Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Literary Dao and Martial Dao



Yang Hua was still waiting for Kong Xiuwen's response when Kong Xiuwen, surprised by Yang Hua's sudden change of attitude toward him, had yet to recover.

After a moment, Kong Xiuwen shook his head, "No need, teacher, I'm used to sitting at the back, and it's quite nice sitting with Xiang Beifei."

Yang Hua glanced at Xiang Beifei and continued, "You and he are not on the same level. Sitting together won't do you any good."

Kong Xiuwen shook his head again, "No need, thank you for your kindness, teacher, but really, it's not necessary."

After saying that, he sat down and gave Xiang Beifei a thumbs-up gesture.

Seeing that Kong Xiuwen had declined, Yang Hua felt slightly displeased but did not show it further and said, "Xiang Beifei, you should feel lucky that someone with an S-class talent is willing to sit with you. But you should be aware of not influencing him negatively, I will keep an eye on you."

Xiang Beifei didn't mind and just quietly looked at his book.

As usual, before starting the class, Yang Hua liked to point out others' faults to increase his prestige value.

He would overlook students with R-class systems and specifically target those with N-class for criticism.

"Don't worry about him, I've got your back from now on," Kong Xiuwen said quietly.

Xiang Beifei smiled.

Kong Xiuwen had grown up with him since childhood. Although Kong Xiuwen had awakened an S-class system and had shot straight to the top, he did not disdain him, an "N-class" Awakener. Instead, he was quite righteous—yesterday, he had even planned to give Xiang Beifei the awakening elixir he got.

Such a person was indeed worthy of true friendship.

"You just keep pushing," Xiang Beifei said.

"Let's push together! I'm not the same as before; I'll let you in on a little secret, I've reached the Qi-Controlling state, and I'm now a formal cultivator. If anyone bullies you, just come to me, and when I make it big, I'll take you along for the ride!" Kong Xiuwen declared boldly.

"Okay."

Xiang Beifei nodded.

Only by choosing a university that matches the characteristics of your own system can you attend a truly good university.

"You have just awakened your systems; over the next few days, you should carefully consider which area your system tends more toward. You must determine what general type your system is, and don't just impulsively decide it belongs to something like the plant industry and then go apply to a martial arts university, as it will only hinder your future!"

Yang Hua said sternly.

Xiang Beifei was reminded of his past world.

This was somewhat similar to choosing a major during the college entrance exams back then.

In the former world, there were no systems, and when choosing a major, many relied on their parents' suggestions.

Some parents wished their children to pursue respectable professions like doctors, so they forced their children into medical studies. As a result, the children, having no interest in medicine, struggled through college and could only end up selling medications or changing careers after graduation.

Also, some students couldn't get into the major they wanted and were adjusted to other majors. Facing a major they disliked and unable to meet the conditions to switch majors, they gave up on themselves, essentially equating graduation with unemployment.

But in this system world, such problems would be much less common.

Because everyone chooses their university based on the characteristics of their system, which creates a very purposeful approach, and parents would not force their children to apply for a major they dislike.As long as the students themselves aren't stubborn, they would normally be able to get into a suitable university.

"Teacher, what if one can't discern whether their system is more suited to the liberal arts or the martial arts, then what?" Kong Xiuwen raised his hand and asked.

Kong Xiuwen's "Bald System" was S-rank, but his system did not readily indicate which path to take—it seemed viable for both the literary Dao and the martial Dao.

Seeing that it was Kong Xiuwen who asked, Yang Hua explained patiently, "This is what I am going to talk about next. Each person must undergo a 'System School Selection Consultation'.

Starting today, the school will arrange experienced system counselors to help you understand your own systems on a one-on-one basis. You don't need to tell the counselors what your system is; you just need to ask them any questions you don't understand."

"Counselors will protect your privacy and won't leak any information about your consultation. You can rest assured about that. All participating counselors are discreet and will not delve into matters they are not supposed to ask about. However, you too must learn to weigh your questions carefully."

Yang Hua's words prompted the entire class to start whispering among themselves.

Everyone had only awakened their systems the day before, and many didn't fully understand what their systems were exactly.

The System School Selection Consultation was undoubtedly a great help for these novices.
