68 New Student - 68

"I guess we will have to skip that part." Zhou Fan said.

With that, he led the group of nine to another part of the main building. It was a room near the top, just below Zhou Fan's room.

It was furnished with desks, a blackboard, and a podium.

"This is where I will teach you all. While everyone else's class starts at 8 am, yours will start at 3 pm. Classes will start tomorrow, so go get some sleep." Zhou Fan said.

With a nod, the group left and the beasts followed behind.

As Zhou Fan was left alone, he went to the cultivation room, where he took the first 10 students previously, and cultivated until 8 am.

At that time, he got up and went to the front of the school building and led the 496 students to their classroom.

There, he taught them some theoretical knowledge about cultivation. He also told them about the first 4 realms. He didn't go any further because it would take them a long time to even reach the nascent soul realm.

In the last hour of class, Zhou Fan taught them how to cultivate.

Those with spirit rank 5 meridians and above were halfway to starting cultivation in that hour. Their speed put Cao Lins to shame.

Even he took longer when he first started to cultivate.

Of course, he was a little different from these people. It took him about 5 hours to start cultivation because he had to really work for it. As for them, they were basically being spoon fed Qi.

Even then, their speed would only last until foundation establishment. At that point, they would slow down immensely.

Zhou Fan even estimated that it would take a spirit rank 3 ten years to break into core formation.

Although class was over for the day, they would still be able to cultivate in their rooms. It was likely that most of them would break into the third level of Qi gathering tonight.

After all, it was an introductory realm.

After the first class, Zhou Fan went to the elite classroom. The beasts and the other four students were already there when he arrived.

Like the previous class, he went over the basics of cultivation and the realms. One difference he made was that he also told them about the soul formation realm. Although they won't get there that much faster than the others, it would still be good to tell them.

In the last hour, he once again taught them how to cultivate. Since the beasts already knew, they went ahead and started as he told the four students.

At the end of the class, everyone had made it 3/4ths of the way to starting. Although the difference wasn't much, it would start to show in the later realms.

Each of the beasts managed to break through to the 3rd level of Qi gathering in that time. It was an achievement that showed just how much greater their talent was.

Zhou Fan sent everyone off soon afterwards.

That night, a new group of talents arrived. Therefore, Zhou Fan shaved an hour off of the first class and repeated the first day and tested their talents.

Since a new group arrived every month, he would do it every time.

In the new group, there was yet another person with a 100 talent. His name was Din Ren, and Zhou Fan was looking forward to his results.

Since he was in the front of the group, he was the first to be tested. As the array activated, a blinding light shot out. The reaction was much more than anyone else's.

"Din Ren. Emperor rank 3 meridians. Affinities: Space, dark, ice." Zhou Fan said with shock on his face. Although he was expectant, he never imagined that someone with such talent would appear.

He was not only a rank above spirit meridians, but two!

And he was rank 3 too! His talent made the other hundreds seem pathetic.

Although the rest were tested, nobody was paying much attention. All eyes were on the new person who had incredible talent.

Some people wanted to see him after the ceremony ended, but Zhou Fan personally took him to the elite class.

"Your talent is incredible, but I wouldn't say you are the most talented here." He said.

"What?" Din Ren said. He had heard about the others results and believed that there was no doubt he was number one.

"Did you see the 5 big beasts at the ceremony? Each of them have higher talent than you." Zhou Fan said. Although he was bringing the boy down, it was to teach him a lesson. If he believed that he was the most talented here, he may slack off and act arrogant.

Zhou Fan decided to nip that in the bud before it even started.

"Come to this class at 3 pm." He said before leaving. He had already delayed the first class once. It would be rude to keep them waiting again.

Zhou Fan taught the class some more stuff that they hadn't learned yesterday, but there wasn't much left to teach. He hadn't done much research on cultivation and didn't have any information besides his personal experiences.

This time, he spent the entire period talking and sent them off at the end.

He then went to the elite class which had its tenth member.

Din Ren was looking quite uncomfortable since half of the class space was occupied by the beasts, but there was nothing Zhou Fan could do about it.

Xiaolong had even tried to be thoughtful by coiling up like a tower to make more space.

Even though there were new students, Zhou Fan still taught things he didn't teach from yesterday. He simply had the new student stay after class and he personally taught him how to cultivate. He also handed him a pamphlet that taught him the other stuff from yesterday.

At the end of the hour, the boy had managed to start cultivation and broke into the first level of Qi gathering. Although he did it faster than when the beasts did it, he was also getting a better supply of Qi.
