The lecturers of the martial arts course had their hands behind their backs on the rostrum and were observing the freshmen.
The news of them losing badly in the tournament caused the lecturers' faces to turn dark, and they looked like they were about to rain at any moment.
"If I had to say, this tournament isn't fair at all!"
One lecturer said angrily. "It might seem like it's a one-on-one fight, but everyone from the monster controller course brought one or even a few biochemical beasts onto the stage. How much manpower and resources do they need to combine one biochemical beast? Each monster controller has an entire team behind them! Is it really that glorious to win against us?
One of the lecturers' disciples was beaten up by a monster controller course student to the point that he coughed up blood and was sent to the infirmary. It was no wonder why he flew into a rage.
"The real battlefield is not an arena. In the treacherous and unpredictable wild, there are plenty of problems that monster controllers run into. For example, their biochemical beasts lack food or are infected by viruses. Their flesh and machines will reject them. There is also a possibility that superbeasts skilled in mind attacks will invade their brains and cut off the mental connection between the biochemical beasts and monster controllers. In fact, there are some powerful superbeasts that can invade a monster controller's brain and control him instead."
Another lecturer agreed with him. "These problems can't be found in the arena. Even if the monster controller course wins, it doesn't mean that monster controllers are stronger than martial artists!
"It's just too unreasonable to use a tournament to distribute teaching resources. The people outside don't know about it and always treat the monster controller course as the strongest fighting course in Agricultural University. In truth, the Beast Soul Style of the martial arts course isn't bad. Even if it's Dragon City University's martial arts course, we're confident that we can win! "
Many of the lecturers talked about it, especially those whose beloved disciples had been defeated in the arena. They felt indignant.
"Enough."
Black Tortoise, Dean Zong Yue, had a dark expression on his face. "A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. Why are you looking for excuses? It's not like we've never won against the monster controller course in the history of the martial arts course and the martial arts course! "
He was referring to the time ten years ago when Zong Ye, Li Yingzi, and Gu Jianbo formed the iron triangle and swept through the monster controller course.
The lecturers found themselves speechless, but they thought, 'Regardless of whether it's Zong Ye, Li Yingzi, or the fallen Gu Jianbo, they're all monstrous geniuses who only appear once every few decades. It won't be easy for them to regain their glory from more than ten years ago.'
"The dean is right. What's done is done. There's no point in complaining."
Griffin Li Yingzi, who had once won against the monster controller course while she was still a student, said calmly, "Instead of feeling upset about the past, it's better to think about the future. The quality of this year's freshmen is the best over the past ten years. Sun Ya, Duan Lian, Jiang Rui, and Xie Feng are the best of the best. Meng Chao might be a broken-star superhuman and his upper limit isn't high, but his fighting strength is pretty good. Besides, the dean and I have developed a breakthrough in the beast soul fusion technique.
The mentors' eyes lit up. "Has the beast soul fusion technique really matured?"
"Not bad."
"In the past, the Beast Soul Style paid particular attention to absorbing beast souls of the same type. If you first absorbed a liger-type monster, then you had to search for liger-type monsters to fight against so that you could continuously absorb and create spirit energy magnetic fields of the same type.
'If I keep doing this, I might be able to make my vitality magnetic field stronger, but it'll be a little stiff, and it'll be easy for my opponent to see through me.
'But the beast soul fusion technique can absorb strange beast souls, extract their essence, and get rid of the impurities. Regardless of whether it's strength or adaptability, they'll increase by leaps and bounds.
"I want to choose a few good students this year and train them carefully. Don't worry, before long, the martial arts course will definitely return to its former glory!"
The lecturers' expressions changed. They were both happy and worried.
They were naturally happy because the martial arts course had the chance to change its ten-year decline and regain its glory as the strongest fighting course in Agricultural University.
But they were worried because Li Yingzi was being overbearing. What if she took all the good students and they could only choose the bad ones?
It had to be known that the teacher-student relationship in the university was a two-way street. Some lecturers were very popular, but there were also lecturers who could not choose a single student. Only those who had low scores and were "obedient" would be able to join them.
If that happened, they would be pitiful. Regardless of whether it was teaching, research, or hunting in the fog, they would not be able to do anything.
The lecturers' gazes instantly turned sharp.
They swept through the field like a scythe.
It was especially so for the good students who were ranked among the top ten in the course. They wanted to take them in right then and there.
"Mr. Jiang, the freshmen are all here." Zong Yue swept his gaze over the field. With his astonishing calculation and memory, he managed to gather information about each student.
Cold-blooded Jiang Ming nodded and walked to the center of the rostrum. He said loudly, "Students of Agricultural University's martial arts course who are in Grade 55, I represent the martial arts and life science department to welcome you!"
Meng Chao and Xie Feng looked up and listened to the thunderous voice.
"When you first entered the university, many of you are very excited. You're also filled with longing and fantasizing about how you're going to spend your beautiful time in university.
"I believe that you've heard a lot of rumors about the university when you were in high school. You know that it's the holy land of superhumans. You can rise to power, build your career, lead an army, and intimidate the entire Other World.
