The Grand Desolate War Institution was rooted in the Demon Beast Wasteland and advocated actual combat and competition. The Iron Fist Club and the Chaos Edge Hall were the two most powerful student unions of the Grand Desolate War Institution. In order to compete for various resources, they had been mortal enemies for the past hundred years.
Most of the time, the Iron Fist Club was vaguely superior to the Chaos Edge Hall, except for a few years ago when "Fiend Blade Peng Hai" was the Hall Master of the Chaos Edge Hall, who was also the "Sword Cultivator Student Union President", when the Chaos Edge Hall suddenly erupted for two years.
However, following the graduation of Fiend Blade Peng Hai, the Chaos Edge Hall gradually withered.
Especially in recent years, "Ding Ling Dong", a human-shaped tyrannosaurus, had emerged from the Iron Fist Club. She had simply crushed the Chaos Edge Hall into a meat patty.
After waiting for Ding Ling Dong to graduate with great difficulty, the Chaos Edge Hall naturally hoped that they could rise again!
If Li Yao walked the path of a sword cultivator, then the Chaos Edge Hall would very likely rise again and recreate the glory of the era of "Fiend Blade Peng Hai".
However, if Li Yao was a body practitioner, then needless to say, the Chaos Edge Hall could only follow behind the Iron Fist Club for the next few years and eat the leftovers!
Therefore, all the students were extremely nervous. They stared at Li Yao's mouth and held their breath, waiting for his answer.
Li Yao awkwardly scratched his head: "I'm sorry, fellow students. I don't belong to the Iron Fist Club, nor am I a member of the Chaos Edge Hall. I belong to... the Starfire Union."
"Starfire Union... what is that?"
Many of the freshmen blinked their eyes and were unable to react for a while.
"Such a fierce person actually doesn't belong to the Iron Fist Club or the Chaos Edge Hall? Starfire Union, it sounds very domineering. Could it be that the Grand Desolate War Institution has some hidden specialty that specifically recruits such a fierce person? "
"What hidden specialty? Do you think this is a novel? How could there be such a thing! "
Several freshmen pulled out the freshmen handbook from their crystal processors and carefully checked it. After a moment, they all revealed an incomparably astonished expression, as if they had been petrified.
"How is it? Which specialty does the Starfire Union belong to?" a nearby student curiously asked.
"It's... the Refining Department!"
"Ah? The Refining Department, which is known as the worst specialty of the Grand Desolate War Institution? "
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Before they could ask more questions. Li Yao had already carried the Dark Star Rock and the Black Wing Sword out of the station, leaving everyone with an unfathomable back view.
The boy with the crew cut patted the shoulder of a dumbstruck freshman and sighed.
"There's no need to think too much about it. The thoughts of a top student are something that we underachievers will never be able to guess."
…
In the small square outside the station, the atmosphere was very somber. The dozen or so groups of people were like an army, standing in dozens of neat little squares.
A large flag fluttered high in the middle of each small square.
They were all members of the Student Union who had come to welcome the new students.
The hundred or so people at the front were all more than two meters tall on average. Their skin emitted a metallic luster, and their eyes were bright and piercing. They were like countless little suns shining brightly!
Their upper bodies were almost naked, and their rock-like muscles were exposed to the air. At most, they wore a crude beast skin armor, and many of them were stained with blood. They were simply like barbarians who ate raw meat and drank blood!
In the middle of this group of "barbarians", a dozen or so meters long giant demon beast's spine was used as a flagpole. A huge banner was waved, and on it was a drawing of a large steel fist. A crisscrossing canine teeth demon beast's skull was smashed into pieces!
The picture was exaggerated, and the strokes were rough. It was as if a valiant martial artist had casually painted it. But it was full of majestic power, making one's blood boil. The two fists could not wait to burn.
This was the war flag of the Iron Fist Club!
Under the war flag stood a tall and sturdy giant over 2.3 meters tall.
Even in the midst of a large group of muscular men, he could be called a crane in a flock of chickens.
It was as if a mammoth had suddenly appeared in a large group of armored rhinoceroses!
The giant was bald. On the top of his head was a vivid tattoo of an iron fist, exactly the same as the pattern on the war flag. His body was also covered with baring teeth and brandishing claws, but most of them were covered by leather armor. It was faintly discernible, like a tiger hibernating in the jungle. It was not clear, but it was even more terrifying.
"Freshmen of the Combat Department and the Body Refining Department, assemble under the Iron Fist Club's war flag!"
The giant's shout was like a rolling thunder, exploding in the crowd.
"He is the current president of the Iron Fist Club, Hua Tianxiong. He is an expert of the 11th level of the Refinement Stage. It is said that he also cultivates a secret technique. Once he is enraged, he can stimulate the tattoo on the top of his head and forcibly rush to the peak of the 13th level of the Refinement Stage for more than ten seconds. Such a terrifying strength is second only to the previous president, Ding Ling Dong!"
"If we follow such a fierce person, it seems that the school will allocate a lot of resources to us!"
"Let's hurry over!"
The dozen or so freshmen who chose the Combat Department's Body Refining Department were overjoyed. They trotted all the way and joined the ranks of the Iron Fist Club.
At the same time, a voice as cold as a viper's echoed in the freshmen's ears.
"Freshmen who chose the Sword Cultivator Department, assemble under the Chaos Edge Hall's war flag!"
Unlike Hua Tianxiong's earth-shattering roar, this man's voice did not carry the slightest bit of anger. It was like a flash of a saber.
Li Yao's mind expanded as his five senses spread out like a tide. Only then did he find a slightly stooped, pale-faced, and ordinary-looking young man in the hundred-man camp behind the Iron Fist Club.
