Star City Academy
Star City, center of the city.
Star City Academy.
After getting off the bus, Feng Qi dragged his luggage to the gate of Star City Academy.
The first thing he saw was a 20-meter-tall stone tablet with the characters “Star City Academy” engraved with lively and vigorous calligraphy on it.
As he strolled into the academy, the guards on duty at the gate blocked his way.
He was only let in after he handed out the letter.
After passing the gate, there was a marble road leading into the school. Along the way, there were many bronze statues standing on both sides.
They were all graduates from Star City Academy who had made outstanding contributions to human development. The inscriptions under the statue wrote their life stories.
Further in, there was was the lotus pond. It was summer, the peak season for lotus flowers to grow. Green leaves filled the pond and swayed in the wind.
Walking along the main road, Feng Qi took an hour to reach the dormitory building.
After arriving at the dormitory administrator’s office and handing over the letter, he quickly found his own residence.
Room 301 on the third floor.
The dormitory of Star City Academy were single rooms, but larger than his room in school and fully equipped with all facilities. The refrigerator was already stuffed with various drinks and food. The dormitory building was even equipped with a gym, psychological catharsis room, Internet room, and other facilities.
The room was very clean, so he didn’t need to clean it again. After putting down his luggage and putting his clothes in the closet, he opened the letter and called the receptionist at the academy.
The call went through after two rings. A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end.
“Who is this?”
“I’m a student from Star City High School. My name is Feng Qi…”
After hearing Feng Qi’s self-introduction, the person on the other end of the phone said,
“I understand. You probably haven’t systematically come into contact with cultivation courses, right? I’ll temporarily arrange for you to sit in for the cultivation exchange class. It will be very helpful for you. Take down the location of the classroom…”
“Alright, Teacher. I understand.”
After hanging up, he took a pen and noted down the address of the “cultivation exchange class” that the receptionist had mentioned.
He then glanced at the time, it was almost noon. He decided to go to the cafeteria in the academy to eat first, then go to the cultivation exchange class to take a look.
After leaving the dormitory, he asked for directions and walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at the cafeteria.
The cafeteria operated with buffet-style dining, and all the food was free. Feng Qi wasn’t surprised about this. After all, Star City Academy was nurturing the future elites of mankind. Among the graduates, there was no lack of excellent talents who had made outstanding contributions to human development, so the free food was completely understandable.
After taking a pile of delicious food, he found an empty seat and began to wolf them down.
At the same time, Feng Qi was attracted by a student who was also dining.
She had long black hair, a petite figure, and an exquisite face. However, what surprised him was that this senior sister’s table was filled with food scraps and she ate as if she was devouring mountains and rivers.
He also noticed that there was a rune crystal embedded in this senior’s right arm. It flickered as she ate.
After his body mutated, Feng Qi’s appetite became astonishing, but he felt that he was not on the same level as this lolita senior sister.
“How can such a small body eat food larger than itself? Won’t she feel bloated?”
At this moment, the girl who was eating suddenly turned to look at him.
When they met eyes, a fierce and wild aura surged over, causing Feng Qi to have the illusion that the person eating not far away was not a human, but a wild ferocious beast.
Feeling that it was impolite to watch her like this, he quickly lowered his head.
After the senior sister stared at Feng Qi for a while, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. Then, she continued to eat heartily.
After lunch, it was 12:30 pm.
The cultivation class was about to begin. After Feng Qi walked out of the cafeteria, he went straight to the cultivation exchange class.
The cultivation exchange class was half an hour away from the cafeteria. When he arrived at the class, it was already filled with students.
The moment he stepped, the students who were chatting suddenly fell silent and stared at him in unison.
This made Feng Qi feel a little awkward. He had only come to listen to the students discuss the content of cultivation. Now that he had become the center of attention, he really felt uncomfortable.
He wanted to find a seat to sit down, but just as he walked towards an empty seat, the student beside him said in confusion,
“Junior, go up and give a lecture. Why are you sitting down?”
“Do I have to speak too?” He looked stunned.
“If you won’t, who will?” The student also looked surprised.
Thinking that this was the practice of the cultivation exchange class where every newcomer had to explain their understanding of cultivation. Feng Qi could only brace himself and walk to the podium.
Looking at the seniors who were looking at him in unison, he pondered for a moment and said,
“My understanding of cultivation is very shallow. I have some shortcomings. Please bear with me.”
There was no applause or welcome. All the students wore cold expressions.
“What kind of attitude is that? Is this the quality of Star City Academy students? Who are you looking down on!” He couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
However, since it was a process for newcomers, he had to go through it. After pondering for a moment, Feng Qi thought of what to talk about.
He thought of another cultivation technique he had learned in the dream, the Ferocious Tiger Fist. He felt that other than this cultivation technique, there was really nothing else he could speak about.
Hence, he raised his head and decided to act cool.
“Next, let me tell you my understanding of body cultivation.
“Body cultivation is a cultivation method to temper the body to increase the strength of the bloodline. As one’s cultivation realm increases, the body will be impervious to fire and water, invulnerable to swords and spears…”
Listening to Feng Qi’s speech, the students’ expressions changed.
“Isn’t this the foundation? He’s not living up to his reputation.”
“Is this the exchange student from Winter Academy? Didn’t they say that he had already been accepted by the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance? Is this all he has?”
“As expected, everything is an exaggeration. If this is all it takes to be accepted by Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance, I can do it too!”
“I’m so disappointed. I thought the rumored Junior Lin Ran was so formidable, but it turns out that this class is a complete waste of my time.”
…
Because the content Feng Qi was narrating at this moment was the basic content of body cultivation in the video teaching the Ferocious Tiger Fist, it disappointed the students.
But soon, he got to the point.
“In the development of human martial arts, there was once the Xing Yi
Quan
. I think it can also be applied on body cultivation techniques. For example, in the form of a ferocious tiger, the fist technique is divided into five styles: chopping, drilling, crushing, exploding, and crossing. These five styles correspond to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If you practice these five styles, you can nurture the lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, and spleen. On the basis of conforming more to the rules of the human body’s life, you can strengthen the meridians and parts that are connected to the five viscera and six bowels. Especially when you connect the Conception and Governing Meridians, achieving free circulation of Spiritual Qi at will, you can further drive the exuberant Spiritual Qi in the entire body to circulate smoothly…”
Listening to Feng Qi’s analysis of the general outline of the Ferocious Tiger Fist, the students’ expressions gradually changed.
Because they discovered that Feng Qi really had something.
Not only did he have his own unique understanding of body cultivation, but he also expanded and explained the current body cultivation system.
At this moment, the students no longer dared to look down on Feng Qi. They opened their notebooks and listened while taking notes. Their expressions were especially serious, and they nodded from time to time in agreement with Feng Qi’s explanation.
…
At this moment, a young man around 17 or 18 years old rushed over from afar.
He was handsome, with black ebony-like pupils, a high and handsome nose. He had a gentle aesthetic appearance. At the same time, his face held a confident smile.
When he arrived at the classroom, Lin Ran was about to push the door open and enter when he heard someone teaching in the classroom. He was stunned.
“Have I come to the wrong class?”
Lin Ran glanced at the class name “Combat Class One” and was even more confused.
“That’s right, this is the place!”
Out of courtesy, he couldn’t enter the classroom casually when someone was speaking, so Lin Ran chose to stand outside the classroom and listen.
Listening to the “teacher” talk about body cultivation, Lin Ran’s clear eyes rippled, and he nodded in agreement from time to time.
“As expected of Star City Academy. The teachers here are so professional!”
