Chapter 95: Chapter 93: Invitations from All Sides
This student-teacher meeting made Jiang Ye the center of attention.
Especially with the presence of the provincial capital’s second-in-command, Jiang Ye’s reputation skyrocketed at An City No.3 High School and even in the entire An City.
However, the Preparatory Star Professional examination was, in the end, targeted at a small group of people.
It was not highly recognized.
For those geniuses, only some would pay attention to the Star Professional examination.
After all, not every genius would choose the path of becoming a Star Professional.
Jiang Ye’s popularity quickly waned.
For Jiang Ye, he was not affected at all and was rather pleased with the outcome.
He understood deeply.
Applause and adoration would only lead one astray.
A moment of glory was nothing more than a decoration on his Martial Arts path; he must certainly not become obsessed with it.
"Persist, strive."
Jiang Ye immersed himself in cultivation.
Relentlessly honing his Martial Arts Will and Martial Arts Cultivation.
"Getting into Penglai University is just my basic goal."
"Only by continuously breaking through my own shackles can I climb to the pinnacle of Starry Sky Martial Arts and pursue the seemingly unattainable road of the Seventh Break."
"Even...to climb even higher!"
Jiang Ye had his own ambitions.
As times change, even the most outstanding genius can only thrive for a while; in the face of the torrent of the era, they will eventually be submerged.
Moreover, this world harbors the terrifying Shadow Disaster and omnipresent dangers.
Only with extreme strength can he feel at peace.
...
Day after day of cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On this day, Jiang Ye sat cross-legged at home.
"Hoo~"
He exhaled deeply, ending an afternoon of cultivation.
Looking at the panel.
[Cultivation Technique]
Eight Thunder Sounds Fist: Great Success (4%)
Star Martial Advancement Technique: Entry (50%)
"After reaching 50% in the Advancement Technique," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "progress becomes increasingly slow."
"It seems to achieve rapid progress, I still need money."
The threshold of the First Break is breaking through Minor Success in the Advancement Technique.
Only by achieving this goal quickly could he sprint for higher scores.
As Jiang Ye was thinking of this.
Buzz buzz!
The bracelet vibrated several times.
Jiang Ye opened the bracelet.
"Beep~" A projection appeared.
[Your bank account xxxx.....5679 has received 100,000 Federation Coins]
[Your bank account xxxx.....5679 has received 200,000 Federation Coins]
Previously.
Tang Huochan had given him a bank card for convenient transfer and transaction.
"Is it the monthly allowance for the Preparatory Star Professional, and the personal transfer from City Lord Song?"
Jiang Ye looked surprised: "They’ve been credited together."
Quickly, he appeared enlightened: "Apparently, it all came through the school’s channels."
Through school turnover, it just took a little time.
"Three hundred thousand." Jiang Ye felt deeply satisfied.
This money is enough to make his strength soar in the coming period.
"Buzz buzz!"
At this moment, the bracelet vibrated again.
Jiang Ye swiped through the projection, seeing a file of an invitation letter emerging.
[Extreme Sea Martial Arts University]
[Dear ’Jiang Ye’, you have met the advance contract signing standards of our school, and we now invite you to sign the ’B Level Contract’ with Extreme Sea University.]
[If interested, please reply within three days.]
[Contract content:...]
"Extreme Sea University?"
Jiang Ye looked at the file, a trace of a smile appearing on his face: "Finally, a message from the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance."
In these three days, many Martial Arts Universities have already sent requests for early signing.
But they were all ordinary Martial Arts Universities.
Extreme Sea University is the first from the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance to reach out.
"B Level Contract?" Although Jiang Ye had no intention to apply, he still briefly scanned it.
"Entering with an Upper Yellow Tier cultivation technique?"
"Annually receiving cultivation resources worth 500,000 Federation Coins, freely choosing Yellow Tier techniques..."
Jiang Ye nodded.
This B Level Contract of Extreme Sea University even surpasses the A Level Contract of ordinary universities.
Ordinary universities’ A Level Contracts, at most, offer 300,000 in complimentary cultivation resources annually.
This is the disparity among universities.
