Foundation Establishment Certificate
Facing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's tense, puzzled gazes, Zhang Pianpian began by talking about something else.
"About a few decades ago, universities began cutting back the number of students admitted through the Foundation Establishment Certificate program."
"Do you know why they reduced the numbers?"
Zhang Pianpian did not expect the two of them to answer. She simply continued, "Because there is a limited quota for the total number of Foundation Establishment cultivators each year."
"And reducing the number of university Foundation Establishment slots was meant to free up some Foundation Establishment Certificate quotas for high school students."
Huh?
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were stunned. University students were giving Foundation Establishment Certificate quotas to high school students?
Were they worthy?
As though she had guessed what they were thinking, Zhang Pianpian continued, "Not high school students like us."
Zhang Pianpian pointed upward. "High school students up there."
Seeing their surprise, Zhang Pianpian further explained, "What do you think people above Kunxu Second Layer are like? For instance, those living on Kunxu Fifth Layer, Tenth Layer, or even Twentieth Layer and above..."
"Those Golden Core True Persons, Nascent Soul Great Experts, and even higher up, super-rich figures at the levels of Spirit Transformation and Refining Void—their Immortal Dao wealth is already an astronomical figure... Do you think their children, descendants, and disciples have to take the Gaokao and get into the top ten like we do?"
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen froze slightly. Instinctively, they both felt that high school students up above probably did not need to obediently take the Gaokao like them.
But how exactly did those upper-level high school students enter the Immortal Dao? Other than the Heavenly Genius Class, how did they attend high school and university...? Neither of them could imagine it.
