The Arrival of the Three Top Universities!

Xu Jingming knew nothing of the storms brewing online.

After receiving congratulatory calls from his aunt, the principal, and the bureau chief, he headed straight to Thunder Martial Hall.

Although he had the system now, he could not neglect his usual basic training.

Inside the training room.

The Black Obsidian Spear, already on the verge of being scrapped, turned into a black phantom as he wielded it.

Because he swung it so quickly, piercing shrieks occasionally rang through the air.

The Black Obsidian Spear's hefty fifty-kilogram weight seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

Every movement was impeccably precise.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

The ringing phone interrupted Xu Jingming's training.

Frowning, he put away his spear and picked up his phone. The caller ID showed Zhao Yao, principal of Jiang City Second High School.

Didn't the principal just call a moment ago? Why was he calling again?

As the Provincial Top Scorer, Xu Jingming was destined to become famous in the days ahead.

However, he personally disliked being disturbed, especially while training.

So he had long ago set his phone to whitelist mode. He had not expected the principal to call two or three times in a row.

Still, Xu Jingming knew that with the principal's personality, he would not call unless it was something important.

So, without further hesitation, he pressed the answer button.

Sure enough, the moment the call connected, Principal Zhao Yao's excited voice came through.

"Xu Jingming, get to the school right away! The admissions teachers from the Three Top Universities are already here!"

"The admissions teachers arrived so quickly?"

Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised.

Of the three top metahuman universities, Qingjing Metahuman University was located in the north of Great Xia Country, while Jincheng Metahuman University was in the central region.

Both were quite far from Jiangnan Province. Only Modu Metahuman University was somewhat closer to Jiangnan.

By his estimate, these admissions teachers should not have arrived until tomorrow at the earliest.

"Don't dwell on that! Where are you? I'll arrange a car to pick you up right away."

"I'm at Thunder Martial Hall."

"Alright, wait a moment. The car will be there soon!"

Meanwhile, at Jiang City Second High School.

Principal Zhao Yao had still been giving interviews when he learned that admissions teachers from the Three Top Universities had arrived together.

He was initially startled, then immediately stopped the interview and called Xu Jingming to tell him to come to the school.

He then personally led the three instructors to the school's VIP Reception Room and served each of them a cup of hot tea.

"Please have a seat, teachers. Xu Jingming will need another ten minutes or so to arrive."

As a Second-Order Metahuman and the principal in charge of a high school, Zhao Yao was considered an important figure throughout Jiangcheng.

Yet, he kept a very low profile and treated them with utmost respect.

Because he knew that these three big shots were people he absolutely could not afford to provoke.

Even the aura of High-Order Metahumans that they unintentionally gave off made his heart tremble.

"It's fine, Principal Zhao. Go attend to your work first. We'll wait here for a while."

Zhang Chaoyang, Director of Admissions Office at Modu Metahuman University, waved with a gentle smile.

After Zhao Yao left, Zhang turned to the other two and said with a smile, "The two of you, it seems we haven't gathered like this in a long time, have we?"

Besides him, there was one man and one woman in the room.

They were Su Yun from Qingjing Metahuman University, a voluptuous and attractive woman.

And Wu Yuan from Jincheng Metahuman University, a middle-aged man in a gray robe with long hair.

Like Zhang Chaoyang, they were both Directors of Admissions Office at their respective schools.

Back when the three of them had not yet become directors, they had met at special admissions events in various provinces.

But after becoming admissions directors, they rarely traveled outside, and had not run into one another again.

Yet now, for Xu Jingming's sake, the three of them had gathered together once more in a rare occurrence.

"Teacher Zhang, there's no need for so much small talk, is there? We all know perfectly well why we came here this time.

Let me make this clear first: Qingjing Metahuman University is taking Xu Jingming!"

Su Yun, Qingjing Metahuman University's admissions teacher, had a personality as fiery as her figure.

Without any pleasantries, she stated her purpose the moment she arrived.

"Heh, you say you're taking him, so he's yours? Then I'll say Jincheng Metahuman University is taking him!"

Wu Yuan, Jincheng Metahuman University's admissions teacher, was equally unwilling to back down as he snorted coldly.

Zhang Chaoyang could not help rubbing his temples in frustration.

Due to the annual College League, the Three Top Universities had always been extremely selective when recruiting students.

Especially at special admissions events for Provincial Top Scorers like this, the atmosphere was even more tense. It was not uncommon for admissions teachers to come to blows.

Naturally, he did not mind that. If the time came to demonstrate his school's foundations through strength, he would not hold back either.

But this time was different.

Zhang Chaoyang cleared his throat and said, "You two came all this way not only because Xu Jingming is the Provincial Top Scorer, but also because of his ability, right?"

"Obviously!"

Su Yun rolled her eyes.

The moment she saw Zhang Chaoyang and Wu Yuan, she knew they shared the same goal.

They had all come because Xu Jingming's ability was highly likely to be an S-rank ability!

"In that case, once Xu Jingming arrives, shall we first determine the rank of his ability?"

Hearing Zhang Chaoyang's proposal, Su Yun and Wu Yuan exchanged a glance, then nodded. "Fine. We'll confirm his ability rank first, then discuss recruitment."

For a time, the entire VIP Reception Room fell silent.

But before long, the meeting room's sliding door opened with a swish.

A tall figure carrying a long spear on his back entered under Principal Zhao Yao's guidance.

It was Xu Jingming.

The instant he stepped into the reception room.

Three gazes focused on him at the same time.

Since he had come directly from Thunder Martial Hall, Xu Jingming was still wearing ordinary loose training clothes.

The battered Black Obsidian Spear was strapped to his back.

Compared to Principal Zhao Yao beside him in a neat suit, he looked somewhat shabby.

Yet his upright posture, along with the calm and steady gaze in his clear black-and-white eyes.

Was something Zhao Yao, who appeared as though he were walking on thin ice before the three special admissions teachers, could not compare to.

"Not bad."

Su Yun could not help nodding.

After the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, most candidates would indulge themselves after three years of repressed high school life and would not even think about training.

But Xu Jingming had clearly just finished training. That alone set him apart from ordinary candidates.

Furthermore, the three of them were all Mental Type Fifth-Order Metahumans. Although they had not activated their abilities.

The invisible pressure they gave off was not something ordinary Metahumans could withstand.

This was evident from Zhao Yao beside him.

Yet Xu Jingming showed no reaction whatsoever. Clearly, his will was firm and not easily shaken.

Since they were all Fifth-Order Metahumans, if Su Yun could see this, the others naturally could as well.

Thus, from their very first meeting, Xu Jingming left a favorable impression on the admissions teachers.
