Tian Du City.
The First Academy was very lively.
The students in the audience who were watching the fun were speechless, particularly when they heard that twenty people shouting in unison that they wanted to join the Sword Card Master Association……
It was true.
If they were the other associations, they would feel very humiliated. How could they tolerate that?
“Lu Ming, come here and meet your death!”
A disciple from an association called out.
“Lu Ming, come here and meet your death!”
A disciple from another association called out.
“Lu Ming, come here and meet your death!”
A disciple from a third association called out……
Shush!
Shush!
Many people demanded that Lu Ming come out to meet his death.
Lu Ming was speechless.
He was in the midst of underlining the words ‘strongest in the cohort’ on the slogan. He was somewhat speechless as he looked toward the associations that had challenged them. He merely fancied one fairly talented student……
“Well……”
Lu Ming sighed. “That student…… yes, you, the bald one!”
Shush!
All the students turned around.
Over there.
A burly man with a shiny bald head said with sadness in his eyes. “I shaved my hair…… I do not suffer from hair loss……”
“I want you!”
Lu Ming clapped his hands.
He had made a point of looking through the information about this student.
Well, he was very talented!
Ye Liangfei and the rest helped to pick him out. These three disciples helped to analyze which student was talented and had a good personality.
In particular, Liu Hai!
He made comprehensive analysis of the students’ personalities.
“You’re a good judge of character,” Lu Ming praised him.
Liu Hai was very calm. “President, while people spent time cultivating, I spent the same amount of time observing.”
“Isn’t that simply peeping?”
Ye Liangfei pursed his lips.
Shush!
Liu Hai shot cold glances at him. “Are you certain you want to provoke me?”
Ye Liangfei thought about it and was silent.
Forget it.
He should not take issue with him.
As a student, he had heard Liu Hai’s story. Once, when someone provoked him, he spent the whole month observing him.
While the person was having meals, he watched him.
While the person was bathing, he watched him.
While the person was using the washroom, he watched him.
Anyway, he watched him all the time.
It was to the extent that occasionally he would reveal his aura, so that the person knew that someone was watching him. However, the peeper could not be found. The aura could only be felt at times, making him feel all the more frustrated.
He even said that……
“Remember.
“Brother, I will be watching you for the rest of your life, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health……”
Then the guy went crazy.
It was true.
Although Liu Hai no longer watched him, it had taken a toll on him mentally.
And now……
If Liu Hai learned the Art of Concealment from Li Ergou……
Ss—
It was better not to provoke him.
Ye Liangfei was scared of him……
Anyway.
With the help of his three disciples, Lu Ming was more accurate in choosing people. He managed to choose the bald burly man after reading through the school’s information about him.
“I would like to join the Sword Card Master Association.”
The bald burly man was glad.
Other students around him were envious of him.
However……
The other associations could not take it anymore.
“Classmate, which association did you originally intend to join?” A disciple from one association asked.
The disciples from other associations asked the same question.
That was right.
This is too much!
What was his original goal?
Has he forgotten about it?!
Shouldn’t he consider whether the Sword Card Master Association has the abilities that he needs?
Is it suitable for him?
How high is the vocation conversion rate?
Isn’t he worried that if he converts his vocation by force, his energy will go to waste?
Did he consider all these factors?!
How can he forsake the original association that he had in mind and agree as soon as the Sword Card Master Association asks him to join them! Doesn’t he know that if one fawns after others shamelessly, one will not have a good outcome!?
To think that he fawned on the Sword Card Master Association……
This was too much!
“Uh—”
The bald man looked toward Lu Ming anxiously.
“Tell us.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
In fact, one could guess his original choice from his body frame.
“My original choice was the Energy Warriors Association,” the bald burly man said truthfully.
Shush!
Everyone looked toward a certain association at the display booth.
They kept a low profile, however, they were still very domineering. Many people crowded around their booth. This was the Energy Warriors Association! It was the largest and nominally the first Association!
There was no other organization that could be compared to it!
In terms of overall strength, no association could surpass them!
They overwhelmed other associations in terms of number.
“Oh?”
A representative of the Energy Warriors Association came out. He had a strong build and his bones were as hard as iron. He seemed to have good fighting capabilities.
Bang!
Bang!
He walked out, sending tremors through the ground.
This was an Energy Warrior cultivator in the true sense. He exuded sheer strength and power!
He was a peak six-star!
He was very powerful!
“Do you want to fight?”
He looked at Lu Ming lazily.
“It is unnecessary.”
Lu Ming sighed.
People from the Energy Warriors Association were indeed bad-tempered……
Although Sword Card Masters could cultivate their bodies as well, no matter what, they could not be compared with the bad-tempered people from the Energy Warriors Association who tempered iron everyday.
How could he fight against him?!
Besides……
He had no wish to fight against a burly man!
It was too embarrassing!
Hence……
He smiled and looked toward the bald disciple. “Tell us, why did you give up on the Energy Warriors Association?”
Shush!
This garnered everyone’s attention.
