Chapter 637: Student Council President: Zixue Xin

“Oh, you came early this time. Come up quickly; I have something to say!”

Gong Haili leaned out of the window, waving at Yun Ye and Long Linglong, who were downstairs. The two smiled and nodded at her but did not shout loudly.

They went upstairs and opened the student council office.

As a result, several students with distinct auras occupied different corners, and the atmosphere felt quite tense.

“Liu Sheng, we have new members! They didn’t arrive five days ago, but a few have scores much better than mine. It seems they don’t plan to give a speech!” Gong Haili reported, raising her hand.

“I know. Teacher Nan Xi told me about them. Those six are the top three in three subjects among the new students, right?” Yun Ye nodded.

The new students numbered six; some looked over, some coldly read their books, and others stared out the window, each showcasing a unique personality.

Yun Ye had the highest score over the three heavens, while Chi Xue fell, Long Linglong, and Gong Haili had the highest scores on the first day. There were also some stunning geniuses with even higher scores from the other two days, but for various reasons, they hadn’t come to the student council five days ago.

“All first-year student council members are present, totaling ten people. However, just like before, it will still be your four who give the speeches. Now, let’s get to know each other early. I hope you won’t be knocked down just after school starts; our student council members can change at any time, and no one can refuse a challenge,” Nan Xi walked in from outside and leaned against the wall.

“Ah, is there such a troublesome rule? What if someone keeps challenging? We’d be driven crazy!” Golden-haired Boy complained.

Although he was strong, he didn’t have time for games. If such a system really existed, the resources and costs of the student council might not align.

“Well, the school must have a reason for this rule. It can’t be without restrictions. Perhaps we should let the teacher finish first,” grinned the girl with pink hair. Even though she wore a school uniform that revealed little skin, she carried an extraordinary charm, mainly reflected in her sitting posture and movements.

As a new student, she seemed overly free, insistently sitting on the back of the sofa like a cat.

Neither the students present nor Nan Xi acknowledged it.

This space could be freely utilized. As a member of the student council, as long as she didn’t disturb others, they had no need to intervene.

Yun Ye found it quite pleasing to the eye and thought, why ruin the scenery?

“So, teacher, what are the specific details?” Chi Xue fell asked, arms crossed.

“Ha ha, the details allow you to go all out. If you don’t have absolute certainty of winning, I doubt anyone would be bored enough to challenge you casually.”

“Of course, schools have specific rules of the Dao Artifact in place, so during battles, you won’t die, so just relax,” Nan Xi said lazily.

“Relax? Hasn’t anyone broken through them? What if someone is absurdly strong and obliterates both soul and body?” asked Golden-haired Boy.

“Ha ha ha.”

Nan Xi couldn’t help but laugh, as if she had heard something amusing. She stopped when she saw Golden-haired Boy getting slightly annoyed and waved her hand in apology. “Sorry, it’s the first time I’ve heard someone doubt the rules of the Dao Artifact… Once, a student used Cave Power, and the opponent was just gravely injured, nowhere near death. So you can rest assured.”

“Wow, that’s really heavyweight. Looks like we can unleash our abilities without worry,” several students present remarked.

Not to mention them, Yun Ye estimated he couldn’t breach such rules. He had to open a cave and reach a certain height.

“I’m curious about how many experts the school actually has; some should be good at combat but not at exams,” Chi Xue fell said.

Several in the room were perfect in practical tests, but there were also others who scored full marks yet didn’t make the top ten due to lower scores in other subjects.

In the student council of ten, initially, the rankings were determined by total scores. After that, only those who excelled in practical combat could swap positions.

“Although the possibility is extremely low, how can someone reverse the standings based solely on practical combat after reaching our level of comprehensive scores? Unless their written exam scores were too low, there shouldn’t be anyone stronger than us who is excluded from the student council,” Long Linglong remarked lightly, showing no concern at all.

“Clap, clap, clap.”

Nan Xi clapped her hands and said, “I’m just making a casual comment; the opening ceremony is about to begin. We should go now. I hope everyone can continue to stand here proudly in the future and become the markers for the entire grade!”

The group left the top floor and headed to the grand auditorium, which was already filled with students, with teachers sitting in the front row. Nan Xi led everyone to the second row and they sat down in order.

“Look, it’s the representatives of the new students. You can tell they’re different at first glance, especially that Rookie King; he’s incredibly extraordinary!”

“It’s said he possesses the physique of heaven and earth, having awakened ahead of us, and he looks completely unburdened. It’s a supreme physique!”

“Terrifying!”

“Not just the Rookie King; those deputy representatives also have extraordinary physiques. Gong Haili is said to have an indestructible body and can withstand several attacks from the Ten Seats. Once fully grown, she will have an effect of immortality and can be reborn from a single drop of blood. This is the supreme physique for practicing the Physical Law!”

