Chapter 17: No Wonder He’s the Greenbelt God of War! The Special Admissions Exam!!

Xiao Xuan suddenly thought of that point.

“Yes, but only the top ten from the special admissions exam in each year get to go!”

Su Qingwu explained with a smile.

“Then are there any restrictions on this special admissions exam? For example, do I need to register in advance or anything like that?”

The moment Xiao Xuan heard that, his eyes lit up. He could save a few million and meet the very best geniuses in the entire province.

There was no way he could miss such a good opportunity.

And besides, if he rode on one of Nanhai University’s own transport craft, it would definitely be faster.

With the extra time, he could stroll through the crowded parts of the Imperial Capital and collect more Traits.

“No. As long as you are a current-year graduate from Shanhe Province, that is enough. But you still have to pass the registration screening before you can take the exam. Xiao Xuan, are you thinking of giving it a try too?”

Su Qingwu looked at Xiao Xuan curiously.

In her eyes, with Mu Xiying being such a genius, her younger brother should not be weak either.

It was entirely possible that Xiao Xuan was the same kind of super genius as Mu Xiying, one of those late bloomers who built up their strength in silence.

“Since I’m already here, of course I have to give it a try. Once we get to the provincial capital, I’ll have to trouble you to show me the way.”

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly.

It seemed he would be meeting Mu Xiying earlier than expected.

“Of course, no problem!”

The moment Su Qingwu heard that, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly agreed.

“Then if I stay with Xiao Xuan, won’t that mean I’ll get to see Senior Mu? Wonderful, I’ll finally get to meet Senior Mu in person! No, I have to leave a good impression on her. I must stay calm. Stay calm!”

Su Qingwu took a deep breath, inwardly overwhelmed with excitement.

So Su Qingwu really was one of Sister Ying’s little admirers. But with Mu Xiying’s looks and strength, it would be harder not to have admirers.

Otherwise, how could she have the destiny of a true heroine?

Xiao Xuan silently mused to himself as he looked at Su Qingwu.

Very soon, the transport craft rose rapidly into the air and sped toward Nanhai City at great speed.

…………

…………

Several hours later, Xiao Xuan and Su Qingwu walked out of Nanhai City’s enormous airport.

Thousands of massive transport craft were parked across the airfield.

All around them stood towering, futuristic buildings that pierced the sky, along with flying cars weaving back and forth overhead.

The two hailed a self-driving aircar.

Very soon, a bullet-shaped aircar slowly descended from the sky.

The moment Xiao Xuan got in, he found it rather novel. Not only was it fast, but even after accelerating to several hundred kilometers per hour, he felt absolutely nothing.

…………

Before long, the two of them arrived in front of an enormous school gate!

Behind the gate stood huge buildings and greenery so abundant that it resembled a secluded paradise.

In this world’s cities, greenery was a luxury.

Because the human population was simply too large, cities could only increase population density as much as possible while still maintaining safety. They could not expand too far outward.

Otherwise, once danger arrived, reinforcements would take far too long to get there.

That was why only the finest residential districts in a city would have even a small garden.

Yet here at Nanhai University, the place looked almost like one of the suburban universities from Xiao Xuan’s previous life, with greenery everywhere.

So this was the true prestige of one of humanity’s future training centers.

After the two of them went inside, they happened to see a balding, burly man sitting drowsily at a makeshift desk, nodding off with a yawn.

In front of him stood a sign.

【Special Admissions Registration Point】

“What? It’s this casual?”

Su Qingwu was stunned.

She had thought the registration for the special admissions exam would be something extremely strict and serious.

“Hello, Teacher. We’re here to register for the special admissions exam!”

Xiao Xuan walked over and spoke to the burly man.

“Teacher? I’m only a freshman, all right!? Watch how you talk, brat!”

The moment the man opened his eyes, he glared and let out a cold snort.

And when he saw how handsome Xiao Xuan was, his expression darkened even further.

“You’re only a freshman?”

At that moment, Su Qingwu was stunned. She looked at the balding brute, who would still seem young even if someone said he was forty, and stared in disbelief with her mouth slightly open.

But the moment the brute saw Su Qingwu, his expression changed completely, turning from fury into a flattering grin.

“Junior Sister, are you here to register? Just scan your identity code and that’ll do! Oh, right, my name is Gu Zichen! From now on, you can call me Senior Gu!”

Gu Zichen revealed what he clearly believed to be a handsome smile and even ran a hand through the few strands of hair he had left.

For a moment, Su Qingwu stood there blankly.

Gu Zichen. That name sounded like the kind of name a young master from some great family in a novel would have. It simply did not match the balding brute in front of her at all.

“Wasn’t there supposed to be a registration screening?”

Xiao Xuan asked from the side, puzzled.

“One look at this Junior Sister and I can tell she has ability! Why would she need a screening?

As for you...Get over here! If you can take one punch from me, you can register!”

Gu Zichen let out a cold snort at once.

As he spoke, he rubbed his fists.

“What is this, some kind of slapdash operation?”

Xiao Xuan was speechless.

But he quickly understood.

Gu Zichen’s strength was probably near the bottom even within the university.

After all, he was only at the Vitality Realm, Third Layer.

Of course, compared with the old Xiao Xuan, he was indeed a genius.

But for a freshman at the university, that level of strength was not especially impressive.

And it was impossible for Gu Zichen to make things too difficult for the applicants.

As for letting people off easy, it was not as though passing his registration check meant one had already been admitted. The real special admissions exam would be extremely strict. His role here was only to handle registration.

And if someone could not even pass the bit of trouble Gu Zichen gave them, then they were no real genius anyway. They could only blame their bad luck.

On the contrary, if two powerful upperclassman geniuses were placed here to serve as the screening examiners, that might actually cause problems.

If one of them happened to dislike a student and played a small trick, even a top genius would have to go all out.

Not to mention ordinary geniuses or ordinary students.

“It is only one punch. That should not be difficult.”

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, then crooked a finger at him.

“You pretty-faced brat, take my punch!”

Gu Zichen was so irritated by Xiao Xuan’s arrogant manner that he laughed in anger and immediately threw a fierce punch straight at him.

As expected, although the momentum of that punch looked impressive,

he had still held back some of his strength.

“SMACK!!”

Xiao Xuan casually blocked the punch with a single finger.

“Just as expected of Senior Mu’s younger brother. His strength is formidable too!”

The sight instantly made Su Qingwu’s eyes light up.
