Unlike before, this time he wasn't alone. There were two other students with the same pale face, a boy and a girl. The boy wore glasses and was thin and weak, while the girl caught Meng Jie's eye. She was petite and beautiful, giving him a feeling of first love. His heart skipped a beat, and he even temporarily forgot his fear in front of this beautiful woman.
"My name is Meng Jie, and I think we'll be classmates from now on."
Meng Jie first reached out his hand to the thin, weak boy.
"Hello, classmate, my name is Shi Xiang."
The thin boy's expression improved slightly after Meng Jie greeted him, but his voice still trembled, suggesting that he had had a difficult journey.
Hello, classmate.
With his most standard smile, Meng Jie extended his hand to the girl again.
Liu Xinqi,
Liu Xinqi's palm touched Meng Jie's lightly before letting go, but Meng Jie still felt a strange, electric shock-like sensation—soft and tender.
Meng Jie chuckled foolishly; he felt like he was in love.
Even if this school is located in the underworld, he still wants to attend!
The convoy drove for an hour before stopping. Only after the soldiers gestured for the three of them to get out of the vehicles did they see a military base.
They were facing a pitch-black gate, with thick walls on both sides, more than three meters high, stretching as far as the eye could see. Every hundred meters or so, there was a solid, tall building.
The main gate alone was guarded by dozens of heavily armed soldiers, and from the hundred-meter-high building, one could vaguely see the head of a thick-barreled machine gun pointing outwards.
Looking in other directions, there wasn't a single house in sight, let alone ordinary people.
If it weren't for the military base in front of them, they would have thought they had been taken to the middle of nowhere to be executed.
This situation terrified the three children even more. They huddled together, trembling. They had just graduated from high school and had never seen anything like this before. It was as if they had been dragged out of the ivory tower and thrown directly onto the battlefield, and not only that, but they were also being forced to charge into battle unarmed.
"After you go inside, follow the signs, either by bike or car, and it's about ten kilometers to your school."
The officer who brought them here said something that made their faces fall instantly: after all this trouble, they were still more than ten kilometers away from the school!
The officer finished speaking and, without giving Meng Jie and the other two a chance to react, saluted, got into the car, and drove back the way they came in one smooth motion.
As for the three of them, they could only tiptoe towards the gate, their legs trembling as they reluctantly placed the admission notice in their hands. At this moment, only this strange admission notice could give them a little sense of security.
Fortunately, after a brief check, the soldiers guarding the gate only took away all their communication devices and then let them through the military control gate.
Behind the gate, there were various cars, as well as bicycles, motorcycles, and electric bikes of various brands, all ready to be displayed.
None of the three of them could drive, so they chose the least strenuous option: an electric car.
There's no need to take the wrong turn on a straight road; just keep going and riding.
Do you know anything about our school?
Now that there were no outsiders around, Shi Xiang, whose complexion had improved considerably, asked Meng Jie and Liu Xinqi.
"Have no idea."
"I was taken out of my home. A large group of leaders and special troops directly under the Central Government blocked my door. They didn't even give me time to pack my luggage. When I asked them questions, they all said they didn't know."
"If our village chief hadn't gone with them, my dad would have thought they were swindlers and almost fought them with a watermelon knife."
"Our school really has a lot of power," Meng Jie exclaimed in amazement.
"Me too. My father, who had been a low-level clerk his whole life, was promoted to section chief right after I finished my college entrance exam. He only had one requirement: that no accidents could happen before I started school."
Liu Xinqi recalled everything that had happened to her family, and it all felt like a dream.
When the college entrance exam ended, not only was my father promoted for a flimsy reason, but two female nannies were also forcibly assigned to our home, supposedly to take care of our daily needs. But what kind of nanny has muscles thicker than her thighs, carries a gun, and does nothing but stare at you all day?
If school doesn't start soon, she's going to go crazy!!
The three young people, who were initially strangers, became quite familiar with each other over the course of more than ten kilometers.
Meng Jie came from a rural family, Liu Xinqi came from a family of low-level civil servants, Shi Xiang's parents were both teachers.
When they arrived at the school gate, looking at the school's name on the gate, they felt a sense of unreality.
Even though their experiences during this period were already quite surreal, they paled in comparison to what was happening now. After all, everything that had occurred before could still be attributed to their planet.
What they were seeing now gave them the illusion that they had traveled to another planet instead of the New Earth.
" New Earth Wizard Apprentice Training Academy "
Meng Jie rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was seeing things, but after rubbing his eyes several times, he could still see the same few words.
