In the City Lord's Mansion, the white-haired and white-browed City Lord Bai Yuan was somewhat puzzled. He had arranged for all the geniuses from various planes to be assigned to the tenth district of the island.
But those geniuses didn't interact with Yang Shen at all, nor did they have any conflicts, which puzzled him.
However, he didn't dare to push things along and could only observe quietly from the shadows.
Suddenly, Bai Yuan received a message, and his expression changed, a look of envy flashing in his eyes.
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Yuan finally released an announcement:
[To all survivors of Zhutian City, a message has arrived from Zhutian Academy: the academy's powerful members have laid out countless opportunities on Blue Star. If you can seize enough of these opportunities, you will have the chance to enter Zhutian Academy for further study!]
The announcement caused an uproar throughout the entire city of Zizai Zhutian.
All the cultivators, regardless of age or cultivation level, excitedly left the City of All Heavens and headed outwards.
Because the Academy of Heavens is recruiting students, no one wants to miss the opportunity.
After seeing the announcement, Yang Hongyan seemed to realize that she could contact her brother through her ID card.
Having grown accustomed to the apocalypse, she had almost forgotten about remote communication methods and was momentarily stunned.
She immediately used her identification card to ask where her brother had gone.
Yang Shen, who had already grown to adult size, received a message from his sister shortly after entering the library.
Yang Shen naturally saw the announcement as well. After thinking for a moment, he replied: I have my own things to do. You should also participate in the competition for opportunities. If the Zhutian Academy is really just an academy as it is written, then it will be beneficial for you to go in.
Just after replying to his sister, Elaine suddenly sent him a message: Brother Yang, do you want to participate in the competition for opportunities?
Yang Shen replied directly: I don't have time right now, but I might participate; it's uncertain. You and Hongyan should join the others and compete for opportunities together.
Elaine replied again: Brother Yang, I'd like to see you, is that alright?
Yang Shen's eyes flickered, and suddenly some images appeared before his eyes: a picture of Elaine looking into the distance from a high place, cold and bewildered.
Behind Elaine, there was a large group of followers whose faces were obscured, and Elaine's demeanor in the scene also underwent a significant change.
The strange premonition startled him for a moment. After a brief deduction, he replied: "I don't have time right now. Elaine, I know why you chose to follow me, and I understand you. I won't restrict your freedom. Your decision to stay or leave is yours. I've given you everything I can; your future depends on yourself."
When Elaine, who was on an outlying island, saw Yang Shen's reply, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a sense of unease and uncertainty.
Does Brother Yang know I'm thinking of leaving? Will he blame me?
Elaine felt a little flustered.
Indeed, her decision to sacrifice herself for Yang Shen was merely a temporary measure; everything she did was for survival, to stay alive, and there was absolutely no emotion involved.
Now that she no longer faces a survival crisis and has better options, her first thought is to choose what is better for her.
After all, people strive for better things. In this apocalyptic world, everyone looks out for themselves. She just wanted to live a better life and never thought of doing anything to wrong Yang Shen.
Her original plan was that if she really wanted to leave, she would leave quietly. After all, Yang Shen never seemed to care about her, so he probably wouldn't be sad about her disappearance.
But now that she knows Yang Shen knows she wants to leave, Elaine is still a little flustered.
She didn't reply, and she was somewhat afraid to reply, because Yang Shen's unfathomable aura had always made her feel insecure.
...
After replying to Elaine, Yang Shen notified Gao Shou, Wang Yanbin, and others, asking them to assist Yang Hongyan in participating in the competition for opportunities and striving to enter the Zhutian Academy.
Later, Yun Zixin also sent a message asking him if he would participate in the competition for the opportunity.
Yang Shen naturally replied that he would not participate, telling Yun Zixin to take care of her own safety. Then he focused on reading and supplementing his basic knowledge.
This basic knowledge may not be of much use to other practitioners, but it is a great treasure to him.
A day passed quickly, and the repulsive force of the library began to appear.
Although Yang Shen was already able to resist the rejection of this rule, he did not resist and left the library following the force of rejection.
Since I've read everything I need to read, the remaining magazines are just for broadening my horizons, not for much else.
It was nighttime in Zhutian City, which should also be nighttime on Blue Star.
There were few pedestrians outside the library, and almost all of them were ordinary people; the cultivators had all left.
Yang Shen walked onto the street, looked up at the night sky of Zhutian City, and enjoyed the rare tranquility.
"Although this tranquility is fake, it's truly captivating!"
Yang Shen sighed inwardly, glancing at his accumulated experience points. He found that, unsurprisingly, he had already accumulated more than 10,000, even approaching 20,000.
This is not surprising. Although the upgrade threads of Yun Zixin's azure armor and the various items on her sister and the others have been severed, they can still provide him with experience.
Moreover, the numerous steel needles he still possessed within the teleportation array must have provided him with a wealth of experience.
With all the things he'd created before, it's quite normal to accumulate nearly 20,000 experience points in a single day.
Especially now that Yun Zixin and others are competing with others for opportunities, their possessions will definitely be seen, and their experience will increase.
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly a coughing sound rang out.
Yang Shen turned around and saw a disheveled old man limping towards them.
In Yang Shen's eyes, the old man appeared normal on the surface, but his body was riddled with injuries, and he was almost on the verge of death. He was only able to hold on until now because of sheer willpower.
