Chapter 69: Apprenticeship! Dean of the War Academy of Some Jingyu Martial Academy!

A verbal warning?

What kind of punishment is that?

After these days, the higher-ups have started to notice him?

Li Yao understood.

This was also what he hoped to see.

In the world of professionals, you have to fight for it!

Hiding your skills here, being timid there—if you don't show your talent, how will the higher-ups notice you and tilt resources toward you?

Although he didn't need resource tilting anymore.

Don't forget, dungeon secret realms themselves were also a type of resource!

Li Yao wanted to enter the Four Great Martial Academies for this reason; some truly rare dungeons were the foundation of major forces and couldn't be provided to the world for free.

Afterward, Li Yao asked,

"Senior, what about the other thing?"

"The Tower of Heaven." Xue Xue Jiulan’s tone became serious. "You also saw that there isn't a single person around the Tower of Heaven right now."

"Whether it’s you clearing the tenth floor or you coming to participate in the Tower of Heaven today, the Federation will help you keep it hidden."

"So, it’s best if you don't reveal it yourself."

That’s it?

Even if the other party didn't remind him, he wouldn't go around talking about it, right?

Li Yao nodded, indicating he understood.

Seeing Li Yao agree so readily,

Xue Xue Jiulan’s eyes flickered, and her evaluation of Li Yao couldn't help but rise a few notches. ===== CHAPTER 154 =====

She had originally prepared to tell him the reason for doing so, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.

With foreign races invading, the Dragon Kingdom was not a monolith.

As a general of the Dragon Kingdom, Xue Xue Jiulan didn't want to mention such things too much.

To be so young and yet so calm when facing something that could be recorded in history books...

The principal’s eye for talent was as sharp as ever.

If his strength were a bit stronger, perhaps even she would be unable to resist the urge to take him as an apprentice.

Xue Xue Jiulan thought to herself.

However,

young people should still be encouraged.

Xue Xue Jiulan looked at Li Yao, her expression solemn, and said earnestly:

"The tenth floor of the Tower of Heaven is indeed top-tier genius level."

"But among professionals, there are some special professions whose Second Turn doesn't take place in the Tower of Heaven; how do you know their quest difficulty is necessarily simpler than the tenth floor?"

Li Yao listened quietly without refuting.

"In short, there are still a few days before the Martial Exam; don't slack off."

Just then,

a regional system prompt appeared on the panels of all professionals in Qinghai City.

【Ding! Emergency update to the Tower of Heaven!】

【There will be no rewards for subjugating the Tower of Heaven for the next seven natural days!】

【After the update, the Tower of Heaven will enter the second stage; monster strength will increase, EXP will increase, settlement rewards will increase, and there will be a higher probability of obtaining rare items!】

【Ding! Emergency update to the Tower of Heaven!】

Three emergency prompts in a row flooded the panel.

For a time,

the Star Network forum in Qinghai City exploded.

Some cried, preparing to complete their Second Turn quests in these few days.

Some were excited about the increased rewards, being close to the source, and having better leveling conditions.

More people were curious why the Tower of Heaven, which had existed for eight years, would suddenly update.

At this time, Xue Xue Jiulan was standing there blankly, as if petrified.

"Entering the second stage."

"Hallucination?"

However, the system prompts, visible word for word on the panel, were reminding her that this was not a hallucination!

Others might not know what it meant for the Tower of Heaven to enter the second stage,

but she was the one who snatched the Tower of Heaven back!

How could she not know!

Only by killing the Apostle, by killing that Named-grade creature, could it enter the second stage!?

Named-grade is a monster whose strength is recognized by the Heavenly Dao and specially named.

What kind of existence is that?

Twenty years ago,

a level 120 Named-grade monster broke through the abyss and descended upon the Sakura Country, an existence that almost sank the Sakura Country by its own power!

Wait!

Xue Xue Jiulan’s pupils constricted, and she suddenly realized something, looking at Li Yao in disbelief.

"What did you do inside?"

Li Yao was left speechless by the scene before him.

Are the emotions of the General of the Nation so unstable?

Without waiting for Li Yao to reply, Xue Xue Jiulan let go of him again.

The Apostle only awards rewards to professionals who clear the tenth floor, and only this kid entered the tenth floor.

If it wasn't him, who else could it be?

No!

Must change the permissions!

What kind of tenth-floor genius is this?

Tenth-floor geniuses aren't even fit to tie this kid’s shoes!

Also no!

Xue Xue Jiulan frowned.

Changing permissions is too obvious.

Now, only the two people who snatched the Tower of Heaven with her know the promotion conditions.

Although those two guys aren't good people, they wouldn't talk nonsense about such things.

In just a few seconds,

Xue Xue Jiulan had used more brainpower than she had in a whole year!

Finally, she decided to keep this matter hidden.

At the same time, she would find an opportunity to remind those two guys to avoid them blabbing!

After thinking it through, Xue Xue Jiulan returned to her carefree appearance.

Principal, oh principal,

I never thought there would be a time when you would misjudge someone!

If the principal knew that Li Yao could solo a Named-grade monster at level 20,

he wouldn't have let her come to see Li Yao at all, but would have come himself to take him as an apprentice.

Now,

Xue Xue Jiulan looked at Li Yao as if looking at a delicious bun, and after some expression management, said solemnly:

"Right, I just remembered, there is one more thing."

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

"Senior, please speak."

Although this senior looked crazy, Li Yao still asked respectfully.

No choice—

the threshold for a General of the Nation is a Sixth-Turn professional.

Xue Xue Jiulan didn't answer but asked: "Which Martial Academy are you planning to take the Martial Exam for?"

"The Four Great Martial Academies," Li Yao said as a matter of course.

"Which one of the Four Great Martial Academies?"

Xue Xue Jiulan wasn't surprised; with this kid’s strength, which academy couldn't he get into?

"Haven't decided yet."

Not deciding is just right!

With the Dean of the War Academy herself recruiting, I don't believe you won't get on board!

Xue Xue Jiulan’s expression was normal as she said lightly: "Have you considered Some Jingyu Martial Academy?"

Li Yao nodded.

Some Jingyu Martial Academy was indeed the academy he was most interested in so far.

Because Some Jingyu Martial Academy’s teaching model was different from ordinary academies; it adopted an apprenticeship model.

There were no classrooms; students chose their own mentors and sought apprenticeship.

Of course, mentors also had the right to refuse; it could be considered a two-way choice.

Such a model required high teaching standards, and only the Four Great Martial Academies had such capability.

The guidance for students was also far beyond what those large classrooms could compare to.

Seeing Li Yao nod, Xue Xue Jiulan was extremely excited inside, but she didn't show it, saying indifferently:

"Since that’s the case, come to Some Jingyu; I can introduce you to a mentor."

Li Yao asked: "Who?" ===== CHAPTER 155 =====
