"No wonder it's said that various combat techniques and secret skills are derived from the talents of Awakened. The founder of the Energy Structure Method, perhaps with a similar 'domain' talent, refined and summarized it into a secret skill..." Wen Jing thought to himself.
Of course, the versions that Federation Awakened are learning now are far from the original versions. With each generation of optimization, the combat techniques and secret skills will only become more efficient and widespread.
At this moment, Professor Ye, who seemed to have been resting with his eyes closed throughout the entire class, finally opened them. Despite his youthful appearance as Awakened, his demeanor and mannerisms were those of an elderly person.
I thought he was going to say something about this at this time, but what he said instead was:
"It's almost time, pack up and leave get out of class."
Neither Wen Jing's amazing performance nor the disbelief and doubt of the Azure Jade students on site seemed to be taken seriously by him, as if he didn't care about anything after completing his daily task.
"Yes."
Since the professor had said that, naturally no one dared to say anything more.
Watching the professor get up and leave the classroom, with the teaching assistant following behind, Wen Jing couldn't help but frown slightly.
It wasn't that she felt Professor Ye wasn't paying attention to her, but rather that she was dissatisfied that Professor Ye, as the main lecturer for the course, did absolutely nothing during the entire class, leaving all the work to the teaching assistant.
She initially thought the teaching assistant would only cover the basics, and that the professor would come on stage later when the key points were discussed.
Unexpectedly, from the beginning to the end of the entire class, the other party only said "class begins" and "class ends." Even if Professor Ye and the teaching assistant switched positions, no teaching assistant would act like this.
After leaving the classroom, the teaching assistant walked a step behind Professor Ye.
"Professor, based on the progress of this lesson, the lesson plan for the next lesson is ready and I've sent it to you."
Because students learn at different paces, and there are many repeat students, the college's lesson plans are customized according to each student's individual progress.
Professor Ye, who usually never looked at lesson plans, opened one this time, glanced at it, and said to him, "There's no need to arrange Wen Jing's case so quickly."
The teaching assistant paused slightly, then said, "But this time her progress has already—"
"I told you it doesn't need to be so fast." Professor Ye interrupted him directly, "Can't you tell? She studied it beforehand and is just showing off today."
"Exaggerated!"
Professor Ye gave a mocking snort, then revealed a mysterious expression that seemed to see through everything, and advised the teaching assistant, "If you speed up her progress as you think, she hasn't actually learned that much yet, and you might even offend someone because of it."
The teaching assistant frowned, his expression hesitant. "But..."
He doesn't look like it.
Professor Ye glanced around subtly, then lowered his voice slightly. "Don't you know her teacher is Dean Bai?"
This news surprised the teaching assistant. Wen Jing and Dean Bai's teacher-student relationship was well-known in certain circles, though it wasn't something a regular mentor like the teaching assistant knew.
"I couldn't be bothered to call her out on it; I'll just give her teacher face."
After Professor Ye finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back, as if he would not say anything more.
' Dean Bai probably doesn't care about your face...' The teaching assistant thought to himself, knowing about the factional struggle, but of course he didn't show it on his face.
Based on his many years of teaching experience, he felt that Professor Ye was wrong. If Wen Jing's reaction was acting, then he would have spent all his time honing his acting skills, and he would never have achieved what he has today.
However, having worked under him for so many years, he knew Professor Ye's stubbornness and how difficult it was to change his mind once he made up his mind. Arguing with him would be exhausting and pointless.
So I didn't bother to offer any more opinions and just silently followed along.

On the other side, the students who had left the classroom dispersed in the corridor, some leaving the teaching area and others heading to the classroom for the next class.
"Light spot diagrams are so difficult, I wonder when I'll be able to memorize them."
As the group of Ocher Soil walked out of the classroom, they were among the best of their age in the academy, but when they thought about the difficulty of the Energy Structure Method, they couldn't help but show their troubled expressions.
Nie Xuan, who had mistakenly won first place in the grade ranking competition, held his head in pain.
"I have another Crystal-Splitting Pulse class coming up. I wish I hadn't signed up. I feel like I'll have a hard time just Digestion the spot diagrams today."
He Yunping shook his head beside him. "I've reminded you all not to be greedy. If it really comes down to it, you can make choices. Give up the courses that are difficult to learn within three months and focus on the ones you are confident you can learn."
Although exchange students can register for all courses for free, and they won't lose Integral even if they don't learn the material, their time is their own.
If you slack off for three months during the Azure Jade exchange period and don't Integral any course points, your ranking might be surpassed by others when you return.
" Crystal Fracture Pulse? Was it taught in classroom D33? If so, we can do it together," Wen Jing replied.
