Translator Announcement (2/25/26)
So we’ll be launching a challenge goal for the 14-day mass release. Because of this, we’ll be resetting the days count, so today is again day 1 (Yay!). As for the details of the challenge goal:
-We will be posting daily announcements in the novel’s discord channel here.
-For the first 7 days, if we can get either 20 unique reactions (aka 1 per person) or 40 total reactions on those posts, we’ll release an extra chapter on the 8th day.
-Only reactions on these daily posts will count, and only one reaction per post per person will count as well.
-We’ll repeat this again for the 8th-14th days, so stay tuned for that.
-For those who can react to these daily announcements without missing one, we have a special surprise for you guys, so do your best!
-We will finalize the reaction count of each message 3 days after they’ve been posted, so if you missed 1 or 2 days, you still have time to react to them.
That’s it. So, good luck and do your best!

T/N - Face-slap incoming! Another one set up right after Meng Li’s. Actually, Meng Li’s face-slap was fine as the author didn’t push it too much. Hopefully, they show the same restraint here.
Kaiyang Academy.
Inside the Instructor's office.
"You said you've already changed your class?"
Zhou Minjun frowned, her voluptuous and rounded legs crossed, her arms folded across her chest.
She looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with an astonished expression.
The woman was wearing a professional white shirt and a black hip-hugging skirt extended to the root of her thighs, outlining a sexy curve.
At a glance, she was a woman who couldn't be more mature.
"Yes, Instructor. I want to apply for the specialized class and enter dungeons for training as soon as possible."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Didn't you say that you were buying a Class Card from me before? Why the sudden change of mind?"
Zhou Minjun didn't mean to reprimand her, but she was worried that Ye Xiaoxiao had been scammed.
"Oh, my brother became a Divine Agent. Although he's a Wild God Agent, he's family after all, so the card’s relatively reliable. So I obtained my Class Card from him."
"Wild God?"
Hearing this, Zhou Minjun's brow furrowed slightly.
How could a Wild God be reliable?
'This girl, she hasn't been cheated by a relative, has she?!'
It should be known that it was very difficult for Wild God Agents to find players. They could only try their luck in places like the Lower District.
And Ye Xiaoxiao was a well-known current student with excellent grades.
As long as Zhou Minjun helped her a bit and let her graduate smoothly, the Six Saint Sanctuaries would directly assign her an Agent.
A proper iron rice bowl*!
Now, she was actually working under a Wild God Agent?
This was as absurd as letting a student with a guaranteed admission to Tsinghua or Peking University go to a vocational college.
This kind of brother, it was better to just sever ties with him!
He probably couldn't provide any good-quality Class Cards for Ye Xiaoxiao either.
"Even if you’re relatives, you have to negotiate things like dungeon shares and basic salary. Even blood brothers settle accounts clearly. Don't be careless about this point. Don't let people use you as a beast of burden."
She reminded Ye Xiaoxiao, but after thinking for a while, she was still not at ease and said.
"When you have time another day, arrange for me to meet your brother. I'll go and have a good talk with him about this matter."
Zhou Minjun was mainly concerned that Ye Xiaoxiao was still young, and she was worried her student was too thin-skinned.
So she might as well go and negotiate for her.
You ask what qualifications she had to represent Ye Xiaoxiao?
Are you kidding?!
She was a gold-medal Agent of the Six Saint Sanctuaries and had certain law enforcement powers.
She had just broken through recently and had an extra player slot in her hands.
It was originally intended for a talent like Ye Xiaoxiao.
She didn't expect that someone would pluck the peach from right under her nose!
Both publicly and privately, she had the right to meet that little thief.
"Teacher Zhou, this... Is it necessary? I believe in my brother's character, and the Class Card he gave me is SSS-Rank."
'SSS-Rank?'
'A Wild God Agent having the agency rights for an SSS-Rank Class Card?'
'Even I, a gold-medal Agent of the Six Saint Sanctuaries, wouldn't dare to boast like that.'
'This girl, was she scammed and is still trying to protect her relative?'
"Whether his character is good or not, I'll know after I meet him."
"Then... Alright."
Seeing Zhou Minjun's resolute attitude, Ye Xiaoxiao could only sigh and agree.
"This afternoon, I happen to be taking a batch of students to the practical training room for placement tests. After you finish paying the handling fee at the class transfer building, just come to me at two in the afternoon."
"Okay, Teacher Zhou."
