Urban Banished Immortal Chapter 954 Snatching Students

Chapter 954: Chapter 954: Snatching Students Chapter 954: Chapter 954: Snatching Students Elder Tree continued, “Moreover, our Hongling Academy requires students to practice cultivation diligently, so there will be dangers in your cultivation process. Have you all thought this through? I’ll give you three minutes. Anyone who wishes to withdraw should do so within these three minutes.”

Nobody would withdraw at this time; everyone had e here eagerly, intending to make a name for themselves. If they were to withdraw now, wouldn’t it be cowardly? They would be ridiculed by others.

Seeing that no one raised objections, Elder Tree cleared his throat. “Students, we now have your names and test scores. Soon, various district heads, mentors, and teachers will e to select from among you. Those not chosen will be assigned randomly after an hour. At that time, you can check your own information on your student ID badge.”

As soon as Elder Tree finished speaking, ten men with the strength of Heavenly Immortals stepped forward; they possessed the strength of levels five and six Heavenly Immortals, which is quite high in the Mundane Department.

These were the district heads of the ten districts. The one leading was District Leader Chen Jian, a Level Six Celestial Immortal, and also the strongest among the ten district heads.

Although the student ID badges claimed that all ten districts had equal resources and strength, Jin Dajun secretly told Mo Huasong that the first district was the foremost, and the tenth district was the least powerful.

Jin Dajun suggested that Mo Huasong should go to the first district to enhance his strength, so that later on, he could be more effective in providing help to him.

Jin Dajun regarded Mo Huasong as his primary enforcer; with him on board, Jin Dajun felt fearless. In the Mundane Department, whoever crossed him would be unlucky.

Thinking this, Jin Dajun immediately raised his head, appearing exceedingly arrogant.

His demeanor seemed to say, “e hit me if you dare; I’m insured.”

Just now, the staff had placed the students’ ID badges into the square’s Monitoring Magical Artifact, so Mo Huasong and the others’ information was all in the minds of Elder Tree and his colleagues.

Initially, Elder Tree had intended to personally teach Mo Batian, but considering that Mo Batian was only learning the basics, he thought it was better to let the Mundane Department handle it.

Once Mo Batian became a student of the Profound Department, he would then consider whether to take him under his tutelage.

After all, with his strength, he felt it was somewhat wasteful to teach a student of such level.

The students Elder Tree currently taught were of the Heavenly Level.

Within Hongling Academy, even students of the Earth Series hardly caught Elder Tree’s attention, let alone those with Golden Core strength.

But Mo Batian was different — he was exceptionally gifted in all three abilities, impressively talented. Even Elder Kuangcao intended to take Mo Batian as his disciple.

If Elder Tree didn’t take Mo Batian as a disciple, what if Mo Batian later felt discontented and decided to leave Hongling Academy?

It was a rule within the Lan Yun System that if a student wanted to leave an academy, they could do so without issue after pensating thrice the cultivation investment the academy made in them.

An institution like Thousand Mountain Academy could certainly afford it. Not just threefold — even tenfold the amount would be no problem for them.

Who wouldn’t want such an excellent prospect?

Elder Tree planned to keep a closer eye on Mo Batian; his increased prowess in the future could also boost Hongling Academy’s reputation.

Based on Elder Tree’s estimations, in ten thousand years’ time, Mo Batian would bee a significant figure.

By then, it would be difficult for Hongling Academy not to be powerful.

This time, Elder Tree intended to have Mo Huasong join the first district of the Mundane Department and learn cultivation techniques from Chen Jian.

By doing so, Mo Huasong would gain a significantly larger space for improvement and would undoubtedly bee more formidable.

After all, Chen Jian was the strongest in the Mundane Department. Having him reinforce Mo Huasong’s foundation would be excellent.

Chen Jian also received early notice from Elder Tree, who mentioned that this Mo Batian was no ordinary individual and instructed him to take Mo Batian under his wing at all costs this time.

Upon learning of the situation, Chen Jian’s face changed.

It was unprecedented in the history of Hongling Academy for someone to be able to damage the three test Magical Treasures.

If Mo Batian wasn’t a genius in Artifact Refining, then he must be a prodigy in cultivation.

Such formidable test Magical Treasures, even I do not possess that ability, how could Mo Batian be so skilled?

Besides, this was a task assigned by Elder Tree, would he dare to ignore it?

Furthermore, Elder Tree had mentioned that Elder Kuangcao from Thousand Mountain Academy wanted to recruit Mo Batian, but Mo Batian did not agree.

This sincerity was not something other people could easily replicate.

With that thought, Chen Jian flew towards Huasong and in an instant, he landed beside Huasong. “Are you Mo Batian?” Chen Jian asked.

“Yes,” Huasong nodded. “Are you District Chief Chen Jian?”

Back in the day, Chen Jian was formidable in the Mundane Department, and later even became the head of the department. However, Chen Jian was arrogant and often looked down on others. Thus, the students of the Mundane Department were all very afraid of him.

At that time, Huasong was one of those scorned by Chen Jian. It was because Huasong, who had e from the Cultivation Realm, did not possess great talent for cultivation.

Latter, after Huasong acquired that great opportunity, he started to bee influential in Hongling Academy.

“You know me?” Chen Jian stared at Huasong with surprise. Why would a new student know him?

Seeing that he had slipped up, Huasong quickly patched up his story. “Yes, while I was queuing up for the test just now, I heard other students talking about District Chief Chen Jian’s formidable reputation.”

“Hahaha, is that so?” Chen Jian’s face bloomed into a smile as he heard Huasong buttering him up.

Huasong nodded and said, “Yes, otherwise how would I know about District Chief Chen Jian?”

Elder Tree, seeing that Mo Batian knew Chen Jian, was even more pleased. With this, it would be fine to have Mo Batian learn under Chen Jian, since they already knew each other.

According to the practices of Hongling Academy, the ten district chiefs would briefly introduce the situation of their districts and then start dividing the students into the ten districts.

Once the district chiefs had recruited the students, they would then let mentors and teachers select students.

Of course, in such a situation, students could also seek out teachers in private.

If a teacher agreed, they would send a sound transmission to signify their acceptance, and then the student would just need to raise the topic.

And if a district chief or mentor took a fancy to a student, they would also send a sound transmission secretly. If the student agreed, they would e forward themselves.

After all, for such matters, it was better to let the students take the blame, as it was all about being new and unacquainted with the ways of the academy.

In such petitive snagging of students, not only did academies vie against each other, but districts, mentors, and teachers also peted fiercely—it was all about rivalry.

If one didn’t pete, they would have no chance to stand out.

When the students trained by the mentors became formidable, they could earn reward credits. And if their students placed in various petitions, they could also earn additional credits.

Therefore, everyone wanted to recruit good students.

Just as Chen Jian finished speaking, District Chief Kong Dian of the second district sent a secret sound transmission to Huasong.
