"Could it really be? Could it really be such a coincidence...?"
For a moment, Ye Xuan's mind was a mess. Anyone who had seriously attended history class during their nine years of compulsory education should have heard the names of those five people.
"Does this mean none of them could inherit the position of principal?"
Before the previous thought had faded, a new one surfaced...
"Forget it. It's none of my business. I'll accept them first!"
Ye Xuan drove the chaotic thoughts from his mind and accepted the applications from the five big shots one by one.
The five of them had long since created a group chat exclusively for the six of them. The moment they saw that he had accepted their friend requests, they hurriedly pulled him in and started a video call.
The instant Ye Xuan joined, he found all five of them apologizing again.
"Sorry, Student Ye Xuan. We were negligent earlier. Our apologies."
Seeing how polite these big shots were, and since Ye Xuan had already calmed down, he hurriedly replied, "It's fine, it's fine! Just don't let this happen again in the future..."
"Of course. This time, it was a necessary measure!" Ji Dan, the Admissions Office Teacher of Great Zhou Academy, nodded as he spoke.
"May I ask what you Teachers wanted to see me about?" Ye Xuan asked politely.
He was currently ranked 320th on the Reaching Heavens Ranking of the Ancestral Star. Though this ranking was high enough to enter one of the Five Great Academies, it was not enough for the Admissions Office Teachers of all five academies to personally seek him out, much less create a separate group chat for him.
Therefore, these five big shots before him had definitely already reviewed his record and learned of his crazy surge through the rankings, as well as his own Potential.
He was right. The Teachers of the Five Great Academies had learned what kind of Potential such a record represented, which was why they had sought Ye Xuan out at all costs to speak with him.
As Ye Xuan finished speaking, the five Teachers looked at one another. In the end, Fu Su stepped forward and said:
"Let me put it this way. Before coming to find you, our Five Great Academies had already discussed this matter. I'll give you a brief explanation!"
"All Five Great Academies hold great expectations for you. Although your ranking is not high at the moment, we are all extremely optimistic about your chances of reaching the top of the Ancestral Star Ranking. Therefore, all of us wish to recruit you into our own academies."
"However, to prevent others from gossiping, once you reach the top of the Ancestral Star Ranking, the Five Great Academies will make an exception and recruit you early, allowing you to enter university and further your studies ahead of time. No matter which academy you choose to join, one of the five of us will become your Teacher and personally guide you."
"As for the rewards, the five of us will come speak to you again when the time comes. You may choose for yourself then. What do you think?"
After Fu Su finished speaking, the other four Teachers nodded as well, approving of the arrangement.
To be personally taught by an Admissions Office Teacher from one of the Five Great Academies was an incredibly rare opportunity. Although he did not know the cultivation levels of these Teachers, as admissions Teachers of the Five Great Academies, they were surely the strongest figures in their academies aside from the principals.
How could ordinary students who entered the Five Great Academies ever receive such an opportunity? Naturally, Ye Xuan agreed without hesitation.
"Alright. Thank you, Teachers, for your high regard. I'll choose one of your schools based on what I need!"
That was indeed the truth. The Five Great Academies were the strongest academies in Great Xia Country. Countless people desperately wanted to enter them, and Ye Xuan was naturally among them.
On the Ancestral Star, the Five Great Academies crushed all other universities. Only these five could be called academies; every other institution could only be called something-or-other University.
"Very well. If Student Ye Xuan encounters any difficulties in life, feel free to come to any of us! We won't disturb you any further, Student Ye!"
Li Chengqian said softly with a smile.
Though they claimed they would not disturb Ye Xuan, the truth was that all of their time was precious.
The purpose of this meeting had already been achieved. They had stated the terms they were willing to offer, and their decision to seek Ye Xuan out had also been jointly discussed by the five of them.
To prevent malicious competition between them from affecting Ye Xuan's development, the five had held a small meeting as soon as they learned of him.
There was no doubt that Ye Xuan would choose only among their five academies. However, the question was, what could they use to persuade Ye Xuan to enter their own academy?
That involved many matters.
Therefore, the Five Great Academies decided that before Ye Xuan reached the Top of the List, none of them could contact him privately, lest they interfere with his development.
After Ye Xuan reached the Top of the List, the six of them would hold another video call. Each academy would state the price it was willing to pay, settling the matter once and for all. Whichever academy Ye Xuan entered, one of them would be responsible for teaching him.
They had stated this in advance as well, partly to reassure Ye Xuan and prevent him from impulsively choosing some other school.
"The Five Great Academies..."
After hanging up the video call, Ye Xuan accepted Fu Su's invitation and entered the Ancestral Star Geniuses group chat.
After skillfully muting the notifications, he exited the Genius Ranking.
There was still one day until the God Source was distributed. There was no point staying on the Reaching Heavens Ranking now. Without God Source, there was nothing to do there except brag and chat, so he might as well stroll around school.
The main reason was that his Chaos was now filled with fighting every day. It was not appropriate for him to interfere, so after adjusting the flow of time to a normal rate, he simply let them fight. No matter how fiercely they fought, nothing would happen.
The Chaotic Godfiends would not die even if they fought for a whole year. Even minor injuries were extremely rare.
Their cultivation gaps were minuscule, and they could not sense the passage of time in Chaos. On top of that, the Great Dao Divine Demons were all thick-skinned monsters with astonishing recovery abilities. Unless one side completely suppressed the other, it was difficult to inflict injuries in a short time.
For the Chaotic Godfiends, there was only one kind of injury: a Dao Wound. Any other injury, no matter how severe, would instantly recover under the nourishment of the Great Dao.
Lin Tian No. 1 High School.
The days of the Third Year were exceptionally relaxed. Other than one class each month, there was nothing to do, and students could even choose not to attend that class.
During this free time, one could choose to steadily develop their Divine Kingdom and guide its growth, or simply slack off and wander around every day.
"Isn't that Ye God?"
"Yeah, Ye God!!"
"Look! That's Ye God!!"
"Ye God!! I want to have your babies!!!"
Ye Xuan walked along the tree-lined path through the school. Since it was early morning, the path was covered in dew.
There were neither too many nor too few people coming and going along this path, but at this moment, not a single one of them failed to recognize Ye Xuan.
As the saying went, once you held the Reaching Heavens Ranking in your hand, who in the school would not know you!
