Chapter 1255: Chapter 1253: Netherworld University

Netherworld University, as the top university for players oriented towards the Undead, doesn’t look particularly impressive on the surface.

The gate is an ordinary stone-built gate, with the words "Netherworld University" written on the side.

When Gu Xi arrived, it was just when students were going to classes, a large number of students in black robes, clutching or carrying books, were walking into the gate from all directions.

Gu Xi and Tang Shuang dressed in black robes, blending into the crowd, were not conspicuous at all.

"Hurry up, after registering you, there are still many things to do, if we don’t speed up, we won’t finish today."

Tang Shuang hurriedly dragged Gu Xi forward.

However, Gu Xi kept looking around, seemingly observing this academy which looked like an ordinary university.

Upon entering this Netherworld University, Gu Xi always had a feeling that the eeriness here seemed inferior to the Nether Bone Wind Academy he graduated from.

At least at the Nether Bone Wind Academy, decorations filled with Undead style could be seen everywhere, and occasionally a chilling wind blew, accompanied by the sound of Ghosts.

The place in front of him had no difference from an ordinary university.

There was no trace of the Undead aura.

Yet Gu Xi dared not think so lightly, for Netherworld University being ranked first in the Undead Element must not be a simple existence.

Therefore, when approaching the university gate, Gu Xi was there observing.

Initially, Gu Xi thought the mystery lay in the gate of the campus, after all, the City Gate was the first to be deployed onto the battlefield in Death City.

But once he entered through the gate, Gu Xi found out things were not as he imagined.

The gate was just an ordinary gate, but the path beyond the gate was astonishing.

Despite all the students being used to it, Gu Xi distinctly noticed that the floor, paved with ancient checkerboard tiles, represented bridges on a river.

Buried beneath the tiles were indeed graduation theses of some students, placed into the Primordial Body’s Nether River or Yellow Springs.

One tile represented a Nether River or a Yellow Springs, spanning from the gate to the campus’s tallest office building, with a path over three thousand meters long.

Just thinking about the sheer number of square tiles, each measuring forty-five centimeters on each side, made Gu Xi’s scalp tingle.

At this point, Gu Xi finally realized the terrifying heritage of Netherworld Academy.

On both sides of this tiled avenue, every ten meters, a peach tree was planted.

These peach trees appeared ordinary, with nothing unusual.

However, having just undergone the Peach Mountain Origin Body’s enlightenment, Gu Xi was quite sensitive to the aura of Peach Mountain, he could perceive that there was a faint aura of Peach Mountain on each peach tree.

Simultaneously, Gu Xi also sensed different auras present here, yet was somewhat uncertain about their nature.

But he could be sure they seemed like the Flame Domain he mastered, an elemental type aura.

Upon realizing this, Gu Xi understood how wrong his initial judgment was before entering.

This prompted Gu Xi to scan the surroundings for traces left by the Undead in this university.

With Tang Shuang tugging him forward, he could afford to divert more attention outward, observing everything about Netherworld University.

Not yet halfway across, Gu Xi heard a voice.

"That’s enough, if you keep looking, you might get lost in it and never come out."

Hearing this voice, Gu Xi’s heart calmed, raising his head to find several people in black robes standing not far away.

On their left arm was a red armband.

Gu Xi was about to speak but was held back by Tang Shuang.

"That’s the student council, though you’re applying for research student status, granting you more freedom, it’s best not to conflict with them."

Gu Xi nodded, greeted the black-robed individuals courteously.

"Thank you very much."

"No problem, it’s part of our task, as every year, new students get enamored by the school’s setup and we end up rescuing them."

The black-robed individuals spoke while scrutinizing Gu Xi.

He seemed to mock Gu Xi, implying he’d been in the place long enough yet hadn’t adapted to the school’s rules.

This disdainful attitude was clearly felt by Gu Xi.

Even without using the Spirit Lamp’s vision, Gu Xi could sense some of their thoughts.

Yet, this was normal, for Gu Xi’s current Level was merely 11.

By typical standards, he should have the senior level of Netherworld University.

Being concurrently mixed with freshmen likely meant he couldn’t pass exams and only got through due to his Level.

Such students had little potential left.

Offending them was insignificant.

And truthfully, they hadn’t offended Gu Xi but had saved him from a minor crisis.

Raising their eyebrow was no big deal.

Gu Xi held no dissatisfaction towards their attitude.

Gu Xi was not the type to confront others recklessly.

Even with unpleasant attitudes, he expressed gratitude.

Following Tang Shuang ahead, towards the school’s main building.

As Gu Xi walked away, the one who had startled him squinted his eyes.

"Quite a character."

The waves of sound carried to Gu Xi’s ears, yet he paid no heed.

As there wasn’t any further observation of the school’s setup, Gu Xi and Tang Shuang’s pace visibly quickened.

Soon, led by Tang Shuang, Gu Xi reached the admissions office near the office building.

"Junior Brother Gu, your situation can be handled by three offices: the Admissions Office, the Education Committee, or finding a suitable research advisor and taking the direct recruitment route.

However, given the current conditions, the Admissions Office is the simplest.

The Education Committee requires applying for class transfers, ultimately leading to finding an advisor as a guide.

Currently, most advisors are fully scheduled.

They can’t find suitable positions temporarily even if there’s individual vacancy, it may not suit you.

Finding a suitable research advisor on your own faces the same issue.

If you could truly find one, you wouldn’t be uninformed and aim for enrollment only next year.

Thus, you should approach the Admissions Office, directly explain your circumstances and let them handle it.

Considering your situation now, it’s exactly in line with their special admission requirements."

Tang Shuang, while speaking, handed last year’s admissions brochure to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi had already reviewed this admissions brochure last night.

In the special admissions section, there’s a rule that pre-Level 5 candidates following the Lord of the Underworld path can be recruited directly, Level 5 enrollee is admitted directly as undergraduate, Level 10 applicant enrols directly as a research student.

Now holding this admissions brochure again, Gu Xi nodded assuredly, stepping forward to gently knock on the Admissions Office door of Netherworld University.
