Every student dormitory building at Modu Metahuman University was equipped with a Training Room.

However, the Training Rooms were not particularly large, nor did they have testing equipment such as punch force testers. They could only be used for daily training.

To accurately determine the power of one's abilities and Battle Techniques, or even punching speed and force, one had to go to a martial hall.

There were two martial halls on the Modu Metahuman University campus: the Thunder Martial Hall and the Violent Bear Martial Hall, the two most famous martial halls in Great Xia Country.

Back in Jiangcheng, Xu Jingming had often gone to the Thunder Martial Hall.

This time, he had also planned to test his strength there. But just as he headed in that direction, he faintly caught a whiff of a light stench.

Only then did Xu Jingming realize that, due to forging the Thunder Undying Body, his body had expelled quite a few impurities, which had clung to his skin.

"Forget it. I'll head back to the dormitory for a shower first, then go to the martial hall."

Xu Jingming had no desire to become a source of foul-smelling pollution, so he turned around and headed toward the student dormitories.

The closer he got to the student dormitories, the more people Xu Jingming saw along the way.

Once he entered the New Student Villa Area, the phenomenon became even more obvious.

The roads that had previously been quite deserted now had plenty of male and female students walking along them.

Some were couples flirting together, though most were groups of male students or groups of female students.

They looked about the same age as Xu Jingming, around eighteen or nineteen.

Quite a few students looked around curiously like curious children. Some had even arrived with their parents, dragging suitcases behind them.

"Are these all new students?"

Only then did Xu Jingming remember that six days had already passed since he reported to Modu Metahuman University.

By now, the application process for the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination had long since ended, and acceptance letters had been delivered to the students.

"Still, only Elite Universities like Modu Metahuman University would have so many new students choosing to enroll early."

Students capable of getting into Modu Metahuman University were all geniuses in their provinces and cities.

Naturally, they understood that getting ahead by one step meant staying ahead every step of the way.

Reporting early meant they could gain early access to Modu Metahuman University's excellent educational resources, facilities, and equipment.

Naturally, they would not foolishly wait until September to report in.

Xu Jingming's villa was Number 32 in Student Dormitory Area 3.

When he reached the entrance, he discovered that the front door, which he had closed before leaving, was now wide open.

"Looks like my roommate has arrived."

Xu Jingming entered the villa with a smile.

Sure enough, he saw a male student sitting on the sofa in the first-floor living room, using the Artificial Intelligence Eva to look up information.

Sensing someone enter the villa, the male student turned his head.

When he saw Xu Jingming walk in, his eyes immediately lit up.

He hurriedly rose from the sofa, ran over to Xu Jingming, and generously extended his right hand.

"You must be my roommate, right? Hello, I'm Liu Wentao. Nice to meet you."

Liu Wentao was handsome, with slightly dark skin and a fringe of tousled bangs.

The smile on his face gave off the immediate impression that he was sunny and outgoing.

"Xu Jingming." Xu Jingming smiled as he shook Liu Wentao's hand.

"Xu Jingming? You're the Provincial Top Scorer from Jiangnan Province!"

Upon hearing Xu Jingming's name, Liu Wentao let out an instinctive cry of surprise.

"You know me?" Xu Jingming looked at him in confusion.

This should have been their first meeting.

"Of course! My nickname is Know-it-all!"

Liu Wentao proudly puffed out his chest. "I know the information of most of the new students in our class.

"Though I didn't specifically collect information about you. It was simply because the commotion you caused back then was too huge.

"After all, you were Jiangnan Province's biggest dark horse this year."

Liu Wentao chuckled.

He had always been particularly sensitive to information. After seeing information about Xu Jingming online back then, he had quietly memorized it.

However, after there had been no news related to Xu Jingming online for some time, he had stopped paying attention.

He had never expected that Xu Jingming had also applied to Modu Metahuman University—and had even become his roommate.

"By the way, are you really from the impoverished Jiangcheng in Jiangnan Province? You weren't living in some other economically developed city and merely took the National College Entrance Exam in Jiangcheng?"

