Nie Rong didn't refute what he heard. He had considered every possibility, but never expected the problem to lie with Lin Tian.

Now, he finally understood why Yuanming Martial Saint had said those words to him before.

"Nie Rong, don't be fooled by Lin Tian's outwardly obedient demeanor. This kid is very cunning, slyly cunning."

He admitted that everything Yuanming Martial Saint had said was true; Lin Tian was indeed very cunning.

He had said to let the four of them propose their conditions, and this was the trap he had dug.

Once he stated Dragon Soaring University's conditions, Lin Tian would jump out and refute them, prompting the other three to offer better terms.

This way, Lin Tian would have more options and might even propose his own conditions.

"Lin Tian, we need to discuss this matter with the school again. Can you give us some time?"

Nangong Ya and the other two approached to ask for Lin Tian's opinion.

"Of course, please take your time, teachers."

Lin Tian smiled.

"Thank you!"

Nangong Ya and the other two thanked him and then each found a corner to contact their respective school's higher-ups.

Lin Tian was not only an Extreme Martial Artist but also possessed such heaven-defying talent.

This forced them to re-evaluate the conditions they had offered Lin Tian.

After a long discussion, the three approached Lin Tian again.

"Who wants to go first?"

The three exchanged glances, none willing to state their school's offer first.

The conditions offered by their respective schools were negotiable, with a certain limit. If one spoke first, they would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

Even if they revised their offers later, it would leave a bad impression on Lin Tian.

As for Nie Rong, they had already ruled him out; the conditions offered by their schools were all better than his.

After a long stalemate, Nangong Ya stepped forward first.

"Since no one else is willing, I'll go first and state Magic City University's conditions."

"Magic City University has added two conditions to Dragon Soaring University's offer."

"The first condition is that Magic City University will not assign you any specific teacher, nor will we force you to find one. You can cultivate according to your own wishes."

"Periodically, powerful individuals from the Extraordinary Realm and Saint Realm will return to Magic City University. If you encounter any problems then, you can directly seek them out."

"The second condition is that you will have absolute freedom at Magic City University. As long as you complete the credit requirements for each grade, you can act as you please or leave Magic City University."

When Nangong Ya presented these two conditions, Gu Yao and Yin Tinglian clearly panicked.

They hadn't expected Nangong Ya to drop such a bombshell right from the start. The conditions she proposed were essentially their last resort.

"I have noted Magic City University's conditions."

Lin Tian nodded and then looked at Gu Yao and Yin Tinglian.

"Teachers, please state your offers."

"Ancient Capital University's conditions are similar to Magic City University's, but we cannot grant you absolute freedom. It is too dangerous outside the Ancient Capital, and we must ensure your safety."

Gu Yao said. Outside the Ancient Capital lay Earth's largest Demonic Beast mountain range, inhabited by many terrifying Demonic Beasts.

"Jiangnan University's offer is the same, except that the condition regarding a teacher has been changed to a Vice Principal, who is a Martial Saint, as your mentor."

"That Vice Principal is quite strict."

Yin Tinglian smoothly stated Jiangnan University's conditions.

"However, Jiangnan University has a unique advantage that no other university possesses, which might interest you, Lin Tian."

Yin Tinglian changed her tone, immediately piquing Lin Tian's interest.

"Teacher Yin, please continue!"

"Jiangnan is famous for its beautiful women, and Jiangnan University is no exception. If you were to join Jiangnan University, Lin Tian, imagine how many would fall for you."

"Yin Tinglian, you are despicable!"

Gu Yao exclaimed angrily. They were in a competition, and Yin Tinglian was resorting to such underhanded tactics.

"Speaking of beautiful women, I don't think Magic City University is any less impressive."

At this moment, Nangong Ya chuckled softly.

"Lin Tian, the number one prodigy of Magic City. Nangong Qingwan, who is in the same year as you, happens to be my niece. She is known as the most beautiful woman in Magic City."

"Hmph, isn't my Yin family's Yin Yingyu also the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan!"

Suddenly, the serious university competition devolved into a competition of beauties.

Gu Yao and Nie Rong searched their minds but couldn't find any women who could rival Nangong Qingwan and Yin Yingyu.

Lin Tian looked at Nangong Ya with a strange expression. He found it odd that this gentle woman would argue with Teacher Yin from Jiangnan University.

This Teacher Nangong's gentle demeanor seemed entirely fake.

Seeing the situation heading in the wrong direction, Lin Tian quickly spoke up to stop it.

"Ahem, Teachers, please don't argue."

"I, Lin Tian, would never choose a place just because it has more beautiful women. I'm not that kind of person."

Hearing Lin Tian say this, Nie Rong and Gu Yao felt a glimmer of hope.

"It's just that compared to the conditions offered by Magic City University, the other three universities don't quite meet my expectations."

"I yearn for freedom more, and I don't have many requirements for teachers. I prefer to study on my own."

The moment Lin Tian said this, the four of them knew Lin Tian's choice.

"Teacher Nangong, I want to join Magic City University."

Lin Tian looked at Nangong Ya with a serious expression. This was his choice; he would be in Magic City for the next four years, or even longer.

"Welcome, welcome!"

Nangong Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

"To get an Extreme Martial Artist like you is also the wish of many teachers at Magic City University."

This year, the Imperial Capital had produced too many prodigies, especially that Dongfang Huang, who possessed the strength to crush other heavenly talents.

Neither Magic City, Ancient Capital, nor Jiangnan City could compete with him. The martial university competition for the next four years would inevitably be Dongfang Huang's stage alone.

The only hope was to secure Lin Tian, this Extreme Martial Artist.

As long as Lin Tian's cultivation could be improved, Dongfang Huang would no longer be a threat.

"The three of you, Lin Tian will be taken in by our Magic City University!"

Nangong Ya said with a smile to Nie Rong and the other two.

Getting this Extreme Martial Artist, Lin Tian, was definitely something to brag about.

"Congratulations..."

The three said reluctantly.

They had all come with missions, but in the end, Magic City University had still managed to recruit Lin Tian.

"Heh heh!"

Nangong Ya was overjoyed. The four major universities had all put in a lot of effort to compete for Lin Tian, this Extreme Martial Artist, and in the end, they had still been taken in by Magic City University.

Just as Lin Tian had decided to join Magic City University, the door to the room was pushed open, and Yuanming Martial Saint walked in, looking dejected.

"I knew you wouldn't choose Dragon Soaring University, even if the conditions were the same."

"I like freedom, and the environment in the Imperial Capital cannot give me freedom."

"When I have enough strength, I will consider going to the Imperial Capital."

Lin Tian looked at Yuanming Martial Saint calmly. If even the Imperial Court couldn't restrain the aristocratic families of the Imperial Capital, how could he possibly go there?

Yuanming Martial Saint looked at Lin Tian for a long time, then said helplessly.

"Then let it be. Do you have anything else to pack? If not, you can continue to recuperate here for two more days, and then head to Magic City once your injuries have healed."

"I will accompany you."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid not finding it next time.
