Meeting an Old Friend

When the day of the final Assessment came for Xintong there was little surprise to her results. Out of the people who got accepted she ranked 34th which was a huge surprise for Jun. While its not top 10 it was still really good.

The other surprising thing was Chancellor Ning made her a direct disciple of her's even through she come in 34th place along with the first place winner Dai Lang.

There was a bunch of ceremonies and other celebrations before they finally gathered everyone into a square building before separating them into different classes. Jun was in the earth class but it was technically speaking Lin that was in the earth class. This has never happened before as no one has ever done a double admission therefore they would never expect that Lin and Jun were the same person especially since Jun was in the Pill Division while Lin was in the Martial Combat division.

Xiao Mei was also in the Earth's division along with her brother. Right now about 80% of the students in the Heaven's division were either half step King's realm or first stage King's realm. They had a look of superiority that low key pissed off Jun. At the same time it ignited his competitive spirit.

An Elderly man full of vitality took the stage.

"For those of you who have made it this far it means you are all exceptionally talented individuals. While that may be true in the outside world in here you will eventually become cannon fodders, and stepping stones for the point one percenters. As for those that got into the Heaven's class. Don't be complacent as those that are currently in the Earth class only lack resources and opportunity. Over the 100 years that I have been principle here I have seen the fall of many Heaven class students due to their arrogance and thinking they can rely and talent forever. For the Earth class students your goal should be to enter the Heaven's class. While for Heaven's class your goal should be to the Divinity class. In the past 100 years only 2 students have ascended to that class and they are now peak Heaven's realm," said the Principle in one breath. "In this world resources are limited and are only given to the strong. Study hard, practice hard, cultivate hard and one day you may stand where I am today. Now I will explain the structure of my school. Each year there will be a test to move up a great. It will be based on comprehension, and cultivation. Resources will be given base on rank and that will not be the only way to gain resources. There are missions, record breakers, competitions, and duals where you can earn Ziren Points. These points can be used to buy cultivation manuals, pills, weapons and etc. Those are options provided by the school but there are other options out there that you will eventually learn about. For any other information access our website zirencollege.com and learn more there. Lastly we prohibit kill inside school ground or other students. If you have a grievance either wait till you graduate or bring it before an elder. That will be all. Work hard!"

The principle left the stage just like that and another person took over. He began to separate everyone into their dorms and provide their daily necessities and used some kind of device to leave an imprint spiritual code on the student's emblem.

Jun didn't end up Dorming with anyone from the WL pill shop group since Xiao Mei was a girl and was therefore in the girl's dorm. Xiao Hui was in the formation dorm. San Ti and Ziju were both their seniors in the school therefore at a higher dorm.

Xintong was a Heaven's class student and a direct disciple of the Chancellor therefore she has a special dorm too.

Leaving Lin to live in a room of 4 people.

Sigh. Please don't let my roommates be idiots.

Wait. I don't even have to dorm with them… I got a special dorm too. Then again its in repair due to the explosion and should be done by tomorrow. Jun thought.

There wasn't much to settle into as Jun just went to his room and lied down on the bed. He then brought out a pair of contact lens from his inter spacial ring and puts it on. From there a screen appeared in front of him and using his soul he began to enter the Ziren college website.

He scrolled through the entire thing and found that the place sold a lot of stuff. From mystic art manuals, all the way to blood essence. If the price is right even essence fire but the amount is astronomical through.

While scroll through he saw that there were about a hundred items that were locked and he couldn't get access too. With a slight grin he had the urge to hack the system. After a couple probes he found that unless he used the Quantum reality computers he will have to expand a lot of energy to do so. So currently for him its not worth it. Therefore he continue to scroll through the website.

On one of the pages he found something very interesting. It was a mission. The principle's life companion the Sky Phoenix is currently sick. It won't eat and drink. The phoenix is currently getting sicker and sicker each day. None of the Beast tamers, or beast doctors know what is wrong with it. The principle even invited many well known pill doctors and beast researchers to no avail.

The reward is a little ambiguous as it only states a favor from the principle. It just so happens that in Xintong's brother's book that he left to him had a section for the Sky Phoenix who currently possess the purest phoenix bloodline in this era. Therefore it also wield's the strongest fire essence known on this continent. Due to that the book it states some of the pills that require its' fire essence for refinement. There were also the 2nd, 3rd and 4th best solutions.

The bad part is that the book isn't comprehensive enough as it only states habitat, migration habits, favorite food, habits, and birthing cycles.

Xintong's birthday is still another month or two away. I'll see what I can do. But first things first I need to hit up their library to look at all the sword manuals they have. Jun thought with a creepily giddy smile.

He walks into the bathroom and took off his disguise and reverted back to the cold and serious Xing Jun with his hair combed back. He walks out of the dorm and with a cursory glance found the combat library.

As he walks through the campus at a leisure pace a sudden shout interrupted his thought process.

"HEY XING JUN YOU SON OF B!" an young man's voice shouted across the field. A whole bunch of students looks at him in annoyance.

Jun turns around with cold glare. He saw a young man near his age with dirty brown hair, with bright brown eyes. He could be considered above above average in looks with his chiseled chin.

Jun's eyes brighten up in surprise as smirk spread across his face. He knew he saw someone familiar during the testing stage before.

"Hey Noyt," Jun replied still with that expressionless face.

"I feel like you're staring me to a court room," Noyt joked. "This is crazy. What did I do?"

…

"I feel like you're going to come over and snuff me," Noyt continued jokingly as he walks closer to Jun. "What, you're not allowed to talk?"

"Snuff you? Maybe if you keeping talking."

"I see. So it's personal?"

Jun crackles his fist.

"Good God! Chill I was joking."

"Hahaha it's been a while how have you been?" Jun asks.

"If you don't put alway those weapons. It wouldn't be well." Noyt said. "Lets go somewhere else and catch up."

They eventually ended up at a hotpot restaurant.

"How's your dad doing?" Jun asks. Remembering how sick he was back then.

"That asshole? Knocked the wood already."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't feel bad. He was an asshole to me anyway. Can never please him no matter what I do."

"I know that feeling," Jun grumbles and the waitress arrives.

"How's your father doing?"

"On the way to knocking the wood too," Jun answered still with a blank face.

"Hey I'd apologize but isn't that what we are going for here? Plus you're poker face makes it really hard."

"You're cultivation? Why is it peak nascent realm?" Exclaimed Noyt in surprise.

"Some stuff happened. I'm actually stronger now than before," Jun answered with a bragging tone.

"Cocky as always, hahaha."

It might have been their discontent for their fathers, that they became such great friends as they both have something in common. They both felt the under appreciation of their fathers. they both felt that they can never get their father's approval.

For Noyt he won his town's and state's construct competition for his age group and 10 years older group too but still his father was like you can do better.

As for Jun, he won the entire younger generation's pre college's pill competitions from locals to outer states one but still his father continues to push him further and could never gain his approval.

"So how do you really feel about your father's ya know?" Jun asks while dipping a piece of fatty beef into the pot.

"Honestly? I was pretty devastated that year but I moved passed that." Noyt sighed. Then his face turned completely serious. "But he left me his legacy and its time I complete it. Can you set up an isolation formation in this room?"

"Give me a sec." Jun said as he toss out some seals. Along with some formation flags. "Done."

"Still astonish how you set things up in less than a couple seconds."

Jun gave shrug. "Not as impressive as when you build an entire construct out of scrap in a couple seconds."

Noyt then brought out a uniquely marked box. From a glance Jun can tell this box was like a ghost box as Jun can see it but can't detect it with his spiritual sense.
