August 5th marked the official start of the academic year.

Colleges and teachers had all been selected.

If there were still students who felt they hadn’t finished selecting… well, sorry, that meant no teacher had taken a liking to you. Go cultivate on your own!

…………

Last night, the security team had already issued Su Yu’s class schedule.

Unlike the elementary and high school classes for freshmen, Su Yu would be attending the intermediate class.

…………

Divine Literature College, Intermediate Class.

When Su Yu arrived, the large classroom was already full of people.

The Divine Literature College was the largest college in the academy, with even more students than the Willpower College. After all, divine literature was too mysterious, and while cultivating willpower was fast, it couldn’t compare to the anticipation that divine literature inspired.

Out of a total of 2,000 students, at least 1,000 had come to the Divine Literature College, with nearly 600 in the intermediate class alone.

And these 600 people were all taking their first class in a single large classroom.

The classroom was big, and there were a lot of people.

Su Yu kept a low profile, and after arriving, he didn’t wander around, but sat down in a corner.

Scanning the surroundings, Su Yu quickly spotted a familiar face, Liu Yue.

Liu Yue was also a genius from Nan Yuan, with a willpower level above 20%, so it wasn’t surprising to see her in the intermediate class. The other people from Nan Yuan weren’t there, probably in the elementary class, since they weren’t as good as Su Yu. When Bai Feng first came to Nan Yuan, Su Yu’s willpower accumulation was only around 10%.

Besides Liu Yue, Su Yu soon saw another person he wasn’t very familiar with.

Kong Sheng!

Su Yu’s memory was still good. He was one of the eight young geniuses who went to Nan Yuan, and part of Zhou Tianqi’s group.

Including Wu Lan, 3 out of the 9 were admitted.

Wu Lan and Zhou Tianqi would definitely be admitted, and the last one, without a doubt, was this Kong Sheng!

Su Yu remembered that this guy scored 150 on the culture class exam that day.

In Nan Yuan, that was considered top-notch.

Su Yu looked at him, and at that moment, Kong Sheng was also looking around. Their eyes suddenly met, and the next moment, Kong Sheng’s expression changed!

Su Yu!

He was most afraid of meeting Su Yu in the academy. This guy had made a promise to kill them when they got to the academy.

Zhou Tianqi was afraid of dying and ran away, directly applying to the Nine Heavens Academy.

But he was a little reluctant to give up the Great Xia Civilization Academy, and ultimately chose to apply to the Great Xia Civilization Academy.

And he chose the Divine Literature College!

Now, seeing Su Yu, he felt a little flustered, but quickly calmed down. This was the academy, what was he afraid of Su Yu doing?

He heard that Su Yu had taken Bai Feng as a teacher, so what?

There were plenty of teaching assistants in the academy!

Surely Bai Feng wouldn’t bother him, a student, would he?

Kong Sheng, who was originally a little flustered, gradually calmed down, glanced at Su Yu, and quickly turned his head away.

Students arrived one after another, and the classroom gradually became lively.

People who knew each other, and those who didn’t, started chatting. Some of the students from the ordinary dorms, who lived 8 to a room, quickly became acquainted, while Su Yu seemed a bit lonely.

He used to live in a single room, and later simply ran to the lab. In the huge classroom, besides the two acquaintances, he didn’t know anyone.

Liu Yue was chatting with some girls, and Su Yu naturally wouldn’t go over to her. Even if Liu Yue came over, Su Yu wouldn’t chat much, as they weren’t very close anyway.

Just as he was feeling lonely, a light cough came from outside the door.

The students instantly quieted down, and the next moment, a young man walked in.

He had a slight smile on his face and a book tucked under his arm.

Walking to the front of the podium, the young man gave a bright smile, “Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am the new student general instructor for the Divine Literature College in the 350th year of the Anping Era. To put it bluntly, I’m in charge of all the new students this year, regardless of whether they’re in the elementary, middle, or high school classes!”

“My name is Liu Hong!”

“Boom!”

The classroom became a bit noisy.

“Assistant Instructor Liu Hong? The Liu Hong on the assistant instructor leaderboard who’s ranked 14th?”

“It should be, he’s so young. I didn’t expect him to be our general instructor!”

