God of Dragon - Chapter 63

He rode a crane all the way to Jiangnan City just to send Li Muyang the university admission notice!

After hearing the news, all the teachers and students at the Hero Platform were shocked.

“What kind of school has Li Muyang been admitted into? Why did they use such an extraordinary way to bring the good news?”

“Isn’t it too overrated? Li Muyang is not even on the Hero List. Well, even Cui Xiaoxin, who ranks first on the Hero List, did not get this type of treatment, did she?”

“It looks like a very amazing school. The appearance and bearing of this person riding the crane are very admirable…”

…

The others could only talk about it in low voices, but Li Muyang, the person involved, still had many doubts in his mind.

He looked at the man with a puzzled expression and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother, for coming from afar to tell me the good news. In my heart, I am very grateful. But may I know which school has accepted me?”

“Starry-Sky Academy.” The man on the crane was dressed in a long white robe embroidered with floating clouds, stood on the Hero Platform and slightly straightened his back. He said this with boundless radiance in his eyes.

Anyone could tell that this academy was his pride and the place that he admired most.

“Starry-Sky Academy?” Li Muyang was even more confused and asked, “I have never heard of such an academy, and I have never applied for such a school. Why would Starry-Sky Academy recruit me?”

“Starry-Sky Academy? What sort of school is this?” Lin Zhengyin asked. He was worried that some unscrupulous schools would try to deceive the students from his school.

After all, nowadays, the general atmosphere of society was not good. Whenever the universities published their lists of successful candidates in August or September, some diploma mills would also issue their admission notice to the students. Sometimes, even those students with lousy grades would receive five or six offers at the same time. But if Starry-Sky Academy was a diploma mill, it did not need to spend so much money to create such an impression. In front of them, there was the elegant and proud white crane and the dynamic man riding a crane. Everyone was sure that even paying 30 or 50 gold coins would not have brought them here.

However, according to Lin Zhengyin’s many years of experience in education, he really had never heard of Starry-Sky Academy.

Countless students had graduated from his school, but no student had ever said that he had been admitted into this Starry-Sky Academy.

Thus, the background of Starry-Sky Academy appeared to be very shady.

For those candidates, the Liberal-arts Exam was a significant turning point in their lives. He or she should choose a school to go to. It was the most important choice for it would affect any student’s future. If they could enter a famous university, they could make friends with outstanding schoolmates, receive a good education and gain a bright and flourishing future.

However, if someone accidentally entered a diploma mill, then a young man would become a wild pheasant, his future ruined.

“Starry-Sky Academy is certainly Starry-Sky Academy in itself.” The man on the crane said with a smile. He could not elaborate on their questions, nor was he willing to. It was Starry-Sky Academy. There is no need to add any fancy label to it, and neither did it need someone to broadcast its glorious history. It was an ancient and eternal existence like the blazing sun and the bright moon, and it would live as long as heaven and earth.

He was gentle and elegant, and his every look and action was appropriate. He spoke in a free flowing style like an immortal who had come down to earth. Perhaps only an immortal could have such a supermundane and refined bearing.

“I mean…” Lin Zhengyin frowned and said, “No one knows about this Starry-Sky Academy. Also, no student in our school has ever entered Starry-Sky Academy.”

“Oh? Maybe it is because they were not outstanding enough.” The man on the crane replied in an extremely calm voice. Still, he smiled gently. However, his words humiliated almost all the teachers and students on the spot. It was like telling the teachers that all the students that they taught before were not excellent enough, so that they could not get into Starry-Sky Academy. And because none of the candidates here were outstanding enough, there was no way for them to know about the existence of Starry-Sky Academy.

However, with that pure smile on his face and his sincere attitude when he uttered those words, none of the people here thought that he was lying.

Even those people whom he had just insulted thought he was telling the truth. Otherwise, how could Starry-Sky Academy have such a distinctive student, who was on the crane.

The man riding the crane was an extremely outstanding character. Standing on the Hero Platform, he, who was slim and graceful, looked like a crane standing among chickens. He was like a god passionately supported by countless believers or an idol pursued and loved by a large number of fans.

If such a person said such words, the students below would not say anything against him, even though they were unhappy.

“Then Li Muyang…” Lin Zhengyin turned to look at Li Muyang, and said with a look of disbelief, “Is he the only one who has been admitted to Starry-Sky Academy?”

“Yes. He is the only one here who has been admitted to Starry-Sky Academy.” The man on the crane looked at Li Muyang with an enthusiasm which upset some of the girls who had taken a fancy to him. In their hearts, they screamed, “Please turn to look at us! Why are you fixing your eyes on a man?!”

“You said that we were not good enough, but why would Starry-Sky Academy accept Li Muyang? He is not even on the Hero List!” Zhang Chen shouted at the top of his voice. What happened today was a series of nightmares. He had just struggled out of a nightmare, but right after that, he entered into another more terrible dream.

Zhang Chen thought fast in his mind. “But isn’t Li Muyang a useless sick person? Isn’t he the Lil Coal? Isn’t he just the ugly Swine?”

“He has always stayed at the bottom of the class and does not even have some basic knowledge. Somehow, he got his good results by chance, but he was kicked out of the school because he cheated in the exam. How could such a loser suddenly become every body’s darling?”

“And as for this bullshit Starry-Sky Academy, all of us have never heard of its name. Beyond that, there is no information about this school on the Hero List. Then some idiot who came here on a crane said that Starry-Sky Academy has accepted Li Muyang! In passing, he put us to shame, saying that we, who were accepted by any other universities, were not excellent enough. The whole thing is not only beyond belief, but also makes no sense!”

“It is a show!”

“They must be putting on an act!”

“Li Muyang must have spent money to hire a theatrical troupe to give this performance. Oh, Li Muyang is poor. Then, it must be Cui Xiaoxin, who hired a theatrical troupe for Li Muyang. They have a good relationship. Last time, Cui Xiaoxin even contradicted Zhao Mingzhu in front of everyone in the class to defend Li Muyang. She arranged all of this, for she feared that others would laugh at Li Muyang if he was not on the list. If this is true, everything makes sense now.”

“Otherwise, how can there be some diploma mill suddenly coming out to recruit Li Muyang?”

As a matter of fact, it was not only Zhang Chen who had this thought, but many students present, had the same thoughts.

When Li Muyang was bullied, they would more or less sympathize with him.

However, when Li Muyang amazed the others with this single brilliant feat and became a person that everyone needed to look up to, they felt a little uncomfortable. They thought resentfully, “How can Li Muyang get a much better result than us? He, who is a good-for-nothing and knows nothing except to eat and sleep. How can such a person become the best student in our school?”

“What a colossal joke!”

“Hero List?” Apparently, the man on the crane was thrown off by Zhang Chen’s question. After pondering for a while, he turned around, looked at the names on the huge red silk behind him, and said with a smile, “I’m sorry. I only know about the Wind-Riding List, the Green-Cloud List and the Starry-Sky List, but I have never heard of the Hero List. Also, people always spread the names of the real heroes on their own initiative. I believe that real heroes will never need to show off their achievements by putting their names on the red silk.”

“…” Upon hearing his words, all the others fell silent.

This buddy’s words were so direct that they found it hard to swallow.

After he said that, Zhang Chen’s face turned purplish red, and even the faces of Lin Zhengyin and Zhao Mingzhu became red because the man had humiliated all of them.
