61: Chapter 61 Federal Envoy, Guaranteed Admission to Top University

The gilded divine vessel passed through the gap in the defensive array and slowly came to a halt above the playground of Tianhai No. 1 High School.

The Federal law patterns on both sides of the vessel's hull lit up simultaneously, casting down a golden-white radiance that gradually suppressed the cheers filling the area.

The students, who had just been so rowdy they nearly tore the roof off the playground, now all looked up, not daring to speak out of turn.

The smile on Zhou Mingyuan's face faded slightly, his gaze landing on the solemn emblem at the prow of the vessel.

That was the emblem of a Special Envoy directly under the Federal Education Bureau, which only deities responsible for nurturing geniuses at the star-region level were qualified to display.

Deputy Director Xu Zhenhai, standing in front of the viewing platform, saw his expression change instantly; he hurriedly straightened his uniform and strode toward the center of the playground.

"The Federal Special Envoy has arrived. Everyone, silence!"

This command, transmitted throughout the school via the array, caused all the students to stand at attention immediately; even Zhao Yang snapped his mouth shut.

Wang Pingan stood on the awards podium, looking up at the divine vessel, his expression remaining calm.

He had just won the Seventeen Stars championship; the commendations from the Tianhai Star Education Bureau and the school were already significant enough, but the personal arrival of a Federal Special Envoy carried a completely different meaning.

It meant his combat achievements had already transcended Tianhai Star and had reached the desks of the star-region level nurturing system.

A golden staircase descended from the bottom of the divine vessel, and a middle-aged deity dressed in silver-white robes stepped out slowly.

There were no exaggerated movements in his step, yet with every stride he took, the spiritual energy above the playground vibrated in response.

The third-year students, who had only recently awakened their divine kingdoms, felt their chests tighten when faced with this divine pressure.

Wang Jincheng stood in the crowd, originally still immersed in the shock of Wang Pingan's victory, but now, covered by this pressure, he suddenly realized that a much larger world had opened its doors to Wang Pingan.

The Federal Special Envoy walked down the golden staircase, his gaze sweeping across the crowd before finally settling on Wang Pingan.

Zhou Mingyuan and Deputy Director Xu Zhenhai stepped forward simultaneously to salute.

"Tianhai No. 1 High School Principal Zhou Mingyuan, greetings to the Special Envoy."

"Tianhai Star Education Bureau Deputy Director Xu Zhenhai, greetings to the Special Envoy."

The Federal Special Envoy nodded and spoke.

"At ease. I have come to Tianhai Star today solely for Wang Pingan."

As these words fell, the hearts of all the students jumped.

Solely for Wang Pingan.

These five words carried too much weight.

Zhao Yang's eyes lit up, and just as he opened his mouth to shout, he was glared back into silence by Wang Qingyan.

The Federal Special Envoy walked to the front of the awards podium, flipped his palm, and a golden commendation scroll floated in mid-air.

As the commendation scroll unfurled, dense Federal law characters emerged.

"Wang Pingan."

Wang Pingan stepped forward and bowed with cupped hands.

"Student is here."

The Federal Special Envoy looked at him, his eyes filled with clear appreciation.

"In the Xuanyuan Star Region Seventeen Stars Nova Assessment, you competed as a student from Tianhai Star, topped the preliminary round by a landslide, broke through the three major systems of Mechanical, Insect-controlling, and Corpse-cultivation in the semi-finals, and defeated the demigod Xiao Xuan head-on while still at the Divine Being stage in the grand finals."

When he reached this point, the breathing of the students on the playground grew heavy.

When these achievements first occurred, they only felt their blood rush to their heads.

Now that they were being read aloud publicly by the Federal Special Envoy, every word scorched their spirits.

"The tactics of your Immortal Martial Legion are complete, the legion's execution is outstanding, and your subjects possess astonishing peak potential; this holds significant reference value for the nurturing paths of new divine kingdoms."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyuan clenched his hands unconsciously.

He had taught for many years, seen students win awards, and seen students admitted to star-region universities.

But never since the founding of Tianhai No. 1 High School had a student been publicly evaluated by a Federal Special Envoy with the phrase "significant reference value."

The Federal Special Envoy raised his hand, and the golden commendation scroll shone brightly.

"Following review by the Xuanyuan Star Region Education Bureau and registration with the Federal New God Nurturing Department, Wang Pingan is hereby awarded the Seventeen Stars Nova Assessment Special Merit Medal."

A golden light descended from the commendation scroll, and a heavy golden-white medal slowly appeared before Wang Pingan.

The front of the medal was engraved with Seventeen Stars, with a phantom of a divine kingdom in the center, and Wang Pingan's name was engraved on the back.

All the students in the school stared, eyes glazed over.

An ordinary honorary medal was already enough to make people envious, but a Special Merit Medal was one of the highest levels of commendation from the Federation for a student.

Such things could not be bought or traded; they could only be earned through hard-fought combat achievements.

The Federal Special Envoy personally handed the medal to Wang Pingan.

