Students struggling with slower progress faced numerous issues, particularly regarding the basic moves of their weapons. Some had yet to fully master even the most fundamental forms, despite extensive training.
Even the faster-progressing students, such as Huang Xiu and Tian Rong, found themselves grappling with their own distinct frustrations.
They struggled to meet the standards for forging Chakras, and the intricate structures of Void Arts remained far from fully comprehended. The prospect of imprinting a Void Art still seemed impossibly distant.
In essence, regardless of their pace, students at every level harbored their own unique worries and challenges.
However, Huang Xiu’s particular vexation seemed to surpass that of her peers, if only by a slight margin.
This wasn’t a concern related to cultivation, but rather a matter of daily life.
She had inexplicably been featured on the school forum, landing on a rather preposterous ranking.
This list, titled [Tiandu University’s Alluring Beauties Ranking], was published by a club known as the Review Society.
This society specialized in creating various rankings.
Their ambition was to become the second ‘Jingge’ organization in the nation, aiming to release a list that would gain nationwide recognition.
The [Tiandu University’s Alluring Beauties Ranking] stood out among their many campus lists, boasting the highest recognition and popularity.
The content of this particular ranking was evident from its name alone.
It scored and ranked all the beautiful young women at Tiandu University based on three criteria: appearance, temperament, and figure.
‘They created this list merely to document the fleeting beauty of youth?’
Huang Xiu, having just learned the news and opened the post, gripped her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
‘What a joke!’
No matter how she looked at it, all she could decipher from the jumbled words was ‘old perverts!’
‘Damn it, who secretly photographed me? Don’t let me find you, or I’ll turn you into fertilizer!’
Huang Xiu continued to scroll through the post, her pretty face etched with indignation.
[Cool and Dashing Short-Haired Beauty – Huang Xiu
Score: Appearance 95, Figure 80, Temperament 97, Total Score 92
Review: Her cool and dashing temperament, especially paired with short hair, is exceptionally striking. Although she always dresses in short sleeves and shorts, it only adds a touch of youthful vitality.
Her strength is top-tier, her talent is top-tier, and even her appearance ranks first among new students.
She is not only the strongest new student in a decade but also the most beautiful new student in a decade.
Her figure is a bit too slender.
In summary, Miss Huang Xiu has a promising future; once she fully develops, she will be a strong contender among future campus beauties!]
Below the text were five accompanying photos.
One showed her diligently taking notes in class, her face full of serious concentration.
Another captured her falling to the ground during a combat class with Wen Erya, rising with an unyielding expression.
A third depicted her practicing with a long spear in combat class, her face cool and resolute.
Then, there was an image from dusk, where she sat in a lakeside pavilion, gently brushing her hair, her expression soft and gentle.
Finally, a picture of her eating in the cafeteria, shoveling rice into her mouth, cheeks puffed out like a hamster.
Huang Xiu was genuinely stunned when she saw these photos.
Someone had managed to secretly photograph her so many times without her noticing.
Yet, she had to admit, despite being candid and secretly taken shots, the photographer’s skill was exceptional.
They had perfectly captured four distinct facets of her temperament.
The photos were far better than her own occasional self-portraits when she indulged in a bit of vanity.
Silently saving the photos, Huang Xiu turned to look at Ying Zhiyu, who had informed her of the matter.
Speaking of which, Ying Zhiyu had also made it onto the list, being dubbed the
