Chapter 293 Songcheng Academy Competition
Jiang Han originally planned to send Xin Xia back to school and then go back himself, but unexpectedly, he encountered the Songcheng Academy holding a college competition, and Xin Xia's two roommates, Gu Qingwan and Xiao Mengxue, went to the school's training ground to watch the competition.
So Jiang Han pushed Xin Xia directly toward the Songcheng Academy's training ground. Although the Songcheng Academy's training ground was smaller than the Mingzhu Academy's training ground, it was still about the size of two football fields. Since this match was related to the provincial team's recommendation quota, the match was receiving a lot of attention from the students.
Upon entering the training ground, Jiang Han saw that the audience seats were packed with people. Finding Gu Qingwan and Xiao Mengxue among so many people was extremely difficult. Xin Xia took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Qingwan saying that they had arrived.
Two beautiful young women sat at the very front of the audience. One looked at the match below with an icy expression, while the other ate popcorn with a smile on her face. The two were Xiao Ruoxue and Gu Qingwan.
Suddenly, Gu Qingwan heard a notification sound from her pocket. She took it out and saw that Xin Xia had arrived at the training ground.
"Ruoxue, Xinxia and the others have arrived at the training ground. I'll go meet them." Gu Qingwan said, handing the popcorn bucket to Xiao Ruoxue beside her. Then, Gu Qingwan got up and walked towards the entrance of the training ground.
Jiang Han and Xin Xia hadn't waited more than a few minutes at the entrance of the training grounds when Gu Qingwan walked over with a smile. Standing in front of Xin Xia's wheelchair, Gu Qingwan said with a smile, "Xin Xia, you're finally back! I thought you'd be a couple more days late!"
As she spoke, Gu Qingwan glanced at Jiang Han behind Xinxia, which made Xinxia's pretty face flush red instantly.
"Qingwan, what did you say? If you keep talking like that, I'm not talking to you anymore," Xinxia said angrily.
"I understand, I understand everything you're saying," Gu Qingwan said, looking at Xinxia with a warm, maternal smile.
After teasing Xin Xia a few times, Gu Qingwan led her and Jiang Han toward their seats. Along the way, many students noticed Jiang Han pushing the wheelchair. Since there were few students in the Healing Department and Xin Xia was pretty, many students recognized her.
"It's such a shame that the healing girl from the White Magic Academy has a boyfriend. I was actually thinking of pursuing her."
"That silver-haired boy seems to be the one who taught Ice Prince a lesson on the campus forum a while ago. Liu Yilin should have been beaten up a long time ago. He deceived countless girls' feelings because of his good looks."
"I've disliked Liu Yilin for a long time. If it weren't for him, my girlfriend wouldn't have broken up with me."
"Is this the handsome guy who taught Chen Yunqi and the others a lesson? He's really handsome. I wish I could have him as my boyfriend."
"Ya-Ping, don't you have a boyfriend? How can you be eyeing this handsome silver-haired guy?"
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~, Yuan Jinpeng is useless except for being obedient. It's better to dump him as soon as possible and find someone else."
"Zhao Yaping, so this is how you see me? In that case, let's just consider these past two years of my relationship as feeding dogs. Let's break up."
As Jiang Han pushed Xin Xia past the audience seats of the Elemental Academy, he happened to see a couple suddenly break up. The boy angrily threw the drink bottle in his hand to the ground. However, Jiang Han didn't care. If he knew that the couple broke up because of him, he wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Songcheng Academy receives fewer cultivation resources from the state each year than Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy, so the academy is divided into four colleges: Elemental Academy, Dimensional Magic Academy, White Magic Academy, and Black Magic Academy.
The Elemental Academy has seven elemental systems: fire, lightning, earth, water, ice, light, and wind. As for the Dimensional Magic Academy, White Magic Academy, and Black Magic Academy, they are no different from famous academies such as Pearl Academy and Imperial Capital Academy.
The academy simply merged the eight elemental systems into the Elemental Academy. While this allowed for full utilization of the cultivation resources allocated by the state, it also intensified the competition among the students in the Elemental Academy.
After arriving at Xiao Ruoxue's location, Xiao Ruoxue glanced at Jiang Han indifferently without saying a word. Instead, she looked at Xin Xia in the wheelchair and smiled slightly. Xiao Ruoxue's personality meant that she would only show a smile in front of people she was close to, while she was always cold and aloof to others.
"Xinxia, what have you been doing all this time? You've been gone for almost half a month," Xiao Ruoxue said softly.
"I went to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan with Brother Jiang Han and the others for training," Xin Xia said with a smile.
"Zhuoyuan North Corner? I heard there was a fire there recently. Are you alright?" Xiao Ruoxue looked at Xinxia with some concern, while Gu Qingwan looked at Xinxia with concern.
Although the two of them had only known Xinxia for less than half a year, they got along like best friends. They would go grocery shopping, eat delicious food, watch movies, and even encourage each other to cultivate.
"It's alright. Although it was a bit dangerous, we still managed to recover quite a bit this time," Xinxia said with a smile.
"The match is about to start, so take these snacks." Jiang Han said, taking out a lot of drinks and snacks from his system space. These were prepared when he went to Zhuoyuan North Corner, but he hadn't finished eating them yet. Now that he wanted to watch the match, he took them out and ate them while watching.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about the upcoming match, but I still want to thank handsome Jiang for the snacks," Gu Qingwan said with a smile.
Just then, a loud voice rang out from several magic loudspeakers in the trial field. All the students in the audience heard the loud voice clearly. Everyone in Songcheng Academy recognized the speaker. The speaker was Hong Pengtao, the head of the Elemental Academy.
Hong Pengtao majored in fire, secondarily in ice, and supplemented his studies in shadow and wind. His fire skill reached the second level of the super-tier, his ice skill reached the first level of the super-tier, and his shadow and wind skills also reached the high level, making him a true master.
If Hong Pengtao's abilities were placed in top-tier universities in China like Imperial Capital University or Pearl University, he might not be able to serve as the head of a department, but he would have no problem serving as the head of a department in a first-class university like Songcheng University.
The reason why Imperial Capital University and Pearl University can become the top universities in China is not because of their large number of faculty members. Faculty members are defined by the number of high-level tutors, super-level professors, or department heads. This is the difference between top universities and first- or second-tier universities.
"Today is the college competition at Songcheng Academy. I'm sure many of you have heard about the recommendation for the provincial team. I can assure you that it's true, but only the top three spots are available. The fourth and fifth place winners will have a chance to become substitutes for the provincial team. However, they will need to go to the provincial team for selection. If they succeed, they can stay as substitutes. As for those who fail, they'll have to go back to where they came from."
"So if you want to earn a spot on the provincial team, then show your strength in this big competition!!"
P.S.: Please vote for me!
According to my plan, the strength of the department heads should all be above the top level. Among them, the department heads of Imperial Capital University and Pearl University are relatively strong. The strength of the department heads of first-class and second-class universities, although not as strong as those of Imperial Capital University and Pearl University, has at least reached the top level.
I'm not entirely sure about the exact strength of Wei Hua, the head of the Fire Academy at Mingzhu Academy in the original work, so I'll just assume he's at the Super-Rank for now. If you feel it doesn't fit the original and don't want to read it anymore, there's nothing I can do. I apologize to you and hope you understand.
