55: Chapter 55 Special Admissions from Hundred Schools

"The monthly exam has ended, and this time's first place is... Chen Mo!"

Under the gazes of all the Students, which were filled with excitement and shock, Duan Fei's figure slowly appeared and announced this fact that was both possible yet unlikely.

"Chen Mo is freaking awesome!"

Bai Yuanyu, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately jumped up.

If Du Ruo and Wu Feng hadn't forcibly held him down, he probably would have leaped into the sky.

In fact, Du Ruo's face was also full of pleasant surprise, and even a hint of a smile flashed in Wu Feng's eyes.

"Perhaps this is what I dreamed of being like!"

Wu Feng thought secretly to himself. He took one last look at Bai Yuanyu, who was currently "acting crazy" while hugging Du Ruo, and silently opened the gate of the divine domain to leave.

"Eh, where's Wu Feng?"

After venting his excitement, Bai Yuanyu finally realized someone was missing from his side.

Actually, it wasn't just Wu Feng; many people had silently left the Public Divine Kingdom. However, some stayed behind, clearly waiting for Ye Kaige or Chen Mo to appear.

But the result was destined to disappoint these people.

"Damn, where did Du Ruo go now?"

Bai Yuanyu stood dazed in place. In the brief moment his mind had wandered, two living people had vanished.

...

"Du Ruo, this is your reward for this monthly exam."

Li Chengsheng looked at Du Ruo, whom he had directly teleported over, and handed him a divine art card.

Du Ruo bowed as he received it. As he expected, it was a Third-Tier Divine Art card.

"Ye Kaige!"

Li Chengsheng then looked at Ye Kaige, who had recovered but remained silent.

"This is yours."

Although the reward for second place wasn't bad, Ye Kaige couldn't help but clench his fist as he took it, glancing at Chen Mo behind him.

"Don't look at me. I don't have a True God for a father, so I definitely have to fight for the first-place reward."

With Chen Mo's personality, if there weren't substantial benefits, he might have actually gone easy.

Ever since transmigrating, he had set a policy for himself: develop low-key, avoid the spotlight as much as possible, and ideally never even leave the Main World until becoming a Supreme Being.

"Chen Mo, come forward!"

Li Chengsheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Chen Mo, who had a face full of anticipation.

"Do you know what the reward for first place in the monthly exam is?"

Chen Mo shook his head.

From what he knew, the rewards for the monthly exams weren't fixed.

Most were divine art cards, but sometimes rarer rewards appeared, such as...

"This time, it's three points of Ownerless Divinity. Here."

Li Chengsheng lightly raised his hand, and three points of brilliant golden light fell into Chen Mo's palm.

At this moment, even Du Ruo looked at him with a face full of envy.

With divine arts, more isn't necessarily better; being a jack of all trades but master of none is a major taboo in cultivation.

So, even though the Third-Tier Divine Art card he was rewarded with wasn't bad, Du Ruo was considering whether to use it himself or exchange it for other resources.

But Ownerless Divinity was different; no deity would ever think they had too much of that stuff.

However, compared to Chen Mo and Du Ruo, who came from "humble families," Ye Kaige was much more composed.

Ever since he was promoted to Demigod, he had never lacked Ownerless Divinity. If it weren't for the fact that Ownerless Divinity required time and effort to refine, he might have already pushed his Divinity to 30 or even 40 points.

"I was thinking about applying to the Blue Cave for some Ownerless Divinity as resource supply for my second transition, but I didn't expect the academy to give me three points first."

Looking at the three strands of Ownerless Divinity in his hand, Chen Mo couldn't help but think the academy was generous.

Although the price of a Third-Tier Divine Art card was over a million credit points, Ownerless Divinity was definitely superior in terms of rarity.

"The rewards are just these, but calling you here wasn't only to distribute rewards."

Li Chengsheng glanced at the three of them and then gave a meaningful look to Duan Fei, who had just rushed back to this floating island temple.

"Let your class teacher speak."

Hearing Li Chengsheng's words, Chen Mo and Du Ruo both looked puzzled, while only Ye Kaige, who had received some news from home in advance, had a flash of complexity in his eyes.

"It's like this: not long ago, the Federal Education Bureau issued a notice." Duan Fei walked up to the three of them, his expression rarely excited.

"You all know about Ownerless Planes, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both Chen Mo and Du Ruo's eyes lit up.

Ownerless Planes mainly referred to those indigenous planes that had been discovered by the Federation but had not yet been developed.

One could say that every Ownerless Plane meant unimaginable wealth, especially for the first entrants, who could often make a huge fortune from them.

"According to the notice, the Federation has put out dozens of Ownerless Planes at once. Every city and every deity High Academy can arrange for Students to enter them for trials. You should understand what this means."

Duan Fei's words were like a bolt of thunder exploding in Chen Mo's heart.

It wasn't just about the benefits of being among the first to enter the planes, but more about the true meaning behind this event.

"The Hundred Academies Special Recruitment Plan... so it's this year?" Chen Mo's mind shook violently.

The so-called Hundred Academies Special Recruitment was actually an expansion plan launched jointly by all the deity High Academies of the Federation, but it wasn't aimed at ordinary Students, but at true geniuses.

In Chen Mo's memory, this plan only lasted for less than a hundred years before it had to be stopped due to the massive consumption of resources, and those hundred years happened to be the most turbulent and glorious hundred years for the Federation.

The previous Wu Feng, and even the other six of the seven heroes of the immortal calamity, had all risen without exception by taking advantage of the momentum of this Hundred Academies Special Recruitment.

After his rebirth, Chen Mo had been thinking about this matter, but the information players could get in his past life was too little.

He didn't know the specific time of the plan and could only roughly calculate that it would be within these few years based on the timeline.

"I always thought it would be next year or the year after. After all, the College Entrance Examination is almost here and no news had leaked out. I didn't expect..."

Chen Mo couldn't help but feel secretly lucky; he had almost given up on it.

But as it turned out, there was still a seat for him on the first train of this golden age.

"This time, our Lanshi City has been grouped with three neighboring cities. A total of four deity academies will enter that small-scale plane together. As the most outstanding three from our academy..."

Duan Fei continued to explain, but the silent Ye Kaige suddenly interrupted at this moment.

"Sorry Teacher Duan, sorry Dean!"

Ye Kaige lowered his head deeply and spoke in a tone tinged with guilt, "I refuse to participate."
