“Knock, knock, knock!”

Su Yu was talking to Chen Hao when the door was knocked.

“Who is it?”

“Is Su Yu home?”

Su Yu was a little puzzled. He stood up, walked to the door, and took his knife with him, but didn’t get close to the door. He asked again, “Who is it?”

Chen Hao, standing beside him, was a little surprised to see him waiting at the door with a knife. Was it that exaggerated?

“A comrade of your father’s!”

Outside the door, Lao Xie smiled and said, “Young man, you’re quite alert. I’m at the Soaring realm. That knife won’t do you any good.”

Su Yu was a little embarrassed and didn’t say anything.

The other person could sense it directly, so their strength was far stronger than his, even if they weren’t at the Soaring realm.

Su Yu put down the knife and opened the door.

Two people were standing outside the door. The one in front was Lao Xie, and Su Yu found the other one familiar. After a while, he recognized him and hurriedly said, “Uncle Qian is here.”

The middle-aged man, called Uncle Qian, smiled and nodded, “A Yu, it’s been almost a year since we last met.”

“Uncle Qian, please come in!”

Su Yu immediately greeted him. This was a friend of his father’s, though he hadn’t had much contact with him.

He was also an old comrade of his father’s, though not from the same batch. They had both served in the Demon Suppression Army.

Su Yu had forgotten exactly what he did in Nan Yuan, but he was probably a small leader in some organization.

Lao Xie entered the door directly, laughing loudly, “Young man, your alertness is good! Just like those of us who served in the military. You’re a true military family! It seems your father taught you well. You haven’t let us military folk down!”

Su Yu smiled and didn’t say anything, curiously looking at Uncle Qian, wondering who this person was.

Uncle Qian coughed lightly and introduced, “A Yu, this is Lord Xie from the Dragon Martial Guard.”

“Don’t be so polite. I’m just a few years older. Call me Uncle Xie!”

Lao Xie said to Su Yu, as if he were already familiar, and strolled around the house, looking at Chen Hao, laughing and saying, “This is your friend… Chen Hao?”

Chen Hao was completely bewildered. He didn’t recognize the other person, but when he heard that he was from the Dragon Martial Guard, he excitedly said, “I’m Chen Hao, Uncle, are you from the Dragon Martial Guard?”

“That’s right. I used to be in the Demon Suppression Army. Later, I went to the Dragon Martial Guard. The Dragon Martial and Demon Suppression are one family! We’re all in the same family!”

Lao Xie laughed loudly, without any of the seriousness of a soldier.

“Su Yu, aren’t you going to ask us to sit down?”

Su Yu finally recovered from his trance and hurriedly asked them to sit down, kicking Chen Hao, “Go pour tea!”

“A Yu, you don’t have any tea!”

“…”

Su Yu cursed inwardly, couldn’t you have just made something up and brought some plain water?

Lao Xie said with a smile, “It’s okay, we don’t need tea!”

As he spoke, he waved Su Yu over, “Sit down and chat. This is your home, don’t be polite, and don’t be reserved. We’re all family.”

Su Yu sat down, still a little confused.

His father wasn’t home, and these people came to visit him… something felt a little off.

“Oh, you’re looking at the enrollment process?”

Lao Xie suddenly saw the process chart on the table and said with a smile, “Where are you two planning to go? We’re all family. Are you planning to go to Dragon Martial Academy? That’s good. If you go to Dragon Martial Academy, we’re all family. It’s good to have someone to help you out.”

Chen Hao stood to the side, saying awkwardly, “We might not get in.”

“Who says?”

Lao Xie smiled and said, “Of course it’s difficult for outsiders to get into Dragon Martial Academy, but for family, it’s easy! Little Chen, you have 30 extra points, right? I see you’re at the Origin Opening fifth level, so Dragon Martial Academy will be easy. I’m telling you, you’re accepted!”

“…”

Chen Hao was completely dumbfounded. He was accepted?

What was going on?

Uncle, are you here to tease us?

At that moment, Su Yu seemed to understand, and he laughed a little, coughing lightly, “Uncle Xie is… from Dragon Martial Academy?”

“Oh, you know that?”

Lao Xie smiled and said, “That’s right. I’m a training instructor at Dragon Martial Academy now. I’m one of the proctors for this year’s Nan Yuan assessment, so when I say you can get in, you can definitely get in!”

“We’re all family. I can’t not take care of the descendants of the Demon Suppression Army brothers, can I?”

Chen Hao really wanted to say that his father wasn’t in the Demon Suppression Army!

Su Yu didn’t give him a chance to speak, and said with a light smile, “Uncle Xie, then I’ll thank you for Chen Hao!”

