"Unbelievable! Completing a course in just two hours—memory alone wouldn't be enough for that level of mastery!"
"Yeah, this Xena Xiao from the freshman class must have an extraordinary memory and impressive comprehension skills. But even if she finishes all 100 courses, that only adds up to 1,000 points. She'll need something extra if she's aiming for Freshman King."
"If she has such quick learning ability, her combat skills and understanding are likely on par. She might just have a shot at claiming the title!"
While upperclassmen speculated, Xena's fellow freshmen were equally stunned. As they were still figuring out how to earn points, someone was already 10 points ahead! For some, the gap felt overwhelming, yet the more confident students believed that the real test of endurance would reveal itself only at the end of the three months.
Two hours later, Xena completed another course, effortlessly earning another 10 points to bring her total to 120 points. Like clockwork, she earned 10 points every two hours, a consistency that soon earned her the reputation of a "scholar beauty" around campus. Her name quickly spread through the ranks of Galaxy University, known to upperclassmen and professors alike.
Over the next two weeks, Xena barely took breaks, focusing entirely on her studies. In this time, she completed all 100 courses with near-perfect scores, amassing a total of 1,097 points. Though she had used three points on meals, her lead remained strong. Yet, the second-place student trailed close behind with 973 points.
"Xena, this second place student is quite a formidable competitor!" Ethan Lin remarked.
Xena's closest rival, Gallen Jin, was a descendant of the Golden Sovereign and a genius of the Jin family. Despite only being eighteen, he was already at the third level of the Blood Transformation Stage. His Guardian Spirit was a Divine Guardian Spirit with boundless potential, and he had mastered three Divine Skills, showing remarkable talent and strength. His score of 973 points wasn't from courses but from breaking records, winning titles in Star Network, and making breakthroughs.
"Ethan, I've maxed out my points from courses. I'm ready to make a breakthrough and grab another 100 points," Xena decided.
At the time of her admission to Galaxy University, she had reached the sixth level of the Purification Stage, and now she was on the verge of entering the seventh level.
"Go for it!" Ethan encouraged her, standing guard as she entered the private training room in her dorm. Each dorm room was equipped with a secure training area with an emergency button to summon help if necessary.
After just over two hours of focused effort, Xena broke through to the seventh level of the Purification Stage. Without waiting for her strength to settle, she headed straight to the university's official certification center to verify her advancement.
At the Crystal Points Monument, students were keeping an eye on the rankings. Suddenly, murmurs filled the air as everyone noticed that Xena's score had jumped from 1,097 to 1,193, signifying a recent 100-point gain.
"She earned 100 points in one go—it looks like she advanced in her cultivation level!"
Inside Galaxy University, students could enjoy a variety of facilities, including restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, all without leaving campus. In a popular campus restaurant, two freshmen were deep in conversation over drinks.
One of them, with golden hair and striking golden eyes, was none other than Gallen Jin, currently ranked second in the freshman standings. Across from him sat Sage Feng Zhao, who was fifth in the rankings.
"Gallen, you're here drinking with me at a time like this? Aren't you worried that this Xena Xiao girl might snag the Freshman King title from you?" Feng Zhao teased.
Gallen waved off the concern, unconcerned. "Not at all. Xena Xiao might have an impressive memory, but completing all the courses only gives her 1,000 points. Her Guardian Spirit is merely a mid-level one, and she's only just reached the seventh level of the Purification Stage. Given her background, I doubt she's trained in any Divine Skills, which means it'll be tough for her to earn more points in other categories. If not me, even you could easily surpass her."
"You've got a point," Feng Zhao agreed, smiling. "With your lineage as the top talent of the Jin family, and the Golden Sovereign himself as your mentor, there's no way she can compare."
"Cheers to that," Gallen said, clinking glasses with Feng Zhao. "After this, let's head to the Challenge Arena in Star Network and work on earning that '100 Wins in a Day' title."
"I'll drink with you, but I'm out on the challenge. A hundred intense battles in a single day would leave my mental energy drained. That's your game, not mine," Feng Zhao laughed.
Meanwhile, Ethan and Xena were also preparing to enter Star Network together. This time, Ethan could remain within Xena's Guardian Spirit Space and connect to Star Network without worry of being summoned back, allowing him to participate for as long as he wished.
In Star Network's Challenge Arena, Xena signed up for matches, with Ethan also entering his own set of matches. Star Network automatically assessed participants' real-world strength to ensure fair matchmaking. Ethan, being at the tenth level of the Purification Stage, was registered as a ninth-level fighter, as Star Network didn't recognize a tenth level, giving him a slight advantage.
On the Challenge Arena platform, Ethan waited calmly for his first opponent to appear.
