Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

"Okay." After Ling Yi responded, the teacher in charge of teaching came in, cut off the connection with Tian Yan, and prepared to start the class.

Imperial Academy has two mandatory classes every morning. The first class is a variety class, which is from 6:30 to 7:30 in the morning and lasts for one hour.

This class is called a "diversity class" because the content changes every day. Today it might teach the theory of formations, tomorrow it might teach the identification of medicinal herbs, and the day after it might teach knowledge about pets.

The second class is a body-strengthening class, which lasts from 8:00 to 11:00, a three-hour course.

This course focuses on body refinement and is unrelated to spiritual root attributes; everyone must participate.

After the body-strengthening class, the morning classes are considered over. The afternoon classes start at 1 p.m., with two hours in between for students to rest, wash up, and eat.

Imperial Academy has only one class in the afternoon, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and all four hours are dedicated to cultivation. During cultivation, students with different spiritual root attributes attend class with different teachers.

Students with multiple spiritual roots will have their cultivation arranged by their teachers. For example, students with dual spiritual roots of water and fire will be assigned to cultivate in the fire courtyard today and in the water courtyard tomorrow.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators with multiple spiritual roots do not cultivate as quickly as those with a single spiritual root, but they have more choices, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

After 5 p.m., students have time to eat and rest from 7 p.m. onwards, evening classes begin at 7 p.m.

Evening classes are elective courses. Students with multiple spiritual roots who want to become alchemists, weapon refiners, or array masters can choose the corresponding courses.

Students with a single-attribute spiritual root cannot attend these classes, but they can choose cultivation classes.

There are two classes in the evening, one from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the other from 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

After class ends at 11:30, all students must return to their dormitories within half an hour, that is, before 12:00. You can sleep or not in your dormitory, but once the time comes, you cannot continue to wander around the college.

Today's first lesson was about medicinal herbs. After the teacher finished, she told everyone that she would ask them questions about the lesson content next time she came to class, and those who couldn't remember would be punished.

The students all promised that they would remember it.

After the first class, everyone got up and prepared to go to the Body Training Institute.

"Ling Yi." Just as Ling Yi was about to get up and leave, Dongfang Jibai walked over.

Ling looked at him, her tone indifferent: "What is it?"

Dongfang Jibai had spent time with Ling Yi before and knew that Ling Yi was aloof. This wasn't directed at anyone in particular: "I was a little late this morning and didn't have time to greet you."

Before Ling Yi could speak, Dongfang Jibai said, "It's your first day of class, and you haven't been to the Body Refining Academy yet. Shall we go together?"

Ling Yi had indeed never been there before, but with so many students, she could just follow them: "No need." After saying that, Ling Yi left directly.

Seeing Ling Yi leave directly, Dongfang Jibai was not angry, but also walked out.

Dongfang Ye stood up and followed Dongfang Jibai: "Second brother, why bother with such a warm gesture..."

Dongfang Jibai glanced over indifferently, and Dongfang Ye immediately shut up.

Dongfang Jibai looked at him and said, "Don't hold a grudge against her just because you lost to her in the competition."

Dongfang Ye turned his head away and stopped talking.

As dawn broke, he said no more and headed towards the Body Refining Academy.

Upon arriving at the Body Refining Academy, everyone had to change into their Body Refining Uniforms. Ling Yi had only received his Academy Uniforms yesterday, not the Body Refining Uniforms. Just as he was about to go find his teacher, the teacher arrived first.

"Ling Yi, this is your body-training uniform." A female teacher ran over and handed the uniform to Ling Yi.

Ling Yi accepted it: "Thank you."

The teacher said, "Your clothes are all clean. Go change them. Class will start soon."

"Okay." Ling Yi responded, then went to the women's changing room and changed her clothes.

When Ling Yi changed into his body-training uniform and came out, the female teacher was watching the students warm up. Ling Yi walked to the side and began to warm up.

Just before class started, all the students arrived, and the other teacher for the body-strengthening class also arrived, and the body-strengthening class officially began.

After a three-hour body-strengthening class, everyone was either lying on the ground unable to get up or drenched in sweat.

The teacher looked at them and said, "You seem so weak. Should I give you some pills to help you recover?"

One student, panting, said, "Okay."

The teacher looked at the person who had spoken, but before he could say anything, another student chimed in, "Teacher, why is the intensity getting higher every day? You have to let us adapt!"

The teacher said coldly, "Now you want me to give you time to adapt? If you encounter an opponent, your opponent won't attack you with the strength your bodies can handle."

“You’re all exhausted after training. Look at Ling Yi, it was his first time training, why isn’t he like this?”

Hearing the teacher say that, everyone looked at Ling Yi.

After three hours of body-training class, Ling Yi looked no different from when he arrived, except for some sweat on his face.

The teacher beckoned to Ling Yi: "Come here."

Ling Yi walked over.

The teacher asked, "You're stronger than them, and you're perfectly fine after training. Can you still fight?"

Ling Yi replied, "Yes, but it's not necessary."

"Why?" the teacher asked.

Ling Yi glanced at everyone: "They're all no good. Who does the teacher want me to fight?"

Teacher: "Me."

Ling Yi: "If I win, will I still have to come to class?"

This question stumped the teacher.

