71: Chapter 71 A ticket that even mythical-level skills can't buy? Sorry, I refuse!

Zhang Jian was not carried away by the joy.

Instead, he asked a question that had been puzzling him.

"After all, I only have a common profession. Aren't you worried that your investment in the future will go down the drain?"

The Reception Envoy was somewhat surprised.

But he still patiently explained.

"You are just a common Swordsman, yet you unleashed combat power that exceeds that of a Divine-Grade profession. Isn't that all the more reason for us to cultivate you vigorously?"

"Besides."

A flash of confidence crossed his eyes.

"As a specially recruited Elite Student, you will receive top-tier resources provided by the Academy and a personalized cultivation plan."

"You only need to timely update your various attributes and changes in skills and equipment at the Academy to enjoy the best enhancement and strengthening routes designed for you by experts in every field."

"Whatever type of skill you want, the Academy provides it for free!"

"Whatever profession of teammates you want, the Academy will match them for you!"

"Whatever kind of equipment you want, the Academy will acquire it for you, and there are even specialized master craftsmen to forge it for you!"

"Any shortcomings you have, the Academy will make up for them in a timely manner."

"Your specific strengths, the Academy will help you further strengthen and amplify them!"

"In other words, Galaxy Academy will center around you personally, ensuring that every step you take is on the most perfect path of improvement!"

He finished speaking in one breath, waiting to see Zhang Jian's expression of shock and surprise.

However.

Zhang Jian took a deep breath.

Sure enough.

It was just as he had guessed.

Such a super-powerful institution, sitting on the most top-tier resources.

Naturally, it would believe it could provide students with the best conditions and the best advice.

Even to the point of… control!

Although this kind of control was essentially good, and no student should refuse it.

But Zhang Jian was different.

The mysterious scabbard had brought him a Heaven-Defying talent.

At the same time, it also made him shoulder a secret that he could not frankly tell anyone.

Li Zhihai was just curious about the scabbard, thinking it might be a treasure, and was able to use his authority to attack Zhang Jian repeatedly.

If the Heaven-Defying nature of the scabbard were placed under the spotlight and completely exposed.

I fear it wouldn't just be small fries like Li Zhihai.

I estimate that many second-transition, third-transition, or even more powerful figures would immediately seize Zhang Jian to carefully explore the secrets of the scabbard.

His father's disappearance was still vivid in his mind, and Zhang Jian had to be on guard.

Firming his resolve once again, his eyes showed some regret.

But he still spoke decisively.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I cannot accept!"

Ye Xun looked at Zhang Jian in astonishment.

"Xiao Jian, you didn't misspeak, did you?"

"It's a special recruitment quota for Galaxy Academy! If this were outside, even for one hundred million or even more money, people would be scrambling to sign up!"

Ye Xun was extremely agitated and completely unable to understand why Zhang Jian would refuse.

However, his words aroused the dissatisfaction of the Reception Envoy.

"Please do not insult our Galaxy Academy."

"One hundred million?"

"Even ten billion wouldn't be enough to buy a selection quota for our Academy."

"Not to mention, a special recruitment quota for the Elite Student level!"

His eyes were proud.

"A few years ago, the Sword Master of Japan personally came forward, wanting their strongest examinee of that year, a candidate with the Divine-Grade profession [Eight-Headed Sword Saint], to be an exception and join Galaxy Academy despite failing by only one point."

"For this, they even brought out three Mythical-Rank skill books and various additional conditions."

"Do you know how we responded?"

Zhang Jian and Wang Fei shook their heads.

Ye Xun's eyes were blank, and he followed suit, shaking his head in a daze.

Mythical-Rank skills—what could you not accomplish if you brought those out?

A flash of sharpness crossed the eyes of the Reception Envoy.

"Our answer was, no!"

"The principles and bottom line of Galaxy cannot be desecrated by anyone!"

"We not only refused directly, but also blacklisted Japan, and for five years, no examinee from that country was allowed to enter Galaxy."

His words were like thunder, leaving several people deeply shocked.

"Now, you should know the weight of our Galaxy, right?"

"If we say that regular students can at least become powerful figures in one area and the backbone of their countries in the future."

"Then for Elite Students, a third-transition Rank 90 is not the limit, and being a Nation-Suppressing War God is not a fantasy!"

The Reception Envoy coaxed patiently, his eyes subtly filled with encouragement.

He seemed to be waiting for Zhang Jian to change his mind.

Wang Fei was trembling with excitement.

My God!

The power of this Galaxy Academy is actually so great that it can step on the face of a country, and the other party can only obediently accept their fate.

If one could become a regular student there, it would truly be a meteoric rise!

Although he envied Zhang Jian's treatment, he did not speak up.

He believed that Zhang Jian had his own considerations.

As a brother, he only needed to stand by his side and silently support him.

Feeling Wang Fei's trust, Zhang Jian also felt a warmth in his heart.

"I highly respect the strength of Galaxy Academy, but I believe that maintaining personal privacy and the independence of one's own development is also very important. Forgive me, I cannot accept the conditions of being monitored and controlled."

The Reception Envoy shook his head, showing regret.

"I don't really want to live a life that has been arranged by others!"

His words were categorical, making the Reception Envoy look at him differently.

"I hope you won't regret this decision in the future."

Zhang Jian smiled confidently.

"I never regret."

Seeing the Reception Envoy turn to leave, Zhang Jian asked again.

"If it's just a regular student, I won't be controlled, right?"

The Reception Envoy's body paused for a moment.

"Of course."

"Ordinary regular students are not qualified to enjoy personalized customized plans."

Zhang Jian nodded.

"Alright then, I can participate in your selection."

The Reception Envoy turned his head, looking at Zhang Jian with some confusion, but still nodded.

"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I will come to pick you up."

After saying that.

His body suddenly turned into wisps of starlight and disappeared right in front of them.

This scene left Zhang Jian deeply shocked.

This strength was truly terrifying!

To come whenever he wanted and leave whenever he pleased.

Did that not mean that if he wanted his life, it would just be a thought for the other party?

Zhang Jian suddenly understood.

In this world where everyone changes professions, Rank and equipment are just the most basic survival guarantees against monsters.

His current strength, let alone compared to such a powerful person.

Even someone like Li Zhihai, if Ye Xun hadn't stepped in to support him, could have easily suppressed him.

And the Reception Envoy's bizarre ability pushed the boundaries of what he could imagine.

Zhang Jian smiled self-deprecatingly.

His little tricks of cross-level combat and instant-killing monsters had no chance to be used in the face of an absolute gap in strength!

A Mythical-Rank talent also needs time to grow.

But the other party was already a Mythical-Rank figure!

By the window where the starlight dissipated, Zhang Jian's eyes gradually became firm.

The mysterious scabbard left by his father could be considered a smooth starting point for him.

But if he could not convert it into real strength as soon as possible, he would eventually become a pawn in someone else's hands.

"For tomorrow's selection, I will go all out!"

Zhang Jian clenched his fists secretly.

Although Wang Fei didn't know what happened, he also shouted passionately.

"Galaxy Academy, get ready to welcome the shock brought by our brothers!"
