Chapter 126: Provoking Envy, Just Kidding!-Mass Job Change: My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells with a Ten Thousand Times Boost(By the banks of the Ruoshui River, the wine cups drift along the gentle current.)

At this moment, Lin Han felt a bit hesitant. He was aware of Changqi Academy; even in Huiyue City, it had only admitted one first-level student, whereas other academies had enrolled many more. This indicated that Changqi Academy had very high admission standards. Moreover, Senior Feihua had come from Changqi Academy, which suggested that the quality of education there was excellent. Yet, at this moment, Lin Han had a new thought...

Seeing Lin Han remain silent, Qu Fengyun asked, “Lin, do you still have any reservations?”

Lin Han replied, “Director Qu, as you know, I am a priest, so the Source of Calamity is essential to me. Now that I have reached the third stage, if I want to break through to the fourth, I will need three Sources of Calamity. This is quite a burden for me, so I hope the academy can support me.”

“Lin, that’s asking quite a lot,” Qu Fengyun said gravely. “As a priest, your demand for the Source of Calamity is indeed high, and we understand that. You must also be well aware of how rare these sources are.”

“The Source of Calamity isn’t like cabbages on the street—you can’t just buy them whenever you want. Even if you have the money, it’s all down to luck.”

Lin Han said, “I’m fully aware of that; otherwise, I wouldn’t be asking for the academy’s help.”

At that moment, Sanqian, sitting nearby, said, “Lin Han, join our Jiuyun Academy. We promise to find you a Source of Calamity within four years.”

“If Changqi Academy won’t agree, Jiuyun Academy will. We’re really looking forward to cultivating a fourth-stage priest.”

Originally, Sanqian had assumed Lin Han would choose Changqi Academy, since he knew Lin Han and Jiang were acquaintances, and Jiang came from Changqi. So, they had already given up hope. But Lin Han’s current attitude showed him to be a very rational young man.

Anyone rational would naturally think about what benefits themselves.

This made things very manageable!

Lin Han was somewhat surprised that Jiuyun Academy had so decisively agreed to this condition. Although the Sources of Calamity were rare, they were not impossible to acquire. He also believed that among the five great academies, there must be supreme or even saint-level experts stationed there.

Obtaining one Source of Calamity would not be difficult for them.

The real challenge was merely the news of a calamity.

However, from Sanqian’s demeanor, it seemed the purpose of Jiuyun Academy was quite simple: they wanted to use him to build some reputation for the school.

If the world’s first fourth-stage priest emerged from Jiuyun Academy, that would indeed be an excellent admission prospect.

Without even considering the main combat professions, elites in support roles would definitely tend to choose Jiuyun Academy in the future.

The value of a fourth-stage priest was very high.

Wang Lichang, feeling a bit restless, said, “Lin Han, join our Liyun Academy. We can make the same promise. Just one Source of Calamity—we guarantee we will find one for you within three years.”

“Besides, Liyun Academy places great emphasis on support professions. Many of the strongest support practitioners in the entire Star Dragon Empire come from us.”

“If it’s us, we can fully develop your potential to the limit.”

Li Changge said helplessly, “You guys really know how to spend. You so easily promise a Source of Calamity. What if you can’t deliver? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?”

“Moreover, giving such a rare resource to a priest seems like a loss. It would be of far greater help if given to a promising mage student.”

“Priests consume far too many resources. Our Shenmeng Academy simply can’t do such things. The treatment we give you is the same as any ordinary student’s. If you want to join us, you’re welcome; if not, I won’t pander to you. It’s all up to you.”

Compared to the others, Li Changge was relatively rational. He had no intention of recruiting Lin Han. Although recruiting someone who might become a fourth-stage priest in the future would be a good admission prospect for the academy, he was simply not interested. If he were to devote energy and resources to such a person, he’d rather not accept him at all.

Yunsi smiled and said, “Lin Han, although our Qingyun Academy is very interested in your profession, we are a women’s academy, so we won’t be recruiting you. I’m only here for appearances.”

“You guys continue.”

At this moment, Feihua, smiling warmly, said, “Director Yun, don’t be so decisive. Think about it: this could be a priest who becomes fourth-stage in the future, and my brother is quite handsome too. How about making an exception?”

“Qingyun Academy should become more open. Don’t make your school look like a nunnery—how boring.”

“Jiang, even though you are already a supreme-level expert, it doesn’t mean you can insult our Qingyun Academy!” Yunsi’s eyes glinted fiercely. “Many supreme-level experts have come from Qingyun, so aren’t you afraid of arousing the wrath of the public?”

“Even if you’re supreme-level, you probably can’t bear this kind of pressure.”

“Besides, we have already been lenient with what you did in Qingyun Academy back then. I hope you remember the brief training Qingyun gave you.”

Hearing Yunsi’s words, Feihua suddenly laughed and said, “Director Yun, don’t take it so seriously. I was just joking. You really don’t know how to take a joke.”

“Hmph!”

Yunsi snorted coldly and fell silent.

Feihua then turned his gaze to Qu Fengyun and said, “Director Qu, you’re regarded as a venerable senior by everyone. You see, other academies have offered such tempting conditions. Surely Changqi Academy can’t be so stingy. If this gets out, where will our academy’s face be?”

“If I meet someone from other academies in the future, won’t we be looked down upon?”

Suddenly, Feihua’s tone turned sarcastic as he added, “Look at Changqi Academy—they don’t offer anything enticing when recruiting students, yet they still dare to call themselves the number one academy. Seems they really can’t do without Feihua…”

Qu Fengyun’s expression darkened, and he hissed fiercely, “Jiang, do you believe I can tear your mouth apart right now? You should know I’ve already broken through to the supreme realm.”

Feihua immediately became obedient and said with a smile, “Just joking.”
