Chapter 1 A Fresh Start

Main World, Water Blue Star, Chidu Superpower Academy.

Another crisp morning, the weather clear and cloudless.

Students streamed out of the dormitories, chatting in twos and threes, heading to different areas for class, gradually filling the academy with life.

Zhou Jing walked out of his dormitory, enjoying the pleasant weather, and his mood brightened as well.

"Every time I come back, I feel like the world is so vibrant. I wonder if it's just psychological..."

Zhou Jing exhaled, feeling a sense of reflection.

Although he has all kinds of experiences in the Star Realm, and his memories do not disappear, the impressions are actively blurred each time he returns, so as not to confuse his own cognition.

He can distinguish between the different situations of the main body and each apostle, and separate them. He will not forget the daily experiences of the main body before each crossing, almost achieving the effect of breakpoint continuation... This is due to the assistance of the panel itself, and also the reason for the enhancement of mental power.

Zhou Jing slung his backpack over one shoulder, bought a few fresh meat buns from the cafeteria for breakfast, and ate as he walked, taking large bites.

The freshly baked buns were warm in his hand. Every bite was a mixture of the soft, glutinous, and sweet skin and the juicy and delicious filling, overflowing with aroma and filling his mouth, creating a sense of fullness.

Now that Zhou Jing has experienced two Star Realms, everything else is fine, but the food is really unbearable. Every time he wakes up and returns to the main world, his appetite is wide open, and even simple food here can be eaten with relish.

After finishing the buns, he arrived at the teaching building, squatted at the door for a while, and waited for his three childhood friends, Li Xiaoyin, Xu Lingyun, and Zhang Xiao, to enter the classroom together.

This morning was a cultural class, talking about how superpower users can correctly find their place in society, deal with ordinary people, etc. It was almost like ideological education, and many students attended the class together.

The first few rows of the classroom were basically empty. The four of them found a few seats in the back row and sat down, each taking out textbooks and "class equipment," some with headphones, some with game consoles.

More than two months had passed since the start of school, and the freshmen's novelty had long worn off. Apart from common courses such as firearms and combat, and superpower cultivation classes, many people were already distracted in some boring and uninteresting courses.

Especially the cultural courses, if the grade point average each semester was not low, and there was an exam at the end of the term, no one would listen at all.

Xu Lingyun casually chatted with Zhou Jing while using a textbook to cover his phone:

"Jing, what have you been up to lately? Why don't you ever eat with us anymore? Is our relationship fading, huh?"

"I'm rushing back to the dormitory to sleep."

Zhou Jing told the truth.

During this period, in order to cross into the Star Realm as soon as possible, he rushed back after class most nights, refusing dinner parties many times.

Xu Lingyun didn't believe him and curled his lips, "That's such a perfunctory excuse. Just tell the truth, are you in love?"

Li Xiaoyin, who was secretly eating snacks, immediately turned her gaze over upon hearing this and raised her eyebrows:

"Which girl has such good taste to fall for our Jingjing? Confess honestly!"

Zhou Jing's face stiffened, and he said righteously, "What love? I'm focusing on my studies."

The three of them rolled their eyes in unison.

Xu Lingyun suddenly paused, his tone becoming lewd, and he whispered, "Jing, haven't you been addicted to adult movies lately, rushing back every night to play with your hands? Share some good stuff with your brothers!"

"That's you. I've always kept myself clean. I even hover when I go to the bathroom, without touching anything."

Zhou Jing said some saucy words with a straight face.

Xu Lingyun's expression twitched, and he changed the topic, saying:

"Speaking of which, since I started practicing martial arts, I have endless energy every day... How's your progress? My Basic Tempering Method has reached the third level, and I can wrap Martial Dao Aura around it, and I have also mastered the Martial Dao Style."

He has a talent for Martial Dao, and the more he practices, the more experience he gains. Among the freshmen who chose this path, his cultivation progress ranks in the upper reaches. Not only did he get started early, but now he has even mastered the initial Martial Dao Style.

However, the Basic Style chosen by Xu Lingyun is not Zhou Jing's Gale Style, but the Flowery Style, which is known for its gorgeousness and complexity, and its fighting style is very different from Zhou Jing's.

"I'm just a little bit better than you." Zhou Jing shrugged.

His main body exercises step by step, and his progress in Martial Dao is similar to that of a normal person. However, Apostle No. 4, Chen Feng, has almost leveled up the Basic Tempering Method and Gale Style, but he hasn't died to become an Eternal Apostle, so his abilities cannot be converted yet.

According to the information in the main world, entering the second realm of the \[Martial Artist System] requires practicing the Basic Tempering Method and at least one Martial Dao Style.

After comparing, Zhou Jing found that the "practice" mentioned in the course does not mean leveling up, but reaching a certain standard... Converted to the panel's judgment, it is probably enough to break through at the level of lv3 Outstanding. Most Martial Daoists are promoted at this level.

