Having lost to the team from Fifth Heaven City Comprehensive University two consecutive times in the group stages, Peacock University's morale took quite a hit, clearly demonstrating the disparity in strength between Peacock University and Xiyu University.
Recently, residents of Xiyu have changed their tune, specifically emphasizing the prowess of their university, that their students can receive a better education, and that in the future, Xiyu will be able to maintain its advantage over Zhongyu.
Even though there were scholars in Xiyu who argued that Zhongyu surpassing Xiyu was only a matter of time, the rulers of Xiyu firmly denied this, hoping that their hegemony could continue indefinitely.
At this critical juncture, Xiyu issued an administrative order requiring all universities in the nine Heavenly Cities to enroll at least half of their students from common races, who must be residents of Xiyu and have settled there for more than ten years.
