Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Tianzhou Academy, All Schools Shocked
"Impossible... It's a mid-tier War General-level extraordinary creature!"
"My Judgment of Heaven was swallowed too? How can this be?!"
As the Creator's final words echoed, the overwhelming force descended.
A cataclysmic explosion shook the entire world, sending up a blinding mushroom cloud.
Ding! All creatures on one side have been annihilated. This dimensional battle is over!
Ding! As per the dimensional battle rules, the losing side must cede territory to the victors.
Ding! Distribution complete: each victor receives 20 kilometers of land and 60 kilometers of ocean!
The mechanical voice announced its judgment.
Outside the battlefield, as the war concluded, the classmates across from Bai Ze collectively spat out mouthfuls of blood. Some even collapsed to the ground.
"My world... it's all gone!"
"My poor Tom! You died such a horrible death!"
Cries of despair echoed across the room, creating a scene almost too pitiful to watch.
When a Creator loses a dimensional battle, this kind of backlash is unavoidable.
In severe cases, it could even lead to sudden death.
"Classmate Bai Ze, please, you absolutely must come to our university!"
Suddenly, just as Bai Ze and Xia Yinyue's consciousness returned to reality, a swarm of interstellar university officials rushed in, encircling them tightly.
"Classmate Bai Ze, our university is willing to offer you a scholarship of tens of millions, along with a large number of resource cards and creature cards. Please, join us!"
"Bai Ze, that's nothing compared to what we'll offer! Our university can guarantee you direct admission to the Galactic Federation upon graduation. We must have you!"
The high-ranking officials competed fervently, treating Bai Ze as if he were a precious artifact up for auction.
The spectacle left Principal Cao Bin and the headmaster utterly dumbfounded.
Especially Cao Bin how could he let such an opportunity slip away?
"Junior Bai! Junior Bai!" Cao Bin quickly adjusted his tone, calling out with newfound warmth.
Rushing forward, he approached Bai Ze with an ingratiating smile.
"Junior Bai, I was wrong earlier completely blind to your brilliance. I almost allowed such an extraordinary talent like you to remain unnoticed among the crowd."
"Junior Bai, our university, South University, is now willing to offer you three A-tier cards as a scholarship if you join us!"
Cao Bin thumped his chest with a vow of sincerity.
He truly hadn't anticipated that his visit to South High School would yield such a bounty.
Not only had he found Xia Yinyue, who awakened with a Companion Talent, but also Bai Ze, a super-genius who created a War General-level creature in just seven days.
If he could bring both of them back to South University, his position as student council president would be unshakable!
However, Bai Ze crossed his arms and shook his head with a smile, rejecting him outright.
"Forget it, Senior Cao. Your esteemed university doesn't seem to value me, thinking I'm unworthy. So why should I go somewhere where I'll be looked down upon?"
Hearing this, Cao Bin panicked.
"Don't say that, Junior Bai! If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, you can let me know!"
"Besides, if you come to our university, Xia Yinyue will also be there. Wouldn't that be great?"
Cao Bin spread his arms wide, his expression one of eager anticipation.
Yet Bai Ze remained unmoved, his smile unwavering.
"Junior Bai..." Cao Bin's expression darkened as he lowered his voice.
"You must understand, in South City, our South University is the most prestigious institution. Other schools can't offer you nearly as many training resources, nor the support you'll need to advance in the future. So, you'd better not..."
"Not what?"
Suddenly, a clear voice interrupted him from outside the meeting room.
Everyone turned to see a woman in a trench coat with a stern face walk in. Behind her stood several middle-aged men, their hands behind their backs, eyes slightly narrowed.
The woman gave Cao Bin a warning glance, which instantly left him too terrified to continue.
"Classmate Bai, let me introduce myself. We are instructors from Tianzhou Academy."
The group approached Bai Ze and began to explain.
"We watched the entire dimensional battle from outside."
"Now, on behalf of Su Lin Province's Tianzhou Academy, I'd like to extend you an invitation: we are willing to offer you an S-tier card and a top-tier Galactic Bank black card to join our school!"
As she finished speaking, she held out a sleek black card that shimmered with a radiant luster.
The crowd gasped.
An S-tier card an item so rare that even a billionaire once failed to buy one for hundreds of billions.
And yet, such a precious item was being casually offered to a student?
The Galactic Bank's black card was no less astonishing, containing a staggering deposit of one billion credits!
Even the wealthiest of the students present couldn't easily produce such an amount.
"I remember now that's Tianzhou Academy, the second-ranked university in Su Lin Province!"
"It's also among the top ten institutions nationwide!"
"Bai Ze being invited by them this is like becoming a phoenix in a single leap!"
Hearing the students' chatter, Bai Ze recalled some information.
After 18 years in this world, he'd frequently looked up details about interstellar universities.
Tianzhou Academy was indeed a top-tier institution in the province.
"Bai Ze, Tianzhou Academy is among the best in our province and ranks highly across the country," the headmaster interjected.
"If you attend their school, your future achievements will be extraordinary."
The other universities' representatives could only sigh helplessly.
With Tianzhou Academy in the picture, what chance did they stand?
"Alas... It seems we have no hope this time..."
After a brief moment of thought, Bai Ze looked up and said, "Alright, but I have one condition."
The leading female instructor smiled. "Go ahead. There's nothing Tianzhou Academy can't provide its students."
Her confidence left the other schools' officials drawing sharp breaths.
Being able to casually offer an S-tier card was Tianzhou Academy's strength.
Even Cao Bin looked as though he might explode with frustration.
Compared to Tianzhou Academy, South University was utterly outmatched.
"My condition is simple: I want Yinyue to be admitted to Tianzhou Academy as well," Bai Ze declared.
The female instructor paused briefly before smiling.
"Oh, that's all? No problem."
"Not only that, but we'll also provide her with matching resources. She will receive no less attention than any other student."
