11: Chapter 11 Differences Between Universities, Admission Guide

Although he had already decided to go to Azure Bird Academy, Zhou Bai still spent a few more days studying in the "gentle village."

Three days later, Qingcheng.

Qingcheng was a coastal city in the Xia Kingdom; trade was convenient here, making it prosperous and wealthy.

Azure Bird Academy was located in Qingcheng. Besides Azure Bird Academy, there were two other Upper Colleges also rooted in Qingcheng.

"Is this Azure Bird Academy? As expected of the TOP 1 Vocational College, it's truly grand!"

Stepping off the airship, Zhou Bai looked at the incredibly magnificent school gate ahead, which was over a hundred meters wide, and the smooth concrete road stretching dozens of meters in front of it, feeling a shock in his heart.

Although he hadn't entered the school yet, Zhou Bai could already see the tall teaching buildings inside from a distance.

There was also a palpable martial will blowing toward him.

Zhou Bai also heard many students at the school gate discussing Breathing Techniques and martial arts skills; the martial arts atmosphere was very thick.

Clearly, this school was far from simple.

As expected, I underestimated the No. 1 Vocational College; it truly has strength.

Zhou Bai estimated that this school was at least ten square kilometers, making it no smaller than some small county towns.

"Zhou Bai, this isn't Azure Bird Academy; this is Qingcheng University. Our Azure Bird Academy is further in. The airship doesn't go to our Vocational College; we have to head there ourselves!"

At this moment, Zhao Shiyu interrupted Zhou Bai's thoughts and said faintly.

Zhou Bai: o((⊙﹏⊙))o!!!???

Hearing Zhao Shiyu's words, Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat.

Then, Zhou Bai looked at the four characters written in a flamboyant style on the school gate: Qingcheng University.

So it was Qingcheng University, one of the Thirty-Six Upper Colleges.

Qingcheng University was a top-tier Upper College and was quite famous among the Thirty-Six Upper Colleges.

"Let's go, then. Let's head to Azure Bird Academy!"

Zhou Bai then said slowly.

After realizing it wasn't his own school, Zhou Bai lost interest.

"Mm, Zhou Bai, follow me!"

Zhao Shiyu then took Zhou Bai's hand and walked toward another direction.

After walking for over ten minutes, Zhou Bai finally arrived at Azure Bird Academy.

The gate of Azure Bird Academy was only a dozen meters high. Although there were many teaching buildings inside, they clearly couldn't compare to Qingcheng University.

On the street at the entrance of Qingcheng University, there were also many shops and trading stalls; although it was more down-to-earth, the martial arts atmosphere was clearly not thick enough.

"I heard a new KTV opened in Qingcheng. Brothers, let's go check it out. For the first three days of opening, we university students get a 30% discount..."

"What, 30% off? Then we definitely have to go see..."

"Not going, it's boring. I think going to Tianyou to play video games is more fun. League of Legends is releasing a classic version, I'm going to play AP Master Yi..."

"A lot of high-quality underclasswomen have enrolled recently. Are you guys sure you don't want to try your luck?"

On his way into the school, Zhou Bai heard many students chatting and joking around.

Most of them were discussing eating, drinking, and having fun...

The blood qi power of these students was generally weak; many were still at the First Rank.

"Zhou Bai, actually, there are still many students in our school who practice diligently..."

Zhao Shiyu whispered to Zhou Bai after hearing the various discussions around them.

As she spoke, Zhao Shiyu held Zhou Bai tightly, seemingly wanting to use her own "advantages" to comfort him.

"It's fine. Since I chose Azure Bird Academy, I naturally won't care about these minor details!"

Zhou Bai smiled slightly and continued.

Zhao Shiyu nodded and led Zhou Bai forward.

After strolling for a while, Zhou Bai gained a better understanding of Azure Bird Academy.

Although the academy wasn't large, the environment inside was nice. Various spiritual plants and flowers, along with pavilions and modern buildings, all fit the style of Azure Bird Academy.

In the center of the academy stood a fiery-red statue of a large bird.

The large bird statue emitted a scorching aura, causing the temperature in the central area to rise significantly compared to other places.

However, many students were also here, using the scorching aura from the firebird to practice martial arts techniques and refine their blood qi.

"Our founding principal obtained this statue from an ancient ruin. Cultivating around this statue also has a slight promotional effect!"

Zhao Shiyu then introduced the statue to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai nodded; he could indeed feel that his blood qi power circulated a bit faster next to this statue.

Even if it was just a little, if maintained over a long period, it would be a significant advantage.

"Zhou Bai, let me take you to the myriad beast blood pool to increase your blood qi power first!"

Zhao Shiyu said to Zhou Bai.

"Alright!"

Zhou Bai nodded and followed Zhao Shiyu to the location of the myriad beast blood pool.

The myriad beast blood pool was located in Azure Bird Academy's Qingmu Garden.

The environment here was quiet and elegant, with many Azure Bird Academy students practicing martial arts techniques or exchanging cultivation insights.

"Senior Sister Shiyu..."

"Senior Sister Shiyu, you're back..."

After Zhao Shiyu led Zhou Bai into Qingmu Garden, many students smiled and greeted her.

Zhao Shiyu's popularity in Azure Bird Academy was quite high; with her Third Rank strength, A-rank Talent, and outstanding looks, she was a true goddess-level figure.

Even within the entire Qingcheng University circle, Zhao Shiyu had quite a bit of fame.

Many people felt it was a pity; with her A-rank Talent, Zhao Shiyu could have clearly entered an Upper College or even one of the Top Ten, yet she stayed at Azure Bird Academy.

Many students of Azure Bird Academy also highly respected this gentle and pure goddess-like senior sister.

Before long, after passing through the quiet garden, Zhou Bai and Zhao Shiyu arrived at the myriad beast blood pool.

The myriad beast blood pool was in the deepest part of Qingmu Garden. It was filled with rich blood qi power, and the surrounding spiritual plants were stained a slight dark red by this dense energy.

"Instructor Li, this is Junior Brother Zhou Bai. I've brought him to use the myriad beast blood pool!"

Beside the myriad beast blood pool, Zhao Shiyu spoke to the instructor guarding it.

"Is this the genius with the Double S-rank Talent? As expected, his martial arts talent is astonishing; he has already achieved rank entry!"

Instructor Li's eyes lit up as he felt the surging blood qi on Zhou Bai's body.

Since Instructor Li himself was only a Fifth Rank martial artist, and Zhou Bai hadn't displayed his blood qi power, Instructor Li couldn't discern Zhou Bai's true strength.

He could only roughly sense that Zhou Bai had entered the ranks and that his blood qi power was not low.

"Sorry to trouble you, Instructor Li!"

Zhou Bai also said to Instructor Li.

"It's no trouble, just a small matter. Student Zhou Bai, the blood qi power in the myriad beast blood pool is quite violent. You've only just mastered the Breathing Technique, so you need to be careful!"

Instructor Li waved his hand.

"Junior Sister Shiyu, I'm not convinced! The slot for the myriad beast blood pool clearly should have been mine. Why? Why give it to this newly enrolled Zhou Bai? Why? Just because his talent is stronger than mine?"
