Chapter 93 - 91: Emergency Assembly

"Old Zhu?"

The silver-haired elder, Elder Bai, looked at the other party and nodded, "Is there something on your mind? Speak freely."

The red-haired elder, named Zhu Honglie, held a rather high status within Penglai University.

As he spoke, everyone at the conference table turned their gaze towards him.

Zhu Honglie’s face was ruddy, and he chuckled, "It’s nothing major."

"I have an old friend from White Dragon University who introduced a special student to me," he said slowly.

"White Dragon University?"

The crowd showed expressions of interest.

Even Elder Bai at the head of the table seemed somewhat moved.

White Dragon University is one of the top ten elite schools, and it ranks quite high among them.

"However," Zhu Honglie continued, "the student is just a Second-Level Preparatory Star Professional."

"Second-Level?" The crowd was slightly taken aback.

Being only a Second-Level Preparatory Star Professional wouldn’t meet their standards.

It’s not that Penglai University looks down on Second-Level Preparatory Star Professionals.

But such students are mostly allocated to other schools within the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance.

Though there is competition among the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance, it is ultimately an alliance.

Penglai University gets the meat but must leave some broth for the other universities.

Elder Bai shook his head, "Second-Level isn’t enough; let’s wait for the college entrance exams."

This meeting was to discuss advanced signing.

But a Second-Level isn’t qualified enough.

"Elder Bai, I haven’t finished," the red-haired elder shook his head and smiled, "This student is of Original Talent."

"And according to my old friend, his improvement speed is quite remarkable."

"In one year, he increased by nearly 500 points," Zhu Honglie said.

The crowd showed surprised expressions.

points in one year?

Even for a Newborn Talent, achieving this is quite rare.

Let alone for Lower Original Talent.

Elder Bai’s face finally showed a wave of interest, and he asked, "Old Zhu, do you have his information?"

Zhu Honglie nodded and smiled, "My old friend collected it."

With that, he opened his smart watch.

Beep!

A three-dimensional projection appeared on the table.

The projected image revealed a secret document.

Elder Bai quickly glanced over it.

"In just over a year, from 206 points to 690 points?"

"Original Talent, from a low-income family?"

Quickly grasping the key information.

After a moment.

"Advance signing can be done, decide on a C-Level contract," Elder Bai lifted his head and said.

"C-Level?" Zhu Honglie nodded slightly upon hearing this.

After all, it’s merely Original Talent.

Moreover, the recent monthly test scores fall short of Penglai University’s standard.

Offering this contract early shows considerable sincerity.

Elder Bai continued, "If his college entrance exam scores meet the standards, it’s possible to upgrade the contract level. You all, arrange it swiftly."

"Yes."

Everyone at the table agreed promptly.

...

Jiang Ye was naturally unaware of the developments at Penglai University.

For now, his life had calmed down once more.

Back to cultivation.

"Eight Thunder Sounds Fist!"

Jiang Ye stepped into a horse stance, swinging his fists, his breath seemingly alive, flowing through his body’s meridians.

As his breath surged, his entire body emitted a faint thunderous sound.

As time passed, his flow of breath became more and more transparent.

At the front of the classroom.

Martial Arts teacher of Senior Class 1, Cao Feng, swept his gaze across the students, finally landing on Jiang Ye.

"Hmm?"

Looking at Jiang Ye, a hint of surprise flashed in Cao Feng’s eyes, "This kid’s Eight Thunder Sounds Fist has already achieved Great Success?"

From what he knew, Jiang Ye received this cultivation technique during the summer vacation of his second year.

It’s only been a little over six months.

Already achieved Great Success?

This was a Middle-Level Yellow Tier Art Technique!

"Haha." Cao Feng suddenly shook his head and laughed.

"Seems I really underestimated him back then."

"Had this kid chosen the Lower Yellow Tier Body Refining Technique, this talent might have truly been wasted," he thought to himself.

Just as Cao Feng was feeling sentimental.

Jiang Ye gradually came to a stop with his cultivation.

He opened his eyes, a trace of indistinct sharpness flashed within them.

Eight Thunder Sounds Fist: Great Success (1% → 2%)

Visible daily progress was Jiang Ye’s greatest advantage.

"Aim for Perfection before the college entrance exams." Jiang Ye set his goal.

Eight Thunder Sounds Fist can harness Star Energy, unleashing immense power.

It’s his excellent means of enhancing combat capabilities.

Once past the First Break, he intended to head to the ’Star Sea Divine Path’ for a trial.

This trial focuses not on realm but on combat ability.

Enhancing combat strength becomes crucial.

After all, regardless of how many buffs one has, the fundamental attributes must keep up.

"Jiang Ye."

As Jiang Ye was planning, Cao Feng’s voice rang out, "I’ll demonstrate the Eight Thunder Sounds Fist once more, watch closely."

"Yes."

Jiang Ye immediately looked up.

The necessity of Martial Arts Class lies in the teacher’s guidance.

Only through correction and instruction can he achieve the most comprehensive improvement.

...

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was 4 PM.

A broadcast suddenly echoed across the campus and all classrooms.

"All staff and students, please gather immediately in Conference Hall 1."

"Repeating, all staff and students, please gather immediately in Conference Hall 1 for a full school assembly!"

The broadcast repeated three times.

Many in Senior Class 1 showed expressions of confusion.

It wasn’t even Monday, why suddenly gather urgently?

Some quick-witted students all turned their gaze towards Jiang Ye.

They speculated that this full school assembly was likely related to Jiang Ye.

"Is it because of Jiang Ye?"

"It’s almost five; why a sudden urgent gathering now?"

"Is it necessary to rush like this?"

Despite the complaints, everyone quickly stood up and headed out.

Jiang Ye also walked out the door along with everyone.

At this moment, a boy with a pointed hairstyle approached, "Jiang Ye, I feel like you’ve changed from before."

Jiang Ye looked at him, "Changed how?"

"You seem more handsome than before," Li Zhichao said, looking at him.

"Hiss!"

Jiang Ye took a breath, a bit scared, "Buddy, maybe you should stop the meds for a while; if you keep this up, I’ll..."

"... "

Li Zhichao said speechlessly, "There’s nothing wrong with my sexual orientation! However, your demeanor has indeed changed a lot."

"I agree." Off to the side, Wang Ziang rubbed his chin and said, "You seem more mature than before."

"Indeed, you look better," snow-white legged Zhao Qingli chimed in.

Even the cold and proud class monitor beauty said so?

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but touch his chin.

"It should be because my fortune improved recently." Jiang Ye remembered he received a fortune-related buff after defeating the Shadow Race.

The boost in fortune also accompanied an increase in popularity.

It seemed some girls were infatuated with him not just because of his status.

Jiang Ye felt quite surprised and walked ahead with the three of them.

...

Conference Hall 1.

This was the largest venue in the school, capable of holding thousands of people.

Upon arriving here, Jiang Ye saw most people had already arrived, a sea of heads moving.

But when he looked at the platform, he was startled.

"No wonder the urgent gathering was called..." Jiang Ye looked at the stage, deeply shocked in his heart.
