Chapter 779: [(590)] Welcome to the world of proud spirits! (Thanks to Ling Xian for the reward and support)_1 Chapter 779: [(590)] Welcome to the world of proud spirits! (Thanks to Ling Xian for the reward and support)_1 Dragon City, ever since the establishment of the Federation, has always been the definitive commercial hub of the Eastern Continent.
It is a city that embraces all rivers, and a sacred place many yearn for!
Even though Pei Jinye had visited the Eastern Continent before, he had never truly experienced the prosperity here like he did now.
“So many strong warriors!” Luo Yizhou’s expression shook, his gaze towards the powerful Vitalities around him solemn and unshielded.
It was also when Ai Weitian led the three of them out of the airport that many people turned their looks towards them.
When they noticed the badge on Ai Weitian’s clothes, the pupils of many in the crowd constricted.
Dragon City martial arts university?
They then turned their gaze towards the three young faces of Pei Jinye’s group.
Luo Yizhou’s skill in masking his presence was only slightly above Xu Wanxiao’s, so many recognized Xu Wanxiao as having Extraordinary Third Rank Vitality.
“Let’s go.”
Ai Weitian was no stranger to this kind of attention, having picked up students more than once or twice before, and treated these looks as nothing out of the ordinary.
“The school’s car is already here.”
“Are we the fastest group?” Xu Wanxiao suddenly asked.
Ai Weitian glanced at her, shook his head and said, “No, but we’re not too late either. Once we’re at school, someone from the student council will take you around, rest well in the afternoon, and there will be a gathering for the new students of your mentorship academy at five. If you have any specific questions, you can ask those from the student council.”
“The student council?” Xu Wanxiao probed, “What’s their relation to us?”
Seeing her ignorance, Ai Weitian said, “You haven’t logged into the school forum yet, have you?”
Xu Wanxiao was startled, “There’s such a thing?”
She instinctively looked towards Luo Yizhou.
Luo Yizhou kept his gaze calm, paying her no mind.
Ai Weitian didn’t say anything more, simply indicating, “It’s fine, you’ll have to log in anyway. That forum contains some school rules, including an introduction to various organizations within the school. I won’t go into details, but I will specifically talk about this student council.”
He looked at the three of Pei Jinye and continued, “The student council can be called the most powerful student organization in our school. Once you’re in the mentorship academy, you can apply to join the student council. The student council enjoys some additional resource allocation, but from what I know they have very strict selection processes. If you wish to get in, you’ll need to work even harder.”
Xu Wanxiao bit her lower lip.
She had always been pampered, often getting what she wanted ahead of others.
But now, a teacher from Dragon City martial arts university was telling her that she would need to work even harder to enter the student council.
In other words, wasn’t he implying that she didn’t qualify for the student council at all?
“Is the student council that formidable?”
Apparently catching the note of dissatisfaction in her voice, Ai Weitian smiled faintly, “The president of the student council has always been the strongest student from Dragon City martial arts university. The current president, Fang Tianping, has already been elected for four consecutive terms.”
“How strong is he?” Xu Wanxiao asked, biting her lip defiantly.
“He was promoted to Extraordinary Seventh Rank at the beginning of the year,” Ai Weitian said calmly.
“!!!”
Xu Wanxiao’s retort got stuck in her throat on the spot.
It was as if she had been struck dumb; opening her mouth, she suddenly asked, “Then if we compete with him, we definitely won’t be able to snatch anything away, right?”
“Senior Fang is already in his second year of postgraduate study, and he graduated from the mentorship academy two years ago, so you don’t have to worry about competing with him for resources,” Luo Yizhou said indifferently.
Xu Wanxiao’s tone was caught off-guard.
She looked at him, somewhat surprised.
“You know?”
Luo Yizhou didn’t respond to her.
Xu Wanxiao felt irritated all of a sudden.
However, due to Ai Weitian’s presence, she didn’t lose her temper, but she let out a cold snort through her nose.
Ai Weitian agreed with Luo Yizhou’s statement and continued while walking, “True, Fang Tianping will not be involved in your resource contest, but Meng Jiao will be. As a member of the student council, once she successfully breaks through to Extraordinary Sixth Rank, she will participate in the selection for vice president of the student council and join the election for president in a year.”
At that moment, an inexplicably heavy feeling hit Xu Wanxiao; whether it was the current president of Dragon City’s martial arts university’s student council, Fang Tianping, or Meng Jiao, Lin Shenying, and Ji Wutian–these three who were Extraordinary Fifth Rank–they all seemed to suffocate her.
Pushing the door open, Ai Weitian gestured, “Right, once you get to school, you will be registered for a temporary Dragon City residence permit. Simultaneously, you’ll also pick up your academy wristbands. Have you all brought your identity information cards? They were sent together with your admission notice.”
“We’ve brought them.”
The three of Pei Jinye nodded.
Clearly.
Both he and Luo Yizhou already knew how to use the identity information card and had some understanding of the school forum.
Only Xu Wanxiao, this naive big sister, knew nothing about it.
“If you’ve brought it then it’s good,” Ai Weitian nodded and continued, “Once you get the wristband, you can place your identity information card inside, and then the school forum will be accessible to you. You can search for anything there, but it’s up to you to discern the truth of some contents. The school has no obligation to identify authenticity for you. The philosophy of Dragon City’s martial arts university is always to cultivate real powerhouses, not armchair strategists; I’m giving you a heads up on this beforehand.”
“Thank you, Teacher Ai,” Pei Jinye was the first to speak up.
Luo Yizhou followed suit immediately.
Xu Wanxiao hesitated but managed to thank him grudgingly.
Ai Weitian waved his hand, “Anyway, do your best.”
