In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 5, School Arrangements

Lincheng, the embassy of a foreign ethnic group.

A full hundred young men and women from the Cat People Group gathered in the conference room.

On the stage were two cat-people who looked to be around thirty years old. The male cat-person was handsome and composed, while the female cat-person was the representative of the exchange group.

The female catwoman said,

"Today is your first day in another world. Does anyone want to share their feelings?"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the male cat-people stood up, and the others who wanted to get up sat back down.

he said,

"Besides the fact that you can tell at a glance who has planned ahead, there's not much else worth mentioning. The most important thing is the teaching methods and theories."

"Humans use statistical methods and have a talent for 'supernatural technology' that far surpasses our cat-people. Although their individual combat strength is lower on average than ours, they possess a kind of unity that we can hardly match?"

The male cat-man on the podium nodded.

"Well said, these are the key points."

"Humanity's original mother realm had no extraordinary beings. When they first came into contact with the battlefield of the heavens, the mother realm was severely invaded, and they almost lost their mother realm."

"The turning point was when the twelve remaining kingdoms, with their strongest group of extraordinary beings, repelled the invaders with a suicidal attack, gaining a chance to catch their breath."

"After that, the human race stopped fighting among itself and united against external forces, which is how it developed to its current state. Before the transcendent realm, it had thousands of years of cultural history."

"Although our cat-people race also has a complete history, its richness cannot be compared with that of the human race. The strong members of the race speculate that this is likely the reason why the cat-people race cannot make further progress."

As the male cat-man finished speaking, a female cat-man raised her hand.

He raised his hand in greeting.

"Please speak."

"Does the elder mean we should study the history of the human race?"

The male cat-man shook his head.

"I didn't know that the elders in the clan once told me that the cat people lacked many things. The clan leader once joined forces with ten elders to launch a quest to explore the world, which consumed a lot of resources, and concluded that the human race was the best complementary race."

Another female cat-person raised her hand.

"Please speak."

"Elder, today a human male wanted to mate with me... Hmm, the human way of expressing this is... confessing love? Elder, how should we respond?"

Cat people have no sense of shame in this regard.

Want to mate? Beat me!

Human race...girlfriend? Ambiguous relationship? Wife? Mistress? Multiple wives and concubines? What are all these things?

After a moment of silence, the male cat-man spoke.

"I think the human race should have a publicly known solution to this situation."

"If the age difference between the two people is not significant, mating is not allowed unless the other party overpowers you physically... Hmm... You can't accept their confession?"

After the male cat-man finished speaking, he looked at the female cat-man.

The female cat-person hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Let's leave it at that for now. If there are any major problems, I will consult the clan leader immediately. Is there anyone else who would like to speak?"

Several cat-people raised their hands together.

After saying almost everything, the female cat-person representative spoke.

"Something happened today, the details are as follows... The result is that Lin Ran has been added to the temporary key list for increased attention."

……

Cat-people, Mother Realm.

In the middle of the dense forest.

"Chieftain, the clansmen sent to the human mother realm have very little experience interacting with humans. This should not have been a decision you made."

"The Cat-People are facing an upgrade. As the clan leader, I can clearly sense that there are fogs and abysses on the road ahead for our clan. Our combat strength is already insufficient. I paid the price of five thousand years of my lifespan to learn that the road ahead is related to the Human Race."

The clan chief closed his eyes.

"The path forward for our people cannot afford the slightest mistake."

"After me, the clan leader position is divided into two: one responsible for ensuring combat strength, and the other for communication with other clans. Bloodshed is forbidden within the clan; those who violate this rule will be punished by the entire Mother Realm."

"Chieftain, your lifespan is about to end..."

The skeptic changed his mind.

"A century of clarity. A century later, I will lose myself and merge into the Mother Realm, using this crippled body to protect the future of my people."

……

Lincheng, apartment.

After finishing his meal, Lin Ran watched some videos and then started practicing his health-preserving exercises. He didn't pay attention to Zhang Yu's instructions; he had a skill panel and didn't need to worry about these things.

11:20.

drip~

Lin Qing: Hey bro, how's your girlfriend?

Lin Ran: I have a catgirl deskmate.

Lin Qing: Well done! Take a picture tomorrow, and I'll give you my opinion. Not long ago, several of my classmates came to show off to me, look how good they are! Keep up the good work, little brother, make your older sister proud, and you'll have an even better life.

Lin Ran: ...I'll do my best.

……

5:25.

Lin Ran woke up instantly and practiced until 7:30.

[Health Preservation, Experience +20]

[Ascension Ritual, Experience +20]

After taking a bath, Lin Ran prepared three hot steamed buns for Da Ju.

Orange cat: Meow!!!

Foolish humans! I, the king, want to eat meat!

……

7:50.

[Fitness training, experience +40]

Lin Ran entered the classroom, and most of the students were already there.

Chen Fei hadn't arrived yet. His seat was occupied by a female classmate who was incredibly excited by what the adorable male cat-man had said. She blushed with excitement, her heart was racing, and she couldn't wait to give him a few hard kisses.

Good morning, meow~ How are you feeling?

Yunzhu greeted her.

"Good morning, I feel great, no discomfort at all."

Lin Ran nodded in response.

Then I opened the math and physics textbook and started class at eight o'clock.

[Exceptional Theory, Experience +5]

Class teacher Gao Jun entered the room on time, and Chen Fei came in through the back door at the last minute. He sat down awkwardly and then received breakfast from his adorable deskmate.

Lin Ran couldn't help but smile, then focused on listening to the lesson.

The first period ended.

[Exceptional Theory, Experience +213]

Gao Jun said,

"Lin Ran, come out here for a moment."

……

office.

Gao Jun smiled and asked Lin Ran to sit down.

"I understand what happened. You did a fantastic job. Did you memorize the draft I gave you yesterday?"

"I've got it."

"That's good. Your reward will be given to you in the form of spirit beast meat within two or three days after the interview. I suggest you eat it yourself and don't sell it for money."

Gao Jun said.

"Okay, I'll listen to the teacher."

"That's good. Get ready, the reporters are coming soon."

Less than ten minutes later, the reporter carrying the camera entered the school gate. Since Lin Ran had told Gao Jun about this in advance, the principal and vice principal were prepared and smiled happily at the camera.

Lin Ran answered the questions according to the prepared script, and there were no surprises during the interview.

After the interview, the principal came in person.

"Lin, this matter might not be able to be publicized. Evil gods bewitch people, and young people are even more difficult to control themselves. You can never be too careful when facing evil gods, so we might have to ask you to do something a little less. The school will increase your reward. What do you think?"

"Teacher, you are knowledgeable and experienced in this area. You can make the arrangements. It doesn't matter whether I become famous or not. As long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters. I will also work harder in my cultivation and will definitely live up to your expectations. I will never let any cult member go unpunished!"

Lin Ran said that there was no script this time; it was his own idea.

The principal was even more satisfied after hearing this.

"Not bad, not bad, Gao Jun, your students are very good. Keep up the good work. I think you have the potential to be a grade head."

Gao Jun smiled broadly and decided to give Lin Ran an extra reward.

"It's all thanks to the principal's guidance..."
