The remaining three exchanged glances before getting up together.
It wasn't that they genuinely wanted to leave, but rather to pressure Chu Sheng into changing his demands.
This tactic wasn't their first time using it, and it had always been effective.
"If you don't accept the special admission, then just wait and apply later. You won't get any benefits then."
Even a fool would know which choice to make.
"Since we can't come to an agreement, then so be it. I hope fellow student Chu Sheng can find a school he likes."
"Mm, alright."
???
The three were stunned.
Wang He, the leader, directly pushed the door open and left.
He had seen plenty of arrogant individuals before, but Chu Sheng was a first for him.
A student like this, they'd rather not have him.
Seeing this, the remaining three also followed him out.
However, after leaving the Second Middle School, they didn't leave Baian City.
In their eyes, Chu Sheng was simply hoping the last school, Dragon Martial Academy, would agree to his terms.
Was that even possible?
Unless Chu Sheng could showcase even greater value.
Otherwise, Dragon Martial Academy wouldn't agree to his demands.
At that point, they would just need to extend their own olive branch to him.
Inside the principal's office, Wu Qingshan's head was about to explode.
All four institutions had failed to reach an agreement?!
What kind of conditions had Chu Sheng actually proposed? Couldn't he have asked to become the principal?
But after hearing what Chu Sheng had said.
It was simply too wishful thinking!
"The Jingwu Bureau has very strict rules, and the Federal Government has always placed special emphasis on this department. It's not that easy to get someone in!"
"That's why I wanted to try."
"Forget it. Your current talent isn't enough for them to go to such lengths. Change your conditions, and I'll try contacting them again."
"There's still one more."
Not enough talent?
This point did remind Chu Sheng.
Should I then reveal more of my talent later?
At noon, the special recruitment personnel from Dragon Martial Academy arrived.
It was a middle-aged man with a calm expression, Long Liang.
Unlike the previous four, Long Liang did not leave after hearing Chu Sheng's conditions.
Instead, he stated very directly:
"With your talent, you're not worth us doing this."
"Meridian Opening Realm, four heavens and three levels. It doesn't mean you can reach four heavens and three levels in the Qi Sea Realm, or even four months to reach three levels."
Chu Sheng nodded, and then countless lightning sparks surged around him.
"What about now?"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Long Liang's expression instantly changed drastically.
He recalled the breathing technique Chu Sheng had obtained in the league just a few days prior, as mentioned in his profile.
"You've... reached minor accomplishment?!"
"Great Accomplishment."
Upon hearing this, Long Liang's breathing quickened.
To cultivate a Heaven-grade breathing technique to Great Accomplishment in three days.
This was even more terrifying than advancing three minor realms in four days.
The latter could be described as pent-up potential finally unleashed.
But the former was undeniably top-tier talent!
"Is this enough now? If not, I have more."
"It's enough, it's enough... Huh!?"
Long Liang looked at Chu Sheng in astonishment. "What did you say? There's more?"
Chu Sheng nodded. "But since it's enough, I don't think I need to show it, do I? I have to keep some trump cards for myself, right?"
Chu Sheng truly disdained playing the pig to eat the tiger or hiding his strength.
The path of martial arts was about advancing ahead of others.
Why not just kill yourself and see if you could go back?
As for being coveted by others, what was he afraid of with his trump cards?
If pushed too far, he would just directly pull out Past Dreams and blow them up.
An expert in the Ascension Realm, how could they possibly resist?
Long Liang nodded understandingly. "That makes sense."
Originally, he had thought that since Chu Sheng was so late, he might have already been recruited by someone else.
He hadn't expected there to be a pleasant surprise.
Then, he continued, "But I need to ask the school about this matter. Please wait a moment."
After speaking, Long Liang left the room.
Three minutes later.
"We can agree to your conditions, but the Jingwu Bureau has a strict requirement: you must reach the Qi Sea Realm."
Everything else was negotiable, but this realm requirement had no room for maneuver.
No matter how strong their connections were, it wouldn't work.
"This... no problem."
The Qi Sea Realm, at his current pace, he would definitely reach it before the college entrance examination.
It wouldn't take too long.
"There's another thing. You can't hold a nominal position in the Jingwu Bureau, so what about your studies?"
"I'll study on my own and go back for exams later."
"Huh? Are you sure?"
Top academies, besides resources and cultivation techniques, most importantly provided guidance from first-class renowned teachers.
Self-study could lead to many detours.
However, Long Liang quickly relaxed.
This kid could cultivate a Heaven-grade Breathing Technique to Great Accomplishment in three days.
Wasn't that faster than any guidance from a renowned teacher?
This kid didn't need anyone's guidance at all!
Then, Long Liang directly took out the enrollment contract.
"Besides the matter with the Jingwu Bureau, we won't shortchange you on the rewards for special recruitment. Take a look, and if you have no issues, please sign it."
Chu Sheng glanced at it.
Besides the five million Federal Currency enrollment bonus.
They also promised to provide resources and cultivation techniques sufficient for advancing to the Stage Four True Essence Realm.
As well as a reward of 1000 contribution points.
Suddenly, his impression of Dragon Martial University improved quite a bit.
At least they were actually giving it, it just needed to wait until formal enrollment.
After signing the contract, Long Liang handed Chu Sheng a silver waist token.
A black dragon was engraved in the center of the waist token.
"With your talent, you could have been given a gold waist token, but I didn't bring it this time..."
"I'll switch it for you when you return to the school."
"It's nothing."
Chu Sheng didn't pay too much attention. After taking the waist token, he casually rubbed the black dragon on it.
A sense of inexplicable familiarity surged into his heart.
Wings of Death?
Chu Sheng didn't dwell on it.
"One more thing, special recruitment is special recruitment, but it's best if you still participate in the martial arts exam. Your score will be converted into contribution points proportionally."
Contribution points were a common tactic used by higher learning institutions, which could be used to exchange for resources and cultivation techniques.
Chu Sheng nodded, then changed the subject.
"I also have something."
"I killed someone."
Long Liang was confused for a good while, seeing that Chu Sheng wasn't joking.
"It's a small matter. The school will help you clean up the mess."
"Uh, no…"
Chu Sheng explained what happened in the Abyssal Depths.
With a ready-made background, why not use it?
After learning about the incident, Long Liang became furious.
"Damn their mothers, no matter when it is, there's always internal conflict."
"Don't worry about Lingyue Academy. The school will stand up to them. Do they really think they can fly just because they're a top-tier academy?"
"As for the Sun Family…"
Long Liang hesitated for a moment. "This matter doesn't involve them, but they definitely won't let you off so easily."
"It might even be disadvantageous for you."
"Here's what I'll do: I'll deal with them for you, to eliminate future trouble."
