Chapter 208: Recruitment by the Five Great Academies! Generous Treatment Conditions!
Jiang Yuan slowly walked out of the temple, the residual warmth of the flames around his body not yet completely dissipated. Although his clothes were slightly damaged, it did not affect his aura in the slightest.
Calm and composed, he naturally carried an air of confidence that looked down upon the entire world.
He walked step by step onto the red carpet with firm strides. Every step felt as if it were treading on everyone's heartbeat. The square gradually quieted down, leaving only the sound of the breeze blowing and the suppressed breathing of the crowd.
At the end of the red carpet, a temporary coronation stage had been erected. The Vice Speaker of the Federation Council, the key ministers and leaders of various departments, and the senior leadership of the Thirty-Six Provinces had long been waiting here.
On the stage sat a dazzling overall champion trophy. Forged from rare metals of the Federation and inlaid with countless gems across its body, it reflected dazzling rays under the sunlight, symbolizing the highest glory of the Federal Unified Examination.
Amidst the crowd, Zhao Biao could no longer suppress his excitement. Waving his arms, he shouted at the top of his lungs, afraid that Jiang Yuan wouldn't be able to hear him.
"Jiang Yuan! Well done! I knew you would definitely win the championship!"
His face was full of pride, and tears flickered in his eyes. As Jiang Yuan's best friend, he had witnessed Jiang Yuan's dedication and growth all the way.
The excitement at this moment was hard to describe in words.
The surrounding examinees cast sideways glances, but no one laughed at his loss of composure.
After all, Jiang Yuan's strength was enough to make everyone yield in admiration.
Instead, quite a few people felt deeply envious of Zhao Biao.
After all, many people also noticed that Zhao Biao and the few people around him were actually quite average in strength.
Yet in the end, they successfully broke through into the fourth round in the finals.
All of this was thanks to Jiang Yuan.
Meanwhile, many examinees even stronger than Zhao Biao, and even some Legendary-grade geniuses, had fallen in the first three rounds.
By comparison, how they wished they had such a good friend like Jiang Yuan.
Not only could he help them achieve higher rankings in the Unified Examination, but even in the future, Jiang Yuancould help them along their life paths.
To say nothing else.
In the future, the stronger Jiang Yuan's strength and the higher his status, you would only need to say one sentence: "Jiang Yuan is my good brother." Then, you would be met with the adulation and awe of countless people.
Compared to the shouting Zhao Biao...
At this time, Lin Muxue was standing in the front row of the crowd. She had changed into a snow-white dress, her posture gentle, her eyes filled with tenderness and pride. Tears quietly slipped down, yet the corners of her mouth curved up, revealing a relieved smile.
She gazed at that tall and straight figure on the red carpet, her heart full of pride.
She just knew that Jiang Yuan had never been an ordinary person.
His radiance could not be hidden after all.
Lin Muxue did not step forward to disturb him; she simply stood quietly there, her gaze closely following him as if he were her entire world.
The Mythical Grade geniuses eliminated by Jiang Yuanwere also standing in the crowd at this moment, with varied expressions, yet without the slightest resentment.
[Dark Moon Spear God] Zhao Hao gazed at Jiang Yuan's figure, his eyes filled with unwillingness and indignation, yet tinged with a hint of relief, whispering softly, "Lost is lost, and I lost thoroughly. Even if I'm not convinced, I have to be."
"He is worthy of this overall champion. In the future, he will definitely become an even more terrifying existence."
[Star Sword God] Ling Chen wore a solemn expression, nodding gently as he had already recognized Jiang Yuan's strength in his heart.
The remaining few Mythical Grade geniuses also revealed expressions of approval. They might have harbored unwillingness, but more than that, it was reverence for the strong.
When Jiang Yuan stepped onto the coronation stage, the Vice Speaker of the Federation Council personally stepped forward, holding the overall champion trophy in both hands and solemnly handing it before Jiang Yuan. His voice resounded through the entire square, clearly entering the ears of every single person.
"Jiang Yuan, congratulations on winning the overall championship of this Federal Unified Examination finals by virtue of your own strength!"
"This glory is well-deserved!"
"May you not forget your original intention in the future, cultivation diligently without stopping, and contribute your own strength to the future of the Federation!"
Jiang Yuan extended both hands and steadily took the trophy. The trophy felt heavy in his hands, yet it carried unprecedented glory.
"Thank you for the Federation's trust; I will definitely live up to the commission."
He nodded slightly, his expression calm yet carrying a trace of firmness. His voice was not loud, but it resonated with power.
There were no flamboyant vows, no proud showing off, only a steady commitment that moved everyone present.
At this moment, salute cannons roared, shaking the heavens and earth. Federal soldiers raised the weapons in their hands to pay tribute to this legendary overall champion.
In the square, thunderous applause and cheers erupted. The examinees waved their arms and shouted Jiang Yuan's name, their voices rising one after another, lingering for a long time without fading.
Sunlight shone upon Jiang Yuan and upon the overall champion trophy, refracting dazzling light and making his figure appear even taller and straighter.
The coronation ceremony was simple yet grand, carrying the Federation's expectations for Jiang Yuan and everyone's reverence for the strong.
As the ceremony concluded, Jiang Yuan, holding the trophy, stood atop the coronation stage, gazing at the cheering crowd below and at Zhao Biao and Lin Muxue not far away with faces full of pride. The corners of his mouth hooked into a faint smile once again.
The corners of his mouth raised into a soft arc as he nodded gently to the two of them. The tenderness beneath that calmness was worlds apart from the iciness during his battles just moments ago.
Seeing this, Zhao Biao excitedly broke through the crowd's obstruction and quickly ran to the edge of the coronation stage, lifting his head. His voice was still booming yet carried a bit of choked emotion: "Jiang Yuan! You're awesome! From now on, you're my idol, my idol for a lifetime, for countless lifetimes!!"
Jiang Yuan smiled, bent down, reached out to pat Zhao Biao's shoulder, and said in a gentle tone: "Stop messing around, let's work hard together from now on."
This simple sentence concealed the many years of tacit understanding and friendship between the two. There was no condescending pride, only sincere treatment between brothers.
"I knew you could do it."
Lin Muxue also slowly walked forward. Her eye sockets were still red, but she raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes. With a gentle smile on her face, her gaze was fixed intently on Jiang Yuan.
"Thank you for always believing in me unwaveringly!"
Looking at her, the aura around Jiang Yuan instantly softened. He turned slightly, freed up one hand, and gently held Lin Muxue's hand. The warmth of his fingertips transmitted through her clothes.
There was no earth-shattering confession, only long-lasting and steady warmth. The intersection of their gazes was filled with mutual approval and care.
This scene clearly fell into the eyes of the Federation's high-ranking officials. Not only did they not find anything inappropriate about it, but instead they all revealed approving smiles.
