“Alright, I’ll join the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute,” Su Xing said directly.

“Yes, welcome to join! From today onwards, you’re a member of our research institute!” Ah Li said with a smile.

“Thank you!” After saying that, Su Xing prepared to leave.

“Wait, why do I feel that something is wrong?” Old Tu touched his head and frowned in thought.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Kang asked in confusion.

Although they sometimes competed with each other, they were still united at critical moments.

“This kid is clearly a Tier 2 Mage, but I feel that he’s even stronger than a Tier 2 Mage.”

“Moreover, he seems to have some strange power.”

“Even I’m a little afraid of that force as if I’ve encountered my natural enemy.”

Zhao Kang observed carefully and said with greater certainty.

His words made the expressions of the other three change slightly as they looked at Su Xing with serious gazes.

“What secrets does he have?!” Ah Li muttered. She vaguely guessed something, but she was a little suspicious.

“No matter what, Su Xing is already a student of our Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute. Haha, you didn’t expect this, did you? The three of you still lost to me!” Ah Li said with a smile. Then, she exchanged contact details with Su Xing so that it would be easier to contact each other when school started.

Then, Old Wang and the others left in despair.

“Teacher, when will school start at the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute?” Su Xing asked.

Knowing the approximate start date in advance was also convenient for him to prepare.

“Hmm… you’re a special recruit. If you’re fast, you can probably settle the procedures for school in a few days. I’ll call you for the specifics!” Teacher Ah Li smiled and added, “Right, let me officially introduce myself. My name is He Li, and I’m the teacher in charge of the recruitment office for this special recruitment. You can call me sister if you’re sleepy!”

“Alright, Teacher He Li.”

“Haha, you’re so cute. I look forward to your performance!”

Then, He Li left.

After Su Xing bade farewell to Dean Zhao Kang, he returned home.

He wanted to tell this good news to his aunt’s family. After all, they had nurtured him for so long. This news was undoubtedly very good news to them.

…

“Brother, what’s the matter? Why are you so happy?!” Su Anran asked in confusion when she saw Su Xing.

He would usually not smile so happily.

Even the last time he awakened to a Strategic-level affinity and obtained the title of the Son of the Elements, she had not seen him smile so happily.

It seemed that there was something more important that made him smile so happily.

“Could it be… Brother, are you having a girlfriend?!” Su Anran had a gossipy expression as she jogged over and looked at Su Xing with anticipation.

“What girlfriend?” Su Xing was shocked by Su Anran’s sudden appearance.

“Err… then why are you smiling so happily?”

“I’ve been specially recruited into the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute!”

Hearing this, Aunt hurriedly ran out of the kitchen with a surprised expression, “What? Little Su, say that again?”

“Aunt, I’ve been specially recruited into the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute!” Su Xing looked at his shocked aunt and said happily.

“That’s great!”

“Little Su, when your uncle returns and tells him this news, he’ll definitely be overjoyed!”

“Special recruitment? Is the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute very powerful?” Su Anran did not know why they were so happy.

After all, she was still young and did not know the meaning of the word special recruitment, let alone the status of the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute.

“Of course it’s powerful!”

“The Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute is one of the four great intermediate research institutes in Huaxia! The students who come out of it are all outstanding figures from all walks of life. Moreover, your brother was specially recruited. He’s equivalent to an outstanding figure among outstanding figures!” Aunt patiently explained to Su Anran.

Although she did not understand, Su Anran knew that it was very powerful.

“Wow, then after I awaken my magic next year, I want to be specially recruited into the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute! I want to be as powerful as Brother!” Su Anran said.

“Alright! I’ll wait for you at the research institute!” Su Xing smiled.

“…”

Apart from being happy, Su Xing discovered that there were two more sums of money in his account.

One was 100,000 Huaxia coins, and the other was 500,000 Huaxia coins.

Seeing the message on the account, Su Xing immediately understood.

The 100,000 was from Zhang De. These were the “protection fees” he had paid.

When he thought of this, Su Xing only smiled. This sum of money was enough for him to spend for a long time.

The other reward was the entrance reward of the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute. It was a total of 500,000 coins, and he was exempted from paying tuition fees.

Su Xing liked this very much.

Soon, his uncle got off work and returned home. After knowing this news, he immediately beamed with joy.

“Little Su, you’re really impressive. You actually entered such a famous research institute!” His uncle was very happy and immediately cooked a few hard dishes with his aunt.

Braised ribs, poached chicken, flower tofu, and seven-star fishball soup…

Ever since Su Xing stayed at his aunt’s house, the last time they had such a sumptuous dish was when he awakened his magic.

He did not expect to eat such sumptuous dishes again after a few days.

Su Xing was a little touched. All these years, his aunt and the others had spent a lot of effort raising him, but not only did they not complain, they even continuously encouraged him.

Although the current Su Xing was another “Su Xing” after transmigrating, these memories were deeply engraved in his mind.

He swore that he would treat his aunt’s family well in the future!

He wanted to let them live a better life as soon as possible!

After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted about the future. Su Xing enjoyed his free time because he knew that if he left home and went to the Jiangnan Intermediate Research Institute,

in the future, he would return home very few times.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of these last moments to accompany his family.

…

Before long, Su Xing received a message and an email.

It said that he could report to the research institute tomorrow and settle the admission procedures.

That email was the introduction letter to the academy.

The next morning, Su Xing bid farewell to his family and left.

Before he left, he secretly stuffed a bank card under the pillow in his aunt’s room. There were 100,000 Huaxia coins inside. This was a token of appreciation.

After all, other than this 100,000, he still had the 500,000 distributed by the research institute. Su Xing planned to save this money to buy cultivation potions and other resources.

He arrived at the high-speed train station.

The first thing Su Xing saw was a very special train.

This train was completely red. There were light red patterns on the train as if as long as it accelerated, these runes would be effective.

What was most eye-catching was that there were extremely sharp blades standing on both sides of the train!

The blade was also covered in the same light red patterns as the train!

It looked very strange and mysterious!