“After all, these are the monsters among the top ten in the grade. How can they not stand out?”

Many students whispered in admiration.

However, they also had opportunities; what was unavailable outside was all accessible at Zixue Academy. Even if their talents weren’t as good now, they could evolve step by step in the future.

Even He Shiguang didn’t initially master the Physical Law comparable to the Four-Level Unique Spiritual Law; he went through an accumulation process.

Someone like Chi Xue fell, a Super Genius who was but a step behind upon entering school, was still rare even at Zixue.

Not to mention Yun Ye, who defeated He Shiguang and shined extraordinarily.

“Wow!”

“They’re coming!”

Suddenly, the entire auditorium became livelier as a woman dressed in a long gown with purple hair and ice and snow adornments led a group of people onto the stage. She resembled a princess, exuding an extraordinary aura.

This woman attracted awe and attention. Her name echoed throughout Three Palaces City—truly unforgettable and known by all. There was even a saying that anyone who didn’t recognize her as a person from Tengzhou was not a real person from Tengzhou, which was quite exaggerated.

Yet, as the strongest contender to become the next marker at Zixue Academy, having such recognition was only natural.

As the purple-haired girl approached the front of the stage, she beamed, “I am the chief of the Zixue All Professions Elite Association, Zixue Xin, here to offer my blessings to you. Dear students, welcome to school! I believe that during your time here, you will find your own meaning.”

“Zixue Academy has a Thousand-Year History and has nurtured countless talents. It is one of the most important institutions in the Celestial Empire. Every year, we invest vast resources, dedicated to training true all-rounders who can handle any situation and thus meet the expectations of the Celestial Empire and the Divine Empress…”

The woman spoke confidently on stage, becoming the absolute center of attention.

Invincible strength.

Peerless beauty.

Remarkable background.

Elegant demeanor.

Perfect character.

This was a flawless existence with a charm that captivated both men and women in Tengzhou. It was impossible to count how many students dreamed of her and aimed to enroll in Zixue Academy.

What was most astonishing was that Zixue Xin was not originally from the Zixue clan. She broke all prejudices in the Five Schools Competition, defeating all adversaries and even the five clans, completing her bloodline evolution. Her dazzling comeback forced even the Zixue clan to acknowledge her position.

Such a legendary experience was rare in a Thousand-Year History, making Zixue Xin’s name resonate throughout the world.

Soon after, Zixue Xin finished her speech, followed by a few words from other members of the Ten Seats. There were no representatives from the school, nor did any teachers speak.

The student council itself was equivalent to the school’s administration. This system, where students had full autonomy, was established after a thousand years of school development, maximizing the students’ talents.

Next, it was Yun Ye’s turn to speak. Although he felt like he hadn’t said much, the audience erupted in cheers, rivaling the admiration for Zixue Xin.

He stepped down with confusion, and Long Linglong took over to speak.

Students also responded well to Long Linglong, but not as passionately as they had for Yun Ye.

In contrast to Yun Ye, who radiated warmth and had a sun-like charm, Long Linglong seemed somewhat distant. She appeared to smile, but it was merely a polite smile lacking the heartfelt joy emitted by Yun Ye.

In a room full of Super Geniuses, they could still discern the differences.

Just from one speech, Yun Ye won over many candidates’ hearts, and most were aware that he seemed to have a great personality.

Unknowingly, Yun Ye had already been considered a nice guy. As the opening ceremony concluded, students scattered, most rushing to check their dorms, while only a few were unhurried, starting to stroll around the campus with friends.

Yun Ye also lived on campus and eagerly showed Long Linglong around the school dormitory, and they both felt satisfied.

Zixue Academy allowed students to choose between living on campus or going home. Living on campus provided a spacious single room equipped with a fully automated kitchen and spirit energy supply; the environment was quite nice, although there were some shortcomings compared to Longyue Garden.

Longyue Garden had perks that only the Wanling Group could offer—ample spirit energy and beautiful surroundings, along with a dedicated maid who worked tirelessly…

Both the maid and the house could be replicated, but spirit veins were a luxury only the lord of power could enjoy. Naturally, new students couldn’t have such privileges, so almost all students chose to stay on campus.

Yun Ye and Long Linglong wrote their names on the door plates. Their dormitories were only separated by a wall, and the buildings were not gender-segregated. Each dorm room was like a private apartment, and since they were all top talents, there was no need for outside supervision; they could be responsible for themselves.

After picking their rooms, Yun Ye noticed a message from Gong Haili: “Liu Sheng, which elective course did you choose? I chose Alchemy techniques and Talisman techniques. I don’t really like overly complicated classes.”

“Right, I also need to choose my courses.” Yun Ye chuckled softly, almost forgetting.
