First University had four academies and four research institutes.
These eight institutions were scattered across Puji Island, hidden away and positioned to support one another, forming an enormous Guardian Formation. Linking them together were corridors of varying shapes and styles.
However, when First University students traveled to other academies or research institutes, they usually did not choose these corridors. Not only were they winding and long, but hunting teams often trained in them. A careless passerby could easily get dragged into trouble.

But those were not the First Grand Hall's most important components.
The most important part of the First Grand Hall was the nine grand gates encircling the first floor. They led respectively to the school's four academies, four research institutes, and the First Grand Gate leading outside the school.

Of course, using these gates required certain formalities.
For example, there were class schedules approved and filed by the school, Temporary Passes issued by the School Labor Committee or Student Union, professors' written permits, and so on.
The note Professor Monteria had given Zheng Qing happened to meet those requirements.
Like Su Shijun's Two-Dimensional Evolution Laboratory, Professor Monteria's laboratory belonged to the