“I heard that these genius assistant instructors rarely teach classes. General instructor… usually it’s some older junior researcher who takes on the role, right?”

“…”

The students of the Divine Literature College had obviously been busy these past few days.

They knew a bit about the situation in the academy. Hearing the name Liu Hong, most of them knew who he was.

And Su Yu, sitting below the stage, had a slight change in expression.

Liu Hong!

He had heard this name a long time ago. Even Liu Hong’s younger brother, Liu He, had caused him trouble before, though he had only said a few words, Su Yu still wrote it down in his little notebook.

Now, the main character had arrived!

This was Bai Feng’s rival. And now, obviously, he was also his own rival, since he had taken Bai Feng as his teacher.

Liu Hong looked at everyone with a smile, letting them talk. When they were almost done talking, he smiled and said, “Everyone, be quiet for a moment!”

The stage instantly fell silent.

“The general instructor for new students, there’s not actually much to do. The main task is to be responsible for some daily assessments, monthly exams, quarterly exams, and other organizational work.”

Liu Hong smiled and said, “Of course, there are also some miscellaneous things, like student promotions.”

“You are students in the intermediate class. If you want to enter the advanced class, you have to find me for the assessment.”

After saying that, Liu Hong continued, “Today is the first class of the semester, so it’s a large class, mainly to explain your tasks and what you need to do next, so you don’t feel at a loss.”

“Of course, it’s also to understand the situation of this year’s students!”

Liu Hong always had a smile on his face, looking very sunny.

This was different from what Su Yu had imagined!

The Liu Hong he imagined had a gloomy face, like the whole world owed him something, gloomy, deep, sinister…

But at this moment, Liu Hong shattered his fantasy.

He looked very sunny and handsome. Some of the girls in the class were even getting a little infatuated. Handsome, strong, and young, girls easily become infatuated with men like that. If they hooked up with Liu Hong, they wouldn’t have to work hard anymore.
Liu Hong didn’t care about the gazes. He opened the booklet in his hand and smiled, “Interesting, this year’s intermediate class is a bit different from previous years. We actually have a top-tier student in our class. This hasn’t happened in previous years. The last time was three years ago when a top-mid-tier student entered the intermediate class.”

“Is Su Yu here?”

Liu Hong looked down, and low discussions arose in the class.

Su Yu’s expression changed slightly. He stood up and said, “Teacher, I am Su Yu.”

“Good, very good!”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded. “I hope you can enter the advanced class as soon as possible. The intermediate class is not suitable for you, after all, you are a top-tier student… Of course, I don’t mean to look down on the other students in the class. I’m just worried that studying with a top-tier student will put some pressure on everyone.”

After speaking, Liu Hong pressed his hand down and smiled, “Sit down, don’t be nervous.”

After Su Yu sat down, Liu Hong continued, “Student Su Yu, since you are in this class, you will be the class monitor of this year’s intermediate class! You must take on this responsibility and lead everyone to work hard together!”

Su Yu frowned slightly, raised his hand, and stood up, saying, “Teacher, I don’t think I’m suitable. I don’t know much about the academy. How about someone else…”

“No, it’s you!”

Liu Hong smiled and said, “Student Su Yu, don’t shirk responsibility! With great power comes great responsibility! There are benefits to being a class monitor. You will be rewarded with 3 merit points per month. Many people want this job, but who made you a top-tier student? It’s you, and it will save everyone from competing!”

At that moment, many people in the class changed their expressions.

Some students who knew the situation and were originally preparing to compete for the class monitor position were now somewhat disappointed. Some even couldn’t help but say, “Teacher, is there no election?”

Liu Hong smiled and said, “In previous years, there would definitely be an election, but not this year. Top-tier, to be honest, even in the advanced class, they are competitive. To put it bluntly, this is the academy, where the strong are respected. If he doesn’t become the class monitor, it will be difficult for whoever does to convince the others.”

“Let’s just do it this way!”

Liu Hong looked at Su Yu and smiled, “Student Su Yu, you must take on the responsibility! If you don’t do well, then I will have misjudged you.”

Su Yu’s eyes showed some unease. What did he mean?

