Chapter 248: Chapter 184: The Secret Realm Assessment Exclusive for Support Professionists!

Although Cui Xiabing’s voice wasn’t loud, it sounded particularly clear in the quiet classroom.

“Hello everyone, my name is Cui Xiabing, from Yunzhou Province. My profession is a nine-star Treant Herder; it’s nice to meet all of you.”

She sweetly smiled, then continued, “Also, I plan to participate in our class’s Ten Undercurrent War, and I intend to form a support class-majority club. I hope everyone will support me.”

At Cui Xiabing’s words, the students in the classroom immediately started excitedly discussing.

“Wow! Is Cui Xiabing really entering the Ten Undercurrent War?”

“That can’t be true, she’s a support class, how can she compete with those main combat professions?”

“A Treant Herder? I’ve never heard of this nine-star profession.”

“Me too, I haven’t heard about it…”

The classroom was filled with students’ commotion, but Cui Xiabing remained at the podium, saying, “What I want to prove is that we support class professionists are not weaker than any other profession.”

“So I have this idea. If there are students with the same thoughts, feel free to find me and let’s chat!”

While she said all this, her gaze shifted towards Zheng Cheng’s direction, even mischievously winking.

Zheng Cheng’s eyes moved, is she looking at me?

Am I that handsome?

Err, wrong. Cui Xiabing’s profession is a nine-star Treant Herder.

The Treant Herder profession… He had also looked it up in the library a few nights ago.

At the time it seemed like a very unique profession, so he made a special note of it.

Didn’t expect to encounter it today.

The Treant Herder, a nine-star profession, is one of the three Great Herders.

Naturally able to command the myriad of flora, herd across forests, even possess the terrifying ability to turn flora into spirits!

A multi-faceted support profession with recovery, summoning, and control abilities, even possessing a certain amount of attack power.

It’s simply the most perfect profession!

As for the three Great Herders, other than the Treant Herder, the other two are Mountain Herder and Sea Herder.

Herd across mountains and rivers, herd across the sea!

“Clap, clap, clap…”

Sun Wanqing applauded, “Thank you for introducing yourself, Cui Xiabing. I didn’t expect a student from our support college to participate in the Ten Undercurrent War. This is truly our support college’s glory.”

“I, as your teacher, will be your first supporter. If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, feel free to ask me.”

Cui Xiabing nodded and smiled, “Thank you, Professor Wanqing.”

“I support it too!”

A classmate stood up; it was the first student who introduced herself, Zhang Yingxin.

“I support it too!”

Xu Duoyi also stood, seriously saying, “I want to prove not only that the support class is stronger than the main combat class, but also that we girls are not weaker than boys!”

“That’s right! I feel the same.”

“Girls, why don’t we join together?”

“Yes, yes, yes! If we join together, we can study together, work hard together, and even eat and shop together…”

A group of girls immediately became excited, their expressions full of joy, as if they had found a common cause.

In the classroom corner, Zheng Cheng and brothers Zhuo Wen and Zhuo Wu’s faces slightly changed, bringing awareness.

Zheng Cheng’s expression became stranger, what’s going on, are there boxers in this world too?

Hope it’s not what I imagined it to be…

On the podium, Cui Xiabing smoothly stepped down.

While Sun Wanqing continued, “Seeing everyone so united makes me, as a teacher, very happy, so let’s continue…”

Soon after, another girl stepped forward.

“Hello everyone, my name is Wang Yimeng …”

“Hello everyone, I am…”

A dozen minutes later, it was finally the turn of the last three people.

Twenty-seven girls and one female teacher in the class were all looking at the last three at the back.

Zhuo Wen and Zhuo Wu were nearly crying, “Brother Cheng, what… what should we do…”

Zheng Cheng shrugged, “You two should go together, since you’re twins…”

“Okay, okay.”

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the two brothers braced themselves, walked on stage, and said, “Hello everyone, we’re twin brothers.”

“My name is Zhuo Wen.”

“My name is Zhuo Wu.”

“We both come from Jinling, and our profession is a seven-star Astral Spirit. We’re really happy… happy to meet everyone…”

The twin brothers’ introduction was stammered out. The twenty or so girls in the class watched them closely, dissecting the twins like prisoners under scrutiny.

“Twin brothers, they really do look alike.”

“Seven-star Astral Spirit, how did they end up in the support academy?”

“From all the known Astral Spirits, only two have healing and supportive skills, could it be…”

“They’re not that handsome. Otherwise, I’d like to try out the different flavors of the two brothers.”

The girls in the class chattered on, a few of the bolder girls even flirted a bit.

Frightened, the brothers Zhuo Wen and Zhuo Wu ran down from the podium, sweating profusely.

They had both lived in a martial arts school since they were young, so they didn’t often interact with girls.

Let alone suddenly having to face twenty or so beautiful girls.

Sun Wanqing laughed, “It seems that the boys in our class are very shy, well then, last student…”

“Whoosh…”

Twenty-eight gossip-filled eyes were all looking in one direction.

A good amount of them recognized Zheng Cheng, their eyes heating up.

Zheng Cheng shrugged, rose to his feet, and walked towards the podium.

“Wow … he’s so tall!”

“So handsome!”

“Such beautiful skin!”

“I feel like standing next to him makes for the cutest height difference…”

“Scram! I’m the one who matches him…”

Listening to the whispers of the girls around him, Zheng Cheng’s expression remained unchanged.

