Around noon, we followed the plan and headed to Egg University for a campus visit.
Originally, Sister Xinyue was supposed to join us.
But because her previous driving school had no available cars, she switched to a new one today.
The new school seemed to have enough training cars, so she didn’t come to meet us.
So today, it was just Cluru and me visiting together.
Night suits ready, suitcase packed.
Let’s go!
.
Egg University’s Department of Immortal Spirits is a separate campus outside the original university grounds, specializing in Immortal Spirit-related majors.
Standing at the school gate, the first thing you notice is a huge round egg— enormous! It would probably just fit inside the Bird’s Nest stadium in the Capital.
That’s the Immortal Spirit Research and Incubation Center of Egg University. Rumor has it that it was originally an ancient Divine Beast’s egg.
After incubation, the professors reconstructed the eggshell into this distinctive egg-shaped building.
The big egg carries the blessing of that legendary Immortal Spirit, so any eggs incubated inside are born strong and have an extremely high survival rate.
“Are you the new students here to register?”
The moment Cluru and I stepped into the campus, a seemingly friendly Senior walked over.
“Come on, as your Senior, I’ll give you a tour. The school’s huge; you’ll get lost if you go by yourselves.”
“Uh… sorry, Senior, we want to explore on our own.”
Upon hearing our refusal, the Senior stopped and gave us a sharp glance.
That look was pretty intimidating.
If we were kids, we probably would’ve been scared stiff.
“You new students, you’d better listen to the Seniors once you’re here,” the Senior said coldly. “New students should know their place. Don’t act like troublemakers the moment you set foot on campus; it won’t do you any good.”
“?”
Did we just run into the school bully?
No way. Egg University is a top-tier institution with a strong academic atmosphere… How could they have a gang-like Senior?
This first impression was really disappointing.
But I was curious about what he wanted from blocking us.
So, we followed behind him.
“I’ve seen many new students like you,” the Senior said arrogantly, hands behind his back. “I know you’re all high achievers, top stars worshipped by teachers and feared by classmates… but you have to understand, here, you’re nothing.”
“…”
That was textbook arrogance.
Cluru and I silently followed along.
“Everyone here had to conquer the entire school, even the whole city, just to get admitted to Egg University… The lowest among them is at your level.”
“…”
“So remember, here, if you’re a tiger, you crawl for me; if you’re a dragon, you lie down for me.”
I froze.
After waiting a moment for a twist that never came, I realized the Senior was really trying to intimidate us!
Such a straightforward show of power!
“Come, I’ll take you to Qinglong College.” The Senior strode with exaggerated pigeon-toed steps toward the green dormitory area.
“Qinglong College?”
“Egg University has four branches named after the Four Symbols… Don’t tell me you don’t even know the Four Symbols.” The Senior sneered as he walked.
“The Four Symbols? Oh, I know that. I have a whole set.”
“You have a set of Shining Cards too?” The Senior lit up briefly but soon put on his usual annoying expression. “Ahem! Anyway, the school’s divided into Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu Colleges. Remember, only Qinglong College is the true, orthodox college.”
“Why?”
“No reason,” the Senior proudly tapped his chest badge and pointed to his teal uniform. “See this? This is the identity symbol of Qinglong College. Only real geniuses have the right to enter Qinglong. Not only that, your family fortune has to be at least one billion, or else you’re just a lowly underclass, unworthy of speaking with our Qinglong elites.”
“…One billion? Counting fixed assets and inventory of medicinal materials, I barely meet that…”
But I’d never heard of such an absurd admission criterion before.
Wouldn’t something so outrageous have been blasted all over the internet by now?
“In short,” the Senior disdainfully glanced at me, then Cluru, a sneer on his lips, “you two— one a pathetic idiot wearing a night suit in broad daylight, the other a shy fool hiding inside a suitcase— don’t even bother. You’re not qualified for Qinglong College.”
“…”
That Senior was way too rude.
It was infuriating.
Just then, a few other Seniors wearing the same Qinglong uniform passed by.
They all strutted arrogantly, walking with exaggerated pigeon toes and an air of superiority.
Seeing us, one sneered, “How dare these muggles come to Qinglong College? Zhao Qingwu, aren’t you afraid their foul breath will pollute our Qinglong air?”
