Chapter 349: Check-In
Chapter 349: Check-In
The five of them gathered at the school entrance, bantering and joking for a while, then turned back to the reception area, where they were led by a student guide into the campus.
"It seems a bit more grand than our Shazhou Beast Mastery University," An Paozi remarked casually as he surveyed the school.
Although he was just a spectator, because he had paid, he was also allowed to stay on campus.
Of course, the most important prerequisite... was that he was also a student of Shazhou Beast Mastery University. Otherwise, even if he had paid, he could only stay off-campus.
Lu Tianjiao heard An Paozi's comment and casually agreed, "Don't underestimate Kansai Beast University just because it's in decline now and ranks last among the Eight Greats. Their ancestors were once wealthy, and in the past, their ranking was much higher than ours at Shazhou Beast Mastery University. They were only slightly inferior to Zhonghai Beast Taming University and Kyoto Beast University. But alas, each generation is worse than the last..."
As he spoke casually, and being inside Kansai Beast University with a student guide by their side, Li Qian couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Bro, could you be a little more restrained?
Even if it's true, you don't have to say it to their face. You're asking for a beating.
Li Qian couldn't help but silently criticize in his mind.
He noticed that the student guide remained silent, but his face had turned a bit unpleasant.
Seeing this, Li Qian couldn't help but reach out and nudge Lu Tianjiao's waist.
He wanted him to be a little more careful.
But this guy had no self-awareness at all, or perhaps, he just didn't care.
Li Qian decided to keep quiet and pretend he didn't know him.
Sun Ruirui and Mo Ziyu, both from Zhonghai Beast Taming University, also refrained from commenting.
When criticizing others, one should avoid their weaknesses, and when fighting, one should avoid striking the face. They were well aware of this.
So they both put on an act as if they weren't familiar with Lu Tianjiao.
In reality, they indeed weren't close.
It was purely the latter's persistent attempts to get close.
That flirtatious attitude was clear as day, even to the bystander Li Qian.
Moreover, the object of his affections was Mo Ziyu, the ice queen. It was like lighting a candle for a blind man; she hardly paid him any attention, only politely nodding her head from start to finish.
Her attitude was even colder than when dealing with An Paozi.
An Paozi was smart, and he knew when to hold back.
Perhaps he also understood that with his qualities, pursuing a girl like her was impossible.
"Let me tell you, if Kansai Beast University doesn't make changes and continues with its isolated and arrogant attitude, unwilling to adapt, it will only keep declining. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets kicked out of the Eight Greats one day..." The others clearly showed disinterest, but Lu Tianjiao was enthusiastic, continuing his endless monologue without a hint of realization.
Li Qian quickened his pace, following the guide forward.
Kansai Beast University was vast, occupying an area no smaller than Shazhou Beast Mastery University. Within it stood a campus hotel.
Although called a campus hotel, it was no less luxurious than a high-end hotel.
The entire hotel building was thirty stories tall, making it one of the tallest structures on campus.
From a distance, it was quite eye-catching.
Initially, Li Qian hadn't noticed it, assuming it was just another teaching building or some other academic facility.
After listening to the guide's introduction and learning that this was a campus hotel, Li Qian couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
With these facilities, Li Qian estimated that it would be among the top-ranked within the Eight Greats.
As he listened to the guide's introduction and walked forward, Li Qian could clearly sense the pride and arrogance in the guide's voice.
"What's the point of having excellent hardware if the school's quality is measured by the students' abilities..." Lu Tianjiao, who was following behind, muttered.
Hearing this, Li Qian's eyes twitched.
At this moment, he truly suspected that if the situation were different, the guide before him might actually start a fight with this guy.
This guy's mouth was truly uncontrollable.
Glancing back at Lu Tianjiao, wanting him to hold back, Li Qian quickly stepped into the hotel.
In the lobby, he presented his student ID, completed the check-in process, and then proceeded to the floor where his room was located.
"You guy, hold back a bit. This is, after all, Kansai Beast Academy, their home turf. If you act so arrogantly, who knows what trouble you might stir up..." Inside the elevator, Li Qian earnestly advised.
Whether the other listened or not, that was up to him.
As expected by Li Qian, this guy scoffed, displaying a nonchalant attitude.
Seeing this, Li Qian didn't say more.
Inside the elevator, the young girl Sun Ruirui took out her phone, tapped a few times, and then suggested, "Kansai is one of the most famous ancient cities in Dongxia Federation. There are many historical buildings here, and the scenery under the night lights is captivating. I checked online, and the sights are so beautiful they intoxicate the heart. Brother Qian, let's go out for a stroll tonight?"
"Sure." Facing Sun Ruirui's pitiful expression, Li Qian smiled and nodded.
Not long after, he arrived at his room.
It was a single room, not too big, but it was clean and tidy.
Li Qian lay on the bed, feeling the softness of the mattress, which was quite comfortable.
He put on the VR glasses and made a call to his mother, Han Yuying.
Li Qian hadn't informed his parents about participating in the Freshman Challenge Competition beforehand, so when they heard the news, they were quite happy.
In their eyes, Li Qian's representation of Shazhou Beast Mastery University in the competition was proof that he was highly regarded at school.
After a brief chat and sharing his recent situation, Li Qian ended the call soon after.
Li Qian surveyed his room and then started to get active.
He took out some clothes for changing from his space necklace and hung them in the wardrobe. He placed toiletries by the washbasin, and after doing all this, he put on the VR glasses again and browsed some local news.
Since this year's Freshman Challenge Competition was held at Kansai Beast Academy, there was a lot of related coverage in the local news during this period.
Of course, among these, there were certainly predictions and discussions about the rankings and strength levels of some well-known students.
Seeing these news, Li Qian merely smiled faintly, not paying much attention.
The reports mostly focused on speculations and discussions about students from elite combat academies of renowned universities.
It had nothing to do with him, a newcomer participating in a niche cultivation competition.
