University Rankings

An ordinary-looking young man walked in. He was not tall, and there was no trace of Dharma Skeleton on him.

However, no one present dared to underestimate him, not only because of his Foundation Establishment Domain, but also because his entire body was currently enveloped in a bubble-like substance, shimmering with the brilliance of Law Treasure.

The next moment, the other person's voice rang in everyone's ears. "I am Ji Yuan Shu."

Ji Yuan Shu: I don't want to come into contact with the air on the Second Layer, so I used the Wind Stabilizing Pearl to isolate myself from the changes in the surrounding airflow. Please don't get too close to me!

Ji Yuan Shu: I can hear you talking, and I can also transmit my voice directly to you!

The crowd looked at Ji Yuan Shu somewhat bewildered, but Gongshu Jin eventually stood up and took the initiative to welcome him, after which they introduced themselves to each other!

Gongshu Jin frowned inwardly. "A guy from the Layer 6, why is he in the Civil Engineering Department? Tch, this means he'll definitely be number one in the class!"

Meanwhile, Ji Geshu looked around and thought to himself, "Apart from Gongshu Jin, there's nothing worth paying attention to. From now on, these people are not in my league!"

"As for this Gongshu Jin... to avoid unnecessary losses, it's best to consult with him first!"

Looking at Gongshu Jin surrounded by everyone, Ji Yuan Shu transmitted his voice directly, "I will transfer to the Finance Department after I get first place in the Foundation Establishment Class for three years in the Civil Engineering Department!"

Gongshu Jin smiled slightly and nodded upon hearing this.

He knew that after the other person left, he would be number one in the class, and he would monopolize the class's number one prize every year!

As for the first three years...

Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Three years less isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least it guarantees the next seven years and also avoids conflict with the other side."

"Besides, this guy might be able to help me out after he goes to the Finance Department!"

Three years before Ji Yuan Shu and seven years after Gongshu Jin, in just two encounters, it seemed that the reward for the top student in the Foundation Establishment Class for the next ten years had already been decided!

As for the other students in the class, they naturally didn't take them seriously!

As Zhang Yu was watching the Sixth Layer Lord, he suddenly noticed Yu Xinghan patting his shoulder and saying in surprise, "Zhang Yu, look, a Sixth Layer Foundation Establishment Student has come in."

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes and muttered, "What the hell? How long was the delay? You're only seeing it now?"

Meanwhile, as everyone gradually started chatting again, Li Xiao suggested, "How about we have a meal together after the class meeting today?"

He genuinely wanted to build rapport with these Upper Level students and integrate into their circle!

But Ying Xin just scoffed and said, "Ten Thousand Laws University doesn't do that kind of thing!"

Gongshu Jin smiled and took out a pill, saying, "Besides taking medicine, I only eat Grain Avoidance Pill every day!"

Ji Yuan Shu said calmly, "I can control my body's digestive system; I don't need any external aids and I have no need to eat!"

Feeling the mocking gazes of those around him, Li Xiao blushed slightly, realizing he had made a fool of himself again, and felt even more resentful of his status as Layer 1 person!

Just then, with the arrival of a Golden Core Domain, the Foundation Establishment Class teacher arrived!

The Golden Core Jiao Lei True Person, has entered within 10 meters of you. Please remain still to avoid accidental injury!

Like the Foundation Establishment Domain of the previous individuals, this Golden Core True Person also proactively reduced the range of his Golden Core Domain!

This was a humanoid figure enveloped in electric light. The moment he appeared in the classroom, his gaze locked onto Ji Yuan Shu!

The messages from their respective friends instantly appeared on their Eye Remains!

Jiao Lei True Person: Yuan Shu, it's been a long time. How is Grandmaster?

Ji Yuan Shu: Master has recently gained another 10 years of lifespan and is in a very good mood!

Through their Eye Remains contact, the two exchanged pleasantries without anyone else knowing!

Jiao Lei True Person then looked at the many students present and said, "I am Jiao Lei True Person, and I will be your homeroom teacher from now on!"

"Among those present are students who have been studying at this school for several years, and also freshmen who have just graduated from high school!"

"I'll treat everyone as freshmen and say everything that needs to be said!"

