Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 148 - 147: Teacher Taibai! I Want to Take Care of You in Your Old Age!
"Compared to the recommendation from the Observing Heaven Pavilion, another route might actually be more suitable for Brother Su Yuan."
Taibai Yuxi lifted her little face, looking at Ye Muyu, who still wore a smile:
"Sister Ye, you can’t deliberately not mention the preparatory class just because you fancy Brother Su Yuan."
"Preparatory class?"
Su Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Is there a preparatory class for the Top Ten too?
Ye Muyu shook her head helplessly:
"It seems Senior Brother Taibai does value this child Su Yuan dearly and has already paved the way for him early on."
She looked at Su Yuan and said with a smile:
"That’s right, aside from the college entrance exams, recommendation, and direct advancement from the affiliated high schools of the Top Ten, there’s another way to get into the Top Ten—attending their preparatory classes before the exams."
"As the name suggests, the Top Ten preparatory class isn’t established by a single Immortal Sect but is jointly created by the Ten Great Immortal Sects."
"The preparatory class commences six months before the college entrance exams. After passing the entrance assessment, students can preview the courses of the Ten Great Immortal Sects."
"If they perform outstandingly during the preview period, they can not only freely choose their desired Immortal Sect and corresponding faculty but might also achieve Foundation Establishment even before college."
Ye Muyu’s voice was warm and calm, but the content of her words caused many students present to breathe rapidly.
Jointly founded by the Top Ten, previewing the Top Ten courses, direct advancement to the Top Ten, Foundation Establishment before the exams!
Each term is immensely tempting.
Even if Su Yuan was hearing about the preparatory class for the first time, he immediately understood that compared to a recommendation spot, a spot in the preparatory class was undoubtedly more precious.
Especially the allure of Foundation Establishment before the exams was nearly enough to shake Su Yuan’s Dao Heart.
Before the college entrance exams, the vast majority of students neither achieve nor can achieve Foundation Establishment.
It’s not a matter of Foundation Establishment qualifications; it’s about compatibility with cultivation techniques.
After the exams, candidates apply to various universities.
Each university emphasizes different directions in their Foundation Establishment techniques, closely related to their subsequent courses.
Achieving Foundation Establishment before the exams isn’t strictly forbidden.
But can a shabby Foundation Establishment technique compare to the Foundation Establishment secret techniques meticulously developed by top universities, which consume countless resources and manpower?
Could you still integrate with the university’s courses after using a rough technique?
You’d simply be disqualified from admission.
Besides, since the college entrance exam is set up for Qi Cultivation students, if you, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, participate, do you think your grades in cultivation, sports, martial arts, and other courses will be zeroed?
Numerous cases have shown that no matter how talented you might appear before self-achieving Foundation Establishment, after doing so, only two paths remain.
Either join the workforce or spend your days in vocational schools without Foundation Establishment heritage.
In the modern cultivation system, gaining a secret realm opportunity or a fragment of a cultivation technique might not be beneficial.
It could very well be a dead-end entirely disconnected from Blue Star Federation’s educational system.
As for whether disciples from cultivation clans with complete inheritance can achieve Foundation Establishment before the exams?
That is possible, for some cultivation clans have inheritances on par with top universities.
But can a clan’s inheritance rival the Ten Great Immortal Sects?
The greater the clan, the more hesitant they are about casual Foundation Establishment.
Even if the clan’s youth reaches a bottleneck a year or two before exams with family resources, they still have to hold back.
In such a major environment, an opportunity to achieve Foundation Establishment earlier than others by one or two years—even uniquely with the Ten Great Immortal Sects’ exclusive Immortal Spirit Root Foundation Establishment—naturally drives all high school students into a fervor.
But soon after the brief excitement, most people calmed down again.
Because it’s easy to figure out the reason why such a beneficial thing isn’t widely known:
The threshold is high!
As high as a three to four-story building!
Even higher than direct recommendation to the Top Ten!
And Ye Muyu’s next words confirmed most people’s suspicions.
"The admission process for the preparatory class is very simple."
"Just obtain a recommendation letter from a Golden Core Doctor hailing from the Top Ten six months before the exams and apply before the preparatory class enrollment starts."
"Then pass the assessment set by instructors from the Ten Great Immortal Sects and gain their approval to enter the preparatory class and learn."
The entire place fell silent.
All candidates and the live stream audience collectively expressed their confusion.
Simple?
Is this what you call simple?
Just the hurdle of obtaining a Golden Core Doctor’s recommendation letter is enough to stop 99.99% of high school students, isn’t it?
They are Golden Core Doctors from the Top Ten after all; ordinary graduates from the Top Ten are far from reaching this standard.
In Taihua City, the existing Ten Great Immortal Sects’ Doctors probably only number Taibai Phecda and Ye Muyu.
In an instant, everyone cast envious looks toward Su Yuan.
Having a good teacher is truly impressive, isn’t it? Didn’t they say you can easily get a recommendation letter for the preparatory class?
Perhaps, apart from Su Yuan, other students in Taihua High School’s Special Advancement Class might also have the chance to obtain recommendation letters.
Ye Muyu looked toward Su Yuan and said with a smile:
"Each Golden Core Doctor has five recommendation slots every year, and you’re bound to get one of them, Su Yuan."
"If you maintain your current progress, you might have a shot at passing the preparatory class’s assessment."
"Barring any unexpected events, I will become one of this year’s preparatory class instructors for the Top Ten, and even if you don’t ultimately choose the Observing Heaven Pavilion, we’ll still share a mentor-student bond."
Su Yuan, after a moment of daze, quickly nodded, deeply moved in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Teacher Taibai had already paved such a broad path for him; he should really refrain from letting him down.