The peak six-star Energy Warrior narrowed his eyes.
This question…… was the crux of everything!
Was that how Lu Ming protected his disciples?
If he really said the reason, it might offend the entire Energy Warriors Association!
“It’s alright. Tell us. I will protect you.”
Lu Ming maintained a calm expression.
“Sure.”
The bald burly man gritted his teeth and said with grief and indignation. “The reason is because they are poor!”
Shush!
The audience was silent.
That was right.
Poor……
The Energy Warriors Association was too poor!
He had been through this in the past. No matter what vocation he chose, he had to start from scratch and he had no resources. Therefore, he could not change his vocation.
He knew that no one would want him.
But now, the Sword Card Master Association had made their stand—It was an association that everyone who participated in the on-campus job fair looked forward to joining. Since that was the case, he naturally did not hesitate in joining them!
There was no need to consider others at all!
That was his reason……
The representative from the Energy Warriors Association stiffened.
It was true.
No matter what reasons or excuses he came up with, there was no denying that the Energy Warriors Association was better than the Sword Card Master Association in terms of combat capability and skills level. However, this was the only exception……
He pulled a long face as he could not rebut him!
Actually……
The total amount of resources that the Energy Warriors Association provided for their disciples was the highest among all associations!
However……
Since they surpassed other associations in number, this was their weakness as well. This was because the large amount of resources had to be shared between their large number of disciples……
Well……
That was what happened.
Therefore, they had no way to refute.
Despite that, disciples of the Energy Warriors Association were not to be trifled with. The amount of resources they provided was relative. They might not have a lot of resources, but what about the Sword Card Master Association?
“Haha.
“As far as I know, your association does not have many resources as well?
“The situation is still manageable as you do not have that many disciples. But now that you have recruited so many disciples, how do you intend to train them?”
One Energy Warrior retorted.
“What did you say?”
Zhao Yunshan came out, looking at him doubtfully.
The person became silent and went back. “I didn’t say anything.”
Everyone was between laughter and tears.
That made sense too.
With Zhao Yunshan around, the Sword Card Master Association would never be lacking in resources!
“Child!”
The representative from the Energy Warriors Association sneered. “If an association is supported by one disciple, it is simply an unhealthy system. How long can the association last?! Although everything is fine now, what will happen to the Sword Card Masters if Zhao Yunshan quits the association one day?”
Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Hence……
They looked toward Lu Ming for an answer.
The newly joined disciples felt uncertain as well.
Yes.
It was too scary if their future was dependent on Zhao Yunshan alone!
“Hmm……
“That is a powerful counterattack. I didn’t expect it,” Lu Ming exclaimed. “However, Zhao Yunshan never served the association for free. Our system is an accumulation of points based on one’ contribution. He merely exchanges his for points.”
“Yes,” Zhao Yunshan agreed.
The points accumulation system of the association was his favorite system.
The system was similar to the membership system in a game that he used to play. He only needed to spend some money and he would be able to exchange for many core abilities!
This was a great idea.
Support the association?
He had never thought of it.
His master said that he was contributing to the association development contribution funds.
Everyone could add to the association development contribution funds. As far as he knew, Li Haoran had exchanged points for a large amount of contribution funds.
“But once he leaves, the association will still be left with no resources.”
The Energy Warrior kept pressing on with that issue.
“Have you heard of the legacy site across the sea that is under development?” Lu Ming asked.
“Yes.”
The Energy Warrior nodded.
He had naturally heard of this legacy site. He heard that The First Academy was responsible for developing it and it was very precious. In the future, it might be one of the legacy sites that they would be fighting for!
Every participation slot was very precious.
“Do you have a participation slot as well?”
He was very doubtful.
“I don’t have a slot.”
Lu Ming sighed.
“Then why did you bring it up?”
The Energy Warrior had a look of contempt in his eyes.
“I merely own some shares.”
Lu Ming sighed continuously.
The Energy Warrior was dumbstruck.
S-shares?!
Damn!
Are you kidding me?!
He looked instinctively toward the employee of The First Academy. The employee was dazed as well. He went to check with the higher-up and confirmed that—
Lu Ming indeed had shares in the legacy site.
Wow—
Everyone was shocked.
Lu Ming actually owned shares!
“Goodness, that is a legacy site that is jointly developed by the school……”
“The Sword Card Master Association might be small in size, but they have a large amount of resources. Does this mean that all the disciples who join now will have massive resources?!”
“That is possible!”
“Oh, by the way, we must not forget about the future places!”
The students were excited.
Yes.
Since he had shares in the legacy site, he would definitely have more slots for disciples in the future!
Hence……
All the graduates looked at the Sword Card Master Association with yearning in their eyes. The bald burly man hurried to join the Sword Card Master Association.
The Energy Warriors Association was speechless.
They remained silent for a long while before leaving the stage quietly.
They owned parts of legacy sites as well but there were too many people in the Energy Warriors Association, while it was the exact opposite for the Sword Card Master Association. If the resources were divided among their disciples, everyone only had very few resources!
