70: Chapter 70 Trying to lure me with the school beauty? Which strongman couldn't resist such temptation!

In the end, the conditions provided by the various academies were as follows:

A signing fee of 20 million huaxia coins, payable on the same day.

A full set of excellence-grade equipment provided until the second advancement. If growth-type equipment is to be crafted, the school will cover half of the base cost.

Six skill books learnable after Rank 10; the academy provides three Legend-grade and three excellence-grade ones. If all are desired to be excellence-grade, the school will cover half the purchase cost of the remaining three.

Dungeon tickets at a 70% discount, with fees refunded upon clearing the Difficult difficulty.

Moreover, these were just the conditions to recruit Wang Fei.

As for Zhang Jian's conditions, they were directly raised by another level!

The signing fee was doubled directly.

All skill books provided will be Legend-grade!

Every 10 Ranks, the school will provide a full set of Legend-grade equipment, or custom-made growth-type excellence-grade equipment!

For in-school dungeon tickets, you only need to pay 10% of the cost price!

Zhang Jian and the other only did a rough calculation before getting the answer.

This was already equivalent to at least 40 to 60 million in benefits!

There were also other regular benefits for entering the academy, as well as priority in choosing mentors and so on, making it even harder to calculate.

Wang Fei's eyes lit up with excitement, and he wanted to agree immediately.

But he was pulled back by Zhang Jian.

"Thank you for your kindness, teachers. We will consider it."

Professor Hai Dawei grew anxious.

"Whatever other conditions you have, you can name them, and we will absolutely satisfy them."

Another middle-aged beautiful woman also chimed in.

"That's right, Student Zhang Jian, speak up boldly if you have any requests!"

She was the recruitment teacher representative from the Elemental Temple.

Besides these, she had even hinted secretly just now.

Their academy was a paradise for Mages, possessing the most beautiful school beauties among all provincial academies, making it the top university in Huaxia for looks.

Zhang Jian, however, expressed complete lack of interest in this.

School beauty?

No matter how beautiful a school beauty is, can she be stronger than oneself?

Can she let me lie back and easily clear a Nightmare-grade dungeon?

Women will only affect the speed at which I swing my sword!

After some consultation, the two also roughly learned the specific situation of the Nine Supreme Academies.

Although each academy had its own specific focus.

For example, the Elemental Temple recruited more Mage-type classes.

It even possessed the only Rank 99, third-advancement Mythic-grade Mage class in Huaxia.

The Shadow Dancer Alliance recruited more Assassin-type and Archer-type classes.

It was known as the paradise for 'Old Sixes'.

Xuanwu Shield Guard Vocational University was the home base for Defense Warriors and Support-type classes.

It was also the school with the strongest interest in Wang Fei.

But in reality, every academy also had other types of classes present.

There were mentors for every single class.

No matter which academy the two went to, they would have the best learning environment to quickly improve their strength.

Professor Hai Dawei even stated that for the two of them, he could specifically recruit mentors suitable for them to become professors at his academy!

In fact.

Just the conditions they currently offered had already far exceeded the duo's imagination.

Zhang Jian also didn't have the intention of holding out for a better price.

It was just that he saw Ye Xun constantly winking at him, as if telling him not to make a decision easily.

So he suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not make a hasty choice.

He simply kept the contact information of the recruitment representative teachers from the Nine Supreme Academies and watched them leave.

Bang!

As soon as the door closed, Wang Fei couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Brother Jian, how are we going to choose in the end?"

Ye Xun gave a mysterious smile.

"The Nine are good, but there might be a surprise later."

Wang Fei's eyes widened.

A choice even better than the Nine?

What kind of surprise could that be!

Right then.

Light suddenly flashed outside the window.

A figure slowly drifted in with the breeze.

Wang Fei was so scared he was about to scream, but he was stopped by Ye Xun.

Looking at the young man surrounded by starlight, he said excitedly,

"Is Your Excellency perhaps from Galaxy Academy?"

The young man was none other than the Reception Envoy from the unified exam site; he was somewhat surprised by Ye Xun's inquiry.

"You know me?"

Ye Xun shook his head.

"Once upon a time, a friend of mine also had such an opportunity."

The Reception Envoy nodded.

"In that case, it'll be easy."

He turned toward Zhang Jian and the other.

"Student Wang Fei, on behalf of Galaxy Academy, I invite you, as one of the outstanding students of Long Province, to participate in the formal academy selection for this term of Galaxy Academy."

