The Demonic World I designed
Chapter 308 - 308 300 Pattern!_2

308: Chapter 300: Pattern!_2 308: Chapter 300: Pattern!_2 Seeing Murong leading by example, the others felt compelled to follow suit.

Bei Yu thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll try my luck at the Huang Academy.

If I can discover the Technique from the Fertile Plains, it would not be a wasted journey.”

“I’ll head to the Mystic Academy then.

I’m quite interested in their medical school.

There’s too much mixed blood in our Wolf Country, which often leads to Sanguine Madness.

If I can cure this, I might even make a name for myself in the annals of the Wolf Country, haha…”

As one after another disciple stepped forward, Murong’s expression greatly improved.

Change often begins just like this, little by little.

He believed that within his lifetime, he would certainly be able to build a city in the Northern Wolf Country that could rival Lyuzhou!

Standing about ten meters away, Shen Xue watched this unfold with a hint of sourness in her heart.

She, too, had come here to secure a spot at either the Mystic Academy or the Earth Academy, not with ambitious designs like that of the young man, but merely for self-preservation!

After enduring yesterday’s ridicule, Shen Yu’s behavior became increasingly erratic, especially toward her, growing more and more irascible, breaking into tirades at the slightest provocation.

Although he had not resorted to violence, she knew all too well that any slight irritation might be enough to cost her life before even getting the chance to attend the examinations.

In such a situation, she certainly didn’t dare to apply for the Heavenly Institute.

His jealousy had become utterly warped; a Magician from the Heavenly Institute, a position that could most threaten his status, if pursued by her, would most likely provoke murderous intent.

In contrast, choosing other constructive branches of the Academy, continuing to immerse herself in the miscellaneous studies he disdained, was the only way to allay his suspicions.

Of course, this was not what she wanted, but what choice did she have?

Now, observing the siblings of other families and then considering her own, her heart truly ached.

If Shen Yu could possess even a tenth of their breadth of mind, and with Shen Yuan’s advantages, the Shen Family would undoubtedly rise again.

But alas…

————————

“Young master…

are you here to apply for the Heavenly Institute?”

At the Heavenly Institute’s application booth, Shen Yu was greeted warmly upon his arrival; the heads of major families had been favoring the Heavenly Institute over the past few days, which had pleased the officials there to no end.

The Jiangnan Academy’s most challenging division, the Heavenly Institute, had become the least popular.

Had Nan Ming Prefecture not made an impressive display, by now there might have been no one applying at all.

Now, with a large number of other prominent families’ talented disciples favoring this place, the Heaven Academy Disciples responsible for recruitment were quite delighted.

After all, several major projects were severely understaffed.

Looking at the enthusiastic Heaven Academy Student, Shen Yu’s expression softened a bit.

That’s more like it.

This was the treatment they, the top talents, deserved.

“Are you coming from the North or from the Capital City?” the staff asked warmly as they poured tea after confirming his intention to apply.

Sipping on the local tea, Shen Yu had a complicated expression.

No wonder Mister Bai had such disdain for the Shen Family’s tea; he wasn’t just being petty.

The tea from Jiangnan and that from the Capital City were incomparable.

He had heard that some fine teas had found their way from Jiangnan, but unfortunately…

they had all been monopolized by the great families.

With one sip, an exquisite fragrance spread across his palate, providing an endless aftertaste.

More importantly, his state of mind instantly improved; this tea, as the legends said, had the effect of replenishing Spiritual Energy!

I must stay in this place!!

Apart from the academic studies in Jiangnan, the environment alone was worth staying for.

The rich Spiritual Energy permeating the land was comparable to his family’s highest-grade Spirit Field.

Coupled with the teas that nourish the spirit and the foods that replenish qi and blood, even just cultivating here would be far more efficient than back in the Capital City!

In the Capital City Academy, he had almost completed his studies and was about to be assigned as an assistant to an Academic Commissioner.

Since he was going to be posted elsewhere anyway, why not choose such a desirable place as Jiangnan?

“The Capital City…” After savoring the tea for an extended moment, Shen Yuan finally snapped back to reality and replied.

The recruiting staff were not hurried.

Their welcoming tea was Green Cloud Verdant from Daqing Mountain, considered a premium tea throughout Jiangnan.

It was normal for newcomers, who had never tasted such tea before, to react this way.

“The Capital City, huh?” The recruiter’s smile broadened even more, considering this morning’s registration; the quality of Capital City’s young elites was much higher compared to those from the north.

It seemed today he would pick a fine candidate.

It just so happened that my group’s project was desperately short of people.

Although newcomers couldn’t be much help, it was best to snag them first; we could slowly cultivate them later.

“May I ask for your name, young master?”

“Shen Yu…..”

“Shen Yu?” The other party was momentarily stunned, finding the name somewhat familiar.

After thinking it through, they suddenly realized—wasn’t this the clown from yesterday at the city gate?

That joke, a senior sister from Heaven Academy had talked about it just yesterday, sending the whole group of Heaven Academy disciples into fits of laughter.

They never expected to actually meet the clown in person today.

For a moment, the expression of the person in charge of recruitment fell.

Shen Yu frowned, “Is there a problem?”

“This…” The other party thought for a moment, then politely said, “Master Shen, I’ve also heard about yesterday’s incident at the city gate…..”

At those words, Shen Yu immediately flushed with embarrassment and annoyance, but he couldn’t lose his temper with a stranger, so he could only hold back and say, “That was an accident…..”

“Well…

let’s not talk about whether it was an accident or not, but you must be clear, Master Shen, that the assessment for Heaven Academy is the most difficult out of the four academies.

From what you said yesterday, it seems you haven’t even finished reading the first three chapters of ‘Fundamentals of Spell Formations.’ With such achievements, it is far from enough to join Heaven Academy.”

“Do I have to learn that to join the academy?” Shen Yu’s brow furrowed deeply.

The recruiter looked at him as if looking at an idiot, “What we teach at Heaven Academy is the way of spell formations, what do you think?”

“Don’t you consider other qualifications?”

“Such as?”

“Meditation efficiency, inherited talent for techniques—aren’t these the talents that a magician’s offspring needs the most?”

“Well…

Meditation efficiency does have certain requirements, but it doesn’t affect the assessment.

High efficiency is naturally good, but we’re not afraid of low efficiency either.

What Jiangnan lacks the least is spiritual energy.

As long as your mind is sharp enough to keep up with the spell formations curriculum, you can definitely meditate in a place with a concentration of spiritual energy ten times richer than here to catch up with the progress.”

“Ten times higher??” Shen Yu’s eyes immediately turned red!

Even spirit fields cultivated by a thousand-year-old family for a millennium wouldn’t dare to make such a claim, was this person mad?

“Such places really exist?”

“Of course…..” The recruiter smiled, “In the seven provinces of Jiangnan, wherever there is a Mountain God, the concentration of spiritual energy is guaranteed.

Especially in Daqing Mountain of Lyuzhou, in certain locations within the mountain, the concentration can reach more than thirty times that of ordinary places.

Moreover, as long as you’re a student of the academy, you can apply to go there, so you don’t have to worry about that at all…..”

Bang!

Shen Yu couldn’t help but stand up.

His eyes were as red as a mad bull’s!

At that moment, he was certain, he must stay at Jiangnan Academy!!!