"This child is not only formidable in strength, but also values relationships and righteousness so much. Only a person of deep affection and righteousness can accomplish great things. He really is a good seed!"
The Vice Speaker of the Federation Council sighed softly.
A person beside him nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, compared to those arrogant, cold, and aloof geniuses, Jiang Yuan's affectionate disposition is more worthy of cultivation and is better able to shoulder the future of the Federation."
The high-ranking officials chimed in one after another, and the gazes they directed at Jiang Yuan carried a few more portions of gratification and expectations.
What they wanted to cultivation were not just strong individuals with formidable strength, but guardians with warmth and a sense of responsibility.
Meanwhile, the seven Mythical Grade Class Holdergeniuses also ascended the coronation stage, and the Federation's high-ranking officials presented them with trophies and blessings.
Even though they failed to win the overall championship, they still secured rankings in the top ten.
Likewise, they were also the future of the Federation.
Gazing at Jiang Yuan on the coronation stage, the expressions of those few people no longer held their previous unwillingness and dejection; replacing them were poise and firmness, and new fighting spirit burned in everyone's eyes.
"Jiang Yuan, I yield! You are indeed stronger than me, relying on solid, hard strength without the slightest trickery or half a bit of sneak attacks. You richly deserve this overall championship!"
[Demon God Holy War] Chu Kuangsheng stepped forward, his booming voice spreading across the entire square. His tone was full of composure and admiration, and he offered his blessings and respect to the overall champion!
"Kuangsheng is right! I am completely willing to admit defeat. Jiang Yuan, you are my goal from now on. From this day forward, I will cultivation diligently without stopping, and one day, I will challenge you once again and strive to defeat you!"
[Star Sword God] Ling Chen gripped the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly, a competitive light flashing in his eyes as he chimed in loudly.
"Previously I was still unwilling, but now I understand that losing in your hands is not disgraceful! Your strength is worthy of all glory. From now on, I will lay down my pride, concentrate on cultivating and leveling up, and I will definitely catch up to your footsteps!"
[Dark Moon Spear God] Zhao Hao also put away his previous fierceness, his tone firm.
"You broke the shackles of the profession's rank and also made me see my own shortcomings clearly. Jiang Yuan, in the future, I will take you as my benchmark, hone myself, and look forward to the next time I cross swords with you so that I won't be the eliminated party."
[Nine Heavens Holy Master] Yun Xinyang stood in the crowd, her cold eyes filled with firmness as she spoke softly.
[Star Saintess] Xuanyuan Jiuge, Flame Goddess Ning Wangshu, and [Green Wood Divine Master] Chu Jinghong also spoke up one after another, their words filled with approval and fighting spirit.
"I yield, I am utterly convinced. Jiang Yuan, you are a true expert!"
"From now on, taking you as our goal, we will cultivationhard, striving for the day when we can stand side by side with you or even surpass you!"
"Previously we were arrogant and looked down on everyone, refusing to submit to anyone. It was you who made us see the gap. We are more than happy to accept this benign competition!"
The words of the seven Mythical Grade geniuses clearly entered the ears of everyone, also making the Federation's high-ranking officials feel immensely gratified.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"This is the Genius our Federation needs!"
"Before, each of them was arrogant and looked down on everyone, refusing to submit to anyone. In the end, it would have been difficult for them to grow!"
"Now Jiang Yuan has been able to make them completely convinced, and has also stimulated their competitive spirit, giving them a common goal to surpass. This kind of benign competition is precisely what we most hope to see!"
The Federal Army Marshal said with a smile.
After all, the Mythic-grade Profession was already the limit of the path that many Class Holders could reach.
After Awakening a Mythic-grade Profession, many geniuses started far ahead of others, which easily bred a state of arrogance and complacency, thereby spawning lazy and impetuous personalities, and causing them to lose their goals for striving.
Although they ultimately wouldn't fade into mediocrity like ordinary Class Holders, they failed to reach their ideal growth expectations and failed to become powerful PeakClass Holders.
"That's right. As long as they haven't surpassed Jiang Yuanfor a single day, they will keep fighting hard. This fighting spirit will push them to continuously progress, and will also make the Federation's Genius team stronger and stronger!"
"This child Jiang Yuan is not only outstanding in his own strength, but can also drive other geniuses to make progress together. This value far exceeds a single overall champion trophy!"
Vice City Lord of Nanjiang Lin Zhenbang nodded slowly, his tone solemn.
The high-ranking officials nodded one after another, their eyes full of satisfaction.
They knew that Jiang Yuan's appearance not only created a new legend for the Federation, but even stimulated the rebirth and desire to win of numerous Mythical Grade and even Legendary-grade geniuses!
"I'll wait for you. It's just a pity that it's impossible for you to surpass me!"
Jiang Yuan held Lin Muxue's hand, listening to the cheers of his brothers, looking at the fighting spirit of the seven Mythical Grade geniuses, and then glancing at the approving federal higher-ups on the stage. The smile on the corner of his mouth grew softer, yet it also carried a bit more determination.
Jiang Yuan's words were like a sharp arrow, once again piercing the hearts of all the geniuses present, but they were not discouraged by this; instead, it further ignited everyone's desire to surpass and defeat Jiang Yuan!
However, Jiang Yuan completely ignored the inner thoughts of others. He simply raised his hand, lifting the grand champion trophy high, and his resounding voice echoed across the entire square.
"Thank you everyone for your recognition. In the future, I will continue to work hard, and I also look forward to walking side by side with all of you, jointly guarding the Federation, and creating brilliance together!"
In the square, thunderous applause and cheers rang out once again, salutes roared anew, and the sunlight spilled over everyone, warm and dazzling.
This Federal Unified Examination had ultimately drawn to a close.
But the curtain call was never the end, but rather a new beginning.
Jiang Yuan, this grand champion who, with the body of a Second-Turn Elite rank, crushed seven Mythical Gradegeniuses, was like a rising star cutting across the sky of the Federation, illuminating its future.
As soon as it ended, everyone successively exited the dungeon space.
Jiang Yuan also returned to the evaluation square of Nanjiang City.
In less than half a day, the news of Jiang Yuan seizing the grand champion title of the Federal Unified Examinationspread across the entire Federation like a thunderclap!
This made his name known far and wide; there was no one in the entire Federation who did not know of him!
For a time, various forces mobilized one after another, like hungry tigers pouncing on food, dispatching elite personnel to rush to Nanjiang City with only one objective.
To fight over Jiang Yuan, a once-in-a-millennium Genius, and bring him under their command.
Among them, the most representative were the Five Great Academies of the Federation.
These five academies were the cradle for cultivating geniuses in the Federation, respectively located in the five major regions of the Federation.