Was he giving him benefits?

3 merit points per month. If another teacher had asked him to be the class monitor, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but Liu Hong asking him to be it really made him uneasy.

3 merit points were quite a lot!

Don’t look at Su Yu spending money lavishly now, but 3 merit points, for other students, they would have to kill someone above the seventh level of Thousand Jun to get!

And it was every month!

Who wouldn’t want such a good thing.

“Is he trying to make me a target?”

Su Yu secretly speculated, but felt it wasn’t necessary. Was there a need to make himself a target?

To put it bluntly, what impact could the students in the intermediate class have on Su Yu?

Liu Hong’s smile became even brighter. He continued, “The matter of the class monitor is settled. It’s very simple this time, and it saves everyone a lot of time! As for the specific duties of the class monitor, Student Su can go to the teaching office of the Divine Literature Academy after class and ask the head teacher of the intermediate class.”

“Next, I will talk about everyone’s course arrangements, as well as some academy rules and regulations…”

“…”

Liu Hong ignored Su Yu and earnestly introduced the situation to the students.

Everyone felt that Teacher Liu Hong was very amiable, smiled a lot, and seemed easy to talk to!

Only Su Yu was constantly uneasy.

The head teacher gave him the position of class monitor as soon as he arrived. Did he not know that he had become Bai Feng’s disciple?

Impossible, right?

…………

The two-hour class quickly ended.

Some students were reluctant to leave, as if they wanted Liu Hong to talk more.

Several students gathered around Su Yu. Some students smiled and said, “Class monitor, please take care of us in the future. Congratulations, class monitor!”

“Top-tier, awesome!”

“Class monitor, let’s get to know each other. My name is Liu Wu. Please guide me in the future!”

“…”

Some students came up to build relationships. Top-tier students were very powerful, and he was also the class monitor. It wouldn’t hurt to get closer.

Su Yu reluctantly dealt with them for a while, still feeling uneasy.

After leaving the classroom, Su Yu headed towards the teaching office. He was completely confused and had no idea what a class monitor needed to do.

Behind him, someone suddenly said softly, “Su Yu, congratulations!”

Su Yu turned his head and saw Liu Yue. He nodded slightly and forced a smile, “There’s nothing to congratulate. I’m going to the teaching office first. Talk later.”

“Okay, go ahead!”

Liu Yue smiled, turned and left, without saying anything else.

Su Yu took a deep breath and walked towards the teaching office.

…………

The head teacher’s office for the intermediate class.

This was where the teacher in charge of Su Yu during his time in the intermediate class was located.

Not a researcher, but an old student at the peak of Nurturing.

The old man was not young, probably not younger than Liu Wenyan. There was a nameplate on the table with the old man’s name – Wang Ming.

After Su Yu knocked on the door and entered, he explained the situation.

Wang Ming looked at Su Yu’s student information, raised his head to look at Su Yu, and said softly, “Student of Teaching Assistant Bai Feng?”

“Yes.”

“Teaching Assistant Liu Hong asked you to be the class monitor?”

“Yes.”

“Top-tier, hasn’t entered Nurturing…”

“Yes!”

Su Yu answered one by one. The old man frowned slightly, and after a long while, he said, “The class monitor of the intermediate class gets a reward of 3 merit points per month, do you know?”

“Teacher Liu said so.”

“You get what you pay for, it’s the academy’s rule!”

The old man said vaguely, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world. You have to give to get, if you don’t give… how can they give you merit points for nothing!”

Su Yu was shocked.

“Teacher… what are the duties of the class monitor?”

“Not much…”

The old man looked at Su Yu and said softly, “First, come to the teaching area early every day to be responsible for counting the number of students. Those who are absent or have asked for leave need to be reported to me!”
“Second, you need to return to the dormitory later every day and arrange for the students to clean. You can only leave after they’ve finished cleaning.”

“Third, you need to communicate with the instructors and students about some course arrangements, acting as a bridge between them. For example, if an instructor is absent today, you need to notify the students and communicate with other instructors to arrange a replacement class!”

“Fourth, you’re responsible for resolving disputes between students. Sometimes, young students get easily heated and conflicts arise. As the class monitor, you need to resolve these small issues so that teaching can proceed normally.”