Perhaps related to his awakening, he had grown several centimeters taller in the past two months.

Now standing around 1.8 meters, with sharp eyebrows, a tall nose, and healthy rosy skin, he was absolutely handsome.

Attracting so many girls was just too easy for him.

As he walked to the podium and saw more than twenty pairs of eyes – some excited, some greedy – he began, “Hello classmates, my name is Zheng Cheng. I come from Qinzhou Province.”

“My profession… a three-star Priest!”

“Glad to meet all of you!”

“Whoa…!”

As soon as he finished his self-introduction, an even more enthusiastic clamor arose from the audience than when Cui Xiabing had introduced herself.

“A three-star Priest? That’s fake, right?”

“How could a three-star Priest come to the Special Division of Beijing National Vocational University?”

“Even if he was recruited, it’d be to the Special College…”

“That’s fake! He’s lying! I have a friend who told me that Zheng Cheng’s profession is a nine-star Divine Battle Priest!”

“Exactly, otherwise how could he beat so many challengers, and they’re all seven or eight star main battle professions!”

“Wow! He’s so handsome, it would be great if I could be his girlfriend…”

“Scram! Shameless woman!”

Hearing the discussion from the audience, Zheng Cheng remained unmoved.

He had long known that his profession, regardless of star level or strength, would be questioned and doubted by everyone.

Zheng Cheng said helplessly, “You can guess however you want.”

He was just about to step down from the stage when Cui Xiabing suddenly stood up and said, “Zheng Cheng, you’re also one of the freshmen with S-level treatment from the Special College. Are you interested in participating in the Top Ten Hidden Dragon Competition?”

“Oh?”

Zheng Cheng was interested and asked, “Whether or not I participate, it seems it has nothing to do with you.”

“Of course it does.”

Cui Xiabing said, “If you participate, we’ll be competitors. Naturally, I’ll have to study you.”

“After all, we’re both students of the Special College, so competition is inevitable.”

“If you don’t participate, that would make things easier.”

“I formally invite you to join my club… provided that I successfully secure a position in the Top Ten Hidden Dragons!”

Something flashed in Zheng Cheng’s eyes. Was Cui Xiabing really that confident?

He shook his head and said, “I’ve already decided to participate in the Top Ten Hidden Dragon Competition.”

Cui Xiabing’s beautiful eyes dimmed a bit. She shook her head and said, “That’s really a pity… Zheng Cheng, from now on, we’ll be competitors.”

“Until the dust settles on the Top Ten Hidden Dragon Competition!”

Zheng Cheng nodded and said, “I look forward to your challenge.”

“Alright classmates.” Sun Wanqing spoke up again, “Everyone’s self-introductions are over. On behalf of the school, I would like to welcome you all once again!”

“Clap clap clap clap…”

The applause continued, and Zheng Cheng took the opportunity to return to his seat.

Along the way, at least a dozen pairs of burning eyes were on him.

“Wow! Brother Cheng, you’re amazing! Even Cui Xiabing wants to challenge you!”

Barely seated, Zhuo Wen was already excitedly leaning toward him.

Zheng Cheng asked, “You guys know Cui Xiabing well?”

“Brother Cheng, don’t you read the school newspaper?”

“School newspaper?”

Zheng Cheng remembered the pile of newspapers that showed up at the door of his villa each day, guessing they were the school newspapers Zhuo Wen was talking about.

Unfortunately these days had been too busy, he had hardly had time to check.

Zhuo Wen continued, “The school newspaper is a magazine issued by the school’s propaganda department, available online as well. It records incidents between students in the school.”

“In recent days, the hottest topic in the school paper has been the Top Ten Hidden Dragon Competition!”

“The records of all freshmen who are qualified to participate in the Top Ten Hidden Dragon Competition are in the school paper.”

“Some stuff about profession level, profession info and so on, it’s all there.”

“You’re on there!”

“I see.”

Zheng Cheng nodded, it seemed he had to check it out when he got home.

“Classmates.”

Sun Wanqing continued, “Starting from tomorrow you guys will begin your new learning journey, I hope everyone can quickly get into a studying mindset.”

“Apart from the compulsory courses and practical exercises of our Special College, we also have optional courses for students to choose from.”

“Regarding optional courses, I highly recommend ‘Modern War Military Theory’.”

“Of course, there are optional courses like ‘Battlefield Medical First Aid’, ‘Post-War Psychological Counselling’, ‘Health Administration’, ‘Special Food Nutrition and Health’, etc.”

“You can log into the official school website and use the Special College’s internal network to make your choices. Each person can only choose three optional courses. The selection for each course is also limited.”

Sun Wanqing smiled and said, “As for Cui Xiabing and Zheng Cheng, you two have priority. Whatever optional courses you guys want to take, you can take!”

The students in the classroom began to discuss once again, this time all voices full of envy.

“There’s one more thing.”

Sun Wanqing continued, “In one month’s time, all the colleges within the school will be conducting a Secret Realm assessment, our Special College is no exception.”

“Our own Secret Realm assessment for professionists!”

“After that, the Top Ten Hidden Dragon Competition that all students are looking forward to will take place!”

As Sun Wanqing’s voice fell, something stirred in Zheng Cheng’s heart.

“A Secret Realm assessment specifically for professionists?”
