Originally, his grades in literature class weren’t particularly bad, but they weren’t outstanding either—just average. But now, after finishing an entire textbook and doing the corresponding exercises, it all came effortlessly to him; wherever he looked, he could solve the problems right away.

This was truly a god-level learning ability.

It was completely beyond his imagination!

“It seems that what was transformed was far more than just my martial arts aptitude—it must have been a comprehensive transformation. It feels like my brain has been developed!” Brian Carter mused to himself. Now his mind was incredibly clear, and many things he might not have thought of before, he could now easily grasp.

This encounter was far from simple for him; its impact was profound and far-reaching.

“No matter what, this is a good thing for me!”

With this astonishing learning ability, he could save so much time. Besides, a powerful martial artist definitely needs to learn all sorts of things, not just meditation and cultivation.

With this ability, he could go even further!

Unknowingly, as he studied, time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the first class.

The first class was the study of ancient seal script, a compulsory course in all schools nowadays. This is because, in the Kunlun calendar era, there are so many things related to super-ancient civilizations, and to study them in depth, understanding ancient seal script is essential.

Soon, the ancient seal script teacher entered the classroom. He looked to be over sixty, with white hair and beard. Because of the age difference, the students didn’t even call him “teacher,” but directly addressed him as Mr. Harris, making him look just like an old scholar from the Gregorian calendar era.

However, Brian Carter could keenly sense a powerful life force from him—clearly, he was also a martial arts master. After that dream, his perception had become much sharper.

Brian Carter thought to himself, you really can’t judge a book by its cover. In the past two years, he had never realized that Mr. Harris was actually a powerful martial arts master.

After everyone stood up and greeted him, the class began.

Right from the start, Mr. Harris didn’t say much. Instead, he wrote an ancient seal character on the electronic blackboard.

“I haven’t taught you this character before. Why don’t you all guess what it means?” Mr. Harris said. Although he looked old, his voice was full of energy. “As cultivators, learning ancient seal script is a basic skill, because many secret manuals were originally written directly in ancient seal script. If you don’t know it, even if you obtain a secret manual in the Kunlun Realm, you won’t be able to understand it. I’ve said before in class that ancient seal script is pictographic, just like our Chinese characters. So, can you guess the original meaning of this character based on its appearance?”

Mr. Harris glanced at everyone, then pointed to one of them and said, “David Morgan, you answer. You’re the class monitor, and your grades in ancient seal script are quite good!”

He was a boy of about sixteen or seventeen, with handsome features and a tall figure, a hint of arrogance on his face—clearly from a well-off family. His deep blue martial arts uniform was trimmed with gold, looking extremely expensive.

He was the class monitor of Class Eleven, named David Morgan, from a prominent family, with great talent. He had already reached the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm’s Qi Nourishing stage. Coupled with his good looks, many girls in the class secretly had a crush on him—he was a popular figure.

Brian Carter glanced at Adam Cooper, who sat beside him. Both were second-generation rich kids, both talented, and their cultivation levels were similar, but their popularity was worlds apart.

As the saying goes, comparison only brings pain.

One was the class’s popular heartthrob, the other was the class clown and a chubby guy!

Seeing David Morgan acting so smug, Adam Cooper just curled his lip disdainfully and said, “Always showing off, look at him strutting around like a peacock. Who does he think he’s fooling?”

Brian Carter heard Adam Cooper muttering to himself and couldn’t help but find it funny. Both of them were among the top male students in terms of cultivation, and with David Morgan’s arrogant personality, it was only natural that they didn’t get along.

“Mr. Harris, I think this should be an onomatopoeic word, because it’s different from all the ancient seal characters I’ve learned before!” David Morgan answered.

Mr. Harris just smiled, then looked at the others and said, “Does anyone else have a different opinion?”

“Mr. Harris, I don’t think there’s any need to ask. If even I don’t know, how could they? My family even hired a graduate specializing in ancient seal script from the university to tutor me!” David Morgan said arrogantly, not considering his classmates at all.

“Always flaunting his money, as if no one else can afford a tutor!” Adam Cooper said. “With his progress, if he didn’t get extra help at home, would he be able to show off like this?”

After complaining for a while, Adam Cooper added, “But this character is really strange—I haven’t seen it either!”
