Astral Apostle
chapter-289

Although he was born lacking, this could be corrected through the supernatural system of acquired cultivation. If his aptitude was outstanding in certain systems, he could still grow up and become an expert who specialized in one or several supernatural systems.

Many of the current Supers were like this.

However, superpowers typically were more powerful, their starting point and potential were also higher. Compared to the cultivation aptitude that required time to prove, the guests from the various organizations present naturally paid more attention to the current high potential superpowers.

The arena battle was lost, and the gap between the two sides in the following team competition did not widen. In the end, the Banners won this match with an advantage.

However, the score for the Crowns had already exceeded 50. The total score was above the Gems.

After three matches, Banner had the highest total score and successfully won.

The Crowns were second.

This time, Gems was beaten up twice and placed last.

The total points obtained by the three faculties in the competition would be converted into the final evaluation of this semester according to a certain ratio. However, the total score of the new student competition was not high, and it was not a decisive factor in the overall evaluation of the semester.

After the new student competition ended, it was already afternoon. The rankings were settled, and the academy held a simple award ceremony.

The teams from the three faculties followed the instructor to the stage. Dean Lu Zhongsu and Vice Dean Shen Xinqin awarded medals to the new students who performed well.

Li Xiaoyin had a perfect record and won the medal as expected. She smiled like a husky on stage.

Zhou Jing's results in the arena were eight wins and one loss. Among them, he had defeated six Class S core students. He was very valuable and was ranked second. He had also won an award and obtained the second medal of the arena competition.

The academy's award was an official honor recognized by various organizations. It would be recorded in a file and enriched one's resume.

As new students who had just entered the school for a month, all the contestants who participated in the new student competition would at least have a participation award for being selected. Their resume had already exceeded that of the other new students.

Zhou Jing's second place in the freshmen arena was the first honor in his Super file, making his originally blank resume look much better.

There were also actual rewards for this award, such as a reward of 200,000 Nassau, additional GPA, the priority use of certain cultivation venues this semester, and so on.

Zhou Jing was not short of money now. He still had more than 100,000 Nassaus in his account, but the 200,000 Nassaus bonus directly tripled his savings.

As the champion of the arena, Li Xiaoyin's prize money was higher. She had received 500,000... The academy was really generous. There was a considerable sum of prize money for every competition between new students, which gave Zhou Jing a new understanding of how easy it was for Supers to earn money.

In addition, among the various rewards for the runner-up, Zhou Jing was more concerned about two of them.

One was to give the equipment research and development department a 30% discount in the customization of a piece of equipment. After submitting his needs, he would request for it to be forged.

This was one of the academy's areas that promoted expenditure. The equipment development department was a proper official organization. Among them, the development of superpower equipment was a long-term project and had a cooperative relationship with the Supers Academy.

Students could spend money to customize equipment. There was no limit to the types. Cold weapons, hot weapons, machinery, magic artifacts, and magic tools were all fine. As long as they dared to mention it, the equipment research and development department would dare to make it. The price would be set according to the effect of the final product.

Those who needed this kind of service were usually students who practiced the mystic techniques. It was rarely used by boorish people like Zhou Jing who had chosen the Martial Technique Path.

However, a 30% discount was a rare opportunity. He might need it in the future. At the very least, he could sell it to other students.

The second reward that Zhou Jing valued was the subsequent right to buy the genetic potion and develop it for the assistants of Supers to use.

As the boss, Supers were bound to their assistants. The two of them were bound together in glory and failure.

Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao had only used low-level genetic potions before, and they only had the enhancement effect of the Beginner level. If they wanted to continue enhancing, they needed their boss to obtain the right to buy higher-level genetic potions.

There were many ways to obtain the right to buy, and the reward of the academy's competition was one of the easiest ways for students to come into contact with it.

"Not bad. There are practical benefits. I didn't fight for nothing."

Zhou Jing was happy to receive the medal from Vice President Shen Xinqin.

Shen Xinqin smiled gently and encouraged, "You did well. Continue to work hard."

Zhou Jing nodded and accepted the applause and congratulations from the students.

There were only about 10,000 people in the entire school. In this new student competition, a total of 150 contestants had displayed their strength in front of the entire school. These students were now considered to be quite famous.

The person who left the deepest impression on everyone was naturally Li Xiaoyin. Zhou Jing's outstanding performance was also remembered by everyone as an expert among the new students.

In particular, many people learned from the forum that Li Xiaoyin and Zhou Jing were childhood friends. In the end, they took over the top two spots in the freshmen arena. They were both experts. Such a relationship was discussed happily by everyone.

After the outstanding people received their awards one by one, Dean Lu Zhongsu gave a speech that ended the competition successfully. The simple award ceremony ended, and tens of thousands of people dispersed in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.

Zhou Jing picked up his things and bade farewell to his temporary teammates in this competition. He went out of the arena to meet his three best friends.

Xu Lingyun came over and hugged Zhou Jing's arm without letting go.

"Brother Jing, your performance today was really heroic. I got wet just by watching."

"I don't believe you. Take off your pants to prove it."

Zhou Jing curled his lips and pulled his hand away in disdain.

"Yo, catch." Li Xiaoyin held the two bottles of drinks she had just bought and threw one over.

Zhou Jing took the drink and took a sip casually. He raised his chin at her and teased, "The champion is really stingy. All that prize money, and she just treated me to a drink."
