17: Apply to university

After Wen Yu perfunctorily finished with everyone, she found an excuse and left the classroom with Bai Mo.

Many people looked at Bai Mo, who was leaving with Wen Yu, and many privately said that Bai Mo's ancestral grave was emitting green smoke.

Of course, most people were secretly envious, jealous, and hateful.

There were also some hot-headed individuals who tried to make a move, but they were all forcefully suppressed by Wen Yu.

Not to mention the Wen family's influence, Wen Yu, with her S-rank spiritual power talent, now had a spiritual power index exceeding 1000 points, which was ten times higher than Bai Mo's!

Just based on her own strength, Wen Yu was a "tyrant" in the school; a few recently Awakened "college students" might not even be a match for the unawakened Wen Yu.

What's more, this applied to "classmates" who hadn't even Awakened their Blade Spirit yet.

Wen Yu and Bai Mo's homes were in the same direction.

Well, to be precise, they were next-door neighbors.

Of course, it wasn't Wen Yu "lowering her status"; rather, Bai Mo rented one of the properties under Wen Yu's name.

It was right next door to Wen Yu's, and Wen Yu rented it to him at a "bargain price."

Bai Mo wasn't one to stand on ceremony; he directly took advantage of such a good deal.

"What do you think of Beiling Academy?" Wen Yu asked Bai Mo on the way home.

"Beiling Academy, huh..." Bai Mo pondered for a moment: "I'm not sure if I can get in..."

Here, we need to talk about the background of this world.

This world is divided into four major continents: Huazhou, Xiazhou, Meizhou, and Yingzhou.

The countries in Huazhou and Xiazhou are called Dragon Nation.

The country in Meizhou is called Eagle Nation.

The country in Yingzhou is called Sakura Nation.

Beiling Academy is one of the two major academies in Dragon Nation.

The other one is called Nanhua Academy.

Beiling Academy is in Huazhou, where Bai Mo is located, and Nanhua Academy is in Xiazhou.

As a top academy, its requirements are naturally very high.

Wen Yu, needless to say, would be eagerly sought after, even if it meant offering incentives.

But Bai Mo was a different story; with dual C-rank talents, he didn't even meet the minimum B-rank requirement.

As for academics... perhaps he could apply for a liberal arts class.

However, in this world where strength is respected... martial arts is paramount!

Wen Yu's grandfather was one of Dragon Nation's Protector Envoys.

He was a powerful figure with A-rank spiritual power and an S-rank Blade Spirit, whose spiritual power index was said to have exceeded 100 million.

Here's an interesting point: aside from specialized testing, no one knows your exact spiritual power index, but if you release it, others can roughly sense and estimate your spiritual power index.

Therefore, without fighting, you might not know how strong others are.

This also resulted in relatively less crime in this world.

After all, in a world of martial might, law enforcement agencies are more violent, and at the same time, if you commit a crime, you never know if an old man might suddenly appear and subdue you with one hand.

"Give it a try! Beiling Academy is close, after all, it's right here in Huazhou..." Wen Yu pursed her lips and said to Bai Mo.

"Alright!" Bai Mo nodded. He'd give it a shot; it didn't cost anything anyway, and he also hoped he could get into either North Mausoleum or Nanhua Academy.

Seeing Bai Mo agree, Wen Yu's face immediately lit up with a smile.

She also planned in her heart that if Bai Mo couldn't get in, she would make a demand to Beiling Academy: she would enroll, and Bai Mo would be included as a bonus!

Forget Bai Mo's C-rank talent; even E-rank talent could get in.

It's just supporting one more person; an academy like North Mausoleum wouldn't care at all, and if you're not qualified and force your way in, you'd bear the consequences yourself.

Wen Yu believed that Bai Mo would never give up.

She had witnessed his tenacity and perseverance.

He could do what ordinary people couldn't and endure what ordinary people couldn't... Wen Yu had seen Bai Mo break through his limits more than once.

Bai Mo's talent wasn't bad either; C-rank was already considered average, neither high nor low.

Who knows, with some opportunities, he might still be able to catch up!

Most importantly, did he have the heart for it!

What pleased Wen Yu was that Bai Mo did!

"Tonight, same old routine~ I'm coming over for dinner!" Wen Yu said to Bai Mo when they reached their doorstep.

