Chapter 106: Many Years Later…

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before w.a.n.g Teng made his decision, the teachers from the five universities started quarreling among themselves.

Princ.i.p.al Yu smiled as he watched from the side. He felt extremely delighted.

He had been a princ.i.p.al for many years. Talents did appear in his school before, but this was the first time the top universities in the country had come to s.n.a.t.c.h a student.

Fan Weiming squatted at a corner. He was astounded.

These admission teachers came from all the top universities in the country. Yet, they were quarreling over a student.

Was w.a.n.g Teng’s potential so huge?

…

“Cough, cough,” w.a.n.g Teng coughed awkwardly. He said, “Teachers, stop quarreling. I have some questions to ask.”

“Go ahead.”

The five teachers replied almost simultaneously.

…

w.a.n.g Teng felt a little scared as five pairs of eyes stared at him. He asked cautiously, “Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhou, I heard that military academies have strong restrictions regarding a student’s freedom?”

The two teachers exchanged glances with each other and nodded. “We are grooming talents for the military, so we are stricter. You need to follow our schedules and our rules. Once you break them, you will be punished. However…”

They didn’t hide this point. They couldn’t hide it forever anyway.

But, there was a turning point.

“However, freedom is relative. It’s just like the financial freedom we always talk about. With money, you can have financial freedom. Similarly, with power, you can have freedom too. In the martial arts era, you will get a certain amount of freedom no matter where you go as long as you have the ability.

“Rules are always used to restrain the weak. If you are strong enough, you will be able to break the rules of the military academies!

“The past talented students were all like this. It all depends if you have the ability or not.”

“Teacher, you are just spurring me on!” w.a.n.g Teng smiled bitterly.

A sly smile appeared on Mr. Qin’s face. However, he didn’t reply to w.a.n.g Teng.

w.a.n.g Teng looked at the other three teachers from non-military academies. He said sincerely, “Thank you for having high hopes for me. However, I think that I’ve already made my decision.”

The three teachers smiled forcefully. “You’re not going to reconsider?”

w.a.n.g Teng shook his head. The three teachers stopped speaking.

Everyone had their own path. They had to make their own decisions and choose how they wanted to walk.

w.a.n.g Teng stood up and said to the teachers from Capital Military Academy and Huanghai Military Academy, “Teachers, I will go and fill in my application now.”

Then, he walked out of the princ.i.p.al’s office.

At first, Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhou were elated. But, when they saw w.a.n.g Teng keeping them in suspense, they were caught between laughter and tears.

They felt extremely agitated.

It was as though a cat was tickling their hearts. They didn’t know which school w.a.n.g Teng would choose.

Princ.i.p.al Yu looked at Fan Weiming. Fan Weiming quickly followed w.a.n.g Teng out of the office.

w.a.n.g Teng was the treasure of Donghai No. 1 High School now. Although he could choose the school he wanted personally, it was still better to have someone supervising his application process in case some mistakes or accidents happened.

…

w.a.n.g Teng filled in his application form under the supervision of Fan Weiming. Then, he went back to cla.s.s.

“w.a.n.g Teng, which university did you apply for?” Lin Chuhan couldn’t help but whisper to w.a.n.g Teng when she saw him sitting down beside her.

“Oh, are you not angry at me anymore?” w.a.n.g Teng teased her.

“Are you going to tell me?” Lin Chuhan glared at him.

“Alright, alright. I’ll tell you. I applied for Huanghai Military Academy,” w.a.n.g Teng said helplessly.

You shouldn’t provoke a woman!

“Huanghai Military Academy!” Lin Chuhan was shocked. She didn’t expect w.a.n.g Teng to apply for a military academy.

Yang Jian, who was in front of them, turned around. “w.a.n.g Teng, you applied for a military academy? I thought that you would go to The First University.”

“Whether it’s The First University or Huanghai Military Academy, their quality of resources and teachers are around the same. Entering the military academy is the path most suitable for me,” w.a.n.g Teng replied.

“Sigh, why do I think that you’re boasting when I hear this?” Yang Jian sighed.

“Get out!” w.a.n.g Teng laughed and scolded him. Then, he asked, “Which university did you apply for?”

“Donghai Normal University,” Yang Jian replied. “I don’t want to go overseas. With my results, this is the only university I can choose.”

w.a.n.g Teng nodded. He noticed that Lin Chuhan’s application form was still empty, so he asked, “Lin Chuhan, what about you? Which university do you plan to apply for?”

Lin Chuhan frowned and hesitated before she said, “I want to apply for Donghai University.”

“Donghai University!” w.a.n.g Teng looked at her and asked, “I remember that the cut-off point for Donghai University’s actual combat a.s.sessment is 85. Didn’t you get 80? Also, you need to be an advanced stage martial disciple.”

“Did you read the criteria properly? There’s the lowest intake requirement at the end.” Lin Chuhan said, “As long as all your general papers are above 135 and your actual combat a.s.sessment is above 80, they might admit you on a case-by-case basis, even if you’re an intermediate stage martial disciple.

“However, it’s still a little dangerous. That’s why I plan to put Donghai Technology University as my second choice. Even if I can’t get into Donghai University, I will be able to get into the Technology University without any issues.”

“Won’t you regret it? Actually, with your results, if you took the normal university entrance exam, you could have entered Donghai University easily,” w.a.n.g Teng said.

“What’s there to regret? You know my family’s condition. What’s the use of saying all these?” Lin Chuhan replied.

“Alright, it’s good that you’re applying for Donghai’s universities. At least we’re all in Donghai,” w.a.n.g Teng said.

“Yes.”

Lin Chuhan nodded. However, there was a hint of sorrow in her heart.

Departures were always sad.

“Young Master w.a.n.g, after you graduate from the military academy and become a boss, you mustn’t forget your old cla.s.smates!” Yang Jian smiled and said.

“Alright, Boss w.a.n.g Teng will take care of you!” w.a.n.g Teng smiled.

…

Outside the cla.s.sroom, the headteachers of all the year three cla.s.ses were gathered there. They were casually talking about this year’s university entrance exam results.

Without a doubt, cla.s.s eight was the biggest winner in this university entrance exam.

The top scholar of the martial arts exam came from their cla.s.s, and five other students had managed to get into the martial arts course of other universities.

Mind you, based on their prediction, they felt that only the five advanced stage martial disciples in Donghai No. 1 High School had chances of getting into the martial arts course.

Now, the number of students from cla.s.s eight who got into the martial arts course had already exceeded their prediction.

No gifted martial disciples had appeared in the other cla.s.ses, but on average, there were two to three students from each cla.s.s who managed to get into the course. The cla.s.ses where the advanced stage martial disciples were in were higher on the list.

However, one of the headteachers was frustrated.

“Li Rongcheng didn’t pa.s.s this year. He will be repeating his year,” he said.

“Li Rongcheng? Isn’t he an advanced stage martial disciple? How did he fail?” The other teachers were shocked.

“Who knows? I heard that an accident happened during the actual combat a.s.sessment, but no one told me the details.” Li Rongcheng’s headteacher shook his head.

“What a pity,” the other teachers expressed their sympathy.

…

Fan Weiming managed to gain some admiration from the other teachers. He returned to his cla.s.s extremely proudly.

He stood on the podium and looked at the students below him. Suddenly, he felt a little emotional.

He was sending another batch off again!

Three years was like a cycle!

These children were finally flying to their different worlds. He could only accompany them up to here. He would not be partic.i.p.ating in their future endeavors.

He might only hear news about them many years later…