"Wang Pingan, this is the merit you fought for."

Wang Pingan accepted it with both hands.

"Many thanks for the Federation's nurturing."

The Federal Special Envoy nodded slightly.

"You are welcome. The Federation never treats those who can truly fight unfairly."

This sentence made the students on the playground turn red-eyed.

Truly able to fight.

Wang Pingan had arrived here relying on one tough battle after another.

From the school's weekly exams to inter-school exchanges, and then to the Seventeen-Star Joint Entrance Exam, he had not relied on a background to intimidate others, nor had he used his words to suppress them.

He used shields and blades, artillery fire, and legions, beating every doubter into silence, one by one.

The Federal Special Envoy put away the commendation scroll and took out a golden Source Power Card.

As soon as that card appeared, the fluctuations of Source Power on the awards podium noticeably thickened.

Deputy Director Xu Zhenhai glanced at it, his eyelids twitching violently.

Zhou Mingyuan also couldn't control his expression; his voice dropped a few decibels.

"This scale…"

The Federal Special Envoy didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly to the crowd.

"The second reward: an official Federal resource subsidy of one hundred million Source Power Points."

The playground erupted in an uproar.

Even the students who had just been suppressed by the divine pressure couldn't help but gasp in low voices.

"One hundred million!"

"Another one hundred million!"

"The school gave thirty million, the Department of Education gave fifty million, and now the Federation is giving one hundred million directly!"

"This is the first time in my life I've felt that Source Power Points are just numbers, but the problem is that this number is absurdly terrifying."

Zhao Yang was so stunned that his whole body went numb; he moved his lips for a long time before squeezing out a sentence.

"Pingan probably won't even need to look at his balance when he buys things from now on."

Wang Qingyan glanced at him and said in a hushed voice, "You're overthinking it. He spends money more ruthlessly than anyone."

Zhao Yang was immediately speechless.

That was true.

Wang Pingan could dump any amount of money into his divine kingdom; others could live rich for a lifetime with one hundred million, but he might turn it into spiritual veins, battle formations, equipment, and artillery shells in just a few days.

Wang Pingan looked at the golden Source Power Card, ripples of emotion in his eyes as well.

He was currently about to assault the demigod stage; divine kingdom expansion, energy replenishment, and perfecting his heritage—every step required burning money.

This one hundred million Source Power Points came at just the right time.

The Federal Special Envoy handed the Source Power Card into his hands.

"This subsidy belongs to official resource support and has been legally locked. It can only be used for divine kingdom development and subject nurturing; it cannot be cashed out or squandered."

Wang Pingan accepted the Source Power Card.

"I will use it all for my divine kingdom."

The Federal Special Envoy smiled.

"No one doubts that."

Many of the surrounding teachers also smiled.

Wang Pingan's reputation for burning money had already spread.

He did indeed spend ruthlessly, but every cent he spent yielded results.

He had smashed the fifty million in special military funds into an integrated infantry-artillery-cavalry legion, used the 3.8 million in simulation cards to train a legion's killing aura, and turned the twenty-million loan into temporal foundation and logistical reserves.

The education system was most at ease giving resources to this kind of student.

Because he wouldn't waste them.

The Federal Special Envoy didn't stop; instead, he took out an admission letter glowing with starlight.

As soon as the letter appeared, Zhou Mingyuan's breathing noticeably faltered.

After Deputy Director Xu Zhenhai saw the school emblem on it, he almost lost his composure completely.

It was a silver-blue long river spanning the starry sky, with a divine kingdom held in the center of the river.

Galaxy Deity University.

One of the highest institutions of learning in the Human Federation.

Many students on the playground hadn't reacted yet, but the teachers' section had already erupted.

"Xinghe University!"

"Guaranteed admission spot to the top university!"

"They're issuing this thing already?"

"Wang Pingan is only in his third year and just awakened!"

Lao Li stood under the podium, completely stunned.

He had thought that Wang Pingan would be noticed by top universities in advance, and he had thought someone would come to offer special recruitment conditions.

But having the Galaxy Deity University guaranteed admission letter delivered directly to his hands—this was no longer just attention.

This was snatching talent.

The Federal Special Envoy held the letter, his expression much more solemn than before.

"The third reward: a guaranteed admission letter to Galaxy Deity University."

The entire venue fell silent.

A moment ago, one hundred million Source Power Points could still make people gasp.

But once this letter appeared, many people didn't know how to shout anymore.

Galaxy Deity University was no ordinary university.

It was the cradle for nurturing high-ranking deities.

Everyone who could get in represented the most top-tier new god seeds from every star region.

A place ordinary students wouldn't even dare to dream of had now opened its doors to Wang Pingan in advance.

The Federal Special Envoy looked at Wang Pingan and said word by word, "Wang Pingan, as long as you do not commit any serious Federal crimes before graduating high school and maintain the stable development of your divine kingdom, Galaxy Deity University will reserve your official admission qualification."

Zhou Mingyuan's hands trembled slightly as he heard this.

