The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

After Ye Xiao posted the recruitment notice.

as predicted.

The post went viral instantly.

A large number of students flocked in to check it out, and the news spread like wildfire.

Why does this happen?

It's because Ye Xiao is too famous.

As an E-level martial artist, he achieved outstanding results in the first freshman assessment!

It completely amazed everyone!

Therefore.

The celebrity effect led to Ye Xiao's post being forwarded the fastest.

but.

Ye Xiao's job posting went viral.

However, the content inside was entirely filled with doubts, ridicule, and even a lot of harsh and abusive voices.

"It seems that recruiting people is not a simple matter."

Ye Xiao sighed and looked at Wang Hou with a sense of helplessness.

Wang Hou comforted him.

"Brother Xiao, that's just because they don't know its value and don't understand the unlimited potential of our <Lingxiao>!"

"Just wait and see, time will prove the true value of 'Ling Xiao'!"

Wang Hou had no idea at that moment.

His casual remark turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Forget it, let's ignore those people."

Ye Xiao was not bothered by these people.

Wang Hou pressed, "Brother Xiao, what are you going to do?"

Ye Xiao said, "Let's go practice our boxing at the Gravity Tower. What about you? Want to come along?"

Wang Hou shook his head.

"There's something else."

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiao stared at Wang Hou curiously.

Wang Hou said, "The dean of our institute wants to meet you, and he wrote you a letter in person."

It wasn't an email or a text message, but a handwritten note.

"Does anyone still write letters these days?"

Ye Xiao mumbled as he took the letter sealed with dark red wax.

And you should know.

The letter was written by the dean himself and sealed with wax.

This is sufficient proof of the dean's attention and sincerity.

How many people in this school want to see the dean but can't?

Ye Xiao, however, received an invitation from the dean.

He unfolded the note; it contained only one line of text, written in vigorous handwriting:

"10:00 AM, Dean's office. Come in."

.......

10:00 AM.

Outside the Dean's Building.

The Chinese-style building appeared exceptionally quiet under the sunlight.

The bamboo grove rustled in the wind, and the koi in the pond occasionally leaped out of the water, making a soft splash.

The guard at the gate saw him but didn't stop him; he simply nodded, indicating that he should go in.

Lu Qingshan's office is on the third floor.

Ye Xiao knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Ye Xiao went inside.

Lu Qingshan sat behind his desk with a map spread out in front of him.

He was wearing a dark blue robe, and his white hair was tied up.

"sit."

Ye Xiao sat down opposite him.

There is a pot of tea and two cups on the table.

Lu Qingshan poured a glass and pushed it in front of Ye Xiao.

The tea is emerald green and has a faint, refreshing aroma; it's not the kind of tea bags sold outside.

Ye Xiao picked up the glass and took a sip.

Bitter, but with a sweet aftertaste.

Although he didn't know much about tea, he could still sense that this tea was of the highest quality.

"Student status, 100 times gravity, three minutes." Lu Qingshan leaned back in his chair, hands clasped in front of him, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Do you know how many people have ever accomplished this since the school was founded?"

Ye Xiao shook his head.

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and held up two fingers.

"Two people!"

"One is you, and the other is the principal!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, and he felt quite proud.

Then Lu Qingshan added a sentence.

"However, when the principal achieved this result, he had already entered the third realm, but when you achieved this result, you were only in the first realm."

"You are of a lower level than the principal, and your injuries are more severe, but in terms of talent and potential, you far surpass the principal!"

Ye Xiao paused for a few seconds, then quickly said.

"Dean, are you flattering me?"

"I'm not buying it."

He waved his hand repeatedly, declining Lu Qingshan's praise.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Qingshan laughed and said, "You're quite clear-headed, with a maturity and clear self-awareness rarely seen in a boy your age."

"However," Lu Qingshan changed the subject, "your cultivation level is lower than the principal's, yet you achieved the same results as the principal back then, which in itself proves that you are stronger than the principal."

"This is not a compliment, but a statement of fact."

Ye Xiao sighed helplessly and put down his teacup.

He said, "Dean, just say what you want to say directly. Stop beating around the bush and praising me."

"Alright!" Lu Qingshan nodded. "Then I'll get straight to the point."

"First of all, you've already joined the gifted program, but you haven't been attending classes. The gifted program teachers have asked me about your situation several times. You need to resume your student status as soon as possible and attend classes on time."

"The second thing..."

Ye Xiao immediately interrupted Lu Qingshan.

"Wait! Wait!"

Lu Qingshan stopped.

"Dean, what do you mean by that? How come I didn't know I was in the gifted class?"

"Also, I don't recall agreeing to join the gifted program, did I?"

Lu Qingshan considered many possibilities.

But this was the one thing I hadn't thought of.

Ye Xiao actually expressed a skeptical attitude.

"Hmm? You don't want to join the genius class?" Lu Qingshan asked back. "This is the best class, where you can enjoy the most cultivation resources in the school. Entering the genius class will be entirely beneficial to your future cultivation path."

Ye Xiao smiled faintly.

"Principal, these things don't hold much appeal for me."

"Besides, I'm fine staying in the regular class."

"Freedom, unrestrained, doing whatever you want, and no one will stop you."

An embarrassed look appeared on Lu Qingshan's face.

He explained, "Ye Xiao, it was indeed a lack of consideration on your part about joining the genius class; I didn't communicate with you in a timely manner."

"However, it's also because you were unconscious for too long and didn't wake up for a long time. In addition, the freshman assessment has ended, and you have achieved excellent results. You should have been admitted to the genius class."

Ye Xiao did not dwell on this topic.

Instead, he asked a question in return.

"Dean, what was the second thing you wanted to say?"

Lu Qingshan said.

"After discussion and arrangements by the school, it has been decided to send you to represent Jiang University in the Jiang City Five-School League, where you are expected to achieve at least a top-five finish!"

"Only in this way can we qualify for the National University Talent League, the Longyuan Cup!"

Just as Wang Hou had predicted, things came full circle.

The school placed Ye Xiao in the gifted class with a specific purpose in mind.

This Dragon Abyss Cup was also a goal that Ye Xiao set from the very beginning.

But at the moment.

A smile appeared on Ye Xiao's lips.

Lu Qingshan vaguely sensed that there was a hint of cunning in Ye Xiao's smile.

"Dean, what if I said I have absolutely no interest in this Dragon Abyss Cup?"

"I don't want to represent Jiangda University in the competition either."

"After all, I'm a well-known 'connected' student! If I were to represent the school in the competition, wouldn't I be disgracing our school?"
