You Should Just Give Me Your Talent.

Eight hours later, the green Iron Mine Card merged into the Small World.

The green mine card was quite substantial for Zhang Zhi's current Small World.

The area of the Small World didn't increase much, but its original thickness of around two hundred meters had now become nearly six hundred meters, a full three times thicker.

Zhang Zhi wasn't surprised by the changes in the Small World.

What surprised him was the speed at which his Small World melted this Card!

The Mental Power Value measured during the Assessment was thirty-seven points.

It's important to know that under normal circumstances, a World Master with a Mental Power Value of around one hundred points would take about twenty to twenty-four hours for their Card Slot to 'digest' a green Card!

He only had thirty-seven points of Mental Power, yet it only took eight hours to 'digest' a green Card!

Just how many more surprises would his Mental Power bring him?!

The next day, after resting and fully recovering his Mental Power, Zhang Zhi began merging Cards step by step.

The first one was naturally the Dragon Gate Card. He was afraid he might change his mind, so he chose this Card first. The Dragon Gate Card consumed quite a bit of Mental Power; it took him a full thirteen points to refine it.

After that came seven Gray Fish Cards.

After attempting to upgrade the fish's rank, he found that Fish Cards didn't have the limitations of Human Cards.

After the Gray Fish Cards were upgraded to White, the scattered schools of fish in the Card image became dense swarms.

This indicated that his Mental Power could increase the number of fish.

After upgrading one, he stopped and began refining Human Cards instead.

The first green Human Card consumed five points of Mental Power and an hour and a half of time.

This was another value far lower than that of other humans.

Zhang Zhi had long since become numb to the abnormality of his Mental Power.

The five Human Cards consumed twenty-five points of his Mental Power.

For Zhang Zhi at this moment, his Mental Power was truly insufficient. He had a large number of Cards waiting for him to refine, but his Mental Power was used up.

It was like preparing for that thing for a full hour of foreplay, only to finish in just one minute. It would be strange not to feel uncomfortable.

What else could he do? If he wanted to refine Cards, he would just have to wait another day.

With his Mental Power used up, he couldn't possibly just lie in the hotel all day, could he?

He had originally wanted to go to the school to find the Principal and learn about Seven Dragons Academy, but the reality was, he couldn't find the Principal at all.

After going to the Principal's office twice and not finding the Principal, he could only return disappointed and instead went to the library to look up information on Seven Dragons Academy.

As he was finding the Local Gazetteer for Seven Dragons Prefecture in the library and preparing to find a seat to read it carefully, a voice came from beside him:

"Zhang Zhi, which school did you sign with? I heard you seemed to do quite well on the test. How come you're not on the list for The Five Great Schools??"

Zhang Zhi turned his head and saw it was Li Yuan, his former deskmate.

This guy was a Family Disciple, a collateral branch of a Lesser Thousand World World Master.

Zhang Zhi had a good impression of him. Given his background, if he had wanted to make things difficult for him, Zhang Zhi's past three years definitely wouldn't have been easy.

Or rather, the fact that someone of his status was willing to be his deskmate had actually helped him avoid quite a few things.

So he raised the book in his hand and said, "That day, a teacher from a school in Seven Dragons Prefecture happened to be here. They saw I had good talent and recruited me to their school."

"It's just that I don't know much about their school, so I came here to find some information."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuan's eyes: "Seven Dragons Prefecture? That's the capital of our Tianxing Domain. The schools there definitely won't be worse than The Five Great Schools. No wonder I didn't see you choose The Five Great Schools."

He remembered something, chuckled, and said to Zhang Zhi, "Yesterday, everyone was saying you did very well on the test, right? As soon as today's Honor Roll came out, some people saw you weren't on The Five Great Schools' admission list and said a lot of strange things."

Zhang Zhi shook his head: "Let them say what they like, I'm used to it by now."

Hearing this, Li Yuan looked Zhang Zhi up and down: "Zhang Zhi, you have such great composure. By the way, which school did you actually sign with?"

Zhang Zhi was looking through the table of contents of the Seven Dragons Prefecture Local Gazetteer. Hearing Li Yuan's question, he replied casually, "Seven Dragons Academy. That recruiting teacher said that school ranks in the top three in the entire Domain."

"You know I'm from an Orphanage, so I don't know if that teacher was telling the truth or not. That's why I came here to check the Seven Dragons Prefecture Local Gazetteer to see if I could find anything."

When Li Yuan heard the words "Seven Dragons Academy," his eyes widened, and he looked Zhang Zhi up and down again with an incredible gaze.

He watched Zhang Zhi, who was flipping through the Seven Dragons Prefecture Local Gazetteer in his hand, his eyes darting around for a while. Then he pulled Zhang Zhi and walked towards the library exit, saying, "Oh, how could you find detailed information about Seven Dragons Academy in the Seven Dragons Prefecture Local Gazetteer?"

"Come on, I know where it is, I'll take you."

Zhang Zhi knew that as a Family Disciple, Li Yuan knew many things he didn't. If he said a certain place had something, it was very likely that place really did.

He followed Li Yuan, and they hadn't gone far when a group of people walked towards them.

He looked up and saw that they were actually his former classmates. Looking at the group of classmates he encountered, Zhang Zhi immediately understood.

He chuckled softly at Li Yuan's back.

It seemed Seven Dragons Academy really did have some reputation in the Tianxing Domain. Li Yuan had specifically brought him here, wanting him to vent his frustration.

As expected, someone in front saw Zhang Zhi, and one person ran over, pretending to be concerned and said, "Oh, Zhang Zhi, we all heard that your Small World development is excellent. You actually opened up a Small Small World! They say you're the first in Yicheng in a few thousand years."

"But why aren't you on The Five Great Schools' signing list?"

"Did another school offer you a better signing bonus, so you chose them instead?"

Another person nearby chimed in, "Zhang Zhi, I have to say, that's really short-sighted of you."

"Even though you're already a Small World World Master, you need to understand that if you get into one of The Five Great Schools, you'll almost certainly be able to advance to a Small World within three to five years."

"You didn't choose The Five Great Schools; instead, you picked another one. In just a few years, those of us who got into The Five Great Schools will surpass you."

"How should I put this? As an orphan, you can only see immediate benefits. Ultimately, you can't really be blamed, but it's a shame about your talent, which only appears once or twice in Yicheng every few thousand years."

A few people nearby also pretended to be regretful, saying:

"Yeah, what a waste!"

"This is talent that only comes along once every few thousand years."

"I wish I had your talent."

Zhang Zhi didn't say a word the whole time, just watched Li Yuan, who was trying to suppress a laugh nearby, with a blank expression.

This kid Li Yuan was truly devious. After waiting for that group to chatter on and on, he suddenly turned to Zhang Zhi, feigning concern, and asked, "Zhang Zhi, what did you say the school you signed with was called again?"

The others didn't realize Li Yuan was setting a trap for them and chimed in, pressing for an answer, "Yeah, Zhang Zhi, what's the name of the school you signed with?"

"Right, you've already signed, there's no point regretting it. If it's not too far away, we can even visit each other sometime."

Zhang Zhi glanced at the group, caught a glimpse of Li Yuan already snickering to the side, and then said expressionlessly, "You're asking about the school I signed with?"

"I admit I'm short-sighted, and the school I signed with really isn't that great. It's called Seven Dragons Academy. I heard it's only ranked in the top three in the Tianxing Domain."

"Have you guys ever heard of this school?"