Located in Central Direct Jurisdiction, the Federal Central Academy had the most profound foundation and the most abundant resources.
As well as Nanjiang Academy located in Nanjiang Province, Magic Sea Academy located in Magic Sea Province, Shenbing Academy located in Tianhuo Divine Province, and North Cang Academy located in Beicang Province.
In order to compete for Jiang Yuan, this time, the Five Great Academies all brought out the highest standard of sincerity, dispatching not ordinary admissions teachers, but the heads of their respective admissions offices!
These people not only held high positions in their academies, wielding great power over admissions and resource allocation, but their personal strength had also impressively reached the Ninth-Turn Emperor Rank, making them powerhouses at the pinnacle of the Federation's pyramid.
You must know that in the past, even when recruiting Mythical Grade geniuses, the heads of admissions did not need to personally step forward.
Yet this time, for Jiang Yuan, the Five Great Academies all broke precedent, which was enough to show how much importance they attached to him.
There was another layer of thought as well: they wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of demeanor and extraordinary traits this civilian Genius, who had suppressed seven Mythical Rank Professionals and crushed countless Legendary-grade geniuses, truly possessed.
Besides the Five Great Academies, the major core departments and super-large factions of the Federation also followed suit.
The three core departments—the Federal Military Department, the Scientific Research Department, and the War God Temple—made their moves first.
Closely following them were the top families and hidden Inheritance factions of various provinces, who all extended olive branches, offering conditions that grew more generous one after another.
For a time, Nanjiang City was bustling with noise and excitement, with envoys from all factions gathering together, forming a vigorous "talent-snatching feast."
Although Jiang Yuan was arranged by the higher-ups of Nanjiang Province to stay in a safe villa at the very first moment,
this was not only to guard against people from other academies and factions, but also to prevent Jiang Yuanfrom suffering assassination by hostile forces.
After all, Jiang Yuan now represented not only the future of the Federation, but even more so, its face and prestige.
If Jiang Yuan were killed by an assassin right after winning the grand champion title, that would be equivalent to heavily slapping the Federation across the face, dealing a huge blow to its prestige.
However, no sooner had Jiang Yuan arrived at the villa than envoys from all sides surrounded it watertight on his heels.
Inside the villa's lobby, it was already packed with people!
The first to speak was the head of the admissions office of Nanjiang Academy.
He was a Ninth-Turn Emperor Rank mage dressed in a cyan Taoist robe with a gentle temperament.
He stepped forward, gazing gently at Jiang Yuan with a tone carrying a bit of familiarity and sincerity.
After all, as Nanjiang Academy, they naturally had a local advantage and could be the first to contact Jiang Yuan.
Along the way, he had even had a brief exchange with Jiang Yuan.
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, congratulations once again on winning the Federal Unified Examination grand championship. I am the head of the admissions office of Nanjiang Academy."
"As your hometown academy, Nanjiang Academy will definitely give you the most generous treatment!"
"We promise you 100 million gold coins annually for free use, without any need for reporting, which can be used at will to purchase resources and cultivation consumables!"
"At the same time, we will dispatch five Ninth-Turn Emperor Rank mage mentors to personally guide you, covering multiple Domains such as the fire element, lightning element, and spiritual element, comprehensively assisting you in enhancing your strength!"
"More importantly, we will custom-design a complete set of exclusive Class Holder systems for you, promoting from Elite rank to Mythical Grade, guaranteeing to provide you with at least one Mythical Grade Class Holder Inheritance, and assisting you throughout the entire process of Class Advancement!"
"In addition, aiming at your current skills like Fireball Spelland Thunder Shield, we will organize top-tier skill researchers to design and establish multiple sets of complete skill trees for you, making your skills form a system and pushing their power to a higher level. Besides that, there are also quotas to enter all dungeon Secret Realms of the academy..."
"Jiang Yuan, stay in Nanjiang, and we will definitely not let you down."
Gong Yan of Nanjiang Academy quickly put forward a series of generous treatment conditions.
But as soon as his voice fell, the head of the admissions office of the Federal Central Academy stepped forward.
Dressed in golden official robes with an imposing aura, he radiated a dense emperor-rank pressure around his body, though he deliberately restrained it a bit as he spoke to Jiang Yuan.
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, I am Li Cang, the head of the admissions office of the Federal Central Academy."
"Although Fellow Daoist Gong Yan's conditions are good, they fall short of my Central Academy by even a fraction."
"What my academy gives you are the top-tier resources of the Federation: 200 million gold coins annually, plus an exclusive leveling dungeon where monster-killing experience is ten times that of other dungeons, which can help you break through rapidly!"
"We will appoint you as a special-class student of the academy, enjoying the privileges of being exempt from all basic courses and having priority qualification to enter Secret Realms!"
"In terms of mentors, we will dispatch multiple Ninth-Turn Emperor Rank mentors, including even myself, to provide you with one-on-one guidance, and we can also invite the Federation's top Class Holder mentor group to clear your doubts and answer your questions!"
"In terms of Class Advancement, we have three Mythical Grade mage Class Holder Inheritance halls, and you can freely choose any one of them. We will mobilize the academy's foundation to clear all obstacles on your path of Class Advancement!"
"In terms of skills, we will integrate all of the Federation's top skill resources to forge a unique composite skill system for you, allowing you not to be limited to the fire element, but also to balance multiple strong skills."
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, the Central Academy is your best choice; this place can give you the broadest stage..."
But as soon as Li Cang's words finished, another person forcibly joined the ranks of recruitment.
This was the head of the admissions office from Magic Sea Academy.
A Ninth-Turn Emperor Rank warrior dressed in black battle armor, exuding a violent aura all over his body, took a big step forward with a booming voice.
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, I am Ding Jiwei, the head of the admissions office of Magic Sea Academy! Our Magic Sea Academy doesn't play games; the conditions are simple and direct: 250 million gold coins annually, equipped with an exclusive upgradeable Mythical Grade set!"
"In terms of cultivation, besides teaching you mage combat experience, I will personally lead your cultivation, teaching you the top-tier close combat techniques and the method of magic system Fusion, allowing your powers like flame and lightning to perfectly combine with close combat, making up for the mage's weakness of high attack and low defense, and being bad at close combat."
"In addition, we will open the exclusive entrance of the Magic Sea Secret Realm for you. You can have priority in harvesting all resources within the Secret Realm, assisting you in rapidly accumulating strength!"
"In terms of Class Advancement, we have an exclusive magic system Mythical Grade profession, which is not only formidable in power, but can also perfectly fit with your existing skills. The success rate of Class Advancement can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent; in this aspect, we are no worse than Nanjiang Academy!"
