Assembly Square.

  Instructor Lin announced that today's exercise had come to an end.

  "Each student will be paired with a senior for one-on-one guidance! Additionally, every four students will be assigned a teaching assistant. The specifics will be explained by your senior mentors."

  As soon as Instructor Lin finished speaking, Zhao Lin began looking around, searching for his target.

  Zuo Lingxie glanced at Liu Xueqi and smiled, "I'll be responsible for your guidance during this special training period."

  "Thank you, senior."

  "No trouble at all. After the summer camp, you might consider applying to Imperial Capital University. Professor Hu from the Summoning Department is very kind and is one of the top summoners in the Dragon Kingdom, especially skilled in training avian summoned beasts."

  Zuo Lingxie earnestly introduced, trying to recruit talent for her alma mater. Ever since she learned about Liu Xueqi's S Rank Talent, Zuo Lingxie was confident that this young girl's future achievements wouldn't be any less than her own.

  An S Rank Talent, the dedicated training from a Battle King, combined with Liu Xueqi's own personality. As long as she survives, becoming a Battle King is inevitable.

  "I'll consider it."

  As she said this, Liu Xueqi glanced at Ye Bai. Clearly, she was more inclined to go wherever Ye Bai applied.

  Zuo Lingxie noticed this and didn't continue persuading. Instead, she called out to the three of them, "Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory area first. Your seniors are waiting for you there. Nanjing Third High is in Area C, while Nanjing Second High, from your same city, is in Area A. Movement between areas is restricted, and the summer camp has strict internal controls. Breaking the rules could lead to disqualification or even being sent to the enforcement team!"

  Zuo Lingxie gave them a stern warning before continuing, "But don't worry. With normal classes, daily life, and the seniors watching over you, you won't break any rules. Also, you have a fixed exchange meeting with Second High once a week, and the bottom 10% will be eliminated."

  Under Zuo Lingxie's guidance, the three arrived at the so-called Area C. Ye Bai met his assigned senior—Feng Dong. A man with a thin face and bright eyes. Upon seeing Ye Bai, he was overjoyed and eagerly shook his hand.

  "Ye Bai, I've missed you so much!"

  Ye Bai looked puzzled, "Senior Feng, do we know each other?"

  "No, we don't!"

  Feng Dong shook his head like a rattle drum, sincerely saying, "But I know meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life!"

  Ye Bai: ???

  Master Jiu, wake up, there's a prophet here, take him down!

  Feng Dong's antics left Ye Bai utterly confused, like a monk who couldn't grasp the situation.

  "Feng Dong, don't go overboard!"

  Zuo Lingxie couldn't stand it any longer and scolded coldly, "Is this how you treat a junior?"

  "Sorry, sorry, I'm just too happy."

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Feng Dong raised his hands, repeatedly apologizing. "Ye Bai, I meant no offense."

  Zuo Lingxie briefly explained to Ye Bai why Feng Dong was so happy. Ye Bai tried to understand and piece together the logic, "You're saying Senior Feng's credits are tied to my final ranking in the summer camp?"

  "Yes!"

  "The worse I perform, the lower his credits."

  "Yes!"

  "Then why is he so happy?"

  Ye Bai was even more confused. Feng Dong was from Magic Capital University, one of the top two universities in the Dragon Kingdom. He should be the top of the top. Why is he so happy about low credits? Isn't he ashamed but rather proud?

  Could it be that the top student has evolved into the ultimate slacker?

  Feng Dong cleared his throat, "Junior, you don't know, but I, your senior, am just a freshman and want to stay in university for a few more years. I've already failed four courses this semester, and if I fail the summer camp internship, I can repeat the year!"

  Zhao Lin, Ye Bai: ???

  "Wait, the repeating year you're talking about, could it be for..."

  Ye Bai's expression changed slightly, realizing the reason!

  Zuo Lingxie, standing by, mercilessly exposed, "He just wants to be in the same year as Asura and catch the biggest wave of benefits from the Era of Supremacy."

  Asura's emergence was known to everyone. Although his true identity was unknown, following the growth trajectory of the previous three Supreme Beings, Asura would most likely enter a university, and a top one at that! Only there could he find the top resources to help him grow quickly!

  "Being in the same year as a Supreme Being is a great honor, and of course, it comes with unexpected benefits," Feng Dong said with emotion. "You don't know, from the first day Asura appeared, Magic Capital University and Imperial Capital University have been in chaos!"

  At these top universities, freshmen and sophomores began taking leaves, suspending studies, and some even wanted to drop out and retake the entrance exams! Their goal was clear: to do everything possible to be in the same year as Asura!