Ling Yi said this not because she looked down on the courses arranged by the teacher, but because that was the situation.

Although her current body is not the same as before, her physical strength has been unlocked by 0.5. Coupled with her combat experience, the teacher is no match for her. If she wins and still comes to class, she won't be embarrassed, but the teacher will be embarrassed too.

As for pretending to lose, your opponent can sense whether you're holding back a move in a real fight.

"Teacher, Ling Yi is already very tired after class, so let's stop here," Dongfang Jibai said.

Unlike the others, Dongfang Jibai had witnessed the power of the three-headed python. He believed that Ling Yi could defeat his teacher, but as Ling Yi said, it was possible to fight, but there was no need.

After all, she came here as a student to attend classes, not to intimidate the teachers.

"Okay," the teacher agreed.

Dongfang Jibai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but his relief was short-lived. Hearing the words of the body-refining teacher, he became anxious again.

The body-refining teacher looked at Ling Yi and said, "You must have been tired from class today. It would be a bit unfair to fight you like this. How about we spar tomorrow?"

As dawn breaks: "..."

Ling nodded: "Okay."

As dawn broke, Dongfang Jibai raised his hand to his forehead. Well, after tomorrow, Ling Yi shouldn't have to come to the body-refining class anymore.

"That's all for today, get out of class dismissed." After the body-refining teacher finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yi and said, "Remember tomorrow, you can't ask for leave. If you ask for leave and don't come, I will send someone to look for you."

Ling Yi: "I won't not come."

"That's fine then." After saying that, the teacher let the student go.

After completing their physical training, the students were covered in sweat, so instead of changing back into their academy uniforms, they returned to their dormitories in their training clothes.

On the way back, Ling Yi learned about the other three students in the dormitory. When the other three realized they were in the same dormitory as Ling Yi, they all hesitated to speak.

Ling Yi seemed too aloof and difficult to get along with, so the three of them thought about it and decided not to try to befriend him. They decided to just leave each other alone.

After showering and washing up in the dormitory, Ling Yi went to the cafeteria. After finishing her meal, it was only noon, an hour before her afternoon class.

Ling Yi originally planned to go back to rest, but in the end she didn't.

...

The Dean's Courtyard.

After Lin Xinze finished eating with the dean, he practiced horse stance in the small courtyard. Grandpa Dongfang said that he had spiritual roots and could cultivate. Before drawing spiritual energy into his body, he needed to build a solid physical foundation so that his body could better withstand the spiritual energy.

Lin Xinze was sweating profusely after a short while, but even so, he didn't stop.

Grandpa Dongfang said that we must cultivate diligently so that we can protect ourselves and those we want to protect.

He wanted to protect his older brother and younger sister.

But he was too small, and soon Lin Xinze lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

A soft chuckle rang out.

Lin Xinze looked around blankly and saw Ling Yi leaning against the door with her arms crossed, smiling at him. He didn't know how long she had been watching him.

"Sister!" Lin Xinze called out happily, trying to get up by supporting himself with his hands on the ground. However, his legs were so weak from the thorns that he couldn't muster any strength. As soon as his buttocks lifted off the ground, his legs gave way and he fell back to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Ling Yi went into the courtyard, picked the person up from the ground, and placed him on a stone bench nearby: "Useless."

Lin Xinze was covered in sweat and his face was flushed. He wasn't angry when Ling Yi said he was useless. Instead, he was very happy: "Little sister, you've come to see me."

He knew his sister didn't like him, and he thought it would be a long time before she came to see him, but he didn't expect her to come so soon.

Lin Xinze said, "Sister, I will work hard in my cultivation."

Ling Yi didn't answer, but asked, "Where is the dean?"

"Grandpa Dongfang is in the study."

Ling Yi didn't say anything more. He grabbed the person with one hand and went to Lin Xinze's room. He took out the bathtub, filled it with enough water, heated it up, stripped the person naked, and threw them in.

Lin Xinze chuckled and started playing in the water.

Ling Yi didn't give him much time. She quickly washed him clean and took him out. Once the spiritual energy was used, the water on his hair and body was completely dried. After dressing him, the little dumpling who had been all red-faced, sweaty, and had dirty hands and bottom became clean again.

"Stand aside." Ling Yi finished tidying up the person, gently pushed them aside, and began to deal with the water in the bathtub.

Once everything was ready, the dean arrived. Seeing Ling Yi there, the dean wasn't surprised and asked with a smile, "How was class today?"

Ling Yidao: "It's alright."

The dean knew that this was acceptable but not very satisfactory, but Ling Yi's situation was special, so he figured it was acceptable.

After chatting with the dean for a few minutes, Ling Yi left.

...

After leaving the dean's place, it wasn't time for class yet, but Ling Yi didn't want to go back to the dormitory, so he looked around and waited until it was almost time before heading to the Second-Level First Hospital.

In the afternoon cultivation class, Ling Yi, who has dual water and fire elemental roots, was assigned to the fire academy by the teacher in charge of multi-elemental roots.

Ling Yi and the students whose spiritual roots were fire-attribute went to the Fire Academy together.

This cultivation lasted for four hours. When Ling Yi finished and was returning home, she passed by the courtyard next door when a person staggered and bumped into her.