"Furthermore, if you join, you can serve as a Inheritancedisciple of the academy, enjoy the vast majority of resources for free, have the power to allocate a portion of the academy's resources, have the power to mobilize some of the academy's external military forces, and so on. Upon graduation, you can directly take up an important post in the academy and become an academy mentor..."
Ding Jiwei, the head of the admissions office of Magic Sea Academy, said solemnly.
To tell the truth, this was definitely the highest admissions condition given by Magic Sea Academy in many years.
Even for some Mythical Rank Professionals, the conditions were not this generous.
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, I am Ouyezi, the head of the admissions office of Divine Weapon Academy."
"My academy is number one in life-support professions, number one in forging and medicine refining... Although it might seem inconsistent with your mage-system skills, its assistance to you is not small. After all, we can build an exclusive logistics team for you, providing you with all the equipment you will need in the future, and even developing the most suitable medicines for you!"
"In terms of money, we can give you 500 million gold coins a year, which is higher than other academies. After all, money is the thing Divine Weapon Academy lacks the least. If you feel the money is not enough, just name your price!"
"In addition, we will add an exclusive forging room, equipped with the Federation's top forging materials, and I will personally teach you the art of forging so that you can forge exclusive equipment adapted to your own skills!"
"Don't think this forging room is useless; we can also provide you with a Mythical Grade profession of Dual Cultivation of artifacts and magic, which allows you to both exert the advantages of the mage system and utilize the power of artifact cultivation, multiplying your combat power several times over, and allowing you to even forge your own exclusive Divine Artifacts in the future!"
"Furthermore, you can freely draw upon the academy's equipment vault; all equipment below the Mythical Gradecan be used free of charge, and Mythical Grade equipment can be exchanged with priority!"
"Right, the exclusive Mythical Grade equipment that Old Ding (Ding Jiwei of Magic Sea Academy) mentioned just now giving to you is also produced by Divine Weapon Academy!"
The head of the admissions office of Divine Weapon Academy was an old man dressed in gray work clothes with calloused hands. His appearance looked very ordinary, like an old worker, yet he was the most financially wealthy and bold one.
Chapter 209: Three Core Departments of the Federation
Beside the old man was the general director of the admissions office of North Cang Academy, a Ninth-Turn Emperor Rank ice-attribute Class Holder dressed in white, radiating cold aura around her.
"Little friend Jiang Yuan, I am Xue Yao, general director of the admissions office of North Cang Academy!"
"Although our North Cang Academy is located in the northern frontier, we have the greatest number of dungeons and Secret Realms!"
"I won't bother mentioning some of the basic welfare benefits; you must be getting a bit tired of hearing them anyway. In any case, they are no worse than those of the other four academies!"
"As for our advantage, we can open the northern frontier Forbidden Land for you. Inside are ancient Legacies and rare resources to help you quickly breakthrough to high-end Cultivation Realms, and complete your Class Advancement to a Mythical Grade!"
"Among the Mythical Grade magic-type professions controlled by North Cang Academy, there are quite a few that suit you!"
"Even, if you agree, we can provide you with two Mythic-grade Profession Legacies!"
Xue Yao said to Jiang Yuan with a serious face.
"As for other academies, at most they can only give you a Mythic-grade Profession! Joining North Cang Academywill definitely not make you regret it!"
The conditions of the Five Great Academies were thrown out one after another, each of which was enough to drive ordinary Geniuses crazy.
Facing the conditions offered by the Five Great Academies, Jiang Yuan still remained expressionless.
Although the conditions of these academies were very generous, in reality, their attraction to Jiang Yuan was actually not that great.
In terms of money, Jiang Yuan's account had tens of billions of gold coins lying in it.
As for mentors, Jiang Yuan did not need them very much.
Because he already had a Master.
Although mentors and Masters were different.
But Jiang Yuan would at most maintain a teacher-student relationship with other powerful Class Holders, and absolutely could not become Master and apprentice!
Moreover, the profession System Jiang Yuan needed was different from other Class Holders.
The professions he underwent Class Advancement for were basically centered around the System.
To Jiang Yuan, even some formidable Mythic-grade Professions were not as elevating to Jiang Yuan as the Instant Cast Mage profession.
As for skills, he did not need to build a systematic skill tree like other Class Holders.
He only needed a Tier 1 skill with a special ability or different attributes; he didn't need to develop skills from Tier 1 to Tier 9 on the same skill slot.
After all, with the Infinite Amplification System, even a Fireball Spell skill would eventually be amplified to the strongest fire-attribute Power of Rules!
As for equipment, although useful, it wasn't that big of a deal!
It could be considered dispensable.
Furthermore, given Jiang Yuan's current financial resources and strength, whether it was buying a set of Mythical Grade equipment or farming a set of equipment in the Wilderness Area or dungeons, the difficulty was actually not high.
However, speaking of which, Jiang Yuan was somewhat excited about the Mythic-grade Profession Legacies mentioned by the major academies.
After all, for Elite-grade Professions like the Instant Cast Mage, the channels to obtain Legacies or Class Advancement tokens were relatively numerous.
But Mythic-grade Profession Legacies were basically controlled by these higher academies, super forces, or Families.
Ordinary people simply could not touch them.
"Thank you Seniors for your deep affection, please allow this student to carefully consider it for a moment!"
Jiang Yuan's expression was as calm as water, and his gaze slowly swept across the crowd of Ninth-Turn Emperor Rank bigwigs, revealing a friendly smile.
Although his heart was already set on Nanjiang Academy,
he did not immediately agree to Nanjiang Academy.
After all, it was currently a seller's market, and Jiang Yuannaturally had the qualifications to hold out for a better offer.
To make the various academies or Nanjiang Academy offer higher welfare conditions.
Although Jiang Yuan didn't care particularly about these welfare conditions,
whether others gave them or not, whether they existed or not, and whether he cared or not were entirely different matters!
"Alright, no rush, you can think about it slowly!"
A trace of surprise and appreciation flashed across the beautiful eyes of Xue Yao, the person in charge of North Cang Academy.
She never expected that Jiang Yuan could maintain such an unyielding and humble-yet-confident attitude in front of a crowd of bigwigs.
With their status, if placed outside, they would definitely attract countless people's utmost respect, wishing desperately to curry favor with them!
Therefore, perhaps Jiang Yuan didn't know what their status and position represented, nor their true strength and the power they wielded, which was why he had no awe in his heart.
After all, Jiang Yuan originated from a small city like Shanhai City, and probably hadn't witnessed any big figures.
Or perhaps, even knowing their true identities, Jiang Yuanstill maintained a calm heart.
If it was the former, it could only be said that Jiang Yuan's experience was not broad enough, and he would definitely regret it in the future.
If it was the latter, then this Mental state was indeed very good, possessing the aptitude of someone who could accomplish great things.
