Xin Yang (Brother) kicked Zhang Liang in the ribs.

Just as all the students thought the battle was about to end.

A metallic clang suddenly rang out from Zhang Liang's body.

Zhang Liang seized the chance to roll to his feet.

"Xin Yang, didn't expect that, did you? This is my final trump card. You actually forced me to use it."

"Students from small cities can't obtain a new curse ability within a month of awakening."

"But my family provided me with a permanent curse ability potion."

"So I possess an N-rank curse ability: Tree Bark."

"Even if you lose, it was worth it."

Brother looked at Zhang Liang as though he were looking at a paratrooper.

Eerie energy completely wrapped around Brother's fist.

Xin Yang (Brother) threw a punch, sending Zhang Liang flying out of the arena.

He fainted on the spot!!!

The stadium erupted with thunderous applause.

Deafening cheers rang out.

"Champion..."

"Champion..."

"Champion..."

Brother handed control of the body back to his younger brother.

After Xin Yang came out, he enjoyed the fruits of his brother's victory.

The endless cheers and applause.

Xin Yang prepared to leave the arena.

He wanted to return to the rest area and wait for the award ceremony.

But.

Before he could even leave the competitors' passageway.

He heard someone calling his name from behind.

"Xin Yang, please wait!"

Hearing the voice, Xin Yang turned around.

It was actually the principal!

That surprised Xin Yang somewhat.

The principal had actually come to personally speak with him.

Could something major have happened?

As a student, Xin Yang naturally did not dare to be negligent.

He immediately jogged over to the principal.

Xin Yang respectfully asked, "Principal, did you need something from me?"

The principal of Wucheng No. 2 High School was already in his fifties or sixties this year.

Besides serving as principal, he was also a psychological counselor for the senior-year students.

Although Xin Yang had never attended his classes.

The students in Class 76 all said.

The principal's one weekly lesson.

Was mainly meant to ease the students' mental stress.

When handling school affairs, he usually turned a blind eye to many things as well.

As a result, Wucheng No. 2 High School had a relatively open atmosphere.

No one cared even if students did not wear their uniforms.

When the principal saw Xin Yang, a smile appeared on his face.

Ever since last month's awakening ceremony.

When Xin Yang awakened Dreamsource Ghost, number 908 in the sequence.

He had immediately felt an immense sense of pride!

This was a student from our school!

Wouldn't that make him my student?

Didn't that mean I was the one who taught this student?

He had already imagined the following words written on his future tombstone: Mentor of the genius Xin Yang.

Therefore.

Now that the principal looked at Xin Yang.

The more he looked, the happier he became.

It was as though he were looking at his own son.

The moment Xin Yang won the championship.

The big shots on the viewing platform could no longer sit still.

And the reason the principal had come to stop Xin Yang was precisely because of this matter.

"Xin Yang, someone wants to see you. Come with me to the conference room," the principal said.

Xin Yang reacted quickly.

Wang Han's words from yesterday immediately came to mind.

Xin Yang promptly asked, "Are they from the four universities?"

A trace of surprise appeared in the principal's eyes before he quickly regained his composure.

"You've already guessed?"

Xin Yang nodded.

Seeing him nod, the principal continued, "That's right. The people who asked me to call you over are from the admissions offices of the four universities."

Following behind the principal.

Xin Yang soon arrived at the conference room.

The moment he entered.

Xin Yang saw a young man.

He wore round-framed glasses, had bright eyes, and was neatly dressed, giving him a refined appearance.

The moment he saw Xin Yang and the principal enter, he immediately stood up.

A professional smile appeared on his face as well.

"Hello, you must be Xin Yang," the young man said, extending his right hand toward Xin Yang.

Out of politeness, Xin Yang extended his own hand as well.

After the two shook hands, the principal arranged for them to sit down.

After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, the principal handed the lead over to the young man.

The young man nodded slightly, then politely said, "Xin Yang, I imagine the principal has already told you. I'm from Huabang University's admissions office."

"My name is Zhou Jinji, a Disaster Soul-tier Eerie Ability Master."

"I'm here this time to handle your special admission."

Xin Yang nodded to show that he understood.

It was no surprise that the other party had come to specially recruit him after he won the championship.

After all, with the talent he and Brother had displayed on stage, he could choose any university on the Eerie Continent and receive better treatment.

Seeing how calm Xin Yang was, Zhou Jinji's favorable impression of him grew.

Neither arrogant nor impetuous.

He seemed like a promising prospect.

As someone from the admissions office, Zhou Jinji had seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, senior-year students.

Many talented people sometimes acted as if their tails could reach the sky.

Huabang University would never admit people like that.

After all, they trained students to send them into the eerie world to face danger.

Not to play house.

After developing a slight favorable impression of Xin Yang, Zhou Jinji continued, "I think you should understand the benefits of our university's special admission."

Zhou Jinji adjusted his glasses slightly, and an unconscious look of pride appeared on his face.

"At Huabang University, what we lack least is money and resources."

"Simply put, if you are willing to join Huabang University, there are some things we can't guarantee."

"But as long as you complete your coursework well enough and do not fall behind in your eerie ability cultivation."

"Basically, whatever you want, we can get it for you."

"Moreover, the more enemies you kill in the eerie world or within eerie stages, the more generous the rewards the university gives you will be."

"And the university will not restrict you in any way."

"If housing is a concern, a home anywhere in Huabang City is not a problem."

"Well? These are the promises and terms of Huabang University."

"What do you think?"

Zhou Jinji was decisive, direct, and straightforward.

Money.

Resources.

Both were indispensable to an Eerie Ability Master's cultivation.

Not only that, they would even give him a home.

Xin Yang, who knew the housing prices in the four major cities well, naturally understood what kind of terms these were.

It could be said that they offered nothing but benefits.

And all of this had been obtained for him through Brother's talent and the cheat he possessed.

The terms were very tempting.

And they were exactly what Xin Yang wanted.

After all, for the current Xin Yang.

What he needed most was money and resources.

He still had his cheat.

And what he needed most right now was money to purchase eerie ability resources and eerie items for cultivation.

At that thought.

Xin Yang was about to nod in agreement.

However.

Before Xin Yang could speak.

The conference room door suddenly opened.

Outside the door.

Stood a burly man.

His skin was dark, and he had a towering, powerful build.

But merely looking at the muscles all over his body made it clear just how grueling his training had been.

When Zhou Jinji saw this person, his brows twitched.

His head immediately began to ache.

Clearly.

He knew this man.

"Niu Dalei, I didn't expect Myriad Source University to send you this time."

Zhou Jinji's tone was somewhat gloomy, seemingly carrying a trace of displeasure.

The four universities guarded four eerie passages.

Each eerie passage required a large investment of talent.

Therefore, every year, the admissions office teachers from the four major universities were busy "hurting" one another.

Brothers, keep it up! We've advanced. Brothers, if anyone still hasn't invested, go ahead and invest.
