[Xu Yang, 37 years old, S-class Awakener, completed credits at Liangzhou University in 3014, continued studies for two more years, worked as a pioneer after graduation, joined Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company in 3019 to engage in desolate beast-related scientific research, and was hired as a teacher at Liangzhou University in 3027, proficient in desolate beast knowledge, currently serves as the "Desolate Beast Cognition and Anatomy" teacher]
Very simple information, these materials are not secrets, just the resume used by the school to hire teachers—an entirely normal record.
"What is Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Martial Arts students don't necessarily have to become pioneers after graduation; they can work in various industries. You should understand, the world we live in is unique. Beyond our territory lies the external wastelands, surrounded by countless desolate beasts. Such a small place, with a population of over a billion, faces a significant energy problem. Not everyone's system can sustain themselves, so naturally, some people need to venture into the external wastelands to hunt desolate beasts and extract energy from their abilities. Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company is one of those desolate beast energy companies," Elder Luo explained succinctly.
Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.
Judging from this information alone, Xu Yang didn't seem to have big issues. He appeared to be a normal individual. He had been a university teacher at Liangzhou University for three years, and hadn't just arrived this year.
So why did he use a strange hound to test his strength after he awakened his system?
Was it because he was Xiang Tianxing's son?
Then, did he meet his father while working as a pioneer?
"What are you thinking about?" Elder Luo asked.
"Nothing, I just found it puzzling. Right, Elder Luo, can all teachers at the school be trusted?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Of course, teachers at Liangzhou University are one in a hundred, how could they teach the elite without solid professional skills?"
"I mean in terms of character," Xiang Beifei said.
Elder Luo turned his head puzzledly and looked at Xiang Beifei, asking, "Are you still thinking about Yuchi Shen?"
Xiang Beifei paused, then said, "Uh, sort of!"
This time, he wasn't thinking about Yuchi Shen. At least Yuchi Shen wore his "dislike for Xiang Beifei" openly on his face, without any disguises.
But with Xu Yang, even knowing his system, one couldn't be sure of his intentions.
Elder Luo said, "Yuchi Shen, although unpleasant to look at, is trustworthy. He has been teaching at the school for over a decade. I know what kind of person he is, and the school's teachers are all trustworthy."
Xiang Beifei said, "What Mr. Yuchi did last time isn't something that can be explained with trust."
Elder Luo was stunned for a moment, chuckled, and said, "The admission assessment was indeed wrong on his part. I've beaten him up for you last time and warned him. He won't lay a hand on you now."
He hadn't gone easy on Yuchi Shen that time.
"But I still need to attend his class, right? He teaches 'External Wastelands Simulation,' and with so many teachers for that course, isn't it just my luck to be assigned to his class?" Xiang Beifei asked.
The elective courses for the first week hadn't been finalized, and schedules weren't produced yet. The classes today were arranged temporarily, and Xiang Beifei wasn't even clear about who his teachers were.
There were many teachers for the same course, but Xiang Beifei had a hunch that his External Wastelands Simulation class had already been assigned.
Mysteriously, Elder Luo said, "Not exactly, I sneaked a look yesterday, and you were indeed assigned under him, but I forcefully shifted you to Chang Feng's class for the External Wastelands Simulation. You don't need to worry about that."
Xiang Beifei was quite surprised.
"After the incident last time, I knew Yuchi Shen definitely wouldn't treat you fairly. I can't let him bother you again. I have to look out for you, right?"
Elder Luo winked at Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei felt much better. Being a hanger-on for a big shot had its perks.
"Thank you, Elder Luo."
"No big deal," Elder Luo said casually, cracking sunflower seeds contentedly.
Ye Changfeng also taught External Wastelands Simulation, and his skills were not inferior. Following Ye Changfeng would definitely be better than following Yuchi Shen.
"Alright, since I've sorted that for you, you need to do me a favor now," Elder Luo added.
"Sure, anything," Xiang Beifei said.
"You've heard about the student clubs, right?" Elder Luo asked.
Every freshman dormitory was stuffed with various flyers, all about student clubs recruiting new members. Xiang Beifei had seen a few but wasn't interested in clubs.
"You must join the Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes Club," Elder Luo chuckled.
Xiang Beifei asked, "What kind of club is that? Is it mandatory to join?"
Elder Luo nodded and explained, "You shouldn't think that student clubs are just minor affairs. The school requires teachers with over ten years of teaching experience to be in charge of a club. The orientation of Martial Arts College's student clubs is based on pioneers and defenders, meaning that anyone who enters the university must receive training related to pioneers and defenders, even if they don't pursue that path in the future."
Elite universities set high standards to train martial arts students, naturally aiming to let students take up the future defense of the Jiuzhou Alliance.
Every moment, beast tides attack the borders of the Jiuzhou Alliance. While small-scale beast tides can be repelled, there's concern over large-scale tides breaking through the defenses. At such times, the university's students would unquestionably stand up to resist the desolate beasts.
