Chapter 22: Whale Fall

A giant ship that covered the sky landed slowly, hovering above the high ceremony platform.

Around the giant ship, countless arrays were engraved.

Light intertwined, light flows surged.

"Whale Ray Ship!"

"It's actually a Whale Ray Ship!"

"Whale Ray Ship, the symbol of Linjiang Academy!"

"What?!"

"Linjiang Academy?!"

"The No. 1 God-Given university in Linjiang Prefecture?!"

"To have so many Level 3 talents appear at once, it actually alarmed the No. 1 university in Linjiang Prefecture?!"

"I've only seen the Whale Ray Ship of Linjiang Academy on TV!"

The shadow of the giant ship was cast, and countless clamorous discussions roared up!

Linjiang Prefecture, seventeen provinces.

Seventeen God-Given universities.

Linjiang Academy ranked first!

And Anhe Academy and Luoying Academy were both ranked outside the top ten!

"Why is it people from Linjiang Academy..."

The proctors of Anhe Academy and Luoying Academy looked at each other, both gritting their teeth.

The ranking difference was too great.

These local universities couldn't compete with Linjiang Academy at all!

Under the gaze of countless people.

The giant door of the Whale Ray Ship opened slowly.

Several figures jumped down directly, landing heavily on the high ceremony platform!

"Level 3 talent, Linjiang Academy will take them all!"

"Below Level 3 talent, Art, Martial, we'll take them along the way too!"

"The rest of the students, leave them to you!"

The owner of the domineering voice just now spoke again.

It was actually a clean-looking young man.

As soon as these words fell.

The proctors of the God-Given universities had ugly expressions.

Several admissions offices of universities that had arrived earlier also stood in the distance, not even daring to approach.

As a representative of the Guangling City Government, Li Huhai squeezed out a smile and greeted them.

"I am Guangling Education Management Director Li Huhai, may I ask who this teacher is..."

The clean-looking young man smiled and said: "I am not a teacher, I am a third-year student at Linjiang Academy, named Gu Qi, representing the academy to recruit students, any problems?"

Li Huhai was stunned.

Gu Qi, who was just standing here.

The aura he emitted was already incomparably powerful.

Like an abyss or a mountain.

Even making him feel a bit of shrinking in his heart.

"This is just a student?!"

"Linjiang Academy actually let a student come down to recruit?"

In the examination board, two teachers stood in the distance, looking at Gu Qi, whispering.

Gu Qi smiled, looked over, and suddenly waved his palm!

Boom!

The sky light dimmed suddenly!

Black clouds rolled and emerged, hissing and roaring!

Thunder exploded!

Boom!

Lightning tore through the sky, emitting a violent and terrifying aura!

The two teachers who were whispering just now turned pale, scared into closing their mouths directly!

Countless people raised their heads, staring fixedly at this scene, their expressions shocked!

A few seconds later.

Gu Qi snapped his fingers.

The thunder dissipated.

The black clouds faded away like the tide, never to be seen again.

The sky returned to clarity.

Gu Qi sighed and said to the people behind him: "Every time I go to a place, I have to consume spiritual power, it's really enough."

He turned around and looked at Li Huhai.

"Let me re-introduce myself."

"My name is Gu Qi, a third-year student at Linjiang Academy."

Speaking to this point.

He had a smile on his face, his words pausing slightly.

"Level 4 talent, Art."

"Spring Realm."

As these words fell.

Li Huhai's expression froze on his face instantly.

Several proctors all around were also stunned on the spot.

In all directions, you could hear a pin drop!

The Flying Light Terrace, which was originally clamorous and noisy, became completely silent!

Not a sound.

Millions of people were watching the Guangling City Grand Exam through live broadcast.

A few seconds later.

Countless comments completely exploded the Anhezhou forum!

Every moment, hundreds of thousands of comments scrolled by!

"Ah?!"

"Spring... Spring Realm..."

"Spring Realm!?"

"Level 4 'Art' talent!?"

"How old is he!?"

"How is this possible!"

"Level 4 talent, I've only seen it in books!"

"My god!"

"This Gu Qi is just a student!"

"Looking at his age, he's only about 20 years old!"

