40: Chapter 40 Direct Invitation Quota

In the plaza, all the examinees and teachers turned their gazes toward Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the stage.

Whispers rose one after another, growing louder and louder.

"That's right, why doesn't Lu Yuan have to undergo the level test?"

"And what is the meaning of him sitting in the examiner's seat?"

"Could it be that he's pulling strings?"

"Shh! Keep it down!"

"What are you afraid of? Can't I even say that?"

"..."

Lu Yuan did not speak.

Beside him, Examiner Fan Zhiyuan, sitting in the examiner's seat, curled the corners of his lips slightly, stood up, and said loudly.

"The reason is very simple."

"For this College Entrance Exam, Magic City Royal Academy possesses only one direct invitation quota."

"It has already been granted to Lu Yuan."

"Therefore, he does not need to participate in the basic assessment and can directly become a member of the special assessment."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell into dead silence.

Thousands of gazes turned toward Lu Yuan, filled with disbelief.

Subsequently, all the examinees completely erupted.

"Boom—!"

"The direct invitation quota has already been decided internally?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be something everyone competes for together?"

"Damn, this is too ridiculous."

"..."

"Why?!"

Deng Tianhao rushed out from the crowd, roaring at the stage with a twisted expression.

"A Summoner who can only summon a Slime and a Skeleton Soldier, why does he deserve the only direct invitation quota?!"

Deng Tianhao's words successfully stirred up the crowd.

Most of the other examinees also showed expressions of confusion.

"Deng Tianhao is right; we don't accept such a decision."

"We demand fair competition."

"Right, we demand openness and fairness."

Examiner Fan Zhiyuan frowned, a flash of displeasure appearing in his eyes.

"The direct invitation quota is naturally given to the one with the strongest strength."

"Magic City Royal Academy originally did not have a direct invitation quota; it only exists because of student Lu Yuan."

"This is the collective decision of all examiners."

The entire venue was in an uproar.

"What?!"

"Specifically set up for Lu Yuan?!"

"This is just too ridiculous!"

"So, after all that, this quota was a qualification set up solely for Lu Yuan."

"Everything is pre-arranged."

"He's from a conglomerate, a wealthy family. Isn't it normal for him to pull strings? Why make such a fuss?"

"..."

Examiner Fan Zhiyuan's words ignited the resentment in the hearts of the examinees.

However, many people also had the ability to think independently.

Xu Qianqian shook her head.

Deng Tianhao, that idiot.

Lu Yuan's Magic Pet are indeed a Slime and a Skeleton Soldier; this is common knowledge.

But he also refreshed the Novice Dungeon record and passed the Demon level.

If such a person is also trash.

Then how many people in the world are not trash?

Lu Yuan did not speak, but instead directly revealed his level.

[Level 18!]

!!!

The entire venue was in an uproar.

"Level 18? Holy crap, Young Master Lu is actually Level 18?"

"This level is too exaggerated."

"In history, has anyone reached Level 18 during the College Entrance Exam?"

"Yes, the War King was also Level 18 when he took the College Entrance Exam."

"Holy crap!! Lu Yuan is the same level as the current world's strongest person. Doesn't that mean..."

"..."

Lu Yuan stood on the stage, looking down condescendingly at Deng Tianhao.

"I'm trash?"

"Then what does that make you, who has never beaten me?"

Deng Tianhao's face went from livid to pale, and then from pale to bright red.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a single word.

Because the truth was right before his eyes.

Damn it, it's only been a few days, how did he reach Level 18?

Lu Yuan couldn't be bothered to deal with such a clown and continued to lean back in his chair leisurely.

He was also very curious about what the direct invitation quota was actually for.

...

"Brother Hao, don't be angry."

Several lackeys followed behind Deng Tianhao and whispered:

"Boss, don't be intimidated by him."

"His level was all leveled up by professional boosters hired by his family."

"At the end of the day, Lu Yuan is just a trash Summoner who can only summon a Slime and a Skeleton Soldier. Once he enters combat, this fact will be completely exposed."

Another sharp-featured lackey quickly chimed in.

"That's right, didn't that examiner just say it? The examinee who accepts this quota will face a more severe challenge."

"When the time comes, he'll be the one embarrassing himself."

Hearing this, Deng Tianhao's expression softened slightly. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

That's right, his current strength is absolutely invincible at Magic City Royal Academy.

What does a mere direct invitation quota matter?

The College Entrance Exam is about strength.

When the time comes, he will crush everything.

"You're right."

Deng Tianhao straightened his back, ambition reigniting in his eyes.

"I am an peerless genius who is going to soar to the skies on the College Entrance Exam battlefield and get into the four top universities."

"And Lu Yuan is just a second-generation rich kid who relies on family support."

"In the future, we will just be two parallel lines that never intersect."

Several lackeys quickly came up to butter him up.

"That's right, Boss. With your combat power, you are comparable to an Epic-tier professional."

"Right, on the College Entrance Exam battlefield, Boss will definitely soar to the skies."

"When Boss takes off, don't forget about us."

The sharp-featured youth lowered his voice, "Brother Hao, I heard that the admissions teacher from Star Academy has already secretly arrived in Magic City."

Deng Tianhao's eyes lit up.

"Star Academy?"

The strongest academy founded by the number one human powerhouse.

The threshold is very high; generally, only professionals above the Epic tier have a chance to be admitted.

The admissions teacher had actually arrived in Magic City secretly.

"Could they be here for me?"

Deng Tianhao lifted his chin slightly, a flash of confidence in his eyes.

As his control over the demonized power deepened, he became increasingly aware of how strong he was now.

Epic tier?

No.

He was stronger than ordinary Epic-tier individuals.

"Star Academy..."

He muttered.

"I will show them who the real genius is."

The lackey quickly flattered him: "Brother Hao is awesome! Once Brother Hao enters Star Academy, Lu Yuan won't even be able to see Brother Hao's taillights!"

"That's right, that trash Lu Yuan only deserves to be a frog in a well in Magic City!"

Deng Tianhao curled the corners of his lips slightly.

What is a direct invitation quota?

What is Lu Yuan?

I, Deng Tianhao, will get into Star Academy.

I will conquer the stars and the sea!

Instead of competing here with a piece of trash who can only summon a Slime.
