Chapter 31: Brother, Let this Kid Come to the Military Academy!
“When it comes to providing resources for free to the extraordinary, Xingchen Academy has got them. Does that imply our Magic and Martial Arts Academy lacks them?”
“Listen, Student Zhao. Our Magic and Martial Arts Academy is even more well-stocked when it comes to resources!”
“We boast the most formidable magician and warrior in the nation!”
Nie Shan and Wang Min were passionately debating. Initially, the other three factions were just spectators, but Nie Shan’s words irked the head of Beijing Academy.
“Nie Shan, what are you implying?!”
“Since when did the strongest martial artist hail from your Magic and Martial Arts Academy?”
“That distinction clearly belongs to our Beijing Academy!”
Lu Yuanwei, in charge of Beijing Academy, immediately jumped into the fray.
The three of them engaged in a spirited exchange, hurling insults at each other, leaving Zhao Xing bewildered.
Why are all these influential figures so hot-headed?
As he stood there in confusion, someone gently tapped his shoulder. Zhao Xing turned around to see the admissions officer from Bailian Academy.
“Zhao Xing, I’m Zeng Yiming, the admissions officer from Bailian Academy. Consider joining our Bailian Academy!”
“As an Enchanter, we offer more extensive professional branches to cater to your needs.”
“For instance, at level 30, you’ll unlock the enchanting of skills, requiring collaboration with various professionals to demonstrate and enhance your skills.”
“When it comes to diverse professions, Bailian Academy is the top choice.”
“Are you familiar with our school’s history? It’s the amalgamation of numerous schools with different professions.”
“Setting aside everything else, if you seek practice partners, where else could be more convenient than Bailian Academy?”
Zhao Xing nodded in agreement.
Upon reaching level 30, Enchanters unlock enchanting skills, requiring collaboration with various professions. This was essential knowledge within their primary professional tree to enhance their proficiency. Enchanting skills stood out as one of the Enchanter’s core abilities.
As Zeng Yiming elucidated, Wang Min, Nie Shan, and Lu Yuanwei ceased their arguments. They didn’t want Zeng Yiming to gain an advantage.
“Bailian Academy offers comprehensive professions, but is it truly that challenging for us to find people?”
“Old Zeng, don’t attempt to mislead us. You make it sound like we’re incapable.”
“Be clear about it. How is it not misleading?!”
Consequently, Zeng Yiming also joined the melee.
Seeing these four individuals so enthusiastic, Zhao Xing suddenly felt overwhelmed. He had no clue whom to trust. The only one abstaining from the argument was Gao Feng, the representative of the top military academy. He knew that arguing at this point would be futile.
Ultimately, it would come down to who could provide the most resources.
The one who could captivate Zhao Xing first and secure his enrollment commitment – that was what truly mattered. Gao Feng had a better understanding of Zhao Xing compared to the other four. Witnessing Zhao Xing’s troubled expression, Gao Feng promptly intervened to diffuse the situation.
“Zhao Xing, I believe you need some time to rest and carefully think this over. Everyone, let’s halt the argument for now to avoid causing distress to Zhao Xing. President Yang and others have prepared a considerable amount of work for us. How about we all take a break?”
With Gao Feng’s intervention, the other four also ceased their arguments. Continuing the debate in this manner would yield no positive outcomes.
“Your words are indeed correct. We shouldn’t exert too much pressure on Zhao Xing. If it becomes overwhelming, it may have a counterproductive effect,” remarked one of the responsible individuals.
The four immediately began considering adjusting their strategy – first, make a positive impression, then regroup. They were all persistent in winning this competition.
“Gao Feng is right, Zhao, don’t feel pressured.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Yes, it’s time to take a break.”
“Principal Yang, we’ll leave it to you then.”
The atmosphere lightened, and Yang Tianming put on a reassuring smile.
Guan Ya led Zhao Xing out, and both breathed a sigh of relief. Guan Ya patted her chest and said, “Wow, so many influential figures, all above Level 65, and they’re all vying for you. When I saw that scene, I was afraid they would start fighting.”
Zhao Xing felt a bit helpless but also proud. The fiercer the competition, the higher his value.
“You probably won’t agree right away, will you? Do you have any inclinations?” asked Guan Ya.
“No, not yet,” Zhao Xing shook his head. “For such a significant matter, I have to discuss it with my family.”
