Chapter 119 Mentor Selection
Chapter 119 Mentor Selection
At the huge job fair, all twenty-three mentors closed their eyes to rest and didn't even open them to look at the students.
Students choose their advisors, and advisors also choose their students.
A month ago, these mentors might have been more enthusiastic, but now they have no interest in it at all.
Chu Wen stood in front of each professor's admission brochure and carefully examined them for a while.
Four of the mentors explicitly stated one condition: Chu Wen could become their disciple, while the others needed to be high-level Battle Kings.
This left Chu Wen somewhat amused and exasperated. The four people showed no enthusiasm when they saw him, and when he asked them questions, no one answered. They simply handed him a form, implying, "Fill it in or don't."
Hu Tao, after going around in circles, said helplessly, "These Star Warriors don't even look at me. Chu Wen, you're incredibly sought after; four mentors have specifically asked to take you on."
Chen Du was also turned away, and said dejectedly, "Sigh, I'm so jealous. Without a mentor here in the Dark Nest, it's just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse."
"The Star Warrior instructors don't think much of us. We'll probably have to wait for the War God-level instructor tomorrow and try our luck..."
The job fair consists of two sessions: the first session is for Star-level mentors, and the second session is for War God-level mentors.
Star Warrior level cultivators are naturally far stronger than War God level cultivators, and even the resources they can offer are on a completely different level. However, Star Warrior level cultivators are all extremely arrogant, and having just experienced a great battle, they are not in the mood to take on students for the time being.
After all, at their level, they value their own strength more. Students and apprentices are all meaningless! The great battle a few days ago taught them that only with strong strength do they have a voice!
"Chu Wen, I just saw another Star Warrior-level expert from humble beginnings, in that corner. I saw he was using a battle sword. Don't you want to consider him?"
Chen Du offered a reminder.
Chu Wen nodded slightly: "Professor Song Chang'an is indeed more suitable for me, but coming from a humble background, he should face the same challenges as me."
Although they both come from humble backgrounds, there is certainly some psychological support between them. However, breakthroughs in cultivation depend on resources, and the resources available to grassroots star cultivators are definitely not as good as those from these large families. They might even be more resource-constrained than Chu Wen himself...
When Song Chang'an saw Chu Wen, his eyes were actually drawn to him, but he did not explicitly recruit Chu Wen, nor did he answer Chu Wen's questions. Everything was left to Chu Wen's own choice.
Most of the mentors present were actually there for Chu Wen, but no one spoke; this was an unspoken understanding between them.
After all, there are so many students here, and quite a few of them are very influential. It's not appropriate to say these things outright. Only four mentors with extremely powerful family backgrounds don't care about these things and have made it clear in the recruitment brochure that they are recruiting Chu Wen, unafraid of offending anyone.
These Star Warriors were well aware that Chu Wen's background was ordinary and that he was definitely in dire need of resources. Song Chang'an knew he couldn't provide too many resources, so even though Chu Wen was right at his doorstep, he didn't take the initiative to recruit him. There was nothing he could do about it.
All of this can only be figured out by Chu Wen himself; no one else can make the decision for him.
With Chen Du and Hu Tao's words, Chu Wen gradually understood something. He looked around at each mentor in the room. Although they had their eyes closed, it seemed that their energy was gathered on him, waiting for him to make a decision.
This isn't some kind of job fair; it's clearly all the Star Warriors vying for Chu Wen!
It's just that with so many students present, it's inconvenient to offend the forces behind them!
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from one of the seats in the room.
"Your name is Chen Du, right? You're a smart kid, you shouldn't die on the battlefield. I'll take you in."
A Star Warrior opened his eyes and looked at Chen Du beside Chu Wen.
Chen Du suddenly felt dizzy and looked at the mentor who had spoken, Tang Guofeng, a powerful warrior who was skilled with a battle sword.
Hu Tao quickly nudged the dazed Chen Du: "What are you waiting for? Go and become an apprentice!"
Chen Du was startled and ran over quickly, filling out the double-choice form efficiently.
The other geniuses present all had envious looks in their eyes, and most of them didn't understand why these mentors were so indifferent.
Chu Wen no longer hesitated. Although he longed to become an apprentice to these powerful clans' mentors, they might not be a good fit for him. His behavior and perspective were different from theirs, and there was no need to force himself to integrate for the sake of temporary resources. After all, how much of a mentor's resources could he actually acquire? He would have to fight for it himself. Since he was going to fight for it anyway, he might as well choose one that wouldn't offend anyone.
If I were to become a disciple of one of these powerful clans' Star Warriors, my bond with the Chaos Martial Arts Academy might be weakened, which would conflict with the agreement I made when I joined the Dragon Universe Training Camp.
Perhaps, all his guesses were based on the fact that a powerful human foresaw the current situation the moment the training camp agreement was signed? That's why he informed him of the stakes beforehand, so as not to get involved in the disputes between these forces and affect his cultivation progress.
Having figured out the key points, Chu Wen walked to Song Chang'an's seat and carefully filled out the double-selection form.
Some of the mentors who were watching Chu Wen sighed, but no one spoke up to stop him. It was Chu Wen's own choice, and they could only accept it.
However, some of the powerful clans' Star Warriors felt a sense of helplessness, realizing that it was no longer possible to win Chu Wen over to their faction under the pretext of becoming his disciple.
Fortunately, Chu Wen became a disciple of Song Chang'an. Song Chang'an was a man who did not contend with the world and did not establish a martial arts family, which reduced some conflicts of interest.
"If you choose me, your current breakthrough might suffer a bit." Although Song Chang'an said this, he had a warm smile on his face. "Come to my residence tomorrow and I will explain the Dark Nest to you."
"This is a gift for becoming an apprentice, a total of 20 Bone Tempering Pills. You should need these now."
After handing a small brown bottle to Chu Wen, Song Chang'an immediately prepared to pack up his stall, indicating that he did not intend to recruit any other students.
After Chu Wen selected his mentor, the atmosphere in the room seemed to relax immediately. Some mentors stopped sitting formally and began to answer questions from students.
Only then did some of the trainees realize what was happening, and they were shocked.
Yatu Nix even cast a slightly hostile glance at Chu Wen—were all these mentors here for Chu Wen?!
He, a genius from the Yatu family, was completely overshadowed by Chu Wen?!
Li Muyan blinked, looking at Chu Wen with a somewhat amused expression. They had just thought the serious atmosphere was due to the great battle a few days ago, but it turned out it was all because of Chu Wen.
She had thought the impact of the great war was so severe that everyone's expression was extremely solemn, and that the situation of the human race had deteriorated to this extent? In the end, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
At least these powerful Star Warriors did not lose their spirit and energy due to the great battle, and the students present also calmed down.
Soda's voice rang out again: "This city was not built by humans of your time. After the data analysis, we know that this city is called 'Southern Heavenly Mysterious Gold City,' and its construction date is estimated to be 600 million years ago."
"The Blue Star people's guess was correct. The previous generation of ancient Blue Star people had already gone extinct. However, the special properties of Xuanjin have allowed the city to stand firm."
"But these Holy Race of Destruction are also strange. Why didn't they destroy the city? They only destroyed living beings... This is not right."