At that moment, another Ninth-Turn Emperor Rankgeneral from the Federal Military Department, wearing a military uniform and exuding a sharp aura, stepped forward.
"Little friend Jiang Yuan, I am Wei Feng, the admissions envoy of the Federal Military Department!"
"With your decisive and ruthless performance in the assessment, continuing to stay in school to study is simply wasting your talent. Joining the army is the path you should take most. You must know that the growth speed in the army is much faster than in school, allowing you to become a powerhouse capable of leading a region on your own at an early date!"
"Moreover, what the military department gives you is supreme glory and power!"
"As long as you agree to join the military department, you will be directly granted the rank of major general, commanding an exclusive elite combat team, and enjoying the highest-specification resource allocation rights of the military department!"
"Three hundred million gold coins in personal exclusive funds annually, three billion in exclusive military funds, and equipped with the Federation's top military equipment and Medicinal Pills, ensuring you cultivation without any worries!"
"We will invite the top powerhouses of the military department for you to guide you in practical combat skills, allowing you to grow rapidly on the battlefield!"
"In terms of Class Advancement, the military department has exclusive Mythical Grade professions tailored specifically for battlefield powerhouses, and their power far exceeds ordinary Mythical Grade professions; furthermore, if you join, you can directly participate in federal core missions, obtain massive points, and exchange them for Mythical Grade resources and Legacies..."
Wei Feng's words were sonorous and powerful, full of confidence.
After all, the military department he represented behind him was the Federation's most powerful violent armed institution and combat department.
When it came to combat effectiveness, even if all Five Great Academies were added together, they wouldn't be enough for the military department to fight.
Of course, there was no hostile relationship between the two.
Many generals in the military department came from the Five Great Academies.
Sometimes, the military would send a batch of outstanding non-commissioned officers to advanced studies at the Five Great Academies.
Every year, the Five Great Academies would also send some students to undergo trials in the battlefield.
"The military department?"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
He originally thought that the only ones coming to recruit him were the Five Great Academies.
After all, apart from the Five Great Academies, people from other schools were simply not qualified to stand here, and given the strength Jiang Yuan displayed in the Unified Examination and the ranking he achieved, other schools simply couldn't accommodate a big Buddha like Jiang Yuan.
But he didn't expect that the Federal Military Department would also take a fancy to Jiang Yuan.
Although the conditions they offered were extremely good, and as long as Jiang Yuan agreed, he wouldn't need to start from bottom-tier soldiers at all and would directly become a major general.
And it wasn't just a military rank; it was a major general with real power, commanding an army.
Equivalent to directly transitioning from a student identity to a mid-to-high-level military general.
There was another point: the future of the military department was obviously much brighter than that of the academies.
In the future, Jiang Yuan might have the opportunity to become a grand general, a commander-in-chief, or even the Minister of the Federal Military Department, wielding supreme power and becoming the person with the highest status in the Federation.
"Little friend Jiang Yuan, I am Su Ming, the admissions envoy of the Research Department!"
"The Research Department might not have the glory of the military department or the foundation of the academies, but it can give you the most unique assistance."
"We can equip you with an exclusive scientific research laboratory controlled independently by you, allowing you to freely develop skills and equipment. We will organize a top-tier scientific research team to specifically study your skill characteristics, optimize your skill amplification, and even develop brand-new exclusive skills!"
"In terms of Class Advancement, we can tailor-develop a brand-new profession promotion System based on your Physique and skills, including promotion to a Mythical Grade profession, making you a unique existence!"
"When it comes to Class Holder development, the Research Department definitely has more say than any top academy, and even many profession Legacies in the Five Great Academies originally came from the Research Department!"
"In addition, you can have priority participation in projects such as Secret Realm exploration and profession development of the Research Department, obtain the most cutting-edge Class Holder knowledge and rare resources, and even lead your own skill and profession development direction."
The envoy of the Research Department was a Ninth-Turn Emperor Rank researcher dressed in a white lab coat, wearing glasses, and exuding a scholarly temperament. He pushed up his glasses and said slowly.
Jiang Yuan slowly turned his head, and the surprise in his eyes flashed past.
At this moment, he felt that he had underestimated his value in the Federation!
He could actually attract recruitment from the Research Department.
After all, as a magic-type Class Holder, he hadn't shown any scientific research talent.
It could be said to be completely unrelated to the Research Department.
The military department coming to his door was understandable.
The Research Department coming to his door seemed... also understandable.
After all, the Research Department must be very curious as to why Jiang Yuan, as an Elite-grade Professional, could erupt with such strong combat effectiveness.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help shivering inwardly.
Could this be an excuse to capture him back and slice him up for research?
This Research Department must absolutely not be visited!
Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
"Little friend Jiang Yuan, I am Ling Zhan of the War God Temple."
"The War God Temple is established specifically to counter the Demon God Hall and Evil God Temple. Here, there is the purest combat atmosphere and the top-tier combat resources."
"We will provide all the resources you need, and there will be powerhouses from the War God Temple to personally guide you, teaching you the top-tier killing arts, allowing your combat power to rapidly improve in battle. Your combat experience, trial experiences, and growth speed will definitely surpass those of the military!"
"In terms of Class Advancement, we have the 'War God Guardian' Mythical Grade profession, which possesses extremely strong burst power and defense power, making it the strongest combat power to counter evil spirits!"
"In addition, you can directly join the core combat team of the War God Temple, or build some exclusive combat teams centered around you. You can participate in missions to counter the Demon God Hall and Evil God Temple, accumulate combat experience, and at the same time obtain massive battle merits to exchange for Mythical Grade Legacies and resources."
The person speaking was a middle-aged man wearing a black cloak with a stern face, radiating a dense aura of slaughter around his body, and his tone was very firm.
The three core departments of the Federation!
Actually all gathered here.
Aside from these core departments of the Federation, spokespersons from various super Families and consortium forces also spoke up one after another.
Some offered treatment of one billion gold coins annually, some promised to grant ancient Legacies, and some proposed to provide Jiang Yuan with the most generous protection and resources.
For a moment, envoys from all sides held their own opinions, their tones containing both sincerity and a bit of hidden competitive intent, all wanting to recruit Jiang Yuanunder their command first.
Even for the sake of competing for Jiang Yuan, the originally generous conditions from all sides continued to escalate, vaguely arguing to the point of anger, gradually shifting from a comparison of initial conditions into a verbal clash.
In the end, curses filled the villa, and tempers flared to the skies!
Chapter 210: Officially Joining Nanjiang Academy! Two Mythic-grade Profession Legacies!
Inside the villa, chaos had already broken out.
Ding Jiwei of Magic Sea Academy slammed the table to refute Li Cang of the Central Academy, accusing him of being too arrogant and using his academy's deep heritage to bully others.