Just as the three children were still standing bewildered outside the school gate, a burly man exuding an aura they couldn't quite describe walked out. The mere sight of him standing in front of them filled them with dread.
He was a truly burly man, over 2.2 meters tall, with arms thicker than their heads. When he walked over, he looked like a ferocious human beast pressing down on them, making the three children almost bite their tongues in fear as they gasped for breath.
"You three are the only freshmen we're missing. Hurry up and come in. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony. If you don't come today, you'll lose your chance to enroll."
"Don't ask any questions, just come with me. There are three dorm rooms left for freshmen; choose one yourself. The information about the school is in your room; you'll understand after you've read it."
The burly man led the three nervous children through the school gate. The moment they stepped inside, the three of them swayed as if drunk, unable to take another step.
From the outside, the school looks like any other ordinary school, no different from any other. But the moment you step inside and take a normal breath, it feels like you've inhaled a mouthful of super-nutritious soup. Your whole body glows with an unnatural redness, and your head feels a little dizzy.
The burly man turned back to look at the three children with great interest. As he recited numbers, the children became increasingly dizzy and disoriented, staggering as if they were walking in space.
"1,2,3,4,5"
"Plop"
The first to collapse was not the frailest Shi Xiang, but Meng Jie.
Before the burly man could utter the word "6," Shi Xiang and Liu Xinqi both fainted and collapsed unconscious on the ground.
"Your talent is impressive. You achieved energy resonance in less than ten seconds, which would put you in the top fifty out of a thousand people."
The burly man carried one in each hand and another on his shoulder, walking towards a dormitory as if it weighed nothing.
When Meng Jie woke up from his coma, he felt no discomfort at all. On the contrary, he felt full of energy and his mind was clearer than ever before.
Recalling everything that happened when she fainted, she quickly checked her body and found no cuts, no pain, and no missing organs. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
His experience is so similar to those of people who were abducted and had their organs harvested!
Luckily, I was overthinking it!
He looked around the room warily. It was a huge three-bedroom, one-living-room house, fully equipped with all kinds of household appliances, even larger than his original rural home.
While inspecting the room, Meng Jie saw the school brochure that the burly man at the door had mentioned on the table, and immediately sat down to examine it carefully.
From the moment he entered the crystal ball during the college entrance exam, everything seemed abnormal—the treatment was far beyond what was expected. The heavily armed soldiers who walked alongside, and the incredibly strong, burly men—had filled him with curiosity about this school.
The school's introduction is brief, lacking any information about its glorious history or faculty; it simply provides a short overview.
Meng Jie read those few hundred words over and over again dozens of times, still unable to believe such a fantastical thing existed.
This is actually a school for training wizards, a school for training superpowers—infinite lifespans, supernatural strength!
Every simple word in the introduction felt like a high-voltage electric shock, constantly stimulating Meng Jie's sensitive nerves, making him jump and pound with excitement after experiencing so much.
In this way, everything is clear!
Only such supernatural power could garner such attention from the government and receive such special treatment.
Just as Meng Jie was waking up and engrossed in the school introduction, the burly man who had been at the main gate appeared inside the mountain palace and respectfully said to Leo, "Sir, all 1050 students have arrived, and the opening ceremony can be held tomorrow."
" Tuo Xi, everything is going according to plan. The three of you and Yaoyao will be in charge of tomorrow's opening ceremony."
Leo's aged gaze fell on Tuo Xi, and even though Tuo Xi had undergone Bloodline stimulation, he still felt unprecedented pressure.
He was already a superhuman being among humans, yet he still couldn't see the difference between himself and Lord Leo. Every time he approached Lord Leo, it was like approaching a colossal terror, like an ant walking at the feet of a giant beast, always at risk of being crushed.
I recall what Lord Leo said during their first Bloodline evolution: only after their Bloodline has evolved will they be qualified to stand before Lord Leo and have a normal conversation with Leo; otherwise, they won't even have the right to have a conversation.
It's unimaginable just how terrifying Lord Leo's strength is!
"Yes, sir."
Tuo Xi respectfully withdrew, then went next door to find Tang Fei and Ke Long, who were busy with other tasks. The three of them were the only ones left out of the twenty people brought by the first leader.
Tang Fei and Ke Long were primarily responsible for receiving direct orders from Lord Leo, contacting the ten leaders, and overseeing the students' initial instruction.
At first, I didn't understand or know what the top leader was doing, nor did I know who the person in front of me was. But after drinking the Bloodline Enhancement Potion and stepping into the extraordinary realm, everything became clear.
