"Thank you, sis."

Looking at the charitable donation that had arrived in his account, Li Qiang excitedly spoke to the person on the other end of the phone.

Although he was disciplined this time, the money for his grandmother's surgery was covered.

"The money is settled, no need to thank me. By the way, this is the new card. Write down the number; you'll use this number to contact me in the future."

"Okay, sis, just let me know if you need anything."

Jiang He transferred the money to Li Qiang through a donation channel.

Li Qiang launched a fundraising campaign under the pretext of treating his illness, and Jiang He donated through a donation platform. Although a portion of the donation would be taken, it was still considered a legitimate channel.

Jiang He's heart was bleeding after paying one million star coins.

To make sure the million was well spent, Jiang He naturally wouldn't let Li Qiang, the laborer, off the hook.

Li Qiang was a notorious bully at his vocational school.

Jiang He easily found out about Li Qiang's character.

Li Qiang usually beats up people who have offended him; they're good at being used as laborers.

After all, Li Qiang's level is what it is, the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He is basically considered to be among the middle to upper level in terms of combat strength in the vocational school next door. Hiring him as a bodyguard would be a good idea.

Jiang He thought for a moment and then spoke:

"I need a lot of cultivation materials, both junior and senior high school level."

"Cultivation textbooks? Sis, how about the books from our vocational school?"

"want."

"Okay, I'll go look for it."

Jiang He didn't really trust Li Qiang, but she was pressed for time, and having someone to do things for her would give her more time to cultivate.

After leaving the police station, Jiang He returned to school.

College application forms must be filled out before the college entrance examination.

Jiang He returned to school in time for the university and the school's organized presentations.

The normal procedure after the college application class that day was for various universities to come to Beihuai No.1 High School to promote their programs and then fill out the application forms.

Due to the Level A alert, the college entrance examination publicity was postponed by one day the day before yesterday.

As soon as Jiang He got off the SkyTrain, a handsome man in a suit handed her a stack of flyers.

Seeing that it was a handsome guy handing out flyers, Jiang He took a few more glances at it (the handsome guy).

The flyer has a simple layout, but the content is incredibly eye-catching.

"Sexy and handsome men recruit students online at Wanju Academy"

A free stainless steel washbasin for every student enrolled!!!

Don't miss it!

I'll be waiting for you at Wanda!

Jiang He staggered. The promotional image on the flyer showed a thin, muscular man with a reluctant yet somewhat coy expression on his face.

She glanced back at the extremely serious-looking handsome man in a suit, whose face met the one on the flyer.

Jiang He silently put the flyer into her pocket.

There are about a thousand senior students at Beihuai No.1 High School, most of whom are cultivators, and their aptitude has been selected, so the students are all of good quality.

Of course, there are also those like Jiang He, whose spiritual roots are useless, but who got in through family connections.

Many universities come to Beihuai No.1 High School, most of which are universities in China.

All four universities were present at the event. The Wanjue Academy mentioned on the flyer Jiang He received this morning was one of the four universities.

Despite the sensational content of its flyers, not many students from Beihuai No. 1 Middle School can get into prestigious universities.

Shenzhou is located on the Sun Star. There are nine cities in Shenzhou alone. There are also schools on other scattered islands on the Sun Star. Moreover, cultivators from other planets also apply. Therefore, only about fifty students from Beihuai No.1 Middle School are admitted to the four major universities each year.

Out of a thousand people, only about fifty get into top universities, which is roughly a 5% chance.

Besides the four major universities, Beihuai No.1 High School also has other cultivation-related colleges, such as the Sunflower Cultivation Academy and the Divine Continent Forging Technology Academy...

Not all students at Beihuai No.1 Middle School follow the path of cultivating immortality. Cultivating immortality consumes resources, and relying solely on comprehension without money is only for geniuses.

Therefore, many cultivators choose to learn a skill related to immortality cultivation, earning money while cultivating, and perhaps even finding their own unique path.

Jiang He swiped her ID and lay down on the holographic chair.

The next second, Jiang He found herself on a lawn.

The presentation was held in a virtual space.

This world has achieved unprecedented technological advancements, and the metaverse has become a reality.

All you need is a helmet to connect to brainwaves and enter the virtual world.

Jiang He used a virtual nutrient capsule to enter this simulated world.

As soon as Jiang He opened her eyes, she was greeted by a cacophony of lively shouts and calls. The rhetoric these universities used to woo students was no less impressive than that of a village market.

Before Jiang He could even visit a university to learn about its admissions process, a beautiful young woman approached her:

"Hey classmate, get to know our Jingxu. You know Wanqi Zixi, right? Oh yeah, that genius boy who passed the Wuqing Sect exam? He's a major in our Wuqing Dao."

"The Path of Ruthlessness" major?

Jiang He tilted her head.

What a novel major!

Jiang He inherited the Jiang family's superior bone structure. With her excellent bone structure, she exudes an aloof and ethereal beauty when she doesn't speak.

A beautiful woman was surrounded by the admissions office staff of Jingxu Academy.

