At the Federal Academy's first teleportation center, space surged violently, and two men appeared in the same spot.
"Jiang Yan?"
"Ye Mo?"
The two spoke at the same time.
"Congratulations, Brother Jiang." After a moment of silence, a man said with a complicated expression.
Before the world of "All Realms" was launched, he and Jiang Yan were geniuses on par in the academy. But now, their status has undergone a complete transformation.
"Congratulations, Brother Ye," Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"It seems the overall results weren't good this time; only the two of us made it into the top 10,000." Ye Mo glanced around and said, "But with you here, having passed the Dominator level, it doesn't really matter."
Those who qualify for the Tower of Inheritance will be teleported out two days later than others. At this moment, apart from the staff, there are no other students here.
"Just lucky." Jiang Yan shook his head, without any arrogance.
He knew he was just lucky; his abilities weren't any better than his opponent's. In their previous lives, they were about the same level, both passing the difficult-level assessment.
Ye Mo was slightly taken aback by the other party's calm expression, then chuckled and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of luck. Have you thought about your choice? Once you leave here, the forces that want to recruit you could stretch all the way to outer space."
“Naturally, I’ll stay in the Federation,” Jiang Yan countered. “And you?”
"What do you think?" Ye Mo shrugged. "Nothing outside is as good as home, and besides, I can cling to your big, thick leg."
"However, your situation is a little different. It's best to wait three days before making a decision."
"I understand, thank you." Jiang Yan nodded.
Three days later, the registration for "All Realms" will be completed, and he can return to the "All Realms" space at any time without worrying about encountering any dangers from the real world.
"You're welcome. I remember you got a perfect score in general knowledge class, so I don't need to tell you." Ye Mo chuckled. "Alright, let's go. Don't keep the people outside waiting."
"It is indeed a grand affair." Jiang Yan sensed for a moment and found that there were at least 30 powerful superhumans in the auditorium outside the teleportation center. They were probably high-ranking officials of the Federation and representatives of some other forces.
If it weren't for the Star Empire's laws explicitly prohibiting non-examinees and staff from entering the teleportation area, these people would probably have blocked the teleportation point directly.
"Let's go." Jiang Yan said helplessly. He had expected this scene and there was no way to avoid it.
After passing through the long corridor and the hundreds-of-meters-long mission release area, we arrived at the inner door of the auditorium.
The two exchanged a glance and then pushed open the door to enter.
In an instant, all thirty-odd powerful figures in the hall turned to look at them, the weakest of whom was a demigod.
Jiang Yan stepped forward without making a sound, blocking Ye Mo's path.
Although these people tried their best to restrain their oppressive aura, it was still more than a newly entered extraordinary student could withstand. However, he possessed the Heart of an Angel and was unaffected.
"Thank you," came a soft voice of gratitude from behind.
"You're welcome, we're even," Jiang Yan replied, taking the opportunity to sized up the guests from various factions.
The man at the head of the left is familiar to me; he is the academy's dean, a lord-deity.
Judging from their attire, the person at the front right should be from the Star Empire Embassy.
The various factions were clearly separated, and there was no scene of them rushing forward all at once as I had imagined.
"This must be young brother Jiang Yan. He is indeed a man of great talent. I am a special envoy from the Starry Sky Empire. I wonder if you have time for a private chat?" The ambassador from the Starry Sky Empire spoke first.
"Hello Jiang, I'm a representative from the Tianji Alliance..."
"I am a representative of Luoyun Mountain..."
After the Star Empire spoke, the other forces also came forward to express their opinions.
"Thank you all for your kindness, but the continuous assessments over the past ten days have left me exhausted. May I rest for a couple of days before making a decision?"
Jiang Yan said apologetically.
"Of course, it was we who were inconsiderate." The ambassador of the Star Empire smiled and said, "This is my contact information. Please contact me anytime after you have rested."
"Young man, here's my contact information..."
"This is mine..."
No one was surprised, and they all stepped forward to exchange contact information. Most geniuses historically choose to discuss terms only after ensuring their own safety; their presence today was merely to demonstrate their stance.
After all, this is the only person in the history of the Star Empire to pass the Sovereign-level assessment and the only one to reach the twentieth floor of the Tower of Inheritance.
Its intrinsic value, as well as the intelligence value of how it was obtained, is immeasurable.
Therefore, many forces are thinking that even if they can't recruit them, they should at least get to know them and build good relationships, so they send out all sorts of shrewd and capable elites.
There are no such people who forcefully coerce or are self-righteous fools.
Ye Mo, on the other hand, looked somewhat helpless.
Normally, as someone who passed the difficult level assessment and ranked among the top 10,000, he would have been recruited by some powerful forces and wouldn't have been ignored like this.
About an hour later, all the factions had finished exchanging contact information and then left.
Jiang Yan let out a long sigh, pressed his face which was a little stiff from smiling, and turned to the old man who had been silent all along, respectfully saying, "Dean."
Ye Mo quickly stepped forward and called out, "Dean."
Jiang Yan held the dean of the academy in high esteem. Not only did he owe him a debt of gratitude for teaching him, but he also admitted many students in the elite class, including himself, through special admissions. It was said that this had squeezed out many children of powerful and wealthy families.
"You two are both very good." The old man looked pleased. "The higher-ups specifically called me back and asked me to keep you two here."
"But I only know how to do two things in my life: fight wars and teach. I can't bring myself to force others to make decisions."
"Kids your age, back in the day, would have been living the best years of their lives. They could be dating, playing virtual games with friends, or speeding through space in their spaceships. We old folks are still alive, and we shouldn't put any pressure on you."
The old man shook his head and smiled, "So, go ahead and do whatever you have ideas. The academy will always be your home."
"Dean..."
"Alright." The old man waved his hand. "Besides me, Old Du, Old Zhang, and a few other god-level experts will be guarding the area for the next few days. Rest well and don't leave the academy grounds. We'll talk about the rest in a couple of days."
The two nodded emphatically upon hearing this: "Dean, we'll head back to our dorms now."
"Um."
The old man watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his smile gradually fading.
"how?"
"Quite a few rats have sneaked in. There was only one god-level one so far, but Old Du killed him." A flash of lightning appeared, and a dignified middle-aged man stood to the side.
"These shady characters, with the Abyss invasions becoming more and more frequent, are still thinking about infighting all day long," the old man sneered.
"Don't worry, teacher. Lao Du and I will stay here for the next few days. Once those two little guys have completed their registration for 'All Realms' in three days, we won't have to worry anymore."
The middle-aged man rubbed his temples and said, "However, the pressure in the abyss is getting greater and greater. Although Old Du is powerful, he is only one person. I can hardly hold on anymore. I don't know if this little guy will choose to stay."
