85: Which university are you going to choose?

“Alright, it’s over.”

Soon, the results of the final chaotic battle were out.

A Skill Card Master, Jiang Lingyun, and a chubby Shield Card Master wearing glasses.

As this chaotic battle concluded, everyone began to disperse.

The round of sixteen battles would have to wait until tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan, and Zhou Dongshan slowly got up and walked outside.

“Still, I need to make cards.”

Walking along the road, Jiang Yuan shook his head, feeling a bit displeased.

“Or upgrade cards.”

With Nezha as a precedent, although the effects of those white quality cards were good, they couldn't compare to Nezha at all.

Jiang Yuan naturally found this disparity a bit hard to accept.

However, it was a good thing that these Five Element spells, plus the cards made from wind, lightning, and ice attributes, could all have their skill strength increased by improving the card's quality.

But the problem was, even if a blue quality Skill Card consumed less Star Power than an equipment card, it still wasn't something a Star Epoch Middle Stage like Jiang Yuan, who was almost at the Star Epoch Late Stage, could play with.

In this situation, he either had to make other cards, or he could ignore it for now, let Nezha do his thing, and wait until his own strength improved.

It was just that seeing Nezha fight so excitedly made his own hands itch.

If he was going to make cards, he might as well improve his own combat level.

After all, these cards in Jiang Lingyun's hands would definitely perform better than in his own.

To be fair, the cards in Jiang Lingyun's hand, in Jiang Yuan's opinion, were not as good as the ones he made.

But even so, Jiang Yuan still couldn't beat Jiang Lingyun in a Skill Card Master duel.

Jiang Lingyun was much stronger than Jiang Yuan in both the timing of card releases and the ability to exploit weaknesses.

This was also why Jiang Yuan ultimately chose to use Nezha to resolve the situation.

No choice, he really couldn't win.

Jiang Yuan sighed. As expected, even with Nezha, if he wanted to have fun, he still needed to practice.

“What's wrong with you?”

Hearing Jiang Yuan sigh, Mu Qianshan asked him with some surprise.

Hadn't he already advanced to the top sixteen? What was there to sigh about?

“Nothing. By the way, which school are you planning to choose?” Jiang Yuan shook his head, changing the subject.

“I don't know yet.”

“What about you?” Jiang Yuan then looked at Zhou Dongshan and asked.

“I probably can't meet the requirements of the top academies.”

Zhou Dongshan shook his head, speaking with a bitter tone.

He was quite self-aware; he didn't particularly stand out in either the written or martial tests.

However, being beside Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan, as their teammate, he also knew that he would have been noticed by the admissions officers of the top academies.

After all, with Jiang Yuan, Nezha, and Mu Qianshan performing so outstandingly, how could they not be noticed?

Perhaps they had already received one or two preliminary offers from top academies.

But what about him? Currently, only one admissions officer from a first-class academy had shown interest in him.

And it wasn't even a top-ranked first-class academy.

After that, there were only some second- and third-class academies.

None of the four top academies had sent any news.

He figured it was probably not going to happen.

Zhou Dongshan was a bit disappointed, but he quickly came to terms with it.

His talent was not very good to begin with.

If it weren't for Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan, perhaps even that first-class academy's admissions officer wouldn't have noticed him.

“Work hard. Give it your all in the final comprehensive test. Maybe you can still make a breakthrough.”

Mu Qianshan didn't know how to comfort Zhou Dongshan, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and say.

“I hope so.”

The final comprehensive test was the written test.

After the results of the written test were out, they would be combined with the performance in the first two rounds of the Dongtian Simulation League and the martial test for evaluation.

It was a two-way selection: students first set ten target academies, and then the academies chose the students they favored.

Mutual agreement meant success.

If two or more academies chose the same student, then it would depend on which academy was ranked highest among the student's ten preferred choices.

Of course, if none of the ten preferred academies chose the student, then it would depend on whether any other academies chose that student.

If no one chose him, he would be considered to have failed.

If two or more chose him, then the choice would revert to the student, allowing him to choose an academy again.

So Zhou Dongshan was already very satisfied at this point; at least he had one option.

Generally speaking, academies that send favorable messages to students will include those students in the final selection.

In other words, even if Mu Qianshan listed the names of four top academies first.

Even if the four top academies didn't select him, he would still have a fallback option.

“What about you?”

Mu Qianshan saw a smile appear on Zhou Dongshan's face, then relaxed and turned to ask Jiang Yuan.

“Me? I haven't decided yet.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head; after all, he didn't know much about these academies.

Moreover, it seemed like any of the four top academies would be fine.

After all, they had all sent him messages, indicating that if he chose them, there would be many gifts.

Hmm, all four said the same thing, which was why Jiang Yuan was conflicted.

“Then let's talk about it after this martial test ends. It should be over tomorrow, and tomorrow night you'll receive their scholarship offers tempting you to join their schools.”

Mu Qianshan smiled, and Jiang Yuan understood what Mu Qianshan meant.

Scholarships were not just about money; they also included many other promises.

For example, making cards specifically according to the student's requirements, or providing cards and resources according to the student's requirements, and so on.

However, one point Jiang Yuan cared more about was which school could provide a solution for his myasthenia.

At least he wouldn't have to wait two years.

Although he had now changed his profession to a Skill Card Master, he did have some combat power.

But his slow movement speed and poor athletic ability greatly restricted him.

This was truly a bit uncomfortable.

“Then we'll see. No rush.”

Upon reaching the crossroads, Jiang Yuan waved goodbye to the two and walked towards his home.

At the same time, the people from the four top academies also separated.

However, the moment they separated, all four simultaneously started making phone calls.

“Wang Wenqing, I found a disciple for you, do you want him?”

“Disciple?”

In Zhongyuan Academy, Vice Dean Wang Wenqing was a bit surprised after answering the call.

“What, is there a good seedling this year?”

“But even if there is a good seedling, I don't plan on taking any more disciples.”

Wang Wenqing said, looking at the card in his hand.

A red-framed card with two crossed swords on it.

“No, you're primarily a combatant, he's most suitable for you!”

Liu Shengshan was a bit anxious: “Don't say anything, I've already offered you as a condition. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed!”

“Hey!”

Wang Wenqing was stunned for a moment, just as he was about to say something, Liu Shengshan hung up the phone.

“Alright, fine. Anyway, I'm not planning on taking disciples, I'll just find an excuse later.”

Wang Wenqing smiled, and with a flip of his hand, the card disappeared.