This was going too far!
“That’s Senior Dongshan. Don’t worry, I’m just here to show these little freshmen reality, so they won’t mistakenly apply to Qinglong and make the students nauseous.”
“Get them out! Get them out! They stink! Breathing the same air as these lower-class scum nearly chokes me!” He waved his hands disgustedly.
Too much! These Qinglong people were unbearable… truly disgraceful to Qinglong’s name!
I felt embarrassed on Qinglong’s behalf!
“Alright, now go buy two cups of milk tea for me,” Senior Zhao Qingwu sat on a stone in a small grove, holding a folding fan and fanning himself like a refined nobleman. “It’s only natural that you underclassmen serve your Seniors. Hurry up and buy them!”
“What if I don’t?”
“Oh? This new freshman girl’s pretty bold,” Zhao Qingwu raised an eyebrow flirtatiously. “Listen, the university road is long. We still have years together. You’ve offended me on your first day… Don’t go dying mysteriously on your next mission.”
“Is that a threat?”
“A threat? No, no, no. Everyone knows that university life is about saving the world. As highly educated powerful Masters, we bear the heavy mission of fighting Resentful Ghosts… Many brave juniors have died for this cause. Who knows if you’ll be next? Right?”
That was definitely a threat.
This was lawless!
I thought for a moment and made a decision.
Without arguing, I teleported outside to the milk tea shop, bought two cheapest milk teas.
Mixed in the strongest laxative I could concoct.
Then I teleported back and handed them to Zhao Qingwu.
“Smart of you… You can teleport? So your ability belongs to the superpower category.” Zhao Qingwu happily inserted straws into both cups, sipping first on one then the other. “Not bad, two-stage teleportation. I underestimated you before. But even with that, you’re still unqualified for Qinglong College.”
“Still unqualified?” I expressionlessly waited for the laxative to take effect.
The effect was slow, to avoid suspicion on me.
But once it hit— hmph— he’d be launched to the moon.
“Of course, Egg University isn’t short of elites. There are at least eight thousand people in the world who can do two-stage blink. Only true elites like Yun Luo Xian qualify to join our Qinglong seniors.”
“…”
Fine.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the new student registration.”
Zhao Qingwu jumped off the stone, motioning for us to follow.
The shy suitcase freak and the idiot in broad daylight nightwear trailed after him.
The registration area was noisy; many others had come straight here after the holiday to register and tour.
I took a form and was about to fill it out at a desk.
Suddenly, another female freshman came over, standing beside me, muttering as she wrote:
“Ugh, offending the Qinglong Senior on the first day… what am I going to do?”
Oh? Another one who’d crossed the Senior?
“By the way!” The girl suddenly brightened. “I heard at Egg University, Baihu College is not only united and friendly but also powerful, the only one who can rival Qinglong College!
If you get into Baihu College, you’ll never have to worry about Qinglong College picking fights!
I’m definitely putting Baihu College on my application! No way I’ll get it wrong!”
“…”
Sister, your Yanguo map is way too short.
Senior Zhao Qingwu was nearby; hearing this, he got furious, glaring threateningly at the striking girl:
“I warn you, do NOT put Baihu College!”
“I’m going to put it! I can’t stand your arrogant Qinglong trash!” The girl suddenly found courage and fired back righteously. “Threatening freshmen isn’t brave! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west! I’m joining Baihu College! Standing with Baihu against your feudal bullies!”
Her passionate, fiery speech lit a fire inside me just listening!
“Classmate! Don’t be afraid!” She looked me in the eye, her just and fiery gaze burning like a small flame. “Join Baihu College with me! I’ve done my research— Baihu has a Gym Leader-level boss leading them, with a straightforward character who’ll never bow to evil arrogant forces!”
“…You… you… you all…” Zhao Qingwu’s face flushed red. “Don’t! If you join Baihu, I’ll, I’ll…”
“You’ll be powerless?”
The girl blocked me behind her, and that shut Zhao Qingwu up.
“Come on, classmate, join Baihu College with me!” The girl gave a thumbs-up.
I lowered my head and looked at the application form.
First, the name field.
I raised my hand and wrote: “Yun Luo Xian.”
