Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Descent Abyss Begins, Arrive Early!
Countless media reporters.
Completely went crazy!
Damn!
Shenxiao offered an unconditional special recruitment!!
What an extraordinary honor!
Who could have imagined, two days ago, the name Lin Yi hadn’t even entered anyone’s vision.
And two days later, not only did he top the gold rankings.
He even got Shenxiao Academy to break a century-old rule!
Which was to send out a special recruitment invitation!
"Junior Brother Lin Yi indeed has astounding talent, not one to remain in the pond; congrats, junior brother. I’ve completed the master’s task, we’ll meet again!"
Jiang Yun smiled and saluted Lin Yi again.
Then he wielded his flying sword and sped away through the sky.
Indeed, as a cultivator within the Daoist sects, Jiang Yun’s actions were truly carefree.
On the other hand, Han Xicai wasn’t as carefree.
His face first showed a hint of anger.
Then it turned to regret.
Finally, Han Xicai gave Lin Yi a deep look: "Agree to it, this opportunity is extremely rare."
"The last time Shenxiao broke precedent for special recruitment was over a hundred years ago."
"At that time, the one who got the special recruitment qualification became the number one in Xia today."
This is a secret.
Even Li Yuanjing didn’t know it.
Huh?
The strongest in Xia today had once also received a special recruitment quota from Shenxiao Academy??
Doesn’t that mean...
Lin Yi, at this age, is already on par with the legendary Xia of the past??
"When you graduate from Shenxiao, we’ll always have a spot for you at Yundian Guild."
"Let’s go."
Han Xicai had come around.
Since he couldn’t invite Lin Yi to his own university, he would preemptively invite Lin Yi to join Yundian Guild.
After he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and pointed.
In the void, countless light blue ripples spread out, and then a space channel appeared.
Han Xicai and the seven or eight high-level mages behind him floated up, their figures entered the space channel, and disappeared.
Han Xicai and Jiang Yun’s voluntary departure was to let Lin Yi dismiss them.
So Lin Yi’s choice was naturally without question.
He nodded towards Li Yuanjing.
"I am willing to join Shenxiao Academy."
Li Yuanjing was overjoyed and quickly conveyed it to Meng Yuanzhou.
"He agreed? That’s good."
"Alright, no more matters."
Meng Yuanzhou hung up the phone.
Li Yuanjing also loudly told the surrounding people: "Everyone, it’s settled, thank you for coming from so far away, and now please return."
The second-in-command of the Dongjiang Education Bureau issued an eviction order.
In addition, as Lin Yi had already decided to join Shenxiao.
So the other top national institutions, though regretful, also left graciously.
They all walked out of the doors of the Dongjiang Education Bureau.
In the crowd, Lin Yi seemed to see a familiar figure.
It was a man in a smart suit, wearing glasses.
Wearing a Tianshui Academy uniform.
The moment Lin Yi saw Wu Jun, he didn’t dare to look back at Lin Yi.
His past arrogance was now crushed by Lin Yi.
The difference in identity and status was like clouds and mud!
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Lin Yi didn’t continue leveling up by killing monsters, but enjoyed the summer vacation.
Playing non-stop games with his good brother Zhang Shan.
It seemed like being back in the first year of high school, nothing had changed.
Every day was just about sleeping and eating.
Life was calm and peaceful.
But just when Lin Yi planned to complete his entire summer vacation, one day in mid-July.
He received a text message.
His phone vibrated, Lin Yi picked it up to see.
It was a message from Li Yuanjing.
"Xiaoyi, Shenxiao’s admission letter has been sent to me, though it should have been sent to your home because there’s still a month and a half until Shenxiao starts."
"However, Shenxiao Academy’s Vice Principal Mr. Yang, knowing you’ve reached level 60 and obtained the qualification for Descent Abyss level 0 trial, also brought you news."
"Currently, Shenxiao has control over three special Descent Abyss level 0 instances."
"One of them will open in a week."
"And this Descent Abyss level 0 instance is the hardest and has the best rewards among the three."
"So Mr. Yang asked me to inform you to try to report to Shenxiao tomorrow."
"All opportunities to enter Descent Abyss level 0 instances are very rare, and each time it opens, many Shenxiao students compete against each other."
"Although you were recruited specially, you still must go through this process."
"Missing this instance opening, the next one would be roughly half a year from now."
"Consider it, and reply to me as soon as possible."
After reading the message, Lin Yi stood up from in front of his computer desk.
The special Descent Abyss level 0 instance, is it necessary to compete for slots even within the academy?
Oh right...
Lin Yi almost forgot that in the world he’s in, most professionals are as driven as if they’ve been injected with adrenaline, doing whatever it takes to become stronger.
This is a circle where only the kings of competition can survive!
Missing out means waiting for half a year.
If this number was merely three months.
Lin Yi would have waited.
He really didn’t want to waste his summer vacation.
But half a year, he couldn’t bear it.
Stuck at level 60, although he can continue to gain experience, he can’t level up or change professions, it’s too frustrating.
Forget it, after reporting to Shenxiao and securing the slot,
he’ll pass Descent Abyss level 0 and then give himself a proper break.
After making the decision, Lin Yi sent a message to Li Yuanjing.
"Then let’s report tomorrow; half a year is too long."
Lin Yi quickly received a reply from Li Yuanjing: "Okay, I’ll inform them."
More than ten minutes later.
Li Yuanjing sent another message.
"Arrangements are made, tomorrow I can take you to report to Shenxiao."
"Also, there’s a special preference policy for you at Shenxiao Academy."
"Ask your parents if they are willing to move to the Imperial Capital; rest assured, Shenxiao will set them up in accommodation that is definitely better than the one provided by the Imperial Capital Military, and the scholarship distributed monthly will not be less."
Lin Yi almost didn’t think for long.
He made a decision for his parents.
"Yes, please arrange it, Mr. Li."
It’s not that Jiangcheng is bad.
But for safety reasons, considering that the Abyss World could threaten Blue Star at any time.
If dangerous instances appeared near Jiangcheng again.
Lin Yi didn’t want to have lingering worries back home.
If the entire Blue Star were to fall.
Then the Imperial Capital would certainly be the last city to fall.
Lin Yi had no doubts about this.
Having his parents move to the Imperial Capital, with national protection, is the best.
That way they can enjoy their retirement, and he can be completely at ease.
"Okay, tomorrow I will go to Jiangcheng to pick you up, but I will first settle your parents in the Imperial Capital, then you can go with me to Shenxiao to report."
Li Yuanjing sent another message.
Lin Yi pushed open his bedroom door to tell his parents the news.
Although they felt a bit reluctant, in the end, it was Lin Guodong who made the decision: "To prevent Xiaoyi from worrying, we should move, Qingfang, pack up."
