4: Chapter 4 Bluebird Academy, Jiang He's Sincerity

Upon hearing Gu Qingyao's words, Zhou Bai's expression slightly changed.

He wanted to say something, but seeing the resolute look in Gu Qingyao's eyes...

"Brother Zhou Bai, let's wait until after graduation to get married. If we don't join the Top Ten, our talents will be wasted!"

Gu Qingyao lightly bit her red lips and said to Zhou Bai.

"Qing Yao, do you believe in me?"

Zhou Bai didn't answer but instead looked directly at Gu Qingyao and asked.

"Of course I believe in Brother Zhou Bai!"

Gu Qingyao said softly.

"Then don't join Magic Martial Arts. Marry me, and I'll give you a wonderful future!"

Zhou Bai continued, looking at Gu Qingyao.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou Bai. I have to be responsible for my own future!"

Gu Qingyao clenched her fist slightly, then left Zhou Bai's side and went to stand behind Zhu Zeyu, making her choice clear.

"Student Zhou Bai, even your little girlfriend has figured it out. You should just enroll too. As for marriage, after you graduate, you can marry however you want!"

Zhu Zeyu looked at the suddenly estranged pair and then said to Zhou Bai.

"No need. She is her, and I am me. The decision I made will not change!"

Zhou Bai took a deep breath and then said with unwavering determination.

If he didn't have the system, he would have enrolled directly. But with the system, he naturally wouldn't let it unbind.

Gu Qingyao, standing behind Zhu Zeyu, seemed to want to say something but stopped herself. Seeing Zhou Bai's determined gaze, she ultimately said nothing more. She also knew that once Zhou Bai made a decision, he wouldn't change it easily.

Seeing that Zhou Bai had already made his decision, the teachers from Imperial Martial Arts and Magic Martial Arts didn't linger any longer. Adults should be responsible for their own choices.

"Zhou Bai, those two teachers are right. You've just become an adult; this is the time to forge ahead vigorously!"

After the two teachers left, First High School Principal Principal also spoke earnestly to Zhou Bai, clearly not wanting to see Zhou Bai's brilliance go to waste.

"Principal, my mind is made up!"

Zhou Bai said firmly.

"Sigh, then let me ask other top martial arts colleges for you? See if any top universities are willing to make an exception!"

Principal took a deep breath and said to Zhou Bai.

"Thank you, Principal!"

Zhou Bai said gratefully.

If he could both get married and enter a top university, that would naturally be the best outcome.

Then, Principal went to inquire for Zhou Bai whether other top martial arts universities' policies could be flexible.

Zhou Bai, meanwhile, began searching for other marriage prospects. After all, Gu Qingyao had already refused; Zhou Bai needed another suitable candidate.

At the Awakening Center, Zhou Bai found some who met the requirements, but these were all hopeful young women aspiring to the martial path.

So, Zhou Bai started looking for those with low talent but who met the requirements.

This actually led Zhou Bai to discover quite a few suitable young women.

Zhou Bai revealed his dual S-grade talent. After stating his requirements, many of the young women were inwardly tempted.

Dual S-grade talent, even without attending a top university, was far better than ordinary low-grade talent.

After Zhou Bai got contact information from seven or eight interested young women, the Awakening Center's awakening ceremony was also coming to an end.

Many youths who had awakened their talents were searching for suitable universities, preparing for martial arts college.

Zhou Bai's classmates at Jianglin No. 1 High School also vaguely learned of his requirement.

One by one, they couldn't understand Zhou Bai. With dual S-grade talent and a bright future ahead, must you insist on getting married now?

Zhao Tianxing, who had been previously defeated, became smug again. So what if he had dual S-grade talent? Without the cultivation of a top university, he was destined to struggle climbing the martial arts peak.

However, Zhao Tianxing didn't go to Zhou Bai's side to kick him while he was down just yet.

He was afraid that if he went to mock Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai might get angry and join the Top Ten, which would ruin his joy.

"Zhou Bai, I asked many universities, including quite a few of the Seventy-Two Lower Schools. None were willing to change their rules!"

Principal had now returned to the group and said helplessly to Zhou Bai.

"I understand. Thank you, Principal!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bai let go of the last sliver of hope in his heart.

It seems he can only cultivate on his own.

I hope the system won't let me down, Zhou Bai made his decision.

He planned to leave the Awakening Center and immediately marry one of the suitable young women he had just found, then activate the system.

So what if there's no top university? Relying on my own efforts, I can still achieve invincibility.

"Student Zhou Bai, I heard you're willing to enroll only after getting married. Would you consider our Azure Bird Academy? Our Azure Bird Academy is willing to make this exception for Student Zhou Bai!"

Just then, a deep, resonant voice came.

On the other side, a middle-aged man with square-framed glasses and a refined, scholarly demeanor walked over quickly.

"Azure Bird Academy?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Zhou Bai was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't heard of Azure Bird Academy. Did Xia Country have such a university?

"Student Zhou Bai, I am Chen Jianghe, the principal of Azure Bird Academy. Our Azure Bird Academy is a Vocational College!"

Chen Jianghe then said to Zhou Bai, stating his identity.

"A Vocational College?"

Zhou Bai's heart sank. He didn't expect a Vocational College to approach him.

"Student Zhou Bai, although our Azure Bird Academy is a Vocational College, it is the TOP1 among Vocational Colleges..."

"Our academy's faculty strength and martial arts resources are number one among Vocational Colleges. If you join our Azure Bird Academy, we can devote all our resources to cultivating you. Moreover, you getting married is no problem!"

Chen Jianghe continued.

"Hmph, the top Vocational College is still just a Vocational College."

"Exactly. A dual S-grade student, can you Vocational Colleges even teach him properly? Don't mislead and waste talent..."

"This is hilarious. Devoting all resources? Does your school even have S-grade resources? You probably don't even have B-grade cultivation resources..."

"Student Zhou Bai, you should give up the idea of getting married and join our Star Martial. The Top Ten is the most suitable place for a prodigy like you..."

"Student Zhou Bai, at a Vocational College, you won't be able to obtain top-tier Breathing Techniques; your cultivation speed will be very slow. You can only learn martial skills below A-grade. As for various cultivation resources, there's no need to say more. A Vocational College will seriously drag down your potential..."

Soon, teachers from other universities nearby also spoke up one after another.

Although Zhou Bai currently wanted to get married, he might change his mind later. So, they were all lurking nearby, hoping to recruit Zhou Bai if he changed his mind.

Now, seeing the principal of a Vocational College come to recruit Zhou Bai, they couldn't sit still, fearing this top-tier dual S-grade talent would enter a Vocational College and have his brilliance buried.

Zhou Bai, however, said nothing, instead considering Chen Jianghe's proposal.

He naturally knew the drawbacks of a Vocational College. But right now, those top universities were unwilling to break the established rules.

Since he can't enter a top university anyway, even if he goes to a Vocational College...

"Student Zhou Bai, if you're willing to join my Azure Bird Academy, I am willing to marry my daughter to you, letting you get married immediately. My daughter is pure and beautiful, the school belle of Azure Bird First High, and has A-grade talent. She will definitely satisfy you!"

At this moment, seeing Zhou Bai seemed to be pondering, Chen Jianghe, afraid Zhou Bai would be swayed by the other university teachers, gritted his teeth and said.

Zhou Bai: o((⊙﹏⊙))o!!!???

Hearing Chen Jianghe's words, Zhou Bai was slightly stunned. He didn't expect this Chen Jianghe to be so sincere, directly prepared to marry his daughter to him.

The many teachers around were also dumbfounded. Bro, do you have to go this hard for recruitment...