After saying that, he looked at Chen Hao and said, “Hao Zi, if you don’t get into Great Xia War Academy, then go to Dragon Martial Academy. Uncle Xie is familiar there, and you’ll have someone to look after you when you go.”

“…”

Lao Xie chuckled, not saying anything, finding it a little interesting.

He was even trying to trick him.

However, with Chen Hao’s grades, it shouldn’t be a problem to get into Dragon Martial Academy.

He didn’t say anything and waited until he finished speaking before saying, “Aren’t you two brothers going together? When you get to the academy, you’ll have someone to look after you. You’re unfamiliar with the place, so it’s good to have two people together, so you won’t be lonely.”

“A strong person can endure loneliness.”

Su Yu said, and then smiled, “Uncle Xie, to be honest, I mainly want to cultivate in the Civilization Path. I’ve paid attention to and learned about Dragon Martial Academy. It seems like there are Civilization Master courses, but…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Lao Xie understood.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but laugh, “That was before. This year is different! Since you have Liu Wenyan as your teacher, then you should know what a Researcher level means. Of course, this is the division of Civilization Academy, but in general, you can understand it as strength.”

“This time, more than ten Intermediate Researchers and several Senior Researchers from the Dragon Martial Guard will return. In the future, the war in the Heavens Battlefield will decrease, and these people will be teaching at the academy! And in our academy, there are very few Civilization Master students. You can say that there is a formal Researcher guiding every 10 students!”

“And Great Xia Civilization Academy, I admit, they are very strong in this area, but there are also many students. Graduates, non-graduates, old-timers, there are tens of thousands of people without even reaching the Soaring Realm!”
Old Xie said earnestly, “There are less than 300 researchers still teaching at their academy, with an average of 100 students per person! Su Yu, do you think you can really learn anything at the Civilization Academy? The competition there is extremely fierce, full of intrigue, especially with the recent opening of the Myriad Races Training Institute, which has created even more chaos!”

“Once you get there, you might not see a formal researcher for years, and even if you do, they won’t pay attention to you.”

“It’s different at the Dragon Martial Academy. You are a child of the military, which already gives you a favorable position. Plus, you have good talent. Once you get there, you might even have a senior researcher specifically mentoring you. This is a completely different level of treatment!”

Old Xie spoke sincerely, sighing, “I also have high hopes for you, because I believe that the descendants of soldiers are the most outstanding…”

Su Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If you said that out loud, there are millions of military personnel in the entire Great Xia Prefecture, and even more descendants. It’s a meaningless statement.

“Uncle Xie, I’ll consider it further.”

“Don’t consider it! Just come, why even bother with the assessment? I’ll specially recruit you!”

Old Xie said it with great generosity, “There’s no need for that assessment thing. We’re all family. Just come right in. Special recruits get extra rewards at the academy, with 100 merit points given directly to you. You wouldn’t earn that much in years at the Civilization Academy!”

“Without merit points, you’re just a gofer at the Civilization Academy. You’ll be doing odd jobs for years, and by the time you’re older, you’ll have missed the golden period for cultivation, and you’ll be useless.”

Hearing this, Chen Hao’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, “Do I get that too?”

“…”

Old Xie really wanted to say, have you looked in the mirror lately?

However, he swallowed the words back and said with a smile, “If Su Yu goes to the Dragon Martial Academy, how about I give you a Yellow-Rank, mid-grade battle blade?”

Chen Hao opened his mouth wide. That’s over a hundred thousand!

Is the Dragon Martial Academy that rich?

The next moment, Chen Hao woke up, feeling somewhat disappointed. I’m not stupid. It only works if A-Yu goes. But A-Yu definitely won’t go. He’s already in the eighth level of the Opening Yuan realm. Who would go to the Dragon Martial Academy?

Isn’t the Great Xia War Academy better?

Although the Dragon Martial Academy is rising rapidly, it has a shorter history after all, and can’t compare to the Great Xia War Academy’s deep foundation. For one thing, the Great Xia War Academy has far more Mountain and Sea Realm experts than the Dragon Martial Academy.

Seeing Su Yu unmoved, Old Xie didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “Su Yu, think carefully! 100 merit points, 10 drops of Yuan Qi liquid, and one opportunity to enter the Secret Realm. This is the highest level of treatment in the entire Great Xia Prefecture, even the Dragon Martial Academy!”

“Even some geniuses who have reached the ninth level of the Opening Yuan realm and have outlined a complete divine script don’t get this kind of treatment. Only with special academy approval do some people enjoy it.”

