Apocalypse Of All Races

Chapter 19: Luring The Snake Out Of The Cave (2)

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Although Nanyuan City isn’t large, the strength of its city guards isn’t weak either. Now, everyone wants to head to the Great Xia Prefecture for their future, but the distance between Nanyuan and Grand Xia is more than 1,000 miles. It’s really far away from home. Why don’t you all try joining the city guards that are just under your eyelids?

“Currently the city guard captain, Zhang Qianfu, is also an expert at the ninth level of the Ten-Thousand Stone Realm. He regards the reserved forces of the city guards very highly and will personally guide new guards very often, taking extra care of the good seedlings. The city lord also places the city guards in high regard…”

“…”

After hearing this, other than a few people, the majority of the students here understood that this teacher was here to persuade them.

Everyone didn’t mind. It was fine as long as they got used to it.

Since they were close to graduation, all locations wanted to expand their forces. Although Nanyuan City wasn’t large, the city lord also wanted to mold the city guards into elites.

‘The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first.’ Every year, there would indeed be quite a lot of people from Nanyuan City choosing to join the city guards.

Even if students of Nanyuan Mid-grade Academy couldn’t join a war academy, those at the third level of Origin Opening Realm were considered students with not-too-bad talents. After some nurturing, reaching the Ten-Thousand Stone Realm wasn’t something hopeless for them.

“Everyone, think about it carefully. Don’t be in a hurry to make your decision…”

The female teacher ignored the whispers below. After she finished speaking, she allowed everyone to freely discuss as she walked in Su Yu’s direction.

However, she wasn’t here for Su Yu but Chen Hao instead.

“Chen Hao, you are at the third level of Origin Opening. Although you have some hope of joining a war academy, the chance is very small. If you fail the examination, why don’t you consider joining the city guard army? Your father is also working in Nanyuan, and new soldiers of the city guard army can return home three days per month. This is a very good opportunity…”

Chen Hao looked like he wanted to cry. (Why must you say this? I’m sure I can get into a war academy.)

......

(I don’t want to join the city guards!)

(Why don’t you persuade Su Yu to join instead?)

(Are you looking down on me?)

When the female teacher saw his expression, she couldn’t help but smile. “Why? Are you looking down on the city guards?”

“No…I just wish to try and will think about the city guards if I fail to join a war academy.”

Chen Hao was incomparably sad. If he really failed to get into a war academy, he would then consider this.

The female teacher didn’t mind. She then looked at Su Yu and smiled. “Su Yu, you are a seedling of the civilization academies. Teacher Liu has spoken to me. I shouldn’t persuade you, but I will still say that if you really don’t want to join a civilization academy, you can actually consider this.

“The city lord is paying more and more attention to the city guards. You are a good seedling, so if you join the city guards, they won’t make you do miscellaneous tasks. The city has a secret department, and you will then be able to intern there. This is also considered a rare opportunity.”

Su Yu pondered. “Will there be many chances for the city guards to head to the Allskies Battlefield?”

“Very little.”

The teacher thought that Su Yu was worried, hence, she hurriedly replied.

Su Yu nodded and smiled. “I understand. Thank you, teacher. I will consider it.”

Saying that he would consider it meant he was rejecting it. (What a joke, I will never join the city guards.)

If it was in the past, things might be hard to say.

If his father was at home and if the Nanyuan City really offered very good conditions, he might stay in Nanyuan.

He knew of the secret department, a relatively important organization in Nanyuan. That place was very safe, and the people working there were treated very well as well.

But since his father had run off, why would he still stay in Nanyuan?

Moreover, could staying in Nanyuan allow him to get the essence blood he needed?

When he thought about essence blood, Su Yu suddenly recalled a problem. He suddenly spoke, “Teacher, do you think war academies have more essence blood or civilization academies?”

The female teacher started, but she soon replied, “Naturally, war academies…”

“I mean the number of types. As research organizations, wouldn’t the types of essence blood that civilization academies own be more comprehensive compared to the war academies?”

“This…I think so?”

The teacher didn’t dare to confirm as she wasn’t too sure. However, she still added, “With regards to the types of blood essence, the civilization academies should have more. At the very least, they have more samples compared to war academies. Portions of essence blood obtained from the Allskies Battlefield that can’t be used will be sent to the civilization academies to become experiment samples. However, the war academies should have more ‘usable’ essence blood. For example, essence blood that can aid one’s cultivation. The amount they have will surely be a staggeringly high one.”

Su Yu nodded. He had thought of these before but couldn’t be sure. Now that the teacher was saying this, his confidence grew greater.

Quantity was important, but having more types was even more important to him.

If there weren’t many types of blood essence, how could he continue opening up pages?

If he didn’t understand the language, he also wouldn’t be able to understand the activation instructions. Could it be that he had to ask others what the words meant?

“It seems like…I better apply for civilization academies!”

Su Yu pondered. Someone then shouted from outside, “Su Yu, make a trip to the teachers’ building. Teacher Liu is looking for you.”

“Understood!”

Su Yu replied. He greeted the teachers and then swiftly ran toward the teachers’ building.

…

When he arrived, Su Yu wasn’t the only one there.

Su Yu saw a few familiar faces, but he wasn’t too close to them. He merely roughly knew their names.

There were geniuses at the fourth level of the Origin Opening Realm and also geniuses who had grasped many all-races languages.

Liu Yue was among them.

Moreover, Liu Wenyan wasn’t the only teacher here; the academy head was present as well. Other than them, Su Yu could also see a few other teachers who were at the ninth level of the Thousand Pound Realm. Their strength could be considered at peak level in the Nanyuan Mid-grade Academy.

After Su Yu arrived, a few more students came after one another.

Seven to eight minutes passed and everyone finally gathered. The academy head smiled. “The 25 of you are the hope of our Nanyuan Mid-grade Academy this year. Most of you will be going to either civilization academies or war academies. As for the scientific research academies, like always, only a few people from our school will join them.”

The academy head was a courageous warrior, while Liu Wenyan was a cultured man. But at this moment, this cultured man suddenly interrupted, “Stop talking so much nonsense and go straight to the main point. We have no time to waste!”

The academy head felt embarrassed. (This old thing, can’t he see that the students are around?)

(He’s going overboard with the bullying. I really want to break this old thing’s legs.)

The other teachers were snickering secretly. But when the academy head shot a glare at them, all of them instantly fell silent.
