107: Chapter 107 The Dean Arrives in Person! Even Failed Students Can Get Benefits?

Zhang Jian stepped out, and Wang Fei and the other two followed lightly behind him.

The Reception Envoy watched their forms, his eyes instantly shifting from anticipation to excitement.

Only three people had been protected by the Divine Artifact after sustaining fatal injuries, yet Zhang Jian was actually completely unscathed!

It seemed... they had cleared it?

The next moment, a faint, ethereal melody suddenly resonated in the sky.

"Who is singing?"

Sun Yu looked up in curiosity.

Others also looked around subconsciously.

Accompanied by enchanting celestial music, a golden-red beam of light pierced through the clouds and descended straight down.

The clouds churned like boiling water, transforming into a giant eye, calmly gazing down below.

After scanning the area, the eye emitted two rays of light that transformed into two blurry shadows, which gradually revealed themselves.

A Green Luan danced, and a Mysterious Turtle crawled.

The phantoms of the two animals arrived before Zhang Jian and the other three, circling around them as they flew.

"Heavenly Dao blessing!"

Yue Linyuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhu Jiurong was incredibly shocked; he had only spoken casually, but they had actually cleared the Dungeon and even received a Heavenly Dao blessing?

Li Wenzhe stood frozen on the spot, only to be teased by the now-recovered Yue Linyuan.

"Aren't you going to pay respects to your grandfather yet?"

"Oh, right, I just said I was going to make him my big brother."

"In that case, shouldn't you call me... Second Uncle?"

Li Wenzhe's face instantly darkened.

"Go to Hell!"

Kamishiro Chio and Han Xueyao both looked happy.

Zhang Jian had come out safely!

Many students below were seeing the phenomenon of a Heavenly Dao blessing for the first time, their eyes filled with wonder.

Even the Reception Envoy looked somewhat excited.

He was truly a Genius whom he had favored and prepared to recruit as an elite student!

To be able to clear the Dungeon upon activating the Hell-level difficulty for the first time—this was a rare feat.

He was about to step forward to congratulate them when the golden beam of light suddenly shattered, turning into streaks of seven-colored radiance.

The radiance shifted from blurry to clear, then solidified.

Finally, it transformed into four seven-colored staircases that hovered before the four of them.

"Heavenly Dao reward!"

Yue Linyuan was dumbfounded.

"Again?"

Li Wenzhe's vision went dark.

If clearing the Dungeon meant calling him grandfather, then what did he have to call him this time? An ancestor?

"Good, good, good!"

The Reception Envoy clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

His laughter was filled with irrepressible joy.

Seeing that the four of them still seemed a bit confused, the Reception Envoy gestured toward the staircases.

"Go up, young men!"

"Next comes the reward moment!"

Only then did Zhang Jian and the others realize that these staircases were meant for them to climb.

Ever since they emerged from the Star Gate, the Reception Envoy had lifted the restrictions of the Divine Artifact, allowing Wang Fei and the others to return to their normal states.

In this short while, relying on the recovery effects inherent to the Star Gate, they had already recovered to their original state.

"Brother Jian, you go first?"

Zhang Jian waved his hand, "How about we go in the order of who sacrificed themselves earlier?"

Yan Han blushed.

However, his body couldn't wait and took a step forward, stepping onto it abruptly.

A golden light instantly shot up from the staircase, enveloping his body.

It was just that this light seemed to be slowly being digested within his body.

Wei Donglai didn't stand on ceremony and was the second to step up.

Similarly, he also began to absorb the golden light.

After Wang Fei and Zhang Jian stepped onto the staircases, light flowed between the four staircases, connecting them into one.

"There's actually an additional reward for the team!"

The Reception Envoy's eyes were filled with amazement.

He had rarely seen such a situation.

It seemed that the members of this team were not only in sync in their coordination, but their mental states were also remarkably unified.

A long time passed.

The light dissipated, and the staircases vanished.

The four of them opened their eyes one after another.

Everyone's eyes were brimming with surprise and shock.

The impatient Wang Fei was about to speak and share, but with a look from the Reception Envoy, he shut his mouth abruptly.

A realization flashed through Zhang Jian's mind.

It seemed that the effects of this reward only needed to be known by themselves.

Otherwise, it would be easy to be targeted if exposed.

The others also realized this instantly and nodded at the Reception Envoy to express their gratitude.

Although they didn't have to tell others, they certainly had to share among themselves.

But they didn't have time to talk right now.

After clearing the Dungeon, they came down and stood with the others.

The Reception Envoy was radiant.

"Let us welcome the returning heroes—Zhang Jian, Wang Fei, Wei Donglai, and Yan Han."

Clap, clap, clap!

Everyone was applauding desperately, their eyes filled with admiration.

Even Park Jun-ho and Li Wenzhe were the same.

However, the thoughts in their minds were not the same.

One was muttering, "In consideration of my acting, please don't add any more penalties to Dahan Country."

The other was praying silently, "They are busy receiving the Heavenly Dao rewards, they must not have heard my trash talk; I really don't want to acknowledge a grandfather..."

After the applause, which lasted for a full few minutes, ended, the Reception Envoy continued.

"These four are also the top four in this assessment ranking."

"A total of ten people have become official members of Galaxy Academy this year; congratulations!"

"Next, we will distribute the freshman benefits to everyone!"

He didn't seem to avoid the presence of the others, which surprised Zhang Jian and the others.

Not long after the Reception Envoy finished speaking, the wind suddenly picked up.

Zhang Jian felt a chill and found it strange.

Was it going to rain?

Looking up, he saw a few ice-crystal-like starlight points condensing out of thin air, and ripples like water waves appeared in the air.

A chubby, ordinary-looking old man appeared as if blown by the wind.

He stepped out from the light in front of the Star Gate and landed in front of everyone with a smile.

The Reception Envoy bowed directly, his eyes respectful.

"Dean!"

The old man waved his hand, bringing up a few wisps of unscattered cold mist.

"How come you're not usually this polite?"

The Reception Envoy chuckled.

"It's just that in front of the young people, I have to show you enough respect."

The old man patted his clothes, and a few grains of stardust as fine as dust fell silently.

He turned to the freshmen, his expression solemn.

"Students, welcome to Galaxy Academy."

"This old man won't ramble about other things; there will be others to brief you."

"I was called here today to do some manual labor."

"Please, everyone, step forward."

Zhang Jian and the other eight looked at the other party's smile and felt a sense of intimacy involuntarily, stepping forward a few steps consciously.

Others looked on with envy.

But they were signaled by the old man, "The others can also stand together, it will be easier for this old man to act."

Park Jun-ho looked blank, "He wants to take action against us?"

Li Wenzhe's eyes were excited.

Sure enough.

He had long heard that on the day of admission to Galaxy Academy, besides the official members having rich freshman benefits, even the rejected students could get some benefits.

Isn't this just that?

He hurried to move his body, came to the front of the crowd, and showed a fawning smile to the old man.

After the students below the stage divided into two distinct groups, the old man nodded.

He waved both hands simultaneously.