"After school starts tomorrow, the next three months will be a unified Foundation Establishment Realm course!"

"After the three-month course ends, you can choose your own courses!"

"You can graduate as long as you complete the required credits during your 10 years at the university!"

"But now that you've all entered the Foundation Establishment Class, I think graduation is just the minimum requirement for you. Taking the postgraduate entrance exam and obtaining professional certifications should be your primary goals. The first year of Foundation Establishment is the most crucial year, so you can start planning for the future now!"

Zhang Yu listened attentively as Jiao Lei True Person explained matters such as credits and course selection!

Then the other party started talking about things to note regarding school rankings!

"Rankings are a reflection of your academic achievements at school!"

"The ranking is a comprehensive assessment based on completed course credits, grades, and extracurricular competitions, projects, and other factors." "Then, according to different levels of achievement, starting from the most basic... for example, the ranking of our Foundation Establishment Class!"

"Next comes the rankings for the entire Civil Engineering Department, regardless of year. This is generally the domain of upperclassmen; it will be a few years before it's your turn to compete!"

"Then comes the overall ranking of the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering College, and then the interdisciplinary ranking across the entire university!"

"The various Rankings are updated daily and finalized at the end of each academic year, with awards given to the top-ranked students..."

"Everyone here is a first-year student at Chikujin High School, so don't even think about other rankings. We're all in the highest grade level, so we'll mainly look at class rankings!"

"The student who ranks first in their class each year will receive a scholarship of 3 Spirit Coin and a Cultivation Method!"

"The Cultivation Method will be selected from the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering at our Ten Thousand Laws University!"

Jiao Lei True Person said with some pride, "The Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering are the unique Cultivation Method of our Ten Thousand Laws University, specializing in the Wood Element. Each of the Seven Absolutes techniques is a top-tier, Expert-level Cultivation Method!"

"And if one masters three of them, they can combine them into a single Cultivation Method that is close to Military Grade!"

He said encouragingly, "And if one can master all seven in a row, and then obtain Military Civil Engineering Certificate, one can achieve the unity of the seven energies! One will then master the Military-grade Cultivation Method — the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power!"

Although Jiao Lei True Person's words were encouraging, his main focus was on Ji Yuan Shu and Gongshu Jin!

He thought to himself that Ji Yuan Shu should collect all the rewards from the first three years and accumulate enough for the three-in-one system before Transfer Departments!

On the contrary, there is a very high probability that Gongshu Jin will master the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering in the remaining seven years!

"I just don't know if he'll be able to pass the military civil engineering exam in the future, and ultimately achieve the perfect harmony of the seven elements!"

Meanwhile, in a corner that Jiao Lei hadn't noticed, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. "This Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power sounds so awesome!"

Fu Ji said, "But seven years is too long, isn't it? Won't that delay your Transfer Departments? Unless you finish your undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering and then take the exam for a master's degree in weapon crafting!"

"And to get this thing, you'll have to compete with a Sixth Layer and a Fourth Layer player!" Zhang Yu said!

"We're here in the top ten, so we're supposed to be competing with these people, aren't we?"

He glanced at the black symbols that were already half-filled in his palm and thought to himself, "Give me some credit, Feather Scroll, don't waste my talent!"

Then, Master Jiao True Person went on to explain some routine matters that should be noted in the University City!

"Whether you know it or not, I must reiterate: planting is strictly prohibited in the University City."

"In the past, if a student secretly tried to do soilless cultivation in their dormitory, they would be expelled immediately. They would be permanently disqualified from university, and no amount of Spirit Coin could change that."

"So don't let me find any leaves in your dorm room. If I do, no one can protect you."

"Also, if you're trying to save money by eating Cement Companion Medicine, remember to only eat it when you have an excessive amount of stomach gas. If you feel your stomach is overburdened, vomit it out. Eating and vomiting a piece of cement like this can keep your stomach healthy for a month. Don't just eat it without vomiting, or you'll end up passing cement and causing internal injuries!"

"Don't laugh, do you think no one has gone bankrupt hauling cement? Even you Qi Refining students from the first floor, who have already Foundation Establishment, should take this as a warning and not make such a fool of yourselves!"

