Chapter 203: Chapter 7: Academic Points Leaderboard, Renowned in Wu’an_2
The Director of Academic Affairs at the Zhi Ge Department adopted a rotation system, where each professor could serve as the Director for a month. During their tenure, they had the authority to amend the Zhi Ge Department’s curriculum or to organize competitions and activities they deemed necessary.
Wen Ke, when serving as the head of Academic Affairs, was never too hot or too cold in her approach and had not made any drastic changes. This time, awarding a student 30 Academic Points for a talent test was indeed the most “unprecedented” act she had taken in years.
“Since nobody has any objections to the 30 Academic Points, let’s discuss how we should cultivate this student, Li Fei, going forward.”
A deputy director of the Academic Affairs office spoke up.
“His Implant is a high-ranking Second Grade ‘steel armor’.”
Wen Ke, who had been silent up to that point, suddenly spoke.
“A high-ranking Second Grade ‘steel armor’? That’s not a waste of such good talent; it seems the teacher from the Martial Arts Hall is no mediocre individual,” commented the professor who had earlier suggested giving Li Fei a maximum of 25 Academic Points.
“The foundations of Martial Arts suited for a high-ranking Second Grade ‘steel armor’ are quite rare, almost all of them top-tier. How about we have him practice ‘Breaking Prison Netherworld King’?” proposed another professor.
“Although ‘Breaking Prison Netherworld King’ is formidable, it has fewer combinable Divine Skills. I think it would be better to have him practice ‘Heavenly Spring Sea’, especially since our Wuda possesses a relatively complete lineage, increasing his chances of becoming a Grandmaster in the future.”
“Isn’t ‘Heavenly Spring Sea’ a bit of a waste of his talent? I think we could have him follow in Feng Qing’s footsteps and practice ‘Qinghua Linglong’.”
“To practice ‘Qinghua Linglong’, the order in which he integrates the Implant isn’t correct.”
“It’s not beyond remedy, though.”
The room filled with discussion.
What they cared about now was the path of Li Fei’s cultivation after he would reach the Tao Foundation Stage in the future.
After a lengthy debate, Wen Ke slowly spoke:
The room fell silent as all eyes turned toward her.
“I think how to proceed in the future should be up to student Li Fei himself. Right now, we should first think of ways to help him Breakthrough his Realm,” Wen Ke suggested in a gentle tone.
“That’s true. Once he gets through the vigorous training bottleneck, discussing matters of Tao Foundation won’t be too late,” nodded the professor who had suggested a maximum of 25 Academic Points for Li Fei.
Overcoming the vigorous training stage required a solid Heart Realm, and many geniuses got stuck there.
“Then, I’ll trouble the professors present to introduce a few new courses,” said the Academic Affairs’ deputy director.
Three professors agreed to develop new courses, all for one freshman—a striking testament to their dedication!
Duanmu Weicai, who had just finished his practice, looked at the newcomer in disbelief:
“Are you sure there’s no mistake?”
“Young master, it’s absolutely true. The Academic Points board lists ‘Li Fei, freshman, 30 points’. It’s definitely him,” the newcomer assured Duanmu Weicai.
Being from the Duanmu family and able to enter Wuda meant he was also of exceptional talent, equal to the other chosen ones in Wuda. However, he always had to lower his head in front of Duanmu Weicai.
“What? 30 points!” Duanmu Weicai showed a rare loss of composure.
A Wang Fengqing scoring 29 points had already dazzled Wuda for several years, causing the proud Duanmu Weicai to pale in comparison, and now another person appeared who scored 30 points on the talent test!
“What kind of place is Xing City? How could a small city produce two peerless geniuses at the same time?” Duanmu Weicai found it incredible.
“Young master, you had me check Li Fei’s information, and I’ve found it. Here are the results.”
The newcomer handed a piece of paper to Duanmu Weicai.
Duanmu Weicai took the paper and scanned through the content.
“A Tao Foundation Stage teacher? And a Tao Foundation Stage maternal aunt as well? No wonder he was able to Breakthrough from the Embryo Cultivation Stage to the Body Breaking Late Stage in just half a year,” Duanmu Weicai murmured.
“Young master, should we recruit this Li Fei into our ranks?”
“Of course!” Duanmu Weicai stated affirmatively.
At this moment, many people throughout Wuda, and even in Datong Prefecture City, were studying Li Fei’s information and planning to recruit him.
“Xiao Fei, you’re really awesome!”
Li Tianyu lost count of how many times she had said this to Li Fei.
“Alright, sis, stop the praise. Tell me about how to attend classes and earn Academic Points,” Li Fei said to Li Tianyu.
After the talent test concluded, he went through a series of actions to complete his enrollment:
Paying tuition fees, collecting the uniform, receiving the course schedule and related materials, registering and obtaining his ID tag, and finally getting the keys to his dormitory.
Having finished all that, he was now carrying his luggage, ready to head back to his dormitory.
Li Tianyu and Chen Lixin carried quite a few of Li Fei’s things, intending to escort him to his dorm.
“Classes at Wuda are very flexible; you go to whichever teacher’s class you want to attend. The course schedule you received earlier lists the content, times, and locations of each teacher’s daily classes. If there are updates to the schedule, the school will notify you in time, and then you can simply pick up a new one,” Li Tianyu explained to Li Fei:
“However, while choosing classes is free, it doesn’t mean that you can attend any teacher’s class. Each teacher’s name on the course schedule is followed by a note indicating a score. This score is the threshold, and you must have earned a total number of Academic Points that meet or exceed this score to qualify for that teacher’s class; otherwise, you cannot attend.”
“For example, to attend any of the classes by Zhi Ge Department’s special-grade lecturers, you generally need to have accumulated at least 20 Academic Points. As for the professors’ classes, none of them are below 30 points. Thus, freshmen and sophomores mostly attend classes by First Level and Second Level lecturers. Some Third Level lecturers also have substantial content worth attending. With your current 30 Academic Points, Xiao Fei, you have a wider selection of classes to choose from. I’ll recommend a few impressive special-grade lecturers to you later.”
