I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

To be honest, Wanjue Academy has neither money nor manpower. It consistently ranks near the bottom in the academy competition and is practically out of contention. I feel that even Liuyun Academy, ranked fifth, is stronger than Wanjue Academy.

I don't know how strong Wanjue Academy is, but judging from the application situation of the top scorers from each state, almost all of them are from Lingqing.

Haha, that's true. I heard that one of our freshmen at Lingqing University is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Zhongzhou. He's only eighteen and has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Wow, an eighteen-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator? I'm not seeing things, am I?

Haha, I love how naive you guys are. Wanqi Ziye, you must be royalty, right? That name...

Wanqi is a royal surname, and I feel that someone who has reached the Nascent Soul stage at eighteen is practically royalty.

So what? Being raised on royal resources doesn't necessarily mean you're strong. Our Xiling Academy has a Nascent Soul stage freshman this year, and he's even the top scorer in our Gongzhou's college entrance exam.

Compared to this, it seems only Wan Jue and Jing Xu didn't receive any Nascent Soul stage cultivators this year.

Sunflower seeds: So what if you're at the Nascent Soul stage? Sometimes, even those at that stage can still stumble and fall into a ditch.

Ha, don't think I don't know the person upstairs is Wan Jue. You Wan Jue cultivators, with your Golden Core stage cultivation, think you can fight against us Nascent Soul cultivators with nothing to show for yourselves? You're just dreaming. You Wan Jue are like rats in a stinking ditch. What good is righteousness? You still fall one after another every year.

Sunflower Seed: Who are you talking about? You Lingqing have the nerve to talk about our Wanjue? Every time you Lingqing want to win, you'll stop at nothing. Senior Sister Jiang is still unconscious because of you!

This is a holographic competition, it's already good that she wasn't killed. Who can she blame for her own lack of mental fortitude? Besides, Wan Jue is just bad, I don't even want to say it, it's all over the internet now, right? You Wan Jue has a national champion among this year's freshmen, right? Treating a Foundation Establishment stage trash like a treasure is just unbelievable.

Hua Xi watched the mocking remarks made by Lingqing Academy students against her academy on the screen.

She has always looked down on Jiang He.

Hua Xi knew before military training that she and Jiang He were in the same class.

Jiang He also possessed a chaotic spiritual root, and his sword techniques were not orthodox. When Hua Xi saw that Jiang He had actually taken the time to use the sword control technique to descend the mountain, her impression of Jiang He became extremely negative.

Not to mention Jiang Hexiu's three required majors.

This matter caused quite a stir in the Sword Cultivation Academy, the Magic Cultivation Academy, and the Planting Academy.

Hua Xi hates students who don't focus on studying their major and love to cause trouble, especially those like Jiang He who often skips classes.

Hua Xi gently swayed her golden Roman curls, admitting that she actually disliked Jiang He just as much as Ling Qing's students.

But now, looking at Ling Qing's sense of superiority emanating from within the comments...

She refuted all the slander and denigration of Wanjue Academy in the comments, and when they mentioned Jiang He, Hua Xi showed no mercy:

[Sunflower Seed: Ha, Jiang He is trash, and what are you all, low-class internet addicts? Before you truly understand a person, I advise you to be careful what you say.]

Oh? Then tell me, where is Jiang He not useless? She has seven spiritual roots, right? I remember back then, everyone on your Wanjue forum was discussing how she took three courses. Isn't that a typical case of biting off more than you can chew?

Sunflower Seed: Jiang He is amazing. Do you dare say that anyone in Lingqing takes three professional courses? She can balance her cultivation while studying so many courses. Can you fat people in Lingqing who have been made by spending money do that?

Hua Xi, using the ID "Sunflower Seed," single-handedly took on the role of four people, relentlessly attacking any slanderous remarks against Wanjue Academy.

At first, she felt ashamed of her insincere comments about Jiang He, but later she didn't care anymore.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Jiang He was belittled by Ling Qing's student, and Hua Xi, who was a master of all arts, felt even worse.

She had been keeping an eye on the Trial Tower these past few days. Those who had passed the seventh floor of the Trial Tower were mostly upperclassmen or sophomores.

Currently, including her, there are only about fifteen people who have passed the seventh floor.

Hua Xi has been competitive since childhood. If she wants to do something, she will do it to the best of her ability. She knew the importance of the Trial Tower from the moment she entered school, so apart from class time, Hua Xi spent all her other time in the Trial Tower.

She successfully cleared the seventh floor the previous month.

Each trial tower has twenty floors, with the difficulty increasing from the first to the twentieth floor.

The Trial Tower is a highly realistic holographic tower jointly built by all the academies.

Each floor of the tower can be considered a level.

The Trial Tower covers all types of cultivators, and even includes towers related to demonic cultivators in addition to spiritual cultivators.

Each tower corresponds to a row and column.

For example, the Sword Tower, the Alchemy Tower, the Weapon Forging Tower, the Spell Tower...

The trials are different for each tower.

Anyone who can break through seven levels in any tower will qualify for the Academy Grand Competition.

Hua Xi knew that Jiang He had not only learned swordsmanship but also magic cultivation, but so far, whether it was the Sword Tower, the Magic Tower, or the Planting Tower that she had been spending time in, she had not seen Jiang He's ranking.

Hua Xi was always puzzled. She remembered that Jiang He had already advanced to the Golden Core stage, so how come she hadn't even cleared the first level of the Sword Tower?

Hua Xi disliked Jiang He, but she also admitted that Jiang He's strength was no less than hers. However, now, there was no trace of Jiang He in the Sword Tower or the other towers.

If Jiang He doesn't even go to the Trial Tower, it's equivalent to giving up participating in the Academy Grand Competition.

Each year, the winning college in the inter-college competition and the student who wins the FMVP award receive generous rewards.

-

"You mean that if our academy gets first place, the five people with the highest output will receive something like a high-grade magic staff or a high-grade pill?"

Jiang He suddenly lifted her head from the pile of medicinal herbs.

"Yeah, I thought you knew. It's a generally accepted consensus."

Zhong Liyu reached out and took a cherry tomato that Jiang He had just picked, then popped it into her mouth:

"What kind of fruit is this? It's so sour and intoxicating, and it also has black spiritual plants inside. Eating them together is absolutely amazing."

Cherry tomatoes stuffed with dried plums.

Jiang He walked towards the Trial Tower without looking back.

"Hey... don't go! How about we team up?"

Zhong Liyu watched Jiang He's retreating figure, then stuffed a few more cherry tomatoes into his pocket.

"You know what, this little thing is quite addictive."

Jiang He knew that she could earn points as long as she passed the first level of the trial.

That year, she plunged headfirst into four majors, studying them in complete silence, with no time to understand the points system or its mechanisms.

Jiang He had always thought that the university competition was an honor competition, and that since she was not strong, she would not be of much use in the university competition.

But when Zhong Liyu mentioned the reward, and that it would be a huge sum of money for Jiang He, she immediately perked up.

Jiang He was a little annoyed looking at the several towers in front of her, after all, finals week was coming.
