133: College Selection
"What's going on?"
"Dean Xia and the others are actually fighting over Su Yuan to be a student in their department!"
"To think that during our previous opening ceremony, it was always the senior students from various academies who recruited on behalf of the instructors. Compared to Su Yuan, the treatment is too different, isn't it?"
"Wuwuwu, I only Cultivated for one day in the Fire Institute's Fire Element Secret Realm and it cost me 50 points. This Su Yuan can actually enjoy the Fire Element Secret Realm for free for four years!"
"Even Emperor-level Beastmasters are scrambling to take him as their student, and they're offering such massive beast taming resources! Is this the treatment for a top Genius?"
"Comparing oneself to others is infuriating!"
"Heh, if you could be the first to clear the Moving Maze, you would also receive such treatment!"
...
Below, the students in the plaza stared intently at the four deans fiercely arguing in the sky, their shock immeasurable.
"Ahem, esteemed deans, please listen to my opinion first."
On Xiao Yan's back, Su Yuan lightly coughed, glancing at Xia Jiming and He Qiang beside him.
Hearing Su Yuan's words, Xia Jiming and He Qiang immediately stopped their argument, all looking at Su Yuan with a hint of nervousness in their eyes.
Having been deans for so many years, they hadn't felt this nervous in a long time.
Su Yuan's words just now clearly indicated that he already had his own plans.
What Su Yuan was about to say would surely determine which academy he would ultimately choose.
"Dean Xia, you just said that if I joined your Beast Taming Research Institute, all the beast taming resources I would need in the future would be half price. Does that still count?"
"Hahahaha, of course it counts!"
"Su Yuan, as long as you come to my Beast Taming Research Institute, I, in the name of the Dean of the Beast Taming Research Institute, guarantee that all the beast taming resources you exchange for in the Nine Provinces Academy's treasury will be half price for you!"
After hearing Su Yuan's words, Xia Jiming's old face instantly blossomed into a smile, and he immediately patted his chest in assurance.
As the Dean of the Beast Taming Research Institute, he could allocate a large amount of beast taming resources from the academy's treasury every year.
The beast taming resources allocated by the academy each year, converted into academy points, amounted to at least tens of millions.
At times, the beast taming resources allocated from the academy in a single year even reached as high as thirty million points.
In Xia Jiming's view, Su Yuan was currently only a Commander-level Beastmaster, and in his four years at Nine Provinces Academy, Su Yuan would at most be a King-level Beastmaster upon graduation.
Even with an SSS-Rank Beast Taming Talent, able to contract three Beasts at each Rank, Su Yuan's Beasts would still only number 21.
Even if all of them used seventh-tier beast taming resources to evolve into Epic-grade Beasts, the total value of the Materials Su Yuan would need would probably be just over 20 million points.
With Su Yuan contributing 10 million points himself, he would only need to cover about 10 million academy points for Su Yuan.
Over four years, the Beast Taming Research Institute spending over ten million points to Cultivate Su Yuan would absolutely not be an issue.
Moreover, a Beastmaster's energy is limited, and every Beastmaster only focuses on fully Cultivating a few Beasts as their main force.
Even Xue Zhengyi, the only SSS-Rank Talent Beastmaster in Great Xia, only had 8 main Beasts, and they were cultivated meticulously over decades.
In comparison, no matter how much of a Genius Su Yuan was, with the same SSS-Rank Beast Taming Talent, he would at most Cultivate 8 main Beasts in his four years at Nine Provinces Academy.
This way, the points the Beast Taming Research Institute would need to spend could be greatly discounted.
"Hmm, that's good, then I've decided to join the Beast Taming Research Institute!"
After receiving Xia Jiming's affirmation, Su Yuan's face immediately broke into a smile as he responded.
Although the conditions proposed by Lin Huosheng and He Qiang were also very tempting.
However, Su Yuan hadn't just focused on strengthening his Beast's power during his month at Nine Provinces Academy; he had also familiarized himself with the environment and situation of Nine Provinces Academy.
Su Yuan also had some understanding of the Secret Realm for fire-element Beast Cultivation that Lin Huosheng mentioned, which was exclusive to the Fire Institute.
That was a place called the Fire Element Secret Realm, where the special Fire Element Qi could greatly increase the Cultivation speed of fire-element Beasts, boosting their Cultivation speed tenfold.
Every Fire Institute student could spend academy points to enter and Cultivate there.
However, the cost of entering the Fire Element Secret Realm to Cultivate was not small.
An Transcendent Level Beastmaster would consume 50 points for one day of Cultivation.
A Commander-level Beastmaster would require 200 points for one day of Cultivation.
Subsequent Lord-level Beastmasters would need to spend 1000 points a day.
As for King-level Beastmasters, they were restricted from entering the Fire Element Secret Realm.
After all, King-level Beastmasters are powerful, and the Fire Element Qi their Beasts need to absorb for each Cultivation session is a hundred times that of Lord-level Beasts.
If the number of King-level fire-element Beasts became too high, the Fire Element Qi generated by the Fire Element Secret Realm wouldn't keep up with the consumption rate.
If King-level Beastmasters, these Experts, were truly allowed to Cultivate there, the Fire Element Secret Realm would likely collapse from being absorbed by the King-level Beastmasters in not too long.
As for the Secret Realms for Beast Cultivation of various elements in other academies, the situation was similar.
Therefore, even with the highest Lord-level Cultivation consumption, Su Yuan's total points spent in Nine Provinces Academy over these four years would only be a little over a million.
It would not exceed two million points at most.
While these points were a significant amount for an average student of Nine Provinces Academy.
For Su Yuan, however, they were negligible.
After all, Su Yuan could rush to the ninety-ninth floor of the Tower of Babel immediately upon enrollment, earning twenty million academy points.
These points, for Su Yuan, were merely the cost of one Beast evolution.
And that was for the second stage of Beast evolution.
For the subsequent third and fourth stages of evolution, these expenses would only increase.
At that time, a single seventh-tier Beast evolution resource would cost one million points.
An eighth-tier Beast evolution resource would have an exchange price as high as ten million points.
If Su Yuan were to exchange for an eighth-tier Beast evolution resource from the Nine Provinces Academy's treasury in the future, the Beast Taming Research Institute reimbursing him half the points would amount to five million!
These points would be enough for Su Yuan to Cultivate simultaneously in all the Secret Realms of the Fire Institute, Shadow Institute, and Water Institute.
Therefore, upon hearing the promise from Dean Xia Jiming of the Beast Taming Research Institute, Su Yuan immediately decided to choose the Beast Taming Research Institute for his Advanced studies.
Putting aside other things, just the half-price points promised by Xia Jiming for exchanging beast taming resources from the Nine Provinces Academy's treasury was enough for Su Yuan not to choose any other department for Cultivation.
However, considering the future expenses for evolving his Beasts, Su Yuan was afraid that Xia Jiming might go back on his word once he learned of his Beast evolution costs, which is why he asked this question now.
This question, asked in front of all the deans of the Beast Taming departments at Nine Provinces Academy, was also intentional on Su Yuan's part.
This way, even if Xia Jiming was unwilling, he would have no choice but to bite the bullet and reimburse him for his Beast evolution resources.
"Hahahaha! Good, good, good!"
"Su Yuan, you've made a wise choice!"
Across from Su Yuan, Xia Jiming, having received Su Yuan's affirmative answer, burst into hearty laughter.
Little did he know that in the not-too-distant future, recalling today's promise, he would wish he could turn back time and slap himself hard.