These hundred-plus people were all wearing light gray robes. On their backs, waists, cuffs, and boots... wherever they could carry weapons, they carried a large number of stick-shaped cloth bags, which faintly emitted a cold aura.
Their temperament was just like these cloth bags. They looked ordinary and did not reveal anything special at all.
Only the occasional sparkle that flashed through his eyes was like a newly sharpened blade, causing others to shudder.
This somewhat stooped young man gave Li Yao an incomparably gloomy and cold feeling. Just by looking at him, Li Yao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His bone marrow was faintly tingling.
"He is the Chaos Edge Hall Master, Xu Ge, a Sword Cultivator at the 11th Level of the Refinement Stage. He will be our boss for the next few years. Everyone, behave neatly and leave a good impression on him!"
The dozen or so freshmen who chose to become Sword Cultivators walked over with their heads held high. They joined the ranks of the Chaos Edge Hall.
After the Iron Fist Club and the Chaos Edge Hall, it was the student union of the Ghost Character and the Lancet.
The members of the Lancet were all medical students. White robes were their standard uniform.
However, unlike ordinary white robes, their white robes were embroidered with lifelike blood skulls. A gust of wind blew through the wasteland. The mouth of the blood skulls opened and closed as if they were mocking death.
The members of the Ghost Character Society, on the other hand, were all dressed in close-fitting robes. The only part of their faces that was exposed to the air was covered in tattoos, making them look like colorful chameleons. Their original appearance could not be seen clearly.
After the Lancet and the Ghost Character picked up the freshmen, there were only a few dozen freshmen left. Most of them were crooked and had a terrible strength.
These freshmen were the freshmen of ordinary specialties other than the four key specialties.
He watched his peers delightedly throw themselves into the four major specializations one by one. These freshmen of ordinary specialties sighed one after another. They did not hide their envy and disappointment.
Li Yao stood in the middle of them. He was like a wolf with bloodstained fangs standing in the middle of a pack of pugs. Needless to say, he was very eye-catching.
At this time —
Li Yao's eyebrows twitched. He suddenly felt that the air in front of him was a little strange.
His heart was moved. He naturally took a step back and slightly bent his knees, pouring his spiritual energy into his legs. Every strand of muscle was in the best state to burst out at any time!
The moment he took a step back, two shadows flashed out from the camp of the Iron Fist Club and the Chaos Edge Hall and condensed in front of Li Yao.
They were the bald giant Hua Tianxiong and the hunchbacked youth Xu Ge. Two young experts of the 11th level of the Refinement Stage!
A trace of astonishment appeared on the faces of the two. They did not expect Li Yao's perception to be so sharp that he could foresee their appearance in advance.
"Good, sure enough, Teacher Ding has taken a fancy to you!"
The bald giant Hua Tianxiong laughed out loud. He looked at Li Yao up and down with a very satisfied expression and nodded. "Student Li Yao, you have not come to the school yet. Your fame has already spread throughout the campus. I heard that you have just awakened. You were able to blow up a 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator with your bare hands. With such skills, it would be a pity if you did not develop in the direction of body refining! How about it? If you have time, come to the Iron Fist Club and take a look. Teacher Ding Ling Dong and I will be waiting for you. If you are interested, it would not be difficult to transfer to another department! "
Before Li Yao could speak, the hunchbacked youth Xu Ge sneered:
"Hua Tianxiong, Student Li Yao's talent in refining is obvious to all. Wouldn't it be a waste for him to join your Iron Fist Club? I am different. I am not here to invite Student Li Yao to join the Chaos Edge Hall. I just hope that Student Li Yao can consider cross-departmental development in the future. By learning refining and sword cultivation courses at the same time, it would not be difficult for him to get a 'double degree' in the future! "
Sweeping a glance at Li Yao, Xu Ge's eyes sparkled like a viper that had discovered a small frog. He revealed his true intentions:
"Of course, if Student Li Yao is willing to focus on the path of sword cultivation, we will also welcome you. I know that Student Li Yao and 'Fiend Blade Peng Hai' are true brothers. Senior Peng Hai has also served as the Hall Master of our Chaos Edge Hall. This is our fate. Maybe one day, Student Li Yao will also have the opportunity to become the next Hall Master of Chaos Edge Hall, leading the Chaos Edge Hall to thoroughly destroy the Iron Fist Club and recreate the glory of the era of 'Fiend Blade Peng Hai'!"
Li Yao smiled:
"I appreciate your good intentions. Maybe one day, I will consider it. But for now, I belong to the Starfire Union."
His eyes were incomparably firm. He was not the slightest bit bewitched by the two.
Hua Tianxiong and Xu Ge looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Hua Tianxiong straightforwardly said:
"Alright, Student Li Yao, we know that it will not be that easy to convince you."
Xu Ge continued:
"However, after you study in the Refining Department for a while, you will find that the resources and academic standards allocated to the ordinary and key departments are completely different. Studying in the Refining Department is absolutely a waste of your talent."
Hua Tianxiong continued:
"At that time, if you change your mind, please come to our Iron Fist Club as soon as possible. With your qualifications, we will accept your application to transfer to another department at any time!"
Xu Ge made a promise in opposition:
"Same for me. The door of our Chaos Edge Hall will always be open to Student Li Yao!"
"Now, please!"
The two student presidents cupped their hands and returned to their respective camps. Like two well-trained armies retreating, the Chaos Edge Hall and the Iron Fist Club quietly withdrew from the square.
Li Yao continued to move forward, looking for the banner of the Starfire Union. (To be continued)
