Chapter 218 - Division

Chapter 218 - Division

In the morning, Xiao Fang woke up in an empty bed, so he assumed that Jiang Mei had already left for work. Thinking about it reminded him that he also had somewhere he needed to be.

’Shit, I overslept.’

Xiao Fang quickly got dressed then headed out the door. Since he was late, he ran as fast as he could. Only a minute later, he was already standing outside of the Class District.

The Class District was divided into 5 sections, 1 for each class. Xiao Fang quickly entered the section reserved for the Phoenix-Class disciples then started to look around.

He passed by a few buildings, but they were all empty. Eventually, he found a few girls standing in a line just outside of a small stadium. At the back of the line, Xiao Fang found Ye Ming.

"Hey," Xiao Fang said as he stood behind her.

Ye Ming turned with a bit of an anxious look on her face, but eyes widened when she saw Xiao Fang. Even though he was wearing his clothes and blindfolded this time, she still couldn’t forget what she saw him doing in the bath place a few days ago.

"You made it. I was beginning to think that you forgot we had class today."

"I didn’t forget, I just had a long night," Xiao Fang replied.

Thinking about what he meant by that, Ye Ming started to have all kinds of wild and erotic thoughts.

’But Xue Li went home after he went into seclusion. Could there be someone else within the guild house keeping him company at night?’ Ye Ming thought.

Since she didn’t think it would be either of the elders, she began to suspect that it was Xiao Hei and Rong Shi. She didn’t know why she curious about it, but the thought of catching him having sex with another girl excited her.

As Ye Ming was thinking to herself, Xiao Fang was trying to hear what was going on inside of the small stadium.

"Ye Ming, what are we in line for?"

"We’re still in the middle of doing Placements,"

"What are Placements?" he asked.

Ye Ming looked at him funny.

"How do you not know what Placements are? We do them every year."

Xiao Fang shrugged.

...

Placements:

In each class, the gap between each disciple in terms of cultivation, battle power, and skill are too vast for them to be learning at the same pace. So in each class, disciples are put into Divisions. Meaning that disciples are split up into 5 smaller groups to learn the lesson at a different pace.

Each Class has 5 Divisions. Division 5 being the weakest, Division 1 being the strongest. During the year, disciples will have the opportunity to move up the divisions, but only those in the 1st Division can challenge those in a higher class. So that means, those in the 5th Division could lose their spot in their class if someone in the 1st Division of a lower class defeats them.

The only exception to this rule were those who were placed directly into a class after taking the outer court exam. These disciples would be automatically placed into the 5th Division, and for the rest of the year they wouldn’t have to worry about being demoted to a lower class.

...

Ye Ming explained it to Xiao Fang as best as she could.

"So, what division did you make it to last year?" Xiao Fang asked.

"3rd, but I think I can make it to the 2nd before the end of this year," she said.

"Only the 2nd Division? You don’t think you can make it to the 1st?"

"Of course not. The girls in the 1st Division are in a whole different league. If it wasn’t for the incident, they all would’ve made it to the Dragon-Class by now."

This was the second time Xiao Fang was hearing about an incident, but again he didn’t bother to ask more about it since it didn’t concern him.

Ye Ming tried to guess what Division Xiao Fang would get put into. Considering that he was stronger than her, she assumed he’d at least get the 2nd Division, but she refused to believe that he’d be strong enough to get put into the 1st Division? Thinking about it reminded her of Su Yun’s words.

Ye Ming looked at Xiao Fang again, but this time with a skeptical gaze. Xiao Fang didn’t give off the presence of a genius, his natural aura was too underwhelming.

’Why’s he still wearing a blindfold?’

In the middle of that thought, Xiao Fang began to walk away.

"Hey, where’re you going?" she asked.

"I’m going to class. Come find me inside when you’re done out here."

Ye Ming didn’t understand, so she quietly watched as he approached the teachers-assistant that was standing in front of the classroom doors. The teacher’s assistant was none other than Su Lingxi.

"It’s good to see you again, Long Wang," she said with a warm smile.

"Good to see you too, Elder Su."

After a brief exchange of words, Su Lingxi used her spirit qi to draw the number 5 in the air before directing it towards Xiao Fang chest. When her qi reached his black robes it left a small golden imprint of the number 5. Tracking the movement of her hand, he knew what she drew, so he could guess what it meant. As Ye Ming explained, he was automatically put into the 5th Division.

Once she was done, she finally let him through, and Ye Ming watched in sheer disbelief as she watched from the line.

’No way. Could he be...’

To be as strong as he was, she couldn’t believe that he came directly from the outer court. Everyone in the Phoenix-Class were geniuses and future Elders or Core Court disciples, but to be as strong as Xiao Fang was after coming straight out of the Outer Court was unheard of. What she still didn’t know was that Xiao Fang was only 19 years old.