Li Cang sneered in response, claiming that Magic Sea Academy's training methods were too crude and would waste Jiang Yuan's magical talent.
Gong Yan tried to mediate, only for Xue Yao of North Cang Academy to shoot back, asking if he was trying to use his local advantage to manipulate things behind the scenes.
Wei Feng of the Military Department went even further, bluntly stating that the training provided by both the academies and the Department of Scientific Research was like "growing flowers in a greenhouse," and that only the Military Department could allow Jiang Yuan to truly grow, drawing side-eyes from everyone.
Although Jiang Yuan maintained a calm expression throughout, his fingertips lightly tapped the tabletop, and a trace of helplessness flickered in his eyes.
He knew that these big shots were all existences at the very top of the Federation's pyramid, normally high and mighty.
Now they were arguing until they were red in the face for his sake. If he didn't step in to stop them, this recruitment war would sooner or later escalate from a shouting match into a clash of Emperor-grade powerhouses.
When that time came, not only would this villa be leveled to the ground, but Nanjiang City would also be affected.
More importantly, he would completely offend one or even multiple factions, which would do more harm than good.
"Seniors, please calm down."
As the person at the center of it all, Jiang Yuan slowly stood up. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strange, penetrating quality that instantly drowned out the clamor inside the villa.
All the big shots subconsciously stopped arguing, their gazes simultaneously converging on him. The anger in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by anticipation and scrutiny.
This once-in-a-millennium Genius was finally going to speak.
"Thank you all for your high regard, but in truth, I have already made my choice!"
Jiang Yuan bowed slightly, his posture respectful but not subservient, his tone sincere.
"First of all, this Junior is sincerely grateful for every Senior's favor. Whether it is the thoughtful invitations from the Five Great Academies, the generous offers from the Military Department, the Department of Scientific Research, and the War God Temple, or the sincerity of the various major factions, this Junior remembers them all in his heart and dares not treat them with the slightest disrespect."
He raised his eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping across everyone present, speaking each word clearly.
"The Central Academy has a deep heritage and can offer this Junior the broadest stage. I have seen Senior Li Cang's sincerity. Magic Sea Academy's terms are direct and generous, and Senior Ding Jiwei is willing to personally guide me; this Junior holds this regard close to his heart. The Divine Weapon Academy is incredibly wealthy, and Senior Ou Yezi is willing to pass on his forging techniques to help me achieve Dual Cultivation of weapons and spells; this Junior will never forget this kindness. North Cang Academy is willing to open its Forbidden Land and grant two Mythical Grade Legacies; this Junior deeply admires Senior Xue Yao's boldness. As the head of my hometown's academy, Senior Gong Yan has looked after me all along; this Junior remembers this local bond even more."
Pausing, Jiang Yuan looked at the envoys of the three core departments, his tone remaining respectful.
"Senior Wei Feng represents the Military Department, promising me the rank of Major General and offering me supreme glory and opportunities for real combat training; this Junior dares not let down this trust. Senior Su Mingrepresents the Department of Scientific Research, willing to custom-develop a profession system for me; this Juniorgreatly admires this foresight. Senior Ling Zhan represents the War God Temple, inviting me to fight against evil spirits and protect the Federation; this Junior sincerely admires this sense of responsibility."
"This Junior comes from a humble background. To receive such high regard from all of you Seniors is already the fortune of three lifetimes."
Jiang Yuan bowed again. "However, on the path of life, choices are inevitable, and this Junior can ultimately only choose one path forward. But please rest assured, Seniors, no matter which path this Junior eventually chooses, I will never forget your sincerity and kindness today. If there is an opportunity in the future, this Junior will certainly do his best to repay you all and contribute to the development of the Federation, never letting down your expectations."
These words were absolutely flawless, expressing gratitude to all parties while tactfully explaining his own difficulties, giving plenty of face to every big shot.
The originally tense atmosphere instantly eased up a lot.
The big shots were all shrewd people. They naturally understood Jiang Yuan's intentions and knew that forced melons aren't sweet.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan's attitude was respectful and sincere, without any arrogance.
Even if they couldn't recruit him to their side, there was no need to make an enemy of him over this.
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, you are being too polite. Since you have already made your decision, we naturally won't force you. However, the gates of the Central Academy will always be open to you. Whenever you change your mind, you can come at any time."
Li Cang nodded slightly, his expression softening considerably.
"What a sensible little guy! Fine, fine, since your mind is made up, I won't force you. But remember, Magic Sea Academy's promise always stands. If you ever feel unhappy elsewhere, just come find me!"
Ding Jiwei also reined in his violent aura and laughed heartily.
The others echoed in agreement. Although they felt regret, they didn't push any further. After all, Jiang Yuan's words had given them a perfect way out, and throwing a tantrum now would only make them lose their dignity as big shots.
Seeing everyone's expressions soften, Jiang Yuan breathed a small sigh of relief. He then raised his head, looked at everyone with a firm gaze, and slowly spoke to reveal his final decision.
"Seniors, thank you for your favor. After careful consideration, this Junior has ultimately decided... to join Nanjiang Academy."
As his voice fell, a brief silence instantly enveloped the villa.
Everyone's eyes focused on Gong Yan. There was envy, there was reluctance, but there was also a bit of understanding.
As Jiang Yuan's hometown academy, Nanjiang Academyalready possessed a local advantage. Furthermore, Nanjiang Academy was a Holy Land for mage Class Holders, so it was only reasonable for Jiang Yuan to choose it.
"Jiang Yuan, you... have you really decided?"
An expression of wild joy instantly broke out on Gong Yan's face. He quickly stepped forward, his tone unable to conceal his excitement.
One had to know that although the terms offered by Nanjiang Academy were extremely generous, the terms offered by the other academies and factions were not bad either.
"Senior Gong Yan, that's correct. Southern Border is my hometown, the place where I grew up. Being able to stay at my hometown's academy and contribute to Southern Border's development is this Junior's wish."
"Furthermore, the terms Senior offered are sincere enough. More importantly, Nanjiang Academy's training direction aligns best with this Junior's Cultivation plans."
Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, his gaze gentle yet firm. "Actually, I had thought about joining Nanjiang Academy a long time ago, it's just..."
Jiang Yuan's gaze wandered around, sweeping over the envoys of the core factions who had not yet left, lingering on Xue Yao for a bit longer.
Finally, his gaze settled firmly on the head of Nanjiang Academy, Gong Yan. His voice paused, and he did not continue.
"Student Jiang Yuan, feel free to make any demands. As long as my Nanjiang Academy can do it, we will definitely satisfy you! There will be absolutely no hesitation!"
Hearing the first half of Jiang Yuan's sentence, Gong Yanwas even more ecstatic, but he didn't let it get to his head.
