News of the National College Entrance Examination top scorer swept through the streets and alleys like a tidal wave. Throughout Great Xia, nearly every household knew one name: Su Chen!
At this moment, even if Su Chen wanted to keep a low profile, it was impossible. Just as he arrived at the gates of Stellar Academy with Qing Yi leading the group, his phone rang with a call from Tang Ya.
"Ha ha, Sister Tang, I’ve missed you these past few days!"
"Hmph! Did you really miss me? Or are you just saying that?"
On the other end of the line, Tang Ya's voice was sweet yet teasing.
Caught off guard by Tang Ya's playful tone, Su Chen hurriedly replied, "Uh, once the Monthly Exam is over, I’ll come back to see you."
"Hmph! Now that you’re the National Top Scholar, I bet there are many girls chasing after you at the academy!"
Hearing this, Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. What a loaded question!
"Well, we need to sign in now. Let’s talk more when I return to Dongji."
Su Chen quickly hung up the phone, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
He had to admit that women were far too sensitive. He could easily punch Shen Hou Zi away and crush Qin Chuan with a single palm, dominating all of Tian Jiao in the country. Yet it was only when facing someone like Tang Ya—a genuinely caring girl—that he felt so flustered.
Shaking his head, Su Chen decided to enter the academy first. After the Monthly Exam concluded, he would return to Dongji to visit Sister Tang.
After hanging up, he immediately received another congratulatory call from Tang Chen.
"Ha ha! You really kept this under wraps! The National Top Scholar coming from Dongji—who would have thought? Long is so happy right now; he asked me to reward you with a hundred Ten-Thousand scholarships!"
"Thank you, Tang President!"
After receiving congratulatory calls from Yan Alliance’s Dongji Guild President Xiao Yan and Guardian Army Commander Liu Yan, Su Chen’s phone finally fell silent.
At this moment, they had entered the Outer Academy Dojo of Stellar Academy. Gazing at the magnificent building before them, the students couldn't help but gasp in awe.
Su Chen turned his gaze towards Shen Hou Zi and Xiao Long Nu, who were standing nearby. After he chose Stellar Academy, these two immediately followed his lead. Especially Shen Hou Zi, whose eyes were filled with a fighting spirit as he looked at Su Chen. It was clear that he was still dissatisfied about Su Chen snatching the title of National Top Scholar and wanted to challenge him.
Su Chen, however, paid no mind to it. Having lived two lives, why would he bother with a mere child?
At that moment, the team leader Qing Yi suddenly stopped and spoke, "Welcome to Stellar Academy, everyone. We are currently assigning you to your classes. Due to the outstanding performance of our students, we have special rewards."
As she spoke, Qing Yi raised her head to look at the crowd. "Shen Hou Zi and Xiao Long Nu, ranked second and third in the nation, will receive a class-level Star Technique reward, allowing them to advance to Outer Court Level Two cultivation and earn a candidate spot for the Immortal Seed."
"Su Chen, the National Top Scholar, will receive the Super Star Technique reward, advancing to Outer Court Level Three cultivation and securing a formal spot for the Immortal Seed!"
Su Chen's Super Ring was a personal gift from Qing Yi and not part of the National Top Scholar reward. Therefore, it felt like he had received double rewards!
The mention of the Immortal Seed caught Su Chen's attention. He had vaguely heard about it before. It seemed that among the Four Great Academies, besides the Outer Court and Inner Academy, there was also a Core Hall.