As if sensing something, Shangguan Linghu from Wanjue Academy suddenly appeared from behind Jiang He:

"Classmate, don't listen to her. Everyone knows that Jingxu Academy has opened a new major, and it's a terrible major."

Shangguan Linghu has a hot figure and a head of red hair that exudes vitality.

The people from Jingxu Academy felt something was amiss when they saw Shangguan Linghu, as this guy had always been straightforward.

"Linghu, go back to your seat."

"What's wrong? Can't I talk about it now? Hey classmate, let me tell you this: listen to your senior's advice!"

Shangguan Linghu paused deliberately:

"Don't test the ruthless path!"

Don't test your ruthlessness!

Don't test your ruthlessness!

"I'll say it three times because it's important: the graduation rate for the Ruthless Path is basically zero. Apart from Wanqi Zixi, I've never seen anyone graduate from the Ruthless Path..."

"You fart!"

"Where did I say anything nonsense? Look at the students majoring in the Path of Ruthlessness, which one of them can't even guard their Dao heart..."

"you……"

Shangguan Linghu took Jiang He's hand in one go:

"How about learning about our Wanjue's top-tier major? Sword cultivation! You can get a spirit sword driving license and hit the road anytime, and you can even fly around and fight – it's a real head start!"

Shangguan Linghu smiled broadly; she always showed great enthusiasm when facing beautiful women.

Jiang He wasn't planning to major in sword cultivation and was about to refuse when the people from Jingxu heard this and immediately followed her, like cats seeing mice.

"Linghu, you still have something to say? Hehe, isn't sword cultivation about the same as the ruthless path? Students majoring in sword cultivation are the poorest among all majors."

Once she started refuting, she wouldn't stop:

"It's no exaggeration to say that sword cultivators are poor, classmate. If your family doesn't have any connections, I suggest you don't apply."

The maintenance of swords is incredibly expensive, and there's hardly any income, unlike alchemy practitioners who can secretly earn extra money. If you're not wealthy, it's best not to choose sword cultivation, or you'll be living on steamed buns after a few years!

The man in the mirror glanced at Shangguan Linghu:

"For example, the person in front of you is a sword cultivator. You can find out for yourself by asking him."

"Classmate, don't listen to her nonsense."

"Shangguan Linghu, don't go too far! It's one thing to interfere with my recruitment, but when are you going to pay me back the hundred spirit stones you owe me?"

"Alright, alright, it's just a hundred spirit stones, don't make it sound like I'm broke."

"Then pay it back now."

Shangguan Linghu looked left and right, then nervously grabbed Jiang He and ran away quickly.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, classmate. The moment I saw you, I knew you were a good candidate for sword practice."

"I?"

Jiang He shrugged: "Forget it, I have five spiritual roots."

"Five spiritual roots!"

Shangguan Linghu was surprised. Although she was shocked by Jiang He's words, she had also studied at Beihuai No. 1 Middle School for a year. No. 1 Middle School was considered a good high school in China. If someone with five spiritual roots could get into Beihuai No. 1 Middle School, there must be something extraordinary about them.

"Oh, let's get to know each other, classmate."

"Senior, don't try to persuade him. The classmate you're trying to recruit is a notorious good-for-nothing at our school, with almost zero talent for cultivation."

"Yes, her grades have always been at the bottom."

As several students passed by Jiang He, a sense of superiority arose within them, and they couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks about her.

Shangguan Linghu frowned:

"It's okay, I just love talking to beautiful women."

Seeing that Shangguan Linghu didn't try to get close to the top students in their grade, but instead chatted enthusiastically with Jiang He, they originally wanted to tell this senior from Wanjue Academy about Jiang He's useless talent.

As a result, the senior student's gaze might fall on them, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Linghu didn't care at all and called them "classmate" enthusiastically.

"Hey classmate, ignore them. What do you think? Our Wanjue Academy's sword cultivation program is really pretty good."

Shangguan Linghu looked at Jiang He expectantly, almost unable to refuse her:

"Senior, I'm sorry, I'm not considering sword cultivation for the time being."

"Why."

Shangguan Linghu was frustrated. Had their Wanjue Academy failed to retain any students after all these years?

"Senior, actually I'm afraid of heights, and I still haven't gotten my Spirit Sword driver's license."

"Ah, cough cough."

Looking at the beauty before her, Shangguan Linghu felt a pang of regret, but she quickly rallied her spirits:

"Cough cough, it's okay. If you're afraid of heights, with all these advanced skyrails these days, we can take a skyrail to fight too. We sword cultivators are so cool."

Shangguan Linghu reluctantly tugged at Jiang He's sleeve.

Faced with this overly enthusiastic senior, Jiang He, considering her future plans, decided to continue refusing:

"I want to apply for the Danxiu major."

"Oh, I see. That's fine then. It seems that Wanjue doesn't have a major in alchemy, but it looks like they'll be opening one next year."

"Hey classmate, you can still consider our Wanjue Academy. We can arrange for you to be admitted through the transfer process! If you get in, we can still be classmates."

"Yes, thank you for your kind words, senior."