"Alright!" Bai Mo nodded, and they each entered their homes, waving to each other as they closed their doors.

Bai Mo could cook, and his skills were quite good, so Wen Yu, who lived next door and couldn't cook, simply came over to Bai Mo's for dinner every day.

As for chefs and servants... Wen Yu had long since become "independent."

"Phew~" At this moment, Bai Mo sat on the sofa, finally having the chance to properly study this so-called Blade Spirit System.

It was a "mute" system; Bai Mo could only research it himself.

After much research, he found that besides the panel, a built-in storage space, and a mall function, it had no other features.

The only currency was source points, and he knew how to acquire them.

Bai Mo took one look at the items in the mall and closed it.

He craved them, but he had no money, and looking at them only made him feel bad.

Especially since they could improve talent! He was currently B-rank, and upgrading to A-rank required 100,000 source points!

He looked at the large "0" on his source points display and sighed.

Earning source points was a long and arduous journey.

Bai Mo had the system's helpful information, so he naturally knew how to acquire source points.

First, let's make dinner...

Bai Mo began to cook...

Knock knock knock~

The door was knocked.

"Come in!" Bai Mo shouted.

Beep~ The sound of fingerprint verification. Wen Yu opened the door herself and came in.

Wen Yu, dressed in ordinary home clothes, looked even more like a girl next door.

"Hehe~ It smells so good!" Wen Yu entered with a smile, sniffing the aroma wafting from the kitchen. She curiously leaned towards the kitchen doorway, peering inside: "What are we eating today?"

"Your favorite garlic spareribs... sweet and sour pork... plus scrambled eggs with tomatoes... and blanched greens with minced garlic..." Bai Mo said without turning his head: "The rice is ready, go serve yourself first! The dishes will be ready soon!"

"Okay!" Wen Yu smiled as she watched Bai Mo diligently cook. After watching for a while, she finally moved to serve the rice.

A moment later.

"It smells so good! I'm going to dig in!" Wen Yu sat at the dining table, looking at the table full of delicious dishes, licking her lips greedily, and started eating!

After dinner, Wen Yu voluntarily washed the dishes. The two sat on the living room sofa, watching TV casually and chatting. After about half an hour, Wen Yu went home.

They began their cultivation for the day.

This was Bai Mo and Wen Yu's daily routine.

The next day.

Today was the day to start applying for universities, and also the day universities began "proactive recruitment."

During yesterday's Awakening ceremony, many universities were present. They had obtained everyone's information, and from that moment on, they had already begun "dividing up" the students.

As soon as Wen Yu arrived at school, her homeroom teacher called her away.

Bai Mo didn't need to think; it must be North Mausoleum and Nanhua jointly offering Wen Yu special recruitment.

Wen Yu went to "negotiate" with North Mausoleum and Nanhua Academy.

Bai Mo shook his head. He didn't know if any universities had proactively contacted him, so he could only fill out the application himself first.

"North Mausoleum and Nanhua..." Bai Mo directly filled in these two schools. After thinking for a moment, he also filled in two second-tier universities in Huazhou as a backup.

Bai Mo finished filling it out but didn't submit it, waiting for a moment.

Soon, Wen Yu returned and sat next to Bai Mo: "How is it? What did you apply for?"

As she spoke, Wen Yu leaned over to look at the application form on Bai Mo's desk.

"These schools... you should submit it first! Let's see~" Wen Yu said to Bai Mo.

"Alright!" Bai Mo nodded, submitted the application form, and then turned back to ask Wen Yu: "Which school did you choose?"

"North Mausoleum, of course~" Wen Yu smiled: "The conditions offered by North Mausoleum and Nanhua were pretty much the same, so I chose North Mausoleum."

"Hmm~ Not bad! They're pretty much the same anyway." Bai Mo nodded and smiled. The faculty, cultivation resources, and so on were quite similar between the two.

However, the high-level secret realms owned by the schools did show a slight bias.

Speaking of secret realms, they are places to acquire resources.

Materials obtained from secret realms are supplied to the Blade Spirit. Naturally, secret realms are also divided by attribute.

North Mausoleum's secret realms, besides the regular ones, had a greater abundance of Ice-type and Lightning-type elements in their special elemental realms.

Nanhua's, on the other hand, had a greater abundance of Wind-type and Light-type elements.

This also gave applicants a preference.
