The Gathering of New Students

(Congratulations to the two newly appointed hall masters! "Why are all the names gone?" "No heartbeat, no cure!")

It was still 4 a. m., still before dawn, and Mu Fan's biological clock made him open his eyes precisely at this moment.

Looking at the ceiling and feeling the wound on his shoulder, Mu Fan grinned.

The healing is progressing well; the claw wounds inflicted by the Invader at the Chad Factory, beneath the scabbed wounds, have healed by nearly half.

The medicine made by Bai Guyue is truly miraculous!

Considering that he might need to unravel the secrets hidden within the Star Chart Relic in the future, Mu Fan became even more determined to bring Bai Guyue, this genius potion-making girl, into his team.

After washing his face with cold water, Mu Fan looked at himself in the mirror.

Looking into the mirror with a resolute gaze, Mu Fan grinned.

"A new day, let's do our best!"

Mu Fan added another jacket over his Flexible Weighted Suit.

When I appeared in the living room, the three bedrooms with their doors locked indicated that my roommates were still fast asleep.

Then Mu Fan took out a Magma Fruit, took a bite, and his mouth was filled with sweetness, and a surge of energy flowed into his body.

We need to train, so we need extra meals!

Mu Fan narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, quietly Open Gate, and walked out while eating. The path of cultivation is like drinking water; it cannot be interrupted every day.

The night has not yet faded; the darkness before dawn is the deepest moment.

On the damp stone path, the boy's figure ran rhythmically into the distance.

With a powerful effort from his arms, Mu Fan hoisted the massive rock onto his back once more. Gritting his teeth and bending his knees, Mu Fan leaped into the air.

Oh!

Ha!

The whistling mountain wind slipped through the gaps and brushed past Mu Fan's ears.

The weighted frog jump, especially the weights on his legs, made Mu Fan's jumps even more difficult. But Mu Fan was like a pilgrim, moving step by step toward the sacred object at the summit.

At dawn, the wind on the mountainside was cold and penetrating, while the boy's sweat steamed hot.

Huge rocks rose and fell, and the boy's powerful slogans were carried away by the wind.

The young man's blood was boiling, and his ambition soared to great heights!

Thump!

After his feet landed heavily on the ground, Mu Fan put the giant rock on his back aside and panted heavily. He saw once again that quiet, solitary figure, as serene as snow, ahead of him.

An ancient, black longbow stands upright in front of him, its bowstring fully drawn, and snow-white tassels fluttering in the wind.

Her long, black hair was blown to the side and back by the mountain breeze, revealing her fair and graceful neck.

Good morning, senior!

Upon seeing that figure again, Mu Fan grinned happily.

Isn't it a delightful thing to see another worthy role model on the path of spiritual practice?

"Morning."

A clear, cool voice escaped from her lips, her figure remaining perfectly still.

Lu Qingxue's gaze remained fixed straight ahead, on the crimson dot on the reclining ox stone.

After greeting Mu Fan began to move his limbs, making creaking sounds.

He carried the boulder down on his back again, and his training mission for this morning was complete.

How long will your training last?

The mountain breeze gently carried the words of the Goddess of War ahead to Mu Fan's ears.

"I'll keep going! Until I find a better training method!" Mu Fan, who was stretching his legs, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with great enthusiasm.

At this moment Mu Fan was so honest and even a little cute.

A subtle smile curved her lips, but Mu Fan was destined not to see the fleeting hint of a smile on the face of that ice queen.

"Today is the club recruitment day."

Lu Qingxue's thoughts jump around a lot, and she often speaks very concisely.

Fortunately, Mu Fan has always had a vivid imagination, so he had no trouble understanding what she was saying.

"Yeah, I know. I'll go take a look with my roommates during the day." Mu Fan stood upside down, and with a jolt of his arms, he bounced backward onto the giant rock.

Then Mu Fan started doing handstand push-ups!

"You are an honorary member of the Kendo Club." Lu Qingxue's cherry lips parted again, as if emphasizing something.

"Yeah, what's wrong, senior?" Mu Fan wasn't shirtless today, so you couldn't see his muscular physique. Hearing Lu Qingxue's words, he asked curiously.

On the mountain platform, the two stood at opposite ends.

"When the Kendo Club recruits, you'll be in charge." Lu Qingxue slowly changed the posture of her longbow, sheathed it, and then switched hands to draw it again.

The arrow was held at rest, its tip pointing towards the reclining ox rock.

This shocking statement nearly made Mu Fan roll off the boulder.

With a somersault, Mu Fan landed steadily.

"I'm a freshman, and you want me to recruit new members?"

"Yes, you go, Bing Su will go too."

Lu Qingxue's words almost drove Mu Fan to despair. What did Bing Su have to do with him? And was it really appropriate for him to recruit new employees?

When you see other new students, say to them, "Hello, this is the Kendo Club. I'm in charge of this recruitment. I'm here to test your skills."

Then the other person took out a sword, and he pulled out a stick.

The thought of that scene is rather funny.

This is the Kendo Club!

"And what about you, senior?"

"I'm not suited for recruiting." Lu Qingxue remained motionless.

Am I suitable for this? Is this really a good idea?

Mu Fan was full of resentment, but Lu Qingxue's next words made him perk up.

"You can redeem the Magma Fruit at a 50% discount, and honorary members will receive regular benefits."

"I'll go." Mu Fan nodded emphatically.

