Chapter 271: Highly Regarded By the Dean, Su Bai and Zi Wuji’s First Encounter

“I may be sent over during your gymnasium’s assessment for disciples,” Chen Ruoxue said with a smile while she was lying in Su Bai’s arms early the next morning.

“That’s pretty good. I was afraid that I would be too bored. It’s so much better with you around.” He looked at his girlfriend’s small face and smiled.

“Okay, let’s get up. I’m going to Dragons’ Nest today; maybe I’ll be a half-step title-level Pet Tamer when I come back tonight!” She stopped his hand from touching her, kissed him on the cheek, and then got out of bed while giggling.

The title-level Pet Tamer referred to summoners who had an amethyst contract book and an emperor pet.

Even if her two dragons were promoted to the emperor grade, if her contract book stayed at the diamond grade, she could only be regarded as a half-step title-level Pet Tamer.

He looked helplessly at his girlfriend when she ran away from him and could only reluctantly get up to go to the gym.

After arriving at the gymnasium, he noticed that many disciples had brought their pets and prepared for the recruitment of new disciples tomorrow.

He first went to the administrative building. When he came over, Dean Qin Miao sent him a message, asking him to come over.

“Dean.” He knocked on the door and walked in.

“Tomorrow is the disciple recruitment assessment; do you know the specifics?” Qin Miao raised her head and looked at him.

“Yes.” Su Bai nodded.

The appraisal of disciples was actually very simple. It would be held in the most direct way of hunting monsters. A special assessment area had been drawn up inside Heavenly Abyss. Most of the monsters inside were monarchs, and there were many low-level emperors, with a few being mid- or high-level emperors.

Although the level requirement for one to become a disciple was above the elite Pet Tamer, that was, having a golden contract book and a commander pet were the minimum criteria, most people actually had monarch pets.

However, because the age requirement was under twenty years old, very few people had emperor pets.

They would be recruited directly as disciples without any examination.

At that time, all branch disciples, who had come to participate in the assessment, would be put inside Heavenly Abyss. Regardless if they hunted or looted inside, their ranking would be based on the number of monster crystal nuclei they had collected when they emerged.

Usually, the main hall only managed to recruit up to thirty thousand disciples, but according to Su Bai’s knowledge, almost one hundred thousand people had come to participate in the assessment this time, showing the fierce competition.

Moreover, these one hundred thousand people had come here after several assessments, which featured written examinations and other preliminary examinations. It could be said that wanting to enter Yulong Gymnasium was really like a multitude of troops and horses crossing a single-plank bridge.

After the thirty thousand disciples were selected, it would be time for the two divisions to show off their muscles and recruit disciples.

At this time, there would be a contest among the disciples to show off their strength. Of course, Su Bai, as the senior brother, did not need to play. Zi Wuji and he were the hosts.

Both divisions of the gym would compete for resources, and then the newly recruited disciples would choose a gym for registration.

As for the final sorting, et cetera, it was all within the gymnasium.

In the past, the God Dragon Division had always failed miserably, losing in competition for securing resources.

Who told the Giant Dragon Division to earn the support of a curator?

“That’s good. These are some resource points. Some of them were given by some seniors in our gym. Try to attract more new disciples this time; everyone hopes that you can become the next curator.” Qin Miao took out a document and handed it to him as she spoke slowly.

Su Bai looked at the file and was very surprised. There were nearly a thousand more resource points in it, and they were all very good ones.

Although he knew that many elders supported him because they did not want Zi Wuji to be the curator and did not want Yulong Gymnasium to become the Zi family’s, he was still very grateful.

“Thank you, dean.” He quickly thanked her.

“You’re welcome. Since I was the one who chose you, I naturally hope that you’d become the curator,” Qin Miao said with a smile.

After speaking, she took out a storage box and placed it in front of him.

“There are some resources very useful to your pets. You have to improve your strength as soon as possible. Although your strength is good, it is far from enough.

“You are growing so fast, so the curator might decide to retire early, thus speeding up the selection process of the gymnasium’s new master.”

Su Bai took the storage box, used his mental power to investigate it, and then was shocked. Inside were all emperor spiritual fruits; there were more than one hundred of them and also thousands of mid- and high-level monarch spiritual fruits.

Many of them were extremely precious and hard to find on the market.

Although they were not as powerful as Sea Emperor Fruits, they were still not bad.