Jiang Ye immediately dialed Zhang Jianwu to report the news.
"Did the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance send you a message?"
Zhang Jianwu wasn’t surprised, saying with a smile, "Don’t bother, keep waiting."
"Director." Jiang Ye couldn’t help but say: "This is already the third day, with only one of the Twenty-Five Schools reaching out to me, could it be..."
Now, the heat of that matter had long subsided.
Logically, the efficiency of the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance should be faster than ordinary Martial Arts Universities.
But now? Only one university showed interest.
Jiang Ye couldn’t help but suspect, could it be that other schools in the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance didn’t value the Second Level Preparatory Star Profession?
"Don’t rush." Zhang Jianwu said leisurely, "Federation regulations mandate that the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance has a three-day waiting period for early signing."
"Gotta give those ordinary universities a chance." He chuckled.
"So that’s it." Jiang Ye understood.
As soon as the words were spoken.
Buzz buzz!
Buzz buzz!
Buzz buzz!
The bracelet then continually popped up several messages.
Jiang Ye hurriedly checked the bracelet.
[North Sea Martial Arts University sent an invitation...]
[Jiangnan Martial Arts University sent an invitation...]
[West Mountain Martial Arts University sent an invitation...]
[....]
Seeing this, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but smile.
They are all invitations from the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance!
"Feeling satisfied." Jiang Ye felt fulfilled.
These invitations were not just cold documents; they were recognition of his worth.
He sat back in place, cultivating while waiting.
Hours passed.
"The Twenty-Five Schools Alliance, twenty schools have already sent invitations."
Jiang Ye looked at the projection: "One of them even offered A Level Contract benefits!"
But this school is the lowest-ranked in the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance.
Most other schools only provided B Level Contracts.
"However, Penglai University still hasn’t sent an invitation." Jiang Ye closed his eyes again, staying calm inside.
Not to mention Penglai University.
Even those somewhat inferior first-rate universities compared to Penglai University hadn’t sent any invitations.
Nonetheless, Jiang Ye was not anxious.
What’s meant to come will come.
If not, it’s no big deal; there’s still a chance with the college entrance examination.
Right at that moment.
"Buzz buzz!"
The bracelet vibrated again.
Jiang Ye opened the projection, and the next moment, his eyes brightened.
"It’s the invitation from Penglai University." Jiang Ye felt joy within.
He immediately opened the invitation.
[Penglai University]
[Student ’Jiang Ye’, you have met the advance contract signing standards of our school, and we now invite you to sign the ’C Level Contract’ with Penglai University.]
"C Level?"
Jiang Ye slightly furrowed his brow and continued reading.
"Annually receiving 800,000 in complimentary cultivation resources, post-admission choosing any three Lower Profound Tier techniques."
"Each year, two opportunities to enter ’Penglai Nine Refinements’."
"...If the college entrance examination score exceeds the contract standard, contract level can be upgraded."
Unexpectedly, the C Level Contract from Penglai University offered more benefits than Jiang Ye had imagined.
"No wonder it’s Penglai University."
Jiang Ye shook his head with emotion: "Even the C Level Contract notably surpasses the B Level Contract of Extreme Sea University."
Not to mention.
Just the annual 800,000.
This already exceeds the 500,000 from ’Extreme Sea University’.
However, he still felt a trace of disappointment inside.
C Level is the lowest among the contract offers received.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ye reported the news to Zhang Jianwu.
"Penglai University finally reached out?"
"C Level Contract? Can upgrade later?" Zhang Jianwu mused: "Although the C Level Contract is ranked lower than other schools, its other aspects are not lacking."
"Moreover, there is hope for upgrading when the college entrance exam comes."
Jiang Ye listened intently.
"However." Zhang Jianwu added: "Although it is an early signing, if your score in the college entrance exam fails to meet the minimum admission line, the contract will be voided."
"Choosing Penglai University equates to forsaking contracts with other universities."
"If you fail in the college entrance exam and wish to reconsider, those schools might not offer such high benefits again."
"In any case, the choice is yours."
Zhang Jianwu spoke solemnly: "Jiang Ye, how will you choose?"
