C586 Joining the East District
"Very good."
"From today onwards, you are all my students in West Campus. You must strictly demand of yourself in the future." West Campus Elder Wu Zhiqiang's tone carried a trace of satisfaction. He slightly raised his chin, and his gaze fell onto the last few figures. He smiled and asked: "You guys have yet to make a decision, what other thoughts do you have?"
"It is still unclear about the situation in the two academies, so it is difficult to choose between them?"
"From all the newcomers that have joined the Dagan Academic Palace, eighty percent of them would choose to join the West Campus. You should make the right decision."
Even though Director Dong was right next to him, Wu Zhiqiang continued to speak indifferently. This was not like not giving the East Branch any face, because that was the truth.
As his voice faded, almost everyone's eyes fell on the few remaining figures in the hall. Including Lu Chen, Lu Qiaoer, and Yao Jie, none of them had made a decision yet.
"Elders, may I ask, do the two academies have any different rules?" Lu Chen suddenly spoke after a moment of silence.
"Rules?"
"My West Campus's requirements are relatively strict. All students who join must follow teacher's guidance and train in a more suitable cultivation technique."
"As for the other aspects, there are no limitations."
West Campus Elder Wu Zhiqiang frowned, and said slowly.
"Young man, our East Branch does not need to force our students to change their training methods. Furthermore, we pay more attention to individual efforts in training. We will not interfere much."
Principal Zhou Cang, who was sitting next to Wu Zhiqiang, looked Liu Tie up and down, and then immediately said. Compared to West Campus, the East Branch was more relaxed towards the management of students, and it was mainly due to their own hard work, so they did not intervene too much. "
"In that case, I'll join the East Branch."
Lu Chen said in a deep voice after hesitating for a moment under the attention of everyone.
"Hmm?"
"You should be Lu Chen, right?"
"I heard that you used your innate Martial Master Stage to defeat an opponent at the Sixth Heavenly Layer who was a Grandmaster in the Martial Dao. It would be a pity if you joined the East Branch with that level of talent. Why don't you join my West Campus?"
Hearing this, West Campus Elder Wu Zhiqiang said in an unquestionable tone. Ever since Lu Chen entered the great hall, his gaze had been sizing up the latter, whether intentionally or unintentionally. It was obvious that he knew about Lu Chen's matter in advance.
"I thank West Campus Elder for his kind intentions, but I still want to join the East Branch."
Lu Chen shook his head and insisted on his decision.
"Principal Zhou, your East Branch's luck isn't bad. To think that a dignified Hundred Sects Meeting's champion would actually choose to join your side." Wu Zhiqiang merely glanced coldly at Lu Chen when he saw this. He immediately spoke in a sinister manner to Zhou Cang.
"Are you sure you want to join our East District?"
"You must know that with your innate talent, going to the West Campus is perhaps better." All these years, this was the first time that a champion of Hundred Sects Meeting had taken the initiative to join their East Branch. Compared to the West Campus, these years, there was indeed a huge gap. Regardless of whether it was the resources or the rate at which students were increasing, there was always a gap. Normal new students rarely took the initiative to join the East Branch.
In the past, good seedlings would always be snatched away by the West Campus, and it was rare for a good seedling to be able to join the East Branch. Originally, Zhou Cang had already thought that he could take the two newbies back to the East District as if they were looking for an opportunity to strike up a fight. After all, every time, West Campus would first pick a person, and only after selecting the ones that he didn't really like would be left for them.
"It doesn't matter."
"I think the East District is more suitable for me."
Lu Chen nodded.
"Alright."
"Since you have the heart to do so, then after you join the East Branch, we will do our best to nurture you." Principal Dong, Zhou Cang's face was full of satisfaction as he said in a deep voice.
"What about you two?"0
"Do you also want to join the East Branch?" Wu Zhiqiang frowned and asked as his gaze fell on Yao Jie and Lu Qiaoer.
"I will also join the East District." Lu Qiaoer lightly muttered to herself in a soft voice.
"Heh heh."
"My old man told me to join the East District, so I'll join you guys." Yao Jie spread his hands and said with a grin.
"Hmm?"
Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He did not expect Lu Qiaoer and Yao Jie to join the East District like him.
Seeing this, Wu Zhiqiang's figure, which was hidden within the green light ball, became slightly distorted. He did not expect that, other than Lu Chen, the champion of Hundred Sects Meeting, Lu Qiaoer and Liu Tie would also join the East Branch. According to the information he had obtained, the aptitude of the two of them was only slightly worse than Jiang Zichu.
"I hope you won't regret your decision today." Wu Zhiqiang shot a glance at the trio, and then looked at Jiang Zichu and the rest, saying in a deep voice: "West Campus people, follow me."
Just as he finished his sentence, a dazzling golden light extended from his feet and enveloped Jiang Zichu and the others. In the next second, light flashed and the blurry figures sitting beside him all disappeared.
The previously solemn great hall instantly became quiet. The only people left were Dean Zhou Cang, who was sitting high up in the air, and a few figures, who were hidden in the light. They were all teachers of the East Branch.
"I had originally thought that it would be pretty good if one or two people could join our East Branch, but who would have thought that the top three geniuses of Hundred Sects Meeting would take the initiative to join the East Branch."
"You three little fellows have slightly exceeded my expectations."
Principal Zhou Cang was very happy. He looked at Lu Chen and the rest with a satisfied expression. He paused for a moment and continued in a deep voice, "Since you've made your decision, you'll be students of the East Branch from now on."
"From today onwards, you have to work harder. There are countless geniuses stronger than you in the Dagan Academic Palace."
Seeing Lu Chen and the other two nod their heads, Zhou Cang smiled slightly. His gaze landed on a figure below and said with a smile, "Teacher Yu, bring the three of them to complete the relevant procedures."
"By the way, let's familiarize them with the area of the East District."
"Understood."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a figure emerged from the light. He seemed to be in his early thirties, clad in a spotless white robe, with his long black hair hanging down to his shoulders. Although he was a bit wild, his features were handsome and upright, and there was a tinge of righteousness in his expression.
"The three of you, come with me." Teacher Yu waved at Lu Chen and the other two.
Hearing that, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment before following behind Teacher Yu. Lu Qiaoer and Wu Tie also slowly followed along as they left the hall together.
"I'm finally out."
"It's so stuffy inside." The moment they left the main hall, Yao Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath as a relaxed expression appeared on his face.