"Also, were you really only an Awakened during the National College Entrance Exam? And no matter how I look at it, your ability doesn't seem like it's merely E-rank..."

Liu Wentao was exceptionally familiar, and despite having just met Xu Jingming, he had already thrown an arm around his shoulders.

Like a string of firecrackers, he fired off question after question.

Xu Jingming was not bothered by it. Instead, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

In his previous life, he had grown up in an orphanage.

Things had been fine in elementary school, when he had plenty of little companions around him.

But after entering middle school, he had needed to leave the orphanage and live alone.

Back then, what he hated most every day was going home after school.

Because he was the only one at home, he could only turn on the television and pretend that someone was keeping him company.

Things improved a little after he entered high school and could live on campus, though weekends were still just as lonely.

He preferred lively surroundings, so he studied hard and got into university.

Banters with his roommates and playing online games together every day had been the happiest period of his life.

But four years later, he would once again face the fate of being alone.

So, through his own efforts, he got into a master's program and once again gained several roommates.

Later, he got into a doctoral program and gained a lively group of senior brothers and sisters.

Later still, he drank a little too much at his doctoral graduation banquet.

When he woke up, he had transmigrated into this world.

And tragically, he was still an orphan!

Although his aunt would occasionally come to visit him, loneliness remained the main theme of his life.

Therefore, whether in his previous life or this one, Xu Jingming had always been rather resistant to loneliness.

Seeing Liu Wentao acting like such a chatterbox now, Xu Jingming actually liked it.

So, Xu Jingming sat down on the sofa and began chatting idly with Liu Wentao.

During their conversation, Xu Jingming learned that Liu Wentao was from Sichuan Province, known as the Land of Abundance.

He possessed an A-rank Mental Type ability and First-Order Mid-Rank strength. In this Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, he had ranked among the top twenty in Sichuan Province.

He had applied to Modu Metahuman University because he had his sights set on the Tactics Academy, one of the five major academies.

In his own words, he would command an army of millions in the future and slaughter every ferocious beast on Blue Star!

And when Liu Wentao learned that Xu Jingming had truly only been an Awakened during the National College Entrance Exam, he could not help but exclaim in amazement again and again.

"Alright, enough talking. I'm heading to the martial hall in a while."

After chatting for some time and seeing that the time was about right, Xu Jingming rose from the sofa.

"The martial hall? I'm going too." Liu Wentao was equally eager. "I haven't been to Modu Metahuman University's martial halls yet."

"Sure. We'll go together after we've showered."

Xu Jingming nodded and headed straight upstairs.

More than ten minutes later, a refreshed Xu Jingming changed into clean clothes and left the villa with Liu Wentao.

It was a little past eleven in the morning. The sunlight outside was just right, and quite a few new students were walking along the roads.

Xu Jingming and Liu Wentao headed toward the exit of the dormitory area.

As usual, Xu Jingming walked upright, staring straight ahead.

Meanwhile, Liu Wentao looked around everywhere, his gaze roaming over the new students on the road.

Every now and then, his eyes would linger a little longer on some pretty female students, revealing a somewhat lecherous smile.

"Jingming, look over there! There's a stunning beauty!"

After walking for only a short while, Liu Wentao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly slapped Xu Jingming on the shoulder.

Xu Jingming subconsciously followed Liu Wentao's gaze.

He saw two girls walking side by side out of a villa around ten meters ahead.

The two girls were about the same height, both around 1.67 meters tall.

The girl on the left was slightly shorter and fairly pretty, but not stunningly so.

But the other girl was different.

She had a delicate face, willow eyebrows, and cherry lips—a peerless beauty.

Her skin was incredibly fair and soft, as tender as a baby's.

What drew even more attention was her figure. She wore a simple white T-shirt, yet her chest was impressively full.

She wore a pair of light-blue skinny jeans below, outlining legs that were both long and strikingly shapely.
