Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Demon Capital!

“Don’t be nervous,” Wang Haiping smiled.

“This time I came to watch the joint trial.

Your performance in the trial was very surprising and unexpected to me, so I wanted to learn more about your situation.

ɴοѵǤ0.сο

Don’t worry.

My questions won’t be too demanding.

Answer if you want to; if you don’t, it’s fine.”

Su Yuan naturally couldn’t refuse and immediately said, “Feel free to ask.”

Wang Haiping nodded.

After a brief pause, he asked, “I heard from your teacher, Yang Jun, that you just completed your awakening over the winter vacation?”

“Yes, on the first day of the winter break.”

“By that calculation, it’s been exactly a month.” Wang Haiping didn’t beat around the bush.

He got straight to the point.

“Su Yuan, you and I both know that you can only embed other Star Cards after awakening the Soul Card.

In other words, within just a month, you have mastered the Perfect Steel Flame Finger and Hardened Iron Armor?

And also achieved Great Success in Wind Walking and Gray Flame Strike?”

Wang Haiping didn’t ask about compound skills.

This wasn’t knowledge available in high school; Su Yuan might not even know he was using compound skills.

From the moment he began using the system’s Enhancement Star Card to frantically improve his Skill Level, Su Yuan foresaw this day.

His exceptionally high Skill Level would eventually draw attention.

But this was unavoidable unless he was willing to drastically slow down his growth or even not use the system’s enhancement function.

So, to cover up the fact that he used the system to enhance Star Cards to elevate his Skill Proficiency Level, he had to have a title of “Skill Cultivation Super Genius.”

A slight look of confusion appeared on Su Yuan’s face.

“Well, actually, I’m a bit puzzled too.

It seems I have some unique qualities…

After I awakened my Soul Card, I went hunting Star Beasts in the eastern Great Barbarian Mountain Area.

At first, it was fine, but later I found that every time I used an embedded Star Card skill, I would gain substantial insights, and my skill mastery would improve rapidly, especially during battles.

After discovering this, I simply stayed there.

Except for resupplying in the town, I spent a whole month hunting Star Beasts in the Great Barbarian Mountain Area.

After nearly a month of continuous fighting, all my embedded skills, including the Perfect Steel Flame Finger and Wind Walking, visibly improved.

Director Wang, you are strong and knowledgeable.

Do you know what might be causing this?

Will there be any side effects in the future?”

Is that so…

Wang Haiping rubbed his chin, quietly observing Su Yuan’s eyes.

Su Yuan, after all, was a person who had lived two lives and even died once in his previous life.

He faced Wang Haiping with calm, still-water eyes that showed a mix of confusion and a hint of worried naivety without revealing a single flaw.

Acting!

After a while, Wang Haiping couldn’t discern anything and nodded secretly.

If Su Yuan’s situation wasn’t so unusual, Wang Haiping wouldn’t have even asked.

Now it seemed that Su Yuan could gain extraordinary insights into skills during combat.

In other words, his comprehension was amazing!

Without such exceptional comprehension, it would be impossible to create compound skills.

Furthermore, to hone his skills, he persisted in the Great Barbarian Mountain Area for a whole month.

This little guy could really endure hardships.

Not bad…

Thinking this, Wang Haiping grew increasingly satisfied with Su Yuan.

Patting Su Yuan’s shoulder, Wang Haiping smiled and said, “Su Yuan, don’t worry.

This won’t have any side effects.

It’s simply because your skill cultivation talent is incredibly strong, stronger than anyone I’ve ever seen!

This talent is on par with the special recruits of top universities, so I plan to recommend you directly to a prestigious academy.”

Su Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Since Wang Haiping was the Director of Education in Guangchuan City, he assumed this meant Shuzhou College was in the bag!

Being directly admitted to Shuzhou College as a special recruit was certainly a good thing.

Moreover, Su Yuan’s predecessor’s dream before the transmigration was to enter Shuzhou College.

Wang Haiping continued slowly, “You know the conditions for special recruitment in top universities.

Your realm is only at the Eighth Stage, so we can put that aside for now.

However, I must ask about your Soul Card.

If I’m not mistaken, you awakened an incredibly rare space-type Soul Card, right?”

“Yes.”

“I previously asked your homeroom teacher, Yang Jun.

He said you awakened late because you encountered numerous obstacles during the process and only succeeded during the winter vacation.