"Bing Su will contact you in advance." Lu Qingxue finally drew the longbow to its full length in an instant, and then suddenly released it with three fingers of her right hand.

Whoosh!

As the bowstring vibrated, a lightning-fast arrow pierced the crimson dot in the reclining ox stone.

The Wooden Arrow from yesterday was split in two and fell into the grass.

"My training is complete. See you tomorrow."

"Oh, goodbye, senior."

Watching Lu Qingxue methodically pack up and descend the mountain, it was almost exactly the same as yesterday.

Is the life of Goddess of War always so monotonous?

Putting his doubts aside, Mu Fan picked up the giant rock again, put his legs together, and began to leap.

The boy's sweat-drenched figure is frozen at one end of the mountain road, while the Goddess of War's nimble figure treading lightly on the rocks is frozen at the other end.

The club recruitment is scheduled to start at 9 a. m., but there are still more than half an hour to go, and we can already see a huge crowd filling the school's Time Square.

This is the designated recruitment point for student organizations at the Dingchuan Academy.

Along the long road encircling the square, many of the college's 174 student clubs are already busy making preparations.

The enthusiastic atmosphere was comparable to that of the first day of school.

Freshmen dressed in all sorts of outfits have already appeared in this square.

The air here is filled with youthful energy!

The boys and girls entering the academy for the first time all carried with them the pent-up frustration and excitement of the past few days of training.

Wearing a light blue jumpsuit with a bow tied at the waist, Wang Nuonuo was enjoying two glutinous rice balls with relish as she strode along with her long, fair legs.

Her clear, big eyes were full of happiness, and with each bite, her eyes turned into crescent moons.

"Chu Chu, the club is recruiting new members today. Mu Fan just said we'll meet up up ahead, hehe."

"Yes, yes, but you've got it backwards, Nuonuo. Today is mainly about meeting your parents."

"You're so mean! Don't talk to me like that, or I'll fight you!" Nuonuo raised her pink fist like an angry little tiger baring its teeth.

"Hmph~~ I never saw you like this when Zhang Yuanren was pursuing you." Chu Chu, dressed in a light green dress, exuded an imposing aura. When she saw the glances peeking over from the side, she glared back mercilessly, scaring the timid boys into turning their heads away.

"Tch, that's different! That person's face is really annoying. Who knows how he'll brag about himself when he goes to the Dawn Academy. I find it disgusting."

"Okay, okay, Mu Fan is the best, right?"

"Yes!" The girl proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head.

Those perfectly proportioned long legs instantly attracted countless eyes.

"Sigh, Nuonuo, you've really developed well. Such beautiful legs... tsk tsk, I'm so envious." Chu Chu chuckled mischievously and grabbed Wang Nuonuo's thigh.

"Ah, I'll fight you to the death!" Wang Nuonuo stuffed the remaining half of the glutinous rice ball into her mouth and chased after Chu Chu with her puffed-out little face.

Eve, with blonde hair like a doll, and her companion appeared in a corner of the square.

With a buzz cut and a strong build, Shi Sen was wearing a training uniform, followed by four people as they walked toward the Fighting Club.

The aristocratic young man, Xi Ze, dressed in a suit, walked demurely under the paulownia tree. He saw several beautiful girls nodding gracefully in greeting, which made the girls blush.

The burly Pajie was walking slowly towards them, chatting and laughing with several companions.

Gao Baiyun, Martial Arts Hall dressed in a black martial arts uniform, walked slowly with his elbows crossed, looking around at the commoner genius Qiao Bolun.

Two chubby men, one big and one small, each carrying a bucket of fried chicken legs... William and Harry.

At this moment, the Time Square is bustling with people.

If Mu Fan and White Hair were there, they would have noticed that there were so many familiar faces in the square, which had gathered nearly 10,000 people, and that a large number of new students were continuously pouring in.

So where is Mu Fan right now?

The four figures appeared on one side of the road, and their imposing presence caused people to instinctively avoid them.

With a red headband bearing the word "Certain Victory" tied around her head, Li Xiaoxi raised her arms and shouted, "Our goal today is to unify! We're going to—"

Student Union.

"Flower Arrangement Club"

"Kendo Club"

"Have no idea."

Then the four of them said in unison.

"Old Gu, your attitude is too negative. Come with me to the Flower Arrangement Club and sweep up some girls!" White Hair wasn't wearing that eye-searing purple eyeshadow today, and looked quite normal... if you ignored his punk-style studded outfit and the two-meter-tall sunflower he was carrying on his shoulder!

Gu Yunyou's handsome face twitched for a while, then he pointed to the White Hair's shoulder and said, "Can you not carry this thing while you're talking?"

"No way! This is my proof of joining the club, and I'm going to make the most beautiful flower for the pretty senior girls! I've already thought of a name for this piece: ' Overlord Flower '! Hahaha, with this piece, I'm sure I'll reach the pinnacle of my life."

"I would never go to that Flower Arrangement Club, no matter what. I don't like being overshadowed by others."

"I love your subtle praise." The White Hair gave Mu Fan an appreciative look.

"Didn't you already join the Kendo Club? Why are you going again?"

"I'm in charge of recruitment," Mu Fan said, shrugging helplessly.

"Your swordsmanship has reached this level?! Mu Fan, when did you learn to use a greatsword?" The White Hair man was so startled that he dropped the sunflower in his hand.

"I'll use a stick..."

Two black lines appeared on White Hair's face as he silently picked up the sunflower again. "This joke isn't funny at all."
