Reaching the Fourth Realm after only three Login into the Dimensional Realms? The moment the news broke, the Great Xia Higher Martial Academy could not sit still.
For years, they had been overshadowed by the Magic Capital Academy.
They had struggled to keep up.
Now, upon discovering such a prodigy, they had set out overnight without hesitation.
They had even maneuvered to obstruct the Magic Capital Academy's attempts to reach Jiang Chen first.
"The Great Xia Higher Martial Academy?"
"Yes, indeed!"
"Xiao Chen!"
Yang Lihua was momentarily taken aback before joy flashed across her face. She turned back and called into the house.
''Creak!''
The door opened, and Jiang Chen emerged just as his mother's voice rang out.
"Greetings."
Jiang Chen appeared slightly surprised but maintained his composure and greeted them with courtesy.
"Jiang Chen, a pleasure to meet you!" Tang Junkai eagerly extended his hand for a handshake.
"Please, come inside."
"No need to stand outside."
Yang Lihua quickly gestured for them to enter with a warm smile.
"Apologies for the intrusion!" Tang Junkai responded with a light laugh as he stepped inside.
Gathered in the living room, everyone took a seat.
Yang Lihua served tea.
"Jiang Chen, you likely already understand the purpose of our visit."
"To be direct, DaXia (Great Xia) Higher Education Institute would like to offer you a place as an exceptional martial arts scholar. Given your current circumstances, we can also provide you with a residence of no less than 200 square meters within the academy grounds. Additionally, upon enrollment, you will receive 10,000 Star Coins, exclusive access to high-level cultivation chambers, and at least one guaranteed training opportunity each year. Furthermore, regarding the second Dimension(s) Descend, you should know that if you secure access to a Sixth Tier high-level realm more than twice, DaXia Academy will grant you an additional entry opportunity."
"What do you think?"
Tang Junkai looked at Jiang Chen, took a deep breath, and laid out the conditions they were offering.
There was no time to waste. Even though they had obstructed Magic Capital Academy, it wouldn't be long before their representatives arrived. To avoid any unexpected developments, they needed to finalize matters quickly.
After speaking, Tang Junkai anxiously watched Jiang Chen, waiting for his response.
Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
With his current strength, attending the academy wasn't particularly necessary.
After all, even without awakening the full power of the Super Saiyan God, his abilities were already formidable.
However, the conditions Tang Junkai mentioned were indeed tempting.
A house within DaXia Higher Education Institute, 10,000 Star Coins.
These alone were incredibly valuable.
And then there was the opportunity to access a world beyond the sixth tier.
A Sixth Tier world and above didn't necessarily stop at seventh-tier; there was a chance it could lead to an eighth or even ninth-tier world.
Jiang Chen pondered, while Tang Junkai grew more anxious.
Yang Lihua held her breath, wanting to speak but ultimately refraining. She didn't want to interfere in her son's decision.
"How about this— add one more condition: for realms above the Sixth Tier, regardless of whether I obtain one, two, or none, I must have at least one entry opportunity. Additionally, for other high-tier realms, I should be given priority access."
Jiang Chen spoke after a moment of consideration.
He could overlook other benefits, but access to these realms was crucial.
Joining DaXia Higher Education Institute for this reason wasn't a problem.
"This…"
"Priority access isn't an issue, but if DaXia Academy itself doesn't secure access, it will be difficult to guarantee."
Tang Junkai hesitated upon hearing Jiang Chen's request.
The other conditions were manageable, but this one was uncertain.
"You can think it over."
"Also, my strength should not be classified as Fourth Tier— I should be considered Fifth Tier." Jiang Chen stated calmly.
In the next moment, a massive aura erupted.
"Boom!"
Tang Junkai felt a shockwave ripple through his body, nearly knocking him off his feet.
"What?!"
At that moment, he didn't even care about maintaining composure— his eyes widened in pure shock as he stared at Jiang Chen.
The other four figures in the room also wore stunned expressions.
As they reeled from the revelation, Jiang Chen withdrew his aura.
Even with the energy suppressed, Tang Junkai and the others were still reeling in disbelief.
"Gulp!"
"You…"
Tang Junkai couldn't help but swallow hard, his voice shaking slightly.
"You can take your time to think it over."
"Come back when you've made a decision."
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Whoa!"
"Jiang Chen, you misunderstand— we don't need to think it over. Let's agree to your terms immediately!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Tang Junkai quickly responded.
What a joke.
Fifth Tier?
That was Fifth Tier!
And Jiang Chen had only finished his Three Logins— just three times.
Yet he had already reached Fifth Tier strength.
At this point, it wasn't a question of whether he could reach Sixth Tier—it was a certainty. And not just any Sixth Tier, but one likely to reach its peak.
During this second Dimension(s) Descend, Jiang Chen could push himself even further beyond Sixth Tier.
Facing such a prodigious warrior, let alone these terms, even if Jiang Chen's demands were tenfold, DaXia Academy would be willing to comply.
"Can you make this decision?" Jiang Chen looked at Tang Junkai in mild surprise.
"Jiang Chen, I can."
"If you have no other concerns, we can finalize the agreement immediately."
Tang Junkai quickly assured him.
"Alright!"
"Then it's settled."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, not raising any further requests.
…
"Alright!"
"Jiang Chen, the agreement has been sealed."
"Are you ready to journey with us to the Imperial Capital now, or...?"
As Jiang Chen finished inscribing his name, Tang Junkai let out a subtle breath, then smiled as he spoke.
"Maybe in a month! I promised the City Lord to defend Shaoxin Base City during this time." Hearing Tang Junkai's words, Jiang Chen paused briefly before answering.
"A month?"
"Very well, I understand."
"I will personally return to escort you in a month's time!"
"Rest assured, Shaoxin Base City won't face any dire threats. The capital has already dispatched two Fourth-Tier martial masters, more than enough to repel any Rift Beasts that may descend."
Tang Junkai gave a slight nod, then, as if sensing Jiang Chen's concerns, added further reassurance.
"Understood!"
"Thank you!"
Jiang Chen's expression flickered with appreciation as he nodded in response.
"Then, Jiang Chen, we won't take up more of your time. We shall meet again in a month!"
Tang Junkai offered a parting smile, rising to his feet.
The warriors flanking him also stood up.
"Master Tang, please stay for a meal! My husband has already begun preparations." Yang Lihua hurriedly rose, her voice carrying a hint of eagerness.
"You honor us with your kindness. However, pressing matters still require our attention. I shall take you up on your offer another time." Tang Junkai's smile was warm, yet apologetic.
"This..."
Hearing his response, Yang Lihua hesitated, instinctively glancing at her son.
"Mother, Master Tang and his companions likely have urgent business. Let's not delay them." Jiang Chen, having sensed the courtesy in Tang Junkai's words, gently reassured his mother.
"Very well, then!"
"Xiao Chen, escort the masters to the gate."
Though slightly disappointed, Yang Lihua nodded and instructed her son.
Jiang Chen gave a small nod before rising and leading Tang Junkai and the others outside.
"Jiang Chen, we shall return in a month!" Tang Junkai turned back, giving him a knowing smile.
"Alright! See you in a month!" Jiang Chen nodded in acknowledgment.
He watched as Tang Junkai and the others departed before returning to the house.
At that moment, his mother, Yang Lihua, remained in a daze of excitement.
Her son being chosen as a special entrant into the Imperial Martial Academy—it was almost beyond belief.
"Xiao Chen, just now..."
Even after some time, Yang Lihua still found it hard to believe, her voice trembling as she looked at Jiang Chen.
