Cyan Yang City.
Among the towering buildings that reach the sky, there is a uniquely shaped octagonal structure.
Its body is jet black.
The top of this octagonal building is covered by a colorful dome. Under the sunlight, various hues shine, resembling a sea of stars.
This is the Star Sea Divine Path, the trial point of Cyan Yang City!
"Weâve arrived."
Zhang Jianwuâs car stops by the roadside.
After Jiang Ye gets out, he looks up at the strange octagonal building.
"Is this the entrance to the Star Sea Divine Path?" Jiang Ye murmurs to himself.
It bears no resemblance to the one in his dreams.
In his dreams, it was a magnificent golden palace.
But now, Cyan Yang Cityâs building is jet black, appearing more reserved.
"Jiang Ye."
Just as Jiang Ye is observing, Zhang Jianwu gets out of the car and pats him on the shoulder, "Good luck! All the best."
"Hmm!"
Jiang Ye turns back, smiling, "Director, wait for my good news."
"Alright! Iâll be waiting for you." Zhang Jianwu waves to him, "Go on."
Jiang Ye turns and strides toward the octagonal building.
Zhang Jianwu watches the young man leave and takes a deep breath.
"Little fellow, I hope you pass smoothly."
"Otherwise, Miss Chen..." Zhang Jianwu sighs softly.
Chen Zilu helped recommend Jiang Ye to Penglai University.
And Penglai University also sent a C-level contract.
But if the high school exam comes and Jiang Ye doesnât even reach the D level contract score line?
That would be embarrassing for Chen Zilu.
Precisely for this reason, he hasnât informed Chen Zilu about Jiang Yeâs coma these past few days.
If in the end, Jiang Ye really doesnât pass, at least that would serve as an excuse.
"No need to be too pessimistic," Zhang Jianwu silently thought, "Maybe this kid can really bring about a miracle?"
He gazes at the octagonal building, with anxiety in his eyes, yet also a glimmer of hope.
...
Inside the octagonal building.
After submitting his identity information at the entrance, Jiang Ye strides in, finding himself in an incredibly vast crystal hall.
He goes to the front desk and completes the check-in.
"Beep!"
"Identity information confirmed!"
"Certifier [Jiang Ye], your number is: 15, please wait patiently."
A mechanical voice accompanies these words.
Immediately, a line appears on the large screen hanging in front.
[Number 15 Certifier: Jiang Ye (First Break)]
Jiang Ye glances up and finds a few people ahead of him in the queue.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, he notices a familiar name in the queue.
[Number 14 Certifier: Su TongâEr (First Break)]
"Witch Tong?" Jiang Ye exclaims in surprise, looking at the name.
"Hey!"
"Who are you calling witch?"
A sweet voice suddenly rings out.
Soon after.
A pure and cute girl appears before Jiang Ye, dressed in a light purple long dress with white sheer stockings and small leather shoes.
"Is âwitchâ something you can call me?" Su TongâEr pokes Jiang Yeâs arm with her fair fingers.
Her adorable face shows a hint of displeasure.
Jiang Ye quietly steps aside.
He looks behind Su TongâEr.
Behind her is a gentle girl dressed as a bunny girl with black stockings, holding Su TongâErâs arm and looking shyly.
Su TongâEr seems to notice his gaze and generously introduces, "This is my friend, Yun QingâEr. Sheâs the first in Ning City Middle School."
"Ning City Middle School?" Jiang Yeâs heart skips a beat.
Ning City is a big city adjacent to Cyan Yang City.
Ning City Middle School is also a provincial key school, not inferior to Cyan Yang High School.
He looks at Yun QingâErâs head.
[Physique: Profound Body (Lower C-Level)]
[Talent: Tao Bone]
The top of Ning City Middle School being Tao Bone gifted is quite normal.
"Heâs called Jiang Ye," Su TongâEr introduces to her friend, "Heâs from An City, and during the Preparatory Star Profession test, he tied with me for first place."
"You... Hello," Yun QingâEr greets Jiang Ye shyly.
Jiang Ye nods slightly, but inside heâs increasingly cautious.
Su TongâEr has a strange habit of stepping on faces.
Anyone who can play with a witch like Su TongâEr must not be an ordinary person.
This Yun QingâEr canât be simple either.
"Jiang Ye," Su TongâEr says, looking at him, "Youâve just broken through to First Break, right? What brings you here for certification?"
"Just trying," Jiang Ye smiles broadly, "Iâm not confident."
"Not confident?"
Su TongâEr tilts her head, "Are you going to say itâs luck again when the time comes?"
"..."
Youâve already finished the lines, what do I say?
Jiang Ye clears his throat, "And you, are you also here for certification?"
"Yes," Su TongâEr clasps her hands behind her back, "Weâve been preparing all semester, raising our strength to peak level before daring to come."
Jiang Ye nods in understanding; no wonder.
With the high school exam coming up, theyâre certifying just in time.
No wonder itâs such a coincidence.
"I have some business, you all carry on chatting," Jiang Ye says with a smile.
After speaking, he steps aside to wait.
Su TongâEr watches him leave, then turns to the bunny girl-dressed girl behind her, smiling, "Isnât he handsome? Do you like him?"
Yun QingâEr shakes her head, timidly, "I only like Sister TongâEr."
"Ah!"
Su TongâEr sighs, a hint of helplessness flashing on her cute face.
"But I like handsome guys!"
"For example, that Jiang Ye just now..."
Su TongâEr shakes her head and sighs.
Yun QingâEr whispers, "Do you like him? Or do you want to step on his face?"
She raises her beautiful eyes, looking at Jiang Ye in the distance, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.
"From An City? A poor guy," Yun QingâEr thinks as she looks at Jiang Ye, "Would Sister TongâEr really like him? Impossible."