  Those who were usually top students suddenly became slackers. Even slacking off became competitive! Assignments were done as perfunctorily as possible, classes were skipped whenever possible, and they were eager to bribe teachers to lower their grades so they could repeat the year and be classmates with Asura. One old professor was so infuriated by this that he ended up in the hospital!

  Boosting GPA? That's impossible in this lifetime! The only way forward was to lower their credits and find a way to repeat the year!

  Feng Dong was one of them. Before coming to the summer camp, he had already failed four courses, and one more would allow him to repeat the year!

  So, when Feng Dong drew Ye Bai, who had a C Rank Talent, it was like he had drawn a ticket to be classmates with Asura, and he was ecstatic!

  Looking around the entire summer camp, who else had a talent worse than C Rank? Oh, there was actually one with an F Rank, but that didn't matter.

  "Feng Dong, I must warn you, don't be too happy too soon," Zuo Lingxie said coldly, clearly displeased with Feng Dong's attitude. "Ye Bai must last until the end of the summer camp's special training for you to earn credits. If Ye Bai is eliminated early, you'll be assigned a new junior, and if you want to fail a course, well, good luck."

  Feng Dong nodded, "That's true." He looked at Ye Bai with intense eyes, "So, junior, for the sake of me becoming Asura's classmate, you must work hard, really hard, and last until the end of the summer camp!"

  Ye Bai: ......

  "Well... I'll try my best."

  "No worries, I will spare no effort to support you for my future!" Feng Dong patted his chest in assurance. If Ye Bai left, where would he find another junior with a C Rank Talent? If he was unlucky and got assigned a junior with an S Rank Talent, Feng Dong's plan would be completely ruined!

  As they were talking, a burly man with a typical Western face approached. He looked at Zhao Lin and said in a deep voice, "Fate, sophomore at Magic Capital University, Heavy Armor Warrior Department."

  "Hello, Senior Fate, I'm Zhao Lin."

  Looking at the skinny Zhao Lin, Fate frowned in dissatisfaction, "You're too thin. I feel like I could knock you over with a stomp."

  "How can there be such a scrawny warrior!"

  With that, Fate took out a half-human-sized steak from his storage space and handed it to Zhao Lin. "Your task today is to eat this."

  "If you can't finish it, you're not allowed to enter the Eternal Tower."

  "Hiss—"

  Zhao Lin gasped, beginning to doubt life. How many jaws would it take to finish such a large steak?

  "Do I have to eat this much every meal?"

  "Meal? Who told you this is a meal? This is a midnight snack."

  Zhao Lin: ......

  Right from the start, Fate taught Zhao Lin a lesson. How is a good warrior made? By learning to eat!

  Fate, who arrived last, was the first to get into the swing of things and had already started training Zhao Lin.

  Zuo Lingxie took Liu Xueqi away, and Feng Dong led Ye Bai aside.

  "Junior, your task this week is tough, so be mentally prepared."

  Feng Dong had already explained the rules of the summer camp. Each week, there would be designated tasks. The better you complete the task, the higher the score you receive. This score would determine the ranking in the final combat test. Those with high scores have the right to choose their opponents, while those with low scores cannot refuse. The final elimination list is based on a combination of combat results and weekly task scores!

  "In other words, to avoid elimination, you must complete this week's task as best as you can," Feng Dong analyzed seriously. "This way, you can raise your total score and gain an advantage in the final combat test!"

  "That's true."

  Ye Bai couldn't help but be curious, "What is the task?"

  Ye Bai was very curious about the task that Feng Dong described as extremely difficult.

  Feng Dong said seriously, "Clear the third, fourth, and fifth floors of the Eternal Tower. At the same time, obtain a piece of raw ore with a minimum grade of D Rank and a weight of at least 10KG!"

  Ye Bai: ......

  Three, four, five, six floors. He cleared them all in one go last night. As for the raw ore, that was indeed a problem. In the Mysterious Mine, the lowest grade was B Rank. Where would Ye Bai find a D Rank raw ore?

  After a moment of silence, Ye Bai said, "I really didn't expect... this week's task to be so difficult."

  "Don't worry, junior," Feng Dong patted Ye Bai's shoulder, comforting him, "I'm here for everything. Just focus on clearing the floors. If you encounter any trouble, just come to me!"

  "Thank you, senior."

  "No problem, we're like family. If I become Asura's classmate, I won't forget your contribution! Come on, I'll treat you to a midnight snack!"

  "......"
