June 16th.
The first day of the official semester.
Participated in a brief opening ceremony.
Xu Tui remembered one person: Wen Xinglun, the Principal of Huaxia Gene Evolution University.
His profile stated he was 82 years old, appearing to be a normal elderly man. However, in reality, his steps were vigorous, and he looked no older than 40, still very young.
He was full of energy, exuding an inexplicable aura.
According to his records, Principal Wen Xinglun of Huaxia Gene Evolution University was already a powerhouse in the Gene Transformation Realm over forty years ago.
"Students, your admission to Huaxia Gene Evolution University means each of you is a chosen one, possessing the ability to think independently.
Therefore, anything I say here, no matter how eloquent, will have little impact on you.
For this reason, I have only two words for you—Watch!"
Wen Xinglun pointed at the sky.
Seven to eight thousand freshmen followed his finger and looked up.
The sky was clear and vast, with only the morning sun rising, not a single cloud in sight!
"Look closely, don't blink."
As he spoke, Wen Xinglun suddenly snapped his fingers.
The snap was crisp and audible to everyone in the venue.
At that precise moment, an indescribable fear suddenly surged into Xu Tui's heart!
Rumble! Rumble! Sizzle!
Tens of thousands of lightning bolts appeared simultaneously in the sky, weaving into a net of flashing light.
Countless blue sparks instantly erupted in the sky!
Lightning strike!
A lightning strike in clear skies!
All the freshmen were stunned!
Some were so frightened they fell from their seats, panicking!
Students recording with their personal communication devices froze in shock.
"Is this even human?"
The clear-sky lightning strike lasted less than three seconds before vanishing.
It disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared, without any warning.
But the buzzing sound of the lightning strike that lingered in the ears of the students was undeniably real.
This scene shocked every student.
Many were so stunned they drooled without realizing it.
They stared fixedly at the sky that had been clear moments before.
Each of them wondered if their eyes were deceiving them.
"That was from the Mysterious System, hmm, the Limitless System."
Wen Xinglun's gaze flickered slightly as he glanced at a middle-aged man beside him, whose suit was stretched taut.
"Vice Principal Han, show the freshmen something."
The Vice Principal, surnamed Han, chuckled and stood up. "The Limitless System doesn't produce anything else, it produces superhumans!"
The next moment, Vice Principal Han crouched slightly before shooting up into the sky like a rocket.
He leaped dozens of meters high, then twisted and tumbled twice in mid-air like a flying eagle, landing on a floating balloon that was holding up a welcome banner.
Then, Vice Principal Han seemed to be nailed to the balloon, swaying with the wind but remaining perfectly stable.
"Students, my performance is just the most basic kind, suitable only for demonstration. The abilities of the Limitless System are definitely beyond your imagination."
As he spoke, Vice Principal Han leaped down from a height of over thirty meters.
Even more impressively, he landed directly back in his seat on the main stage, the very spot he had leaped from.
He sat down smoothly.
Not only did the main stage not shake, but not even the water in the bottled water on the table rippled.
The freshmen below were still shocked.
However, after the lightning strike baptism from the principal, Vice Principal Han's leaping performance wasn't as earth-shattering.
Of course, the fervent look in the eyes of the Limitless System students could not be hidden.
"Alright, that's all.
To all students, I have only one thing to say.
New Gene Humans, anything is possible!"
The crowd of freshmen remained stunned.
Not sure which teacher started the applause, but the entire training ground soon erupted in thunderous clapping.
"The freshman orientation ceremony is now concluded."
"Also, students who were recording earlier, please take another look at the Huaxia Gene Evolution University school rules and carefully read the New Gene Humans code of conduct.
You can keep the videos you recorded for your own enjoyment.
But please do not post them on public social media to avoid causing certain issues, especially with the lightning explosion videos."
"This is a friendly reminder and a warning. If the special intelligence department finds you, you will have to pay the fine or bear the responsibility yourself."
As the loudspeakers repeatedly broadcast the message, the freshmen dispersed. Many students kept looking back at the sky, as if savoring the memory of the lightning explosion they had just witnessed.
Some students even wondered if it was some high-tech light and shadow special effect.
Xu Tui had a tiny bit of doubt too.
A lightning explosion with just a snap of the fingers, it was incredible.
But Vice Principal Han, who appeared later, effortlessly ascended over 30 meters to a buoyant air balloon, swaying like a willow in the wind.
That definitely couldn't have been a high-tech special effect.
Actually, the snap-of-the-finger lightning explosion probably wasn't a special effect either.
If it were truly a special effect, how could An Xiaoxue's aerial flight when they were attacked by an Earth Element Extraordinary User on the road a few days ago be explained?
It was real!
In an instant, Xu Tui heard Principal Wen Xinglun's words echo in his mind.
New Gene Humans, anything is possible!