They hated ostentatious people the most!
They were too despicable!!!……
Hence……
The Sword Card Master Association was once again the most popular association.
There was no other organization that could be compared to it!
The Sword Card Master Association became well-known to everyone. It was capable of attracting talents to join them! They gained popularity among the students!
However…… there was a problem……
There were no more geniuses left.
That was right.
They merely recruited four disciples and there were no more qualified geniuses!
Shush!
Shush!
The students appeared in batches.
They stared at the Sword Card Master Association, hoping to be recruited by them.
However……
Absolutely not!
They did not make any move to recruit them.
Lu Ming and the rest felt frustrated as well. The First Academy was supposed to be the world’s strongest college. Why were there only this few geniuses?!
“Well, President……”
Ye Liangfei said gingerly, “Do you have some misunderstanding about geniuses?”
That was right.
They ha ddiscovered the issue!
They had recommended a few people to their president, but he was not satisfied with them, saying that they were not as talented! Goodness, everyone in The First Academy was very talented!
People like them were considered top-notch talents!
Liu Hai……
He was very famous even before he graduated!
No ordinary talent could achieve that!
It was the same for him as well.
The other two disciples had achievements in their own fields. All of them were top-notch talents in The First Academy!
This was why he ranked first at the beginning of the assessment!
Although he had to admit that he failed for inexplicable reasons……
“President.
“Perhaps you can lower your requirements?” Ye Liangfei suggested cautiously.
“No!”
Li Haoran and the rest opposed it. “All of you barely fulfilled the minimum requirements.”
Ye Liangfei and the rest turned teary-eyed.
The minimum requirements……
To hell with them.
It turned out that they barely made it……
“Is there anyone who is more talented than us?”
Ye Liangfei was unconvinced.
Li Haoran thought about it and told them how they joined the Sword Card Master Association as well as the research projects that the first generation disciples were responsible for.
Ye Liangfei and the rest were shocked.
Dyeing……
Survival……
Spirit bodies……
Goodness!
What did they see?!
At this moment, they were deeply shocked to discover the reason why Xiaobai could be their senior sister and why these people were merely four-stars……
It turned out that……
They had such a profound understanding of cultivation!
People like them would strive to break through to peak six-star and would consider improving to a seven-star. As for the first generation disciples……
While they were cultivating, they never stopped their research!
Perhaps……
By the time they became peak six-stars, they would be able to break through to seven-star!
This was cultivation in the true sense!
At this moment, the few second generation disciples finally felt convinced.
Of course, this still could not solve the problem that there were no other disciples to recruit.
They finally spotted their fifth disciple after a long while. This was a very talented disciple. However, there was a delay in his cultivation, hence he was not very powerful.
The Sword Card Master Association recruited the student easily.
Afterward……
There were no more disciples.
They only managed to recruit five disciples from this batch of graduates!
The number……
“Did we really set the standards too high?”
Lu Ming sighed.
Ye Liangfei and the rest had the urge to echo his thoughts but they maintained their silence, fearing that if they said so, they would be asked to leave. Therefore, they had to smooth things over.
“Perhaps not many people are here,” Ye Liangfei said.
“Oh?”
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
“Didn’t you realize that those who participate in the on-campus job fair come from an average family background? Even if they are rich, they are only slightly richer than average,” Ye Liangfei said cautiously.
Lu Ming took a closer look. It was indeed the case.
“I reckon those who are really rich already have a master.”
Ye Liangfei sighed. “For example, Gao Tianlang or your sister. Their masters have already paved the path for them. There is no need for them to participate in the on-campus job fair.”
“Oh.”
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
“Yunshan……
“Without the Sword Card Master Association, would you participate in the job fair?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Of course not.”
Zhao Yunshan did not hesitate at all.
“Oh.”
Lu Ming understood now.
In the end, the on-campus job fair was merely a channel!
The First Academy offered a possible future path for the students! To put it bluntly, one could understand it as a job-seeking process!
Top graduates would look for jobs during the on-campus job fair……
As for individual rich tycoons……
Well……
They chose to work in the family businesses.
Therefore……
There were very few talents that could meet their requirements in today’s job fair.
“Understood.”
Lu Ming sighed.
It seemed that it was too unrealistic to have the goal of recruiting thirty people in one go.
The talent requirement of the Sword Card Master Association could not be lowered. Therefore, they had to source talents from other channels. After what happened, he believed that the Sword Card Master Association had shot to fame!
They dazzled and shone!
After a long time……
The on-campus job fair had ended.
Many of the students had left and Lu Ming was about to give up.
However……
At this moment.
A student entered the field.
Shush!
Almost everyone was looking at him, including the elders who were merely there to support the millennium anniversary and couldn’t care less. They were shocked!
This child……
Seven-star!
They could sense a seven-star aura on him!!!
That was right.
He was a graduate of The First Academy. Although he seemed to be an advanced six-star, there was a trace of seven-star on him!!!……
