Tie Dali killed the strange two-headed creature that had crossed between worlds without suffering a scratch.
The instant the strange two-headed creature's life faded, the lion-faced, human-bodied Foundation Establishment alien locked in a fierce battle with the captain of the Spirit City Guard immediately broke away from the battlefield.
He fled toward the junction of the two worlds, and then his figure twisted, returning to the world on the other side.
By now, Spirit City's downtown was also essentially clear of alien creatures.
But although the fusion between the two worlds showed no signs of deepening, they had not separated either.
The captain of the Spirit City Guard led the remaining guards in keeping watch at that boundary.
At the same time, he kept glancing out of the corner of his eye at Tie Dali behind Lin Feng.
Clearly, he had witnessed the entire battle between Tie Dali and the strange two-headed creature.
Tie Dali's formidable strength inspired some admiration in him, but even more gratitude.
Above downtown Spirit City, apart from Lin Dong, the homeroom teacher of the Grand Ambition Class, the other three Golden Core cultivators were all silent, still immersed in the battle between Tie Dali and the strange two-headed creature.
After a long while, the head of Capital University's admissions office finally sighed.
"That Mid Foundation Establishment disciple from the Evergreen Sect is probably the one with the heavenly spiritual root. His strength is terrifying indeed."
"That strange two-headed creature at Mid Foundation Establishment should have had few rivals at the same cultivation level, yet this Evergreen Sect disciple actually overwhelmed it in every respect and killed it without suffering a scratch."
"You could say his performance fully lived up to his heavenly spiritual root. He's simply the number-one genius disciple in Sect World 999."
Now they could also understand why the Evergreen Sect had repeatedly taken first place in competitions and trials.
Even if the Mid Foundation Establishment disciples from their own sects fought Tie Dali, they probably would not have the slightest chance of winning.
He had already cultivated his Tiger Roar Fist to an extremely high level, clearly possessing a special talent and unique insights into fist techniques.
The head of Demon City University's admissions office turned to Lin Dong.
"Old Lin, hurry and call Lin Feng up here for a chat. Today, Demon City University and Capital University will compete fairly. No one is allowed to privately promise any more special rewards to entice Lin Feng into joining."
The representative from Capital University nodded at that.
"I agree. Today, let's see whether student Lin Feng chooses our Capital University or your Demon City University."
Hearing this, Lin Dong immediately sent Lin Feng a voice transmission, unable to wait any longer.
Spirit City High School was about to have its first student recommended for guaranteed admission to Capital University or Demon City University-and through special admission, at that.
After receiving the voice transmission from his homeroom teacher, Lin Dong, Lin Feng recalled Tie Dali and the other sect disciples to the Sect World, then rode the wind to where Lin Dong and the others were.
Ordinarily, Lin Feng could not use any spells in the real world. Only at a junction like this, where two worlds were merging, could he draw upon spiritual power and ride the wind.
After arriving, Lin Feng first glanced at the three in surprise, then cupped his hands in greeting to each of them as Lin Dong introduced them.
The two admissions heads did not beat around the bush, either, and spoke frankly.
"Student Lin Feng, whether it was your performance in the competitions in Sect World 999 or your resistance to the alien invasion just now, when the alien world merged with Spirit City, you have been outstanding.
"On behalf of Capital University and Demon City University, we have come specifically to invite you to join either Capital University or Demon City University as a special-admission student, enrolling early and participating in various training activities and missions alongside this year's freshmen."
The head of admissions from Capital University continued.
"As the head of admissions at Capital University, I can promise you here and now that if you are willing to join Capital University through early admission that skips the usual stages, I can guarantee that all the benefits you receive there will be the very best.
"You can study the various cultivation methods, artifact-refining techniques, and pill-refining techniques in Capital University's collection, and enjoy the highest priority in resource allocation, as well as guidance from the very best instructors."
Hearing this, the head of admissions from Demon City University beside him was unwilling to be outdone and introduced his university as well.
"Whatever Capital University can give you, Demon City University can give you too. But compared with those old sticks-in-the-mud at Capital University, Demon City University is more open and can give you more freedom."
Caught in a dilemma for the moment, Lin Feng cupped his hands.
"May I ask when the special admissions you two seniors mentioned will take place? Could you allow me some more time to consider before making a decision?"
The head of admissions from Capital University replied.
"Generally speaking, students accepted through special admissions can enroll once the first month's comprehensive tournament in your Sect World ends.
"Entering Capital University will not affect your competitions in the second month, after the Sect Worlds merge.
"After entering university, you can still spend most of your time competing across the various states in the Sect World. In your spare time, however, you will need to cooperate with the university and accept missions, standing guard at some alien passages or even following your senior schoolmates into other worlds to carry out special missions."
And whatever mission he carried out, there would be corresponding academic credit rewards.
At Capital University, he could use academic credits to exchange for anything in the real world, as well as certain special items in the Sect World.
"Student Lin Feng, I strongly recommend that you join Capital University. Only at Capital University can your talent be fully unearthed."
Hearing this, the head of admissions from Demon City University immediately spoke up.
"Student Lin Feng, don't listen to his bullshit. You should join Demon City University.
"Only at Demon City University can you put your talent to better use and lead our students in shining brightly at the passages to other worlds."
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Lin Feng hurriedly spoke.
"In that case, I still have nearly half a month to consider. Please don't be anxious, seniors. Once I have thought things through and weighed the pros and cons, I will notify you both of my choice at once."
In truth, Lin Feng had already made his choice in his heart.
In his previous life, that supreme institution of learning had been far beyond his reach. In this life, he had transmigrated into this world where everyone had a sect, and although there was now more than one supreme institution of learning.
Lin Feng still leaned more toward that particular institution, if only to fulfill a wish from his previous life and satisfy his vanity a little.
Lin Feng was already looking forward to life at Capital University, while also feeling some anticipation about which Sect World their Sect World 999 would merge with.
He also wondered how that Sect World's overall strength would compare with their Sect World 999.
