Chapter 42 - High

“Hey, I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. I was also possessed for a moment and did that to you.” Li Mei’er looked at Lu Yan and said apologetically.

Because she was Li Moqing’s relative, Li Mei’er was very familiar with the Golden Corner Academy. She wanted to help the new students tour the school and earn some money.

In order to increase the success rate, Li Mei’er used her charm. She did not expect to encounter Lu Yan and Li Moqing as soon as she started.

Lu Yan waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. Just pay attention in the future.”

After all, she was Li Moqing’s niece and he still had to give her face.

Li Mei’er heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Yan. “My name is Li Mei’er. It’s nice to meet you. I’m very familiar with the Golden Corner Academy. If you need anything, you can ask me anytime.”

Lu Yan nodded. “My name is Lu Yan. I’ll look for you if I need you in the future.”

After some small talk, Lu Yan prepared to report.

Unexpectedly, Li Mei’er’s expression changed several times when she heard Lu Yan’s name.

She was stunned for a moment before revealing a happy expression. Then, she thought of something and her smile dimmed.

Lu Yan had already passed Li Mei’er and did not notice the change in her expression.

After entering the place where the new students reported, Lu Yan saw a few senior sisters chatting.

Seeing Lu Yan enter, the few of them stopped talking and their gazes landed on Lu Yan.

“Student, you’re here to report, right? Just give us the admission notice.”

One of the seniors looked at Lu Yan with a smile.

Lu Yan nodded and handed over the admission notice.

“Lu Yan? Why does this name sound so familiar?”

“The provincial champion! The provincial champion of our Suhang Province! I knew it. He looked somewhat familiar just now.”

“His figure is much better than in the university entrance examination video. He looks even more handsome.”

When the female seniors saw Lu Yan’s admission notice, they chattered excitedly and stole a few glances at Lu Yan from time to time.

After the video and fingerprints verified Lu Yan’s information, Lu Yan’s student card was quickly produced.

“Name: Lu Yan, Profession: Necromancer, New Student Number 3.”

Looking at the information displayed on the computer, the female seniors were stunned.

“New Student Number 3? How could this be?”

“That’s right. I thought it would be at least 2.”

“Is it because of the necromancer? It feels a little unfair.”

“Aiya, in any case, the order will be rearranged later. Moreover, Number 3 is already very good.”

Hearing the discussion of the senior sisters, Lu Yan frowned and said, “Senior sisters, what does New Student Number 3 mean?”

Listening to their discussion, this number should have a special meaning.

A senior looked at Lu Yan and said, “Oh, it’s like this. The student number of the Golden Corner Academy represents one’s ranking in this batch.”

“The school’s resources are tilted to a large extent according to the student number.”

“We thought you would be number 1. We didn’t expect it to be number 3.”

Lu Yan nodded. “I see.”

Lu Yan did not care much about the fact that he was number 3, nor was he unhappy.

After all, he was not the only provincial champion recruited by the Golden Corner Academy. The new students’ numbers were initially ranked by the school leaders according to their performance in the university entrance examination.

Li Moqing had already told him that after the ordinary students arrived, there would be a new student test. At that time, this number should be rearranged.

After registering the student card, a senior sister brought Lu Yan to the dormitory.

Along the way, this senior told Lu Yan some basic information.

“Junior Lu Yan, the dormitories for the top 10 students of our Golden Corner Academy are different from ordinary dormitories. I’ll explain to you when we arrive.

“In addition, credits are more important than money in the Golden Corner Academy. After all, the items in the school’s treasure vault can only be exchanged with credits.”

“Oh right, school credits can be exchanged for energy coins, but energy coins can’t be exchanged for credits. However, I don’t recommend Junior Lu Yan to use his points to exchange for energy coins. That’s not worth it.”

…

As she spoke, this senior brought Lu Yan to a huge artificial lake.

The artificial lake was surrounded by green plants and looked very beautiful. In the middle of the lake was a small mountain.

The small mountain was not very high. One could vaguely see the top of the mountain.

On the small mountain, Lu Yan saw a few houses.

The senior pointed at the small mountain path in front of her and said, “Junior Lu Yan, that’s the residence of the top ten students of the Golden Corner Academy.

“There are a total of four such small mountains in the school. They correspond to the first, second, third, and fourth level of the university. The top ten students of each level can stay here.

“Do you see the white fog on that small mountain? That’s a spirit gathering formation created by the school’s high level array masters. Living inside can effectively increase one’s physique and comprehension. I heard that many students comprehended new skills because of it.

“The ten houses are located in an orderly manner. The effect of the spirit gathering formation from bottom to top is also different. The effect of the spirit gathering formation on the house at the top of the mountain is the best. It’s more than double the effect of the one at the bottom.

“According to the order, your dormitory is the third house on the mountain peak.”

The senior looked at Lu Yan and said with envy.

Only the top ten students and special teachers of the various schools could use a spirit gathering formation of this level. Not only did it represent honor, but it also had practical benefits.

A strange expression also flashed in Lu Yan’s eyes. He did not expect the top ten students of the various school levels to receive such special treatment.

Presumably, this was also a way for the Golden Corner Academy to encourage students to compete.

Only intense competition could produce stronger students.

“Junior Lu Yan, the area ahead is not an area I can enter. You can go yourself. You can enter with your student card.”

“By the way, at ten in the morning tomorrow, you specially recruited students who came first have to gather at the Northwest Field. Don’t forget, don’t be late.”

After instructing Lu Yan, this senior directly turned around and left.

Seeing this, Lu Yan directly walked towards the artificial lake in front of him.

The artificial lake and the small mountain in the middle were connected by four roads. There were four long wooden corridors. In the middle of the long corridor was a small pavilion that could rest and admire the scenery.

He entered the small mountain along the wooden corridor and saw a door at the end.

He placed the student card on the verification card and Lu Yan’s information was quickly revealed. Then, the door in front of him opened directly.

The moment Lu Yan stepped onto the small mountain, he felt a refreshing aura lingering beside him.

It should be the effect of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

The Spirit Gathering Formation not only included several houses, but the surrounding area as well. The area around where each house was located had the effect of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Lu Yan walked up and arrived in front of the house with the number 3.

The aura here was even richer, making Lu Yan feel refreshed. He felt as if his thoughts had become several times faster.

At this moment, a voice sounded in Lu Yan’s mind.

Ding… detected that the host is in a high-grade spirit gathering formation and has comprehended the skill, Undead Twin. Host, please investigate.
