"Damn, this is the commotion the boss made. It wasn't even like this when I awakened my poison talent. Boss, you're the greatest!"
Seeing the scene before him, Di Fei was instantly struck with blind admiration.
"This is..."
Lu Xueyi looked at the spectacle with a trace of speculation in her heart, and the heavy stone finally dropped from her chest.
"As expected of Brother Mo."
The worry that had previously filled Lu Xueyi's delicate face completely vanished.
"Wood attribute, Xun trigram. It was worth waiting more than ten years; this kid is indeed the person I've been looking for."
Sitting at the edge, the elderly man observed the commotion caused by Moyuan's awakening and made up his mind. Moyuan was undoubtedly the person he sought.
"Another one! Another one!"
Having witnessed student awakenings so many times, Liu Qingshan naturally understood what such a brilliant light represented. His gaze turned somewhat dazed.
"Hhahahaha, it seems No. 11 High School is favored by the heavens! Another great talent has emerged. This time, we'll probably be counting money until our hands cramp!"
Looking at Moyuan on the awakening platform, Li Yuan threw his head back and laughed heartily.
These promising talents were tangible achievements. Following this talent awakening, No. 11 High School would undoubtedly shake Hecheng, and it wouldn't be impossible for their reputation to spread to the surrounding cities.
"Moyuan, wood attribute, nine-star rating!"
As the guiding teacher's voice faded, the students below instantly erupted in chaos.
"Damn, unbelievable! Our No. 11 High School is going to be famous."
"No way, I'm going back to tell my younger brother right away not to apply to No. 24 High School. He needs to sign up for No. 11 High School immediately."
"Exactly, what even is No. 24 High School? Can you eat it?"
"Hey, Dad? Hurry up and tell my sister to apply to No. 11 High School. What do you mean, what's so good about No. 11 High School? Our school just produced three nine-star talents... Beep, beep, beep..."
"Damn, you're still making phone calls? No, I've got to call too. My dad's friend's neighbor's son's friend's uncle's friend is the principal's distant nephew. Maybe my little brother can pull some strings."
"Bro, that connection is a bit too distant!"
"If a connection that far away works, then my surname is Li, and the principal's surname is Li too—we might have been one family five hundred years ago! I should find time to go claim kinship with the principal and pull some strings."
"What a coincidence, my surname is Li too! Why don't the two of us go together?"
"Let's go together, absolutely."
With a calm expression, Moyuan stepped down from the platform. The moment he reached the ground, the admissions recruiters swarmed toward him like a flood.
"Student, I'm an admissions teacher from Galaxy University, and my surname is Zhou. You can choose our university! We have a beautiful environment, fresh air, and sometimes you can even go camping in the wild. Choosing our school is definitely worth more than what you pay for."
"Student, don't listen to his nonsense! Their school is outside the city and gets attacked by Monster Beasts every month. Come to our school instead—the surrounding area has honest folk customs, and things are cheap and of good quality."
"Don't listen to him spouting crap! Their school is just near a few tiny villages, out in the middle of nowhere where even dogs won't go. Our university is located right in the city center, and enrollment comes with one-on-one instruction from master teachers. We will definitely not let your great talent go to waste."
Faced with the admissions teachers talking over one another, Moyuan felt a slight headache coming on.
He had heard of the schools behind these recruiters in his past life. They were merely second- or third-rate institutions, not even coming close to the threshold of a first-rate university.
"Thank you all for your kind intentions, teachers, but I have some business to attend to and must head back first. I will consider your respective schools in due course." Wearing a polite smile, Moyuan politely declined them all.
He already had a clear idea of which university he would attend in the future.
The platforms of the universities before him were too small; with his talent, he feared he wouldn't be able to spread his wings and make a real impact. Moreover, top-tier universities wouldn't huddle together in a chaotic mess like a vegetable market with zero order, the way these recruiters were doing.
With that, Moyuan walked back toward his own classroom.
"Boss! Boss, you're back!"
Seeing Moyuan walking over, Di Fei called out happily.
Moyuan nodded and looked around. "Where's Xue'er?"
"Sister-in-law said her class was having a gathering, so she went back first." Di Fei was still in a state of high excitement.
"Boss, your wood attribute talent might not have strong offensive power, but its defensive power is pretty high. In the future, when we fight together, you defend and I release poison—we'll definitely be able to take down a massive crowd."
"The wood attribute does have relatively high defense, but who says it lacks offensive power?" Moyuan looked at Di Fei and sighed helplessly.
Although the wood attribute had low attack power in the early stages, by the later stages, its offense, defense, and binding abilities were all top-tier. Attribute weaknesses were generally significant only in the beginning, but they gradually evened out over time.
Most importantly, who said he only had the wood attribute talent? He was an Awakened with dual attributes.
In his past life, after his talent awakening, he initially thought he was purely a wood attribute user as well. But as time passed, he accidentally discovered that he also possessed the lightning attribute—and his lightning attribute talent was a staggering ten-star rating.
As everyone knew, among all attributes, lightning undoubtedly had the highest attack power, and its speed was blindingly fast. Relying on his dual talents, even if he entered a top-tier university where hidden dragons and crouching tigers abounded, he would still secure a place for himself.
"By the way, Xiaopang, have you decided which university to go to?" Moyuan suddenly remembered that Di Fei hadn't chosen a university yet.
"Not yet, I still don't know which one to pick." At the mention of this, Di Fei wore a troubled expression. The admissions teachers who had surrounded him earlier had talked too much all at once. There were too many options, and he had no idea which one to choose.
"If you want to push your poison attribute talent to its absolute limit, I suggest you go to Five Poisons University. I believe you can learn a lot of good things there." Seeing Di Fei's distressed look, Moyuan knew he had been confused by those recruiters.
In his past life, Di Fei had indeed entered Five Poisons University, but only after transferring midway. Initially, Di Fei had wanted to attend university alongside him, but the university Moyuan attended clearly wasn't suited for Di Fei. Later on, Di Fei's father directly had him transferred to Five Poisons University, and only then did Di Fei's strength advance by leaps and bounds.
"Boss, are you going too?"
"Five Poisons University suits you, but it doesn't suit me. I have a different university to attend." Moyuan shook his head. He couldn't go to Five Poisons University; that institution specifically cultivated experts in poison. Entering Five Poisons University with a dual talent like his simply wouldn't work.
"Ah! I was hoping to go to college with you, Boss." Hearing that he wouldn't be able to attend university with Moyuan, Di Fei's mood dropped.
"It's not like we won't be able to see each other. Once we graduate, we can fight side by side again. Don't fall behind my pace by then, Xiaopang."
Moyuan earnestly persuaded Di Fei. He remembered that in his past life, Di Fei's father's first choice for him had been Five Poisons University. But Di Fei had been stubborn and insisted on following him to college, only agreeing to go to Five Poisons University later after realizing the gap in their abilities.
"Hehe, alright Boss, I'll listen to you. I'll go to Five Poisons University, and when we graduate, the two of us will sweep through the world." Hearing Moyuan put it that way, Di Fei stopped hesitating.
Moyuan nodded. Since Di Fei had chosen Five Poisons University right from the start this time, he believed Di Fei's growth in this lifetime would surely surpass his past life.