Especially upon catching the hesitation in Jiang Yuan's words and the fleeting concern in his eyes, he instantly understood. He hurriedly took a step forward, his tone earnest and firm.
He was terrified that Jiang Yuan might change his mind at the last minute; after all, representatives from other factions were still watching like tigers eyeing their prey.
He immediately gritted his teeth and raised the stakes, his tone carrying a touch of resoluteness. "How about this: on behalf of Nanjiang Academy, all the terms I mentioned to you before will be doubled! Funding, Cultivation resources, Secret Realm quotas—everything is doubled!"
"Even the extremely rare Mythic-grade ProfessionInheritance will be increased from the original one to two!"
Once these words were spoken, not only did the other envoys present show surprise, but even Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Gong Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, naturally knowing how high this price was.
Although Nanjiang Academy had the largest number of mage Mythic-grade Profession Legacies among the Five Great Academies.
There were many mage Class Holders within the academy. From high-tier Class Holders to potential Genius students, everyone was eyeing the Inheritance quotas, and the competition was far more intense than in other academies.
Let alone two Mythical Grade Legacies, even a single one would require carving out a quota from among numerous powerful experts.
Moreover, he himself had been waiting for the allocation of a Mythic-grade Profession Inheritance.
More importantly, for Jiang Yuan to advance his class from Elite-grade to Mythical Grade, he would have to go through three stages in between: rare-grade, epic-grade, and Legendary-grade.
With Jiang Yuan's talent, every stage would require the most top-tier and powerful Inheritance quotas, which was definitely not something that could be fully satisfied by just two Mythical Grade Legacies.
But this was already the highest price Nanjiang Academycould offer. Any more, and even a top academy in the Federation would find it difficult to bear.
After all, those high-tier Inheritance quotas involved the interests of countless high-tier Class Holders. A slight misstep could trigger internal turmoil within the academy and public dissatisfaction.
Because Jiang Yuan alone would occupy two Mythic-grade Profession Legacies as well as other top-tier profession Legacies, it meant that the profession Legacies available for allocation to others would be even fewer.
Looking at the resoluteness and difficulty in Gong Yan's eyes, Jiang Yuan spoke slowly, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable firmness.
"This Junior appreciates Senior's sincerity. As for the doubled terms, as the saying goes, 'one cannot refuse a gift from an elder'!"
"I can join Nanjiang Academy, but I have a few conditions. I hope Senior will agree to them."
Jiang Yuan paused, then continued.
"First, my choice of profession must be entirely decided by me. No one, including the academy, may interfere in any way!"
"Whether it is the Third-Rank class I am about to advance to, or the subsequent rare-grade, epic-grade, Legendary-grade, or even Mythic-grade Profession Legacies!"
"If it is not something I find satisfactory or suitable for me, I have the right to refuse. The academy must not force me to undergo Class Advancement, nor can they secretly interfere with my choice of profession."
Jiang Yuan said with a serious expression.
"Of course!"
"After all, the choice of profession concerns your future life, and you indeed possess the ultimate right of decision!"
"The academy can map out the best profession path for you and provide references, but we will never force you to follow the academy's plan!"
Gong Yan pondered for a few seconds and said slowly.
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior!"
"Second, regarding the construction of my skill system, it must also be done according to my personal requirements."
AI Model: gemini-3.5-flash-lite
"The academy can provide skill resources and research support, but it must not force me to learn designated skills, nor interfere with my amplification and cultivation of existing skills. The pace of my skill cultivation shall be controlled by myself."
"Third, regarding Class Holder instructors, I do not need too many theoretical instructors. What I need are practical combat instructors, as well as specialized instructors proficient in skill amplification and Class Advancementdetails. Furthermore, regarding the candidates for instructors, I have the right to choose them independently. The academy only needs to cooperate and arrange them according to my wishes, and must not arbitrarily assign them."
"Especially since I have already taken a Master who has shown me deep gratitude and kindness, I cannot take another Master. I hope the academy can understand this!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan paused, his gaze growing increasingly firm.
Jiang Yuan also knew that the teacher-student relationship within the academy was generally that of an instructor and a student, and the bond was not deep.
But above this, there was a more advanced Master-disciplerelationship because it involved some top-tier Class HolderLegacies.
Therefore, when many instructors involved passing on their own professions, they certainly would not casually pass them on to just any student. Instead, they required the other party to meet their own requirements to establish a deeper connection, and taking a Master was the simplest way.
As the saying goes, a teacher for one day is a father for life!
"Fourth, the academy must not interfere with any of my personal behaviors, including my cultivation time, going out for trials, Secret Realm exploration, and even normal contact with other forces. As long as I do not do anything that harms Nanjiang Academy or the interests of the Federation, the academy must not restrict me, and even less restrict my freedom."
"Fifth, I can retain the identity of a Nanjiang Academydisciple for life and forever remain a person of Nanjiang Academy. In the future, no matter what Cultivation Realm I grow to, as long as Nanjiang Academy encounters danger or needs me to help, I will definitely do my best and never shirk."
"I will rationally use the resources given to me by the academy, and I will not forcibly occupy things I don't use to avoid waste. At the same time, I will also use practical actions to repay the academy's cultivation, nurturing Juniors for Nanjiang Academy and enhancing its strength, doing my part."
Jiang Yuan's words were clear and logical, clearly stating his demand for freedom as well as his responsibility and commitment.
What he wanted was absolute freedom, not to be bound by the outside world, regardless of anyone or any force.
After all, his cultivation relied on the Infinite Amplification System, and many things could not be explained to others. Yet he would never freeload on the academy's resources; he would use his own way to repay Nanjiang Academy's deep affection.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's conditions, the wild joy on Gong Yan's face instantly faded, replaced by obvious hesitation and doubt. He furrowed his brows, unconsciously rubbing his cuffs with his fingertips, and remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Jiang Yuan, these conditions of yours... allow me to deliberate on them."
In Gong Yan's view, Jiang Yuan's conditions could not be considered harsh, but they were certainly not easy either.
If Jiang Yuan only asked for resources, quotas, and similar demands, given the foundation of Nanjiang Academy, even if it were doubled, they could calmly satisfy them. But what Jiang Yuan wanted was absolute freedom of control.
Not to be interfered with in Class Holder choice, and not to be bound in personal behavior.
This meant that Nanjiang Academy could hardly place any restrictions on Jiang Yuan; they could neither control his cultivation progress nor require him to follow the academy's routine cultivation plan.
In case Jiang Yuan made moves unfavorable to the academy in the future, it would be difficult for the academy to intervene.
He weighed things repeatedly in his heart, hesitating and unable to make a decision.
Jiang Yuan was a once-in-a-millennium Genius. Keeping him meant Nanjiang Academy had a promising future.