While his family couldn’t make decisions, in a moment of glory like this, he wanted to share it with them.
“Yeah, that’s true.”
“So, where are your uncle and aunt now?”
“They left in the morning, and they should arrive today. I don’t know if the express train has any delays,” Zhao Xing pondered.
“Sister Ya, I won’t stay at school for now. I’ll go home first and take my younger brother to pick up Mom and Dad.”
Guan Ya asked, “Do you want me to accompany you? If your parents have any questions, having a teacher from the school to answer them can save a lot of trouble.”
Zhao Xing smiled and said, “Sister Ya, you’re always considerate. Okay, that would be great.”
…
Guan Ya and Zhao Xing had just descended the stairs when they spotted a military vehicle stationed in front of them. Gao Feng lowered the window and greeted them, “Are you both heading to the train station? I can give you a lift.”
“No need, Teacher Gao Feng, we can manage on our own.”
Gao Feng warmly insisted, “Come on, Zhao Xing, I have some free time, and my vehicle can enter the station directly without any hassle. It’ll save you a lot of trouble.”
Unable to resist his genuine offer, Zhao Xing and Guan Ya accepted the ride. In the lounge, Yuanwei, the Beijing Academy’s person in charge, was engaged in a phone call. His assistant rushed over.
“Director, Director, Zhao Xing got into Gao Feng’s car!”
“What? Why did that happen?”
Lu Yuanwei promptly stood up, ending the call, “I’ll look into this immediately!”
Gao Feng couldn’t access Zhao Xing’s file directly, but he opted for an indirect strategy. Knowing that Zhao Ruimin had military experience, he chose to play the emotional card. Well-prepared, he promptly picked up Zhao Xing’s parents upon learning of their return. However, he wasn’t the only one moving quickly. Lu Yuanwei, in charge of the Beijing Academy, swiftly caught wind of the situation.
“You crafty youngster didn’t expect you, with your bold moves, to employ underhanded tactics! Luckily, I had someone tailing you. Let’s go. We’ll discreetly set off!”
“Director, should we also head to the station?”
“Fool, it’s too late for the station. Of course, we’re heading to his residence!”
In Anyang City, at a star hotel, Zhao Ruimin and Qin Yulian were already being treated to dinner by Gao Feng. The esteemed 65-level transcendent powerhouse was extending hospitality to them.
It wouldn’t be right not to acknowledge this gesture, given their status. Plus, their parents had given their approval. So, instead of going home directly, they opted for the hotel first.
Confirming the authenticity of the recommendation news, Zhao Ruimin and Qin Yulian were excited. Gao Feng’s military background immediately gained Zhao Ruimin’s favor.
“Brother, let me tell you, Zhao Xing’s situation is genuinely impressive.”
“Brother, you’ve raised him well!”
“With his performance, he’ll undoubtedly contribute significantly to the country in the future.”
“You’ve raised a commendable son. Let me toast to you first!”
Under Gao Feng’s praise, Zhao Ruimin also felt a sense of pride.
“We haven’t paid much attention to him anywhere. It’s Xing’er who fought for himself.”
“But a toast is well-deserved. Here’s to him!”
Gao Feng, putting a hand on Zhao Ruimin’s shoulder, said sincerely, “Look, now is a critical moment for him.”
“Though talent is crucial, choosing the right path is equally important, right?”
“From your perspective, brother, what school surpasses our No. 1 Military Academy?”
Shaking his head, Zhao Ruimin replied, “Nowhere! It’s undoubtedly the top choice!”
“That’s right, graduates from the First Military Academy become officers.”
“With military backing, one can thrive anywhere.”
“Brother, do you agree with this reasoning?!”
Zhao Ruimin nodded, “Yes, absolutely!”
Seeing a positive atmosphere, Gao Feng continued, “Brother, have your child enroll in the First Military Academy.”
“With me overseeing, I guarantee he’ll receive the best training, and no one will dare to bully him!”
The two of them linked arms, exchanging toasts, creating a brotherly atmosphere. Zhao Xing and Guan Ya were left bewildered.
A barking dog, indeed doesn’t bite.
Gao Feng didn’t engage in conflict during the meeting, but now he displayed exceptional skill in handling things. Observing their camaraderie, anyone unaware would think they were long-lost brothers!
