(Thanks to the knowledgeable baby for the reward support) “How much longer until the assessment ends?” Director Yan suddenly asked.
“There are ten minutes left,” the middle-aged man replied, “There are a total of 1299 laser beams.”
Director Yan thoughtfully said, “So far, the number of members who have not been touched by the laser beams has exceeded thirty. Is this year’s batch that impressive?”
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but laugh, “Professor Xiao said the same thing yesterday. This year’s batch is indeed good. Both their spiritual power intensity and physical fitness are commendable, which also shows that the Federation has been optimizing its talent cultivation.”
This time, Director Yan did not argue, but nodded and said, “The quality this year is indeed good.”
As he spoke,
he turned his gaze back to Luo Yizhou.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
The middle-aged man also noticed his gaze and looked towards Luo Yizhou, nodding as he said, “So far, Luo Yizhou has maintained zero errors, and he’s very quick in combating virtual opponents, taking only 15 seconds.”
Director Yan said with a smile, “This kid’s movement technique is pretty good. It seems the Luo family’s foundation isn’t as poor as I imagined.”
Little did Director Yan know,
the movement technique Luo Yizhou used was actually taught by Pei Jinye.
“Eh?
Just then, Director Yan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “This kid…”
The middle-aged man followed Director Yan’s gaze.
Only then did he realize that the person who had shocked Director Yan was Pei Jinye.
Seeing Pei Jinye’s movement technique along with the data panel showing “0 errors,”
the middle-aged man wasn’t surprised.
Pei Jinye’s physical fitness demonstrated during the first stage had already proven his strength.
While his performance in the first five minutes this time wasn’t as dazzling, he still acknowledged Pei Jinye’s capabilities.
Seeing Director Yan’s reaction, he felt somewhat amused.
Initially, Director Yan hadn’t thought highly of Pei Jinye, but now?
“This kid…” Director Yan’s expression flickered between light and dark, “His movement technique is impressive. What’s his background?”
Director Yan suddenly turned his head to look at the middle-aged man.
Before the middle-aged man could respond, he spoke again, “Don’t fob me off with the Investigation Team. Such movement technique definitely isn’t something that can be learned from their Central State division.”
The middle-aged man chuckled dryly, “Actually, I don’t know much about student Pei Jinye either.”
However, he quickly changed the subject.
“I’ve heard, just heard.”
Director Yan, slightly impatient, urged, “Spit it out, don’t keep me hanging.”
The middle-aged man grinned sheepishly: “He seems to be connected to the Old Dragon King.”
There were some things he didn’t say explicitly.
After all, the Old Dragon King had disappeared, and one of his disciples had even defected to the Starfire Army.
Strictly speaking,
this relationship was now quite complicated.
The reason the middle-aged man didn’t confirm it outright was to avoid causing trouble for Pei Jinye.
Director Yan was slightly taken aback, “The Old Dragon King?”
His gaze returned to Pei Jinye, voicing his doubts, “Each of the Old Dragon King’s disciples is incredibly talented. He seems too weak, doesn’t he? His swordsmanship isn’t up to par, only his movement technique passes.”
The middle-aged man chuckled dryly, “That’s true. But it’s also possible that their encounter came at a later stage. Pei Jinye’s personal information shows that he started his training last year, although considering his situation, it’s likely been longer.”
“Only started training last year?” Director Yan was noticeably stunned, then looking towards Pei Jinye thought deeply, “At most he began training a few years ago, but if that’s the case, it would explain his swordsmanship somewhat.”
Thinking of something,
Director Yan looked at the middle-aged man, asking, “The Pei surname? Are there any prominent families with the Pei surname in Central State? The Pei Zhan family?”
“That’s not the case,” the middle-aged man shook his head, “His background is rather ordinary compared to the other newcomers here.”
Director Yan nodded in understanding, “That would make sense then.”
Those from prominent families usually start training from a young age.
Since Pei Jinye is said to be connected with the Old Dragon King, based on his knowledge, it’s likely the Old Dragon King had already imparted some training methods before his disappearance.
This would have allowed Pei Jinye to advance rapidly in his training, but lacking individual “tutoring” means it’s not very specialized.
“If we cultivate this kid well, he could be a very rare talent.”
Director Yan nodded as he spoke.
The middle-aged man agreed with a smile, “Indeed, regardless of whether he’s truly related to the Old Dragon King, if there is such a relationship, and he is a contingency plan left by the Old Dragon King, then certainly it would prove his potential. It’s just due to family factors, he couldn’t undergo complete, systematic training…”
“If that person hadn’t disappeared, maybe things would have been different,” Director Yan also sighed softly but refrained from elaborating on the matter.
As the assessment neared its end, Lin Xiuxian finally arrived.
“Dean Lin,” the middle-aged man greeted him instantly.
“Old Lin,” Director Yan also smiled, “I thought you weren’t going to come.”
Lin Xiuxian did not put on airs, “How are these young folks doing?”
“You’ve really struck gold this time,” Director Yan laughed.
Lin Xiuxian scolded with a laugh, “What gold, that sounds so tacky.”
Director Yan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Pretend, just keep pretending.
