Everyone stood silently on the field, solemn. Night had fallen.

Outside the school was Jiudu Road, the main thoroughfare of Luo Cheng. Most people had just ended work and were on their way home. Perhaps someone at home had already prepared dinner and were waiting for their return.

Over in school, a group of new energy rejuvenation age pract.i.tioners were silent as they stared at the flag raising platform.

Luo Cheng Foreign Language School had begun renovation this summer vacation. Originally, steel railings could allow people inside and out to gaze at one another, but the building had now been totally walled, and there were even wire netting at the top of the walls.

The school no longer felt like one. Netizens of Luo Cheng joked that this was the first student prison of their city.

Upon closer look, it did seem so.

However, the students of Daoyuan cla.s.s thought that it should be so. They were not the least concerned about why the Heavenly Network was doing this.

During the summer break, everyone went out to meet up with their high school friends. During the gatherings, they would bring up their status as Daoyuan cla.s.s students. All the old schoolmates could only be envious. Some of the girls who used to not pay them any attention were now taking more notice of them out of curiosity.

This was a sense of honour and belonging. In the future, these sense of honour and belonging could be giving them just that one more burst of energy when they shed blood and sacrifice their lives.

Li Yixiao went up to the podium, his hand clutching a crumpled script…

“Good evening everyone. We asked all of you to return to school today because there are three major announcements to be made.”

Everyone felt puzzled. Many of them were carrying bags filled with daily necessities, power banks, clothes and things like that. Actually, they were thinking the same as Lu Shu, that they would be entering a remains tonight.

It turned out that they were probably wrong.

However, the regimentation now disallowed them from talking to one another, and hence, there were no buzzing of frenzied discussion unlike in the past.

Li Yixiao took a satisfied look at everyone and continued, “First of all, I must reiterate discipline. Recently, three cases fighting Daoyuan cla.s.s students had been transferred to the Heavenly Network. Yes, I can understand all of you. Students fighting, isn’t this common?”

“However, what I want to say is, it isn’t common. All of you now hold military ranks and your calling is to protect our homeland, not use the power you gained to hurt others. After today, if any such matters arise again, the culprit will be suspended and observed. For repeat offenders, or if the case is very serious, the person will see his or her cultivation technique sealed and never to be employed.

Lu Shu nodded. They were indeed beginning to gradually place greater emphasis on discipline. A combat-fit military group must have great discipline. In the future, they may even need to be bound by discipline in various aspects.

However, this was very normal. The Daoyuan cla.s.s students of Luo Cheng were now all very powerful. It was not impossible for them to kill someone with just a punch.

“Secondly, before the National College Exams next year, there will be seven schools for pract.i.tioners built in the country.

This issue was finally being announced. All the students present were shocked. Why must pract.i.tioners still take cultural courses? Isn’t this bulls.h.i.+t?Most people had not been studying for a long time, they were all focused on practicing.

To tell the truth, Jiang Shuyi had long been telling Lu Shu the importance of studying. Lu Shu was not stressed at all. As a high-achiever, he had to maintain the dignity of one.

He was now not only self-studying and making up for physics and chemistry cla.s.ses, but was also preparing to pick up j.a.panese language, and try his best to get a good hang of it within three months.

Is study useful? Lu Shu believed yes.

Taking his Awakening element of water for example. Is it possible to turn water into ice? The answer is yes. Some people feel that snow and ice Awakening can cause greater damage, but Lu Shu believed that water element Awakening has a greater value of existence that ice and snow, closer to source.

Just from what basic knowledge he knew about chemistry, water turns into ice because the distance between molecules increases. Hence, water is denser than ice. This is also why ice floats on water. Water is special. When water becomes ice, there is a type of inter-molecular force. Hydrogen bond increases and from that forms tetrahedral structures.

However, Lu Shu’s knowledge was still pretty rudimentary and he was therefore unclear if he could switch between the structures of ice and water directly in the future. At least for now, he still did not possess the power to do so.

Still have to continue learning… he missed out too much on physics and chemistry in the past.

At this moment, Li Yixiao suddenly continued, “Thirdly, congratulations to our Luo Cheng Daoyuan cla.s.s for coming up with the first Cla.s.s C student!”

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, while Xi Fei and the others seemed to already know about this.

What was the cultivation level for everyone now? In all of Luo Cheng’s Daoyuan cla.s.s, there were only two Cla.s.s Ds, Cao Qingci and Jiang Shuyi. Therefore, Cla.s.s D was a watershed mark for everyone and whoever could attain it first would prove their prowess.

And all of a sudden, out popped a Cla.s.s C!

Lu Shu was surprised to know that despite Li Yixiao not mentioning any name, all the thousand over students were now essentially sending him their distress points.

Even though these distress points were intermittent and not of as high a frequency as from the animals in the remains, Lu Shu counted and realised that if it could maintain for half an hour, his third star would be s.h.i.+ning soon…

If all plays out well, maybe even the points for his fourth star would be half completed. Of course, he could not be sure, especially when each new star would require points in the ten thousands.

For every new star lighted up, Lu Shu could maintain slightly longer. Even though there were no qualitative change, even if it felt weird saying it this way, perseverance is still an important trait in combat. If not for Lu Shu’s help, Chen Baili may really be killed by people dragging their feet.

At this moment, everyone could no longer stand the suspense and turned their gaze Cao Qingci in the formation. In everyone’s mind, if there was a person achieving Cla.s.s C, it must be him.

However, they realised that Cao Qingci was furrowing his brows, and it seemed like a sliver of doubt was hidden within his cold demeanour.

Is it not Cao Qingci? Then who is it?

Li Yixiao said, “Lu Shu, please come up to the podium.”

What the heck!

Everyone was utterly shocked. They were only just saying that he was dabbling in improper practices and being a good-for-nothing. He was all of a sudden a Cla.s.s C master they must all look up to?!

What did Cla.s.s C mean? In the entire Yuzhou, there seemed to be only nine including Zhong Yutang?! And this was only after people were rewarded for their merits in the Beimang remains. The number had been fewer before that!

Only nine out of a population of 3 hundred million, what does that mean?

“From Liu Li’s distress…”

“From…”

Actually, when Lu Shu stepped out, students who had never held any negative views of him was still in the majority. Therefore, distress points reaped was not as much as he had imagined. Lu Shu felt disappointed about this…

Seems like there is no more hope for the fourth star…
