Chapter 810: [621] Unveiling a corner of this world’s reality (asking for monthly votes and subscriptions) Chapter 810: [621] Unveiling a corner of this world’s reality (asking for monthly votes and subscriptions) Xing Tian: “As far as I know, the energy body experiment started fifty years ago.”
Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised, “An experimental project from fifty years ago? Then do you have any relevant data?”
Xing Tian’s answer was also straightforward, “Star Ring doesn’t trust any of us, the data from this experiment is solely under Star Ring’s control.”
Pei Jinye pondered for a moment, then controlled his brain waves to reply, “Based on the research template I have now, is there a possibility of replicating this kind of energy body to train our Dark Sea members?”
Xing Tian: “I can try, I’ve also been collecting information about this secretly over the years, perhaps I can attempt it.”
Pei Jinye: “Good, then I’ll leave this to you.”
Xing Tian: “No need for thanks.”
Pei Jinye smiled and continued through brain waves, “One more thing. Do you know about the incident that took place last night in the Western Part of Eastern Continent?”
Xing Tian: “Yes, I am aware of it, the event was orchestrated by the Old Gods Association, an act of organized and premeditated violence.”
Pei Jinye fell silent, changing the subject, “Regarding the information on that scientific research institute, I’ve copied a portion of it, it contains data about some biological experiments and spiritual power experiments. Sort it out; we can use it to train the Dark Sea members.”
Xing Tian: “Good idea.”
Pei Jinye: “Then that’s it for today’s chat.”
Xing Tian: “Take care, the Old Gods Association has been very rampant recently, you must be careful.”
Pei Jinye’s smile was awkward but polite.
“What are you laughing at?” Ji Yuyan looked over suspiciously.
Pei Jinye looked at her: “Did I laugh?”
“Weren’t you amused by the joke Xiyue made just now?”
“Mhmm.”
“Then repeat it.”
“???”
Pei Jinye felt this girl was getting a bit too cheeky.
As he turned his head.
Ji Yuyan stuck out her tongue at him.
After the lunch gathering, two-thirds of the people had left.
After the dispersing.
Ji Wutian took everyone to sing karaoke.
Pei Jinye didn’t refuse.
Luo Yizhou, Xu Wanxiao, and Situ Liyue, along with Zhong Taishu, were also there.
Rhythmic music played.
Pei Jinye was no different from the young college students.
A change from his tough training state in Da Peng City.
…
At around two in the afternoon.
Room 317 in the dorm.
After KTV, everyone had already returned to their respective dorms.
Time passed, unbeknownst how long.
Suddenly Liu Limin shouted, “Fuck!”
Cao Yingjun, who had been persuaded to drink too much earlier, was lying on his bed like a dead dog, gasping for breath, with a straw in his mouth connected to a nearby water bottle.
“What’s wrong?”
His voice was hoarse.
Liu Limin excitedly hammered the bed, “The rankings are out, I made it into the elite class.”
“Fuck!”
Cao Yingjun also exclaimed.
He got up in surprise.
Got up quickly.
“Fuck, where’s my phone? Has anyone seen my phone?”
No one responded.
Liu Limin seemed to be captivated by something on his phone.
Zhong Taishu was doing his laundry, wiped his hands, and checked as well.
Pei Jinye was showering in the bedroom’s attached washroom.
All hell broke loose.
After Pei Jinye came out of the washroom, he saw Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun excitedly talking about something.
Liu Limin looked up and said to Pei Jinye hastily, “Old Pei, the elite class list is out, you’re on it.”
Pei Jinye wiped his wet hair and came over, looked at the phone Liu Limin handed him, and indeed, saw his own name listed.
“Did everyone make it?” he asked.
“Everyone did. Ji Wutian, Ji Yuyan, Murong Xiyue… they all made it,” Liu Limin said happily.
At this time, Cao Yingjun said, “We originally had 198 people. Lin Shenying dropped out, and the Hall of Myriad Images took out three freshmen. That means only 194 people, and the elite class only has 29 people, which means only a 15% acceptance rate. That’s pretty cruel.”
Liu Limin clicked his tongue, “Be grateful. We can only enjoy this elite status for two months, whether we can keep it after two months is another story.”
“That’s ruthless. The elite class has only 29 people but enjoys 80% of the resources. No wonder everyone is desperate to get into the elite class,” Cao Yingjun was awestruck.
He couldn’t even dream of how many resources one could get.
He had already used one Small Yuandan, with very noticeable effects.
The more so, the more he cherished this opportunity to get into the elite class.
“Bro, good luck. Some of the guys in the regular class are beasts, give them two months, and who knows, they might come back to us with a big surprise,” Liu Limin said, then looked at Pei Jinye, “By the way, Old Pei, do you know what our courses are?”
“What are they?”
Pei Jinye asked casually, sitting in front of his desk, starting to look for his phone.