Wang Fei's expectant gaze turned into disappointment.

"Just a selection activity, not special recruitment?"

Ye Xun was startled.

My little ancestor!

In his urgency, he pinched him. "Are you crazy? Having the chance to be selected is already an honor!"

"Every year, even the top ten examinees in Long Province don't necessarily get such an opportunity."

The Reception Envoy chuckled.

"This friend is correct."

"Our Galaxy Academy only sends invitations to the top one hundred examinees in the East Asia region every year."

"This year, exactly seventy people in the Huaxia region were invited. Your Long Province has five, which is already the highest number among all provinces."

Wang Fei exclaimed, "That exaggerated?"

"Then what are the benefits of entering your academy?"

The Reception Envoy gave a knowing smile.

"Naturally, there are many benefits."

"First of all, as one of the three Transcendent-grade academies jointly certified by all nations on the Water Blue Planet, we possess supreme privileges in the East Asia region, especially in Huaxia."

"You can enter any dungeon within any Huaxia university for free at any time, without needing tickets or special qualifications."

This point alone made Zhang Jian's heart flutter.

Being able to pass through all kinds of dungeons unimpeded meant that all sorts of vast potential resources could be obtained without any barriers!

Ye Xun's eyes were also filled with amazement.

It might not seem difficult for Professionals to enter dungeons in the early stages.

But as one reaches higher Ranks, various types of dungeons are controlled by large-scale factions.

Entering isn't something that can be done just by spending money.

And the higher the Rank, the more experience is required to level up.

The environment in the wild is complex, and monsters are scattered. If there are no fixed dungeons to grind, wanting to level up is simply harder than reaching the heavens!

For Zhang Jian, this point alone already rivaled all the conditions offered by the previous Nine!

The Reception Envoy looked at Zhang Jian and Ye Xun's reactions and seemed satisfied, then continued.

"Secondly, as an existence that stands above all universities, as long as you become a formal student of the school, you will basically be automatically included in the top-tier talent protection system of Huaxia's [Tianji Pavilion]."

"Regardless of which province or city in Huaxia you go to, you will possess privileges at the level of a third-advancement Professional."

Now, even Ye Xun was curious.

"What privileges?"

The Reception Envoy's tone was calm.

"If you want to use money, you can temporarily apply to mobilize local material aid of no more than 50 million."

"If you seek protection, you can apply for a Professional with a strength no higher than Rank 75 of the third advancement."

Zhang Jian and Wang Fei were instantly dumbfounded.

Ye Xun also had an expression of disbelief.

What kind of god-tier treatment is this?

Such a status is simply more noble than that of a city's local magistrate!

The Reception Envoy's speaking speed became faster and faster.

"As for other materials, as long as you can imagine them, the academy can provide them on demand, even custom-made."

Zhang Jian couldn't help but ask.

"What about growth-type Legend-grade equipment recipes? Or Legend-grade skills suitable for my class—are those possible?"

The Reception Envoy nodded, then shook his head.

"Not just those."

"When you reach the second advancement, whatever top-tier class advancement certificate you want will be available."

"During your time at the academy, upon reaching the second or even third advancement, Epic-grade skills and equipment can all be exchanged using academy points."

"Even..."

He paused intentionally.

"Even Mythic-grade skills that can't be seen in the outside world—as long as you have the strength, the academy can find a way to obtain them."

Wang Fei had already fallen into a state of bewilderment, his gaze vacant.

Does such a place really exist in the world?

Compared to this, the Nine are nothing!

The Reception Envoy walked past him and faced Zhang Jian alone, his eyes carrying a hint of admiration.

"What I just mentioned is only the treatment for ordinary students."

"We have even better treatment provided to elite students and even academy seed-level ones."

"Student Zhang Jian's performance is the strongest in this session of Huaxia, and even the strongest on the Water Blue Planet!"

"As the Vice-Principal of Galaxy Academy, I sincerely invite Student Zhang Jian to enroll as an elite student through special recruitment!"

Ye Xun was so excited he was about to faint; he shook Zhang Jian's hand, wishing he would agree immediately.

A special recruitment spot for Galaxy Academy, allowing one to directly become an elite student.

Even with his broad knowledge, he had never heard of such a thing.

Amidst his pleasant surprise, a trace of unease flashed in Zhang Jian's heart, and he did not agree directly.
