Hearing this, Xie Ming frowned slightly. " Fu Yuan? You don't mean to suggest that Wen Jing transfer to Azure Jade, do you?"
Fu Yuan is the dean of the Azure Jade Academy.
Dean Bai paused for a moment, then nodded. "If she wants to..."
" Fu Yuan, a staunch Neutral Faction, has stepped forward. No wonder you hesitate. If Wen Jing becomes his student, it can indeed provide a stable path for his growth."
Xie Ming said, "However, I think you're overthinking it."
"Um?"
"I never thought you'd have a moment like this." Xie Ming shook his head and chuckled, "When you left Mystic Radiance to become the dean of Ocher Soil, wasn't it because you didn't accept the talent ranking system? Now that someone like that has actually appeared, you've stagnated."
Dean Bai sighed, "Ah, I was just afraid she'd have to bear unnecessary pressure because of me..."
Do you think that in other people's eyes, she no longer bears your mark? No longer Ocher Soil?
"And putting 'them' aside, did you know that Wen Jing's bounty on the dark web has already exceeded 100 million?"
Upon hearing the news of the bounty, Dean Bai immediately raised her eyebrows. "Who?"
"Of course it's those who lost money. Wen Jing's championship was a huge upset!" Xie Ming counted on his fingers as he told her, "There might have been some Imperial spies stirring things up... You know, the Federation's new generation of geniuses are always under scrutiny and targeted, just like the Federation's spies in the Empire do the same things."
"Those guys? It's about time we cleaned them up..." Dean Bai said with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Xie Ming continued, "So I realized you underestimated someone."
"Who?"
" Wen Jing."
Dean Bai was taken aback.
"You're letting your concern cloud your judgment. Haven't you realized that this child has always been far stronger than we realize...?"
*
After the celebration, Wen Jing returned to her dormitory.
I opened my smart device, and my inbox was overflowing with messages.
Compared to the local companies that Red Earth Star had given her a job when she won first place in the grade ranking competition, all ten major conglomerates sent messages, offering sponsorships with contracts so lucrative that it seemed like signing with them would guarantee a worry-free life.
Messages starting with "organization" are secondary; some messages also have special tags that clearly indicate the sender's extraordinary status.
In the Federation, Clone are also exceptionally powerful.
They contacted Wen Jing, some more subtly expressing their desire to meet her.
The direct type has everything: news of conglomerates and factions requesting marriage alliances and preparing to adopt her as their goddaughter piled up for several pages.
Wen Jing became increasingly speechless as he looked at the photos. After a quick glance, he opened the online store.
Holding the newly acquired C-grade Empowerment Stone, she naturally wanted to take it to the Ancient Wilderness and use it.
As a student of Ocher Soil, to travel through the Ancient Wilderness Mystic Radiance Star, I need to upgrade the algorithm to be compatible with the planet's orbit.
Although Wen Jing's compatibility is currently 47%, it's still less than 60%, which doesn't meet the most basic requirements for converting Wilderness Body body into a human. She certainly wouldn't gamble on the human body's absorption rate and waste a C-grade Empowerment Stone.
However, upon seeing the cost of 500 Integral to upgrade the orbit of Mystic Radiance Star, she immediately flew into a rage. "Why don't they just rob us?!"
This algorithm upgrade only grants Awakened the 'right to travel' on Mystic Radiance Star; it doesn't even include residency in the capital!
However, the two algorithms Wen Jing is currently learning are a military algorithm he temporarily learned when he was attacked near the Red Earth Star, and an academy algorithm he learned after formally enrolling. Both algorithms are applicable to Red Earth Star and its surrounding orbit.
Of course, Wen Jing has Gravity Silk, so he might be able to travel directly on Mystic Radiance Star and return normally.
But currently it is in Mystic Radiance, the political and cultural center of the Federation.
Having just finished the Freshman League, her championship title is already quite remarkable. Even if she does nothing, it will likely spark speculation, let alone any further developments.
Wen Jing has his own scale in his heart.
Invisibility and mental techniques can be hidden until the Freshman League, and the growth in strength can be explained by the abnormal development of insects.
However, the ability to locate and travel through the Ancient Wilderness without algorithms shakes the foundation of past knowledge and must never be exposed—she is also connected to the event of the 'collapse of the Ancient Wilderness '.
The prize money for the Freshman League champion is indeed 5000 Integral, but that's what she planned to use to buy the later levels of the Pagoda Secret Scroll.
"I'll be staying in Mystic Radiance until the official league ends, that's seven days left... I'll make it back later!"
After thinking it over, Wen Jing gritted his teeth and purchased the Mystic Radiance track upgrade.