He finally couldn't hold back and spoke on the spot.

"Special Envoy, is this an official guaranteed admission to Xinghe University, not a preparatory camp spot?"

The Federal Special Envoy looked at him.

"Official guaranteed admission."

Zhou Mingyuan swallowed hard; it took him a long time to say one sentence.

"Tianhai No. 1 High School has truly produced a dragon."

Deputy Director Xu Zhenhai stood nearby, unable to suppress the excitement on his face.

Tianhai Star had been suppressed by Liumang Star for years, and what they lacked most were top-tier talents capable of entering the highest institutions.

Now, Wang Pingan had not only won the championship but also obtained a guaranteed admission to Galaxy Deity University.

Once this news spread, the Tianhai Star Education Bureau would be able to stand tall for three years.

Wang Jincheng stood in the crowd, his eyes extremely complex.

He had once thought that he might be able to get into a decent star-region university in the future.

But Wang Pingan had already been selected by the highest institution in advance.

This gap was so large that he couldn't even bring himself to be jealous.

Wang Pingan accepted the letter, the starlight falling into his palm, and his Divine Core space vibrated slightly.

The name on the letter had already formed automatically.

Wang Pingan.

Tianhai Star, Tianhai No. 1 High School.

Galaxy Deity University guaranteed admission.

He looked down at it, then solemnly stored the letter into his Divine Core space.

"Many thanks, Special Envoy."

The Federal Special Envoy nodded.

"If you want to thank someone, thank yourself for fighting hard enough."

This sentence ignited the entire venue once again.

The students of Tianhai No. 1 High School could no longer hold back, and cheers rose to the sky.

"Xinghe University!"

"Wang Pingan guaranteed admission to the top university!"

"Tianhai No. 1 High School is awesome!"

Zhou Mingyuan didn't stop them.

He even hoped the sound would be louder.

The louder, the better.

It would be best if the whole of Tianhai City could hear it.

The Federal Special Envoy raised his hand to press down, and the sound of the crowd slowly faded.

"Wang Pingan, the top university giving you a spot does not mean you can slack off."

Wang Pingan looked up.

The Federal Special Envoy looked at him, his tone becoming serious.

"In Xinghe University, there are monster-level geniuses from the entire Human Federation, descendants of deities from first-class families, and ruthless people who have killed their way out of bloody battles at the frontier."

"Winning against Xiao Xuan in the Xuanyuan Star Region only proves you have the qualification to enter the door."

"After you enter the door, you must continue to fight."

The students on the playground felt their hearts tighten as they listened.

Wang Pingan had just won the Seventeen Stars championship; in their eyes, he was already ridiculously strong.

But in the words of the Federal Special Envoy, this was only the qualification to enter the highest institution.

Wang Pingan, however, showed not a hint of retreat.

"I understand."

The Federal Special Envoy looked at his reaction and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. Pride is fine, but if you get carried away, you will fall very hard."

Zhao Yang muttered in a low voice below.

"This Special Envoy speaks quite bluntly."

Wang Qingyan said indifferently, "Much more blunt than you."

Zhao Yang shut up.

The Federal Special Envoy finally looked at Zhou Mingyuan and Deputy Director Xu Zhenhai.

"The Tianhai Star education system must do a good job of protection. Wang Pingan has now entered the Federation's key nurturing field of vision. If any off-campus forces take action against his divine kingdom's safety, real-life safety, or resource rights and interests, report it directly to the Star Region Education Bureau."

Deputy Director Xu Zhenhai immediately agreed.

"Please rest assured, Special Envoy. The Tianhai Star Education Bureau will execute this according to the highest specifications."

Zhou Mingyuan also said seriously, "Tianhai No. 1 High School will arrange special protection and cultivation room access so he won't be held back by miscellaneous matters."

The Federal Special Envoy nodded.

He looked at Wang Pingan again.

"The rewards have been issued. Subsequent nurturing departments will contact you separately."

Wang Pingan saluted.

"Student understands."

The Federal Special Envoy didn't say anything more, turned around, and stepped onto the golden staircase.

The divine vessel slowly ascended, the golden-white law patterns lit up again, and then it passed through the clouds and departed.

Not until the divine vessel disappeared did the pressure on the playground completely dissipate.

The next moment, Tianhai No. 1 High School erupted again.

Zhou Mingyuan looked at Wang Pingan, the gratification in his eyes now impossible to hide.

"A Special Merit Medal, one hundred million in subsidies, guaranteed admission to Xinghe University—you kid have smashed through the school's history today."

Wang Pingan looked at the starlight remaining in his palm, but his mind had already turned to his divine kingdom.

One hundred million Source Power Points was heavy.

Guaranteed admission to the top university was even heavier.

But all these things had to eventually be turned into strength.

Because behind the doors of Xinghe University, there were stronger geniuses and larger battlefields.

He had just put away the admission letter when the void in the distance suddenly began to vibrate.

Above the playground, a spatial fluctuation, even more intense than when the divine vessel arrived, tore open with a boom.