When they reached the airport entrance, they could see a big bus from afar. Ai Weitian waved to signal, “Let’s go, the bus has arrived.”
The three from Pei Jinye’s group followed.
…
The front of the bus bore the words “Dragon City Martial Arts University.” Passersby would occasionally lift their heads to take a glance, envy apparent in their looks.
At the door of the bus, two young men were chatting idly.
Suddenly, the youth with a pair of sunglasses dangling from his collar saw something, nudged his companion, and then the two of them waved towards Ai Weitian, “Teacher Ai.”
The companion also hurriedly greeted, “Teacher Ai.”
“Turns out it’s you, Yu Aohai, and you came too, Wan Gangsheng.” Ai Weitian stepped forward and said to Pei Jinye and his two companions, “These are your seniors, both from the student council.”
“Hello, senior.”
Pei Jinye and his two companions greeted them respectfully.
What the outsiders didn’t know was,
When Yu Aohai and Wan Gangsheng appeared in front of them, Pei Jinye had already taken in all the specifics of their transcendent abilities.
Yu Aohai’s transcendence was indicated as Instrument * Sword, and Wan Gangsheng’s transcendence appeared as Spirit * Fire Giant.
One had a spiritual power of five thousand, the other seven thousand.
Clearly, both fell within the range of Extraordinary Fifth Rank.
But Wan Gangsheng looked frailer compared to Yu Aohai; unexpectedly, his spiritual power was nearly touching the baseline of the Extraordinary Sixth Rank.
Seeing Pei Jinye and Luo Yizhou, Yu Aohai nodded and greeted them with a smile until his gaze fell on Xu Wanxiao. His eyes lit up instantly, and his tone softened, “Hello there, you must be tired, little sister. Give me your luggage, I’ll help you carry it.”
While he said that, he naturally only took Xu Wanxiao’s luggage.
“Thank you, senior,” Xu Wanxiao sweetly said.
The demure look made Luo Yizhou involuntarily glance over.
Was this the same arrogant lady who had been so unbearable during the trip?
Pei Jinye watched the interesting scene, perfectly playing the role of a low-profile spectator.
“No need to be polite, we’re all family here. I’m Yu Aohai. How should I address the junior sister?” said Yu Aohai, not in a hurry to leave as he stayed by Xu Wanxiao’s side and asked with a smile.
“Senior, my name is Xu Wanxiao.” Xu Wanxiao sweetly repeated.
Yu Aohai wanted to say something more, but Ai Weitian kicked his buttock, “Hurry up, enough with the chat, you’ll have plenty of time to flirt later.”
Yu Aohai didn’t get angry but smirked playfully before pushing the suitcase away.
Wan Gangsheng looked at him with a speechless expression and then turned to Pei Jinye and Luo Yizhou.
However, to his surprise, the two only carried a single backpack each, not bringing much with them.
“You guys…”
“No need, senior,” Pei Jinye interjected with a nod and a smile.
Wan Gangsheng scratched his head, speaking straightforwardly, “Let’s get on the bus. It’s a bit hot today; the AC is on.”
Ai Weitian glanced at the bus, “So, are there others coming today?”
Yu Aohai, who had just put Xu Wanxiao’s luggage into the bus, looked up and said, “The school notified that the people from the Western Continent were on this morning’s flight. I reckon they’ll arrive in ten minutes or so. You can rest for a while, Teacher Ai.”
Upon hearing this, Ai Weitian paused, “Aren’t the ones from the Western Continent already here?”
“There are two who didn’t come before, said they were on a mission, which just ended today,” explained Wan Gangsheng.
“Oh? What’s their story?” Ai Weitian was intrigued.
Wan Gangsheng hesitated, glancing at Pei Jinye’s trio.
Ai Weitian instinctively wanted to kick him.
But ultimately, he did not.
This Wan Gangsheng was universally acknowledged as a good kid, not like Yu Aohai who was a greasy guy with thick skin.
So he said, “It’s fine to say, they aren’t strangers either.”
He then gestured towards Pei Jinye, “This junior of yours has an official status too, and not a minor one at that, administratively on par with a district chief over here, right?”
He looked inquiringly at Pei Jinye.
Yu Aohai and Wan Gangsheng turned their gaze towards Pei Jinye immediately.
The latter was clearly astonished.
Yu Aohai was the first to take a step forward and extended his hand, “I was wondering why the magpie was chirping this morning. Turns out it’s because junior was coming, my apologies for being negligent.”
Pei Jinye shook hands with him, but chuckled, “I don’t have any grudges with senior, right? There’s no need to blacken my name like that. It’s just an honorary position I hold; it’s nothing much. If the seniors are interested, forget the governor, you can pick whichever role you want in the Military Department.”
Yu Aohai laughed heartily, “This junior is good at conversing. May I have your name?”
“Pei Jinye.”
“Pei Jinye…” Yu Aohai nodded seriously, “I’ll remember that. If there’s anything, come find your Brother Hai. Hai is the unbeaten champion across Thirteen Academies.”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Ai Weitian kicked at him, unimpressed, but Yu Aohai dodged it.
After receiving a cue from Ai Weitian, Wan Gangsheng said, “Those two are members of the Knight Order’s Reserve Duty. I only found out about it today; the information has been kept confidential until now.”

“People from the Knight Order?” Ai Weitian mused. “Don’t they usually look down on academies? Why have they suddenly come to our school?”
“Uncle Ai, do you think the Knight Order is intentionally scheming something?” Yu Aohai whispered, moving closer.
Ai Weitian shook his head, “Who knows? But the school leaders definitely know about this, and since they gave their consent, it must be fine.”
After he spoke, he suddenly froze.
“Who are you calling uncle? I’m not married yet!!! You little rascal, are you asking for a kick!!!”
