6: Jiang Xiaoyu

Lin Ye hesitated for a long time, but ultimately decided on Magic City University as his first choice.

The two universities were on par, but one particular mentor at Magic City University caught Lin Ye's attention.

Co-mentor: Jiang Xiaoyu

Gender: Male

Age: 38

Level: Seventh-tier Martial Artist

Teaching Experience: None

Main Experience: Born in.......

This mentor was not particularly conspicuous among the many mentors; all mentors at Magic University and Jing University were seventh-tier or above, making Jiang Xiaoyu's seventh-tier strength seem unremarkable.

But what Lin Ye valued was that he was, ah, no, that it was his first time accepting students.

For everyone, the first time is very important.

The first disciple and the last disciple would undoubtedly receive more attention.

Those old hand mentors who had taught countless students would be diligent out of duty, but would not provide extra care.

As for teaching quality, Lin Ye wasn't worried; becoming a seventh-tier at 38 was a sign of genius, and being a co-mentor at Magic University undoubtedly meant a very high level of skill.

Moreover, the seventh-tier was a threshold; reaching it meant being able to fly and traverse the Galaxy with one's physical body, capable of long-term survival in space as long as energy supply was sufficient.

Mainly, Lin Ye wasn't confident he could gain favor from those eighth-tier mentors.

Although he had a cheat, its advantages would only become apparent after long-term persistence; in the early stages, he might not win against those pay-to-win players and those with connections.

Also, Lin Ye's overall score wasn't top-tier.

Compared to Magic City University's previous admission lists, he was at a middle-to-lower level, mainly dragged down by his cultural scores and Star Power level.

In previous years, some students had already broken through two tiers.

Lin Ye believed that there would definitely be many Martial Artists in their cohort who had broken through to the second-tier.

Star Power level was something that couldn't be helped.

Cultivating Star Power depended on physical talent, as well as supplements and proficiency in cultivation techniques.

Supplements couldn't be used before university admission, so Lin Ye's main shortcoming was his cultivation technique proficiency.

Lin Ye decided to quickly resolve this issue after admission.

He also needed to find sources for supplements after admission.

After making his decision, Lin Ye filled out his application form.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Lin Ye, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received the notification: admission successful.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he knew his mentor would contact him shortly.

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, a video call came in.

After Lin Ye accepted, a young man's phantom appeared.

He looked unrestrained on the outside, but the sharp glint occasionally revealed in his eyes made people unable to ignore him.

Below a pair of sword-like eyebrows were slender, peach-blossom eyes that one could easily fall into.

Coupled with a high nose and moderately thick red lips, he now wore a dazzling smile.

"Are you Lin Ye?" His voice was deep, rich, and magnetic.

Lin Ye clicked his tongue.

Although he had looked him up online and knew his mentor was a popular guy, he was still shocked by his appearance.

His mentor's looks made him feel a strong sense of threat.

(Alright, completely crushed.)

"Yes, Hello, Teacher Jiang, I am Lin Ye."

Jiang Xiaoyu scrutinized him, feeling that although his prospective student's appearance was ordinary, his physique was good, and his face was resolute.

Thinking of his outstanding special ability and skill proficiency, he couldn't help but feel satisfied.

It seemed he was a hardworking and talented good kid.

"I've read your file.

Humble origins, extraordinary talent.

You don't know, after receiving your file, the Martial Artist teachers' group at our school exploded.

Reaching intermediate proficiency in Star Force in one month is rare."

Mainly, it was rare to see someone without resources who could rival other top students in this cohort, especially with a special ability that was so difficult to train, Jiang Xiaoyu added internally.

Lin Ye was startled.

He knew his talent should be valued by the school, but he didn't expect Jiang Xiaoyu to be so casual in conversation.

Wasn't this an interview?

"Ah?

I just practiced and it happened.

I didn't expect my talent to be quite good.

Teacher Jiang, when does the interview start?" Lin Ye scratched his head.

Jiang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said casually.

"No need.

I'm very satisfied with you.

I just wanted to see you during this interview opportunity.

If you think I'm acceptable, then go confirm it on the Education Examination Authority's official website."

Lin Ye didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

He logged into the examination authority to confirm and immediately received an email from the school.

Besides congratulatory pleasantries, it included an electronic admission notice and an electronic student ID card.

"Alright, confirmation successful.

Congratulations on becoming a Magic University student.

You should have looked me up online, so no need for self-introduction.

Alright, add my QQ and WeChat.

If anything comes up, just find me there."

After the two added each other on QQ and WeChat, they didn't chat much more.

The interview video needed to be uploaded for admission, so it wasn't suitable for casual conversation.

After hanging up the video call, Lin Ye finally couldn't hold back his excitement.

He grabbed his home exercise equipment and furiously did dozens of sets of movements, and also sent the good news to Kai-ge.

Kai-ge replied half an hour later, calling him directly.

"Lin Ye, I knew you had it in you, but I'm not bad either; I got admitted to the Martial University."

"Congratulations, Kai-ge, Martial University is great.

But why did it take you so long to reply?"

Kai-ge frowned, pouring out his grievances.

"You don't know, my teacher is super strict.

He said he wanted to test my endurance, so he made me sprint two kilometers, then one hundred weighted squats, one hundred weighted push-ups, and even made me use Gigantification and Hardening to hit the testing machine to see my 'capacity'.

By the way, how were you so fast?"

Lin Ye rubbed his nose, "My mentor just said a few words and admitted me."

Kai-ge's eyes widened, "Oh my god, you're so lucky, you'll probably have an incredibly comfortable life from now on.

My mentor is too strict.

And he looks fierce, two point two meters tall, full of oppressive presence.

I feel like I won't have a rebellious phase under him."

Lin Ye laughed heartily.

The two exchanged information about their mentors.

Lin Ye checked and felt Kai-ge's future would not be easy.

Kai-ge's mentor was also a co-mentor, a retired soldier who now worked in a Star Realm hunting team.

He was a seventh-tier Titan, over sixty years old.

Star Realm hunting teams made a living by hunting exotic beasts in the Star Realm to obtain materials and special ability seeds.

The danger was quite high, but the returns were even higher.

Kai-ge's mentor had rich experience in teaching students, having taught for ten years.

Lin Ye's mentor was once a somewhat famous professional player.

After breaking through to the seventh-tier at 32, he transitioned to a club coach.

Yes, the club was owned by his family.

Professional ability user competitions have been popular since the appearance of ability users on Blue Star, generating huge traffic.

Lin Ye chose Jiang Xiaoyu partly for this reason; he wanted to become a professional in the future if given the chance.

With his stat panel, as long as he worked steadily, he would eventually become a legend.

The skill points for the proficiency panel came from training.

If he pursued other professions and struggled for a living, it would hinder his progress.

Professional players only needed to train hard and occasionally play a match to earn generous rewards.

Professional players enjoyed extraordinary popularity in every country on Blue Star, not only because of the watchability of professional matches but also because it concerned the interests of humanity.

Due to the alliance among the various races in the Galaxy, conflicts were relatively restrained, and disputes were settled through competitive duels.

Conflicts often erupted, especially regarding the distribution of Star Realm interests.

Professional players were not the only source of combat power for duels; others, such as the military, universities, or independent powerhouses, also contributed, but they were the primary source of combat power.