“It’s the same at any academy. If you go to the Civilization Academy, even if you say you’ve outlined a divine script, your willpower is still too weak. I’m afraid they won’t give you such a head start!”

Old Xie said earnestly, “Within my authority, I’m fighting for the greatest benefits and the best treatment for you! And what I said about the chaos at the Civilization Academy isn’t a lie. You can ask your teacher about the current situation there.”

Su Yu nodded, “Thank you for your concern, Uncle Xie. I’ll think it over.”

“Think it over carefully. If you come here, you’ll also have a chance to see your father. The Demon Suppression Army rotates its duties. Once your father retreats from the front lines, you’ll have the opportunity to visit him anytime. That’s not possible elsewhere…”

These words struck a chord with Su Yu.

Su Yu was silent for a while, then said again, “I’ll think it over carefully!”

“Then I won’t bother you anymore!”

Seeing that he hadn’t been moved, Old Xie was also somewhat disappointed, but he had already said so much, and there was no point in pressing the issue further.

…

Old Xie left. Uncle Qian accompanied him just to prove his identity, so Su Yu didn’t need to think too much about it.

After they left, Chen Hao said enviously, “A-Yu, did they come to specially recruit you in advance?”

“Yeah.”

“Is this what it’s like to be a top student?”

Chen Hao looked miserable. We’re so unlucky. We have to worry about passing the assessment, but others are being specially recruited, with offers that make me want to rob them! And Su Yu still won’t agree.

Su Yu smiled and said, “The Great Xia Prefecture doesn’t lack geniuses. The Dragon Martial Academy approached me… probably for other reasons.”

It wasn’t just because he knew a lot of Myriad Races languages, nor was it because he was at the eighth level of the Opening Yuan realm. The Dragon Martial Academy wouldn’t lack those things.

The key was that he assisted the Wind Catching Hall in killing a Myriad Stone. They could probably guess that he had completed outlining a divine script.

Although Captain Liu said he wouldn’t leak the information, it wouldn’t be surprising if the military knew.

The Dragon Martial Guard is the representative of the military in the Great Xia Prefecture.

“The Dragon Martial Guard…”

Su Yu murmured to himself, feeling somewhat emotional. His greatest wish in the past was to enter the Dragon Martial Guard, and so was his father’s.

But today, a Soaring Skies Realm expert from the Dragon Martial Guard came to recruit him. Xia Bing had also mentioned it before.

Sure enough, everything needs to be earned by oneself.

If he was still at the third level of the Opening Yuan realm, no one would have come to recruit him.

Su Yu didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with that. If you don’t have the value, why should others look up to you?

The so-called military descendant is just a stepping stone.

It naturally adds some closeness, but relying on that identity to do anything is wishful thinking. The Great Xia Prefecture has no shortage of military descendants.

However, once you have value, that identity becomes very useful.

If there was someone with the same talent and the same realm as Su Yu, and Su Yu was a descendant of the Demon Suppression Army, while the other person wasn’t, then the Dragon Martial Guard might not even bother with the other person, but they would definitely look at Su Yu with a different eye.

This is the natural attribute belonging to the identity.

Su Yu understood these things thoroughly. At this moment, what he was thinking about wasn’t these things, but whether he could fight for more resources if he went to the Civilization Academy.

His teacher told him to perform well, but to keep something in reserve.

Keep something in reserve… would keeping the illustrated book in reserve count as powerful?

He could unleash the killing power of the seventh level of the Thousand Jun realm. Would that count as keeping something in reserve?

He had mastered two divine scripts. Would using one of them count as keeping something in reserve?

When he thought about it, he had actually kept a lot of things in reserve!
“If you perform well, you’ll be well-treated. There’s no such thing as unprovoked love in this world. If you’re a hopeless case, no one will think highly of you. Only by showing excellence will people actively try to win you over.”

Su Yu thought a lot. After he came to his senses, he looked at Chen Hao and said, “Haozi, what do you think?”

“Huh?”

“Going to the Great Xia War Academy or the Dragon Martial War Academy?”

“I… I don’t know!” Chen Hao said blankly, “I’ll take whichever I get into. Both are good, and I’m even worried I won’t get in.”

“About the same. If you go to the Great Xia War Academy, they’ll lower the requirements for the assessment, so you should be fine. But if you go there, you’ll be at the bottom of the pack. If not the weakest, you’ll be a drag.”

“If you go to the Dragon Martial Academy, if you perform well, you’ll be a mid-level student.”

Su Yu said seriously, “But the Great Xia War Academy has more potential because they have a deep foundation, established by the Great Xia King back in the day, and they have many strong people.”

“Of course, the Dragon Martial Academy also has advantages, backed by the Prefect and the Dragon Martial Guard. They’ve developed extremely rapidly in the past ten years.”