“Fifth…”

Strictly speaking, being a class monitor doesn’t involve many tasks or great responsibilities.

But it’s very trivial!

At this moment, Su Yu suddenly understood something!

He knew why Liu Hong wanted him to be the class monitor.

Su Yu’s face turned a little pale, and he said softly, “Teacher, does this mean I need to attend every class?”

“Yes!”

Seeing that he understood, the old man said softly, “As the class monitor, you need to attend all the intermediate classes! Arrive early and leave late. Of course, for many people, this is an opportunity. Three merit points aren’t easy to get, especially in such a safe and convenient way…”

Su Yu’s face became even paler!

He had to go to the research institute, he had to minor in the forging department, he simply couldn’t have so much time to attend every class!

Students could choose their courses; they didn’t have to attend every class.

But as the class monitor, he had to attend all of them!

This would seriously delay his cultivation.

He wouldn’t have time to go to the research institute or take minor courses anymore. He could only squeeze in time at night, but at night… didn’t Bai Feng need to rest?

Didn’t Zhao Li need to rest at night?

Would they wait for Su Yu to arrive at night just to teach him?

Su Yu quickly said, “Teacher, if I don’t come…”

“Merit points will be deducted!”

The old man still spoke softly, “In addition, if you don’t fulfill your responsibilities, some comments will be left on your record, such as ‘unable to shoulder responsibilities,’ ‘lacking discipline,’ ‘lacking rules’… The academy will also assess these! It may even affect your employment after graduation. Some organizations won’t recruit irresponsible people, no matter how strong they are!”

“Teacher…” Su Yu quickly said, “Can I not be the class monitor then?”

The old man looked at him deeply and said softly, “During the first class, you were nominated as the class monitor, and you didn’t refuse during the class…”

“I did refuse!”

Su Yu was a little unwilling. He did refuse, but Liu Hong ignored him!

“It’s too late to say that now.”

The old man sighed softly, “This is actually a good thing and an opportunity. For many people, such an opportunity is rare! Three merit points, you know yourself, top-tier geniuses only get three merit points in subsidies per month, and lower-tier ones only get one!”

“Ordinary students don’t have their own professional teachers, so they actually have a lot of free time every day. They’re not busy at all. They wish they were busier, so they could build good relationships with some instructors and maybe get some benefits.”

“So you should know that many people in the class are eager to get this opportunity. Now Assistant Instructor Liu has given you the opportunity… You… at least superficially, you should be grateful to him!”

The old man didn’t say it too explicitly, but his tone was extremely meaningful.

This was a good thing, and since you didn’t refuse it at the time, regretting it now would be unappreciative!

Of course, anyone could see the meaning behind it.

But… who would say more?

Even Bai Feng would have nothing to say. Asking his student to be the class monitor wasn’t going to kill him. Others couldn’t even dream of it, so did you have the right to cause trouble?

Su Yu gritted his teeth!

He was tricked!

He’d fallen into a trap!

Sure enough, none of these people were easy to deal with. Liu Hong easily put shackles on him, and he’d been tricked without even realizing it.

If such a comment was left on his record—unable to shoulder responsibilities, irresponsible…

Such a comment would affect him for the rest of his life.

For example, if he entered the military, the military wouldn’t give him important tasks if they saw such a comment, even if they kept him.

With just a few simple words, Su Yu might have to pay ten or a hundred times the price to settle everything.

“Liu Hong!”

Su Yu cursed silently in his heart!

Liu Hong!

He was much more difficult to deal with than his younger brother, Liu He!

I’ll remember this!

You’re a seventh-level Soaring expert, yet you’re setting a trap for a new student. Are you even human?

You monster!

“It’s okay, stay calm! I won’t stay in the intermediate class for too long. I’ll go to the advanced class soon. Since what’s done is done, I’ll just endure it!”

“In three months at most, I’ll leave the intermediate class!”

“Getting angry now and looking for Liu Hong won’t help. It’ll only make him complacent and satisfied. That bastard, I’ll remember you!”

Su Yu cursed over and over in his heart!

What a monster!

A dignified seventh-level Soaring expert actually making things difficult for a nobody like me. Are you even human?