But agreeing to these conditions meant the academy would lose control over this Genius, and the risk was truly not small.
"Fellow Daoist Gong Yan, it seems you are reluctant to give Little Friend Jiang Yuan enough freedom."
"In that case, why don't Little Friend Jiang Yuan consider our North Cang Academy? North Cang Academy agrees to all your conditions. Aside from the Mythic-grade Profession Inheritance remaining at two copies, the rest can similarly be doubled!"
Just as Gong Yan was hesitating, Xue Yao, the person in charge of North Cang Academy beside him, spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of instigation and solicitation.
"That's right! Gong Yan, if you don't dare to agree, don't delay Little Friend Jiang Yuan! Our Magic Sea Academy can also satisfy all conditions, and we can even equip you with an exclusive combat team to accompany you on trials at any time. We are much more practical than Nanjiang Academy!"
Ding Jiwei of Magic Sea Academy was not to be outdone, slamming the table and laughing loudly.
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, the foundation of the Central Academy is by no means comparable to Nanjiang Academy. We can also agree to your conditions, and we can give you top-tier resource support. As long as you are willing to change your decision, the Central Academywelcomes you at any time."
Li Cang also slowly spoke, his tone carrying a bit of calm confidence.
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, the military department inherently advocates free trials. Your requests are nothing to us. As long as you are willing to join the army, the major general rank will still be valid, all conditions will be fully honored, and no one will dare to interfere with any of your actions."
Wei Feng of the military department also added timely, "As long as you are always a member of the Federation and keep the Federation in your heart, that is enough!"
The envoys from various sides chimed in one after another, tossing out olive branches. Their tones held both mockery towards Gong Yan and eager solicitation towards Jiang Yuan. For a time, the atmosphere inside the villa became tense once again.
Gong Yan's face turned alternating shades of green and white. He knew he could no longer hesitate.
If he rejected Jiang Yuan's conditions at this moment, Jiang Yuan would very likely be snatched away by other forces. By then, Nanjiang Academy would miss out on a Geniuswho could change the academy's destiny, losing more than they gained.
"Little Friend Jiang Yuan, your conditions are of great importance, and I cannot make a decision on my own. Allow me to urgently consult with the academy's upper management for a moment."
He took a deep breath and cupped his fists towards Jiang Yuan.
After finishing, Gong Yan retreated to the side, took out a communication jade talisman, and quickly communicated with the upper management of Nanjiang Academy. He anxiously explained Jiang Yuan's conditions, the solicitation situation of various forces, and the importance of keeping Jiang Yuan.
On the other end of the communication jade talisman, the academy's upper management also fell into intense discussion and finally reached a consensus.
In order to keep Jiang Yuan, this millennium Genius, they were willing to agree to all his conditions; even if they lost a certain amount of control, it was worth a gamble.
"Jiang Yuan, after discussing with the academy's upper management, we have unanimously decided to agree to all your conditions!"
"From now on, you are an official student of Nanjiang Academy, enjoying all the rights you have proposed, and the academy will never interfere with any of your reasonable actions."
"At the same time, the previously promised doubled resources and two Mythical Grade Profession Legacies will also be fully honored!"
A moment later, Gong Yan put away the communication jade talisman, the hesitation on his face completely dissipated, and he looked at Jiang Yuan with a firm gaze.
"Thank you, Senior Gong Yan, and thank you for the trust of Nanjiang Academy. This Junior will definitely not live up to the academy's deep affection."
A faint smile finally appeared on Jiang Yuan's face as he slightly bowed.
At this point, Jiang Yuan officially joined Nanjiang Academy, and this feast of snatching people that sensationalized the Federation finally settled.
Seeing this, the envoys of the other forces present were filled with regret, but they did not pester any further.
Li Cang stepped forward and handed Jiang Yuan a jade talisman: "Little Friend Jiang Yuan, this is the communication jade talisman of the Central Academy. In the future, whenever you change your mind or have any needs, just crush the jade talisman, and I will personally rush over."
Ding Jiwei also tossed a black token to Jiang Yuan, speaking in a bold tone: "Little fellow, this is the trial token of Magic Sea Academy. Holding it, whenever you go to Magic Sea Academy, you can enjoy the highest standard of treatment. If you encounter trouble, you can also rely on the token to mobilize personnel from Magic Sea Academyto help."
Xue Yao, Ou Yezi, Wei Feng, and others also successively took out the communication tokens of their respective forces, handing them to Jiang Yuan with sincere tones.
They all knew that Jiang Yuan's talent was right there. Even if they failed to recruit him under their command today, they must absolutely not offend him.
With Jiang Yuan's growth speed, it would not take many decades for him to breakthrough to the emperor-grade Peak.
He might even surpass them and become the top powerhouse of the Federation.
By then, having one more connection like this would have a hundred benefits and not a single harm.
"Thank you all Seniors for your deep affection."
Jiang Yuan took the tokens one by one and respectfully thanked them, "This Junior will keep it deeply in mind, and if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay all Seniors for today's fulfillment."
Afterwards, the envoys of various forces left one after another, repeatedly instructing Jiang Yuan before leaving that the communication tokens could be used at any time, and they would always welcome Jiang Yuan's arrival.
The villa completely returned to peace, leaving only Jiang Yuan and Gong Yan.
"Jiang Yuan, welcome to Nanjiang Academy."
"I will immediately have people implement all conditions. As for the promised resources, they will be issued to your exclusive account as soon as possible, and you can withdraw and use them at any time!"
"In addition, regarding instructors, the academy has many top practical instructors and specialized instructors, which you can freely choose on the academy's intranet. You can attend public lectures and request instructors to privately impart knowledge! These are all your rights and permissions!"
"Furthermore, this is your exclusive cultivation villa, which has enough living and free space. Of course, you can also redecorate it according to your requirements."
Gong Yan looked at Jiang Yuan, his eyes filled with gratification and expectations.
At the same time, he also handed Jiang Yuan a smart bracelet exclusive to Nanjiang Academy. The smart bracelet was purplish-gold overall, with the characters "Nanjiang" engraved on it, surrounded by multiple elemental runes, faintly emitting a wave of elemental light.
This was not only a high-tech electronic product but also a special treasure.
This represented both Jiang Yuan's identity as a member of Nanjiang Academy and the fact that he could use various high-level permissions and resources.
"Sorry to trouble Senior Gong Yan."
Jiang Yuan nodded, his expression calm.
He knew clearly in his heart that his path of growth only truly entered the right track from this moment on.
With the resource support of Nanjiang Academy as his background and backing, enough free space, and the Infinite Amplification System, he had the confidence to break through the shackles as soon as possible and march towards the goal of the Federation's strongest powerhouse.
Of course, now Jiang Yuan could finally perform the Third-Rank!