Specialized classes were also divided into different classes.
Respectively, there were Special Grade Class, Advanced Class, and Ordinary Class.
There were obvious differences in treatment among these three.
In addition to the daily curriculum, the Special Grade Class also had gold-medal power levelers to lead speed runs through dungeons.
They even had the qualification to participate in national competitions!
But the people who could enter the Special Grade Class were almost all elites among elites!
Not only were their own class grades high, but they also had strong combat talent.
And this place, the academy, mainly focused on competitive PK!
So, combat talent was extremely important to them!
Even if they held a high-quality class, if they had poor combat talent and couldn't bring out their class’s role, they just wouldn’t do.
As for entering dungeons?
Hehe!
You've already come to school, what dungeons are you entering?
Just leave such small matters to the power levelers.
Only those poor people from the Lower District without money would eke out a living in dungeons.
True geniuses all focused on PK, okay?!
Soon.
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished paying the handling fee, she went to find Zhou Minjun.
For this placement practical test, besides Ye Xiaoxiao, six other students had just changed their classes.
"Ho! Ha!"
"A-da!"
"Ora ora ora ora!"
"Muda muda muda muda!"
As soon as everyone entered the practical training room, they could hear bursts of passionate and heroic shouts.
Looking towards the sound, they found that many students were already in the arena and taking the so-called placement practicals.
Among them, on the highest platform in the very center…
…Were seven judges. They had serious expressions, their brows tightly furrowed.
Their gazes were fixed on the students fighting fiercely in the arena.
Occasionally, they would lower their heads to write and draw in their small notebooks, recording something.
Clearly, they were here to grade the students transferring classes.
"Your opponents are all Level 10 trainer players. Your score is determined by your practical performance and the time you take.
The judges will score you based on these two points and then determine your class."
Zhou Minjun led the students to the rest seats on the side and briefly explained the rules to them.
"Teacher, I have a question."
At this moment, a young girl with a ponytail raised her hand to ask something.
"Speak."
Zhou Minjun looked at the young girl.
"If we defeat those trainer players, how is that counted?"
Hearing this, a young man laughed instantly and retorted grumpily.
"What are you thinking? The difference between Level 10 players and us, who just changed to Level 1, isn’t just a little bit. The stat difference alone can crush you!"
Indeed, for players within Level 10, the stat increase per level was 1-2 points.
The total attribute increase was 9-18 points.
Even for the most pathetic D-Rank class, their attributes at Level 10 were generally around 19.
For S-Rank, one of their attributes could even reach 30 points.
And the attributes of a general Level 1 player were only 10 to 15 points.
Almost double the difference.
Moreover, those Level 10 trainer players had practical combat experience.
It was almost impossible for a newcomer to win against them.
"Even for an SSS-Rank class, the difficulty of defeating a trainer is extremely high. After all, besides the gap in level and stats, there’s also practical combat experience."
Zhou Minjun scanned the seven students and explained patiently.
"So difficult..."
The ponytail girl shrank her neck and directly dismissed this idea.
"However… there were still people who achieved the feat of defeating a trainer in the past."
Seeing everyone dejected, Zhou Minjun remembered a certain past event and murmured so.
These words instantly aroused the interest of everyone present.
"Who?"
"So amazing? Didn't you say that even an SSS-Rank class would have difficulty defeating one?"
Seeing the students' curious faces, eager for knowledge…
A corner of Zhou Minjun’s mouth was raised somewhat proudly as she said.
"The current Heavenly Dao Alliance Saintess, Jiang Linyue!"
"Goddess Jiang?"
"She was that strong even as a student?!"
The students looked astonished.
As the National Goddess, who didn't know Jiang Linyue?
"En. After Jiang Linyue awakened her Path, she innately came with the trait 'Jade Spirit Sacred Body'. Her mana consumption almost never ran into a deficit.
Coupled with her SSS-Rank Sword Immortal class, she defeated a Level 10 trainer when she was still a newcomer.
And that trainer's class quality was A-Rank.
You could say that Jiang Linyue is the most outstanding student I have ever taught."
Hearing this, the students looked shocked.
"Teacher, you even taught Goddess Jiang?"
"Holy crap! I can brag about this for a year."
Looking at the shocked expressions on the students' faces, the smile on Zhou Minjun’s face grew thicker, and she continued.
"So, if anyone among you can achieve the feat of solo killing a trainer, you can directly enter the Special Grade Class."
