Chapter 61

"......"

Not far ahead on the plaza, someone was riding a demon wolf over two meters tall that radiated a violent aura.

A suit of resplendent gear flashed with dazzling golden light under the sun.

Others sat atop humanoid mechs three meters high, and every time one of those mech legs stepped down, the entire ground would tremble faintly.

Looking further up, one could also faintly see, in the distant sky, people riding flying magical beasts, soaring freely through the heavens.

"This... is way too over the top, isn't it?"

Zhou Yi stared, utterly dumbfounded.

This scene was a completely different style from Lijiang City.

It was just like playing an online game and entering a channel packed with players—bustling beyond belief.

"Within the university district, besides our Suhang University, there are five other schools in total."

"This is the plaza passage that everyone entering or leaving the five schools must pass through, which is why it's so lively."

"Of course, the fact that all the schools in the university district built their teleportation magic arrays here collectively is also one of the reasons its popularity is so high."

Su Mei's voice came from behind.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi hurriedly looked left and right.

This was a semi-open teleportation magic platform.

Besides the teleportation magic array beneath his own feet, there were nearly twenty more teleportation magic arrays around him.

Just as Su Mei had said.

At this moment, light flickered continuously within these teleportation magic arrays, with people constantly being teleported over and flowing into the plaza.

"Let's go, I'll take you to register at Suhang University."

Su Mei walked ahead, and Zhou Yi hurried to follow.

Along the way, feeling utterly fresh about everything, he kept looking around.

Ferocious magical beasts, mechanical constructs, rock guardians...

These rare things, which in Lijiang City one might not see even once in a year or two, were everywhere here.

Besides that, Zhou Yi also spotted some girls with cat ears and cat tails, carrying beast-race bloodlines.

If those shut-ins from his previous life were here, they'd definitely shout that their dreams had come true.

"Quite a few students over here in the university district carry some sort of foreign-race bloodline.

In fact, even some of the teachers at our school carry special bloodlines.

In the future, when you see them, don't let any unusual expression show on your face."

Su Mei cautioned.

She had looked into Zhou Yi's background—his father had died in a beast tide.

She worried Zhou Yi might therefore hold prejudice against humans who carried foreign-race bloodlines.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of stubborn person.

Even if someone is entirely of a foreign race, as long as they stand on humanity's side, I won't bear them any hostility."

Zhou Yi gave a slight smile.

The beast races and demon races, though they were the chief culprits behind the invasion of humanity.

Plenty of beast-race and demon-race folk had also defected over to the human camp.

He wasn't so petty as to hold the entire beast and demon races in his heart over his father's death.

Continuing to observe his surroundings, Zhou Yi used Appraisal Technique to take a look.

Along the way, there were quite a few people who hadn't hidden their level and class information.

【Level: 21】

【Class: Gunslinger】

【Level: 22】

【Class: Knight】

【Level: 24】

【Class: Swordsman】

What shocked Zhou Yi was that among the people his Appraisal Technique revealed, not a single one was below level 20!

There were even a few at level 25 or 26!

"Generally, people who don't choose to hide their level info are quite strong."

Seeming to read Zhou Yi's shock, Su Mei explained with a smile.

"But that's about right—students graduating from our Suhang University average around level 27 or 28."

"The neighboring schools are a bit weaker, but their graduates still average around level 21 or 22."

"For a provincial top-scholar like you, after four years of school you'd graduate at level 40 at the very least."

"Of course, that doesn't mean you can lie around and hit level 40—you have to put in the effort yourself."

"Alright, we're here."

Amid her graceful, pleasant voice, Su Mei stopped walking.

And Zhou Yi instinctively looked ahead.

About a hundred meters ahead stood a gate roughly 100 meters wide and around 10 meters tall.

And above that gatehouse, four grand characters were carved in flamboyant strokes—Suhang University!

Unlike ordinary lettering, these characters were a deep, glossy black all over.

Just looking at them, one could feel a heavy sense of history.

Beyond the main gate, clusters of tall buildings could be faintly seen.

At this moment, although it was still morning, not yet ten o'clock, quite a few students were going in and out of the main gate.

Though not as exaggerated as what he had seen earlier on the plaza, there were still quite a few people riding magical beasts or traveling in mechanical constructs.

"The Shengjianmian Society will begin tomorrow. The school leadership will announce how the colleges will be assigned, as well as the training arrangements for you special-recruit students during this period."

"Oh right, let me tell you first — at Su University, cash and Qian Cai aren't of much use. Everything is centered on credits."

"As long as your credits are sufficient, you can buy anything you want — S-rank skills, S-rank resources..."

"There are many ways to earn credits. Besides achieving a high enough ranking on the Earth List or Heaven List, completing school missions will also grant you corresponding credits."

"Also, this year's incoming freshmen at Su University are reportedly the most lavish in history — several provincial top scorers alone have already enrolled."

"Of course, besides the provincial top scorers, the other students cannot be underestimated either. After all, the college entrance exam cannot fully reveal a student's true strength."

"So, after you register and enroll, remember — do not be arrogant, and absolutely do not offend people for no reason."

Because these were students she had recruited herself, Su Mei couldn't help but say a few extra words.

"Understood." Zhou Yi solemnly nodded, indicating he got it.

"Alright, bringing you here is about as far as I go.

You'll see the freshman registration desk as soon as you go in. The people there will handle all the miscellaneous matters for you afterward — housing and the like.

I still have things to do, so I'll be off first."

As a level-42 professional, Su Mei naturally wasn't free with nothing to do.

Since she had safely escorted Zhou Yi to Su Hang University, her mission could be considered complete.

She took out her staff, and amid a surge of wild wind—

She abruptly rose into the air and swiftly vanished into the horizon.

"Tsk, high-level mages really have it good — one Flight spell and they come and go as they please.

I wonder when this Holy Knight of mine will ever be able to master a flying skill."

Flight — a flying skill that Second-turn method mages are able to master.

At low levels, one can only manage low-altitude gliding. Once raised to a high level, one can fly freely at will — extremely convenient.

After a moment of deep feeling, Zhou Yi dragged his suitcase and was just about to head inside.

Suddenly, a graceful, melodious voice rang out from behind him:

"Excuse me, are you a new student at Su Hang University?"