Nie Xuan was immediately flattered. "Great! Great!"
"Me too, together!" several students who had signed up for the course exclaimed happily.
Regarding Wen Jing's monster learning speed, the Ocher Soil group had already gone through the process of 'being critically shocked - questioning their existence - completely getting used to it'.
Now, coming to Azure Jade and being able to witness firsthand the process of Azure Jade students being 'attacked' is a completely different experience.
Wan Ling was standing nearby, thought of something and asked curiously, "By the way Wen Jing, how many courses did you sign up for in total?"
Upon Wen Jing smiled and replied, "Oh, I registered for thirty-six courses."
Everyone turned their heads in unison. "...?"
Don't say something so unusual in such a casual tone!
Not to mention the people of Ocher Soil here, the Azure Jade students who hadn't gone far also heard this conversation.
The news quickly spread again.
Everyone who heard the news thought it was outrageous, and many people scoffed at it.
If Wen Jing had taken more than ten courses in the past three months, he could still be considered a top genius, which would be barely understandable.
I've enrolled in almost all the courses offered by the Azure Jade Academy —thirty-six in total. How could I possibly finish them all during the exchange program?
Learning various advanced combat techniques and secret skills cannot be accomplished in just one class period; one must also spend time outside of class to comprehend and practice them.
[ Wen Jing is exploiting a loophole in the exchange student system. There will definitely be many students who register but don't actually study. Can't the school do something about this waste of educational resources?]
When related hot posts appeared on the Azure Jade Forum, Wen Jing indeed appeared in various classrooms.
Especially for classes held at night, she was often seen rushing from one classroom to the next, at the most extreme times it was practically like she lived in the teaching area.
But before they could even marvel at Wen Jing's fact that he hadn't missed a single class, the Azure Jade group was more quickly struck by a 'bombardment'.
In the first lesson on energy structure, most people were convinced that Wen Jing had definitely studied it beforehand.
However, as she took more and more courses, and her performance in each class was roughly the same, her previous doubts became unfounded.
Studying ahead of time is a thankless task; not only do you have to pay extra, but studying itself takes time, so it's pointless except for pretending.
It's understandable that Wen Jing might have bought and studied one course in advance, but surely she couldn't have studied so many courses beforehand?
Even without considering the Integral spent, one still has to consider how much time it would take to learn so many courses in advance.
Therefore, faced with this reality, more and more people at the Azure Jade Academy began to enter a phase of 'questioning life'.
Not only students from the same grade, but also students from different grades, since Wen Jing had practically filled up all the courses offered by Azure Jade during this period.
The students of Azure Jade suffered even more than the students of Ocher Soil had.
Only then did they belatedly recall that Wen Jing had first attracted attention in the Freshman League by defeating the A-level Luosi with her unparalleled combat skills and secret techniques.
However, as Awakened with higher potential, they always subconsciously overlook this aspect, believing that their higher level of supernatural ability can compensate for it when it comes to truly measuring combat strength.
It's like using your own strengths and Wen Jing's strengths to even things out.
But now the environment has changed; instead of a competition, everyone is learning the same combat skill in the same classroom.
Standing on the same track and starting line, the moment when they truly felt what 'talent' meant... was the moment that shattered their Dao hearts the most!
When the news reached Mystic Radiance, even the Mystic Radiance members, who had previously been just watching the show, remained silent this time, seemingly avoiding the topic altogether.

" Professor Saerjia, do you have class today?"
The two professors met by chance, Professor Ye took the initiative to greet them.
Professor Saerjia, a tall, red-haired man, found the greeting rather odd. Professor Ye usually mimicked the aloof Dean Fu, and even when they met face-to-face, he would simply nod.
Today, however, the other person came over to greet us from a distance.
"Yes," Saerjia nodded in agreement.
Professor Ye nodded, turned and left, only casually remarking as he went, "Haha, quite a few students have signed up for my courses lately."
"Hmm, it seems so." Saerjia nodded as well.
After this reminder, once the two parted ways, Saerjia asked the teaching assistant beside him, "Is there anything special about the students who signed up for this course?"
The teaching assistant's lips twitched slightly, and he said matter-of-factly, "This time we have exchange students from Ocher Soil."
Saerjia, who hadn't been on Azure Jade Star for a while, suddenly changed his expression, as if he had just realized something. "The exchange students from Ocher Soil have arrived already? Is Bai Xiao's student among them?"
The teaching assistant nodded.
When Wen Jing won the championship, she heard from Saerjia about her becoming Dean Bai's student.
The exchange students from the Ocher Soil have caused quite a stir in Azure Jade, but Saerjia has just returned to the academy to start classes and is unaware of this matter.
