Chapter 277: Immortal Fire Phoenix and Thunder Flame Cloud Lion
The next day, Li Qian changed into the standard-issued uniform and headed to the First Training Ground, just like the other students from Xian Ya Yuan, to assemble.
"There are so many people," Li Qian said as he arrived at the First Training Ground and scanned the area. The vast training ground was packed with people.
This was the first time Li Qian had a direct sense of just how many students were in his year.
It seemed that the difficulty in getting into the Eight Great Universities was relative. Looking at the entire Federal Alliance, with so many candidates, the acceptance rate into the Eight Great Universities was indeed a bit low. However, when gathered together, the number was still quite impressive.
Since university courses were chosen freely based on credit requirements and individual circumstances, there was no concept of classes within the university.
Naturally, there were no positions like class teachers, class monitors, or student council secretaries. The entire school was organized by colleges, and aside from the teaching staff, there were only counselors.
College counselors were assigned based on the number of students. For a college of the size of the Cultivation College, which was neither too big nor too small, there were three counselors assigned.
At this moment, the three counselors were standing at the front of the crowd, each responsible for two rows, guiding the students to form proper lines.
Li Qian took a look and chose a middle-aged female counselor who seemed more approachable. He joined the line she was managing.
The other two lines were led by a beautiful young woman and a handsome young man, naturally attracting a group of freshmen, leaving their line relatively less crowded.
Li Qian didn't mind and, after joining the line, started daydreaming about other matters.
Occasional snippets of conversation around him revealed some information about the counselors in his line.
This middle-aged female counselor was named Ms. Wu, but her full name was unknown.
After some time, Li Qian didn't check the time and just stood there with the crowd. As the atmosphere around him quieted down, he felt puzzled and looked up. To his surprise, he noticed that several people were already standing on the podium.
Leading them was a man in his fifties who appeared graceful and scholarly, with a head of hair streaked with black and white, adding a touch of maturity to his appearance.
If this man were younger, he would undoubtedly be a classic handsome man. Even at his current age, calling him a "handsome uncle" would not be an exaggeration.
The handsome uncle pressed his hands down, exuding an incredibly powerful aura, and the entire First Training Ground became three parts quieter due to his action.
He walked to the front of the podium, scanned the crowd of freshmen, and then spoke into the microphone with a booming voice, "Hello, fellow students, geniuses, and pillars of the future!"
T
"
Listening to the handsome uncle's words, Li Qian had been feeling drowsy, but upon hearing his self-introduction, he suddenly remembered something and showed a look of sudden realization.
I
Action: The President Park spoke for about half an hour, mostly about the history and honors of Sandzhou Beast Academy, along with some value-laden speeches and grand visions for the future.
Li Qian, listening to all this, almost fell asleep on the spot.
After President Park finished, several leaders took the stage, wasting another hour with their long-winded speeches. Just when Li Qian thought the unnourishing opening ceremony was about to end, the school suddenly unleashed a powerful move, igniting the desires deep within the hearts of all the students.
Bird-like companion beasts roared in the open air of the First Training Ground, and two companion beasts appeared in the sky.
One was a bird-type companion beast, its body covered in crimson feathers, and as it took flight, it resembled a small sun, radiating scorching heat.
"Immortal Fire Phoenix, a companion beast with peak potential at the Holy Spirit Rank..." Li Qian muttered to himself as he gazed at the Immortal Fire Phoenix soaring in the sky.
This Immortal Fire Phoenix was no ordinary beast, and with just a bit more potential, it could break into the Legendary Rank. Though the probability was minuscule, there was still a chance to surpass its racial potential ceiling and advance to the next rank.
This was similar to the Tyrant Rank and even the Imperial Rank, where the higher the racial potential, the more challenging it was to break free from the shackles and advance.
In reality, at this level, to fully realize all potential without wasting a single bit, was already an extremely rare feat.
In another direction above the First Training Ground, there was another companion beast roaring. It was a lion, majestic and awe-inspiring, its body adorned with purple-red cloud-like patterns.
"Thunder Flame Cloud Lion!"
Similar to the Immortal Fire Phoenix, this companion beast's racial potential was also terrifying, reaching the astonishing Holy Spirit Rank, just a notch below the former.
The First Training Ground echoed with the roars of the Immortal Fire Phoenix and the bellows of the Thunder Flame Cloud Lion, and the students below were left in awe, unsure of what to say.
Most of the students, in fact, didn't even recognize these two companion beasts, but not recognizing them didn't hinder their ability to sense the terror and power emanating from the beasts.
Moreover, not recognizing them was no issue, as someone would soon explain. As Li Qian expected, a broadcast soon sounded in the First Training Ground.
This broadcast elicited a collective gasp from the students.
Holy Spirit Rank companion beasts were, for the vast majority of students, a distant dream.
To be able to contract a companion beast with such potential in one's lifetime would be enough to soar into the ranks of true powerhouses.
Li Qian glanced at the Immortal Fire Phoenix and Thunder Flame Cloud Lion in the sky, instantly understanding the school's intentions.
All this was to motivate the students and boost their enthusiasm for learning and training.