Chen Hao looked aggrieved. “Don’t analyze it anymore. Your analysis is giving me a headache, and I don’t know which to choose anymore. A’Yu, which one do you think I should go to?”

“Each has its own good points… You go to the Dragon Martial Academy!”

“Ah? Didn’t you say the Great Xia War Academy is better?”

Su Yu said irritably, “You’re too dumb! The atmosphere at the Dragon Martial Academy is better. It’s run by the military, so it’s fairer and more just! It hasn’t been established for long, the internal factions aren’t obvious, and the resource allocation within the academy is fairer. The Great Xia War Academy has a lot of people. Some families have been inside the academy for generations. If a guy like you goes there with no support and isn’t outstanding, you’ll be giving up to be someone’s underling, and they’ll still think you’re dumb!”

Chen Hao felt even more aggrieved. Was he really that dumb?

“Then I’ll go to the Dragon Martial Academy?”

“Yeah!”

Su Yu said seriously, “I suggest you go to the Dragon Martial Academy. It’s better for you there! If you had a background, talent, and intelligence, then I’d suggest you go to the Great Xia War Academy, where you can go further. But you don’t… so go to the Dragon Martial Academy!”

“The way you put it, it sounds like I’m useless. A’Yu, don’t I have any advantages?”

“Yes!” Su Yu said seriously, “Go downstairs and run an errand for me now, buy some good food and bring it up. That’s an advantage.”

Chen Hao looked despairing. It was too much bullying!

Su Yu laughed and joked, “I’m kidding. You do have advantages. When you go to the Dragon Martial Academy, don’t worry too much. You can be high-profile or low-profile. The only thing you need to do is… be straightforward!”

“Huh?”

“Don’t change, don’t forget your original intentions! People in the military like that.”

Su Yu laughed and said, “My dad likes you a lot, not because you’re handsome, but because you’re dumb. Don’t be too dumb, but make people think you’re dumb. Be honest and simple. When you get there, be obedient and listen to the academy instructors.”

Chen Hao didn’t understand some of what he said, but he understood some of it. Hearing this, he nodded solemnly. “I understand! A’Yu, what about you?”

“I’m going to the Civilization Academy, the Great Xia Civilization Academy!”

“Ah?”

Chen Hao was a little surprised and said strangely, “You said a few days ago that you didn’t want to go…”

“Just saying.” Su Yu said with a light smile, “That… is the center of the Great Xia Civilization Masters! All races gather, and geniuses abound. If I wanted a stable life, a peaceful life, I wouldn’t go there.”

“But I… want to go further!”

Su Yu muttered, “I’m also a genius! Bai Feng said I wasn’t, and the teacher said I was a little short, but in reality, I am a genius! One of the current generation of geniuses! If not, why would the Dragon Martial Academy come to recruit me!”

“They’re afraid I’ll be arrogant, but I won’t be. I know my own strengths and weaknesses. I won’t overestimate myself, and I won’t underestimate myself.”

“Haozi, before a Civilization Master manifests, their physical body is weak, and it’s dangerous to go out alone. At that time, maybe I’ll have to rely on you to take a knife for me. Cultivate hard, and we brothers will have a chance to go to the battlefields of the heavens together!”

“Weak physical body…”

Chen Hao looked at him, then looked at himself.

You’re at the eighth level, and I’m at the fifth!

Yes, you’re weak, not as tall as me, not as strong as me, but one of you can beat ten of me!

You… how are you weak?

Chen Hao looked mournful. I can’t even beat someone taking the Civilization Academy exam. My mentality is about to collapse.

“A’Yu… you said you manifested, will I still be at the Kaiyuan stage?”

Chen Hao wanted to cry. I’m too weak.

“No, you’ll reach the Ten Thousand Stone stage quickly. At most a year. I probably won’t be able to manifest within a year.”

Su Yu smiled and comforted him, then added, “Within a year, I’ll be at most at the eighth or ninth level of Ten Thousand Stone. At most, I’ll be at the Ten Thousand Stone stage. Don’t worry!”

“…”

Forget it, Chen Hao didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Su Yu laughed again, took a deep breath. The Great Xia Prefecture was turbulent, but it had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, he should stand out during the higher-level assessment, showing his talent for the first time, and stepping onto that stage!

He didn’t want to be a passerby!

“Keeping a low profile… I’m also a genius!”

Su Yu muttered to himself, Teacher, don’t worry, I won’t be arrogant. My goals are far away.

The picture book in his mind was still waiting for him to unlock it. How could he unlock it without killing a few gods and demons?
