When Hao Jianhua saw this name, he immediately became alert.
"Could it be such a coincidence?"
"Is it him again?"
"Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"
But the international prestige of Atlantis University was indeed extraordinary. Many business magnates had studied at that university!
The birthplace and gathering place of various types of scientists!
It housed some of the world’s top research teams. Many influential international research projects and patents came from this university.
If compared with it, Hao Jianhua felt he was not as prestigious internationally. More accumulation of history and producing a few more luminaries were necessary.
If an academic exchange could be held with them, it would naturally enhance knowledge and broaden horizons. The opportunity was truly rare.
After all, according to the schedule previously announced by Atlantis University, reservations for academic exchanges had already been filled up for six months, with some universities being outright rejected without an appointment.
Now that Atlantis University had proactively approached Hao Jianhua, he was both overjoyed and a bit worried!
He was worried because he had just returned from Shenzhao University, having endured the Jingli Mountain volcano incident, and Imperial Capital University was almost surrounded by reporters. If the Security Bureau hadn’t intervened, it wouldn’t have been resolved quickly.
In the afternoon, Hao Jianhua convened a full faculty management meeting.
Directors from various departments gathered in one office.
The scene was abuzz, with everyone looking at each other, discussing the invitation from Atlantis University.
"Principal, the news has been confirmed. It is indeed an official announcement from Atlantis University!"
"Unbelievable, that Atlantis University would take the initiative to send an invitation!!"
"Yes, we were all very surprised and even thought the principal had been scammed!"
"Indeed, it is hard to believe. Atlantis University had never unilaterally invited any institution to an academic exchange before! It’s always other universities who want to go there for exchange and learning."
"Could it be that the academic exchange with Shenzhao University had substantial progress in some areas, or maybe some academic papers piqued their interest?"
The directors discussed it extensively, but none could guess the motives of Atlantis University.
This troubled Hao Jianhua as well. He always felt something was very suspicious, seemingly targeting Lin Beichen, with a hint of conspiracy theory!
But accompanied by over forty top students from various departments, almost all had achieved significant academic results or published academic papers in some field.
Among them, some had invented patents acquired by hundreds of listed research companies.
"Could it really be just academic exchange?"
Hao Jianhua softly asked himself, though the directors nearby heard it.
They looked at him puzzledly, "What else could it be?"
Hao Jianhua quickly regained his composure, realizing he couldn’t share his suspicions about Lin Beichen with them, so he shook his head, smiled, and vaguely replied that he didn’t know, thus brushing it aside.
This meeting was not about whether to go or not.
But to discuss the academic exchange’s contents, inviting department directors who had batches of excellent top students, many of whom were on this list.
At the same time, at Imperial Capital University’s gymnasium.
Lin Beichen came alone to this vast place. Since returning from the Security Bureau’s assessment, he hadn’t engaged in any contemplation.
It could be said that after breaking through to the Fire Element’s Third Realm, he had relaxed for a while.
Obviously, part of the reason was that Lin Beichen hadn’t sensed any opportunities for any other Element. He didn’t know what the next Element might be!
Nor did he have a specific Element he aimed to understand. Searching for such documentation was impossible as there were simply no articles on capturing Elements for body refining!
Even if there were, they would be scams!
He could only find the opportunities bit by bit, then achieve enlightenment. Going from something to nothing was a very challenging process.
Even with exceptional insight, it required tiny sparks to ignite the entire prairie.
Returning to the university, he had made up for the missed classes in the shortest possible time, catching up and surpassing the leading students, completing the coursework!
Eventually, he achieved a perfect assessment score. The course teacher acknowledged that his attendance was optional.
With the foundation laid by the university physics course, Lin Beichen had gained a new understanding of the connection between nature and the universal principles.
So he came to the gymnasium to see if he could attempt to break through to the Electric Element’s Fourth Realm!
With each advancement in Realm, power would grow by orders of magnitude.
As of now, with the Fire Element, Gold Element, and Electric Element all advancing to the Third Realm, his lungs, liver, and heart had been refined.
Even without using Elemental Power, Lin Beichen’s physique far surpassed that of ordinary people!
Moreover, with the breakthrough of the Fire Element, refining the heart seemed to have enhanced the heart’s bursting power, expanding the blood vessels in his limbs, making him stronger and more agile!
This led Lin Beichen to speculate on the power the Electric Element’s Fourth Realm might have.
Or from the First Realm’s Visualization Realm to the Second Realm’s Palm Thunder, the Reverse Truth Realm, understanding and controlling worldly Elements!
Then to the Third Realm’s Transcendence Realm, where Elemental Power materialized into forms, and with the breakthrough of the other two Realms, the forms could be released outside the body!