The contents were Origin Crystal Fruits which could directly upgrade pets by a small level, Silver Heart Fruits which could help pets improve their spiritual power and rule affinity, Law Fruits which allowed pets to comprehend part of the power of law, and Special Gem that could upgrade the contract book.

In addition, there was a Blood Curse light ball of a sovereign bloodline monster. This thing could directly allow his pet dragon to break through the mid-level, or even high-level, emperor grade.

These things were the real treasures of the various gyms, and it was nearly impossible to buy them on the market. Only this kind of power, which had been passed down more than a hundred years ago, possessed them.

Moreover, with there not having many big forces, these stocks had accumulated over the years.

It was also possible for many to visit all kinds of dangerous places in the space cracks, so ordinary people would at least need a new lease on life if they desired these materials.

At this time, more than a hundred such fruits were placed in front of Su Bai.

This made him feel the warmth from the gymnasium and the care from the elders both physically and mentally.

“Take these and just work hard,” Qin Miao said with a smile. She thought he was afraid of accepting them.

“Thank you, dean.”

He thanked her from the bottom of his heart. This woman was so awesome, and since she had recruited him herself, she had never treated him badly.

She had stood her ground against the opinion of the masses and had pushed him to be the chief disciple. Moreover, she had never been stingy with any kind of resources.

He felt like he would have to fight for the position of the curator to repay her.

“This is my ID. Whatever skill jade you need, you can directly go to the building for the skills and get it. I have three chances every month; you can get any local skill jade with this ID.”

Qin Miao threw the ID to him.

He glanced at the woman, who was wearing a black office uniform and sitting in an office chair, and suddenly felt that he was being provided for.

“Thank you, dean.”

He thanked her again and removed the distracting thoughts in his heart.

“Go on. Work hard!” Qin Miao smiled slightly and waved her hand.

Leaving the curator’s office, Su Bai took the things that Qin Miao had given him to another building and waited for Han Wei and the others, who were still teaching ordinary students.

The disciples naturally had courses, but there were very few of them. They also had assessments. Pet Tamers had strong memorization skills, but there were many things to learn, which was naturally so at a gymnasium this big.

For example, they needed to memorize the monsters illustrated in books, which would be updated from time to time. This way, they would be more skillful in battles.

Generally speaking, though, different classes would be taken according to the level of the disciples.

For example, Han Wei and the others are teaching ordinary students, but at the same time, they would go back to listen to more powerful seniors or college elders.

This was also one of their tasks, which could be exchanged for exclusive contribution points for the gymnasium.

Su Bai did not go there because he did not have time. When he had time, he himself would read books or watch some videos of Pet Tamers’ battles.

In fact, attending classes or not was entirely up to the disciple. Anyway, as long as he passed the assessment, no one would care.

Su Bai, for his part, had not been to East Capital Heavenly Abyss University for more than a year yet remained a top student.

His journey to the Abyss Star Territory was enough to complete all the credits; he could even graduate early.

He looked down at his watch and then at the office which now belonged to him. This was his first time here.

It was still early, so he took a book and read it.

He did not have to wait long for the single morning class to end and to receive the branch disciples at noon.

Soon, classes ended, and He Yu first came to his office.

She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and off-white denim shorts; her pair of long legs was very eye-catching.

She walked in front of Su Bai and handed him a document. “Senior brother, this is the resource point I have earned. I did what I had said that I would.”

Su Bai took a look at the file and saw more than a hundred resource points. Indeed, He Yu was really conscientious.

“I understand. I’ll leave the management of this hundred resource points to you.” He nodded.

“You still don’t want to accept the core disciples I lead?” she stared at him and asked.

“Of course I’m willing. Rest assured; I’ll try my best to treat all tasks equally in the future, and everyone speaks through their strength.”

He glanced at the woman and said, “If you’re willing, you can follow me to do tasks.

“It happens to be the disciple recruitment; there are still three places in our division’s competition which have not been determined. They will be handed over to you, you can find two more people besides yourself.”

“I’m willing to follow you. Thank you, senior brother,” He Yu said quickly, with a smile on her face.

Her cold face smiled very beautifully, just like a pear blossom bathed in the rain, but then she quickly closed her smile again and pretended to be unaffected.

Su Bai smiled and did not say a word. Seeing someone happy to stay by his side and work for him gave him a refreshing feeling.

In fact, this could not be blamed on this woman. She was different from others. Her whole family had been on God Dragon Division’s side, so it was impossible for her to help Giant Dragon Division.