After explaining all the important points, Jiao Lei True Person added, "By the way, the scholarship for high school Foundation Establishment students will arrive today or tomorrow. Besides that, there's another reward!"

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. The admission conditions he had discussed with the representatives of Ten Thousand Laws University included a scholarship of 2.5 Spirit Coin!

Jiao Dian True Person announced several names, including Ji Yuan Shu, Ying Xin, Li Xiao, Yu Xinghan!

These five, plus Zhang Yu, constitute all the high school Foundation Establishment Student in this Foundation Establishment Class!

Master Jiao Lei True Person said, "You all passed the Foundation Establishment Exam in high school. In the Foundation Establishment Class, you can enjoy discounts on Cultivation Method: 40% off Basic Cultivation Method, 60% off Advanced Cultivation Method, and 80% off Expert-level Cultivation Method!"

"And then... Zhang Yu!"

Jiao Lei True Person announced this name: "You're quite good. You took the Foundation Establishment Exam in your first year of high school and obtained your Foundation Establishment Certificate in your second year. You're the first person in high school to succeed in the Foundation Establishment Exam on your very first attempt."

"If you go to the Great Library to exchange for Cultivation Method, Basic Cultivation Method will be 20% off, Advanced Cultivation Method be 40% off, and Expert-level Cultivation Method will be 60% off!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was overjoyed, thinking to himself that his efforts in the Foundation Establishment Exam had not been in vain!

After all, Ten Thousand Laws University sells all kinds of the Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Method for Spirit Coin, so every 10% discount is a huge saving!

Upon hearing Jiao Lei True Person's words, all the students present turned to look at Zhang Yu, their faces showing a hint of surprise!

Even Gongshu Jin, who hadn't taken Zhang Yu seriously before, raised an eyebrow. "He obtained the Foundation Establishment Certificate in his second year of high school? That means he beat a third-year student in his second year?"

"However, judging from his basic data, he doesn't show any advantage of being a year ahead of me in Foundation Establishment. Is it because the cultivation conditions at the first level are too poor?"

"Looks like buying his life would be pretty cheap!"

In Gongshu Jin's mind, a Level One person was someone who could easily earn the other person's gratitude and make them risk their lives for him by simply spending a few spirit years!

On the other side, Ji Yuan Shu also took a serious look at Zhang Yu this time. His Eye Remains swept over the other's body, revealing the model of the Time Remnant Demon Eye!

"They actually Foundation Establishment a year earlier than me, but their basic stats are about 30% lower!"

"Does this mean he lacks the necessary conditions for cultivation, yet he happens to be equipped with top-tier Eye Remains?"

"What a strange guy!"

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan Shu searched for Zhang Yu's information in the Spirit Realm Network for a while, and found a history of a product being taken down on a shopping platform called Oasis Market a moment later!

Without waiting for Jiao Lei True Person to point at Ji Yuan Shu, he said, "Ji Yuan Shu, from now on you're Ban Chang. Create a group chat later and add everyone to it!"

Jiao Lei True Person thought to himself, "Ji Yuan Shu is, after all, Sixth Layer cultivator. He acts steadily and is capable of winning people's respect! Unlike those at the first or Second Layer level, he's not as unreliable!"

He then added, "From now on, we won't have class meetings anymore. Any problems will be resolved through the Spirit Realm Network!"

After saying that, Jiao Lei True Person transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the air. He came and went in a hurry, and only talked with the students for a little over ten minutes!

After the teacher left, all the students present were pulled into the group chat created by Ji Yuan Shu!

Gongshu Jin suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look at Li Xiao, and asked, "You're from the first floor, right? Are you familiar with Zhang Yu? He should be quite famous in your area, right?"

Seeing Gongshu Jin's apparent interest in Zhang Yu, Li Xiao felt a pang of jealousy and quickly said, "He's from a small town, but he's quite famous there because he beat up his boss—the same boss who gave him hundreds of millions in funding."

Li Xiao embellished Wang Yin's story, causing Gongshu Jin to frown slightly and say, "Can't he tame him even if he's raised like this?"

Li Xiao quickly added, "Wang Yin's battle with him was broadcast live to the Upper Level. You could check and maybe you can find it!"
