Lu Ming had come back with Jiang Feng.

Although he was a conman and was very annoying, he was after all Xiaobai's father. Besides, he had yet to sign his will. It would not be good to give up on him.

The grave was filled up once again.

In Lu Ming's opinion, it was better to destroy the grave. However, Jiang Feng said that it had a good location and geomancy. Most importantly, he renovated it before he faked his death…

He could not bear to destroy it.

Therefore, it was left intact.

…

After returning, it was expected that he would arrange for the transfer of the school.

Jiang Feng asked around, signed some doc.u.ments, and the transfer was completed. Therefore, there was now an affiliated school under the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation—

The Sword Card Master a.s.sociation affiliated college at the crossroads!

Done!

"There is no way to test the students' talents."

Li Haoran felt his head hurt slightly.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, he could help with the testing of the disciples who joined the a.s.sociation. However, it was impossible to require every student who enrolled into the school to go through testing.

"It's okay."

Lu Ming was very calm about this.

This was an affiliated college. It was not as if everyone would join the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation!

The Sword Card Master a.s.sociation was merely a name. They could enroll students as per usual and they would select the most talented students to join the a.s.sociation.

Well…

There was nothing wrong with that.

In that case…

That left them with one problem—There was no way to enroll any students with the cut-off points!

The cut-off points were too low!

The college at the crossroads had set a very low requirement!

This college was listed on the "Enrollment Guide" however it ranked very low in terms of enrollment cut-off points and requirements…

"Is this true or not?"

Lu Ming looked through last year's "Enrollment Guide".

Oh.

The college at the crossroads, cut-off points: 56 points.

Lu Ming turned sullen.

He remembered that one usually scored over six to seven hundred points in the college entrance exams!

This was shocking. The admission cut-off point was only 56 points!

Cough, cough.

Jiang Feng coughed. "Well, in general, the admission point for the college at the crossroads is flexible. It will change according to the lowest marks of the students… It was very low last year as there was a student who scored a very low score. Hence, the cut-off point was lowered. It was 64 points two years ago."

Lu Ming was expressionless.

Everyone could enroll with that score!

There was not much of a difference between 64 points and 56 points!

It was still as lousy!

It was impossible to have such a low score even if someone filled in multiple choice questions with their eyes closed! Lu Ming could not imagine how the score came about…

It was too low!

Besides, there was no way they could enroll talented students with this score!

How could that be possible?!

When the college at the crossroads was in Qing Ming City, people who had an average score but were too lazy to go to other cities would choose from the few colleges in the city.

Now that they were in Tian Du City…

There were many inst.i.tutions there!

No one would choose to join their school!

Therefore…

This was no longer a question of whether they could attract talents. It was likely that they could not find any students!

There were very few cases like Xia Yu and him!

Hence…

Lu Ming looked at the data provided by Jiang Feng and he became more and more desperate. He had no idea that the college at the crossroads was in this situation!

"Do you really dare to take in students with all kinds of scores?" Lu Ming exclaimed.

There were many people in this world. There were certainly some people who were unsuitable for cultivation, particularly the students who scored fifty to sixty points. They might not be very clever. Was it alright for them to cultivate?

"In fact, it is alright."

Jiang Feng scratched his head. "These two students are quite fast in their cultivation."

"To h.e.l.l with that!"

Lu Ming sneered. "Believe it or not, if I find a random person to answer the multiple choice questions, they will be able to score 100 points and above."

Jiang Feng was silent.

That seemed to be true.

"What should we do?"

Lu Ming had a headache as well.

Seriously…

The college at the crossroads had been doing well during its first two years.

Even if it was an ordinary tertiary inst.i.tution, the students would score around three hundred points. Therefore, the admission marks of the students were considered to be stable.

As for these two years…

It had fallen to a new low!

It was 64 points two years ago and 56 points last year. The college at the crossroads had the lowest score among all the colleges!

That was right!

The college at the crossroads ranked last in the "Enrollment Guide"!

No one was worse than them!

If one looked through the guide from the back, the college at the crossroads would be the first in the listing…

——

The enrollment review: non-locals are not recommended. This school is a basic cultivation initiation school. If possible, give preference to other inst.i.tutions.

School features: Very low tuition fees.

——

Can you tell me…

How does one enroll students with such a feedback and admission score?

Unless…

They did another rating!!!

School rating…

This was a big project!

A formal inst.i.tution of higher learning should ensure the students' progress from one-star to three-star! This was the minimum standard for every student!

Of course.

It was another matter whether it could be fulfilled.

For example…

The college at the crossroads had an average graduation level of two-star and the teachers were no higher than three-star!

However, such a school was able to groom students to become peak three-star. It depended on the students whether they could break through or not!

This was the basic task of the college of higher learning.

Afterward…

The teachers, princ.i.p.al and environment were just as important.

It was easy to understand the importance of the environment. There were very few people in the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation. The building that Zhao Yunshan purchased was very large. It could afford to provide the students with a good environment!

The teachers…

This was even easier to understand.

There were many six-stars in the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation. All of them were stronger than the original teachers! They could make guest appearances to teach and the students would definitely benefit from it!

Undoubtedly…

The affiliated college had a strong team of teachers!

Finally… the princ.i.p.al.

"Which level are you at now?" Lu Ming asked.

"Four-star."

Jiang Feng did not hesitate to answer.

Lu Ming was expressionless.

Where was his shame?!