"Heh, now, I'm going to tell you that all the rumors you've heard about the university are wrong!"
Jiang Ming's voice suddenly became ten times louder. It was like a dragon's roar, and it was filled with a power that could seize people's souls.
The students who had yet to become superhumans and were weak were so terrified that their faces turned pale. Some of them even took a few steps back and shuddered.
Even the freshmen who had just become superhumans had solemn expressions. They gritted their teeth and fought back.
"The universities now are completely different from some of the universities on Earth."
Jiang Ming glared at them and shouted, "The universities of the current era are not places where you can muddle through your days, nor are they places where you can fall in love and be entangled with each other. They are also not places where you are blinded by greed and work hard to earn money.
"The universities of the current era are military camps. They want to train all of you who haven't even grown up yet into fearless warriors who can face death calmly!
"The universities of the current era are steel mills. They want to melt, refine, refine, and refine all of you, then turn you into the weapons and shields of Dragon City. They are the steel pillars of Earth's civilization!
"The universities of the current era are meat grinders. They want to crush your flesh, bones, and limbs. They want to squeeze out the last drop of strength from the depths of your cells so that you can be reborn and come back to life. Then, you will become brand new Earthlings who are one hundred times stronger!
"Today is the most relaxing day you've ever had here. From now on, every day, every hour, every minute, and every second will only become more difficult and painful. It will be so painful that you will slap yourself and regret why you chose to register for Agricultural University's martial arts course in the first place!
"I'll say this upfront. It's not too late for you to regret it. If you aren't a cultivation maniac who is determined, unyielding, and finds pain as pleasure, change courses now! "Agricultural University has a lot of relaxing courses. You can go and plant all sorts of strange plants, modify and treat superbeasts, build 3D farms, and research more than one hundred types of mutated earthworms. I'll personally write letters of recommendation for you, and I guarantee that the dean of the supporting courses will welcome you with a smile!
"Is there anyone who regrets changing courses now? Step forward! It's not embarrassing at all!"
The field was silent. The freshmen who were hundreds of meters tall were like hundreds of javelins that had been stabbed deep into the ground. They did not move even a single inch despite the thunderous roars.
"Very good. Looks like everyone has the resolve to move forward with an indomitable spirit on the path of superhumans. You have the right to become true martial artists!"
Jiang Ming's voice became deeper, but it was even firmer than before. "Just now, all of you saw the results of the fight between our course and the monster controller course. Over the past few years, the martial arts course has been suppressed by the monster controller course. This is the truth, and there's nothing we can't admit to." But if you know your shame, you will become courageous. Based on your performance just now, I can see hope for a counterattack. I believe that the martial arts course will definitely turn the tables in your cohort and shine brilliantly! "
They knew that Jiang Ming might say the same thing to all the freshmen.
The students' breathing became hot.
Youngsters just could not withstand provocation.
Many of their eyes turned red. They would rather die than defeat the monster controller course.
"Enough with the nonsense. Since we're from the martial arts course, let's use our fists to get to know each other!"
Jiang Ming said loudly. "Next, we've arranged a small game for all of you, and the prize is monster coins. Remember, which lecturer you want to choose, what kind of food you want to eat, what kind of dorm you want to stay in, what courses you want to take, what missions you want to take … Everything will be decided by monster coins. So, even if it's a small game, I hope that you will treat it seriously and treat it as a real battle!
"Now, everyone, change into your fighting suits. Men on the left and women on the right!"
There was a preparation room on both sides of the field. All sorts of medical examination equipment and weapons were there.
The freshmen were split into two rows, and they went through a long corridor that looked like a security check. Their physiological parameters were immediately displayed on the screen to ensure that they were healthy and could withstand high-intensity training and physical attacks.
Then, they used the medicinal liquid specially made by Agricultural University to wash their bodies so that their pores would open up and their blood circulation would increase.
Then, they changed into a light and sturdy fighting suit made of biochemical materials.
"This biochemical fighting suit is made of the strongest components of dozens of monster materials, including Wild Silk and Bird-catching Spider Silk. It's also made of top-notch technology and minerals unique to the Other World, so it has the dual defense characteristics of living creatures and metal. It can change a lot, and it can be tough and soft at the same time. Its force execution and defense will increase by several times."
Xie Feng put on the biochemical fighting suit. His muscles tensed up, and the originally loose fighting suit shrank on its own. It stuck to his body and revealed all his lines.
Whoosh!
He casually swung his hand, and the sound of a saber slicing through the air could be heard.
Meng Chao imitated him and put on the biochemical fighting suit. When he exerted a little force, he immediately felt a tight wrapping around him. It was very warm and safe, but it did not stop him from moving.
When he casually threw a punch, he felt that the strength of his punches had increased by leaps and bounds. It was as if he had grown a second layer of muscles.
He clenched his fists and punched his chest twice. Then, he noticed that when he was attacked, the polymer materials in the biochemical fighting suit would automatically gather together to form a hard shell that was similar to a bulletproof vest.
Compared to the military-made gel fighting suit they wore during the national college examination, the biochemical fighting suit from Agricultural University's martial arts course was undoubtedly more outstanding.
