Every student in the class listened intently, knowing that this information was crucial to their future at Galaxy University.
Mentor Gao Lin began to explain in his usual calm tone:
"The first way to earn points is through breakthroughs. Upon admission, each of your cultivation levels was recorded. For example, if you entered at the fifth level of the Purification Stage and advance to the sixth level, you'll receive 100 points. This applies to all minor breakthroughs."
"The second way is through courses. As freshmen, you have access to 100 different courses, each worth 100 points. If you score 90 or above on any course, you'll earn 10 points. While this can yield a substantial amount of points, keep in mind that each course only allows one attempt. If you manage to pass all 100 courses, you can earn up to 1,000 points. However, I must caution you against relying solely on this method; completing courses takes considerable time and can slow down your training."
"The third method is breaking university records. Each freshman class has a series of records set over the past century. If you break any of these, you'll earn 100 points per record. This is an excellent way for exceptionally talented students to accumulate points quickly."
"The fourth method involves title rewards from Star Network's Challenge Arena. In the Challenge Arena, you can earn various titles, each granting different point rewards. For instance, achieving a hundred-win streak awards 500 points, but bear in mind that obtaining these titles is no easy feat."
"These four methods are the most common, though there are other, more niche ways to earn points. It's up to you to discover them on your own. That's all for today's lesson. If you have questions, feel free to ask me in the class group chat. Otherwise, try to solve things independently; Galaxy University encourages self-directed learning and competitive growth. Class dismissed!"
After class, many students immediately logged onto the university's website to research additional ways to earn points. Mentor Gao's overview was valuable, but diligent students knew that checking all available resources could give them an edge.
Xena Xiao also opened the school's website to review the details, catching sight of one specific phrase that stood out.
"The Freshman King," Ethan Lin murmured as he looked over her shoulder.
The title "Freshman King" was awarded to the freshman who earned the most points within the first three months. The student with the highest points at the end of this period would win a small spaceship as a reward. However, as a strict rule, Galaxy University did not permit point trading, so students could only rely on their own efforts.
"Xena, you have to win that Freshman King title!" Ethan said excitedly. "If you get it, we'll have our own spaceship!"
Originally, Ethan had planned to use the Blood Vein Scripture to break through to the Blood Transformation Stage right away, but he decided to delay it by three months. Instead, he would focus on refining his combat techniques and mastering the concept of domain.
With their own spaceship, they could explore the cosmos freely, allowing Ethan to conduct his own training in more secluded areas without drawing attention.
"Three months to compete against the best talents on Earth... It won't be easy, but that spaceship is worth it!" Xena clenched her fists with determination.
She and Ethan immediately began discussing strategies for earning points.
"You could start with the courses," Ethan suggested. "There are 100 courses worth a total of 1,000 points. That's a significant boost in points."
Most students would find each course content-intensive, requiring an average of two weeks to complete. Consequently, the courses were a slow way to accumulate points. However, Xena was different. Her mind, strengthened by the teachings of the Tao Te Ching, had an extraordinary capacity for insight and memory; she could fully absorb and understand a course after just one reading.
"One hundred courses won't take you long at all," Ethan added with a grin.
"Agreed!" Xena nodded and immediately began enrolling in courses through the campus portal.
Meanwhile, other freshmen were also making plans based on their unique strengths, filling the Galaxy University campus with an air of fierce competition.
The university had also set up a Crystal Points Monument to motivate freshmen. This massive monument displayed the point rankings of all freshmen, updated in real-time. At the end of three months, the freshman with the most points would be crowned Freshman King.
At the moment, the Crystal Points Monument was blank. However, the first student to earn points would have their name prominently displayed for the entire university to see, a distinction that was an honor in itself.
In front of the monument, a few third-year students stood around, watching.
"Last year's Freshman King racked up 3,865 points," one remarked. "That kid was seriously gifted. I wonder how high the top freshman score will be this year."
"Rather than fixating on the final score," another replied, "I'd rather see how long it takes for one of the new students to earn their first points. I bet it'll be about half a day."
A third student suggested, "It's already been two hours since they were briefed on the points system. Let's check back in another ten hours."
Just as the third-years were about to leave, a second-year student suddenly pointed at the Crystal Points Monument in shock. "Look! There's already a score!"
The third-years turned back to the monument, surprised to see a name high on the leaderboard. At the top, one name stood out, eye-catching and alone:
1st Place, Class Three, Year One: Xena Xiao, 110 points
Since each freshman started with an initial score of 100 points, Xena's new total indicated she'd earned 10 points in a mere two hours.
"She scored 10 points that quickly? That's faster than any of the previous years!" one of the third-years remarked, stunned.
"Impressive, but I'm curious about how she earned those points. Can someone check?" another suggested.
A few students pulled out their phones to access the freshman portal and investigate.
A minute later, they all wore expressions of disbelief.
"She actually earned those 10 points from completing a course!"