The middle-aged man timely added, “Currently, Pei Jinye, Luo Yizhou, Ji Wutian, Murong Xiyue, Meng Jiao, Situ Liyue, and Dong Chengshuang are all performing well, still maintaining zero errors.”
Lin Xiuxian nodded, yet noticing that Pei Jinye’s score wasn’t in the top three, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
The middle-aged man noticed this and leaned closer to whisper, “In the initial five minutes of the battle, Pei Jinye didn’t perform as well as these few, almost completing it at the last moment.”
“This kid, messing around?” Lin Xiuxian couldn’t believe that Pei Jinye’s capabilities were that weak.
However, it was Director Yan who chuckled, “Old Lin, are you that confident in Pei Jinye?”
Lin Xiuxian snorted, “Who’s confident in him? He’s just messing around.”
Having known him for over twenty years, how could Director Yan not understand him? Seeing his stubborn response, he just laughed.
Three minutes later.
The assessment ended.
Luo Yizhou came in first, Murong Xiyue second, and Situ Liyue third.
Regarding this result,
Pei Jinye found nothing inappropriate.
The reward for the third phase was cultivation time in the Cultivation Room, which wasn’t very attractive to him.
Moreover,
his main focus had been on observing the black technology of Star Ring, and it had not been without results.
This was the biggest gain for him.
After receiving the rewards.
Everyone did not disperse.
The middle-aged man said, “All assessment items at the venue have been completed, around 2:50 PM, the academic administration system will publish notifications for class assignments for each of you.”
“Ah?”
Suddenly, everyone in the classroom let out exclamations.
After three days of interaction, everyone had almost developed their feelings for each other.
Suddenly having to split into classes was indeed a bit hard to adapt to.
The middle-aged man seemed accustomed to this reaction, “Don’t worry, after two months there will be a second assessment, and classes will be reorganized then. No matter where you are, you are students of the Research Institute and will be the finest elites of the Federation; this won’t change just because of which class you are in…”
“After class division, the teaching content in each class won’t change, the relevant content will be displayed in your academic administration system, remember to check.
Starting tomorrow, your official classes will begin, I hope you won’t be late, otherwise, you can’t bear the dean’s wrath…
Alright, I’ve said what needed to be said, any questions now?”
Everyone simultaneously looked towards the boy at the back.
The boy was stunned.
He cleared his throat timidly and raised his hand.
“Teacher, which subject do you teach?”
The middle-aged man smiled, “I teach Traceology, this course will start a bit later, you guys should solidify your basics in the meantime and not let yourselves down.”
“Yes!”
The middle-aged man looked towards Lin Xiuxian.
Lin Xiuxian stepped forward, “Then let me briefly say a few words…”
An hour later.
As Lin Xiuxian said “meeting adjourned,” everyone’s sleepiness finally ended and they got up cheering.
Lin Xiuxian tugged at his lips.
“These cheeky kids.”
…
Outside the school, at a restaurant.
A gathering initiated by Ji Wutian, with more than a hundred students together.
One large hall, eight large tables all filled.
As the convener of this meal.
Ji Wutian picked up his cup, stood up, and said loudly, “Let me just say a word.”
People made an uproar.
Ji Yuyan sat next to Pei Jinye, rolling her eyes, “This guy just loves to show off.”
Pei Jinye chuckled softly.
Ji Wutian stood at the center, looking around at everyone, smiling, “Whether or not we’ll be in the same class from now on, we are all brothers and sisters who have strived together, just say the word if you need anything later.”
“Definitely!” Liu Limin was the first to join in the clamor from the side.
“Come on, brothers, let’s raise a toast together!”
Ji Wutian said with a laugh.
Everyone raised their glasses.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was addressing each other as brothers.
Ji Wutian was adept at handling such situations, and with Liu Limin, these two lively characters kept alternating between singing praises, unconsciously bringing more closeness among these hundred plus people.
Though it couldn’t be said that everyone was in total agreement, at least for now, the barriers between them had lessened a lot.
“Pei Jinye.”
Someone suddenly called out from behind.
Pei Jinye and Ji Yuyan turned their heads together.
It was Dong Chengshuang who Pei Jinye had physically eliminated earlier.
Dong Chengshuang held up his cup and chuckled, “Pei Jinye, I was actually not convinced when I was eliminated by you in the first phase, but I’m a reasonable man, I’m only dissatisfied with my own weakness, let’s bury the hatchet with a toast, I will catch up to you later.”
Pei Jinye, seeing his easy-going manner, stood up to clink cups with him and said, “Then you have to catch up fast, I run very fast.”
“Hahaha,” Dong Chengshuang laughed heartily, “then you keep eating, I’m going to have a drink with those two brothers.”
Pei Jinye nodded and sat back down.
Ji Yuyan leaned in and whispered, “Not to stir up trouble, but compared to Dong Chengshuang, Pang Fei seems a bit pretentious.”
“What happened?” Pei Jinye asked.
Ji Yuyan whispered, “He was glancing at you just now.”

Pei Jinye just shook his head, not taking such a petty fellow to heart.
…
“Xing Tian?”
“I’m here.”
“Let’s join hands and take on a big one.”
