Ye Xin Xia Has Grown Up!

Zhang Xiao Hou said he wanted to join the military, and Song Jie wasn't surprised in the slightest.

"I support you." Song Jie gave Zhang Xiao Hou's shoulder a firm pat.

"Thanks, Brother Jie!" Zhang Xiao Hou nodded, anticipation kindling in his heart.

Bo City had already entered the final stage of its recovery efforts. Once everything was finished, they would also be assigned to other places.

Song Jie was also wondering where he should go by then.

Afterward, Zhang Xiao Hou brought Song Jie to their tent.

"Brother Fan, Brother Jie is back."

After entering the tent, they saw Mo Fan's Father Mo Jiaxing and Ye Xin Xia inside as well.

The three of them looked over too. Mo Fan tactfully went to pour Song Jie some water.

Song Jie looked over the three of them, and his gaze finally settled on Ye Xin Xia.

Two years had passed, and Ye Xin Xia had grown into her features. She looked even more pure and beautiful now.

At that moment, Ye Xin Xia saw Song Jie and smiled at him, nodding.

Song Jie nodded back.

"You're Mo Fan's classmate, right? I heard Mo Fan mention you. Thanks to you, he was able to escape the city." Mo Jiaxing hurried over and thanked him.

"Not at all. The two of us helped each other and managed to escape." Song Jie replied.

He knew Mo Fan wouldn't expose his secret, so he didn't care.

"Brother Jie, have some water." Mo Fan handed the cup to Song Jie. He truly had come to admire Song Jie completely.

Song Jie accepted the cup, then sat down with them to chat and discuss where they would go next.

Bo City's crisis had come to an end.

The Military Mages had also withdrawn from Bo City and begun arranging places for the city's residents to go.

At that moment, Zhan Kong and Teacher Tang Yue came to find Song Jie.

"Song Jie, why not come to Song City? It's actually not bad there. Once you graduate, you can directly join the Judgment Society." Teacher Tang Yue smiled.

"Song Jie, Zhang Xiao Hou told me he's going to join the military. Since you're good brothers, you might as well come along so you can look after each other." Zhan Kong said with a hearty laugh.

The two of them faced off against each other. Clearly, neither wanted to let Song Jie go.

"I've decided. I'm going to Magic City." Song Jie said directly.

"Magic City?" Teacher Tang Yue furrowed her brows. "Are you planning to study at Pearl Academy?"

A disaster had suddenly struck Bo City during this year's college entrance examination, causing many people to lose their chance to take it. They could only wait until next year.

"That's right." Song Jie nodded. He was definitely not going to Pearl Academy just to flirt with girls!

"With your talent, I think Imperial Capital Academy would also be an option." Teacher Tang Yue said.

Song Jie shook his head. "Forget it. Imperial Capital Academy has too many geniuses. I'd rather go to Pearl Academy and be the top student among the chickens."

Teacher Tang Yue and Zhan Kong exchanged a glance. Although they thought Song Jie's decision was a good one, they both knew he was a genuine genius too!

"Indeed. With your strength and talent, you'll receive considerably more cultivation resources at Pearl Academy. It might even be better than Imperial Capital Academy." Teacher Tang Yue nodded thoughtfully.

"What about Mo Fan? Where's he going?" Zhan Kong asked.

"He wants to go to Magic City too. The two of us plan to study at Pearl Academy." Song Jie replied.

"That's a shame. I have a house in Song City. I was planning to let you stay there after you came over. It's right across from my home, so I could look after you too." Teacher Tang Yue said with regret.

"Teacher Tang Yue, is it still too late for me to change my mind?" Song Jie asked.

"You rascal!" Without a word, Zhan Kong came over and smacked Song Jie on the head.

Not long after, the two of them were called away. After all, they still had official duties to attend to.

After Teacher Tang Yue and Zhan Kong left, they exchanged a glance. The latter asked, "Do you think it's him?"

Teacher Tang Yue pondered for a while without answering immediately.

"Back then, I had Song Jie and Mo Fan help Xu Dahuang and the others destroy the Demon Beast entrance. They really did go.

Then Xu Dahuang returned and said someone had helped them, allowing them to destroy the entrance with ease."

Zhan Kong pressed further, "Did he use Light Magic too?"

"Yes, but it wasn't the same as what you described. It was a different kind of Light Magic." Teacher Tang Yue nodded in reply.

Zhan Kong nodded slightly, his gaze deep and thoughtful, as if he were pondering something.

Teacher Tang Yue asked, "Do you think it's Song Jie?"

"I don't know."

Zhan Kong shook his head. It was difficult for him to believe that a student who had just graduated from high school could possess such combat strength!

However, he knew that the person who had intervened wasn't their enemy. That was a good thing for them.

"Then let's observe him for now." Teacher Tang Yue walked toward the military camp ahead.

Zhan Kong followed her.

After Bo City began sending groups of people away, many residents started moving to other cities.

After all, Bo City had gone through this crisis, and it would take time to recover.

They had nowhere to go, so they could only settle in other places and start their lives over.

Song Jie didn't ask for one of the houses they were distributing. With the assets he currently possessed, renting a place in Magic City wasn't a problem, so he chose to leave the opportunity to someone else.

Therefore, he didn't wait for Mo Fan and the others. He came to Magic City alone.

He took a high-speed train and headed toward Magic City.

As he crossed several major cities, he saw different scenery along the way. It was especially magnificent.

After several hours, Song Jie finally arrived at the place where he would live.

"Finally here." After arriving, Song Jie let out a sigh of relief.

In the original story, Mo Fan had missed the college entrance examination and cultivated alone for a year.

If he cultivated on his own, he would definitely fall behind someone who entered a school and cultivated with access to its resources.

If Song Jie wanted to become stronger quickly, he had no choice but to take Pearl Academy's Special Recruitment Exam.

That was also why he had hurried from Bo City to Pearl Academy.

"First, I need to find somewhere to stay." Song Jie thought as he hailed a taxi.

He chose a house near Pearl Academy, which would make things more convenient.

The landlord was easy to negotiate with. After discussing the rent and deposit, Song Jie readily signed the contract.

After eating, he rested for a night. The next day, he rushed to Pearl Academy without stopping.

"Now that's impressive!" Song Jie stood at the entrance of Pearl Academy. Compared with Tian Lan Magic High School's gate, the latter was practically dirt poor!

"Let's go in and ask around first."

Song Jie didn't waste any time. The college entrance examination had already ended, so he needed to act quickly.

Although Pearl Academy wasn't China's top academy, it still ranked among the top five in the country!

An academy like this naturally recruited only the very best and most talented students!

Song Jie wandered around Pearl Academy, and only after a while did he find the offices where the school's teachers worked.

Following the directions, he quickly arrived at the room belonging to the Academic Affairs Office.

There were quite a few people outside, some around the same age as him.

"Looks like these people are here for the Special Recruitment Exam too." Song Jie muttered inwardly.

He had checked Pearl Academy's official website earlier. The Special Recruitment Exam would end in the next two days, so there were many applicants.

Song Jie waited in line. After more than ten minutes, it was finally his turn.

A female teacher in professional attire stood at the entrance. She looked at Song Jie and said, "Take this form and fill it out first, then bring it back and hand it to me."
