Multiverse Skill System

Perhaps it was Yi Shuihan's tacit agreement that pleased Ba Tianhun, because this time he didn't continue to pester Yi Shuihan.

"Your brother Han is a bit introverted, but he's very responsible. Don't mind him. He's a genius on par with me. If we brothers join forces, we'll definitely dominate the Multiverse United High School. You're my first batch of underlings, and you'll be elders in the future. Be glad you have such discerning eyes!"

Chapter 1244, Class Assignment

Faintly, the voice of Ba Tianhun giving instructions could be heard. Yi Shuihan simply set up a warning array with sound shielding, and his figure disappeared from the room in the blink of an eye, entering his personal world.

Unbeknownst to Yi Shuihan, as he entered his personal world, Ba Tianhun suddenly looked at his room with a puzzled expression, clearly having discovered something.

After spending several days indulging in passionate encounters with his wives in his portable world, Yi Shuihan reappeared at the Multiverse United High School, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Today is the day of the freshman orientation ceremony. This kind of formalism is everywhere."

The freshman orientation ceremony is simply a gathering of all the new students, followed by a speech from school leaders to encourage them and inspire their enthusiasm; it's become a standard practice.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the freshman orientation is completely useless. Some things that students need to know will still be introduced during the orientation, which saves freshmen the time of searching for information.

The most important thing is the class assignment at the freshman orientation. This class assignment is actually like assigning a "nanny". At the beginning, any group activities at school will be announced by this "nanny" so that freshmen can integrate into school life as quickly as possible.

Most of the "nannies" here are senior students from the school, and even more capable ones. Being a "nanny" is a good job, as it not only earns you points but also helps you build relationships with freshmen, establish a network, and plan for the future. It's a highly sought-after position among senior students.

In the early stages, these senior and freshmen have a shared interest. In addition to needing guidance from seniors on how to improve their strength at school, freshmen also need seniors to provide certain protection. For example, when going to secret realms, seniors will also watch over them. Having a strong senior to accompany them can also prevent them from being bullied by other seniors.

Of course, the protection offered by senior students is also limited. If you cannot demonstrate your value and make them feel worthwhile, they will just sit there casually.

"Greetings, freshmen. I am Gu Jue, your Dean of Students. Now, please remember my words, and remember your original purpose for coming to the Multiverse United Academy: to become stronger and become the Chaos Emperor. During this process, you may encounter many difficulties, perhaps..."

He talked for three days and three nights straight, without repeating himself. If there hadn't been a time limit, this headmaster would probably have continued. It's clear he really enjoys public speaking; he's quite an oddball among the Chaos Kings.

On the fourth day, the dean of students had already left, and one by one, the senior students began to go up on stage, calling out names. Those whose names were called walked with them. In other words, they were the "nannies" of the new students whose names were called. Well, to put it more bluntly, they were similar to student mentors in universities. The reason they were not mentors was because they did not have the qualifications to be teachers, after all, the difference in their levels was not that great.

Senior students are, in essence, just like freshmen; they are students whose goal is to graduate successfully from the Multiverse United University.

It is said that initially, to graduate from the All-Worlds United Academy, one had to successfully break through to the Chaos Emperor level. However, the Chaos Emperor level was too difficult to break through to, and for many years, there were even instances where no one broke through for hundreds of millions of years. Therefore, the graduation standard was lowered to the point that only one person needed to break through to the Chaos Emperor level. As a result, some people were able to graduate from time to time.

Of course, overall, the number of people who can graduate is still too small. Just look at the current school with tens of millions of students, only a little over a thousand meet the graduation requirements, so the graduation rate is only one in ten thousand.

This graduation rate is far too low in the ordinary world, where graduation rates are often over 90%. If a school had such a low graduation rate, the principal would probably be fired on the spot.

When Yi Shuihan's name was called, most of the new students had already been called away. Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan and Ba Tianhun were assigned together, and he would not be able to get rid of Ba Tianhun in a short time.

Yi Shuihan's class had a total of 30 people, which was neither too many nor too few. Among them, six were pure human race, about one-fifth of the class.

As his mentor, Wordsworth was a winged angel, according to his self-introduction. If he hadn't said it, Yi Shuihan would probably have thought he was a pure human, because his wings were so well hidden.

The Angel race is considered a relatively large race in the myriad worlds, although it is certainly not as powerful as the human race.

"We'll be spending a lot of time together over the next thousand years, and we'll become friends at school, supporting each other. So let's start by introducing ourselves briefly to strengthen our connections. I'm a senior student, so I'll lead the way."

