Chapter 148: Yan Wu's Attitude, the Mock Exam Ends!

I choose... Qianlong Academy!

Su Yu's words shocked everyone present instantly.

What?

Countless gazes converged on Su Yu.

Among those gazes, they all shared the same expression.

That is, this kid couldn't be stupid, right?

"Hiss, he actually refused the recruitment of the Five Great Academies and went to Qianlong Academy—could Su Yu's brain be short-circuited?"

"Yeah, if it were me, I'd definitely go to Jingwu or the First Military Academy—after all, they're among the top academies, with countless resources."

"I've heard of Qianlong Academy; it used to be one of the Five Great Academies, but over a decade ago, its old principal fell, and Qianlong has had no king since, so it's declined to a first-rate academy."

"I really don't get it—why on earth would you go to Qianlong? I could understand going to Ancestral Dragon or Cloud End, but Qianlong Academy? I truly don't understand."

Many people looked at Su Yu with strange eyes.

Couldn't figure it out.

Only Li Zhangsheng's eyes showed a hint of joy.

After all, if Qianlong Academy could recruit a prodigy with golden talent, it would surely give birth to a marquis within the past decade or so.

It might even produce a king!

Yan Wu and the others' faces changed drastically as they stared fixedly at Su Yu.

Especially Zhang Ci, who was extremely fond of Su Yu.

Especially Su Yu's way of doing things, in his view, was perfectly suited for training at the First Military Academy.

Given time, he could even create a war king for the Human Race.

But he never expected Su Yu to actually choose Qianlong Academy, and for a moment Zhang Ci couldn't accept it.

He quickly said.

"Su Yu, although Qianlong Academy has the inheritance of an Imperial Realm expert, don't forget that obtaining that inheritance is extremely difficult—over the past few centuries, only one person has ever gotten it."

"Although your talent is also terrifying, if you fail to obtain the inheritance, staying at Qianlong Academy will ruin you."

Zhang Ci said patiently.

He really didn't want a fine seedling to be ruined by Qianlong Academy.

Li Zhangsheng beside him spoke lightly.

"Qianlong Academy has never ruined a student."

"Hmph, not ruined? Over the years, haven't there been few Qianlong students who died on the Myriad Races Battlefield? Your method is simply perverse!"

Zhang Ci shouted angrily.

Li Zhangsheng, however, remained unmoved.

"They died for the Human Race; they are heroes of the Human Race!"

"Do you know how many Grand Master experts the Human Race would gain if those children grew up?"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng's appearance, Zhang Ci directly burst out cursing.

Those from the First Military Academy, by rights, shouldn't get angry over dying on the Myriad Races Battlefield, after all, their students basically spend their time on the battlefield.

But Qianlong is different.

Qianlong Academy's students don't just grow up on the battlefield; they even infiltrate the interior of the Myriad Races Battlefield.

You know, even some Grand Masters and Marquis-level experts dare not go deep into the Myriad Races Battlefield's interior.

Once discovered, it's certain death!

So Qianlong Academy's casualty rate is also unusually high.

But every Qianlong Academy student who survives is a top-tier existence of their realm.

For example, this Li Zhangsheng before us is a Great Sun Grand Master, ranked third on the Daxia Grand Master list!

He has even slain a marquis of a weak race before!

But such people are ultimately still too few.

It can be said that Qianlong Academy's numbers now absolutely do not exceed four digits.

Li Zhangsheng said lightly.

"The Human Race arises from adversity; when they act for the Human Race, their deaths bring us much information, creating opportunity after opportunity for the Human Race—shouldn't that be right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ci was instantly shut down by Li Zhangsheng.

He could only curse silently.

"Madmen! All of you from Qianlong Academy are madmen!"

Afterward, he slowly looked at Su Yu and spoke in a low voice.

"Su Yu, have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to go to Qianlong Academy?"

Su Yu spoke solemnly.

"Seniors, stop advising me; my mind is made up—I will certainly get into Qianlong Academy."

The heads of the Five Great Academies sighed, especially Yan Wu, whose gaze turned icy cold as he looked at Su Yu.

"Su Yu, don't think that just because you have golden talent you can be so arrogant—not everyone revolves around you; Jingwu doesn't lack golden talent either."

"Even if you got first place in the college entrance exam, Jingwu will never extend an olive branch to you again."

"From now on, Jingwu will no longer welcome you!"

He then snorted coldly and said no more.

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

As the person in charge, Yan Wu's words completely killed Su Yu's hope of entering Jingwu.

It's utterly ruthless.

Su Yu sensed the change in attitude of several officials toward him, quietly collected his reward, and returned to the rest area in Jiangnan Sheng.

Jiang Shang sighed and patted Su Yu on the shoulder.

"It's fine; everyone has their own choice, and besides, Lord Slay Dragon King has already arranged things for you—even if you go to Qianlong Academy, you'll still be able to rise!"

Seeing Su Yu remain silent, Jiang Shang thought Su Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with the Slay Dragon King's arrangement.

But who would have known, Su Yu instead showed a faint smile.

"Chief Instructor, isn't the Imperial Realm Inheritance just a challenge? I, Su Yu, love things that present a challenge!"

Jiang Shang froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Alright, you kid, pack up a bit and we'll head home!"

Afterward, the award ceremony continued.

Tang Nian Bing and Wu Ling'er, not being from the southern region, left after the evaluation ended.

Thus Nan Shou Ren came in second place.

However, the attitude of the Five Great Officials toward this second place was not so good.

Only Yan Wu, out of respect for the Southern King's face, said to Nan Shou Ren:

"Would you be willing to come to my Jingwu Academy!"

Nan Shou Ren was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Yan Wu's mood improved a little because of Su Yu's grim face.

Besides Su Yu and Nan Shou Ren, the people from the Five Great Academies also stopped selecting candidates.

After all, the others didn't catch their eye.

Those who could be selected early were all top talents from their regions; as for the rest, they could only enter the Five Great Academies through the college entrance exam.

Soon, the top ten examinees also each received their rewards.

This time, only the top ten examinees were eligible for the rewards; even eleventh place received none.

After the award ceremony ended, this mock exam could be considered truly over.

Everyone dispersed.

Su Yu and the others also returned to the hotel, packed up, and headed back to Jiangnan Sheng.

But what Su Yu didn't expect was that, by the time he returned to his room, someone was already waiting for him.