He made up his mind that regardless of whether Teacher Taibai acknowledges it or not, he would consider him his mentor in the future.
In the future, I must provide for him in his old age, and when he passes away, I have to erect a gilded tombstone for this benevolent teacher!
Then, Ye Muyu continued:
"I still have three recommendation slots unused in my hand, I hope the students of Taihua High School strive hard."
"During my stay in Taihua City, if any student performs to my satisfaction, I will leave all three recommendation slots here in Taihua City."
As soon as these words were said, the entire venue erupted, and even the nearby judges couldn’t help but show excitement.
Li Qingyun and Xiao Butian naturally set their sights on the recommendation slots in Ye Muyu’s hand.
Even though the younger generation of their family isn’t living up to expectations, they still need nurturing.
Can’t you start a new character? The main character may not be obsolete, but let’s make do with it for now.
After releasing this explosive news, Ye Muyu didn’t linger any longer and prepared to leave, holding Taibai Yuxi in her arms.
The five students from Observing Heaven Pavilion who came with her also left their seats to follow.
Before leaving, Chen Xian, who had watched the whole exam, gave Su Yuan a deep look, his eyes filled with jealousy.
What he envied wasn’t anything else, naturally, it was the application slot for the preparatory class.
As an adopted son of the Chen family, he was, of course, a talent carefully selected by his adoptive father, who was Grandpa Chen, Chen Nuoyi’s grandfather.
His talent wasn’t inferior to family heirs like Li Zhengxing and Xiao Meng, but he missed the opportunity to join the previous preparatory class.
Why?
Because Grandpa Chen was unwilling to invest in him, his adopted son, or humble himself to ask for a recommendation letter from a Golden Core Doctor from the Ten Greats!
Also, because he couldn’t catch a lucky break and clashed with Taibai Phecda’s return home for teaching and gaining prestige.
In contrast, Su Yuan, without doing anything, gained everything!
And once Su Yuan gets into the preparatory class, in the disgraceful situation of Li Zhengxing, Su Yuan will become the first choice for the Chen family’s son-in-law.
It’s necessary to speed up the process!
He must quickly cut off Su Yuan’s chance of entering the preparatory class before Taibai Phecda returns!
A ferocious look flashed in Chen Xian’s eyes:
"Originally, I didn’t want to be this ruthless, but your rise is so swift that I have no choice but to go to extreme measures!"
That last glance from Eldest Young Master Chen before leaving was naturally detected by Su Yuan.
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly.
Instead of waiting for Eldest Young Master Chen to secretly sabotage him, it’s better to prepare early, to strike first!
And just at this moment, a clear "ding-dong" sounded in his ear.
[You have caught the attention of a prodigy from one of the Ten Great Sacred Lands!]
Oh wow, the tasks are coming up so soon after the Eight-School Competition ended?
Nice, nice, bring it on.
[Prodigy Chen Xian is the loyal retainer of the Righteous Saintess Chen Nuoyi.]
[Having rarely returned home from studying in the Ten Great Sacred Lands, he witnessed firsthand the pure and innocent lady he has been steadfastly protecting being corrupted by you, reduced to being the toy of you, the demon!]
Not loyal, just a standard villain young master, please don’t randomly add drama, dog system.
And what does ’plaything’ mean? It’s such an obscure term that readers would have to look up the meaning!
[Main quest "Sacred Land" has been updated!] 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
[Task: First encounter with the disciple from the Sacred Land (ongoing)]
[To rescue the princess you have imprisoned in the tower, Chen Xian decides to risk his life to eliminate you, the demon!]
[And you happen to have a thought of planting a spy in the Observing Heaven Sacred Land, please, by any means necessary, turn Chen Xian into your loyal dog!]
Damn dog system, you skipped the process of defeating Chen Xian?
Going straight to taking Chen Xian as a loyal minion, you think too highly of me!
[Mission progress: Take as a dog (0/1)]
[Mission reward: Random special attack attribute against the Ten Great Sacred Lands*1]
Hmm?
Seeing the mission reward, Su Yuan’s spirit lifted.
Special attack attribute against the Ten Great Sacred Lands?
Though I’m not sure what exactly it is, it will likely be helpful during my time in the preparatory class of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.
It seems that for the sake of security and future development, Chen Xian has to be dealt with.
Su Yuan’s mind turned rapidly, quickly thinking of a solution to deal with Chen Xian.
And as the judges finished evaluating the students from the Eight Schools, Old Huang left Su Yuan alone for an interview.
Leaning on the popularity of over a million viewers in the Eight-School Joint Examination livestream room, Su Yuan fiercely advertised his Miao Yin account.
Regarding the secrets of Abyssal Spiritual Power and Hypnotic Sword Qi, naturally, he left a suspense to entice viewers to follow his livestream as a gimmick.
After a round of advertising, Su Yuan’s livestream channel gained 200,000 followers in one go, overtaking Yin Qiyue in the number of fans.
After advertising, Su Yuan returned to school, continuing to ponder strategies while studying with his classmates.
As night fell.
After having dinner at the Chen Family Manor, Chen Xian’s phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up to see it was the store manager of the water army shop calling.
After listening carefully to the call, he couldn’t help but show a look of pleasant surprise:
"What? You say Su Yuan is currently out on special training with classmates from the Special Advancement Class and is very likely to stay behind alone after the training is over?"
"You’ve done well; if the news is true, you’ll be well-compensated! Where’s the special training location? Send it to me right away!"
"Next to the national highway on the outskirts of Taihua City?"
"Mm, a good place, secluded enough."
......Dividing line......
PS: Thanks to Big Boss "Life-saving Jade" for the reward!
