Chapter 1321: Chapter 1321
After mailing the stuff to his sister, Du You found himself with nothing much to do. His parents just needed to confirm that he was safe, but due to confidentiality, he couldn’t make calls.
At least, his current strength was not enough to make the Asia Alliance bend the rules for him.
His sister, on the other hand, had gone into closed-door cultivation. Perhaps it was the rapid increase in her little brother Du You’s power that had stimulated her. Even with the support of the Asia Alliance and the help of many teammates, she had exhausted herself and only reached the fourth tier, with the fifth tier seeming out of reach as the fourth tier required accumulation of advancement materials.
And what about her little brother? Although she didn’t know exactly how many advancement skills he had, judging from what she knew, it seemed quite substantial. The terrifying speed at which he improved was direct to the sixth tier.
Keep in mind that if the foundation wasn’t solid, haphazard advancement wouldn’t allow for reaching the sixth tier; one would get stuck early on.
Moreover, neither Li Mengyao nor Xi Qianxue had come looking for him during this time, even though they knew of his existence. Only then did Du You realize that another year had passed without him noticing.
Time seemed to fly too quickly for Du You to keep up with. Now, he was about to become a fifth-year student. Alright, reaching the sixth tier in the fifth year would definitely scare the hell out of many people.
The academy had initially kept this a secret, apparently waiting for an opportunity to recruit.
Before the start of the term began, students from various schools started to register, and at that time, Capital University once again launched its crazy propaganda. A sixth-tier student had appeared at a school; what a tremendous rallying power.
No, it was practically a miracle. Many graduates of Capital University would not reach the sixth tier in their lifetimes, and yet here was one who was still in school. If this wasn’t a miracle, what was?
So, the vigorous propaganda campaign began anew. Ever since Du You entered the university, recruitment seemed to be Capital University’s own stage, as the limelight of other schools was once again overshadowed.
"Damn it, a sixth-tier student has appeared. What did they sacrifice to achieve this?"
"It’s not a matter of sacrifice. It’s almost impossible to reach the sixth tier regardless of the cost. It takes talent, and I must say, Du You’s talent is just terrifying."
Originally, they still harbored the idea of competing with Du You, but now, no one harbored such thoughts.
When one’s strength leads others by a step, it can inspire jealousy, but leading by too much leaves nothing but admiration. Those who were once dissatisfied now had no room for such feelings.
Sixth tier—they didn’t even know if they would reach it in their lifetimes. Even those born into great powers had no certainty.
Foundation, talent, luck, and whether one can pass the advancement tasks—all these were critical.
"Wait, isn’t it possible that Capital University made this up? Since Du You doesn’t have to show his strength in person, if it’s a lie, we can use this to counterattack."
These were the student union members of other academies, seeing their side’s quality students dwindling and possibly becoming the weakest union in history, and they were anxious. Follow current novels on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
The strength of the school and the student union were closely linked to them. These factors were important for adding to their resumes after graduation; it wasn’t just about getting a job.
"Hmph, would Capital University make such a mistake? Since they dare to openly promote it, it’s definitely true that Du You has reached the sixth tier. Such strength is hard to believe."
Another person beside him said, "That’s right. Look at that, that’s a certification recognized by the Asia Alliance."
Everyone looked over, where there was a special little symbol that many did not recognize. But those from certain backgrounds could identify it as something only granted after certification by the Asia Alliance.
With this symbol, the Asia Alliance backed the claim, leaving no room for error. The Asia Alliance wouldn’t lie for the sake of a sixth-tier, since in their eyes, the sixth-tier was decent but not exceptional.
So, everything they were witnessing now was true. This caused many to murmur in speculation.
As students and faculty from various academies expressed their sour feelings, the enrollment had already started. A sixth-tier presence was unique in the history of the academy; other academies could not find a comparable figure.
The name of the most powerful student in history spread far and wide, resulting in more and more people applying to Capital University, and its admission scores kept rising.
After all, the academy could only accommodate so many people. But since last year, the academy was prepared to expand recruitment.
Although the number of students at the academy remained the same, their quality was increasing. Some branches were established, and if managed well, these branches could become comparable to other powerful academies.
If they could stabilize their position, then Capital University would overshadow all other academies, relegating them to eat dust in the rear, and this was absolutely not acceptable.
So it wasn’t long before other major academies started to band together. Of course, they didn’t engage in direct conflict, but they began to recruit using other methods. Without such powerful students, they took a different approach.
Some academies with unique characteristics displayed them everywhere to attract students.
Other academies without distinctive features started implementing various subsidy conditions; unable to recruit students with reputations, they opted to use better offers instead. Thus, many who didn’t get into Capital University would choose their academies. In the background, these academies bled resources to train students, paying massive costs.
This result ended up benefiting many students across these academies, whose overall strength kept improving.
Of course, even so, they wouldn’t thank Du You. Instead, guided by their institutions, they either despised or envied him. After all, a sixth-tier powerhouse in the fifth grade was terrifying.
It was only fifth grade. If he didn’t graduate early, then Capital University could use him for publicity for another five years.
Thinking about this made the heads of other academies ache. The only way to avoid this situation was to have Du You graduate as quickly as possible—as long as he left the academy, negotiations would be easier. But with Du You’s power, they didn’t dare to force the issue.
Under these circumstances, the Capital began to stir with undercurrents.