Didn't he feel ashamed to say that he was a four-star!?

He caused trouble in the World of Darkness and Shadows. There were many six-stars in the world but he scammed all of them. Yet he dared to say that he was still a four-star cultivator!?

"I am indeed a four-star," Jiang Feng said earnestly.

With that…

He took the initiative to release his aura…

Well…

Four-star.

Lu Ming smiled. He did not believe his words!

"Which level are you at now?"

Jiang Feng questioned him back.

"Four-star," Lu Ming answered honestly.

"Hahahaha.

Jiang Feng smiled without a word.

Lu Ming was speechless.

→_→

Xiaobai widened her eyes at the sight of the two fools smirking at each other. She frowned and kicked Jiang Feng. "Dad, don't bully Master."

Jiang Feng was silent.

He did not bully Lu Ming. It was the other way round!

And…

He was her father!

Jiang Feng's face instantly darkened.

He swept his unfriendly gaze over Xiaobai and Lu Ming. He felt that something indescribable had happened while he was away…

Of course.

As there were previous occurrences, he instinctively looked toward Xiaobai's belly…

Fortunately…

"Dad!"

Xiaobai kicked at Jiang Feng viciously.

That's annoying!

They should bury him right now!

Lu Ming looked sullen as well.

Forget it.

He would take it that he was a four-star.

The higher-ups must have known that Jiang Feng was a four-star. If not, it was impossible that a four-star could be a princ.i.p.al. Everyone knew that this guy was full of tricks!

Well…

In that case, there was no issue with the teachers and princ.i.p.al.

It was a pity.

They had a powerful team and a perfect affiliated college yet no one knew of them and they ranked last in the "Enrollment Guide"…

Did this make any sense?

"Are we still in time to do another evaluation?"

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Feng looked outside the window at the sun and the students by the roadside who had just finished their college entrance exams. If they did another evaluation, students might only be able to enroll next year.

"Alright."

Lu Ming sighed.

"You should be thankful."

Jiang Feng was indifferent. "Qing Ming City was destroyed. In fact, the college at the crossroads was gone as well. However, as there are many copies of the 'Enrollment Guide' and they had to be printed a few months in advance, hence it is impossible to reprint after Qing Ming City was destroyed. This was why the college is still listed in the guide.

"If Qing Ming City had been destroyed a month earlier, the college at the crossroads will not be listed in the Enrollment Guide!"

Lu Ming understood now.

In that case…

They had to increase their popularity again.

However…

How should they make themselves well-known?!

Well…

College…

Enrollment…

Ranked last…

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and he suddenly thought of a plan—If they invited the two students who ranked last and shared their experience in the school with the students, would it work?!

Although they only scored fifty to sixty points in the college entrance exams…

Although they were not as bright…

Their teachers were six-stars geniuses from The First Academy! The college was located in the city downtown area. It occupied the entire street and had an excellent environment!

Furthermore, it was the affiliated college of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation who had gained popularity!

And these would be theirs…

As long as they enrolled into the affiliated college at the crossroads!

All these seemed exciting at the thought of it!

"Hurry!

"Get the two fools here!"

Lu Ming was excited.

He had decided on the marketing method!

"Are you sure?"

Jiang Feng had doubts.

"Is this… really alright?!"

"Of course."

Lu Ming was very excited. People these days liked huge contrast and comparison!

Look!

People who joined The First Academy might not have this kind of treatment! They had the lowest cut-off point but the best resources. The students would be tempted by the huge difference.

This would be enough.

Of course.

Before the admission program, they could leave an address for the students to visit the college!

After the college entrance exams, the students that had finally completed their basic education would seem like newly released zombies. They would be happy to tour the college…

He was certain.

The environment and learning experience of the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation would be able to attract many students!

Very good.

The plan was perfect!

Now, all they needed was to invite the two of them over and to seek their cooperation.

"Hopefully, they at least have a normal IQ."

Although he was excited, Lu Ming still felt worried.

After all…

It was uncommon for someone to score fifty to sixty points.

"Xiaobai, try to look for them,"

Lu Ming said.

"Okay."

Xiaobai looked through the enrollment list back then seriously.

Well…

The admission score was fairly good. Basically, it was around 300 points. Although it was a poor score, it was not the lowest score. It was just that the person who ranked last…

Shus.h.!.+

Xiaobai flipped to the last page and was stunned.

——

Name: Lu Ming.

Results: 64 points.

Nature: Special admission.

——

Shus.h.!.+

The entire meeting room turned silent.

Xiaobai was silent.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Lu Ming was stunned.

d.a.m.n it. He was the fool who had scored 64 points!

How could that be possible…

Wait a minute.

There must be some mistake!

He did not have a memory of it. Back then, he took the exam and enrolled into the school. After receiving the notice, he reported to the school…

Oh.

He remembered it now!

Lu Ming tried hard to recall Little Lu Ming's memory. It was not very important but very saddening. It happened a long time ago.

Back then, poor Little Lu Ming missed his elder sister terribly. All his thoughts were about her. He cried while answering the multiple choice questions and longed for her dearly. In the end, he made the painful decision to leave his elder sister… He probably did not know what he wrote, and then…

That was it.

64 points. Those were Little Lu Ming's results back then.

→_→

In front of him…

Jiang Feng's lips curled to reveal a smile. He really deserved a round of beatings.

Lu Ming was expressionless.

For unknown reasons…

He had an urge to bury Jiang Feng again…

…
