Jiang Ye felt the scenery around him flowing by at an unimaginable speed.

Vaguely, he seemed to see the boundless universe, clusters of incredibly luminous nebulae swiftly passing by him.

All this happened in a flash.

The next moment.

Jiang Ye appeared in a dim, unknown space.

He looked around, but Su Tong'Er and Yun Qing'Er were nowhere to be seen.

Evidently, they were allocated to another space.

"Star Sea Divine Path?" Jiang Ye looked beneath his feet, where a glowing Cloud Road led to the deep starry sky.

Just as Zhang Jianwu had mentioned before.

It was indeed a path!

However, this road was not as magnificent as its name suggested.

This Cloud Road glowed faintly, leading to a vast and dark starry sky, with little starlight.

All of this seemed filled with the unknown and mystery.

"Martial Arts under the Starry Sky is inherently filled with uncertainty."

Jiang Ye was not concerned, his expression calm as he stepped onto the Cloud Road.

Boom!

At the moment he set foot on the Cloud Road, Jiang Ye instantly felt as if the space around him was undergoing a cosmic shift.

His consciousness suddenly plunged, then sank into darkness.

...

"Swish!"

Jiang Ye suddenly opened his eyes to find himself standing at the gate of An City No.3 High School.

He shook his head, feeling vaguely dizzy: "Strange, something seems missing from my memory?"

He looked up.

Only to see a tall girl in a simple white dress, with an incredibly beautiful back, standing ahead.

The white dress fluttered gracefully with the breeze, and a familiar fragrance wafted through the air.

"Teacher Chen?" Jiang Ye gazed at the girl.

The girl turned around, revealing a flawless, stunning face, her gaze gentle as she looked at Jiang Ye.

"Jiang Ye."

Chen Zilu came toward him, extending an impeccable, white jade-like hand: "Come with me, no need to work hard anymore, from now on, I will take care of you."

"You'll take care of me?" Jiang Ye looked at her in surprise.

Chen Zilu nodded lightly and said: "You don't need to take the college entrance exam. Come with me, from now on, you will be part of the upper society."

"Even those Martial Arts prodigies must bow before you."

Chen Zilu grasped his hand.

The girl's hand was softly delicate and fair, feeling as though it might melt, incessantly stirring Jiang Ye's emotions.

But suddenly.

Jiang Ye shook his head.

"You're not her."

Chen Zilu's face showed a hint of surprise.

But the next moment, the surrounding scene shattered like a mirror.

Jiang Ye watched the scene, feeling deep inside: "It's already very similar, but compared to the sensation in the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, it's still far inferior, compared to the real Chen Zilu... much less."

Regarding sensation.

When Chen Zilu taught him individually, he had already experienced it.

No matter how realistic the Illusion Realm was, it ultimately couldn't compare to the charm of reality.

But before Jiang Ye could savor it.

His vision blackened, and his consciousness sank into darkness once more.

...

His consciousness seemed to be enveloped in darkness.

Not feeling the passage of time.

Nor sensing his own existence.

During this time, Jiang Ye's memories seemed to be crushed by a big hand, completely forgetting his goals and where he was.

...

Until Jiang Ye awoke again.

Opening his eyes, he found himself sitting in the living room at home.

"What's going on..." Jiang Ye's memory was erased once more, unable to recall what happened before.

"Ye!"

At this moment, Jiang Dahai's voice rang out: "Why are you still standing there, quickly check your exam results!"

Jiang Ye turned to look, only to find his parents and Jiang Ting sitting beside him.

In his hand, he was holding his adoptive father's cell phone.

"Right, the college entrance exam is over."

"Today is the day to check the results!"

Jiang Ye's heart tightened suddenly.

He quickly regained his senses.

Entered his name, student number, and ID number on the phone.

[Candidate Jiang Ye, checking in progress...]

A small circle appeared on the page, spinning constantly.

The thoughts of Jiang Ye's family also grew increasingly tense.

Finally.

The page refreshed.

[Dear Jiang Ye, your total Martial Arts four-subject score is—]

[690 points]

"690 points?" Jiang Ye was shocked, his mind instantly blank.

The minimum score line for the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance is 700 points.

690 points, not reaching this standard!

He could only go to an ordinary Martial Arts University!

"Failed the college entrance exam, couldn't get into the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance." Jiang Ye felt his heart sink to the bottom.

"690 points... it's already quite good." Jiang Dahai and Li Anping comforted him.

But in their eyes, they couldn't hide the look of disappointment.

"Ye." Jiang Dahai sighed: "Ordinary Martial University is also good, just live a steady life as an ordinary person, no need to compete."

"Indeed." Li Anping also advised: "The path of Martial Arts is not something our ordinary family can afford."

"What Starry Sky Martial Arts, that's the business of the upper society, you're not a genius, how could you climb up?"

They persuaded, hoping Jiang Ye would make peace with reality.

Don't compete anymore.

Let go of Starry Sky Martial Arts and willingly be an ordinary person, you can also have a happy life!

What Eastern Domain Ten Provinces? What Martial Arts prodigies? What vast starry sky?

These are not things for Jiang Ye with lower Talent to consider.

You are just an ordinary person, an exceedingly ordinary person.

Living in a poverty-stricken family in the mountains, with only a small house to live in, no savings, parents who spent their lives to send you to university.

With such family conditions, such Talent.

Do you still want to compete with those geniuses? To rival those who shine brightly as prodigies?

Stop dreaming!

In this era where prodigies are as numerous as stars, you no longer have a reason to strive.

Don't compete, don't think.

Stay in this acre of land in An City, live a quiet life, that's your best destination!

These words kept resurfacing in Jiang Ye's ears.

"Don't compete? Don't think?"

Suddenly, Jiang Ye smiled.

Yes, my family background is ordinary.

My Talent is mediocre.

But precisely because of this... I must win.

"Dad, Mom, you don't need to persuade me."

Jiang Ye said calmly: "Since I didn't get in this year, then I'll take it next year."

"If next year doesn't work, then the year after!"

"I will win."

"I won't give up on Starry Sky Martial Arts, I want to walk this path!" Jiang Ye was resolute.

I have to compete!

I can fail countless times, but the last time, I must win!

Not only do I want to win, but I want to win brilliantly, win gloriously.

Today, under the stars, I stand like an ant, but one day, I too will overlook the starry sky!

"Will win!" Jiang Ye stood up.

The scene in front of him shattered like an Illusion Realm.

Jiang Dahai, Li Anping, Jiang Ting, were like smoke and vanished.

But before Jiang Ye could see this scene, his vision blackened, and his consciousness sank into darkness once more.
