Jiang City Martial Arts University.

Awakening Test Hall.

Eight hundred freshmen will receive career awakening here and determine their class assignments for the next four years of university!

Should I join the elite class to compete in the national league, or join the regular class to just get a diploma?

It all depends on today!

Number 37, Lin Yun.

He placed his palm on the testing device, and lightning exploded, causing the holographic screen to display the title: "[Thunder Magic Prodigy - SS Rank]".

The entire room erupted in cheers, and the dean himself stood up to applaud!

Without a doubt, Lin Yun is the top freshman this year!

Number 88, Su Muyun: Sword shadows crisscrossed on the testing device, and the [Azure Phoenix Sword Radiance - S-rank] popped up.

The boys screamed wildly; a new goddess had been born!

Number 541, Wang Hou: The testing device lit up with a faint light and displayed [Qi Refiner - Grade C].

He breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't the worst.

......

Finally...

Number 800, Ye Xiao.

As he walked onto the stage, whispers had already begun to circulate among the audience.

"Is that him? The one who was specially recruited? I heard he didn't even meet our school's martial arts exam score requirement, he was a full 200 points short!"

"I heard he was an orphan, raised by a demon hunter. That demon hunter sacrificed himself, and the academy took pity on him and gave him a special admission spot."

"Pity? Martial arts academies need combat power. What use is pity? Just wait and see, he's definitely a piece of trash."

Ye Xiao placed his hand on the testing instrument.

A cool, metallic feel.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

The tester did not respond.

People in the audience started to laugh.

Five seconds.

Six seconds.

Seven seconds.

Finally, the holographic screen flickered, and two words appeared with difficulty—

[Martial Arts Master - Rank E]

The entire room fell silent for a second.

Then, a deafening roar of laughter erupted.

"A martial artist? Holy crap, in 3026, someone's still awakening that thing?"

"It is said that only those who have no talent will be pitied by the heavens and automatically be assigned to the profession of a warrior."

"Wasn't he specially recruited? How come he awakened a trash class?"

"Ha, a special admission? To put it bluntly, it's just getting in through connections. How much money did his dad donate to the school?"

Ye Xiao remained silent.

He just looked at his fist.

Seven days after transmigrating, his past life's memories told him:

The father who "got in through connections" was the adoptive father who rescued him from the monsters but couldn't get out himself.

Ye Xiao stood on the testing platform, looking at the two words on the holographic screen in front of him.

All I could hear were skepticism and ridicule from the audience.

The dean frowned and whispered to the dean of students beside him, "Special admission? This... is a bit tricky. An E-level talent student, the worst talent student in the history of Jiang University. I'm afraid the public opinion will cause problems..."

The head of the teaching department wiped his sweat: "His adoptive father sacrificed himself to save someone; the city has already reported on it, so it wouldn't be right not to confess. Besides, his adoptive father was a demon-hunting soldier..."

Lin Yun leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and smiled at the person next to him, "E-level martial artist? I've heard that the pinnacle of this profession is being our sparring partner. Perfect, I need a human target."

Su Muyun glanced at Ye Xiao, her gaze calm, devoid of mockery or sympathy, before simply looking away.

Wang Hou breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Thank goodness, I'm not last place."

......

As Ye Xiao looked at those two words, fragments of his past life's memories flashed through his mind:

Demons roam freely, their demonic energy soaring to the heavens!

A man wearing demon armor threw him out of the monster horde.

The man shouted, "Xiao'er, live on! No matter what others say, live on, live a life worthy of being called a human being!"

"Don't even think about avenging me! You just need to be okay! Live well!!"

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Then, countless monsters devoured the man.

Ye Xiao came to his senses and found that his fists were clenched so tightly they turned white.

His veins were bulging, as if they were about to burst!

......

Test complete.

The class assignment results are in!

"Lin Yun! SS-rank awakened profession, assigned to the genius class!"

Under the envious gazes of countless people, Lin Yun walked proudly towards the stage and received the special badge symbolizing his student status and class!

"Su Muyun! An S-rank awakened profession, assigned to the genius class!"

The stunningly beautiful Su Muyun has become the dream goddess of countless male students.

"Wang Hou! A C-rank awakened profession, assigned to Class 9!"

