The next day, Xiao Bai was pulled out of bed by his mother.
She had hoped that maybe Master Li was just joking with her. She just needed to get some sleep and "forget" about it. But then, early in the morning, the village chief called Xiao's mother.
Xiao Bai could only reluctantly pack his bag and head to the ancestral hall. However, as soon as he arrived at the temple, he received the bad news that he had to adjust his study and training plans.
"Let me introduce some new students to you first."
The village chief stood at the podium and called out a few times. Six people of varying ages walked in. The youngest was only eleven or twelve, and the oldest was almost forty. These were all people whose physical fitness had improved significantly recently, and the village chief had also packed them into the village ancestral hall for training.
It was too tiring for him to teach them how to control their strength one by one, so he might as well just cram them all in together. As for the big age gap between him and his "classmates"? In the face of strength, none of that mattered.
Xiao Bai looked at the young man standing in the middle. Wasn't that the guy who hadn't reported the hamster he had kept last time, and then the hamster mutated and almost bit her?! Wasn't he bitten by the mutant hamster? Apparently, the clan leader had managed to heal him.
"You guys go find a place to sit down first." The village chief pointed to the empty seats below. They would have to change seats later anyway, so he let them find a place to sit down first.
"Starting today, we'll make a new study and training plan for you based on your progress. In a moment, starting with the front row, we'll go to the back room one by one to check on your progress."
The students sitting below began to whisper to each other. Is this the baseline test?
"Knock knock!" The village chief knocked his crutch twice, directing the students in the first row to take the test first.
The yellow-haired student sitting at the front row looked at a loss, and walked hesitantly and reluctantly to the office at the back. It was originally a storage room of the ancestral hall. Later, after the ancestral hall was converted into a classroom, it was also converted into the office of the village chief and teachers.
"Students who received spirit cores as rewards last time, remember to bring your spirit cores to me at noon. You don't need to go to the room for testing." The village chief continued.
Xiao Bai's eyes widened. Damn! Her spirit core was taken away by the calico cat! What should she do?
The calico cat lying on the roof of the ancestral hall basking in the sun: "A-choo~"
Which human is nagging at it?! Damn humans, I don't know what they were busy with a while ago, and they forgot to feed the cat! Luckily, the family it often eats at didn't forget to prepare food for it! But for some reason, the cat food those days was so unpalatable!
But since a few days ago, cat food is delicious again!
What the calico cat didn't know was that during those days, Xiao's mother was completely worried about the missing Xiao Bai. She was sad and sick all day long. She was just worried about the other mouths to feed at home besides her, so she could only struggle to get up and cook. The food she cooked during those days was so bad that even the chickens at home found it unpalatable!
The calico cat flicked its tail, licked its fur contentedly, and turned over to bask in the sun on its other side. Soon, the calico cat began to purr, and as its belly rose and fell, wisps of spiritual energy gathered towards it from all directions.
The sleeping calico cat had no idea that Xiao Bai was worrying about the spirit core that it had swallowed.
"Xiao Bai doesn't need to come." The village chief then added that after the child fell into a coma last time, they checked her and found that she had become enlightened. After a person's enlightenment is achieved, their physical fitness and recovery ability will be greatly enhanced. Moreover, without the guidance of a strong person, they can rely on their spirit core to achieve enlightenment on their own, which shows that this child is extremely talented.
The village chief always thought that Xiao Bai had become enlightened after using the spirit core he rewarded her, and thus this beautiful misunderstanding arose.
Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, then thought, doesn't this mean that I don't have to go to class today and can just slack off? Happy!
Next, the students took turns entering the room to take the test, and all the tests were completed in the afternoon.
After the test, the village chief divided the class into three levels according to everyone's situation: elementary, intermediate and advanced. The elementary ones, which are the ones who just arrived today, mainly conduct cultural studies and basic training, that is, they focus on learning "Dao Yi"; and the intermediate ones are students who have studied with Xiao Bai and others before but have not yet reached the conditions for enlightenment. Their main focus is to further study "Dao Yi" and reach the conditions for enlightenment as soon as possible. Their training intensity is also greater than that of the elementary students, and they are also responsible for patrolling the village.
At noon, the village chief helped the other four students who had obtained the spirit core last time to open their minds. Unfortunately, only two of them succeeded, and the other two did not. Afterwards, the village chief selected five outstanding students from the intermediate level and tried to open their minds. This time, three of them succeeded, including Zhang Kai and Xiao Ya.
So these bright-eyed students became the advanced students in the class, and together with the young man who raised hamsters, there were seven of them in total.
The young man's name was Wu Hui. Last time, he was bitten by a mutant hamster, and the village chief could only use the spirit core to treat him. As a result, he became enlightened by accident.
Xiao Bai didn't like the young man named Wu Hui very much. Wu Hui, misunderstanding, the name sounded weird, and she almost got hurt because of him last time.
But whether they like it or not, they will start training together from tomorrow.
Yes, the village chief arranged for the senior students to focus on practical training. It was only after the Dark Domain incident that the village chief decided to adjust the training methods. He had originally thought that by hiding in the village, he would have enough time for these young people to slowly learn and cultivate step by step, but he didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes.
Since they have to face it early, they have to improve their abilities as soon as possible. Flowers grown in a greenhouse cannot adapt to the bloody storm outside.
Thus, it was decided that students of three levels, elementary, intermediate and advanced, would study in the same class.
Xiao Bai was not surprised. After all, when they were young, there were too few teachers in the small mountain village, so usually one teacher had to teach two or three classes at the same time.
The village head would do this at the time: after arranging homework for the first graders, he would give a lecture to the second graders in the same classroom. After lecturing the second graders, he would assign homework to them in the next class and then give a lecture to the first graders.
Looking back now, it was really not easy for the village chief back then. So even though the old man is old now and can no longer swing the cane, as children raised by the village chief, they still dare not act presumptuously in front of him.
Now that he was back to this class mode, Xiao Bai felt mixed emotions for a moment.
So, the new training course started from the next day.
The first training session that Xiao Bai and his team faced the next day was mountain training.