"Guangling City has millions of people, and there aren't even 100 people in the Spring Realm!"

"A 20-year-old student has already cultivated to the Spring Realm?!"

"Is this the prodigy of Linjiang Academy!?"

"Unbelievable!"

"Today was truly an eye-opener!"

Stunned for a long time.

Li Huhai finally reacted and hurriedly dialed the internal communication of the Guangling City Government.

"Mayor!"

"Are you watching the Grand Exam live broadcast?"

"Someone from the Spring Realm has come, I can't handle it!"

In just three sentences, Li Huhai said breathlessly, sweat already seeping from his forehead.

In Guangling City.

The Spring Realm was an existence that was unreachable.

Even in the God-Illumination District, only those family heads who had lived for nearly a hundred years had the cultivation realm of the Spring Realm.

Millions of people in Guangling were all in the God-Given Realm.

Only a few dozen people were in the Spring Realm.

Ordinary people hadn't even heard the name of the next realm, "Spring Realm".

This time, if it weren't for the Grand Exam live broadcast.

90 percent of the people in Guangling City wouldn't have known that the next realm was called "Spring Realm".

"No need to call anyone!"

Although Gu Qi couldn't hear Li Huhai's voice, he could see him dialing the communication.

He looked around and his gaze landed on Jiang Jian, Song Ling, and Du Fang, walking over.

Song Ling lowered her head slightly.

Du Fang stood beside Jiang Jian, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Jiang Jian raised his eyes and looked at the young man walking toward him.

On Gu Qi, Jiang Jian sensed a terrifying aura.

This thin young man.

Seemed to be able to erupt with unimaginable terrifying power at any time.

"You are Jiang Jian."

Gu Qi walked to Jiang Jian, his tone a bit gentler.

"I pulled the reading permission for Guangling and looked at your theoretical answer sheet."

"You did every comprehension question very well."

He lowered his voice, "Originally, I didn't plan to come to Anhezhou for this part-time job, this kind of backwater is usually skipped."

"But I heard that a Level 3 'Art' appeared here."

"So I rushed over here."

"Jiang Jian, you are the second Level 3 Art I've encountered on this recruitment trip."

"Performance achieved."

Speaking to this point, Gu Qi gestured toward the Whale Ray Ship behind him, "Linjiang Prefecture seventeen provinces, I've been to six provinces."

"Level 3 'Art', there are two."

"The other Level 3 talents, there are 17."

"Anhezhou is too remote."

"I truly didn't expect that three Level 3 talents could appear here all at once."

Speaking to this point.

Gu Qi looked at Song Ling and Du Fang, "You three, contact your families immediately, if there's anything you need to bring, bring it as soon as possible."

"Within ten minutes, board the Whale Ray Ship!"

At this time.

The flying airships of the Guangling City Government landed one after another.

Among them, an old man dressed in luxury stepped forward, smiling, and started chatting with Gu Qi.

Du Fang looked at Gu Qi not far away and gave a bitter smile.

"This is completely not giving us any space to choose."

Song Ling nodded: "Linjiang Academy, our Linjiang Prefecture's No. 1 God-Given university, has always been domineering."

Du Fang pointed to the 43 students not far away and said: "Gu Qi said just now that he would take all the Art and Martial students along the way, wouldn't the other remaining people be very unlucky?"

Song Ling opened her identity device: "It has nothing to do with us, just take care of ourselves."

She said while dialing her family's communication, "Haven't you noticed yet?"

"Our Level 3 talents don't seem to be top-tier among the freshmen of Linjiang Academy."

"In Guangling City, and even in Anhezhou, Level 3 talents are rare."

"But."

"Linjiang Academy gathers countless geniuses from the seventeen provinces of Linjiang Prefecture."

"We have to change our mindset."

Hearing Song Ling's words.

The pride that Du Fang had been wearing on his face gradually faded.

The self-satisfaction of obtaining a Level 3 'Martial' talent was also suppressed by him.

"Jiang Jian, Gu Qi seems to value you very much."

Du Fang turned his head.

Song Ling continued: "You're talking nonsense!"

"Art is already rare!"

"A Level 3 Art, even among the freshmen of Linjiang Academy, is hard to ignore."
