One of Harrison's classes benefited Qin Siyang greatly.
He now had a rough picture of the Sigma Zone he had long been curious about.
It sounded like a place ordinary people and ordinary sequence ability users should not go.
But Qin Siyang wanted to see it for himself even more.
After all, anyone who regularly went one or two hundred kilometers outside the Safe Zone to hunt gods knew that the more dangerous a place was, the richer the resources usually were.
Risk and reward were generally proportional.
After the morning class ended, Qin Siyang and the others once again pinched their noses and headed to the cafeteria under Chu Baxing's insistence.
Chu Baxing had made up his mind to eat one frustrating lunch in the cafeteria every day to motivate himself and remind himself to keep moving forward.
Seeing how determined Chu Baxing was, Hu Chan, who always wanted to compete with him, also agreed with the idea.
Since both Chu Baxing and Hu Chan wanted to eat in the cafeteria, Gu Yunpeng and Zhao Sifang supported it as well, believing they should follow good examples.
And Fu Wanli, who only wanted to stay with his older brothers, naturally bounced along behind them to the cafeteria.
Only Qin Siyang was unwillingly dragged along by the group.
After being cut in line several times and having people squeeze into their seats several times, the six brothers finally finished their hearty meal.
Qin Siyang sighed, "Do you guys really have to come here every day to eat this miserable lunch?"
Their eyes were full of determination as they answered in unison.
"That's right!" ×5
Qin Siyang rubbed his face several times.
"For fuck's sake..."
Fortunately, Harrison's morning class had been meaningful enough to ease the frustration of lunch.
The afternoon class interested him just as much.
The course was called Divine Combat.
As someone experienced in fighting gods, Qin Siyang was not particularly interested in combat techniques against them.
A person's potential was only truly brought out when life and death were on the line.
His experience had been gained through countless narrow escapes. How many similar experiences could school instructors possibly have?
The reason Qin Siyang was excited was because the class was held in the Divine Arena.
Back when he had first arrived at South Glory, he had learned that South Glory University had a Divine Arena that could simulate gods and allow sequence ability users to fight them.
But since he had not been enrolled at the time and had not completed the required training, he had not been allowed inside.
Now he finally had the chance to try this new thing.
When they arrived at the God Hunter Building, which was filled with Divine Arenas, the first-floor lobby was already packed with freshmen, each looking eager to give it a try.
A row of neatly dressed young people stood behind the front desk. They seemed to all be teaching assistants for the course.
Qin Siyang found it strange that there were so many more assistants for Divine Combat than for Combat Techniques.
The instructor for Divine Combat, like the Combat Techniques course, was also a senior student.
And Qin Siyang knew him.
It was Xie Hongbo, the senior who had hosted his match with Rong Xin.
Qin Siyang had not expected that after graduating, Xie Hongbo would go from standing outside the combat arena as a gatekeeper to becoming a teacher for freshmen.
Qin Siyang muttered, "Senior Xie looked like such a straightforward, honest guy. Didn't expect him to move up this fast."
When the class bell rang, Xie Hongbo, standing at the center of the front desk, said, "Welcome, new students, to Divine Combat. I am the person in charge of this course, Xie Hongbo."
"The content of this course is very simple and completely open. You'll enter the Divine Arena and freely choose which gods you want to fight for practice. The first class will teach you how to select gods and conduct simulated battles inside the Divine Arena."
"Once you've learned how to use it, you'll be able to come here during your free time to train yourself as well. Of course, using the Divine Arena outside class requires payment: one bottle of sequence potion per minute."
The moment they heard the price, the crowd exploded.
"What? One bottle of sequence potion only buys one minute?"
"That's way too expensive!"
"Why don't you just rob people?"
Xie Hongbo signaled for everyone to be quiet and listen to his explanation.
"First, the Divine Arena isn't actually an arena. It's a piece of god-hunting equipment that can conduct simulated battles. The energy source that powers it is sequence potions. In other words, using the Divine Arena already consumes sequence potions."
"Second, one minute is usually the duration of a small-scale battle. These are also the kinds of battles we most often encounter outside the Safe Zone. Measuring by the minute and making every second count is actually the best way to improve your combat ability."
"Finally, don't think that one bottle of sequence potion per minute is expensive. Take a look around the God Hunter Building after class and you'll understand. There will be lines outside every Divine Arena."
"Oh, right. The queue isn't based on first come, first served. Students with higher points can always cut in line and move to the front."
Xie Hongbo grinned, "Which means freshmen like you, with only a few thousand or ten thousand points, basically won't have a chance to enter the Divine Arena during free hours even if you have sequence potions. If you really want to come, I'd suggest trying your luck at two or three in the morning. Maybe one or two arenas will be empty."
"Any questions now?"
After Xie Hongbo finished speaking, the previously noisy freshmen all fell silent.
They were shocked not only by the price of the Divine Arena, but also by the fact that they still could not get in despite paying that price.
"Since there are no questions, I'll explain how to use the Divine Arena."
"The Divine Arena contains a suppression system that equally weakens both you and the simulated god. This is only to prevent damage to the Divine Arena during combat and does not affect your training."
Xie Hongbo took out a tablet.
"Every Divine Arena contains one of these tablets. Its official name is the Simulation Control Unit. Through it, you can choose which god you want to fight. Most common gods are included, from small gods to medium gods."
"Of course, some rarer medium gods that have never been killed by sequence ability users are not available. For example, the Lava Crocodile."
"Besides the built-in gods, the Simulation Control Unit also has a Custom God feature. You can define the size, traits, abilities, and other characteristics of the god you want to fight."
"However, using this feature consumes more sequence potions. Whether during class or outside class, you'll need to pay at the rate of three bottles of sequence potion per minute."
When Qin Siyang heard that the simulation did not even include Lava Crocodiles, he was greatly disappointed.
But when he learned about the Custom God feature, his eyes immediately lit up.
'You can customize gods too?'
'Doesn't that mean the possibilities are endless?'
'Then I won't hold back!'
