For Jiang City, it was even more so; not only did it make a splash on the national stage, but the quality and quantity of geniuses far surpassed other base cities.
This time, Jiang City had as many as seven recognized super geniuses.
Two of them joined Great Wall University, including Ye Qiu.
Two joined Demon Star University.
The remaining three super geniuses, Lin Feng, Yun Kai, and Dong Yunan, all joined Red Cloud University, which was unexpected for everyone.
The news media reported extensively, and rumors began that Red Cloud University had engaged in private transactions at a high price.
Yang Fan surprisingly knew all of them and even joined the same martial arts club, no wonder Manager Gao changed his attitude, fearing to offend him.
Although Kaiyuan Real Estate is a real estate company valued at billions, being a real estate company, it's just a small company and not really strong.
As the vice president of the Demon Spirit Master Association, in Jiang City, Dong Xiuxian's power and strength are so formidable that a mere word could potentially bring Kaiyuan Real Estate to the brink of bankruptcy.
As for the Extraordinary Clan Yun Race, though they have declined somewhat over the years, the lean camel is still bigger than a horse. In terms of financial power and connections, they far surpass Kaiyuan Real Estate, making it impossible for Kaiyuan to dare offend the Yun Race.
As for Lin Feng, the recent top scorer on the college entrance exam, unless absolutely necessary, no group would dare offend such a talent.
Even one among Lin Feng's group would be someone Kaiyuan Real Estate wouldn't dare easily offend, let alone all three of them.
However, what puzzled Yang Zan a bit was that even if they joined the same martial arts club, it was just a student-founded club for fun, so how did Yang Fan come to know such important figures, and why did Manager Chen really show him such favor?
"Xiaofan, Dad really owes a lot to you this time."
Yang Zan patted Yang Fan on the shoulder, somewhat emotionally.
He really hadn't expected that the son he least valued would come to his aid.
If it weren't for Yang Fan, in half a month, he might have had to declare bankruptcy for real.
Although that five billion from Kaiyuan Company wouldn't have been a bad debt, dragging it out for a couple of years would have definitely collapsed his company.
"It's nothing."
Being recognized by his father for the first time, even encouraged, strangely didn't fill Yang Fan with joy.
"How many points did you score on this college entrance exam?"
It was then that Yang Zan realized he still didn't know Yang Fan's exam score, so he asked.
"I scored 529," Yang Fan replied.
"529 points?"
Evidently, the score slightly exceeded Yang Zan's expectations, as he had thought it would be just over four hundred.
"I've broken through to Body Cultivator Eighth Rank."
Yang Fan's lips curled with a touch of sarcasm.
In other households, parents would be anxious and concerned when their children take the college entrance exam, as it's a matter concerning their future.
Yet, regardless of his abilities, a week after the exam, his father didn't even know how many points he had scored, which was simply ironic.
"529, plus the ten points from the refinement of a Second Grade Demon Spirit, that's 539."
Seeing the sarcasm on his son's lips, Yang Zan felt somewhat guilty in his heart as a father.
He realized he had indeed overlooked a lot regarding his youngest son.
"This year's Changkong University's cutoff is 574 points, but you're 45 points short. Don't worry, I'll cover the amount for you."
His guilt led Yang Zan to decide to make it up to his son.
Conveniently, this sum was also recovered by Yang Fan, so it counted as a reward.
"Dad, are you sure about this!"
Eldest brother Yang Zeming couldn't help but speak up.
Though surprised that Yang Fan knew Lin Feng and the other two and was in the same martial arts club, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Having undergone the college entrance exam himself, he knew that after graduation, even the closest classmates would drift apart over time if they went separate ways.
Lin Feng and the others would meet new classmates and friends, and super geniuses usually don't have much in common with ordinary people.
"Yes, Dad, a single point at Changkong costs three million; for 45 points, that's over a hundred million!" Yang Li also persuaded.
In his eyes, Yang Fan's talent was too poor, and even if he got into Changkong University, it wouldn't make much difference; it would just be a waste of money.
"Going to Changkong is a good thing for Xiaofan, beneficial for his future, and besides, the money was recovered by him," Mrs. Yang supported Yang Fan's decision to go to Changkong.
"Yang Fan, what are your plans?"
His sons' persuasion made Yang Zan somewhat hesitant; over a hundred million wasn't a small amount, and giving it away would surely cause him heartache for a long time.
If Yang Fan had talent, the money would be worth it, but it was clear that Yang Fan lacked the talent for cultivation, leaving Yang Zan hesitant.
However, having already spoken, as a father, he couldn't just back down.
"No need, Changkong's level is too low; I don't care for it at all."
Yang Fan chuckled. The persuasion from his eldest and third brothers made his father hesitate, bringing a touch of sadness to Yang Fan as he realized he still wasn't valued by his father.
"Yang Fan, don't think just because you recovered the money for Dad, you can talk so arrogantly," said Yang Li.
He had gone to Changkong University himself, and it was a matter of pride for him. It was for this reason that he was most valued by their father.
Yang Fan's demeaning of Changkong naturally displeased him.
If Yang Fan hadn't retrieved five billion, solving the family's crisis, he certainly would have taught him a lesson.
"Yang Li, do you know that you are, in front of me now..."
As Yang Fan spoke, he pulled out an admission letter from Red Cloud University from his bag: "just like a clown."
"Red Cloud University?" Yang Yi suddenly exclaimed.
"What?"
Yang Zan snatched the admission letter from Yang Fan's hand, and upon opening it, he couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
Yang Li and Yang Zeming also saw the admission letter from Red Cloud at this moment, and their expressions became quite splendid, filled with disbelief.
How could Yang Fan, with a score of 529, receive a special admission from Red Cloud University, one of the Three Heroic Academies?
"Is it real?"
Yang Li exclaimed, feeling a sense of defeat in his heart.
In the family, he was the most favored, precisely because he had gained admission to one of the Nine Elite Joint Schools, Changkong University, while his elder brother and second sister were nowhere close to that.
This had always been his pride, but now, his pride was brutally shattered by Yang Fan's admission letter.
In front of the Three Heroic Academies, Changkong Academy couldn't hold a candle.
The Three Heroic Academies were not just universities; they represented a class and privilege.
In the face of this admission letter, he was indeed just like a clown.
"What do you think?"
Yang Fan glanced at the desolate Yang Li and said calmly.
"Yang Fan, what's going on, how were you specially admitted by Red Cloud?"
Yang Zan's heart was elated, his lips curling into a growing smile; he had never thought that the son he least expected would be specially admitted by Red Cloud.
Red Cloud!
If his business partners knew his son got into Red Cloud, who wouldn't look at him in admiration?
"Because of Lin Feng and the others!"
Yang Fan didn't explain much. After exchanging a few words with his mother, he returned to his room.
After Yang Fan left, Yang Zan and the others exchanged glances, a brief silence enveloping them.
