Chapter 17 - Keeping our feet on the ground while gazing at the stars

  "The rise of one person can lead an entire era."

  Ye Bai set aside thoughts of becoming a Supreme Being; it was still too far off for him.

  Right now, he wasn't even a Warrior, so how could he have the right to consider such matters?

  The realms of combat power are divided as follows: [Warrior - Battle General - Battle King - War God].

  As for whether there is a [Supreme Being] above War God, that question remains unanswered.

  A War God is already the pinnacle of strength that ordinary people can aspire to reach.

  These four realms are not divided by the levels of the Eternal Tower but are defined through [combat power tests]!

  Generally speaking, reaching level 30 in the Eternal Tower gives one the chance to pass the [Warrior Test], become a first-tier Warrior, and enjoy certain subsidies and benefits.

  Some people with weaker combat power at the same level might have to wait until level 40 or 50 to become a first-tier Warrior.

  By common standards, anyone below level 200 is considered a Warrior, ranging from first to ninth tier.

  "The monthly subsidy for a first-tier Warrior is 15,000 yuan, and they can apply for a rent-free apartment of 89 square meters. After living there for three years, they can even purchase it at half the market price!"

  Ye Bai casually flipped through the benefits for Warriors.

  It's undeniable that [Xingfang Corporation] has gone all out in terms of benefits!

  In society, even becoming the weakest Warrior means a fundamental improvement and change in status, entering a new world!

  This is why countless people strive to increase their level in the Eternal Tower and pass the Warrior evaluation.

  "Although the benefits for Warriors are great, becoming one is also very difficult!"

  Ye Bai thought to himself, "Take the college entrance examination as an example; any candidate who reaches level 30 in the Eternal Tower can get into a decent Warrior University!"

  Level 30 is the threshold for a first-tier Warrior and also the admission requirement for many Warrior Universities.

  "And the admission rate for Warrior Universities is less than 10%!"

  Out of millions of candidates, at most a million can become Warriors!

  And that's just the weakest first-tier Warrior. The higher you go, the harder it is to improve your strength, and the more people get eliminated!

  At this moment, the homeroom teacher on stage was also talking about this,

  "In the next 100 days, everyone should try to increase their level as much as possible, striving to reach level 30 before the college entrance exam and get into a Warrior University!"

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  "According to big data analysis, the latest scientific research shows that the first 100 days are the fastest period for leveling up!

  If you can't reach level 30 during this time, you'll only have a 0.2% chance of breaking through level 30 in the future. Students, make sure to seize this opportunity!"

  The homeroom teacher said this with a somewhat somber expression.

  He himself was stuck at level 29 in the Eternal Tower, unable to break through to level 30, and failed the college entrance exam back then.

  For so many years, he had been stuck there, unable to progress.

  He cleared his throat and said,

  "Class dismissed. Jiang Yun, Liu Xueqi, please stay behind."

  The students in the classroom scattered, eager to leave.

  They couldn't wait to enter the Eternal Tower again, embark on a new journey, and seize the opportunity to change their fate.

  The two who were left behind received completely different treatment.

  When the classmates looked at Jiang Yun, most of them had envious eyes, mixed with a little jealousy.

  With an A Rank Talent and having cleared an S Rank beginner dungeon, reaching level 30 for Jiang Yun was as easy as eating and drinking, and his future was immeasurable!

  Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, the world would be wide open for him.

  Jiang Yun was unfazed by these looks, his slightly defiant face showing no emotion.

  They were no longer people from the same world, so there was nothing to say.

  When the classmates looked at Liu Xueqi, their gazes changed again.

  Pity, sympathy, schadenfreude... and even mockery.

  Admiration for the strong and disdain for the weak, many people had this mindset.

  However, compared to Jiang Yun, Liu Xueqi was even more indifferent!

  This indifference came from absolute confidence!

  With an S Rank Talent and a profession that perfectly matched her talent, Liu Xueqi's potential exceeded everyone's imagination!

  The ceiling that Jiang Yun could only touch after a lifetime of effort was merely Liu Xueqi's starting point!

  After leaving the two behind, the homeroom teacher first looked at Jiang Yun, offering a few words of encouragement and advising him to stay humble and not get carried away.