As soon as Jiang He left Shangguan Linghu's side, people from the admissions office came up to her everywhere she went, trying to get close to her.

This made Jiang He sigh, realizing that no matter where you are, it's a world that judges by appearance.

Jiang He's classmates were somewhat unhappy about his popularity; his voice was sharp yet perfectly audible to those around him.

"Let me tell you, Jiang He from our class is a cultivator that only appears once in a hundred years in Beihuai."

"A once-in-a-century event?"

Several senior students from the university admissions office were quite curious, as they had all been admitted to university from Beihuai No. 1 High School and rarely returned to Beihuai No. 1 High School. Naturally, they did not know that Beihuai had produced such a rare talent. Could this person be a genius like Pei Ci and Wanqi Zixi?

"It means exactly what it says: not a genius, but a once-in-a-century waste."

Upon hearing this, the noise in the room subsided considerably.

Who is this person talking about? Is Jiang He the outstanding beauty who just walked by?

The admissions staff couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him and Jiang He, he couldn't help but feel a little smug:

"Jiang He has five spiritual roots. Five spiritual roots are just useless spiritual roots. I don't know how someone like that got into our Beihuai No. 1 Middle School. I don't believe Jiang He has no one behind him."

"That's right. She's never been good at cultivation, and the school hasn't expelled her yet, which means Jiang He must have some kind of background."

They deliberately steered the conversation towards the idea that Jiang He had gained admission through improper means.

The admissions officers at various universities were quite surprised to hear this gossip.

What is the concept of the Five Spiritual Roots?

Cultivation of the five spiritual roots is extremely slow. Although some of the universities they attend are not prestigious, those who can get into university are basically talents with three spiritual roots or higher.

Having five spiritual roots is practically the same as being unable to cultivate; just as that person said, one is indeed a waste.

Now, the gazes directed at Jiang He no longer held admiration, but rather pity and sighs.

She looks so beautiful on the surface, but I never expected that she was just a pretty face.

Education, family background, IQ, social standing, talent.

Beauty plus any other quality is a winning combination, but beauty alone might just spark some imagination.

How could such a useless person get into such a good high school? Who knows what methods she used to get in?

Jiang He naturally heard what those people were saying. She didn't run away; she went straight to her classmate.

"Isn't it common knowledge that the Jiang family is rich? I am the daughter of the Jiang family. How could you not know how I got into high school?"

Jiang He smiled faintly, her eyes holding a hint of coldness.

"How would I know? I... I'm not a tapeworm in your stomach..."

The male student stammered, seemingly not expecting Jiang He to come over and question him directly.

"Yeah, how would you know? You're not a tapeworm in my stomach. If you were, that would be one thing, but if you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Shake your brain before you talk to me again."

Jiang He dismissed the matter lightly with just a few words.

Beihuai No.1 Middle School tacitly allows students who lack talent but are wealthy and can afford high tuition fees to enroll, which is basically an unspoken rule in most schools.

Jiang He revealed her identity, and the other classmate who had just been chatting with that person immediately shut up.

The senior students in the admissions office were also speechless.

Why would this person willingly provide a ladder for rich people to flaunt their wealth?

The Jiang family is, after all, a family of high rank, and they have businesses all over Beihuai. Some of their relatives even work for the Jiang family's companies.

Fortunately, they didn't speak up in support.

The person was thoroughly humiliated by Jiang He, and no one bothered Jiang He again after the presentation ended.

With Jiang He's current abilities, she naturally cannot get into the top four universities, but everyone must have dreams.

Otherwise, what's the difference between them and salted fish?

Jiang He did some research and found that the Jingxu Academy had a major in the Ruthless Path.

Of these academies, Jingxu Academy's flagship program is weapon crafting, while Wanjue Academy's flagship program is sword crafting.

The best place to study alchemy is Lingqing Academy.

The application period for college admission is 30 minutes.

Jiang He plans to apply to Lingqing Academy as her first choice.

To be fair, the publicity for Wanjue Academy is quite good. Jiang He still has a slight impression of the handsome guy she saw on the flyer this morning.

Jiang He filled in Lingqing Academy as her first choice, followed by the other four universities. She didn't waste the remaining hundred choices either, filling in all the schools she had seen at the information session.

Once the registration period ended, Jiang He received a message from his computer confirming his successful registration.

However, the more I looked at the volunteer information above, the more something seemed off.

First choice: Sword Cultivation major at Wanjue Academy?

etc.

!!!

Jiang He clicked in and checked several times before confirming that she had given the wrong name.

Perhaps I was distracted and mistakenly registered Lingqing Academy for Wanjue Academy.

Moreover, Wanjue Academy did not offer any alchemy major, so she enrolled in sword cultivation and was assigned to it as Shangguan Linghu had suggested.

Jiang He re-entered the college application system and frantically searched for the edit button on the virtual screen, only to find that there was none at all, not even a back icon.

Jiang He hated her hands terribly at that moment.

Now that the college application process is over, everything is finally settled.

Jiang He sighed softly.

Sending someone with a fear of heights to fly on a sword is practically the same as sending them to their death!