Liu Limin moved his chair to sit beside Pei Jinye, checking off items as he said, “We’ve got Breathing Methods, the construction of the Spiritual World, Boxing, Weapon Studies… there’s even Explosives Training, basically a full Special Forces training regimen.”
Cao Yingjun also expressed surprise, “I heard that it wasn’t like this in the past few years, but after… after Fang Tianping’s batch started, it seems the training got stricter. Do you guys think there’s something we don’t know about?”
Liu Limin strongly agreed, “I reckon there is. Screw it, let’s start seriously cultivating tomorrow.”
Pei Jinye found his phone.
It vibrated with a “buzz.”
Ji Yuyan couldn’t wait and had already initiated contact.
“Congrats, Student Pei, we’re going to be classmates from now on.”
Pei Jinye chuckled and typed a reply, “You’re making it sound so official, I thought I entered the wrong class.”
Ji Yuyan: “Asking for a beating.”
Ji Yuyan quickly sent another message, “Let’s talk serious business, bounty missions will be available starting after a week, want to team up? We can form a small squad.”
Pei Jinye typed back, “Sure, we’ll see when the time comes.”
Ji Yuyan: “Then it’s settled.”
…
The next morning.
Starting at six twenty in the morning, the first Breathing Method Course officially began.
The instructor was a man nearing sixty years old, surnamed Gu, who was not one for smiles or laughter.
Luckily, these students had already endured three days of “torture” from Lin Xiuxian, so they were not too worried about Old Gu’s sternness.
“The Breathing Method we’ll be learning is one continuously revised by Ninth Rank Strongmen over the years by our school authorities. Its goal is not to replace your current Breathing Methods but rather to amplify them, enhancing your existing practice for accelerating effects.”
Old Gu stroked his beard as he said, “All of you have already entered the Extraordinary Third Rank and should theoretically have far greater control over your bodies than those newcomers. But this level of mastery is not enough.”
He suddenly changed the topic.
“However, one cannot cover all bases. In theory, everyone’s spiritual power is limitless, but there are practical limitations, such as environment and talent. Therefore, you must manage your cultivation energy wisely.
The Breathing Method is designed to better accommodate both your body and your Transcendence. In the future, you will also need to learn combat and master advanced combat skills… So to be able to train one aspect to a high level is already commendable.”
After his explanation,
Old Gu demonstrated the [Basic Breathing Method].
Within a quick two hours,
everyone had grasped the routine of the [Basic Breathing Method].
Next up was individual cultivation.
The 29 elite members of the class,
could be said to be the cream of the crop after the placement exam.
Pei Jinye noticed that a girl from Central State named Xu Wanxiao wasn’t present, likely eliminated, but he didn’t dwell on it.
The 29 elite members grasped the knack of the [Basic Breathing Method] quicker than Old Gu had anticipated.
He was quite satisfied with this.
He’d compare with the regular class later, and would then have a better understanding.
After the first Breathing Method course ended,
they took a fifteen-minute break.
During this time, the 29 students engaged in discussion with each other.
By ten o’clock in the morning,
the second course began.
This class was Biology.
A plainly dressed female teacher started enlightening the students on the biological species known to exist in this world.
It was quite a revelation,
as no one had expected that to date, humans had identified over fifty million species.
“Among these, harmful species account for nearly half. These species constantly threaten our human living environment, and it cannot be ruled out that one day human dominance may face a cataclysmic threat…”
“The material has been uploaded for you; your job is to memorize these harmful species, as they will be key points for future exams.”
…
Memorization was the least of Pei Jinye’s worries.
Over fifty million species spread across the Five Continents,
including both harmless and harmful species,
as well as those of significant research value to humans.
The female teacher earnestly said from the podium, “The battle for human ecological defense has never ceased. Also, I’ll tell you something terrifying, the number of species is still likely increasing, and up to now, we have not discovered how they come to be.
This will also be a main surveying task for humanity in the future. In fact, surveys are ongoing, though compared to that, repelling these species to defend the environment may be of the utmost urgency.”
During the question-and-answer session,
that hand-raising student asked again, “Teacher, is there really no way for humans to coexist peacefully with these species?”
The teacher glanced at him then said, “Efforts at domestication are ongoing, but unfortunately, some species still refuse Communication, seeming to exist solely to destroy humans.”
The crowd buzzed with discussion,
“Is beast taming not effective?”
“So far, there have been no successful cases with those extremely peculiar species.”
The expression on everyone’s face grew even more solemn.

But Pei Jinye was watching the booklet intently.
What didn’t work for others didn’t mean it wouldn’t work for him.
Those who knew him were well aware that his favorite thing was making friends.
Big Willow Brother from the Western Continent, Big Thunder, Big Fire,
and Big Head from the Southern Continent…
Each one topped their food chain,
but in the end, they were all “hoodwinked”… no, touched by him.
