"Damn it, it’s that dream again." Jiang Ye shook his head, unable to suppress a low hum. Lying down only brings that repeated dream; how is one supposed to sleep ? "Li Qingyue." Jiang Ye recalled this time’s dream, gaining quite a bit of new information. The woman with golden eyes and an icy beauty, her appearance was extraordinary, and she bore some resemblance to him. "My biological mother?" Jiang Ye shook his head. The woman named ’Li Qingyue’ with the golden eyes might be related to him by blood, but she shouldn’t be his biological mother. No mother would call her child a ’bastard’. "My father probably failed the certification." Jiang Ye recalled: "But why would he be so severely injured?" He suspected that his biological father might be crippled or on the verge of death. Otherwise, how would Li Qingyue dare to tear things apart so directly? "There’s indeed a risk of injury in the Star Sea Divine Path certification." "But such severe injuries? It should be more than just the First Break, possibly a higher realm." Jiang Ye shook his head. More than this, he was even more curious about the ’Li Family’ mentioned by Li Qingyue. "Sounds like some big family." Jiang Ye recalled the dream, pondering: "Could it be that my father was expelled by the Li Family, so he wants to fight back?" "Or perhaps the mother is from the Li Family, and the father is not welcomed there?" As the dream continued to unfold. Jiang Ye started to grow curious. Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to unravel this dream and then get a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, the information he had was still too little. Many things could only be speculated in fragments. What is the truth? It was unknown. "Martial Arts Celestial Ladder!" Jiang Ye silently chanted in his heart. This dream stirred him up so much that he had no mind to sleep. He might as well enter the first layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder and have a night battle. While Jiang Ye was immersed in the night battle. In the sky, clouds like ink with lightning slithering like snakes... "Riiip~" Suddenly, an inconspicuous crack appeared, from which an evil and terrifying wave emanated. Faintly, a huge shadow flashed past. But it was just a fleeting glimpse. "Rumble!" A torrential rain poured down, accompanied by thunder and lightning. This was nothing but an ordinary summer thunderstorm, and no one paid it any mind. In the following two days, Jiang Ye spent his time in cultivation. Time flowed like water, disappearing in a blink. Unknowingly, it was already the last night before the college entrance examination. Jiang Ye was still diligently cultivating, sprinting to the finish line. In Penglai University, located in East Sea Province, one of the ten provinces of the Eastern Domain, a special meeting was being held. In the platinum floating buildings. A group of men and women in white robes sat around a conference table. "This time, our Penglai University’s recruitment plan is roughly ." The silver-haired elder, Elder Bai, in the main seat, spoke slowly: "Does anyone have anything to add?" The crowd murmured among themselves; no one spoke immediately. Just then, a red-haired elder raised his hand and said: "I have a suggestion." "Old Zhu?" Elder Bai nodded at him: "Feel free to speak." The red-haired elder was Zhu Honglie, who had previously recommended Jiang Ye. Zhu Honglie’s face was ruddy, with a hearty smile: "Didn’t we sign a batch of young folks in advance before?" "Let’s see how they performed in the latest exam." "If there are any particularly outstanding performances, we can appropriately raise the contract levels." "This could also reduce the workload in the later stages." Zhu Honglie proposed. As soon as he finished speaking. The crowd all nodded in agreement. More than three months had passed. They were also curious about what level those hundreds of young folks who signed early had reached now. If the scores exceeded expectations, they would prepare higher level contracts in advance. To extend invitations right after the college entrance examination finishes. So as not to be snatched away by the top ten prestigious universities. After all, signing early is not direct admission; it’s only linked to bonus points. Elder Bai, after a moment of pondering, nodded: "Alright." He immediately instructed the data controller to retrieve the recent information on the hundreds of students who signed early. The work efficiency was swift. "Beep!" On the big screen at the front of the conference hall, lists of data appeared. Detailed information on those hundreds of students, including their latest exam scores, was revealed. Penglai University has always been monitoring these students