Star City Academy

Star City, city center.

Star City Academy.

After getting out of the car, Feng Qi dragged his luggage to the entrance of Star City Academy.

The first thing that came into view was a stone monument over twenty meters high, on which were carved four large characters in a flowing script: "Star City Academy".

He stepped towards the academy grounds, but was stopped by the security guard at the entrance.

Only after he presented his visitor's letter was he allowed to pass.

Inside the main gate was a marble road leading into the campus, lined with many bronze statues on both sides.

They were all graduates of Star City Academy who had made outstanding contributions to the development of humanity. The inscriptions below the statues detailed their life stories.

Continuing further in was a lotus pond. It was summer, the peak season for lotus growth, and green leaves filled the pond, swaying in the wind.

Following the main road, Feng Qi took an hour to reach the dormitory building.

He went to the dormitory administrator's office, submitted his letter, and quickly got his accommodation.

Room 301 on the third floor.

The dormitories at Star City Academy were single rooms, but larger than his school dormitory. They were fully equipped, the refrigerator was already filled with various drinks and food, and the dormitory building was equipped with facilities such as a gym, a psychological venting room, and a network room.

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 wardrobe, he opened the visitor's letter and called the academy receptionist.

The phone rang twice before being answered. A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end:

"Who is it?"

"I am a student from New City Middle School here for a visit and study. My name is Feng Qi..."

After hearing Feng Qi's self-introduction, the voice on the other end said:

"I understand. You probably haven't had systematic exposure to cultivation studies courses yet, so for now, I'll arrange for you to audit the Cultivation Exchange Class. It will be very helpful to you. Please note down the classroom location..."

"Okay, teacher, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he took a pen and wrote down the address of the "Cultivation Exchange Class" that the receptionist had given him.

He checked the time; it was almost noon. He decided to go to the academy's restaurant for lunch first, and then go check out the Cultivation Exchange Class.

He left the dormitory, asked for directions, and walked for over ten minutes before arriving at the restaurant.

The restaurant served meals in a buffet style, and all food was free. Feng Qi was not surprised by this; after all, Star City Academy cultivated the future elites of humanity, and many graduates were outstanding talents who had made significant contributions to human development, so free meals were completely understandable.

After getting a pile of delicious food, he, feeling hungry, found an empty seat and began to devour it.

While eating, Feng Qi's attention was drawn to another student who was also eating.

She had long black hair, a petite figure, and delicate features. What surprised him was that the table in front of this senior was piled high with food scraps, and her eating process had the momentum of devouring mountains and rivers.

He also noticed that a Rune Crystal was embedded in her right arm, which flickered slightly as she ate.

After his body mutated, Feng Qi's appetite was astonishing, but he felt that compared to this Loli Senior, he was not on the same level at all.

With such a small body, how can she eat more food than her own volume? Doesn't she get full?

Just then, the girl who was eating suddenly turned and looked at him.

In their gaze, a fierce, wild aura rushed towards him, making Feng Qi have the illusion that the one eating not far away was not a human, but a savage beast.

Feeling that observing like this was impolite, he quickly lowered his head.

After staring at Feng Qi for a while, the Loli Senior's eyes showed a hint of confusion, and then she continued to eat heartily.

After finishing lunch, it was half past twelve.

The Cultivation Exchange Class was about to start. After leaving the restaurant, Feng Qi went straight to the Cultivation Exchange Class.

The Cultivation Exchange Class was half an hour's walk from the restaurant. By the time he arrived at the classroom, it was already full of students.

The moment he entered the door, the students who were chatting suddenly fell silent and looked at him in unison.

This made Feng Qi a little awkward. He was just here to audit the students' discussions on cultivation studies, and now he had become the focus, which really made him uncomfortable.

He originally wanted to find a seat, but just as he reached an empty seat, a student next to him asked in confusion:

"Junior, aren't you going up to give a lecture? Why are you thinking of sitting down?"

"Do I have to lecture too?" He looked stunned.

"If you don't lecture, who will?" The student's face also showed a surprised expression.

Thinking that this was the way the Cultivation Exchange Class communicated, and that every newcomer needed to explain their understanding of cultivation, Feng Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the podium.

Looking at the seniors who were all looking at him, he pondered for a moment before speaking:

"My understanding of cultivation studies is very shallow. If there are any shortcomings, I hope the seniors will be more accommodating."

There was no applause or welcome. All the students' expressions were indifferent.

What kind of attitude is this? Is this the quality of Star City Academy students? Who are they looking down on! He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But since it was the process for newcomers, he had to speak. After pondering for a moment, Feng Qi thought of what he should talk about.

He thought of another cultivation technique he had learned in his dream, the Fierce Tiger Fist. He felt that besides this technique, he really didn't have anything else to talk about.

So he raised his head, deciding it was time to show off:

"Next, I will talk about my understanding of body cultivation."

"Body cultivation is a method of cultivation that tempers the physical body to increase Bloodline Strength. As the cultivation realm increases, the physical body can become impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to blades and spears..."

Listening to Feng Qi's lecture, the students' expressions changed.

"Isn't this just the basics? It doesn't live up to the hype."

"This is the exchange student from Winter Academy? Didn't they say he was already accepted by the Tiger Soul Research Institute? Is this all there is?"

"As expected, it's all talk. If this is enough to get early acceptance into the Tiger Soul Research Institute, I could do it too!"

"What a disappointment. I thought the rumored junior Lin Ran was amazing. It turns out this class is a complete waste of my time."

Because the content Feng Qi was currently talking about was the basic body cultivation content from the Fierce Tiger Fist video tutorial, it greatly disappointed the students.

But soon, he got to the main point.

"In the development of Human martial arts, there was once Xingyi Quan. I believe it can also be applied to body cultivation techniques. For example, mimicking the form of a fierce tiger, dividing the fist techniques into five stances: Pi (Chop), Zuan (Drill), Beng (Collapse), Pao (Cannon), and Heng (Horizontal), corresponding to the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth respectively. Practicing these five stances can nourish the five internal organs: lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, and spleen. On the basis of being more in line with the laws of human life activities, it strengthens and guides the meridians and parts connected to the five internal organs and six bowels, especially opening up the Ren and Du meridians, allowing Spiritual Energy to circulate primarily through the microcosmic orbit, further promoting the vigorous and smooth circulation of Spiritual Energy throughout the body..."

Listening to Feng Qi analyze the general principles of Fierce Tiger Fist, the students' expressions gradually changed.

Because they discovered that Feng Qi really had something.

Not only did he have his own unique insights into body cultivation, but he also expanded on the existing body cultivation system.

At this moment, the students no longer dared to underestimate Feng Qi. They all opened their notebooks, listening and taking notes, their expressions exceptionally serious, and occasionally nodding in agreement with what Feng Qi was saying.

Outside the classroom at this time, a young man about 17 or 18 years old rushed over from a distance.

He had a handsome appearance, with ebony black pupils, a high and heroic nose, and a soft aesthetic beauty in his appearance, while also radiating a confident smile.

Arriving in front of the classroom, Lin Ran was about to push the door open when he heard someone lecturing inside, and he was instantly a little confused.

Did I go to the wrong class?

Looking up at the class name "Combat Class One", Lin Ran was even more confused.

No, this is it!

Out of politeness, since someone was teaching, he naturally couldn't just enter. So Lin Ran chose to stand outside the classroom and listen.

Listening to the "teacher" inside talk about his insights on body cultivation, ripples appeared in Lin Ran's clear eyes, and he occasionally nodded in agreement.

As expected of Star City Academy, the teachers here are so professional!
