Chapter 9 Disillusionment
In the office of the Dean of Students at the Divine Academy, Bao Zheng was speaking eloquently and fluently.
Yang Zichen and his two companions, who arrived before Fang Xiu and the others, were the very people Bao Zheng was lecturing. At this moment, their eyes were lifeless, devoid of any luster.
When Fang Xiu and his companions walked in, they saw this terrifying scene, which made them pause in their steps, wishing they could turn around and leave immediately.
But it was too late. In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiu and his three companions were sitting in a row with Yang Zichen and his two companions. The number of people being lectured in the office had increased to seven.
"...Ahem, so do you understand now?" After rambling on for a while, Bao Zheng finally stopped.
"We understand! We all understand!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We definitely won't make the same mistake again next time!"
"That's right, we are all dear classmates!"
Finally, Bao Zheng stopped, and the rest of them, who couldn't stand it any longer, quickly nodded. To prove that what he said was true, Yan Xiaoqi even pulled Yang Zichen and Ju Yunfeng over, looking like good buddies.
Actually, Yan Xiaoqi wanted to pull Meng Buping back, but he couldn't.
Yang Zichen's face stiffened when Yan Xiaoqi grabbed him, but when he thought that he would have to listen to Bao Zheng's nagging if he said something wrong, he nodded stiffly.
"This child is teachable." Bao Zheng nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that his teaching had been successful, so he finally relented and told the group to leave.
After leaving the office, the group, whose stomachs were already growling with hunger, immediately went to the canteen of the Divine Academy, Xuanyuan Restaurant, to have a meal.
Among the group, Yan Xiaoqi and the others had normal appetites, but Ju Yunfeng, Fang Xiu, and Chen Xiaohu were all big eaters, and even the bowls they used to eat were a size bigger than the others.
It's understandable that Ju Yunfeng can eat a lot, given his size. But Fang Xiu, don't forget, his true form is a tiger that's over five meters long and nearly six meters long. As for Chen Xiaohu, his true form, Taotie, is no joke.
"Delicious! So delicious!"
In no time, a pile of empty bowls appeared in front of Fang Xiu and the other two, leaving Yang Zichen and the others dumbfounded.
Ju Yunfeng was the first to reach his limit with a score of 8 bowls, while Fang Xiu and Chen Xiaohu continued.
On this day, Chen Xiaohu and Fang Xiu's names first reached the ears of the other members of the school, known for their competitive eating.
The Divine Academy is an all-encompassing academy with students of all races and backgrounds. They are not without their own culinary experiences, but it is truly rare to find someone like Fang Xiu and Chen Xiaohu who can eat to such an extent.
It should be noted that the food provided by Xuanyuan Restaurant contains spiritual energy. Most people can only eat one or two bowls at most. Eight bowls from Juyun Peak is already considered a lot. However, Fang Xiu and his companion ate 88 bowls and 102 bowls, respectively. They broke the record for the biggest eater since the establishment of the Divine Academy, raising it to a level that is likely to remain unbroken.
"Burp~"
Fang Xiu patted his round belly and let out a satisfied burp after eating 88 bowls of spiritual food.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiaohu, who was standing to the side, finally finished his meal. He was temporarily full, but given Xiaohu's digestive ability, he would probably be hungry again soon.
"Little Tiger, are you really human?"
Yan Xiaoqi, who witnessed the whole thing, couldn't help but complain. Fang Xiu was one thing; he had seen Fang Xiu's tiger head before and knew that his true form was an anomaly, and probably quite large. But Chen Xiaohu? With this kind of appetite, could this person even be human?
After dinner, Meng Buping went to the girls' dormitory, while Fang Xiu and the others, after checking their records, discovered that they were all in the same dormitory, so they decided to go together.
All you could hear along the way was Yan Xiaoqi and Yang Zichen bickering.
Once he found his dormitory, Fang Xiu didn't forget to complete his daily tasks first.

As expected of the Divine Academy, the concentration of spiritual energy here is much stronger than that of Wolong Mountain.
Although the concentration of spiritual energy in the human realm and the immortal realm should be roughly the same overall, spiritual energy is not evenly distributed; there are always places with higher concentrations, and the Divine Academy is such a place.
When Fang Xiu returned, the others were already asleep. Fortunately, Fang Xiu walked very quietly, so there was no need to worry about waking them up.
Fang Xiu, who hadn't had a good night's sleep since heading to Shenxiang, was exhausted to the extreme. His eyelids struggled a few times before finally sticking together, and he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the group walked together toward the classroom. They were all in the Celestial Immortal Class 1, so naturally they were in the same classroom. Along the way, Yan Xiaoqi kept talking. He had found out yesterday that the homeroom teacher of Celestial Immortal Class 1 was the famous and renowned beauty of the Three Realms—the Fairy Chang'e!
Fang Xiu, who was mingling in the crowd, said that ideals are lofty, but reality is cruel. Just thinking about the scene that was about to happen made Fang Xiu unable to put on a smile.
Time is a cruel mistress, each blow a critical hit. Chang'e may have truly been a beauty in the past, but now, well, to each their own. Bao Zheng, for example, quite likes the current Chang'e!

Sitting in the back row of the classroom, Fang Xiu witnessed Yan Xiaoqi's disillusioned expression, and he felt as if he could hear his own heart breaking. After all, the shock of a beauty renowned throughout the three realms turning into someone who was only 160cm tall, weighed 160kg, and had a 160cm waist was just too much.
If it had been a good time when they first met, Yan Xiaoqi and the others wouldn't have been so upset. But their expectations had been incredibly high all along, and now the difference was too great, the gap too strong, so it's normal that they couldn't accept it right away.
The first lesson at the Divine Academy teaches some basic things, such as how to absorb spiritual energy. Although some students already know how to do it for various reasons, such as descendants of gods like Yang Zichen, or anomalies like Fang Xiu, their numbers are extremely small compared to the total number of new students at the Divine Academy. Therefore, teaching how to guide spiritual energy into the body is a compulsory course in the first lesson at the Divine Academy.
Those who can come to the Divine Academy are all gifted with "insight." Of course, those with exceptional connections like Yan Xiaoqi are extremely rare, a case that is hard to find even once every few hundred years.
However, talents vary in strength. The stronger the talent, the faster the speed at which spiritual energy is absorbed. But even if it is slow, most students can usually complete the Qi Induction and advance to the Jade Void realm after a month.
Of course, during this month, the teachers won't teach nothing. Instead, they will teach the students some basic spells, mainly simple spells without any attributes. These are small spells that can be used in daily life and are not useful for combat.
The most difficult spell is probably the flight spell. This is an essential spell for every cultivator. It is not particularly difficult to learn and can be mastered quickly.
This time, Xiao Hu, Cui Shao, and the others were not a month late, and they started on the same starting line as everyone else. Their talents were immediately apparent, and their progress was incredibly rapid.
Of course, Fang Xiu himself made the fastest progress. After arriving at the Divine Academy, the high concentration of spiritual energy made Fang Xiu's cultivation go like a fish in water. In just two weeks, Fang Xiu had already broken through to the fifth level of the Jade Void Realm.
Of course, this is related to the fact that Fang Xiu had already broken through to the fourth level of Jade Void when he was at Wolong Mountain, and had been diligently cultivating ever since. But without a doubt, Fang Xiu's realm is the highest among this year's freshmen.
However, Fang Xiu was not proud of this. As a mere Jade Void cultivator, he was not even qualified to participate in the future great war. He knew that at that time, only those from the Pure Void would be used as cannon fodder.
