"How about it? Are these terms good enough?"

After saying that, Niu Dalei also glanced at Zhou Jinji.

His eyes were full of smugness.

For no other reason.

It was because Myriad Source's teaching truly was better than Huabang's.

Huabang University and Nether Soul University had been founded relatively recently.

Therefore, most of the older generation of powerhouses taught at Myriad Source University and Glory University.

Although Huabang and Myriad Source also wanted to spend money to invite those veterans to teach.

However.

They did not care about money.

So, while Huabang and Nether Soul had recruited some people.

Still.

When it came to the depth of their faculty.

They were indeed far behind Glory University and Myriad Source University.

This was very difficult to make up for.

After all, nearly everything Huabang and Nether Soul could offer could be measured in money.

And in this world.

Once you became powerful.

Money was no longer worth that much.

Just think about it.

Would it be difficult for a Disaster Soul-tier master to get a house?

Therefore.

Zhou Jinji was feeling rather nervous at this moment.

Because in his view.

A genius.

Would definitely choose the latter between money and the strongest faculty.

However.

Xin Yang's answer caught him by surprise.

"Sorry, I don't plan to choose Myriad Source University."

Huh???

Xin Yang's calm voice startled Niu Dalei.

What???

Are you kidding me?

Niu Dalei hurriedly suppressed his shock and said anxiously, "Xin Yang, you need to think this through."

"Although Nether Soul University's faculty is indeed quite good, there is still a huge gap compared to Myriad Source."

"Are you really not choosing Myriad Source University?"

Niu Dalei felt that Xin Yang had gone mad.

Myriad Source University ranked higher on the continent than both Huabang and Nether Soul.

Yet Xin Yang had actually turned them down.

Xin Yang nodded.

"He just said that the university would give me a house."

"And they would also give me plenty of resources whenever I wanted them."

"As for the faculty you mentioned... I believe in myself more."

Xin Yang smiled faintly.

With "Brother" and his golden finger, he was not afraid that he would have no future.

Although "Brother" could be a real pain sometimes.

If he still could not rise to greatness even with a golden finger, then he might as well find a block of tofu and smash himself to death on it.

Although.

Compared to faculty strength.

Myriad Source University truly left Huabang and Nether Soul far behind.

However.

Nether Soul University was simply too rich.

Nether Soul University was wealthy enough to be considered among the richest on the entire Eerie Continent.

Sometimes, just to promote their students.

They would even throw money around across the entire continent.

They practically treated money like dirt.

And what about Myriad Source?

Although they did not lack money.

Still.

When it came to spending power.

They definitely could not compare to Nether Soul University.

Therefore.

As an ordinary man.

Xin Yang's choice was obvious.

Naturally, it was Nether Soul University.

When Zhou Jinji heard that Xin Yang had actually chosen Nether Soul University.

He was just as stunned as Niu Dalei.

Then he quickly recovered and repeated his own terms to Niu Dalei.

After hearing Zhou Jinji's terms.

Niu Dalei's mouth twitched.

Damn it.

A house again.

So what if you're rich!

Although Niu Dalei worked at Myriad Source University.

He still could not afford to buy a house in Myriad Source City.

There was no other reason.

It was too expensive.

When Zhou Jinji saw the pained expression on Niu Dalei's face.

He promptly delivered another blow.

"The house we're giving Xin Yang this time is a student residence in the innermost central district of Nether Soul City."

Pfft—

Niu Dalei had been dealt a crushing blow.

Look at him.

He had not even started university yet.

And he already owned a house in Nether Soul City.

Meanwhile, Niu Dalei had worked hard for more than ten years and was still renting.

Damn it.

Comparisons really pissed people off.

Although he was feeling extremely depressed.

Just then...

Two people entered through the meeting room door.

Xin Yang knew both of them.

One was Wang Han, president of the Wu City Ghost Energy Masters Association.

The other was Yuan Dingjiang, commander of the Wu City Ghost Energy Guard.

Wang Han walked over to Xin Yang with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good lad, you've got good taste. Once you get to Nether Soul University, I'll have the junior girls take good care of you."

Yuan Dingjiang then began asking the principal what had just happened.

Naturally, the principal told him everything.

After hearing the principal's answer, Yuan Dingjiang spoke.

He wanted to try to win Xin Yang over. Although he and Wang Han had delayed things for a while with their speeches on the podium, in just that short time.

Xin Yang had decided to choose Nether Soul University.

However.

A genius like Xin Yang.

Probably would not appear in Wu City again for years to come.

He raised a hand and said, "Student Xin Yang, please wait a moment. I need to make a call."

"If you still choose Nether Soul University after taking this call, then I won't stop you anymore."

Xin Yang fell silent for a moment after hearing that.

Then he nodded.

Seeing Xin Yang nod.

Yuan Dingjiang immediately made the call.

Naturally, he was not calling some ordinary person.

The call connected to the director of the Specter Technique Combat Division at Glory University's Battle AcademyZhu Ende.

Zhu Ende.

A Disaster City-tier Ghost Energy Master.

He possessed at least eight perfect-grade specter techniques.

Moreover.

He spent most of the year stationed at Eerie checkpoints, guarding them against specters from the Eerie World escaping and harming the Eerie Continent.

Today.

Zhu Ende had happened to return to the university for a few days of leave.

That was why Yuan Dingjiang had made the call.

Once the call connected.

Yuan Dingjiang did not hesitate and immediately explained the situation.

On the other end.

After listening, Zhu Ende told Yuan Dingjiang to hand the phone to Xin Yang.

Xin Yang took the phone and spoke first.

"Hello, I'm Xin Yang."

On the other end of the line, Zhu Ende did not waste words and laid his cards on the table.

"Hello, I'm Zhu Ende, director of the Specter Technique Combat Division at Glory University's Battle Academy. I am currently a Disaster City-tier Ghost Energy Master."

"Student Xin Yang, I understand your situation. First of all, congratulations. Your talent is outstanding, and you won the Wu City student championship."

"Second, regarding your choice of university."

"My terms are simple."

"You can become my disciple."

"Glory University can provide the same material conditions that Nether Soul University is offering you."

"Glory University has ninety-nine artificial Eerie spaces. I can also apply for you to receive one additional chance to enter an artificial Eerie space every month."

"If you grow stronger in the future, I can even recommend a Disaster Domain-tier or perhaps even a Disaster World-tier teacher for you."

"As long as you join Glory University."

"Of course, you may choose another university as well, but I hope you will consider this carefully."

After hearing him out.

Xin Yang answered without hesitation.

"Thank you. Could you give me a few days to think it over?"

Hearing Xin Yang's words.

Zhu Ende answered just as quickly from the other end, without dragging things out in the slightest.

"All right. I'll be at the university for the next few days anyway. If you've made up your mind, have Dingjiang call me anytime."

Zhu Ende meant every word of that.

"All right, thank you."

The call ended.

This conversation between the two.

Lasted no more than thirty seconds.

Swift and decisive.

It was over in the blink of an eye.

Even after Xin Yang handed the phone back to Yuan Dingjiang, the principal still looked stunned.

Kid, how could you be so calm?

Now all four universities had extended olive branches to Xin Yang.

The decision was in his hands.

Thank you, brothers, for your support. But please don't start flaming each other in the chapter comments. I know everyone has their own ideas and opinions, but please keep the discussion constructive. Thanks, brothers.