Of course, this is the minimum pre-promotion requirement. The higher the level, the better the foundation, which naturally has additional benefits.

After all, it is only the entry stage, and the requirements are not so harsh. If you want to practice the Basic Tempering Method to full level before entering the second realm of Martial Dao, then there are too few people who meet the conditions, and some high-level Martial Daoists may not be able to do it.

In other words, in terms of the Basic Tempering Method alone, Chen Feng's attainments are already higher than many Martial Daoists in the main world. If he inherits it, let alone compared to students, even the teachers are not as good as him.

If the main body's progress was normal, and he had not yet passed the Martial Dao course assessment to obtain the knowledge of the next realm, he would have asked Chen Feng to change to the next level of the cultivation method.

At this time, Zhang Xiao scratched his head and said with frustration, "I only just got started a few days ago. The teacher said that I am not suitable for practicing Martial Dao and suggested that I switch to another one. I haven't decided yet."

Zhou Jing looked over and patted him on the shoulder to show his comfort.

Although Martial Dao is practiced by reckless men, and it is already very common, it still pays attention to aptitude, and Zhang Xiao really doesn't have much talent in this area.

"Which superpower system are you going to switch to?"

Zhou Jing was curious. After all, Zhang Xiao is nominally his assistant, so he still has to ask.

"Haven't decided yet." Zhang Xiao shook his head, very tangled.

Each freshman has three opportunities to choose a superpower course. He has already used one, proving that he is not suitable for Martial Dao, and there is no future for development on this path. He is very cautious with the remaining two trial and error opportunities.

Xu Lingyun interrupted from the side, "Xiao, I have a suggestion. Why don't you go and get some technology, such as machinery? You see, the three of us are all reckless men. Shouldn't there be someone with brains to balance it out?"

Li Xiaoyin was unhappy, "Who are you calling a reckless man? You two practicing Martial Dao count. I'm a superpower user!"

Upon hearing this, none of the three wanted to pay attention to her.

If your superpower isn't reckless, then there's nothing reckless in this world.

Zhang Xiao said with a bitter face, "You want me to learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry? Isn't that screwing me over? I might as well choose Mind Power Meditation. Why torture myself by learning machinery?"

"What's wrong with learning machinery? At most, you'll lose your hair. What's the use of so much hair? Can it give birth to babies?"

The two of them started arguing in a low voice.

Zhou Jing's mouth twitched. He didn't really want to participate in the bickering, so he simply listened to the lecture.

...

After a sleepy class, the four of them went to the cafeteria for lunch, and because the afternoon was each person's elective courses, they separated.

This afternoon, there was a professional course from the Exploration Bureau, which Zhou Jing needed to attend alone.

Not long after he won the runner-up in the freshman competition, he received a job offer appointment from the Exploration Bureau, and he had already agreed.

Since then, he has not only had to attend popular science courses from the Exploration Bureau, but also professional courses offered by the Exploration Bureau, and has been cultivated as a reserve official member.

Li Xiaoyin, as the freshman champion, also received job offer appointments from multiple institutions, but has not accepted any of them so far, deciding to choose after graduating freely. This is different from Zhou Jing.

According to the course notification on his personal terminal, Zhou Jing quickly arrived at the location of the class, which turned out to be the academy's apron.

In addition to him, there were a dozen other students here, all of whom were students with job offer appointments from the Exploration Bureau.

There were first-year freshmen and a few second-year older students. They had taken two or three classes together and knew each other, so they greeted Zhou Jing one after another.

There were many familiar faces inside, such as Wu Fan from his own Crown Study Department, and his old opponent, the Muscle Bro Transformation Human, Lin Kun.

These two also have good adaptability in their abilities, performed well in the freshman competition, and it is not surprising that they were noticed by the Exploration Bureau.

Zhou Jing is quite familiar with Lin Kun now. Although they had fought before, everyone is now a student, and they take the same course, so they can usually get along.

"Kunkun, how's your superpower development going lately?"

Zhou Jing poked Lin Kun's stomach and asked casually.

Lin Kun looked wary, "Why do you care about this? Are you trying to find out the enemy's situation?"

Zhou Jing curled his lips, "Do I need to? Isn't it easy for me to beat you?"

"You son of a..."

The two of them chatted happily.

Not long after, Vice President Shen Xinqin arrived. She is also a teacher in the Exploration Bureau's preparatory professional course.

Shen Xinqin clapped her hands to quiet everyone, and then said:

"Today's class will not be held here. Everyone follow me on the aircraft. We're leaving the academy."

Everyone was stunned and looked surprised.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

Shen Xinqin smiled and said:

"Today is the first time I'm taking you to the Exploration Bureau to see the work environment of the Bureau, visit the crossing device... The most important thing is to accept some inspections from explorer teams."

Hearing this, Zhou Jing's eyes moved slightly, and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

He can finally see for himself what the explorer organization in the main world is like.
