Chapter 257: This news is totally fake

Arranged by the Special Affairs Group, on the plane returning Zengmu Ansha to Yan Capital, Qin Chuan took out a battleaxe about 1.5 meters long and handed it to Ji Huai.

"Professor Ji, this equipment isn't really suitable for me; I'll give it to you."

Ji Huai glanced at Qin Chuan, reached out and took it, and after checking the equipment info his expression changed slightly: "Red quality?"

Long Ji and Feng Yin, who were on the same plane, simultaneously turned their gazes over.

"I already have another red-quality piece of equipment." Qin Chuan smiled. "Besides, I can't use a battleaxe; even though I could get equipment bonuses, I couldn't unleash its full power."

What he handed to Ji Huai was naturally the red equipment obtained after conquering the Maze Tower—Lanso's battleaxe.

A battleaxe 1.5 meters long can be wielded with ease in the hands of a one-meter-tall Demon Dwarf warrior, and in the hands of Weapon Master Ji Huai it can naturally shine.

Ji Huai hefted the battleaxe with his good hand, thought for a moment, then nodded: "Consider it borrowed from you."

He didn't decline.

These past two days he temporarily couldn't use Spirit Descent; although his strength had broken through to Hall-of-Fame level, tackling an A-rank dungeon with one hand was still somewhat strained.

Having a usable red-quality piece of equipment helps a lot.

Long Ji's face showed envy that he could hardly conceal.

That's a red-quality piece of equipment!

Not even one exists in the entire Special Affairs Group!

"Right, today the Supernatural Combat Practice Major at Yan Da officially started class, right?" Feng Yin suddenly spoke, then turned to Qin Chuan: "Foreign supernatural beings secretly filmed your battle; after a day of spreading yesterday, your real identity has been completely exposed."

"We did our best to hide information known only within the Special Affairs Group, but anything others knew could still be uncovered by those who dig deep."

"So your college life probably can't stay low-key."

"Yeah." Qin Chuan nodded; speaking of this, his face also showed some helplessness.

He had originally planned to keep a low profile in college.

He hadn't expected his strength's progress to be so fast that it wouldn't allow him to stay low-key.

——

In a classroom in a teaching building at Yan Da, dozens of students sat together, forming groups of three or four, while curiously sizing up their classmates.

These are all the members of Combat Practice Class 5.

Because enrollment registration was early, the step of getting to know classmates in the class group was skipped outright; having been on Yan Da campus for a day or two, what they knew best were still their own roommates.

Even which classmates were in the class wasn't very clear to them.

Today was their first day of formal classes; last night they had already received the school notice to gather in the fixed classroom, but they were still somewhat confused about what would come next.

In a corner of the classroom, Du He'an, Zhou Xiaochen, and Yu Zhao sat together, having deliberately taken an extra empty seat—too bad the person who should have sat there hasn't arrived yet.

"Do you think Qin Chuan will come to school today?" Zhou Xiaochen looked around, lowered his voice, and asked.

"I saw on the dream forum that yesterday's video battle took place in Indonesia." Du He'an whispered, "Qin Chuan probably returned a few days later."

The two were talking when the two boys in the front row suddenly started arguing; their voices were a bit loud, and since the topic concerned Luo, who had been the focus of attention these past two days, the whole classroom instantly fell silent.

"You say Luo is at Yan Da? Or a newcomer to the Supernatural Combat Practice Major? How could that be!" One of the boys shook his head without hesitation, "What level is Luo? Is he still a student?"

"Even if he were a professor in the Supernatural Combat Practice Major, that would be overqualified, right?"

"This news is totally fake; I don't believe it."

"It's true!" the other boy's face flushed with anxiety, "I have an upperclassman who volunteered for freshman registration, and Luo completed the registration process with him."

Moreover, I checked Yan Da's campus forum, and indeed many people said they had seen students at Yan Da who looked a lot like Luo.

"Confucius said, 'Among three walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher.' The level of Supernatural Value doesn't represent everything; the practice of supernatural theory and combat skills likewise greatly enhance strength. I looked at the course schedule—these are the key subjects we'll study over four years of university."

"Having both great strength and a humble learning attitude—that's my idol!"

This boy seemed to worship Luo; when he said the last sentence, his expression was quite excited.

And their argument made the other classmates in the room unable to help whispering about it.

Du He'an, Zhou Xiaochen, and Yu Zhao exchanged glances, saying nothing.

Listening to others discuss their roommates in an admiring tone, they also felt a sense of shared pride, telling their classmates that before Qin Chuan joined Combat Practice Class 5, he had at least let them taste this wonderful joy.

"You're chatting pretty lively." A hearty voice came from outside the classroom; soon a young man strode in and stood at the podium.

Seeing this, the classmates instantly quieted down.

"Before coming, I worried that not knowing your classmates would create distance, but it seems my concern was unnecessary." The young man chuckled, "Let me introduce myself—I'm Ren Jie, the class assistant of Combat Practice Class 5."

"You can understand the class assistant as a part-time senior who helps manage the freshman class."

Hearing this, the students relaxed a bit and began calling out "senior".

"Time is tight, no extra talk." Ren Jie waved his hand, "Originally, since this is everyone's first meeting, there should be a mutual self-introduction segment, but the Supernatural Value Test for the Supernatural Combat Practice Major is coming up right away, so we can do that segment later if we have time."

"There's still half an hour until the Supernatural Value Test begins." He glanced at the time, "I'll take roll first, then explain what the Supernatural Value Test is, and after that we'll head out to the testing site."

Saying that, he took out a class roster and began calling names.

When registering, the classmates learned their class and dorm by scanning a QR code and entering their student numbers; there was no master list of the entire class.

Thus, the names and faces of those present were strangers to each other.

Taking roll was likewise a process of getting to know each other.

Roll was quickly finished; Ren Jie put away the list and smiled, "There's still one student who couldn't come due to special circumstances, so we won't wait for him."

Next, let's talk about the Supernatural Value Test.

"Thanks to the efforts of the Yanhuang Engineering Institute, instruments capable of accurately measuring Supernatural Value have been developed; the first-generation product is already in use, and your tests will use it shortly."

"Although you are divided into classes, some later study arrangements, because they have certain strength requirements, are not organized by class but are divided according to Supernatural Value."

"This is the purpose of the Supernatural Value Test."
