Ignoring the feigned ignorance from Justin Welan, Freya Louise looked towards Jack Clark, suggesting, “It’s almost noon, shall we go eat together?”

“The canteen in the Martial Sects Area is different from the one in the humanities section. There’s Unique Beast meat every day.”

Upon hearing this, Jack became curious: “Unique Beast meat, what’s the difference in taste compared to ordinary meat?”

“There’s not much difference in taste, it’s just chewier and more nutritious since the meat in the canteen is from ordinary farmed Unique Beasts.”

As she spoke, Freya Louise brushed her hair behind her ears.

At this moment, the office door opened in the distance, and Lori Parma glanced at the three of them: “It’s still a bit early for lunch, Jack, come over and sign some agreements.”

“…Alright, teacher.” Not knowing what to sign, Jack hesitated, greeted Freya and Justin, and followed Lori into the office.

“This is the ‘Law Prohibiting Cultivators from Using violence against Ordinary People’ and this is the ‘Non-Disclosure Agreement for Cultivation Methods’.”

“Also, this is the ‘School Weapon Management Contract’ and the ‘Cultivator Daily Notice Instructions’ and ‘Guidelines for Taking Action in Unjust Situations’…”

As she spoke, Lori Parma took out a stack of documents from the drawer and gave them to Jack.

Some were regulations he needed to sign, while others were things to pay attention to after becoming a cultivator student, including weapon management.

There were so many documents that even Jack was overwhelmed at first glance.

Seeing his headache, Lori Parma smiled: “I didn’t say you had to read it all at once. You can take it home and read it slowly after school today, and give it to me tomorrow.”

“Alright, teacher.” Jack finally relaxed.

Lori Parma nodded: “I’ve looked at your Foundation Establishment data. It’s good. Have you chosen your Cultivation Method?”

“Yes.” Jack nodded.

Lori Parma reminded: “Since you’ve chosen, go to the Logistics Department to collect cultivation resources after lunch and start practicing.”

“You should know that Foundation Establishment is not only about strengthening your constitution, it also changes it to a certain extent, making you more compatible with Extraordinary Energy.”

“All you need to do next is cultivate True Martial Arts, carry Qi Blood, and you’ll be able to absorb the extraordinary energy from the outside world to strengthen yourself.”

“And during the few days after your foundation building is complete, your body will be more sensitive and active to extraordinary energy, making your cultivation more efficient.”

Jack was slightly stunned, not expecting there to be so much to it.

No wonder Justin and the others were gone for a long time after completing their foundation building.

“Thank you for the reminder, teacher.” Jack gratefully said.

Lori Parma said indifferently: “That’s what I’m supposed to do. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can come ask me. I’ll be here for a while every morning.”

Upon leaving the office, Jack saw Justin, Freya, Sherry Lesser, and two other male and female students chatting about something.

Justin said cheerfully, “Jack, you’re out! Let’s go eat and tell you something on the way.”

Jack looked at Sherry and the others, nodded slightly, and said, “Alright.”

…

The canteen in the Cultivation Area was on the 30th floor, the taste was similar to that in the humanities area, but the portions were larger and mostly meat-based.

Besides, it was quite crowded.

There were nearly fifty classes in Senior One, and many students from these classes had made breakthroughs. Some had as many as ten in Class 3 and even less in other classes, with five or six.

At this rate, there were already more than 300 First Grade students who had completed their foundation building.

The group served themselves and found a quieter corner to sit in.

Jack and Justin sat together on one side, while Freya and class leader Sherry Lesser were on the other, with two classmates sitting nearby.

Once seated, Sherry smiled at Jack across the table: “First of all, congratulations to Student Clark for successfully building your foundation within half a month.”

Jack modestly replied, “It’s nothing compared to your achievements.”

Sherry shook her head slightly, “It’s not a compliment. With your ability to build your foundation within half a month, your talent has surpassed most people in the school. This is also related to the matter we wanted to discuss with you.”

“Please, do tell.”

Sherry didn’t beat around the bush: “For us, the foundation building is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go, so we’re planning to form a club.”

“Club.”

“Yes, a club.”

“The club would serve two purposes. One is to exchange ideas on cultivating True Martial Arts, encourage each other, and prepare for future trials.”

“Trials? Do we need to fight?” Jack was slightly stunned.

“Of course.”

Sherry said matter-of-factly, “We don’t just cultivate True Martial Arts for the sake of interest. Without experiencing battle, how can we forge the heart of a strong man?”

“Haven’t you noticed, student Clark, that there are very few Second and Third Grade Martial Cultivation students in the school? Even cultivators in society are relatively scarce.”

“I didn’t pay much attention to that.”

Having been here for half a month and with so many things happening, Jack hadn’t been paying attention to these issues.

Although he had occasionally wondered why he hardly saw any cultivators on the street, he thought they were just hiding their abilities.

“After the second year, all cultivating students have to participate in trials. In previous years, the trial locations were usually the military blockade of the primitive forest.”

“Over the years, the number of Mutated Creatures has increased, so they need to be cleared regularly. These trials are somewhat dangerous, with casualties every year.”

“Faced with this situation, many second-year students decide to team up to increase their chances of completing the tasks. This is also the reason why I want to set up the club.”

“Currently, the club has five members, all classmates, and if we manage to integrate well in the coming year, we will form a team to participate in the trials next year.”

“Of course, if we find any differences in character, ideas, etc. during this year, we can quit the club at any time.”

“So, student Clark, are you interested in joining?”

Faced with Sherry’s invitation, Jack hesitated for a moment

In fact, joining this club had its advantages, such as sharing information and gaining knowledge.

Sherry and Justin, among others, had familial backgrounds that granted them access to many secrets unknown to ordinary people.

With their talents, they would be well ahead of ordinary people and the gap between them would widen further.

Of course, if you had monstrous talent, you could surpass them later.

But, how many people with monstrous talent are there amongst ordinary people in this world?

Moreover, Jack was aware that Sherry’s invitation had to do with him building his foundation within half a month, and his talent was average, not too bad.

It wasn’t that Sherry and the others were being practical, but that dragons do not mix with snakes.

In just a short while, Jack had weighed the pros and cons and then tactfully said, “Could you give me two days to consider it?”

“…Fine.” Sherry hesitated for a moment, realizing that this was Jack’s tactful rejection.

She couldn’t understand why Jack would refuse to join a club that was obviously more beneficial for him.

Not just Sherry, but others were also surprised.

They didn’t know that Jack had too many secrets, and compared to the small benefits of joining the club, he still felt that cultivating alone was better.
