“Brother He is too humble.”
“Brother Su, likewise.”
“Then it’s settled. This month, we’ll aim to break through to the Middle Stage. If we succeed, we’ll team up when we challenge the entrance!”
“Haha, I couldn’t ask for more!”
The wolf cub, baring its fangs, bowed to the great turtle.
The great turtle nodded its head repeatedly at the wolf cub, pawing at the ground with both hands, returning the bow in a dignified manner.
This scene was very interesting.
A human soul inhabiting a monster’s body—every word and action would indeed develop in an absurd direction.
“Whoosh!”
A Golden Steel Eagle descended from the sky, bringing with it a swirling hurricane.
The Magus nearby naturally stopped their training, one after another casting curious glances.
“Teacher Lin, why are you here instead of slacking off at the entrance?”
Wu Ye, clad in white, emerged from the shade, a hint of surprise on his face.
He was the instructor specifically responsible for physical education classes.
Seeing that the Golden Steel Eagle’s talons were still clutching a young man, he paused, then tentatively asked in return:
“Could it be… a new student?”
“Yes.”
Lin Yanyan transformed back into her human form, a faint smile gracing her lips.
“Are you sure?”
Wu Ye returned a look of suspicion, attempting to communicate with his eyes.
The subtext in his gaze was: A hundred days have passed since the sealing of the corpse. Those who are stuck at the final hurdle to become a First-Order Magus usually only have human potential. How could they be qualified to be assigned to the Day Gold Class? This is unreasonable.
Lin Yanyan smiled ambiguously: “Are you questioning my fairness?”
“No.” Wu Ye waved his hands repeatedly, “Since he’s registered, I suppose it’s in line with the rules. I’m just curious.”
“I was curious too, so I personally brought him over.”
Lin Yanyan patted Ning Zhu’s shoulder and said openly:
“Here, these are all your classmates.”
“You’re all adults now, so I’ll leave the self-introductions to you.”
“Alright, thank you, Teacher Lin, for making the special trip.”
Ning Zhu thanked Lin Yanyan, then, holding his bamboo umbrella, walked step by step towards Wu Ye and his strangely shaped classmates, saying calmly:
“I am Ning Zhu, a Pseudo-Earth Species.”
“My deceased father was once a High-Level Hunter, so I enjoy policy support and am fortunate enough to join the Day Gold Class.”
“For the next two years, I ask for much guidance from all the instructors and classmates. We are a community of shared interests, and I am more than willing to help each other within our capabilities.”
Round Shield Turtle, Howling Wind Wolf, Bull Hercules… the various demonic bodies exchanged glances.
There were thirty-nine people in the class, all of them Earth Species.
The latest to report had arrived a month and a half ago.
Everyone thought the class roster was already fixed, but they didn’t expect to make up a round number on the last day—it was quite sudden.
“Welcome! A warm welcome!”
On the track, a white elephant curled its long trunk, letting out a deafening bellow.
It was still young, just a small elephant.
Its silvery-white body was almost hairless, and its skin was extremely thick. The latent, robust vitality within it made anyone who approached feel a jolt in their heart.
“Pfft!”
Great Strength Elephant transformed back into his human form. He was a big boy, one meter ninety tall, with broad shoulders and a stocky build, sporting an eye-catching crew cut of silver hair.
He rushed over excitedly, punching Ning Zhu in the chest, and loudly exclaimed:
“Let me introduce you all, this is my good buddy!”
“You rascal, making a grand entrance on the last day, you had me so worried!”
Saying that, Xu Lihao punched Ning Zhu in the chest again, making him twitch his lips and his eyelids jump wildly.
His current body had spared no expense to seal the Necromancy Apprentice.
Xu Lihao was one of his few good friends and brothers, and he had been urging him for a long time to act within his means, not to lose his life over something trivial.
But Ning Zhu had been headstrong, listening to no one, and the two had even fought over it, with their relationship becoming very strained for a period.
Now… it was considered water under the bridge.
Standing here, Xu Lihao understood better than anyone else what it meant.
“Welcome, new classmate.”
A ‘Swift Leopard’ with black and white spots transformed back into her human form; she was a woman.
She wore a single ponytail and loose athletic clothing, her delicate and refined demeanor a stark contrast to her wild demonic body.
“I am Chu Wenxin, the vice class monitor of Day Gold Class Three.”
“This ‘Battlefield Lion’ is our class monitor, Zhao Jun. If you have any questions when you first enter Mirage Tower, feel free to ask us for help.”
Hearing this, the sweating Battlefield Lion rose from his prone position, transforming back into his human form, a trace of fatigue lingering on his handsome face:
“Hello, Ning Student.”
“My apologies, I’m exhausted, so my voice is very weak.”
“Wenxin is right. If you encounter any difficult issues in the future, feel free to come to us for discussion. We are all in the same class, and working together is the best way.”
“Then I’ll thank the class monitor and vice class monitor in advance.”
Ning Zhu smiled, a hint of surprise hidden in his eyes.
They were all Earth Species, so the time they entered Mirage Tower wouldn't be drastically different.
Looking around, the other classmates were still in the Inferior Species Initial Stage, while only Zhao Jun and Chu Wenxin had reached the Inferior Species Middle Stage.
These two… must have very deep pockets!
Only by purchasing expensive auxiliary resources could they be so far ahead with similar aptitudes!
“Cough, cough.”
Wu Ye coughed, reminding them in due course:
“Teacher Lin, the person has been delivered. I need to continue teaching. You can go back.”
“Don’t rush.”
Lin Yanyan’s heels seemed welded to the ground, and she said with a bright smile:
“A new student joining, and it’s a physical education class.”
“According to tradition, shouldn’t we have a practical combat session to liven up the atmosphere?”
“Practical combat? Alright! Let’s get hyped, let’s get hyped!”
Howling Wind Wolf and Round Shield Turtle did not transform back into human form. They exchanged glances, their spirits high:
“Wu Shi (Instructor Wu)! We wholeheartedly approve!”
“Ning Student’s demonic body’s strength and weakness, his 擅長的領域, and the firmness of his will… all can be demonstrated through practical combat. Talking more is not as good as having a fight. It is indeed a traditional process for joining the Day Gold Class!”
“What business is it of yours? Do you think the training volume is too little?”
Wu Ye glared at the Howling Wind Wolf, who had been the first to make a ruckus. The Howling Wind Wolf shrank its neck, a humanized look of embarrassment appearing on its wolf face.
“Wu Shi (Instructor Wu), we support it too!”
“Wu Shi (Instructor Wu), I remember when I first reported, it was also a physical education class in the morning, and the one I sparred with was the vice class monitor. I was beaten until I was looking for my teeth on the ground, did I say anything? The traditional program cannot be omitted!”
More and more people were watching the fun, not caring about the trouble.
Xu Lihao glanced at Ning Zhu, saw his calm expression, and understood.
He cleared his throat, put on a stern face, and openly sang a different tune:
“Hey, hey, hey! What are you all doing?”
“A Zhu just advanced to First-Order Magus. You old-timers who have been cultivating for one or two months, you wouldn’t bully a newcomer like this, would you?”
“Whoever is itching for a fight, come spar with me. I’ll see it through to the end!”
“Tsk~”
Howling Wind Wolf, He Linfeng, and Round Shield Turtle, Su Cheng, raised their wolf paws and turtle claws in disdain respectively:
“You’re a future siege beast, thick-skinned and tough. Who wants to fight you?”
“With an instructor present, safety is guaranteed.”
“Ning Student, don’t chicken out, come have a fight, I guarantee you’ll feel invigorated!”