  Jiang Yun appeared to nod seriously, but in reality, he was yawning internally, completely dismissive.

  He was destined to become a Battle King, so what right did someone who wasn't even a Warrior have to lecture him?

  The homeroom teacher, having eaten decades more rice than Jiang Yun, saw through this little act at a glance but chose not to expose it.

  He then turned to Liu Xueqi, offering a few comforting words and advising her to focus more on auxiliary and life professions.

  "An F Rank Talent is not the end of the world; life must go on."

  At this point, the homeroom teacher showed a bit of genuine emotion, sighing,

  "Don't laugh at me, but when I awakened an E Rank Talent back then, it felt like the sky was falling.

  I refused to accept my fate, recklessly exploring the Eternal Tower, even considering sneaking into the Abyssal Plane to fight, thinking that sacrificing for the country was better than a life of mediocrity!"

  He sighed, self-deprecatingly, "It all passes. Look at me now, teaching and nurturing students, having trained several Battle Generals. Everyone has their own way of living.

  The sun shines brightly, accompanied by stars, and we can also be ordinary people who keep our feet on the ground while gazing at the stars!"

  Such self-revealing advice easily moved people.

  Liu Xueqi was genuinely grateful for the homeroom teacher's guidance. If she hadn't been able to awaken her talent a second time, just his words would have helped her immensely!

  "Thank you, teacher!"

  "Alright, you can go now."

  With that, the homeroom teacher left the classroom first.

  As Liu Xueqi was about to leave, Jiang Yun called out to her.

  Jiang Yun wasn't tall, only 1.72 meters, and his body appeared particularly thin. His thin lips pressed against his face, giving him a somewhat sharp and monkey-like appearance.

  "Liu Xueqi, want to team up to explore the Eternal Tower?"

  Jiang Yun unexpectedly extended an invitation, "If you follow me, even with an F Rank Talent, you can easily reach level 10!"

  Liu Xueqi coldly refused, "No, thanks. If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

  Jiang Yun's invitation, regardless of his intentions, was condescending enough to make Liu Xueqi uncomfortable.

  "If you change your mind, feel free to find me anytime!"

  Jiang Yun confidently called out to Liu Xueqi's retreating figure, "In the entire Third High School, even the whole of South River City, my talent is the top, bar none!"

  "Teaming up with me will greatly enhance your leveling efficiency, and you might even have a chance to reach level 30. Think about it!"

  Watching Liu Xueqi walk away, Jiang Yun shook his head.

  She would definitely regret it!

  Jiang Yun wasn't exaggerating; with an A Rank Talent, he was already very strong in South River City!

  Last year's top student in South River City only had an A Rank Talent.

  In terms of talent alone, Jiang Yun was stronger than last year's top student.

  According to Jiang Yun's teacher's estimation, Jiang Yun had a chance to become a third-tier Warrior before the college entrance exam!

  Once Liu Xueqi was far away, the smile on Jiang Yun's face slowly disappeared, his expression turning cold and sinister.

  "I now have top-tier talent, but I'm lacking resources! Although Liu Xueqi is a waste herself, the Liu family is a Battle King family. I need to find a way..."

  Jiang Yun's little schemes were naturally unknown to Liu Xueqi.

  After leaving the classroom, she ran all the way, not even looking for her driver, but instead went to catch up with Ye Bai!

  "Ye Bai, Ye Bai, wait!"

  Outside the school, under the setting sun, the shadows of Ye Bai and Zhao Lin stretched long and straight.

  Liu Xueqi ran over, out of breath, calling out to Ye Bai.

  "What's going on?!"

  Zhao Lin looked at Ye Bai in surprise, tactfully stepping aside, leaving the stage for Ye Bai and Liu Xueqi.

  "What, you have another question you can't solve?"

  Ye Bai asked naturally.

  "No, it's not that."

  Liu Xueqi propped her hands on her knees, panting slightly, sweat dripping from her forehead, sliding down her hair and hitting the ground.

  "I wanted to ask if you'd like to team up with me to explore the Eternal Tower?"

  Zhao Lin: ???

  Did I hear that right!

  Liu Xueqi, the goddess of the class, even the school flower, actively invited Ye Bai to team up?
