Chapter 615: Before Enrollment

In the Three Palaces City, the crown of Tengzhou, three of the five major universities are rooted here: Blue Ice, Zixue, Chi Xue, Longteng, and Changsheng.

Three Palaces City is precisely where these three universities stand. Although the three major universities do not closely cooperate, their mere coexistence in one place signifies a powerful alliance. After all, besides the strength of the universities themselves, the competence of their competitors is also essential. Even those interested in Changsheng or Longteng often choose to come to Three Palaces City due to its heightened competition.

This unique situation gathers nearly all the talents of Tengzhou in Three Palaces City, and each year’s Three Palaces Conference is a grand spectacle, showcasing a battle of extraordinary talents that delights the people of Tengzhou.

This excitement naturally represents countless unsuccessful candidates. With a million examinees competing for three thousand spots, it would be strange if there weren’t a plethora of extraordinary individuals, and it could be said that the best of the best are gathered here, the quality rivaling that of thousands of years ago…

The entire Three Palaces City revolves around these three major universities.

The three universities occupy the largest areas, and the periphery consists of commercial streets and various other schools, making it an excellent representation of a school city.

The Wanling Group’s Lingyue Garden has existed in Three Palaces City since ancient times and occupies a notably significant piece of land. This often invites criticism, with many considering it a waste of valuable land resources and spreading rumors about the privileges of the upper class.

This is indeed true, so the Wanling Group chooses to ignore the criticism. As one of the few major corporations, its involvement is crucial for the operation of Three Palaces City; it inherently enjoys various privileges and exemptions, and the doubts of ordinary beings fall well outside the Wanling Group’s concerns.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ye simply sighed and murmured, "History is a cycle," then fell into other troubles.

To be precise, it couldn’t be classified as troubles; the transcendent heart he possessed made his mindset stronger than ever. The issues he faced felt more like minor annoyances, worthy of some complaints.

The next day, after Yun Ye left Lingyue Garden, despite the sudden drop in spirit energy density in the air, the buildings and people around him made him feel as if he had returned to the modern world. Though there were some differences, with a more sci-fi twist, it indeed had the atmosphere of a modern city.

Tall buildings, a clear blue sky, a few large floating Flying Ships soaring above, and cleaning robots bustling around. The passersby wore light and simple clothing.

Casual shirts and trousers were everywhere, and he saw no traditional outfits at all. As soon as Yun Ye stepped out of Lingyue Garden, he felt like a giant panda attracting countless gazes.

"Simple and convenient wins too much…"

…

Amid the overwhelming crowds.

"Is that the Long family’s car?"

"It seems Princess Linglong has arrived!"

"To have such a genius show up on the first day, I wonder what rank Long Linglong will achieve!"

A top-of-the-line Wanling anti-gravity car slowly came to a stop, drawing significant attention since such cars are quite rare.

In this end of the law era, spirit energy is extremely scarce; transmission arrays and flying artifacts have long been abandoned due to their excessive energy consumption.

As a result, various vehicles powered by solar energy or other non-energy sources have emerged.

The top-of-the-line anti-gravity car produced by the Wanling Group stands out from the rest, especially the premium model, which holds a value of at least over two hundred million.

Considering the current economy of Tengzhou, the average ordinary being would not earn a million in their lifetime, and two hundred million is terrifyingly high.

Yet, even so, professionals recognize the practicality of the Wanling anti-gravity car, believing it is entirely worth that two hundred million.

Following the Wanling Group’s standard for high-end vehicles, each Wanling anti-gravity car is unique and can be freely customized, allowing people to identify their owners.

This particular car is even more special, engraved with the Wanling Group’s symbol, clearly indicating it is the private vehicle of the Wanling Group’s princess.

Inside the car, the driver is someone else.

Yun Ye and Linglong sat in the back seat, with Linglong’s hand already resting on the car door.

"Linglong, you will also enroll in Zixue Academy? Which subject?" Yun Ye asked before getting out of the car.

Linglong was dressed in her school uniform, not a maid outfit. There was a hint of eager excitement in her emotions; she wasn’t just there for a visit.

"I’ll be studying Spirit Law. I excel at solving problems before they arise, so the chairman asked me to enroll alongside the young master and follow his instructions at all times—besides, I am already a student in the elementary division of Zixue Academy."

In other words, without Yun Ye as an extra factor, she would still be enrolling at Zixue.

"I see. By the way, Linglong, just call me Liu Sheng at school; no need for extra formality." Yun Ye said.

"Yes, thank you, young master." Linglong nodded.

The car door then opened, and the two stepped out smoothly, demonstrating an exceptionally high level of spirit energy control.

"Wow!"

Amid the overwhelming crowds, many people turned their attention toward them.

Linglong wasn’t lying; she was not just a student in Zixue’s elementary division but also a prominent figure, and her appearance attracted a massive amount of attention.

However, this kind of attention was just a normal reaction to her accumulated fame and could not compare to the natural charm of Yun Ye.

Just by standing beside Linglong, all the brilliance of this celestial beauty seemed to be overshadowed by him.

"What a beautiful young man! And dressed in a robe… it looks so fitting!"

"Why is Long Linglong standing with this young man? What’s their relationship?"

"So annoying, get lost, woman!"

Whether male or female, no one could take their eyes off him; they instinctively felt that this young man was special.

The emotions in the crowd intensified, and numerous pieces of Spiritual Attire began to emit warnings, as owners suspected they might be under Spirit Law manipulation. The scene became chaotic within moments.

"Uh…"

Linglong had anticipated this kind of situation but didn’t expect it to be so exaggerated.

That made sense.

She specialized in Spirit Law and was a rare Super Genius, unable to resist such charm. Forget about the examinees who fell short of her capabilities, and even those family members who had long abandoned their training.

"…"

Yun Ye silently pressed his hand against his forehead, shaping the Spirit Law and completing a sealing technique.

He took on the mysterious veil of ‘Beauty,’ but not in some flashy way; rather, he used a sealing technique to suppress his charm.

This technique formed a tight mark on his forehead, hidden beneath his bangs, allowing his allure to return to a level acceptable to ordinary beings.

He had been worried about the attention his robe drew but had forgotten that in this life, his remarkable appearance and charisma were hard to conceal.

—Though it didn’t matter much; wearing a splendid robe was eye-catching enough.

"Is he another ancient cultivation genius in a robe?"

"I hope he has strength, not just good looks."

"From his aura, he is certainly not an ordinary person, especially standing next to Long Linglong… could he be a Super Genius secretly nurtured by their group?"

"Possible. It is said that some techniques require a pure heart; returning to nature and simplicity can calm one’s heart and help comprehend profound meanings."

"By the way, this person is too beautiful—is he really a man? I don’t believe it!"