Now that the God Dragon Division was united, all the elders were supporting Su Bai.

The parents in her family wanted her to befriend him as much as possible and strive to be his confidant.

Faced with this situation, what else could she do?

Moreover, this young man had indeed proven his irreplaceable identity and completely convinced her with his strength.

Just before coming, she had been very nervous, afraid that he would embarrass her deliberately. After all, she had been against him before.

However, his generosity was beyond her expectation. It seemed that he did not care about what had happened before. Not only was he willing to keep her by his side, he also directly gave her three very important places.

His attitude was really admirable. If it were her, she would have to test the other party for a while.

“Here. Drink tea.” Su Bai poured the woman before him a cup of tea. He understood what she was thinking but did not care about it at all.

Others, be it He Yu or the neighboring Zi Wuji, regarded Yulong Gymnasium as everything.

He had never thought about it this way, though; his heart was in a wider place, in an infinite void.

He wanted to be a curator, just for the needs of his current stage and to obtain what he required.

Even if he became the curator, one day he would go to a wider world.

“Thank you.” He Yu took the cup with both hands.

Not long after, Han Wei and Ouyang Du also came. Seeing the woman, the two were a little surprised but still greeted her politely.

After all, in terms of strength, she was still much stronger than them.

“This is He Yu. I shouldn’t need to introduce her. From now on, she will stay by my side and do tasks like you.” He explained it to the two.

Ouyang Du and Han Wei nodded. Both smiled and stretched out their hands. “We welcome Senior Sister He Yu to our side.”

“Thank you. I hope that we can get along happily in the future.” He Yu also smiled.

“Okay. Let’s talk about the recruitment of disciples now. Everything that should be prepared is ready. The disciples of the noon branch will arrive one after another; get ready to respond…”

Su Bai discussed all the matters, assigned tasks to the three, and then took them to check the area.

As the main hall host, he must show his majesty and power, so he had to pay attention to all aspects today.

“Senior brother, the time is up. You should take us out on behalf of the gymnasium to welcome people from the branch.”

Han Wei looked at her watch and said.

As the main host, it was natural not to let the dean greet the people of the branch. What kind of tradition was that?

This task naturally belonged to the chief disciples of the two divisions.

“Okay, let’s go out first.” Su Bai nodded.

When he came to the gate, he saw Zi Wuji, the chief disciple of the Giant Dragon Division and also the son of the curator Zi Tianhe.

Zi Wuji, who was 1.9 meters tall, wore a white ancient martial arts uniform. He had long hair which fell straight to his chin; it reached up to his midsection, revealing a handsome face that was not inferior to Su Bai.

The most distinctive feature was his pair of pupils; it was a clean purple shade, extremely rare among humans.

If Su Bai gave the feeling of a trace of evil in the sunshine, then Zi Wuji gave a sacred atmosphere in the gentleness.

This kind of breath was more derived from the backfeeding of his pets. Among Su Bai’s pets, the Ancestor Blood Dragon was from the evil camp, and the breath of Starry Omnivore Kraken and Little Tyrant were also leaning toward the evil side.

Ice Phoenix’s aura was cold, and Planet Eye had no emotion at all. Thousand-face Fox was fine, but after the fusion with the Demon Crystal, the level of its evil could rank second after the Little Blood Dragon.

Under their backfeeding, even if he himself was bright and stalwart, his aura could not help but bring a trace of depth, darkness, and evil.

This was because his beginner pet was Purple Jade. Otherwise, even with his aura, he would definitely exude more evil than he did at this point and would look absolutely the same as the dark big BOSS in the anime.

On the other hand, Zi Wuji’s beginner pet was a three-generation Sacred Dragon, a light attribute dragon. Furthermore, his other pets were not particularly evil, so his breath naturally brought a touch of sacred and magical aura.

The meeting of the two people was like the meeting of bosses on opposite sides.

“Hello, Brother Zi.” Su Bai walked over and greeted the guy with a smile.

“Hello, Junior Brother Su.” Zi Wuji also responded with a smile.

The two seemed to be brothers who had not seen each other for many years. They were smiling and talking in a kind and friendly manner.

However, in fact, this was the first time they had met. Zi Wuji had not been around when Su Bai first came to Yulong Gymnasium and had only returned when Su Bai came back from Abyss Star Territory.

Although the two of them were very familiar with each other’s name, they were still meeting each other for the first time.
