Chapter 123: Admission
Time flew by and the first of August arrived. It was the day Fang Yuan reported to Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
Fang Yuan had now discovered a wonderful use of the s.p.a.ce. He was stuffed with a large pile of luggage from home. All he needed to do was to throw them into the s.p.a.ce. What he needed to carry with him was only his backpack and some items for training.
This time, he didn’t need to summon the vine lizard to come to the arcane pavilion. As long as he stood in front of the obelisk, the pendant would guide him into Heavenly Secret Pavilion, which surprised the people in the coffee shop.
“Is that young man the one who brought the lizard last time?”
“Yes. Has he been accepted by Heavenly Secret Pavilion?”
“I’ve seen a few recently. Heavenly Secret Pavilion must have expanded its enrollment.”
“I’m going to enter Heavenly Secret Pavilion next year as well.”
“You also want to get in?”
“If they have expanded their enrollment, why can’t I get in?”
“Are you stupid? Heavenly Secret Pavilion only expanded its enrollment from three people a year to nine people a year. What made you think that you can be one of the nine people?”
…
Fang Yuan carefully walked onto the bridge to enter the school. He deliberately bypa.s.sed the stone slab that would activate the iron golem’s switch. The iron golem turned its head and looked at him, it scared him so much that he almost summoned the vine lizard.
However, the iron golem did not attack him. As expected, without a magic core, it would not trigger the attack.
“Fang Yuan, you’re here.” Huang Ying was standing at the school gate. The other students had not come yet. Only Xu Fei was standing next to Ouyang Xinglan.
“Yo, Kid, you’re here.” Ouyang Xinglan greeted Fang Yuan. Although they were not in the same academy, they could be considered getting along well.
Xu Fei was different. He stared at Fang Yuan fiercely. If not for the fact that he could not beat Fang Yuan, he would have challenged him from afar.
In the arcane realm of Heavenly Secret Pavilion, challenges were allowed. Any form of challenge was allowed. Both the parties could decide freely. If the losing party did not hand over the contents of the bet, he would be severely punished.
“Teacher Huang, Teacher Ouyang, Teacher Sima, Teacher Linghu, and… that student, h.e.l.lo, everyone.” Fang Yuan was still a well mannered person. He smiled and greeted everyone. However, he really could not recall Xu Fei’s name, so he used “that student” instead. This had undoubtedly increased the hatred of “that student”.
“Hmph, when my fire dragon levels up, I will definitely burn your vine lizard, that annoying fox, and that gryphon.” Xu Fei thought to himself.
“h.e.l.lo.” Although the Earth group’s and the Xuan group’s teacher had no relationship with Fang Yuan, they also greeted him politely in response to his greeting.
“Fang Yuan, actually, there’s something I’ve wanted to ask you for some time.” Ouyang Xinglan said, “Why is your pendant a three-star pendant?”
“Three-star?” Fang Yuan did not react for a moment, then only did he realize that he might be referring to the certification of a level three arcane realm. “You mean the level-three arcane realm?”
Ouyang nodded and said, “As far as I know, level-three arcane realms are generally not open to ordinary people. Among the students admitted this time, only you and Su Han received the level-three certification, while the other students received level-two. He is a descendant of an aristocratic family and the resources and connections he has are beyond your imagination. How did you do it?”
Fang Yuan did not know how to answer. He had relied on the system to upgrade a level two arcane realm to that of level three. However, he could not say it out loud, so he found an excuse and said, “It was our school princ.i.p.al who helped me through his connections. I don’t know why his connections are so deep.”
He looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously. Although there were many flaws in his answer, he could not think of anything wrong with it.
Fang Yuan was not from an aristocratic family. Heavenly Secret Pavilion had investigated him when they were recruiting students. His father was an archaeologist, and his mother was an ordinary teacher. The Fang Yuan family did not have any ancient bloodlines.
The only difference was that when he awakened his pet beast, he obtained a silver mid-grade pet beast. It could be considered as an gifted talent.
Huang Ying said to the three teachers, “My student is already here. I’ll make a move first.”
Without waiting for their response, Huang Ying said to Fang Yuan, “Can you fly?”
Fang Yuan did not answer Huang Ying in words but directly summoned his Xiao Jin.
“So beautiful.” Huang Ying smiled slightly. He also summoned his pet beast, a blue phoenix, “If you lose the way, you won’t be able to find the dormitory.”
After saying that, Huang Ying’s phoenix flew into the distance at an extremely fast speed. Fang Yuan did not have to give way too much, so he bent down to protect Xiao Jin and followed.
“It’s so flashy,” Ouyang Xing Lan commented. “My gra.s.s flying is the best!”
Huang Ying rode the phoenix while the wind was blowing in the sky, making him feel very comfortable. What he liked the most was the feeling of flying in the sky.
Turning back to look at Fang Yuan, Huang Ying could not help but laugh. He deliberately slowed down because his pet was a star brilliance low-grade Heavenly Sound Phoenix. There was a difference of several magnitudes between him and the steel gryphon.
…
Ten minutes later, they landed on the top of a mountain. This was the dormitory and training area of their Huang group.
“You spent 16 minutes and 55 seconds. You are the worst student in our group,” Huang Ying said to Fang Yuan after he landed.
Fang Yuan did not expect the phoenix to be so fast. He had already tried his best to catch up. As Huang Ying had just said “the worst student,” which also meant…
At this moment, a girl wearing a star hairpin appeared in front of the dormitory building. When she saw Fang Yuan and Huang Ying, she warmly greeted them, “Master Huang Ying, is this the new junior?”
Seeing Huang Ying nod, she reached out her hand to Fang Yuan and smiled, “h.e.l.lo, Junior. I’m Han Xinyu, a soph.o.m.ore. What’s your name?”
“My name is Fang Yuan.”
“There are too few students in Huang group. If you don’t come, I’ll be the only one living on this mountain. Although I have Xiao Yu and Xiao Rou to accompany me, sometimes it’s still too scary.” Xinyu was the kind of person who was friendly with others. She was the type that Fang Yuan admired, for he did not want to live with a pervert like Xu Fei, or a quiet person.
“Are there only two students in Huang group?” Fang Yuan asked curiously.
“No, there are three in the third year and five in the fourth year. Including you and me, there are a total of 10 people in our group. However, they have gone out for an internship to look for star brilliance pet beasts. I am the only one left to learn the basic theoretical knowledge.”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop chatting for now, Xinyu, bring Fang Yuan to the dormitory and let him pick whichever room he likes. Then, bring him to pick up the textbooks and the entrance materials.” Huang Ying interrupted Xinyu’s as it seemed that she still had a lot to say. There was still a lot of time left. Huang Ying hoped that they could focus on the important matters, especially Fang Yuan. He was looking forward to it.
“Yes.” Xinyu stood up straight and saluted. This funny action had relieved Fang Yuan’s nervousness.
Senior sister was also an interesting person.
