Even during their gathering, the atmosphere was lighthearted and free from any dramatic incidents. Both Jiang Chen and Jiang Xi enjoyed a rare period of relaxation in this time. During these days, Jiang Chen shared the information he had about the Naruto World with Jiang Xi, while she provided detailed insights into higher education institutions. This world differed significantly from his previous life. In his past life, education followed a linear path: elementary school, middle school, high school, and then university. University was more about delaying employment and consuming excess societal savings than securing a better future. In this world, however, educational institutions hold the key to shaping one's destiny. After middle school, students entered high school, where those with sufficient talent were selected as potential World Conquerors. The high school curriculum focused on basic survival skills and strategies for world conquest, culminating in initial world logins. Upon completion, students became eligible for admission to higher education institutions. Entering these institutions unlocked a world of new possibilities. The most crucial aspect was the more in-depth education on becoming a World Conqueror. Secondly, there was the matter of login qualifications. Yes, login qualifications. World Conquerors couldn't conquer just one world. To continue progressing after completing their bound world, they needed to obtain login qualifications for other worlds. Failure to do so would necessitate choosing a new world. These login qualifications were controlled by these institutions. The higher the institution's level, the more powerful the login worlds under their control. Failing to enter a higher education institution not only meant almost losing the opportunity to log into other worlds but also meant having only one chance to make a mistake. If their bound character died or the world reached its limit, their path forward would inevitably be blocked. Jiang Chen wasn't overly concerned about his path being blocked. The Dragon Ball world was vast enough, and with his foreknowledge, major issues were unlikely to arise. Moreover, whether death in the Dragon Ball world truly meant login failure remained uncertain for him. The Dragon Ball world offered resurrection opportunities. As long as one wasn't destroyed by the God of Destruction or erased by Zen'ō (King of All), death wasn't necessarily permanent. Of course, the specifics were still uncertain, and Jiang Chen couldn't recklessly test this. Failure would mean true failure, with no room for regret. "It seems it's best to head to a higher education institution after all," Jiang Chen mused to himself. If for no other reason than the login opportunities, he needed to consider this. While the Dragon Ball world was undoubtedly strong, it wasn't the strongest. And it had significant limitations. To compensate for Dragon Ball's shortcomings and reach greater heights, entering a higher education institution would be the most prudent course of action. Only then could he gain access to login permissions for other worlds. "Absolutely!" "When the time comes, brother, you should apply to DaXia (Great Xia) University. Whatever you do, don't go to Modu University," Jiang Xi exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. "Modu University?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Jiang Xi with curiosity. "That's right. Modu University is full of lunatics. If you go there, you'll definitely have a hard time," Jiang Xi replied, her expression serious. "Did someone from Modu University beat you up?" Jiang Chen asked, sensing a hint of resentment in his sister's tone. "Who got beaten up?!" Jiang Xi exclaimed, jumping up. "How could I possibly..." "If you weren't beaten up, why are you so resentful?" Jiang Chen replied, exasperated. "Hmph, it's all because of Modu University's performance in the last inter-school competition. They crushed DaXia (Great Xia) University. Senior Sister Liu even had her arm broken. How could they do that to such a beautiful woman?" Jiang Xi spoke indignantly. "You?" Jiang Chen looked at his sister with a strange expression. Something felt off. "Brother, just listen to me. Joining DaXia (Great Xia) University is definitely the right choice. I can ask my teacher to apply for an additional world login for you. Then you'll have access to two worlds, and you'll definitely soar to new heights, beating all those Modu guys to a pulp," Jiang Xi continued, oblivious to Jiang Chen's gaze. Jiang Chen smiled and was about to respond when his eyebrow twitched, and his gaze suddenly shifted to the distance. "What's this?" He murmured with confusion crossing his face. "Brother, brother!" Jiang Xi, who had been enthusiastically imagining her brother's triumphant victory, noticed Jiang Chen's gaze shifting away. Her voice rose in protest. "It seems like a new dimensional descent is happening," Jiang Chen suddenly announced. "A new dimensional descent?" Jiang Xi was taken aback. "Yes!" Jiang Chen nodded. "Quick, quick, let's go over there. This is a rare opportunity." Hearing Jiang Chen's confirmation, Jiang Xi's eyes lit up, sparkling with excitement. Her attention was instantly diverted. Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and grabbed his sister's hand, and they dashed forward. ... Meanwhile, in the DaXia (Great Xia) Federation, DaXia Capital, Ministry of Education. As the ripples spread, piercing alarm sounds echoed through one of the most important institutions in the DaXia Federation. "Alert, alert! A Level 1 Descent is about to begin." "Target location is being determined." "Target location has been confirmed." "Shaoxin City, Jiangnan Prefecture." "Descent intensity is being assessed." "Assessment complete." "Current descent level: Overall, First Tier and Second Tier." "It's a dual descent!" "Contacting local garrison." "Detected dimensional descent in the capital of Jiangnan Prefecture!" "Descent intensity is being assessed." Mechanical voices echoed through the Ministry of Education of the DaXia Federation. Countless people hurried back and forth. ... Shaoxin City, City Lord's Mansion. "What?" "Another Second Tier Descent?" Xiong Kuiwu stood up abruptly, with shock written all over his face. "Yes, City Lord. The Ministry of Education has sent word of a dual descent. One of them is a Second Tier Descent, though the level is lower than last time— it seems to be an early Second Tier Descent. The other is only a First Tier Descent," Captain Wu Hao reported respectfully. "Early Second Tier and First Tier?" Hearing Wu Hao's words, Xiong Kuiwu breathed a sigh of relief. There was no helping it— the last descent had truly frightened him. If another peak Second Tier Descent occurred, he wasn't sure he could handle it. As for hoping that the same person would intervene again, who knew if that person was even still around? "Notify everyone immediately." "Begin the operation!" Xiong Kuiwu took a deep breath and quickly issued the order. (End of Chapter)
