Chapter 44 Closed Training
Chapter 44 Closed Training
The next morning, Chu Tong woke up precisely on time thanks to her biological clock.
She skillfully pushed open her older brother's bedroom door, pounced on the bed, rolled around, and woke her sleeping brother up, earning a scolding in return.
"Phew~ That felt so good."
Feeling completely relaxed after successfully being a jerk, Chu Tong pulled Chu Wuji out of bed and dragged their luggage to the station.
Once on the train bound for the inner city, Chu Tong waved to Chu Wuji through the train window before suppressing her smile and returning to her seat.
Although Yuncheng University is located in the inner city, the control between the inner and outer cities is extremely strict, making it very difficult for people from the outer city to enter the inner city, which is almost the same as studying in another city.
Chu Tong, who had always been a commuter student, suddenly felt a little nervous, unsure whether her upcoming university life would be good or bad.
I hope my roommate is a good person.
The air train was extremely fast; it arrived in the inner city in the blink of an eye.
Contrary to expectations of towering skyscrapers, the buildings in the inner city are much shorter. At least compared to the seventy or eighty-story skyscrapers in the outer city, the buildings in the inner city are generally around thirty or forty stories high. They also don't have the various light pollution projections hanging on the walls of the outer city.
Looking into the distance, only a few scattered areas have towering buildings reaching into the clouds. Judging from the direction the train is heading, it's not hard to guess that Yuncheng University is one of those areas that stand out from the crowd.
As Chu Tong got closer, he realized that Yuncheng University was actually surrounded by a white wall, somewhat like a castle built on a plantation in the West.
It is worth mentioning that through the gap in the city wall that serves as the gate, you can see a yellow stone at the entrance that is almost as tall as the city wall, with the words "Trees and People" written in large red characters on it.
I wonder how much the principal spent to buy this stone.
Following the instructions on the terminal, Chu Tong swiped through the admission notices and transferred to another campus train before finally arriving at her destination—a venue surrounded by barbed wire.
The venue's shape is somewhat like a giant lotus leaf bowl; if it were a stadium, it would hold at least hundreds of thousands of people.
As Chu Tong stepped onto the red carpet and entered the venue, her digital student ID was instantly sent to her terminal.
Inside the venue is a huge metal room, with a large glass canopy that allows the sunlight to stream in without any obstruction.
Perhaps because she had spent some time playing around with Chu Wuji earlier that morning, there were already quite a few people inside when Chu Tong arrived, roughly divided into two groups.
Just as Chu Tong was at a loss, a familiar voice sounded from behind: "Xiao Tong, over here!"
Turning my head, I saw a woman with loose hair, wearing cargo pants and a denim jacket, waving and running towards me.
"Shanshan".
The visitor was none other than Chu Tong's best friend, Wu Shan.
"Why are you still carrying luggage? Give it to me!" Wu Shan snatched the luggage from Chu Tong's hands, summoned a floating platform from somewhere, and threw it up. The platform, carrying the luggage, disappeared around the corner.
"We'll be living and eating at this venue for the next week. It will deliver your luggage to your room according to the address on your student ID, so don't worry about it." Wu Shan casually took Chu Tong's hand. "Based on our entrance exam scores, you should be in the same class as me, and you'll probably be staying next door to each other."
"That's good, there are so many people." The moment Chu Tong saw Wu Shan, most of her nervousness disappeared. "But you said we're in the same class, aren't you in the martial arts department?"
"It's a temporary class, it ends after the entrance exam." Wu Shan picked up Chu Tong's terminal and opened the electronic student ID: "Look, we really are in the same class. Come on, let me introduce you to everyone."
As she spoke, Wu Shan had already dragged Chu Tong through the crowd and into a small circle at the very front.
There weren't many people in the group; including Chu Tong and Wu Shan, there were only seven of them. But this small group stood at the very front of the venue, subtly distancing themselves from the people around them, attracting curious and envious glances from other students from time to time.
Simply put, this group of people has an incredibly powerful aura.
It should be noted that those who can get into Yuncheng University are all top students in their respective schools, and they are among the top few thousand out of hundreds of thousands of graduating students in Yuncheng or other cities. There are as many as 1,500 such "top students" in this venue.
But ultimately, they cannot compare to the seven students who were admitted through special admissions or guaranteed admission.
"Come, come, let's get to know each other. This is my precious Chu Tong, the top student in the special abilities department who was admitted through special admission, a genius girl who has already constructed three formulas even before enrolling!"
Chu Tong was already used to Wu Shan's praise, and besides, what she said was true, so she just nodded calmly to everyone.
Not sure what's going on, let's play the aloof card first.
"You're the top student admitted through special abilities?"
Chu Tong looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with long hair similar to her older brother, wearing loose training clothes, looking up at her.
"Are you answering someone's introduction with a question?" Chu Tong remained expressionless, her demeanor inexplicably resembling that of Chu Wuji.
"Yu Yanfeng." The man crossed his arms. "I'm quite curious, just how strong is this so-called number one?"
Who is it?
Chu Tong was taken aback when she saw the message from Wu Shan on her terminal.
He was the third student admitted through the special ability program.
Third? Then who's second?
Understanding Chu Tong's gaze, Wu Shan gestured towards the man standing next to Yu Yanfeng.
The other party stepped forward at the opportune moment, smiling with narrowed eyes: "Sorry, my brother was a bit impulsive."
"I'm Yu Jinchuan, the second-best student admitted through the special ability system."
"However, I am also curious about how big the gap is between me and Miss Chu. I hope we can have a friendly competition if we have time in the future."
"Hmm." Chu Tong nodded indifferently.
"Ignore them, they're a whole family of lunatics."
Is it really that highly rated?
The remaining three were much more normal; apart from one with glasses who was a superpowered individual, the rest were all martial arts practitioners.
The person with the superpowers is named Fan Yu. He seems to have never seen a beauty like Chu Tong before, and he even actively avoids eye contact when they make eye contact.
He wasn't as strange as the Yu brothers; he immediately announced that his special ability was to forcibly fix anything in his line of sight.
The martial arts group consisted of a man and a woman, who appeared to be from the same sect based on their clothing. The man had a braided tail and the hair on the side of his face suggested he was a tiger-like subhuman named Tiger Mountain. The woman carried a weapon about the same size as herself, which was covered in cloth so her appearance was not visible. She was not a pure human either, and the fish tail at her waist suggested she was likely a dolphin-like subhuman who called herself Bobo.
Wu Shan was clearly more familiar with Bo Bo, who was also in the martial arts department, and quickly started chatting with Chu Tong.
Before long, all the new students arrived. Suddenly, the glass canopy above was powered on and went dark, blocking out the light. A beam of light shone in front of everyone.
The photo shows a man with slicked-back hair and a full beard wearing a tight-fitting suit.
