Ding!
"Oh, a text from Zhou Yuncan."
Su Yue took out his phone:
[Class Rep, can you come to the pet hospital? I canāt leave because Iām taking care of Oyster Sauce, but I found that paper you might want to reference.]
Su Yue felt warm inside as he read the text.
This guy really is considerate.
Come to think of it, he had just woken up and hadnāt had the chance to check on Oyster Sauce. The dog played a key role when dealing with Spice Pepper.
Not long after, Su Yue arrived at the pet hospital.
No wonder itās known as a hero among dogs. Oyster Sauce had a whole room to itself, with a dedicated caregiver.
Woof!
Seeing Su Yue arrive, Oyster Sauce barked excitedly at first, but then noticed Su Yueās hands were in his pockets and showed a disappointed expression, as if to say, "Friend, you came to visit a patient empty-handed?"
Su Yue awkwardly scratched his head.
Sure enough, the room was filled with all kinds of pet snacks and flowers.
Standing there empty-handed, he did feel quite awkward.
"Oyster Sauce, the class rep just woke up like you did, show some enthusiasm!"
Zhou Yuncan said, half annoyed, half amused.
A dog being this smart isnāt necessarily a good thing; it was actually throwing a tantrum.
"Howās Oyster Sauce doing?"
Su Yue asked with genuine concern.
A mighty military dog, with a cone-like contraption around its head, looking rather comical, but Su Yue didnāt dare laugh, for fear of being bitten.
Woof!
Oyster Sauce glared at Su Yue, seemingly saying, "Itās your kick that did this, and you have the nerve to ask?"
"There are fractures in the skull, but itās out of danger now.
"Class Rep, Iām not kidding, your kick power... I mean, your leg strength is too much. If it were an ordinary dog, it would have knocked its brains out."
Zhou Yuncan patted Oyster Sauce with concern.
"The situation was urgent back then, we really have Oyster Sauce to thank, or else we would all have been goners.
"Oyster Sauce, youāre amazing, truly the king of dogs."
Su Yue patted the dogās head.
Woo woo!
Oyster Sauce whimpered twice, its dog face still showing pride: "Iām so excellent, whatās there not to be proud of? I was destined to be the king of dogs."
"Class Rep, hereās that book I mentioned, take a look when you have time.
"But honestly, are you really going for a third bone cleanse?"
Zhou Yuncan asked worriedly.
He was currently working on achieving a golden bone statue, fully aware of how difficult bone cleansing could be, like carrying hundreds of pounds uphill.
What Su Yue faced was almost like climbing to heaven.
"Iāll look into it first; I canāt say for sure. A third cleanse is very risky. If I fail after four years in college and everyone else graduates with honors, Iād die of shame."
The book seemed quite old, and the pages were yellowed.
"Hmm, if it truly seems hopeless, itās better to cut losses early. But I still wish you success.
"After tomorrowās entrance exams, our classmates will be heading in different directions. Who knows when or if weāll meet again, but Iāll definitely miss everyone."
Zhou Yuncanās eyes looked a bit lost.
"Iāll miss you all too. Letās work hard together in the future."
Su Yue patted Zhou Yuncan on the shoulder.
"By the way, Class Rep, which Martial Academy are you planning to apply to? Other than lacking remote abilities, you donāt seem to have any weaknesses. You could go to any academy."
Zhou Yuncan asked.
Applying for Martial Academies often depends on personal talents.
For example, Nanwu had the best speed talents teachers.
Dongwu excelled in offensive capabilities.
Beiw would also excel in offense, but speed was also a strength.
And Xiw had a notable defense faculty in the Divine Land.
As for Warring States Military Academy, it didnāt have resident teachers, the teaching staff rotated, so it was diversified. However, its martial tactics were all quite robust, best suited for battlefields.
Of course.
These are merely analyses, not absolute truths.
Even though Nanwu specialized in speed, its other faculties also surpassed A-list academies.
The strengths of various academies are deduced by the Martial Arts Association based on graduatesā skills.
Some strengths of martial academies arenāt static either.
For example, Xiw was competing in speed with Nanwu over a decade ago, but with an excellent Grandmaster securing the place, it shone in defense overnight.
Yet students, no matter which one they choose, certainly wonāt regret joining any of the four big Martial Arts Academies.
"I... Iām planning to go to Xiw. What about you? Going to Nanwu?"
Su Yue asked.
Zhou Yuncan, training in speed, would most likely go to Nanwu.
"Yes, Iām going to Nanwu!
"I thought youād go to Beiw since your sister is there, but youāre going to Xiw.
"We all thought Liao Ping would go to Xiw, but turns out, both he and Liao Ji chose Beiw."
Zhou Yuncan chuckled.
Choosing an academy really couldnāt be decided with conventional thinking.
So whimsical.
Su Yue going to Xiw.
Truly whimsical.
...
Ding!
[Hurry to the hotel and give me an explanation!]
His phone buzzed. It was Xu Baiyan.
For some reason, his heart skipped a beat.
Explanation?
Could it be that my plan to encourage Yang Lezhi to chase her has been exposed?
Is she going to hit me again?
Iām not afraid of you.
Iāve now mastered the Little Lingbo Step and can just escape to the Admiralās Mansion. I doubt even the Admiral could stop you.
Iām not the same fool I used to be.
"Class Rep, do you have something to do? If so, just go ahead!"
Zhou Yuncan quickly said.
"Alright, Iāll head out first.
"Oyster Sauce, get well soon. Iāll bring you some treats next time. Donāt mess with the other dogs here, especially the females."
Su Yue advised before leaving.
Oyster Sauce looked at him with disdain, clearly expressing: "Iām not interested in these commoners here."
