Chapter 37: Flowing Light and Obscurity

Below Mount Tianzhu, Fifth Tier Jiang City.

The steel giant city was majestic, built against the mountain, layer upon layer.

The sky was surging with flowing light, and countless flying shuttles took off and landed.

Neon lights flew, as bright as day.

"Fifth Tier Jiangcheng, one hundred million population."

"In this massive steel neon."

"Everyone is like an ant."

Jiang Jian looked out the window, his mood calm.

Night fell.

Outside the Whale-Ray Boat, Jiangcheng was still brightly lit.

The cabin flickered with blue light, and a mechanical voice sounded: "Freshmen, please prepare!"

"The Whale-Ray Boat is about to land!"

"Third Tier Jiangcheng!"

"Linjiang Academy, first-year area!"

The Whale-Ray Boat sailed slowly, flying through the gaps of the torrential light rain.

After entering the Third Tier Jiangcheng.

The Whale-Ray Boat's speed became slower and slower.

"That is Linjiang Academy!"

Shi Xuan clicked his tongue repeatedly.

Jiang Jian stood by the porthole, looking in the direction of his gaze.

North of Third Tier Jiangcheng.

Dozens of majestic and luxurious buildings stood tall.

Deep blue torrents surged at the tops of these buildings, connecting them to each other.

Forming a terrifying academy array.

"This group of buildings occupies half of the Third Tier Jiangcheng."

"It can accommodate a population of one million."

"This is Linjiang Academy, first-year area."

Shi Xuan smiled, "Although I lived in Linjiang Prefecture when I was young."

"I have never been to Linjiang Academy."

While speaking.

The Whale-Ray Boat passed through the deep blue light curtain.

And descended.

Below, on the academy fleet field, many Whale-Ray Boats were parked.

"Landed!"

"Freshmen, please wait patiently."

"At 9:00 AM sharp, the academy opens its doors!"

The cabin flashed with blinding blue light.

After the mechanical voice notification, it fell silent.

Shi Xuan cursed: "It's only 6:00 AM; we have to wait for 3 hours!"

Jiang Jian looked out the window.

The remaining Whale-Ray Boats were all parked quietly.

On the fleet field, there wasn't a single person.

"Can only wait."

Jiang Jian opened his identity device and looked at the communications.

Inside, it was dense.

More than a hundred communications had accumulated.

Jiang Jian swiped the screen, scanning the spam information roughly.

His gaze fell on five communications marked as "important".

The first one was the academy's admission notice and summary.

"Linjiang Academy, Enrollment Notice."

"Earth citizen, Jiang Jian, citizen number hidden."

"March 2, 3227."

"Congratulations, you have been admitted to Linjiang Academy!"

"Linjiang Academy is the first God-Given university in Linjiang Prefecture."

"The academy was founded 352 years ago and has quite a historical background."

"Over the past few hundred years, many romantic figures have appeared."

"Among them are many Alliance high officials, high-level cultivators, business tycoons, theological scholars..."

Nearly an hour.

Jiang Jian finally finished reading this communication.

"If the information inside is not exaggerated."

"Linjiang Academy's foundation is indeed deep."

Jiang Jian smiled noncommittally.

He clicked on the second communication, freshman rules.

"Linjiang Academy, Freshman Rules."

"Linjiang Academy students must abide by the Solar System Decrees and Earth Alliance laws."

"Abide by the 《Solar System Decrees》, abide by the 《Planetary Resident Decrees》."

"Abide by the 《Earth Alliance Law》, abide by the 《Earth Citizen Management Law》."

"Abide by the 《Unofficial Citizen Protection Law》, abide by the 《Anti-Public Support Discrimination Law》, abide by the 《Aircraft Driving Law》..."

Jiang Jian finished reading the freshman rules and swiped away the information.

Opened the third communication.

This communication was very brief.

"Linjiang Academy, Identity Verification Email."

"Please enter your citizen number to officially complete the enrollment process."

Jiang Jian clicked the semi-transparent screen.

In front of him, a private password box popped up.

Entered his Earth citizen number.

Jiang Jian clicked confirm.

"Beep!"

A crisp notification sound rang out.

"Linjiang Prefecture, Anhe Prefecture, Guangling City."

"Jiang Jian, 17 years old."

"Level 3 talent, Art, Purifying Spirit True Fire."

"Congratulations!"

"Officially become a Linjiang Academy first-year freshman!"

"Your identity device has been granted permission."

"Permission level: First-year student."

On the identity device.

Flickered with faint light.

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment and continued to open the fourth email.

It was also an identity verification email.

The campus was divided into seventeen branches.

Each branch had different subsidized resources.

Students from different branches also had different permissions on campus.

"First Academy, Special Identity Verification!"

"Detected that you have been recorded in the First Academy, meeting the certification conditions!"

"Please click the certification button!"

On the semi-transparent screen, the "Certification" button flashed with light.

Jiang Jian clicked it.

"Beep!"

"Certification successful!"

"Identity device permission has been upgraded!"

"Permission level: First Academy freshman."

"Additional permission information: Level 3 talent."

On the identity device.

Flashed with light again.

Brighter than just now.

"The last one is the freshman welfare and resources."

Jiang Jian swiped away the information and looked at the fifth communication.

This communication was different from the others.

The edges of the email had gold borders.

Gold-bordered emails meant that this communication was certified and issued by the Linjiang Prefecture Government Office.

Jiang Jian clicked on the communication.

On the screen, light gold light shone.

"Identity verification in progress..."

"Verification successful!"

Notification sounds rang out continuously.

Lines of information were displayed in the email.

"Linjiang Academy, Freshman Welfare."

"300 credits, can be used to purchase items on the academy platform, (credits are precious and hard to obtain, please use them cautiously)."

"30,000 Alliance Credit quota, can be used to purchase items on the Linjiang Network, (cannot be directly exchanged for Alliance Credits, can only purchase items of equivalent value)."

"Level 1 Talent Light Orb, random type, (used to place in the Shenque Acupoint to open a second talent)."

"Full set of textbooks for the three major theoretical subjects, 18 books in total, 《Scientific Practice Theory》, 《Acupoint Mastery》, 《Theology Summary》."

Linjiang Academy's freshman welfare was not much.

It could only barely supply the most basic cultivation.

Below the information.

A "Claim" button flashed with gold light.

Jiang Jian didn't claim it for the time being.

His gaze moved, and he continued to look down.

"Linjiang Academy, First Academy Welfare, (Identity verified)."

"500 credits, can be used to purchase items on the academy platform, (credits are precious and hard to obtain, please use them cautiously)."

"100,000 Alliance Credit quota, can be used to purchase items on the Linjiang Network, (cannot be directly exchanged for Alliance Credits, can only purchase items of equivalent value)."

"Level 2 Talent Light Orb, self-selected type, (used to place in the Shenque Acupoint to open a second talent)."

"Level 2 God-Given weapon, self-selected type."

Below the information.

There was also a golden "Claim" button.

Jiang Jian looked at the First Academy's welfare.

Continued to swipe the screen.

The information at the very bottom was the longest.

The edges of the information flashed with gold light!

"This last piece of information is not welfare issued by the academy."

Jiang Jian saw the title of the information and reacted immediately.

"This is the resource package for Level 3 talents issued by the Linjiang Prefecture Government Office!"