who signed early contracts. Thus, their exam scores are basically all recorded. [Liu Feng (Level 3 Preparatory Star Profession), May Exam Score: 925 points] [Liu Xinxin (Level 3 Preparatory Star Profession), May Exam Score: 919 points] Elder Bai nodded slightly. Most people’s scores were as expected. Just then, Elder Bai suddenly noticed an unexpected name. [Yun Qing’Er (Level 3 Preparatory Star Profession), May Exam Score: 930 points] "930 points?" Elder Bai was slightly taken aback and quickly checked Yun Qing’Er’s previous records. "Three months ago, it was just 900 points." "In just three months, actually improved by 30 points?" Seeing this, Elder Bai immediately said, "This student named Yun Qing’Er, should be upgraded from A Level contract to Upper A Level contract." Suddenly, someone let out a soft huh. "Look at this student named Jiang Ye." "May exam score is only 839." "There’s still quite a distance from our admission line, I’m afraid." Hearing this, the teachers present all looked at Jiang Ye’s data. [Jiang Ye (Level 2 Preparatory Star Profession), May Exam Score: 839 points] "Level 2 Preparatory Star Profession? Is this the student recommended by Old Zhu." "It is indeed a bit low." "Even if breaking through the First Break, just reaching 850 points, there’s still a gap of tens of points from the D Level contract." The audience discussed. Many people secretly glanced in the direction of the red-haired elder Only to see Zhu Honglie sitting upright, gently shaking his head. "You all only see that his scores aren’t up to standard." "But three months ago, Jiang Ye was only at 690 points." Zhu Honglie shook his head and said, "In three months, improving nearly 150 points is very impressive." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Jiang Ye was recommended by a friend of his at White Dragon University. He has always thought highly of him. "This Jiang Ye, is he from An City?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed from the conference table. Everyone looked over simultaneously. "Old Chen?" Zhu Honglie also looked at the other party. It was an elder with a full head of white hair, his eye sockets deeply sunk, looking like he was over a hundred years old. He was the high-level professor at Penglai University, Chen Yuntian. "Old Chen, you weren’t at the last meeting, so it’s normal you don’t know." Zhu Honglie chuckled and said, "This Jiang Ye comes from a small city in West Mountain Province and possesses Original Talent, which is precisely what makes him valuable." "I see..." Chen Yuntian nodded slightly, seemingly pondering. After a moment, he spoke, "Elder Bai, regardless of whether Jiang Ye’s scores meet the standard or not, I want him." "At that time, just have him become my disciple." As soon as Chen Yuntian said this. Elder Bai hadn’t reacted yet. Zhu Honglie first furrowed his brows, then said discontentedly, "Old Chen, that’s not fair, Jiang Ye was recommended by me, if anyone should take him, it should be me." Chen Yuntian laughed hoarsely, "Old Zhu, you don’t know how to mentor students, let me handle it." "You just got lucky, took a few talented students." Zhu Honglie snorted coldly, "Otherwise, would I lose to you?" At the conference table, everyone was somewhat stunned. Zhu Honglie and Chen Yuntian, these two senior powerhouses of Penglai University, are actually fighting over a student whose scores aren’t even up to standard? "Could it be that Jiang Ye has some hidden details we haven’t discovered?" Everyone began to ponder. Meanwhile, Elder Bai also realized something. He looked at Chen Yuntian and curiously asked, "Old Chen, what do you value about Jiang Ye?" Elder Bai was very familiar with Chen Yuntian’s temperament. If he didn’t take students. He takes only the best. But Jiang Ye, judging by his current performance, is still far from that standard. "Don’t overthink it." Chen Yuntian chuckled, "I’m just tired of taking good students and want to take one with poor talent, that’s all." Zhu Honglie glanced at him but was very skeptical. This old guy never acts without benefits; he must have seen something in Jiang Ye. "Could it be..." Zhu Honglie suddenly showed a hint of enlightenment. Right at this moment, Elder Bai at the main seat raised his hand and said, "Alright, stop arguing." "An earlier contract has been given, even if Jiang Ye’s college entrance exam scores aren’t up to standard, Penglai is willing to make an exception for admission." "If his college entrance exam scores meet the standard, then consider upgrading the contract." Elder Bai said calmly, "At that time, you can argue again." Everyone nodded, agreeing that this was indeed appropriate. Ultimately, everything depends on the college entrance exam scores!