Wordsworth spoke in a gentle voice and his every move exuded gentlemanly charm, making him popular with the women in the class, and even men like Yi Shuihan couldn't bring themselves to dislike him.

Overall, the initial impression was quite good.

"My name has been introduced before, it's Wordsworth. You can call me Senior Wordsworth, or just Wordsworth without the senior title. But if you call me that with other senior students, you must add 'senior' to your title, because some senior students value this a lot. If you don't, you might run into trouble."

"I am an angel of the Angel Clan. I won't go into my specific cultivation level, and you shouldn't ask about it casually. Asking about someone's cultivation level in school is taboo. Instead, you can use a few simple methods to judge the strength of others. One is to look at their combat power ranking, which is the most authoritative. You can also look at the Heavenly Ranking, but the Heavenly Ranking is very vague. Generally speaking, the difference in strength between people who have passed through the same level is still quite large."

"And then there's the ranking system in the virtual battlefield, especially the rank. I'll show you how to do that later. Anyway, I'm getting a bit off-topic. To be honest, I like good food and I hate anything with an evil aura..."

Wordsworth was quite talkative, spending a full half hour introducing himself before stopping, giving everyone a good understanding of him and achieving the purpose of the introduction.

"Now it's your turn to introduce yourselves. Who wants to go first?"

"I'm here. I'm Ba Tianhun, and my purpose in coming to the Multiverse United High School is to form a gang with over ten thousand members—the Ba Tian Gang. We already have twelve members, and everyone is welcome to join. What I like is..."

Chapter 1245, Experience Facilities

Yi Shuihan's chuunibyou-filled speech elicited various expressions from his classmates. He stood not far away, expressionless, secretly relieved that Ba Tianhun hadn't revealed that he was the vice leader of the gang. Otherwise, he probably would have faced strange looks from his classmates as well.

Ba Tianhun spoke for even longer than Wordsworth, and his self-introduction was quite good.

With Ba Tianhun taking the lead, the atmosphere got better and better. In any case, no one could be more humiliating than Ba ​​Tianhun!

They introduced themselves one by one, with varying lengths of introduction and rather strange content. For example, one student, after introducing himself, spent the rest of the time talking about food, what he had eaten in which places, and so on. Another student replaced food with alcohol.

The member of the Shadow Clan had the shortest introduction, only mentioning one name, which was a single character: Lu.

The Shadow Clan is very famous throughout the myriad realms, known as a specialized assassination race. Because their form is similar to a shadow, they can hide in any dark place and often appear unexpectedly, making them very suitable for assassination.

Logically speaking, such an assassination race shouldn't be very popular, but that's not actually the case. This is because the Shadow Clan has a very special characteristic: once someone is recognized by them, they can gain the other person's loyalty, and from then on, that Shadow Clan member will become the shadow of the person they are loyal to.

As a shadow, you can give him any order and he will carry it out, even if it means he commits suicide. He is the most loyal subordinate. Many people in the myriad worlds are proud to have a member of the Shadow Clan as their shadow.

Of course, this kind of thing must be approved by the Shadow Clan member himself. If it is forced, he will be assassinated by the entire Shadow Clan if it is found out. The Shadow Clan is not the strongest, but over the years, countless members have become important figures. Offending them is like stirring up a hornet's nest.

As you can see, many students are looking at Lu with burning eyes, trying to get his attention, but Lu doesn't react at all.

The Shadow Clan mostly chooses masters who are stronger than themselves. Even the very few who do choose are highly talented and promising individuals. They wouldn't even give a second glance to someone whose potential and strength are inferior to their own.

Yi Shuihan noticed that when Ba Tianhun went up to introduce himself, Lu glanced at him for a few seconds. This was a small detail. When others went up, he mostly just glanced at them and then became immersed in his own world.

"My name is Yi Shuihan, I am a human, and I have only one purpose in coming to this school: to become the Chaos Emperor. Because I have multiple partners, I would appreciate it if you would not disturb me. Of course, if you still like me, I can't stop you."

Yi Shuihan's self-introduction was also very brief, but it didn't cause much of a stir. Having multiple partners is too common in the myriad realms, and aiming to become the Chaos Emperor is too vague. Most people who come here have such a purpose, so there's really no need to say it out loud.

After the introductions, Wordsworth led everyone to some of the school's special buildings to give them a preliminary experience of school life, such as the Enlightenment Pavilion, the Academy Mission Hall, the Secret Technique Library, and the Cultivation Consultation Room...

