148: Seven-star magic core!

“Holy crap, how domineering!”

“That’s how you deal with those snobs!”

“What a relief! As expected of a Genius from our Luofeng City!”

The Martial Artists watching were overjoyed.

They were numerous, and although not strong, they had the courage to whisper.

Li Canglan smiled apologetically at the other nine people, the City Lord, and the Pavilion Master.

“Excuse me, please come upstairs for a chat.”

This time, no one came to cause trouble.

The group headed straight for the third floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

“As expected of the Zhuangyuan, he remains neither humble nor arrogant when facing the powerful.”

“If I were in Li Canglan’s position, I probably wouldn’t dare to speak to that Luoyue Academy admissions teacher like that.”

“So, there’s still a difference between a Genius and ordinary people like us.”

Li Canglan did not take them to Uncle He’s room on the third floor.

Instead, they went to the reception room on the fourth floor.

“Teachers, before I decide which Academy to apply to, I’d like to make two requests.”

Li Canglan spoke directly, getting straight to the point.

This made the admissions teachers curious.

They had been in charge of admissions for so many years.

The number of Geniuses they had seen was not countless, but definitely not a small number.

However, when these Geniuses faced them, while not overly submissive,

They certainly couldn't be as calm as Li Canglan.

He even proactively made demands.

“Speak.”

One of the admissions teachers, dressed in a white robe, smiled.

Li Canglan nodded,

“A relative of mine was severely injured in battle, and I need Heaven And Earth Treasure that can heal his injuries.”

The white-robed teacher’s gaze was calm.

“Is it He Qianxun?”

Li Canglan did not hide it.

“That’s right.”

“If I remember correctly, He Qianxun’s strength should be that of a Five-Star Martial Master.”

The admissions teacher smiled,

“Although I can’t produce such valuable Heaven And Earth Treasure, it’s definitely not a problem for the Academy.”

“My Tianlong Academy agrees.”

“My Modu Academy has no problem either.”

“Count my Forging Body Academy in.”

...

For a moment, eight of the Academy teachers agreed.

Only the last teacher remained silent, but no one questioned him.

Without needing anyone else to introduce him, Li Canglan could guess his identity.

The Imperial Capital Academy’s admissions teacher!

“Since all the teachers have agreed, I have a second request.”

Li Canglan looked at Zhang Nanbo, who was sitting with the group.

“City Lord Zhang is also an Elder of mine, and he was severely wounded in the battle against the spatial rift.”

Li Canglan didn’t finish, but everyone understood his meaning.

However, this time, they didn’t agree immediately as before.

Instead, they frowned, their faces showing hesitation.

Zhang Nanbo hadn’t expected Li Canglan to ask for healing for him.

While touched, he tried to persuade Li Canglan to change his request.

But Li Canglan was stubborn.

No matter which Academy he went to, that Academy would never shortchange him on Cultivation resources.

Therefore, there was no need for him to specifically ask for Cultivation resources.

He didn’t have much contact with Zhang Nanbo.

But Zhang Nanbo had, after all, shown kindness to him and Uncle He.

Not repaying kindness was not his style.

After a long time, the first to speak was still the white-robed teacher from Tianlong Academy.

“Student Li, it’s not that we are unwilling to agree to you.”

He sighed,

“City Lord Zhang used a life-risking secret technique, which is an unrevealed secret of the official government.”

“The side effects of this secret technique are usually immense; having such minor consequences already means it’s an improved version.”

“Even if our strength is comparable to City Lord Zhang’s, we haven’t mastered this secret technique.”

“Moreover, as far as we know, even the official government hasn’t mastered a way to completely eliminate the side effects.”

“Please forgive us for being powerless.”

The other admissions teachers also shook their heads.

They clearly agreed with the Tianlong Academy teacher’s statement.

Zhang Nanbo had known this would be the result all along, so he wasn’t too disappointed.

Only Li Canglan remained silent, looking at the Imperial Capital Academy teacher who hadn’t spoken.

“Teacher, do you have any solution?”

Li Bancheng, the Imperial Capital Academy teacher, shook his head.

“I am also powerless.”

Li Canglan’s eyes visibly showed disappointment.

However, the next moment, Li Bancheng suddenly changed the subject.

“The side effects cannot be resolved for now, but our Academy’s teachers have been involved in improving the secret technique and alleviating the side effects.”

“If there are results, City Lord Zhang can be treated immediately.”

“In addition, our Academy has a Spirit Nurturing Spring that can nourish the body and minimize City Lord Zhang’s injuries as much as possible.”

As soon as Li Bancheng said this, the faces of the admissions teachers from other Academies changed slightly.

“Li Bancheng, are you crazy?”

“The Spirit Nurturing Spring is a renewable treasure, but its regeneration speed is extremely slow!”

“Even within the Imperial Capital Academy, there are very few students who can bathe in the Spirit Nurturing Spring!”

They didn’t doubt that Li Canglan, as the Zhuangyuan of a Base City, could obtain a single qualification for the Spirit Nurturing Spring.

But bathing once can greatly benefit a Martial Artist!

Wasting such an opportunity on Zhang Nanbo, whose future was clearly limited,

That was a complete waste!

“Okay, I am willing to join the Imperial Capital Academy.”

The Imperial Capital Academy was undoubtedly the First Academy of Shenxia Country.

It was already Li Canglan’s desired destination.

The other party was willing to offer a price that other Academies could hardly match.

This was enough to show the sincerity of the Imperial Capital Academy.

Li Canglan had no reason to refuse.

Seeing this, the admissions teachers from Tianlong Academy and other Academies could only shake their heads and sigh.

They actually had treasures similar to the Spirit Nurturing Spring in their Academies.

However, in terms of size, they were inferior to the Imperial Capital Academy.

More than a dozen Base Cities across the country meant there were at least a dozen Zhuangyuan.

They simply couldn’t afford to provide for so many people.

Even for Li Canglan, they couldn’t guarantee that they could provide the same conditions as the Imperial Capital Academy.

“In addition, the Imperial Capital Academy is willing to provide Student Li with a seven-star Demonic Core and an A-grade Martial Skill!”

Li Bancheng’s voice wasn’t loud, but it made Zhang Nanbo and the Martial Arts Pavilion Pavilion Master’s heads buzz.

“Seven-star Demonic Core, A-grade Martial Skill?”

The stronger a Demonic Beast, the higher the probability of it forming a Demonic Core.

At the level of a seven-star Demonic Beast, most Demonic Beasts will produce a Demonic Core within their bodies.

But this was at least the essence of a seven-star Demonic Beast!

Furthermore, the value of an A-grade Martial Skill needed no further explanation!

In the entire Luofeng City, only three people possessed A-grade Martial Skills.

City Lord Zhang Nanbo, Chen Anmin of the Demon Suppression Division, and Elder He Qianxun of the Martial Arts Pavilion!

Among them, He Qianxun only obtained the A-grade Martial Skill because of a greatachievement he rendered many years ago!

Even the Martial Arts Pavilion Pavilion Master did not possess this level of Martial Skill!

The Imperial Capital Academy’s generosity was truly immense!

“Li Bancheng, you’re ruthless!”

The other admissions teachers gave him a thumbs up.
