Some candidates who were unaware of the situation were still confused, but those from the Dawn Academy all looked over in surprise the next second.
The head of the Pulan Military Academy slapped his chair.
"Same treatment, are you in or not?"
"Wow!"
This is Tailun's answer.
"Go to hell." This was the sentiment of those candidates who had applied for the second round of selection.
As the tall, blond-haired boy stepped onto the stage, they were speechless. He was just as silly. Was the head of the Pulan Military Academy out of his mind?
"Congratulations to both candidates. Please take your seats in the Black Zone."
"Yay!" The two boys clapped their hands together and walked off the field excitedly.
These two lively characters brought a unique atmosphere to the serious and passionate selection process.
Ruan Xiongfeng remained lost in thought, while the other students stared in disbelief.
This is the first time I've ever seen such efficient student recruitment.
The military didn't give the scene much time to reflect; their next sentence brought the atmosphere to an even higher level.
Because this time, a heavyweight candidate has finally appeared!
"Candidate: Mu Fan, male, birthplace - Luoqie Star, status - commoner."
"One of the top 100 in the Winner's Bracket, ultimately ranked 3rd in the survival competition."
Mu Fan's casual gaze suddenly sharpened; it was finally his turn!
With a sigh of relief, when Mu Fan stood up, there was no longer a thick glass barrier or surveillance cameras thousands of meters away; he truly appeared before everyone.
His expression was calm, but the glint in his eyes clearly revealed the turmoil within him.
Mu Fan's heart was filled with heroic spirit. After going through all sorts of things, the moment to change his destiny with his own hands had finally arrived!
When a young boy learns that the world is more than just the land beneath his feet;
When a young boy's dream soars over the clouds and mountain streams and bursts out of the dome;
When a boy's fate is no longer bound by constraints;
When a young boy used his fists and the mecha brought by fate to smash through the barrier of the starry river;
He finally understood that his heart belonged to the vast starry sky and ocean, and that the life he had fantasized about countless times was finally coming. This was not the end of his dream!
This will be the beginning of his dream!
This will be the first step in his endless journey through the stars!
When you have the power to change your destiny, why not enjoy the passion and excitement of striving in life?
The boy stopped and stood in the center of the stage.
The lights dimmed again, and the entire audience focused on this point.
The head of the Dawn Academy stopped typing on his notebook, the professor from the Bonar Academy looked over from behind his glasses, and the head of the Pulan Military Academy laid out eight information cards about the boy at the same time!
Taoyun Academy's Instructor He Tian, instantly gripped the capacitive pen that was twirling in his hand. This was their academy's second target! They had to get it at all costs!
Finally, a few people who were looking around were surprised to find that Ruan Xiongfeng, the burly Bald Man who had been drowsy in the seat representing Dingchuan Academy, suddenly shook off his previous fatigue and sat up straight, his eyes shining with a burning gaze.
Like a sleeping lion suddenly awakened!
He kept a close eye on his prey!
Mu Fan, a candidate who was being closely watched by Five Great Academies and was simultaneously designated as a top Seed Candidate, finally appeared before everyone in such a straightforward manner.
Unlike the special telekinetic candidates, Mu Fan's journey from the physical fitness test stage to the combat stage and then to the jungle survival competition stage is etched in the eyes of everyone who is watching this examination.
He experienced the blatant yet unexplained shady Dark Curtain of the military, and he almost always pushed the limits of observers' assessments!
His ferocious demeanor and ruthless decisiveness make it hard to believe that he is only a 17-year-old boy!
The head of the Dawn Academy stared at Mu Fan, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly!
I just received a text message that two of the academy's designated elite student slots have been approved!
Although he already knew the shortlist, including Zhang Yuanren and Tatarick, he still couldn't contain his excitement when a brilliant candidate like Mu Fan appeared before him. It was like accidentally discovering an unclaimed Devil God Mecha in front of him!
The feeling of having this genius in your own hands...
Absolutely wonderful!
"Candidate Mu Fan, are you willing to come to the Dawn Academy?! Dawn Elite Student benefits, guaranteed admission to the military after four years!"
The moment the person in charge of the Dawn Academy opened his mouth, he stunned the entire audience.
The candidates below the stage looked on in disbelief, including Zhang Yuanren, a scion of a wealthy family, whose face was filled with disbelief.
Before entering the room, an insider had quietly informed him that everything was in place and he was one of the two candidates for Dawn.
How is that possible?!
Zhang Yuanren's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he stared intently at Mu Fan's figure.
He could be considered the person who knew best about the treatment of elite students at the Dawn Academy, which far exceeded the level of the other Four Great Academies, and was even much higher than Bonar Academy, which had a strong backing.
In the eyes of true nobles, Bonar Academy is a place to cultivate the power of nobles, while Dawn represents the hope for the rise of emerging nobles!
The difference between them is simply incomparable. As for the other three academies, they are top-tier for ordinary people, but for Zhang Yuanren, who is determined to push his family to even greater heights, they are not even worth considering.
Now!
How could this spot that belonged to him be brought up like this? He really wanted to grab a Pulse Rifle and blast that calm-looking young man on the stage until there wasn't even a corpse left.
Do you even realize the significance of this spot?!
The Dawn's representative paused for a moment before continuing slowly, "Dawn Academy offers two round-trip trial opportunities per year to any destination... including Beyond Domain Star River and... the Gador Empire!"
What is true domineering power?
Not limited to round-trip flights to and from the Federation!
A mysterious and vast Beyond Domain Star River, and the Federation's greatest adversary— the Gador Empire!
We can take you there and bring you back!
"An annual scholarship of 800,000 Star Coin, covering all expenses."
After finally finishing his last sentence, the person in charge of the Dawn Academy looked at Mu Fan, waiting for him to say "I do".
The entire room was eerily quiet; no one from the Bonar Academy, Pulan Military Academy, Taoyun Academy spoke.
Because Dawn Academy's recent surge in power is simply terrifying.
Any one of their conditions could easily override all the conditions they previously set.
In the eyes of the Dawn, the difference between the treatment of true Seed Candidate and ordinary candidates is like that between a star and a satellite.
It wasn't that they weren't putting in the effort; they simply didn't value those candidates.
The arrogance of the Federation's First Academy was unmistakable.
Mu Fan pursed his lips, raised his head, and instead of answering, looked around at the faces of the several academy leaders.
What are you waiting for?
Everyone, including Zhang Yuanren in the audience, was furious. At a time like this, you're still acting tough. We should have hired two more snipers to take you down!
One second
Two seconds
Three seconds...
Just when everyone thought no one else would speak, a lazy, roguish voice rang out. The deep, resonant voice unique to middle-aged men drew everyone's attention.
"Let's discuss this... Could you let us have it? Um, it seems Dingchuan Academy hasn't recruited anyone before?"
