Beijing University Visitor? Sudden Turn of Events

Feeling the spiritual energy within his body nourish him, Ye Chen could not help feeling a surge of excitement.

Silly Senju's Wood Release was indeed absurdly powerful!

This also delighted Ye Chen. Wood Release had now replaced Wood Element.

In the original work, the Wood Release he had manifested originated from the Divine Tree.

Naturally, it could not be compared with ordinary Wood Element.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A sudden knock sounded at the door, and Ye Chen froze.

Hm? Someone is actually knocking on my door?

Assuming they might have the wrong house, he asked, "Who is it?"

"Student Ye, hello. I'm Chen Dong, from Beijing University."

The person outside introduced himself right away.

Although he did not say why he had come, everyone understood it without being told.

Ye Chen froze. What the hell? Beijing University?

They're this fast? I only tested my talent less than three hours ago, and they've already come knocking?

This was not really their fault. From the moment Ye Chen awakened his talent, his information had already been sent to every university and the military.

The sudden arrival of a Beijing University admissions teacher left Ye Chen flattered and overwhelmed.

But after thinking about his current situation, Ye Chen gradually calmed down.

After all, people with SSS-grade Talent appeared far too rarely among the Human Race each year.

Although, in their eyes, his Wood Element talent could not serve as a primary combat force,

an SSS-grade future support-class ceiling...

Thinking of this, Ye Chen adjusted his mindset as well.

Now was the time to negotiate terms with them.

Ye Chen led several admissions teachers from Beijing University into the house.

"My home is rather simple..."

"It doesn't matter. 'This is a humble room, yet my virtue makes it fragrant.' I actually think it's quite nice."

Chen Dong did not mind. After all, he had investigated Ye Chen's family circumstances before coming.

But the young man behind him looked somewhat disdainful. As a top student of Beijing University, he had only come this time because of the university's arrangements.

He was also here to help his family search for a few promising talents and make plans for the future.

Ye Chen naturally noticed the disdain in the young man's eyes, but he did not take it to heart.

"Teacher Chen, let's get straight to the point. What kind of terms can Beijing University offer me?"

Ye Chen brought over two cups of plain boiled water.

He placed one in front of Chen Dong. "Sorry, we only have plain water at home."

"It's fine." Chen Dong smiled faintly.

Then he suddenly became serious.

"The path of awakening requires an enormous amount of financial resources."

"For example, scarce resources such as Spirit Stones, attribute equipment, or a Breathing Technique!"

"If Student Ye agrees to choose Beijing University, I promise that we'll provide one hundred Spirit Stones, one piece of Wood-attribute equipment, and one special Breathing Technique."

Chen Dong's sincerity was considerable.

One hundred Spirit Stones, converted into the unified currency, were worth roughly ten million.

A single Spirit Stone was worth one hundred thousand yuan.

Adding in the Wood-attribute equipment and Breathing Technique, the total was also around ten million.

"I see Beijing University's sincerity, but I still need to think it over." Ye Chen was silent for a moment before slowly replying.

Chen Dong froze as well. A value of twenty million still can't win over a student?

He immediately shook his head with a bitter smile.

In his mind, Ye Chen was like a child who had suddenly gained power and merely wanted to obtain more resources.

Although that was what Chen Dong thought, he did not say anything more.

Instead, he courteously handed over a business card.

"I understand, Student Ye. This is my business card. Contact me once you've made your decision."

Ye Chen accepted the card, his expression turning strange. Good grief, university admissions teachers have business cards now?

"Tha..."

Out of courtesy, Ye Chen was just about to thank him.

"Country bumpkin, you think awakening a talent makes you superior to everyone else?"

The instant those words were spoken, Chen Dong thought, This is bad.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Ye Chen and Chen Dong both furrowed their brows.

Ye Chen was simply baffled. From the moment this person had entered the house, he had seemed hostile toward him.

And now he had even spoken rudely.

Chen Dong, however, was extremely annoyed, screaming inwardly.

I told you not to let this young master tag along with me, didn't I? Look what happened now.

Why would he say something like that at a time like this?

Although Ye Chen's talent was Wood Element, if he developed well in the future,

with healing abilities in one hand, would he still be unable to win over powerful experts?

"You..." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled as he looked at the young man beside Chen Dong. "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? You're really something. Our Beijing University came to recruit you—that's us doing you a favor. What qualifications do you have to consider it?"

"Yan Feng! Shut up!" Chen Dong shouted sternly.

These spoiled heirs from the capital were always more than capable of ruining things and never capable of accomplishing them.

"Teacher, you're overestimating Ye Chen. He's nothing but a Wood Element user! No matter how strong he becomes, he's still just support!" Yan Feng continued defiantly.

"I understand." Ye Chen was still smiling, as though Yan Feng's words had not affected him in the slightest.

"Since that is all your esteemed university thinks of me, then please leave."

Chen Dong was helpless. He let out a deep sigh.

"Student Ye, think it over carefully. Our university's sincerity is absolutely sufficient."

With that, he rose and was about to take his leave.

But a sudden turn of events occurred!

"Kid, you really don't know how to appreciate a good offer!"

Suddenly, fierce flames erupted all over Yan Feng's body.

Ye Chen's expression changed drastically.

Yan Feng spread open his palm. A flame appeared in the center of it, and he clenched his fist hard.

"Flame Fist!"

A fist shot toward Ye Chen.

"Stop! Are you trying to kill him?!"

As an admissions teacher, Chen Dong's cultivation was actually not high. He merely ran errands for the university.

If they truly valued Ye Chen, Chen Dong would not have been the one sent here.

With Yan Feng's Fifth Awakening Realm cultivation, that punch would leave Ye Chen dead or injured!

After all, Ye Chen had only awakened his talent today!

At the critical moment, Ye Chen grew increasingly calm.

He recalled Silly Senju's ninjutsu, instantly remembering a Wood Release defensive technique.

But Ye Chen had only just gained spiritual energy, and he was not confident either.

After all, he had not yet tested whether he could actually use ninjutsu.

By all rights, this Wood Release should be different from Wood Element.

Wood Element required painstaking cultivation, whereas Wood Release only needed spiritual energy.

By all rights, as long as he had enough spiritual energy, he should even be able to use True Thousand Hands right now.

But all of this was merely Ye Chen's guess.

Now that matters had reached this point, the arrow was already nocked and had to be loosed!

To hell with it!

Ye Chen pressed his palms together. "Wood Stockade Wall!"

Chen Dong froze. What? He comprehended an Innate Ability right after awakening?

Nine Awakening Realms, with one Innate Ability in each realm!

Ye Chen had already reached the First Awakening Realm?!

"Clown! You think clapping your hands and shouting can save you?"

Yan Feng laughed, his laughter utterly manic.

This strike would not kill Ye Chen, but it would definitely leave him gravely injured.

And the college entrance examination was only two months away. Although he had SSS-grade Talent, he would certainly fail in the trials!

In Yan Feng's eyes, he could already see Ye Chen lying unconscious on the ground!

But in the next instant, Yan Feng's smile vanished.

Right after Ye Chen shouted, two rows of wood suddenly surged up from the living-room floor.

The wood instantly formed a circular shield in front of Ye Chen,

protecting him within.
