After the morning opening ceremony, classes began in the afternoon.
During the first week of school, only four required courses were taken. The optional courses needed to be decided after the first week and then submitted. Students unsure of what to choose needed to consult teachers, and the school had distributed a form listing advisory teachers for this purpose.
Xiang Beifei had already decided on his elective courses. He chose to start with three, "Amazing System Items Appreciation," "Basic Treatment (for non-medical systems)," and "Formation Knowledge Introduction."
Everyone's electives varied, and would depend on their awakened system and their future career paths. Unlike others, Xiang Beifei didn't have a specific system, so he chose the three courses he needed to master at the moment.
Understanding treatment-related abilities was essential, and an appreciation of system items was indispensable. He chose Formation Knowledge Introduction because he had been transported to an outer domain wilderness last time and needed to understand the abilities of teleportation formations.
As for defense courses, Elder Luo had mentioned he would figure something out, but he didn't specify what, just that Xiang Beifei didn't need to choose any defense courses yet.
This made Xiang Beifei's schedule somewhat lighter. He didn't want to take too many classes, as he needed to spend remaining time practicing spiritual power with Elder Luo and cultivating his spiritual power to advance his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
Today there was only one required class, "Desolate Beast Cognition and Anatomy," giving everyone time to get familiar with the campus environment.
The Martial Arts College did not have separate majors but did have classes divided, with a hundred people per class. His dormitory mates were all placed in the same class, in Class Eight, which had three SRs.
"Shall we go together? It's a mandatory class, on the way," Li Zimu said to Xiang Beifei, holding his textbook.
"Sure."
Xiang Beifei packed his backpack, stuffing his books into it.
"Let's go, the desolate beast class is in the Dashang Building," Meng Yuekai said with a smile. He had not yet caused any trouble for Xiang Beifei and seemed to have a fairly good attitude towards him.
Long Guocheng scoffed coldly, picking up a book arrogantly and walking out. From the moment he woke up, his gaze had been avoiding Xiang Beifei's, but since Li Zimu and Meng Yuekai were there, he felt slightly more at ease.
Long Guocheng silently vowed that he would face Xiang Beifei head-on!
With thunderous spectacle, with all laws of the universe!
And win their stare-down!
Xiang Beifei also heard those comments. Now everyone knew he practiced body cultivation, but among the freshmen, none dared to provoke a body cultivator like him.
This saved him some trouble, as he had no interest in dealing with these new students. For these freshmen, S-tier awakeners were only at the early stage of Qi-Controlling, and SR-tier at the middle stage. Their system items were useless to him.
Of course, if anyone was foolish, he would gladly take their rewards to feed to Xiaohei. Xiaohei had a good appetite, accepting anything, and since he, as a body cultivator, had poor natural talent, nobody could suspect it was him.
The attention on Li Zimu and Meng Yuekai was comparatively lesser, but only in relation to the N-level Xiang Beifei and the aloof Long Guocheng. After all, they were still SR geniuses and could not be underestimated.
Li Zimu was relatively quiet and gentle, liking nothing more than reading. Yet he could discern a person's traits from their writing and was quite accurate in seeing people for who they were.
He was present during yesterday's incident between Xiang Beifei and Long Guocheng and had a slight understanding of Long Guocheng's current mood, though he chose not to point it out.
Meng Yuekai, on the other hand, was cheerful and outgoing, happily chatting with other students. He had high emotional intelligence, and when interacting with S-tier and R-tier students, he maintained a calm demeanor and spoke appropriately, which flattered those of lesser talent.
[Your conversation invigorated Zhang Cheng, excitement level +20]
He was tactful, knowing exactly what to say to better accomplish his system's missions.
The four were watched all the way to the classroom.
The classroom was large. Meng Yuekai chose a middle seat, conveniently placed for conversations with his classmates to accumulate system points.
Li Zimu liked reading, so he sat in the front row. Long Guocheng initially wanted to sit in the foremost middle seat because he needed to be in the "Spotlight," but noticing that Xiang Beifei had taken the last row behind him, meaning he would end up looking at him during the class.
