Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 81: Registration and the Villa Arena Challenge, Midnight Rabbit Roast, Fragrant Aroma Filling Several Villas
More than an hour later, a dozen buses drove into Great Xia Academy.
All the new students, under the guidance and direction of the senior students, went through the procedures for registration and allocation of accommodation.
Except for Lin Ping’an, who was the only exception. He didn’t communicate with anyone and headed straight to the villa area.
In just a few minutes, his figure disappeared.
Upon seeing this, the new students began to mock.
"Hmph! A privileged connection is still a privileged connection, so unsociable. I will definitely never be friends with that guy."
"Yeah, yeah, when we form exploration squads in the future, we absolutely don’t need that guy. He doesn’t deserve to be my teammate at all."
"Seriously, being classmates with someone like that is really lowering my standards."
"Just a worthless top scorer acting so arrogantly—with fortune, the petty one’s true colors are revealed."
"By the way, you’ve seen that Exotic Beast’s wounds, right? They look exactly like the marks on the bodies of the Exotic Beasts we picked up. What does this say? It says that the Exotic Beast of First Grade Middle Tier wasn’t even killed by him; he simply picked up a corpse and pretended it was his feat!"
"Hmph! I noticed too! Just didn’t want to expose that guy at the time! Cheating during the entrance trial—how could such a person exist? If you ask me, he ought to be expelled; he doesn’t belong as a student of Great Xia Academy."
"..."
It started off alright, but when the new students got more and more outrageous, the seniors decided to step in and stop them.
"Enough! Silence! Line up for registration and collect the keys to your accommodation."
Some words can be spoken, others can stay in your mind, but can’t be said out loud.
Upon hearing this, the new students held back their words, reluctantly lining up with displeasure on their faces.
There’s no helping it. Martial Artists have always respected strength, and it’s even more so within the Academy.
If they got punched because of this small matter, they would really deserve it.
After that, the new students went to complete their procedures one by one.
"Song Zhiyong, Villa No.7, single occupancy."
...
"Li Siyang, Villa No.136, single occupancy."
...
"Zheng Zhixian, Zhao Xiaoqiang, Villa No.368, double occupancy."
...
"Zhang Long, Ma Hu, Hu Weijie, Wen Zhixian, Villa No.689, quadruple occupancy."
...
With the logistics teacher calling out the allocations, the new students collected their keys one after another.
"Eh? Everyone’s accommodation conditions are different! Why am I assigned to a quadruple villa and have to share with others? Why not assign me to the single villa?"
"Yeah! Yeah! I feel living alone in a villa would be much more comfortable."
"And the numbers! Could there be some meaning behind them?"
"I want to switch to a single villa! I don’t want to live with others!"
"..."
In the next instant, the logistics teacher easily suppressed the room by exploding with Qi Blood, quieting the clamor instantly.
Following that, he spoke loudly, infused with Qi Blood.
"In Great Xia Academy, strength is revered. The current allocations are based on your entrance exam rankings."
"Good grades mean better living conditions; poor grades mean naturally poorer conditions."
"However, in the Academy, practical abilities are equally valued."
"After the departmental exam the day after tomorrow, there will be a three-day villa arena challenge."
"Each person gets one chance, starting from the lower-ranked new students, proceeding in order. You can choose to challenge higher-ranked new students. If you win, you swap residences; if you lose, there’s no change."
Hearing these words, the new students were instantly excited, faces brimming with enthusiasm.
Having residences determined by practical abilities was right up their alley.
The logistics teacher yawned, his figure flickered, and he left directly.
He goes through this spiel every year, and he’s thoroughly skilled by now.
And soon, there’ll be a show to watch—it’s intriguing just to think about it.
Other senior students likewise dispersed in twos and threes, leaving one after another.
Primarily speaking, the task of receiving new students was over at this point.
The remaining matters no longer concerned them.
On the other side, the new students also gathered into small groups, their limbs animated with slightly excited voices.
"Ah hahahah...so interesting! This challenge is fantastic! I absolutely must seize a single villa to live in."
"Hmph! Who wouldn’t? When it comes to living in better conditions, no one wants to cohabit with others."
"Incidentally, I haven’t heard anything about Villa No.1. According to the ranking, could it be...occupied by that worthless top scorer Lin Ping’an?"
"Damn! They actually gave it to Lin Ping’an! That’s a soft target! I will definitely seize Villa No.1 from him."
"Unfortunately, it’s estimated that we won’t even get a chance to go on, and that worthless top scorer will be knocked off the arena."
"I wonder who’ll be the unlucky three ending up sharing with Lin Ping’an."
"No wonder he headed to the villa alone as soon as he got off the bus. Lin Ping’an probably knows there won’t be many days left for him to stay—seizing the chance to enjoy for a bit."
"..."
At the same moment.
At Great Xia Academy, in Villa No.1, the open-air courtyard.
Beneath the barbecue rack, the charcoal fire emitted heat.
And on it, a Clear Wind Cloud Rabbit skewered and mounted, constantly flipping with Lin Ping’an’s motion.
From time to time, he would spread some sauce on it.
At this moment, a rich aroma was wafting out, making mouths water.
Ever since Lin Ping’an returned, he had placed the food ingredients on the grill—not with medicinal effects in mind.
But he was simply indulging his taste buds, unconcerned about effects.
After a small world out there today, by slaughtering Exotic Beasts, Lin Ping’an managed to rake in over three hundred thousand Civilization Value points.
He felt quite good, hence in the mood to use barbecue to kill some time.
I must say, the Cloud Rabbit is renowned for its deliciousness—without even tasting, just a sniff proves it won’t disappoint.
Even if the preparation is crude, it can still be considered a delicacy.
An hour later.
The Cloud Rabbit was roasted to a golden brown, the rich aroma practically overwhelming, sensed beyond Villa No.1.
Several other nearby villas also caught that wonderful scent.
Especially in Villa No.2, the smell was particularly clear.
At that moment, a young person with a ponytail tied up high, holding a silver spear, looked angrily toward the distance and cursed profusely.
"Damn Lin Ping’an! Barbecue at night, can’t he be any more shameless!"
"Come the villa challenge in a couple of days, don’t let me catch you, or I’ll give you a good beating."
"I’m so pissed off! I should have brought back some Exotic Beast Meat!"
"..."
Similar dialogues took place in other villas where the aroma reached.
Honestly, these new students had been busy all day and were indeed starving.
But with the canteen closed, unavailability of luggage, and at this late hour—
Yet here was someone indulging in barbecue, especially the person they disliked the most.
Doesn’t their anger deserve some serious escalation?
Even if frustrated, none of the new students disturbed him.
Compared to begging for food from someone you despise, they’d rather endure hunger.
That night, Lin Ping’an ate and drank to his heart’s content, returning cheerfully to his room.
Yet the alluring aroma lingered stubbornly.
New students in the nearby villas likewise burrowed into bed while cursing nearly all night.
The next day, at dawn.
Several shadowy figures with dark circles hurriedly rushed toward the canteen.