The pace of learning at Huaxia Gene Evolution University was extremely tight.
The classes had already been divided.
After the opening ceremony, classes would officially begin.
The Mysterious Academy itself had few people, and the Wisdom Heart System within the Mysterious Academy had even fewer.
In the end, only 15 people sat in the first-year classroom of the Wisdom Heart System.
It was a very small group.
However, all the students shared one characteristic—their eyes were truly bright.
Xu Tui felt that his own eyes were bright without even looking.
He was that handsome!
His face should be brighter than his eyes!
"Hello, students. My surname is Bian, and my name is Bian Yuan. I am your vice homeroom teacher for the first year of the Wisdom Heart System. Your daily studies and various affairs will be my responsibility.
If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."
Teacher Bian was someone everyone recognized, wearing a pair of large black-rimmed glasses, whom they had seen during the rank assessment.
"Teacher Bian, you are the vice homeroom teacher, so who is our homeroom teacher?" a student asked.
Bian Yuan pushed his glasses up his nose. "Our homeroom teacher's surname is An, and her name is An Xiaoxue.
You will meet her later.
Furthermore, not just our class, but the homeroom teacher for all four classes across the four years of the Wisdom Heart System is Professor An Xiaoxue."
In the audience, Xu Tui pondered.
An Xiaoxue was probably not just a nominal homeroom teacher.
On the contrary, she must be very important to be the homeroom teacher for all four years of the Wisdom Heart System.
"Students, there is something I need to tell you in advance.
Our class needs to elect a class monitor to guide and serve everyone.
This will be based on the principles of voluntariness and fairness.
For the next couple of days, get to know each other, and in a few days, we will take some time to elect a class monitor," Bian Yuan said, pushing his large black-rimmed glasses, his tone very scholarly.
"Alright, let's begin class now. Today's first lesson, and the opening discourse of the Wisdom Heart System." Bian Yuan on the podium quickly got into his element.
"Do students know why we are called the Wisdom Heart System?
Do you know the origin of the Wisdom Heart System?
Do you know the future of the Wisdom Heart System?"
"
"Today, I will talk to you about this issue.
First of all, when we talk about 'hui' (wisdom), it is linked to 'zhi' (intelligence).
The two characters, 'zhi' and 'hui', have been discussed together for thousands of years, from ancient times to the present, and are generally not discussed separately.
However, after the Gene Evolution Era, Shang Long, the first dean of the Wisdom Heart System, proposed the concept of 'hui xin' (慧心), separating 'hui' on its own.
Later, as it became more complete, the Wisdom Heart System was established."
"First, let's clarify what 'zhi' is and what 'hui' is.
Under the Gene Evolution Era, the meanings of these two characters are very clear.
The Limitless System has a separate Intelligence Category.
The Mysterious System has a separate Wisdom Heart Category.
From today's perspective, 'zhi' is also a manifestation of power.
The simplest manifestation is memory.
Being able to remember anything at a glance is a manifestation of 'zhi'.
Ordinary calculating abilities, such as mental arithmetic, are also manifestations of 'zhi'.
So, what is 'hui'?
'Hui' is a supplement, 'hui' is enrichment, 'hui' is discovery, 'hui' is exploration.
For example, knowing that 1+1 equals 2 is 'zhi'.
Then, figuring out and understanding that 1+1 equals 3 is 'hui'.
If you can prove that 1+1 equals 4, something that others have not yet discovered, that is called 'hui xin'!
Let's take another example. Reciting an ancient text from memory is 'zhi'.
But understanding it and expressing your own interpretation of that ancient text is 'hui'.
If you have your own unique understanding of the same ancient text, one that others do not have.
That is great wisdom.
This is called 'hui xin'!"
Xu Tui, seated, listened thoughtfully.
So this is the origin of 'hui xin'?
The difference between 'zhi' and 'hui'?
Bian Yuan had dark circles under his eyes and looked a bit dull, but his lectures were very engaging and easy to understand.
Many students were captivated.
The first major class of the morning quickly passed.
The second major class of the morning would be held in a different location, in the Mysterious Academy's Multi-functional Hall No. 1.
This was a collective major class for all first-year freshmen in the Mysterious Academy.
Over eight hundred freshmen gathered in one classroom, all busy interacting with each other. Especially students from the same department were busy exchanging contact information and making friends.
What is most precious at Huaxia Gene Evolution University?
Connections are definitely one of them!
So the students were busy exchanging information, and the entire multi-functional hall was noisy and boisterous.
It was so noisy that a teacher wearing a fisherman's hat walked slowly to the podium, and no one noticed.
The teacher did not get angry.
Instead, he gently tapped the podium and then slowly took off his fisherman's hat.
In an instant, the noisy multi-functional hall fell silent.
The teacher who took off his fisherman's hat had horns on his head!