She hadn't forgotten the 'express delivery business' she learned from Old Wang in the black market. After buying the Mystic Radiance Orbit, she could travel between planets directly using the coordinates here in the future.
The seven-day official league began the day after the Freshman League ended.
Players with a compatibility score exceeding 60% cannot enter the virtual reality environment. This results in a situation where the number of players in each official league is far less than that in the Freshman League, but the matches take much longer.
Therefore, after the Freshman League, the first-year students of the three colleges became the live audience of the official league. The teams from the three colleges would stay in Mystic Radiance for ten days before leaving together on the spaceship.
On the main road leading to the official league venue, a luminous figure appeared, immediately attracting many glances, but the next moment, the dazzling light caused them to look away.
Yes, the tradition of honoring titles is not limited to the Ocher Soil; it is also standard practice in the other two academies.
After winning the title of ' Freshman League Champion' last night past midnight, Wen Jing is now a dazzling star among all the freshmen in the three colleges.
This visual effect created by smart terminals means that the 'Tianke' Wen Jing's invisibility cannot be hidden by Optical Mimicry at all.
Apart from the students from the Ocher Soil, the students from the other two departments were whispering among themselves.
It's her...
"Is that the pervert from the Red Earth Academy?!"
"That's right, that's right. It's said that although she was rated F in the awakening test, she was able to defeat even the A-rank students in her cohort because of her Wilderness Body!"
"Damn it, why can't my Wilderness Body become abnormal!"
Wen Jing, whose hearing was so good that he heard every single sound, asked, "?"
Those locals are so rude! That's abnormal development, not the same as being abnormal!
Wen Jing quickened her pace and soon arrived near the competition venue. She could see Dean Bai's figure in the distance; she was standing alone on a bleacher stand.
She ran quickly over and leaped over the fence from below in one step.
"Dean!"
Dean Bai was deep in thought when Wen Jing arrived. He smiled at her, then turned and pointed to the crowd below. "How does it feel to be the champion?"
"Fine."
Wen Jing scratched his head modestly in front of the dean.
However, Dean Bai realized through her calm eyes that winning the Freshman League championship was actually a matter of course in Wen Jing's eyes.
Yes, Xie Ming was right; she underestimated Wen Jing.
In fact, you can see from her playing style in the Freshman League that Wen Jing has always been different from others. Others play with a player's mentality, but she plays with a winner's mentality.
Upon seeing Wen Jing at this moment, Dean Bai didn't offer any further opening remarks, but instead asked directly:
Wen Jing, would you like to become my student?
As she said those words, she unconsciously tensed up.
The next moment, Wen Jing's voice rang out:
"Huh? Haven't I always been your student?"
"No! He's a full-fledged student," Dean Bai explained to Wen Jing, both amused and exasperated.
In the interstellar age, which has broken free from the gestation of nature, among the Awakened...
Master and Apprentice
The relationship is more than just imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts.
Students have the right to inherit their teachers' estate, especially in cases like Dean Bai, who previously did not take on any apprentices and now only plans to take on Wen Jing as his student.
"Oh! Okay!" Wen Jing nodded readily after hearing the explanation.
This quick reaction left Dean Bai had been agonizing over it all night, both amused and exasperated. "No, you need to think this through!"
Instead, she advised, "If you become my student, my enemies will also consider you an enemy. Although I will do my best to protect you, you don't needlessly provoke them. Besides, as far as I know, there are more suitable people willing to take you as their apprentice..."
"What is the strength of your enemy?" Wen Jing asked directly.
Dean Bai paused, his golden eyes fixed on her. "Grade A, some Grade A."
Her enemy was undoubtedly not an A-level being like Luosi was still unable to change form in the material universe, but a true A-level fully Awakened. Not only in terms of personal strength, but also in terms of various connections and influence in the Federation, they could only be described as behemoths.
Wen Jing looked into Dean Bai's eyes, his expression unchanged as he smiled, "That's quite a challenge, teacher."
Chapter 107
After staring at Wen Jing for a while, Dean Bai also laughed, regaining his usual cheerful expression.
"Okay, then you're my student now!"
Although it is a very important relationship, in the interstellar era, there are no complicated procedures or rituals unless one intentionally creates a formality.
The relationship was established once both parties agreed.
The next moment, Wen Jing's smart terminal received a notification document, which stated at the top that she had been designated as the first in line to succeed ' Bai Xiao '.
It turns out that Dean Bai's full name is Bai Xiao...
Before Wen Jing could even look at the details of the documents, Dean Bai happily pulled her towards the meeting hall.
"We'll talk about that later. First, come with me so I can formally introduce you."
The official league is divided into team competitions and individual competitions. The first day is currently the elimination round with the most participants, and the venue is even larger than the Freshman League.
