Chapter 121: Jiang Tian Is a Great Benefactor
The Academic Affairs Center was crowded with people, with parents and students filling every available space.
Many high school teachers were also present, accompanying students and advising them on which martial arts university to choose.
At the same time, patrol guards from the patrol office were stationed throughout the area, ensuring order and security.
Since this was the critical period for university applications, a large section of the Academic Affairs Center had been marked off for the event.
Rows of smart lockers were neatly arranged, with each machine occupied by a student, navigating the screen to submit their application.
Jiang Tian and Xue Ruyan first went to register and get their queue numbers.
Once the staff confirmed their identity, they were assigned a place in line.
Since the system allowed students to use the machines one after another, it was convenient for the two of them to apply together.
Aunt Juan accompanied them to the waiting area.

Application Security Measures
When a smart locker was in use, a barrier automatically activated, preventing anyone else from getting close.
This security feature was not always present—
It was added after an incident in which a jealous student tampered with another student's university selection, enrolling a top genius into a low-ranking university as a malicious prank.
Since the application system could not be changed, the victim's future was ruined, leading to major public outrage.
To prevent such incidents, the Academic Affairs Center introduced barriers, ensuring that no one could interfere with a student's application process.
Additionally, students were required to apply in person to prevent identity theft or any last-minute accidents.

Invitation Notifications
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Suddenly, a series of notification sounds rang out, clear and loud in the Academic Affairs Center.
The moment this sound appeared, many people turned their heads, looking toward its source.
Some even stood on tiptoe, stretching their necks to see who it was.
---
"Who was that? They actually got an invitation?"
---
"Oh, it's Deng Jun from Xiangshi No. 1 High School! With his ability, it's no surprise. His grades must be excellent."
---
"An invitation?"
---
"You don't know? Normally, students have to apply to martial arts universities on their own. But top students like him? They get direct invitations from universities!"
---
"Yeah, students with outstanding records are usually targeted by multiple universities ahead of time."
---
"Once they log in, the system automatically notifies them of any invitations."
---
Many students and parents whispered among themselves, envying Deng Jun.
For students invited by a university, there were often special rewards, including extra scholarships and exclusive training opportunities.
It wasn't just about rewards—it was also a great honor.
From the continuous notifications on Deng Jun's screen, it was clear that many universities were competing to recruit him.
Deng Jun, standing tall, listened to the surrounding discussions with pride.
---
More Invitations
Ding ding ding…
Just then, another series of notification sounds echoed through the center—
Even more frequent than Deng Jun's!
---
"Look! It's Leng Hao!"
---
A student exclaimed, and many people turned to look.
Leng Hao was a well-known figure among the students, especially after his outstanding performance in the martial arts college entrance examination.
When he logged into his personal official account and received multiple invitations, no one was surprised.
---
Jiang Tian and Leng Hao Meet
Jiang Tian also noticed Leng Hao at this moment.
It was finally his and Xue Ruyan's turn to use the smart lockers.
Just as they were about to log in, they were distracted by the notification sounds from Leng Hao's screen.
At that moment, Leng Hao turned around and noticed Jiang Tian standing nearby.
---
"Jiang Tian..."
Leng Hao nodded slightly, acknowledging him.
Then, as if realizing something, he suddenly asked:
---
"Which university are you applying to? Tiansheng University in the capital?"
---
"No, I'm going to Hongwu University in Xingcheng."
Jiang Tian shook his head, answering casually.
Leng Hao paused, then nodded.
---
"Then I'll also apply to Xingcheng Hongwu University. I should be able to get in."
---
With that, Leng Hao turned back to his screen and selected Xingcheng Hongwu University.
---
Although his grades were strong, Leng Hao had not received an invitation from Hongwu University.
This was expected—
The top ten martial arts universities rarely sent out invitations unless a student was exceptionally outstanding.
Leng Hao was a talent in Southern Province, but in the entire Tang Kingdom, he was only considered first-tier.
Compared to true national-level geniuses, he was still a step behind.
---
A Surprising Decision
Choosing to attend the same university as Jiang Tian wasn't random—
Leng Hao knew that Jiang Tian was terrifyingly strong.
Training and competing alongside someone like him would push him to improve faster.
Jiang Tian, however, was surprised by Leng Hao's decision.
He never expected that his presence alone would influence someone else's choice of university.
After confirming his application, Leng Hao walked over to Jiang Tian, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding students.

Jiang Tian's Arrival Causes a Stir
At this moment, many students in the center noticed Jiang Tian and Xue Ruyan.
---
"It's Jiang Tian!"
---
"This is going to be interesting."
---
One student muttered, staring at him.
Almost instantly, a crowd began moving toward Jiang Tian.
---
"Jiang Tian! Thank you so much! Your efforts helped me improve my grades a lot!"
---
Another student eagerly asked:
---
"Can we take a photo together? I'm your fan!"
---
As a few bold students took the first step, more people rushed over, surrounding Jiang Tian.
---
A Hero Among Students
Although some were just excited, most students were genuinely grateful.
Jiang Tian's contributions had completely changed the environment of the Huotang Small World.
---
Many students had been able to achieve better scores, which expanded their university choices significantly.
For them—
Jiang Tian wasn't just a fellow student—he was a great benefactor.
---
If it weren't for the barrier around the smart locker area, the crowd might have lifted Jiang Tian into the air out of gratitude and excitement!
