No matter what, tasks can wait, attending class is the priority.
Before class, Su Yuan still had something to do.
Collect homework.
Even though Su Yuan's grades were only considered above-average in the class, he was the class representative for the Spiritual Language subject.
In this world where everyone practices cultivation, high school courses were vastly different from Su Yuan's previous life.
Aside from leisure courses that are not part of the high school entrance exams, there were six subjects related to the exams: General Education, Cultivation, Physical Education, Martial Arts, Dao Heart, and Spiritual Language.
The first four subjects each have 150 points, while the latter two have 75 points each, totaling 750 points.
Spiritual Language refers to the script used in the Ancient Cultivation Realm. Although the Immortal Dao is advanced today, there are still many ancient relics yet to be unearthed.
Some top-tier cultivation techniques and Daoist techniques can only be explained with Spiritual Language, making it a required subject for cultivators.
The study of Spiritual Language doesn't rely much on talent; it simply requires rote memorization. Therefore, in this subject, Su Yuan ranked among the top in the class and successfully became the class representative.
He first pulled out his and Chu Lanxi's Spiritual Language homework from his backpack, then started collecting from the front row, beginning with Chen Nuoyi.
Looking at Su Yuan's hand reaching out for homework, Chen Nuoyi raised her bright starry eyes and calmly said:
"Didn't write it, cover for me."
Su Yuan: "..."
Being the class top student sure has its perks, huh.
However, it wasn't the first or second time Chen Nuoyi hadn't turned in her homework, so Su Yuan didn't say anything. Yet, a "ding dong" sound appeared in his mind.
[Under your demonic influence, the naive and ignorant Righteous Saintess foolishly abandoned the opportunity to improve herself. Because of your indulgence, her highly concerned mentors are completely unaware of this, Saint Fall Level +5%]
[Task Progress: Saint Fall Level 5% (Max 20%)]
Damn system! Enough already!
Did I ever lure Chen Nuoyi into anything? Not even a punctuation mark!
It's just that she was too lazy to do it!
Su Yuan's mouth twitched fiercely.
However, come to think of it, could just not turning in homework make the system judge Chen Nuoyi as falling? Seems like this task isn't as hard as I thought.
In light of how low the system's standards are, I won't argue with it for now.
Su Yuan closed the system pop-up in front of him and looked at Chen Nuoyi's desk mate, signaling for her to hand over her homework.
The desk mate, Wu Xingqi, a carefree dark-skinned girl, unceremoniously took one of the two homework books from Su Yuan's hand and pulled out her completely blank Spiritual Language homework, putting her hands together with a face full of apology:
"Section Chief Su, let me copy it."
Su Yuan: … What the heck is this madness?
"I'm quick at copying homework; by the time you've finished collecting everyone else's, I'll be done."
Oh, just copying homework, that's fine then.
Su Yuan showed a standard service smile and moved on to the next desk with the homework books.
Then, after making a round through all 48 students in the class, Su Yuan had only collected about a dozen homework books. Holding the thin stack in his hands, it looked rather pitiful.
"Foster father, I'm entrusting you with my little life!"
A student who hadn't turned in their homework cupped his hands and bowed to Su Yuan.
In the office, Su Yuan placed the homework on the Spiritual Language teacher's desk.
Though Spiritual Language isn't one of the top three main subjects like Martial Arts, Cultivation, and Physical Education, teachers who can teach it usually have significant cultivation and credentials. At least, that's how the Spiritual Language teacher for Class Two was.
Their Spiritual Language teacher not only taught the subject but was also the teacher for the Cultivation class, one of the three main subjects, and was the head teacher for Class Two.
After placing the homework down, Su Yuan addressed the stern, hard-faced, impeccably dressed middle-aged man behind the desk:
"Teacher Yue, here is the class's Spiritual Language homework."
Yue Lin cast a glance at the thin stack of homework books and in a deep voice asked:
"Is this all of it?"
"Yes, it's all collected."
Su Yuan said without changing his expression.
The lives of Class Two of Senior Three, all 48 of them, were entrusted to him, and he needed to hold it together!
Yue Lin was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"Alright, I understand."
Su Yuan felt a slight relief, just as he was preparing to make a swift exit, Yue Lin stood up and said:
"The first class today is the Cultivation class. I have some announcements to make, so let's go together."
"Oh."
Su Yuan nodded discreetly, as they both headed towards the classroom. As they reached the door of Class Two, clear chatting and playful noises reached their ears.
Yet the moment Yue Lin stepped through the door, the classroom fell silent; every student sat primly at their desk, as if the previous noise had never existed.
Su Yuan quietly slipped back to his seat.
"From the office, I could hear your racket. This class of all the Senior Threes is the most rowdy."
Yue Lin, standing at the podium, coolly began.
It's quite overwhelming.
Yet this homeroom teacher wasn't the kind to nag incessantly. After finishing speaking, he got straight to the point, holding up two fingers:
"Two things: First, to prepare for the high school entrance exams, the school plans to set up a new Special Advancement Class, selecting the best students from the eight Senior Three classes based on the upcoming monthly exam results, which are at the end of this month."
"Second, recently, an expert from one of the Ten Top Level Immortal Mansions will visit Taihua High School. It's said that this expert is considering becoming a Special Advancement Class teacher, so buck up and don't embarrass us!"
Upon hearing Yue Lin's solemn words, the expressions of all the students in the class, including Su Yuan, became a bit more serious.
The Special Advancement Class, needless to say, once you enter this class, your chances of making it into one of the Top Ten Immortal Dao Academies increase significantly. At the very least, it makes getting into a good university easier.
Any student with ambition wouldn't miss this chance.
"The Special Advancement Class, isn't it just the class brazenly hogging all of Taihua High School's resources? If I get into the Special Advancement Class, is the task of seizing student resources complete?"
Su Yuan thought with a jolt, contemplating silently.
And besides, even without this task, his initial goal was to get into one of the Top Ten. With any chance available, he must get into the Special Advancement Class.
Nevertheless…
The selection criterion for the Special Advancement Class based on the end-of-month exam scores seems a bit rushed!
Only about 20 days left till the end of the month.
System bro, you better step up and show me your limits!
Just as he was thinking this, the class bell officially rang.
Yue Lin also ended the discussion about the Special Advancement Class, saying:
"This class, the Spirit Gathering Array will be activated, allowing you to cultivate freely. I will point out any deficiencies in your breathing during cultivation. Those who need to rent a Spiritual Root, hurry up, don't delay the class for others."
While speaking, complex array runes appeared on the white walls of the classroom, emitting a soft glow.
The concentration of surrounding Spiritual Energy quickly became rich.
Su Yuan didn't dare to slack off, opened the campus app, and rented a basic Spiritual Root for two hours at the rate of 500 yuan per hour.
In less than a minute after placing the order, an unmanned Flying Sword flew in from the door, placing a neatly packaged box on Su Yuan's desk.
Inside was the artificial basic Spiritual Root.
