Full-Time Magister: The Path to Invincibility

Chapter 169 Main Campus Assessment

…………

Happy times are always short-lived. Soon the winter vacation was over, and it was time for students to go back to school or for the new semester to begin.

The huge Jinyuan Apartment complex felt somewhat deserted.

Qing Campus Lobby...

Ling Tianyu made a long-awaited visit to the Qing Campus, watching Dean Xiao standing on the high platform, giving a long and eloquent speech, explaining the brutal competitive model of Mingzhu University.

"To this day, I am still very gratified. I have seen the growth of many people. There are many outstanding talents among this class. I hope you will not be too arrogant, but work hard and not bury your talents."

"Take Ling Tianyu for example. You should all be very familiar with him. You all know what happened in the Beast Fighting Tournament. Let's just say, his strength is top-notch even in the main campus! Moreover, he comes from Bo City, and I believe there are very few people here with a worse background than him, right? But why can he take on a hundred people at once, while you can't? You need to think about this carefully."

"However, for the vast majority of students, the main campus assessment is like a dark cloud hanging over all of you. But that's not entirely wrong. The competition in our university is intense. Even if you have outstanding talent, you can easily be eliminated if you don't work hard."

"Stop thinking about those romantic young relationships. This is your last stop before entering society, or even your first. No matter how much suffering you endure, swallow it down. No one will sympathize with the weak!"

Dean Xiao's demeanor had drastically changed; the gentle elder of the past had vanished. In his place stood a stern old man. Indeed, in this magical world, magical cultivation was everything. If your magical cultivation was high, you would earn the respect of others; if your magical cultivation was low, your status would only be slightly higher than that of ordinary people.

This sudden change has indeed made it difficult for many students who were living comfortably to adapt.

"All students whose cultivation level has not reached the intermediate level of mage are not qualified to participate in the main campus assessment. You only have 3 years left in the Qing Campus. Within 3 years, you can enjoy the school's training, resource supply, and various preferential treatments."

However, if you still cannot break through to the intermediate-level mage within these three years, after leaving Pearl Academy, you should no longer consider yourselves students of Pearl Academy!

These words struck like a thunderbolt into the minds of every student: if they didn't make a breakthrough in three years, they would no longer be students of Mingzhu Academy. This was simply too inhumane.

"Those who haven't reached the intermediate level of mage can leave now. This battlefield does not belong to you."

"The weak do not belong to our Pearl Academy. What you need to do now is to be able to stand tall and proud when I say these words next year. Now, you can start working hard for next year!"

Despite their resentment, they could only slink away under Dean Xiao's oppressive presence.

Ding Yumin and Ai Yunling stood on either side of Ling Tianyu. Ding Yumin, of course, needs no introduction. As one of the newly crowned campus beauties of Mingzhu Academy, she is among the top in terms of both talent and strength among the freshmen.

Ai Yunling is also very good-looking, with a lively appearance that has attracted many secret suitors.

Why is it that Ling Tianyu feels an inexplicable sense of a perfect match between the two?

"Isn't Dean Xiao being too strict?" Ai Yunling clearly still had some questions in her mind, after all, she hadn't experienced enough.

Ling Tianyu has witnessed all her efforts these days. She often works day and night to control the fire star map, and now she has mastered the intermediate-level fire magic quite skillfully.

At the same time, her wind element cultivation has reached the second level of the initial stage, and in terms of strength alone, there are not many freshmen who can match her.

"No, I think Dean Xiao's request is quite normal. The demon crisis that we humans are currently facing is not that simple. Now you have someone to urge you on at school, but in the future you may have to pay the price of your life to learn the harm of laziness," Ling Tianyu explained.

Weak. I'm telling you to get lost now because you're still in school. When you go out into the wild and encounter demons, your weakness will only make you a delicious lunch, dinner, or maybe even breakfast for them.

"Yes..." Ai Yunling felt inexplicably down, thinking of sad things.

"From now on, Sister Yu Mian and I will be your family!" Ling Tianyu comforted her.

…………

The drama unfolding among the freshmen right now could fill a dozen TV series. Some boys who had broken through to higher levels of cultivation looked down on girls who spent their days in nightclubs and glitz, while some girls, frustrated by their lack of progress, broke up with boys who hadn't. Of course, there were also cases where it seemed like all four of them from the same dorm had failed the entrance exam...

This is the cruel competition in society. Limited resources will ultimately be given to those who are talented, willing to work hard, and have strong mental fortitude.

There are still about 1000 people left, which is quite a large number.

"So those who are still confident of staying, congratulations on entering the main campus of Pearl Academy," Dean Xiao said, his tone changing.

He seemed to have transformed back into the kind and amiable elder he once was.

"Wasn't there supposed to be an assessment? Is that all? How will the rankings be determined then?"

Some people raised objections.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Dean Xiao said, taking out a scroll from his pocket.

"The military has issued a commission. Rodents are rampant in the western suburbs of Shanghai, greatly affecting the lives of the locals. Students from Mingzhu Academy need to go there to clear them out."

"Dean Xiao!" A bespectacled boy raised his hand and asked, "What are the strengths of those rodents? Can we handle them?"

"Don't worry, according to the survey by relevant personnel, most of those fanged rabbits are at the servant level, and a small number are at the early stage of the warrior level. Moreover, these fanged rabbits have limited combat power and are timid by nature. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't attack you."

"This operation will be conducted in groups of five. The group that collects the most rabbit teeth will receive a chance to train in the Three-Step Tower."

Dean Xiao said.

"What?! The Three-Step Tower!" The students were in an uproar. The Three-Step Tower was a name that every student at Pearl Academy had heard of, and its cultivation speed was incredibly fast.

Moreover, this opportunity is extremely precious, and even the top students in the diocese are eager to seize it. So why should these students from the Green Campus be able to obtain such a valuable opportunity?

"Let's give it our all!"
