Zhang Yuan, a new student at Tongcheng University, has been frail and sickly since childhood. To prolong his life, he embarks on the path of cultivation, and from then on, he becomes obsessed with ...
After a day of rest following the military training, classes officially begin on the third day.
Zhang Yuan's long-awaited university life has finally begun.
But Zhang Yuan's life goals have changed somewhat; he no longer wants to study hard, find a good job, make a lot of money, and marry a beautiful wife.
His life's pursuit has become diligent cultivation, striving to become a Yang God Immortal.
Especially after embarking on the path of immortality, his body continued to improve, which strengthened his determination to cultivate.
Academic performance?
It doesn't seem to matter anymore. Once I've mastered the cultivation and learned magic, I can just use magic to cheat!
Do I still need to study hard?
hey-hey.
So, in the classroom, while each teacher is giving a serious lecture on the podium and the students are listening attentively and taking careful notes, there is always an incongruous scene in the last row of the classroom.
A handsome boy with short hair and a fair complexion like white jade always sat alone in the last row. He neither listened to the lecture nor took notes. As soon as class started, he would close his eyes, straighten his spine, and then his whole mind would wander into the void!
I don't know what they're doing.
Even if he occasionally opens his eyes, he only glances lightly at the podium and other students before closing his eyes again and entering a state of absentmindedness!
University professors are much more lenient with students than high school teachers. Even if some students fall asleep in class, the professors are generally too lazy to lecture.
However, isn't this new student going a bit too far?
It's only been a few days since school officially started, and they're already blatantly sleeping in class!
Are you here to study at university, or to sleep at school?
Do I still care about my grades?
They've utterly degenerated and are beyond redemption.
That's enough, that's enough.
At such times, the teacher on the podium would always hesitate to speak, then shake his head and sigh!
Zhang Yuan practiced diligently every day, practicing the Vajra Longevity Exercise in the morning and the Rejuvenating Sleeping Exercise at night, and practicing the Nourishing Spirit Technique in class. Finally, on the day before the National Day holiday, he made a new breakthrough.
That afternoon, there was no class during the first period.
Zhang Yuan was practicing the Vajra Longevity Exercise alone on the back mountain. When he practiced it for the second time, it felt as if a membrane was pierced at the Yongquan point on the sole of his foot. Then, Qi entered his foot from the ground through the Yongquan point and went up along the meridians of his leg.
After absorbing some spiritual energy, the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of Zhang Yuanjue's foot closed automatically, and his legs were now full of power.
He tried it out and found that as long as he had a thought, the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of his foot could open and close automatically, just like the Qihai acupoint, and could also absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
On the hill behind the school, Zhang Yuan lightly jumped in place.
He leaped 2 meters high!
Zhang Yuan was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
After the Yongquan acupoint was activated, he felt a significant increase in leg strength. If he were to fight the instructor again now, Zhang Yuanjue felt he might be able to kick the instructor flying with one kick.
However, Zhang Yuan was unsure of the exact extent of his leg strength.
The hillside forest behind Tongcheng University is full of trees of all sizes.
Zhang Yuan chose a beech tree that was about five meters tall and as thick as his calf. He took a breath, then tensed his right leg and kicked the trunk of the beech tree.
The beech tree shook violently, its leaves falling like snowflakes, and the trunk snapped with a crack where Zhang Yuan had kicked it.
Splash!
The beech tree suddenly fell down.
Zhang Yuan never expected that he could kick a beech tree in half. He couldn't dodge in time, and the beech tree branch scratched his arm, leaving a shallow mark.
However, he was increasingly excited.
Am I really that strong in the legs?!
After looking around the woods and finding no one there, Zhang Yuan pushed the broken beech tree aside, picked up the book he had placed on the ground, and quietly went down the mountain.
...
Zhang Yuan still has one class at four o'clock in the afternoon.
After descending the mountain, seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Yuan went straight to the classroom.
During class, Zhang Yuan listened for a while but lost interest, so he started practicing his mental cultivation technique. Soon it was time for get out of class to end at 5 o'clock.
Zhang Yuan left the classroom with the flow of people.
A huge poster has appeared on the wall of the School of Arts and Philosophy teaching building at some point.
The School of Humanities and Philosophy's 2021 Freshman Basketball Tournament is now open for registration!
To enrich students' recreational activities and promote class communication, our college has decided to hold a basketball tournament for the Class of 2021 freshmen...
Zhang Yuan squeezed into the crowd, scanned the poster's contents, and finally his gaze fell on the last few lines of text on the poster.
The first-place team in the freshman basketball tournament will receive a cash prize of 5,000 yuan! The second-place team will receive 3,000 yuan, and the third-place team will receive 1,000 yuan!
All students are welcome to participate!
The first-place team will receive a prize of 5000 yuan!
A commotion erupted from the crowd.
For most students, 5,000 yuan is a considerable sum of money. If we assume a class of 10 students, each student would receive 500 yuan!
Among the freshmen, many who have played basketball and consider themselves to be pretty good at it are already excited.
Zhang Yuan stroked his chin, feeling a little tempted as well.
If you can participate in the competition and win an award, you can earn some money and alleviate financial pressure.
He used to be in poor health, so he had never played basketball before and only had a superficial understanding of the rules of basketball. Therefore, he was not confident about his ability to play basketball well.
However, he has been working hard to improve his physical fitness during this period, and his physical condition has undergone a qualitative change. He just doesn't know if it's too late to learn basketball now.
Zhang Yuan looked at the poster for a while, pondered for a moment, and then silently withdrew from the crowd.
...
The classrooms of the School of Arts and Philosophy are located in the central area of the school. To get back to the dormitory, one needs to pass through the teaching buildings of other colleges and the gymnasium.
It was peak time for students to leave get out of class, and many students were streaming out of their classrooms and walking along the main road of Tongcheng University, which was lined with Bauhinia trees.
The start of the new semester is also the time for various student clubs to recruit new members.
The various clubs at the school set up tables and chairs, displayed posters with things like aluminum cans, and shouted their names on the roadside to attract new students to sign up.
Zhang Yuan slowly walked by, observing these groups as he went.
Computer Association, Poetry Association, Dance Association, Photography Association...
There are quite a few clubs!
At the recruitment booths of many student clubs, groups of three or five students were gathered around some new students.
The dance association and photography association attracted the most onlookers, while groups like the computer association and mountaineering association drew significantly fewer interested people.
"The Computer Association is recruiting! We welcome freshmen from the Class of 2021 to join us and study computer knowledge together."
"Dance Club is recruiting! Want to learn to dance with beautiful senior girls? Want to dance with handsome senior boys? Join the Dance Club now!!"
...
Zhang Yuan tilted his head, looking around.
Under the bauhinia trees, the main road of the campus was bustling with activity in the evening, but Zhang Yuan had no interest in these clubs; he only wanted to focus on cultivating immortality.
After walking a few hundred meters and passing several club recruitment booths, the number of students on the road gradually decreased, and it was no longer as crowded as before.
As Zhang Yuan passed by the stadium, he saw a strange club.
At this club's recruitment booth, almost no students went up to inquire. Occasionally one or two students would stop for a few glances before quickly leaving, a stark contrast to the bustling scenes at other clubs' recruitment booths.
"Hey kid, have you heard of the martial arts association?"
As Zhang Yuan passed by the deserted martial arts association, a burly senior student with a fleshy face and a very strong and muscular build asked him a question.
