Test

The admissions offices of the four universities were like sworn enemies.

Niu Dalei had snatched quite a few students from him before.

The four universities competed year-round for positions on the rankings.

They also held a world tournament every year.

Although they were all human academies.

Whichever academy was stronger could obtain more funding and resources from the continental government.

For the money, they naturally had to "fight" over outstanding students every year.

Niu Dalei strode inside, first apologizing to the principal.

"Sorry, Principal."

Naturally, the principal would not get angry.

He had received information about these two long ago.

They were both Disaster Soul-tier admissions teachers.

He absolutely could not afford to offend them.

After exchanging pleasantries with the principal, Niu Dalei sat down on a stool beside Xin Yang and Zhou Jinji, looking utterly imposing.

He was extremely domineering.

Xin Yang did not feel much disgust toward his crude behavior of kicking the door open.

He knew very well why this man had come.

Since Zhou Jinji had revealed his identity.

Then without a doubt.

He had come for him as well.

Xin Yang extended his hand first.

"Xin Yang."

Niu Dalei grinned.

"By now, every teacher from the four universities in Wu City knows about you. A Disaster Eerie Tier 2 defeating a genius from Huabang City at Disaster Eerie Tier 4."

As he spoke, a huge hand clasped Xin Yang's.

Then, Niu Dalei chuckled.

Suddenly, he exerted force with his hand.

Clearly.

He wanted to test Xin Yang.

For Niu Dalei.

The best way to test newcomers was through a handshake.

Though he would not use too much force.

After the test, it would still let the newcomer understand that there was always someone stronger.

Therefore.

Xin Yang was no exception.

When Zhou Jinji saw the "smile" on Niu Dalei's face.

His heart skipped a beat.

This guy always loved pulling this move.

During recruitment.

This tactic had never failed him.

First, test and intimidate them.

Then recruit them into the university.

However.

Niu Dalei was mistaken.

At this moment, Xin Yang.

Had already advanced from Disaster Eerie Tier 1 to a Disaster Eerie Tier 6 Eerie Energy Master.

Naturally, his strength was no longer that of an ordinary person.

And the force Niu Dalei used was not particularly great.

Therefore.

When Xin Yang felt the force coming from Niu Dalei's hand, the corners of his mouth curved upward instead.

Xin Yang suddenly exerted force as well.

At the same time, he revealed a trace of his Disaster Eerie Tier 4 aura.

He still had not fully revealed his level.

Xin Yang wanted to keep something in reserve.

Because he had two companion Eeries, unless he wanted to reveal his true level himself.

Almost no one could detect it.

In an instant.

The two forces collided.

Then they began to resist each other.

Hm?

Niu Dalei froze slightly.

The instant Xin Yang exerted force, he felt it.

His own strength had been neutralized.

Only then did he shift his gaze from their hands to Xin Yang's face.

At that moment.

Xin Yang's face.

Wore the same faint smile Niu Dalei had worn moments earlier.

Niu Dalei narrowed his eyes.

Interesting.

He had not expected this freshman to possess strength comparable to Disaster Eerie Tier 5.

That gave him a slight shock.

After all.

From the time they had come to Wu City to watch the competition.

Until they came here today.

Only a few days had passed at most.

And in just those few days.

Xin Yang had managed not to suffer a loss in a handshake with him.

What did that mean?

It meant he had successfully cultivated Eerie Energy!

It meant his cultivation talent was astonishing!

Xin Yang was at least Disaster Eerie Tier 3.

Niu Dalei had also read Xin Yang's file.

An orphan.

And he had never received professional training.

Since he could neutralize the force in Niu Dalei's hand.

Then at the very least, he was now.

At least a Disaster Eerie Tier 4 Eerie Energy Master.

Niu Dalei's eyes instantly lit up.

This was a treasure!

He had to get him!

Good thing I got here in time.

If I had arrived even a little later.

Zhou Jinji would probably have snatched him away.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jinji.

Was equally shocked when he saw that Xin Yang had not suffered a loss during the handshake with Niu Dalei!

A freshman could actually withstand Niu Dalei's handshake?

This Xin Yang truly was a genius!

No wonder he could defeat Zhang Liang.

I came here for the right reason this time!

However.

Zhou Jinji was also displeased.

If Niu Dalei had not suddenly barged in and disrupted things.

Xin Yang would probably have signed with him and joined Nether Soul University by now.

At that moment.

The principal saw that the three people sitting there had not spoken a word.

He could not help but wonder.

What exactly were the three of them doing?

They had not said a single word until now.

And student Xin Yang and Comrade Niu Dalei had been shaking hands without letting go.

Could it be...

Suddenly.

A thought flashed through the principal's mind.

Could this be the university academy assessment?!

Thinking of this.

The principal could not help but feel astonished.

As expected of the four great academies.

Even their recruitment was so rigorous.

And even their assessment method was so unusual.

They could judge a student's talent merely through a handshake.

Truly worthy of being teachers from the four great academies of the Eerie Continent.

At this moment.

Niu Dalei no longer increased the strength in his hand.

His earlier exertion had already caught Xin Yang off guard.

Yet.

Xin Yang had been able to withstand it.

That already explained everything.

He had talent!

And a great deal of it!

Therefore.

He released Xin Yang's hand.

Next.

It was time for him and Zhou Jinji to compete for the recruit.

Niu Dalei chuckled, casually patting Xin Yang on the shoulder. He smiled with great warmth.

"Good kid. You've got some skills."

Zhou Jinji was slightly stunned.

Xin Yang had actually received praise from that big dumb brute.

It seemed.

This guy was prepared to fight him to the bitter end.

Immediately after.

Niu Dalei said straightforwardly, "I believe you already know who I am."

"I won't waste too much breath."

"I'm from Myriad Source University."

"I came here to invite you to join Myriad Source University."

"Well? Do you want to come with me?"

Like Zhou Jinji.

Niu Dalei was the sort who liked to lay out the terms directly.

After hearing Niu Dalei's words, Xin Yang asked, "May I ask what kind of benefits I would receive if I joined Myriad Source University?"

Niu Dalei froze slightly.

Then he came to his senses.

This kid was no ordinary person.

Sure enough, he couldn't handle him the usual way.

Niu Dalei smiled. "Of course there are."

"As long as you join Myriad Source University, we can first tailor a complete advancement plan specifically for you."

"We can even plan out how you'll acquire your future spectral skills."

"With your talent, we guarantee that as long as you don't die in the bizarre world or bizarre instances, you'll at least become a disaster-tier spectral energy master before the age of fifty."

"And the ones responsible for teaching you won't be disaster soul-tier spectral energy masters from our admissions office like us."

"The instructors teaching a genius like you would at least be disaster crisis-tier spectral energy masters."

"Student, what do you think?"

Brothers, beware of telecom scams. Do not travel to northern Myanmar.