The honest and simple-minded Fatty Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard there's one gifted class, three elite classes, and twelve regular classes. Luckily, I wasn't assigned to the last regular class."

The final moment has arrived.

Everyone was curious about which class Ye Xiao would be assigned to.

"Ye Xiao, Martial Arts Rank E, assigned to... uh..." The staff member looked at the screen, then looked up somewhat awkwardly, "Elite Class 3?"

The audience erupted in uproar once again.

Elite Class 3, while not as good as Lin Yun's genius Class 1, is still a place where top students gather.

What makes an E-rank martial artist so special?

Lin Yun stood up abruptly: "Teacher, I protest. Although I'm not in the elite class, I have to say something fair!"

"Letting a good-for-nothing into the elite class is the biggest injustice to the other students in the elite class!"

The students in the elite class immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Isn't this a waste of resources?"

"That's not fair! Teacher, this is so unfair!"

"We don't want to be in the same class as a useless person!"

The students who have been assigned to the elite Class 3 are generally A-level talents.

Now, a worst E-rank talent has snuck in.

There was a feeling of humiliation and defilement towards them.

Ye Xiao on the stage remained silent.

He simply looked at Lin Yun, his gaze eerily calm.

His past life's memories told him:

These two have a long-standing feud!

The dean of students tapped on the table: "Quiet! This is the academy's decision. Ye Xiao's adoptive father is a martyr and enjoys preferential treatment. He will study in Elite Class 3, but he will not take up your class's cultivation resources."

"that's all!"

Lin Yun sneered, sat back in his chair, and looked at Ye Xiao as if he were a stray dog.

But at that moment...

Ye Xiao did it in front of all the teachers and students.

He coldly uttered, "I, Ye Xiao, disdain entering the elite class!"

"I don't need anyone's pity. I can make you all beg me to get into the gifted class with my own two fists!"

The entire audience was shocked, and everyone was in an uproar.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! A terrible student with E-level talent, and he's actually putting on an act!"

"Anyone can talk big! If you're going to act tough now, you'll be slapped in the face later."

"They're not even qualified for the elite class, yet they're dreaming of being in the genius class?"

"You're still asking him to get into the gifted program? He'll probably be forced to drop out of the regular class in less than a month!"

"..."

The dean and others looked at Ye Xiao with admiration for his courage.

"No wonder he's that man's adopted son! His speech and character are exactly like his!"

At Ye Xiao's request.

He refused to accept handouts, did not go to the elite class, and ultimately went to the regular Class 9.

There's not much difference between the lower-ranked regular classes; everyone's about the same.

Therefore, the discussions about Ye Xiao gradually disappeared.

......

The crowd dispersed.

Ye Xiao walked out of the testing hall alone.

Outside is the campus of Jiangshi Martial Arts University.

Modern teaching buildings, floating training grounds, and in the distance, the city's tallest [Martial Arts Tower].

He stood at the door, watching the new students come and go, chatting and laughing in twos and threes.

Nobody was watching him.

Nobody paid him any attention.

Everyone looked down on this poor student with E-level talent who was specially recruited.

A voice came from behind:

"Ye Xiao, right?"

Ye Xiao turned around.

He was a young man wearing a white shirt and glasses, who looked very refined.

"I'm Zhou, the homeroom teacher of Class 9. I know about your situation."

He paused.

"I know this is cruel to you, but rules are rules. Cultivation resources for any class in the school are allocated according to ranking."

"At your current awakening level... you probably won't get many cultivation resources."

Ye Xiao: "So?"

Teacher Zhou paused for a moment: "So, if you're under a lot of pressure, I can help you find a part-time job in the cafeteria. With the money you earn, you can buy some cultivation resources. Then I'll give you a campus card with some money on it. Use it first, but be careful with your spending."

Ye Xiao softened his tone and calmly pushed away Teacher Zhou's hand.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

"My father taught me from a young age that I should rely on my own hands to work hard and be self-reliant."

Done.

Ye Xiao turned around and prepared to leave.

Teacher Zhou paused for a moment, as if to say something, but in the end just sighed.

"Alright, your dorm is Room 302, Building 7, East Campus. Classes officially start tomorrow, so don't be late."