Unfortunately, this was a silent loss. He had to bear it and couldn’t complain.

Was I supposed to tell others that I’m very busy, don’t have time to be the class monitor, and don’t care about those three merit points…?

Even though it was true, saying that would only invite a chorus of curses!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Su Yu forced a smile. This Instructor Wang Ming shouldn’t be in league with Liu Hong. Of course, he definitely wasn’t from the Polytheistic Faction.

“Teacher, may I ask, does Assistant Instructor Liu Hong have any students?”

Wang Ming looked at him meaningfully, smiled, and said, “Yes, not only does he have students, but he has two! One is a senior student, and the other is a new student. Both are in the advanced class. The senior student even challenged a Top 100 student before. Of course, he failed, but I feel like he’ll succeed soon.”

“And the new student is also a top-tier student. I heard he’s about to break through to the Ten Thousand Stone Realm. He’s also a near-monster level student, very powerful!”

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, “Teacher, what are their names?”

“The senior student is called Yang Sha, and the new student is called Lin Yao!”
Su Yu then said, “Teacher, does the academy have any… you know… that kind of… a mechanism where intermediate class students can challenge advanced class students, and it’s okay if they’re crippled or killed?”

“…”

Wang Ming sat up straight!

Oh ho!

He’s met a tough one!

Before, he sympathized with Su Yu, but now… he felt he should change his attitude.

To be valued by Bai Feng and accepted early as a student, and also Nan Yuan’s only top-tier student in many years, how could he be truly useless?

Heard he’s also Liu Wenyan’s student… Heh, Liu Wenyan!

An old classmate from fifty years ago!

A radiant and leading figure!

Now it seems, he can watch a good show!

Wang Ming became interested and smiled, “Don’t mention it, there really is! The top three students in the intermediate class monthly exam are qualified to challenge advanced class students. If they win, they can enter the advanced class to study even if they haven’t reached the Nourishing Essence Realm!”

“This is also prepared for some genius students, giving them the opportunity to enter the advanced class early!”

“If you win the challenge, you enter the advanced class. If you lose, you continue to stay in the intermediate class.”

Su Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Is it a martial arts challenge, or something else?”

“You can choose martial arts, you can choose alchemy, talisman making… Of course, this is the Divine Literature Academy, so it’s mainly martial arts!”

“Teacher, what is Yang Sha’s physical body realm?”

“Yang Sha is at the Seventh Level of Ten Thousand Pounds, and Lin Yao is at the Ninth Level of Opening Origin.”

Su Yu understood and asked again, “If I challenge Lin Yao, will he agree?”

“This… depends on the student’s willingness! If they’re in the bottom ten of the monthly exam, you challenge them, and they have no right to refuse! As for the others, they have the right to refuse. Lin Yao is a top-tier student, so the chances of him being in the bottom ten are slim.”

Su Yu nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Not accept… how could he not accept!

The two families are at odds, and as Liu Hong’s student, if he doesn’t accept, then he’s not a top-tier student!

“Alright, let’s wait and see!”

Su Yu gritted his teeth. There are still 25 days until the monthly exam. On the 1st of next month, I’ll make sure Lin Yao suffers!

If I don’t show my power, you’ll really think I’m a pushover.

I can’t deal with Liu Hong, I can’t deal with Liu He, I can’t kill Yang Sha, but I can’t take down a Lin Yao!

“Xia Huyou said to be ruthless when you enter the academy… I didn’t care before, but now it seems, if you’re not ruthless, everyone will think you’re an idiot. Chen Qi caused trouble, Liu Hong plotted against me, Liu He caused trouble…”

Su Yu took a deep breath, feeling a little angry.

“Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for fighting back!”

In 26 days, if I don’t beat Lin Yao to death, I’ll admit I’m a coward!

…

Su Yu turned and left.

Wang Ming watched him leave, smiled, and looked forward to it. Interesting, after this new student’s first monthly exam, I’m afraid there will be a good show to watch.

“Su Yu… Lin Yao…”

“Bai Feng… Liu Hong…”

Wang Ming laughed. He’s been a teacher for too many years, it’s too boring. Let’s watch the young people fight.
