Chapter 113 Only Open to Elites
The number one training ground was already surrounded by countless elite students.
Among these people, some, like Elder Luo, were just there to join the fun, curious to see what was so special about the top N-grade student from the preliminary selection, while others planned to gang up and intimidate Xiang Beifei, motivated by the public outrage sparked by Yu Lei's article—they wanted to show Xiang Beifei a lesson.
Now was the summer vacation period, and most elite students either went home, traveled, or participated in summer internships, so there were naturally fewer students on campus than usual, but today, quite a number had made special trips back to the school.

The number one training ground was a place similar to a gymnasium; it was well known to the students of the Martial Arts College, as they often conducted various simulation trainings here. It featured a variety of sophisticated setups, a high-tech venue perfect for simulating any specific scenario needed for their missions.
For instance, if one wanted to kill a desolate beast, it would simulate a battlefield against a desolate beast; if one wanted to practice sniping, it could simulate various extreme conditions; if one wanted to solve crimes, it could recreate various murder scenes.
The teaching facilities at the elite university were top-notch, and nearly every student could find scenarios that fit their system abilities to practice in the training ground.
"Is Yuchi the old demon only planning to use simulation scenarios to test this N-grade student? That's letting him off too easy, isn't it?"
"Don't be foolish, do you think the simulations set up by Yuchi the old demon are that easy to pass? Too naive!"
Many people were waiting at the number one training ground, talking and speculating, waiting for that spotlighted person to appear.
"Here he comes!"
At that moment, someone shouted.
Whoosh!
Countless gazes swept over!
Xiang Beifei had never realized he would attract such attention.
Despite it being summer vacation and just past eight in the morning, there were still more than two hundred students from Liangzhou University, who had arrived early waiting for him.
As soon as he stepped into the training ground from around the corner, all eyes suddenly fell on him.
Curious, schadenfreude, indignant, predatory, fierce, and malicious...
All sorts of gazes, like so many curved knives, whooshed chaotically over Xiang Beifei.
The scene suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that even the sound of a leaf stirred by the wind, rustling on the ground, could be heard.
Lu Zhiwei briefly scanned her surroundings and whispered, "Why are there so many people? It seems like every student club has sent a representative here; the stir you've caused is rather big."
The elite university had countless student departments, nicely termed as student clubs, but frankly speaking, they were just small gangs. Each student club competed against each other, and sometimes to prove their club's superiority, they often organized group fights.
Group fights were still tacitly approved by the Martial Arts College because when dealing with desolate beasts, it's rarely a solo fight; almost always, it involved mutual cooperation, with several students teaming up to fight a single desolate beast, which was considered the best approach.
Group fights helped cultivate a tacit understanding of cooperation among students. Of course, the rule remained the same: fights could happen, but at school, the number of participants had to be equal on both sides, and there must be a teacher present.
After the matter with Xiang Beifei came out, the various student clubs seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. Today, many clubs had sent at least one representative, and it seemed that taking the first shot at intimidating this new N-grade student had turned into a matter of pride for the school.
As Xiang Beifei approached the training ground, his path was blocked by a group of students.
"N-grade Awakeners are forbidden from passing this way."
The leader was a tall boy with his hair combed into a side part, his eyes fiercely fixed on Xiang Beifei.
[Host: Tao Jin]
[S-grade,Eagle Eye System]
[Realm: Advanced Qi-Controlling]
Tao Jin was a tracking-type System Awakener. His eyes could spot anomalies under various extreme conditions and identify his opponent's weaknesses, belonging to the investigative class of martial artists.
He blocked Xiang Beifei's path, his gaze darkly appraising Xiang Beifei as he used his system to size him up.
[You scanned Xiang Beifei, and no spiritual power fluctuations were found.]
Just someone without any cultivation?
That should be easy then.
Tao Jin sneered internally. What did it matter if this N-grade Awakener had high scores in academic subjects? Without any cultivation, he dared to come to Liangzhou University?
The other students also stood by Tao Jin's side, lining up to block the way forward completely.
Lu Zhiwei stepped forward, stood in front of Xiang Beifei, and challenged, "Tao Jin, what do you mean by this? Dare to block my way?"
Tao Jin glanced at Lu Zhiwei, slightly wary, then chuckled lightly, "Lu Zhiwei, if you want to pass, of course, I won't stop you, but this path is not open to any N-grade individuals."
"Since when was this decided? Who needs your authorization to pass through?" Lu Zhiwei demanded.
"This was the result of our collective decision."
Tao Jin pointed at the people beside him.
"That's right, N-grade trash doesn't deserve to walk this path!"
"If you know what's good for you, get out of Liangzhou University."
Some people beside them chimed in as well.
Lu Zhiwei retorted coldly, "So you mean to say that even if Elder Shang Tianxiong of Liangzhou came here, he wouldn't be allowed to walk this path either?"
Tao Jin's face shifted slightly!
That accusation was something he couldn't bear!
Everyone knew that the governor of Liangzhou, Shang Tianxiong, was an N-grade Awakener, but his achievements were heights that many present might never reach in their lifetimes. Nobody dared to belittle him lightly.
Truthfully, although Shang Tianxiong was an N-grade Awakener, in reality, his achievements were so great that many people even overlooked the fact that his talent was quite ordinary; they never treated him as just a simple N-grade Awakener.
But strictly speaking, if Tao Jin did not want the N-grade Xiang Beifei to pass through, it meant that he was also not permitting N-grade Shang Tianxiong to pass. As a mere late-stage Qi-controlling practitioner, where would he get the audacity to link these two matters together?
"The roads of an elite campus are only open to the elite."
A woman dressed in light clothes stepped forward and timely extricated Tao Jin from his predicament.
She twisted her slim waist, smiling charmingly, and said in a crisp, captivating voice, "Elder Shang Tianxiong is a top-notch elite, of course, he can pass through."
[Host: Yu Xiaoyao]
[S-grade, Charm Allure System]
[Realm: Late-Stage Qi-Controlling]
Yu Xiaoyao paused, then using her eyes coated with pink eyeshadow, she looked at Xiang Beifei, "Does this man really deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as an elder like Shang Tianxiong?"
Lu Zhiwei narrowed her eyes and stared at Yu Xiaoyao, her voice firm, "The assessments haven't even started for him yet, how can you determine he isn't an elite?"
"He's an elite? Hah!"
Tao Jin scoffed, then turned to look at the people around him, asking in a tiresome, oily voice, "Here stand all the elite students of Liangzhou University; please raise your hand if anyone needed to be assessed to enter this institution."
