ye shook his head: "I’d love to surpass the class monitor, but I’m still far from it."

"You really want to surpass me?" Zhao Qingli glared at him playfully.

...

Penglai University.

The core campus consists of anti-gravity floating buildings.

Each building is made from starry sky alloy, floating in mid-air, full of technological flair.

Inside one platinum-colored building.

A group of men and women in white robes sat in front of a conference table.

"The results of this year’s preparatory star profession assessments in various provinces and cities have come in."

"Those high school students at level three are the ones we’re targeting for recruitment into Penglai University," the silver-haired elderly man sitting at the head of the table said quietly:

"Level three, 232 people."

"Level four, 232 people." [Note: Original text should likely be "Level three" based on context]

"Quickly make arrangements, seize those in level four and five if possible."

"But those 232 level three preparatory star positioners are our primary targets."

Everyone acknowledged his directions.

At this, a red-haired elder at the conference table suddenly raised his hand and said, "Elder Bai, I have a special case to discuss."