"This is the Heart Demon Cliff. If you feel lost in your cultivation, you can come here. It can reflect the deepest part of your soul, and even your inner demons cannot be hidden here. You can try it out and see the effect. Of course, you can also put this opportunity off for later."

Knowing that Wordsworth was in charge, Yi Shuihan realized that new students also had benefits. Many facilities could be used for free once, and everyone would have at least one point on their ID card upon entering the school.

In Yi Shuihan's class, most students had scores above 10 points, and a few had scores over 100. Of course, the highest scores were still Yi Shuihan and Ba Tianhun. Yi Shuihan originally had 10,000 points, but after spending some, he had over 9,000 points. Ba Tianhun, on the other hand, had a whopping 100,000 points. Both were 7-star students, but the difference was so huge, which was obviously suspicious.

The price of Heart Demon Cliff is also quite high. It costs 1 Realm Point to enter each time, and you can only stay for 1 day each time. If you want to stay for more than a day, you have to pay more money.

Many students in the class went in to experience it, and Yi Shuihan was no exception. He was also very interested in this Heart Demon Cliff.

Only the person who came out of the Heart Demon Cliff knows exactly what happened; no one else can see it. After coming out, many people had different expressions, except for a few who looked as if they hadn't gone in at all.

Wordsworth seemed to have anticipated this, showing an understanding expression, but he didn't say anything more about it and continued to lead everyone to the next place.

"Junior Brother Yi Shuihan, why don't you give it a try?"

Outside the Tongtian Pavilion, all of Yi Shuihan's classmates except for Yi Shuihan and Wordsworth had entered.

"I've already been here, so going back won't do any good; it'll just be a waste of time."

"I see. I had forgotten that you were admitted without taking the entrance exam and you've already visited quite a few places in the past few days."

Yi Shuihan had already mentioned this matter once when he went to Wudao Pavilion, but he didn't specify which places he went last time.

"I wonder how many levels you've cleared, junior?"

She looked at Yi Shuihan with curiosity, as if she was just asking casually.

"The 4th floor."

Yi Shuihan subconsciously reduced the level of openness, mainly because his low-key nature was ingrained, and besides, he wasn't familiar with this person, so there was no need to be so frank.

"Admission without examination is amazing. When I first came here, I barely passed the third level. I stayed in the school for more than 300,000 years before I reached the fifth level. I was still quite far from the sixth level."

Although no one explicitly stated their cultivation level, it was still possible to sense their major realms, so the realm of True Saint Yi Shuihan was clearly visible.

"Senior Hua Si is too kind."

Yi Shuihan could sense that Wordsworth's attitude towards him was becoming increasingly friendly, probably because he saw the value in winning him over.

Wordsworth's subsequent actions proved this point; he started chatting with Yi Shuihan and talked about some school secrets that he hadn't told the other classmates before, acting like he was one of their own.

Yi Shuihan did not refuse Wordsworth's overtures. After all, they had no prior conflict and were still student and mentor, so they were acquaintances at the school. Besides, knowing more secrets would indeed be useful to Yi Shuihan.

Chapter 1246, Brother Han, what do you suggest we do?

About half an hour later, Yi Shuihan's classmates came out one after another. Most of them had passed the second or third level. After all, less than half of them had actually reached the True Saint level, and the geniuses among the True Saints were not common.

There were more than one person who actually passed level 4. Besides Yi Shuihan, who was only on level 4 but actually on level 5, Ba Tianhun also passed level 4. He even stayed on level 5 for a long time. He said that if he could just hold on a little longer, he could pass level 5. Another person who passed level 4 was Lu from the Shadow Clan.

This result satisfied Wordsworth, since the more powerful people in his class, the greater the benefits he could gain in the future. He quickly took this opportunity to build good relationships and get Lu and Batianhun into the privileged class as well.

Looking at Wordsworth, who was all smiles at Batianhun, Yi Shuihan also felt the cruelty of the school; it really was all about profit!

"Hahaha, I really am a genius. Just watch! Before long, I will also be a master of the fifth level of the Tower of Babel, on the same level as Hua Si."

Knowing the difficulty of the challenge, Ba Tianhun looked smug and spoke loudly, as if afraid others wouldn't know he had passed the fourth level.

"Wahs, these are the freshmen you're mentoring. They look pretty good!"

Just then, a voice rang out, and a man who was even more handsome than Wordsworth walked over with a group of people.

