Chapter 123: Bloodline Fusion Ritual! Choosing the War College!

TL: Etude Translations

“Damn it! It’s Principal Wang Hui!!”

“I heard Principal Wang Hui left the university a year ago. I never expected him to show up at the New Student Competition.”

“Yeah! And to think he would actually extend an invitation to Zhou Yi!”

“…”

Principal Wang Hui’s sudden rise and announcement caused a wave of chatter among the freshmen below.

Many of the scions of prominent families were utterly shocked.

“Wow, Principal Wang Hui actually wants to become Zhou Yi’s exclusive mentor!!”

“This is major news!!!”

“What’s the big deal about the principal becoming a mentor? After all, Zhou Yi is the top freshman…”

A clueless freshman asked in confusion.

“Haha, you just don’t get it.”

A young scion from a family said mysteriously:

“Principal Wang Hui has been at Suhang University for twelve years!”

“But during these twelve years, he has never taken on a single student!!”

As a formidable figure at level 64, Principal Wang Hui certainly lacked no admirers.

Over the past twelve years, countless prodigies had attempted to become his disciples.

But without exception, all had failed…

Yet now, this legendary principal had formally extended an invitation to Zhou Yi!

“Does that mean Principal Wang Hui has no students at all?”

Another freshman asked in surprise.

“Of course, he has students—more than one!”

“But the last time he took on a disciple was twenty years ago, before he even joined Suhang University.”

“That’s exactly why his students are far removed from us now!”

“Principal Wang Hui’s first student is currently a level 60 powerhouse and has taken over the ‘Skyfeather Society’ he founded.”

“Even the last student he accepted, before his tenure at Suhang University, reportedly transferred into a third-transfer profession years ago…”

The young scion who had spoken earlier sighed with deep admiration.

“If Zhou Yi accepts, doesn’t that mean his future prospects will skyrocket?”

A freshman exclaimed.

The Skyfeather Society, one of Zhongxia Country’s largest associations, was well-known among the freshmen.

As its founder, Principal Wang Hui was a renowned powerhouse.

Although he had retired from active leadership, his unmatched influence remained.

For instance, his first disciple was now the current president of the Skyfeather Society.

Not to mention, his network of equally powerful peers formed an intricate, high-level web of connections.

If Zhou Yi chose to become Principal Wang Hui’s student, he—coming from an ordinary family—would instantly gain a profoundly deep background!!

Of course…

For the scions of prominent families, the background wasn’t the main point. What intrigued them most was the Bloodline Fusion Ritual mentioned by Principal Wang Hui.

“I think I’ve heard about it somewhere, but I can’t quite recall…”

…

…

As Principal Wang Hui declared his terms, the freshmen below whispered among themselves.

The entire group of teachers and department heads on the ceremonial stage looked utterly astonished.

Did they hear that correctly?

That powerful principal was actually interested in taking on a disciple!!

Moreover, he was offering to perform the Bloodline Fusion Ritual for Zhou Yi!

Such extravagance!!

At that moment, even many instructors looked at Zhou Yi with envy.

Such conditions would tempt even them, let alone a student…

As for Principal Wang Hui’s suggestion that Zhou Yi join the War College, neither Dean Zhou Huayang nor Dean Song Qi showed the slightest dissatisfaction.

After all, they knew that if Principal Wang Hui became Zhou Yi’s exclusive mentor, the specific college he chose would matter little…

…

…

Before entering Suhang University, Zhou Yi had already studied a lot about the institution.

Thus, when Wang Hui stood and extended his invitation, relevant information about the principal surfaced in Zhou Yi’s mind:

Wang Hui, the sole principal of Suhang University and a national parliamentarian.

A level 64 Third-Transfer Retribution Knight, with incomparably formidable strength.

Widely acknowledged as the strongest in Suhang University!!

Having someone like him as an exclusive mentor was undoubtedly the best choice.

Moreover, while Zhou Yi had no idea what the Bloodline Fusion Ritual was, he could infer from the envious looks cast by many instructors that it must be something extraordinary.

“You only need to know that the Bloodline Fusion Ritual is a forbidden-level spell, requiring the use of foreign bloodlines for the ritual. Once the spell is completed, you will gain a unique bloodline.”

“Similar to those born with innate bloodlines, your physique will be significantly enhanced after the spell. With each level-up, you will also receive additional free attribute points and skill points.”

Dean Wu Mang stepped forward to explain.

As a dean, even he felt that this was an over-the-top luxury…

No one expected the principal to use such a thing as a bargaining chip to win over Zhou Yi.

Thinking of Principal Wang Hui’s terrifying strength and influence, Zhou Yi felt it was only natural.

Indeed, for such a powerhouse, offering something as extravagant as a forbidden-level spell was expected.

Moreover, this spell was especially suitable for Zhou Yi, who currently only had the bloodline of an ordinary human.

Once the ritual succeeded, Zhou Yi, endowed with a special bloodline, would see his strength advance to an entirely new level!!

“Ah, this…”

The explanation left the freshmen in utter disbelief.

None of them had imagined that a professional’s bloodline could be forcibly altered through external spells!

“Changing a bloodline… Zhou Yi-gege is going to get even stronger.”

Jiang Churan gazed at the figure ahead, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She marveled at the thought that if Zhou Yi truly changed his bloodline, his strength would experience another massive surge!!

“A forbidden-level spell to forcibly alter bloodlines. Zhou Yi really hit the jackpot!”

Ranked sixteenth, Shen Lingfeng’s eyes were filled with resentment.

If not for Zhou Yi, the top freshman position would have been his!!

And with it, he would have gained Principal Wang Hui as an unparalleled backer!!

Moreover…

If not for Zhou Yi, his ranking wouldn’t have dropped so far!!

Badly injured, Shen Lingfeng attributed all his misfortune to Zhou Yi.

He conveniently forgot that it was he who initiated the challenge earlier and recklessly unleashed the power of the Flame Dragon Bloodline…

At this moment, the gazes directed at Zhou Yi by the crowd carried varying degrees of complexity.

A level 64 high-tier professional!

The founder of the Skyfeather Society!

A national parliamentarian!

Everyone understood that Zhou Yi had truly gained the favor of a major figure.

Moreover, with the forbidden-level Bloodline Fusion Ritual, Zhou Yi would gain an entirely new special bloodline!!

He was already this powerful without any special bloodline.

It was almost unimaginable how terrifyingly strong he would become once this shortcoming was addressed…

Amidst the countless gazes fixated on him, Zhou Yi finally made his decision.

“I choose… the War College!”

…

Skyfeather Society = Tianyu Society.
