"There is actually no improvement?"
"Walking the path of believers doesn't strengthen the body?"
"If there's no increase in physical strength after sequence level six, then strength-type sequences might as well stay stuck at sequence level five forever…"
Quite a few students in the class couldn't help voicing their doubts.
Lister continued explaining, "What I said is that breaking through to sequence level six will not increase physical strength. That does not mean physical strength won't improve after continuing down the path of believers. After opening the path of believers, the speed at which physical strength improves becomes much faster than before."
Qin Siyang was slightly surprised after hearing this.
Even though his own strength and combat skills had already reached the level of a grandmaster, his theoretical knowledge was at most that of a small apprentice.
People like him who clawed their way up from the bottom always had plenty of real combat experience but lacked in theory
Although he had once opened the path of believers, he didn't understand how much sequence level six differed from sequence level five.
He only remembered that no matter how many sequence potions he took at sequence level five, or how much his strength increased, all of it would be completely erased upon reaching sequence level six.
He hadn't expected that breaking through to sequence level six actually wouldn't improve physical strength at all.
Looking at it this way, the chances that the path of believers was a wrong direction became even greater.
That meant his own path to godhood was better or even the best path.
Even though Qin Siyang felt a little more pleased inside, nothing showed on his face.
Because when Lister said this, he had been staring at him the whole time.
He had definitely pieced together some clues from Hong Liang, Jiao Zhijie, and Dadova's information, and wanted to confirm the answer.
Qin Siyang frowned, showing dissatisfaction over sequence level six not increasing physical strength.
Chu Baxing and the others all glanced at Qin Siyang.
Sequence level six gave no increase in physical strength, and there was even suppression from the gods… so why had Qin Siyang become even stronger instead?
Their little heads were filled with huge confusion.
Lister continued, "Although everyone's physical strength growth is mostly the same as sequence levels rise, the most important thing for sequence ability users is their skills. Your own sequence determines your upper limit, so the gap is still huge."
"Your sequences are all listed in the [Godslayer Camp] already. I'm too lazy to look them up, so let's do a small survey. Think of it as getting to know this year's freshmen."
"How many of you are [Phantom Assassins]? Raise your hands."
The moment Lister finished speaking, Fu Wanli proudly raised his hand, then looked excitedly at Qin Siyang and the others.
"Brother Qin, Brother Chu, Brother Hu, Brother Gu, Brother Zhao, raise your hands too! The six freshman prodigies raising their hands together, that's style!"
Qin Siyang and the others scratched their heads for a moment, then somewhat guiltily raised their hands.
Hu Chan muttered with dialogue-blocking turned on, "Why's Fu Wanli acting like he got pumped full of stimulants? His girlfriend just died last night, and today he's already full of energy again?"
Chu Baxing answered indifferently, "Isn't an undercover girlfriend dying something worth being happy about?"
"That makes sense too."
"About one-tenth. That's actually quite a lot," Lister swept his gaze across them, then said, "Those ranked in the top fifty by points, keep your hands raised. Everyone else, put them down."
After a group lowered their hands, cries of surprise spread through the classroom.
"My god, the ratio's this high?"
"Everywhere you look, it's all [Phantom Assassins]!"
"Huh? Is [Phantom Assassin] really that strong? Why does it feel ordinary to me?"
Although there were only around two hundred [Phantom Assassin] sequence users among more than two thousand students, among the top fifty, there were over thirty [Phantom Assassin] sequence users, making up more than sixty percent.
Lister said again, "Those ranked in the top ten by points, keep your hands raised. Everyone else, put them down."
Nine people still had their hands raised.
Aside from Sally, the other nine people in the top ten were all [Phantom Assassins].
However, among those nine, only Fu Wanli had his chin raised and his arm stretched high, looking like he wanted to punch through the ceiling overhead.
The others were either looking around or keeping their heads lowered in silence.
"Alright, put them down," Lister sighed meaningfully, "South Glory's freshmen have better and better talent every year."
Then he continued the lesson, "The first reward of increasing sequence levels, physical strength improvement, ends here. Next, we'll talk about the second reward…"
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Class dismissed."
At the same moment the bell rang, Lister announced the end of class and strode out of the classroom.
After one class, Qin Siyang had learned quite a bit of basic knowledge.
Fu Wanli was still extremely excited, completely immersed in the joy of being a [Phantom Assassin].
"Brothers, what are we doing next?"
Chu Baxing answered, "I'm going to the cafeteria to eat."
"Ah? The cafeteria?", Fu Wanli's face twisted, and his expression instantly turned miserable, "Brother Chu, we're freshmen. Going to the cafeteria is just asking for suffering…"
Chu Baxing's attitude remained cold, "I already said it. I'll go to the cafeteria every day until I no longer need to give up my seat to anyone. You can do your own thing. We don't have to move together."
"Uh, Brother Chu…"
"Wait a second!"
At that moment, Hu Chan spoke up, "Boss Qin, may I trouble you to move ten steps away."
Qin Siyang frowned. Although he didn't understand, seeing Hu Chan's friendly attitude, he still did as asked.
He left the other five people and stood in the corner of the classroom.
At that moment, Hu Chan's points badge slowly changed from gray to blue, giving off a faint glow.
"This…"
Chu Baxing's gaze on Hu Chan's badge was especially sharp, while Hu Chan had a comfortable smile on his face.
Only then did Qin Siyang understand what Hu Chan was trying to do.
Looks like yesterday he exchanged for the round plate armor and gained a huge amount of points, so now he wanted to compete with Chu Baxing.
Hu Chan shot Chu Baxing a provocative glance, then turned back to Fu Wanli.
"From now on, call me Second Brother Hu, and him Third Brother Chu. Got it?"
Fu Wanli looked troubled, "Uh… would Brother Chu agree to that?"
"I don't need his agreement! My points are higher than his. What I say goes!"
"Uh… okay, Second Brother Hu."
Chu Baxing clenched his teeth and stared coldly at Hu Chan, "Don't get smug too early."
Hu Chan tilted his head, "Chu Baxing, I got those round plate armors verified at the safe zone exit. I neither accepted school missions nor Management Bureau missions. Every point was earned fair and square!"
"Don't worry. I won't touch school missions, Management Bureau missions, or military missions. I'll beat you fair and square."
Zhao Sifang laughed awkwardly a few times, "Holy Son Hu, Crown Prince Chu, we're students of South Glory University. We should complete more school missions and help build our South Glory University! There's no need to insist on earning points from the safe zone exit, right? Hahaha…"
After hearing that, both Chu Baxing and Hu Chan shot Zhao Sifang cold looks, instantly cutting off his laughter.
Zhao Sifang scratched his head, "Uh… pretend I didn't say anything."
———
Inside the principal's office, Zhao Longfei scratched the scar on top of his head, his brows tightly locked together.
"Damn it! Just hearing this pisses me off! South Glory's so poor we're practically selling off everything, and besides Sifang, not a single one of them knows how to be considerate!"
He crushed the cigarette in his hand, "Among the freshmen, these brats are the ones who killed the most gods. How can it work if they don't complete school missions? I've gotta think of something!"