"Contender, what are you doing here?"

Wordsworth's expression changed slightly; this was not his reaction to meeting a friend.

"Hehe, that's a rather strange question. If you can come here, why can't I? I'm a mentor too!"

His voice sounded slightly sarcastic, and after he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from behind the man whom Wordsworth called Constantine.

"What are you laughing at? How dare you laugh at our senior? Hurry up and greet him."

That's what he said, but he wasn't really blaming anyone; on the contrary, he had an expression of admiration on his face.

"Hello, senior."

The sound of unison filled the air, making Wordsworth's face darken.

"Has everyone come out? If no one is inside, let's go."

"That looks a bit cowardly," Wozniak said.

In fact, in terms of strength alone, Wordsworth is no weaker than Constantine. It's just that the other party has a powerful older brother who is a master in the virtual battlefield. If a conflict breaks out, Wordsworth will be the one who ultimately suffers the loss.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave! How about we have some fun? I see there are a lot of geniuses in your class, quite a few of them have passed the 4th level. How about we see who has more people in their class who have passed the 4th level? We won't go too far. If I lose, I'll give you 50 boundary points. If you lose, you give me 50 boundary points too, how about that?"

It was called a suggestion, but it actually carried a strong sense of threat, which anyone with a little emotional intelligence could tell.

The 50 threshold is already a huge number, and even for a veteran like Wordsworth, it cannot be ignored; it represents tens of thousands of years of accumulation.

"I have something to do, let's talk next time!"

Wordsworth wasn't stupid. Since Constantine had brought it up, he must have been confident, and most likely he was. If he agreed, the chances of losing would be too high, so it was best to refuse.

"Everyone, follow me."

Before Constantine could react, Wordsworth urged Yi Shuihan and the others to hurry up, determined not to confront Constantine.

However, Constantine was not about to let Wordsworth go so easily. He walked up to Wordsworth and blocked his way.

"You have to play with me today, or you're not leaving."

"Containtin, do you think I'm afraid of you? Let's fight in the virtual battlefield if you dare!"

Wordsworth's temper flared up as well; his repeated forbearance did not mean he was without anger.

When the topic turned to the virtual battlefield, a hint of hesitation crossed Constantine's eyes. He wasn't confident he could defeat Wordsworth in a real virtual battle.

Seeing Constantine's expression, Wordsworth felt much better, but he didn't continue to provoke Constantine. If he really angered the other's older brother, his loss would probably be more than just 50 Limit Points. That's 50 Limit Points! His salary as a mentor was only 30 Limit Points, and each person only got 1 Limit Point.

Normally, Constantine might not have continued to press the matter, but the situation was different this time. There was a group of freshmen behind Constantine, and he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of them.

His eyes sharpened, and Constantine revealed an arrogant smile, saying...

"I admit you have some strength, but today I'm not competing with you on that. I'm competing on who has more men who can clear the four levels of the Tower of Babel. If you really don't want to compete, you can hand over 49 boundary points. I'll leave you 1 boundary point as a reward."

Upon hearing this, Wordsworth's face turned red with anger, and his eyes were filled with fury. At this moment, he gradually forgot his fear of his brother Constantine.

“My brother made a breakthrough a few days ago, and he will be a King-level player in a while. I will definitely introduce you to my brother when that happens.”

Like a bucket of cold water, it extinguished the anger in Wordsworth's heart. He was only a Gold-ranked player, and he couldn't afford to offend even a King-ranked player, let alone a King-ranked player who was about to become an Emperor.

Are we really going to hand over the 50th threshold so easily? Wordsworth was extremely unwilling, but he couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

Fine, I'll just have to pay to avoid further trouble!

Just as Wordsworth made up his mind, Tyrant Soul suddenly walked up to Constantine, looked him up and down, and said...

"Give me some face, and let's just let this go. My Batian Gang will owe you a favor in the future."

A brief silence fell over the surroundings as everyone stared in astonishment at Ba Tianhun.

A moment later, a burst of laughter erupted.

"Hahaha, where did this clown come from? Let's give him face. He's just a freshman like us, but he thinks he's something special."

"The Overlord Gang? What an arrogant name! They dare to call themselves that; they're really not afraid of death."

"Interesting, so interesting, to actually meet such a bizarre guy here."

The people on Wordsworth's side didn't laugh, after all, Ba Tianhun meant well. However, many of the students silently took a few steps away from Ba Tianhun, looking as if they didn't know him at all.