May I ask what grade your Soul Card is?”

Wang Haiping stared at Su Yuan’s silver eyes, feeling a bit nervous.

Su Yuan considered briefly before replying somewhat vaguely, “Blue Grade.”

The condition for special recruitment into elite academies was a blue Soul Card.

The rapid improvement of his Skill Levels could be attributed to an extraordinary talent.

This was justifiable.

However, the awakening of a Soul Card was related to one’s soul and the level of the Soul Awakening Card used.

If the Education Bureau investigated, they would easily find out that he had used just an entry-level Soul Awakening Card.

Awakening a blue top-grade Soul Card with an entry-level Soul Awakening Card, what a concept…

Out of curiosity, Su Yuan had looked through information and records afterward.

In the current Great Flame, there were likely fewer than ten people who initially awakened a blue top-grade Soul Card.

As for those who initially awakened a 6C talent Soul Card, there had only been three in the entire history of humankind on Blue Sea Star.

This was far more astonishing and important than mastering perfect skills within a month.

It would definitely draw unimaginable attention.

If he truly possessed this talent, it would be fine to state it outright.

But since it involved the system, it required careful consideration, thus he only mentioned it was a blue Soul Card.

“Good!

Excellent, to achieve a blue Soul Card is very impressive!”

To Su Yuan’s surprise, Wang Haiping didn’t ask more and clapped his hands in delight.

“Possessing both incredible cultivation talent and an extremely rare space-type Soul Card, I was worried your Soul Card might be green-grade, which would greatly limit your future potential.

Since you have awakened a blue Soul Card, there’s hope that you could even surpass the level of the Burning Sun in the future.

You can fully utilize your monstrous talent!”

Wang Haiping had already inquired about Su Yuan’s family background through Yang Jun.

Coming from a traditional civilian family that wasn’t even middle-class, at best, they could afford a master-level Soul Awakening Card.

Hence, Wang Haiping was only concerned that Su Yuan’s Soul Card might be green and affect his potential.

He never imagined Su Yuan’s Soul Card would be blue mid-grade or even top-grade.

A blue low-grade space-type Soul Card might not even be inferior to a typical blue mid-grade Soul Card.

This made Wang Haiping even happier.

Smiling with satisfaction, he said, “Since you have a blue Soul Card, I can confidently recommend you to Demon Capital Academy.”

“Thank you, Director Wang…

Hmm?

Demon Capital Academy?!”

Su Yuan was about to express his gratitude when he suddenly realized that Wang Haiping wasn’t referring to Shuzhou College but Demon Capital Academy?

Wang Haiping laughed heartily and said, “That’s right, one of the Three Capitals Academies, Demon Capital Academy!”

In Great Flame Country, there were the Three Capitals, Four Extremes, and Twelve States, totaling nineteen Level One cities.

States like Shuzhou and Wanzhou wouldn’t be discussed for now.

The Four Extremes referred to the north, south, east, and west, each securing a part of Great Flame, maintaining internal stability, and defending against external threats.

As for the Three Capitals—Capitol City, Demon City, and Demon Capital—they were the absolute core of Great Flame, with each city having its unique characteristics.

Demon Capital, located in the southeastern border of Great Flame, was adjacent to the highly dangerous and unfathomable Ancient Forbidden Zone.

Thousands of years ago, Great Flame signed a pact with the Star Beasts ruling the Ancient Forbidden Zone.

Demon Capital served as both a link for friendly relations between Great Flame and the Ancient Forbidden Zone and a crucial preventive measure in critical times.

The “Demon” in Demon Capital referred to both the Star Beasts and extraordinary geniuses.

This young, free city was full of diverse cultures unrestricted by numerous rules, producing countless strong individuals with very open policies.

Registered Star Beasts could walk freely in Demon Capital, which also accepted Star Beasts friendly to humans to join in building and managing the city.

These unique policies attracted numerous renowned powerful Star Beasts, including one of Demon Capital’s Deputy City Lords, the legendary Star Beast above the Burning Sun level—the Five-colored Peacock Ming King, Kong Zheng!

Demon Capital’s unique geographical location and policies created its distinct cultural style.

Even in Demon Capital Academy, every few years, descendants of epic and legendary Star Beasts who were friendly with Great Flame humans would occasionally be sent to study there.

These descendants were either from powerful Star Beasts within Great Flame or…

from the Ancient Forbidden Zone!
