Chapter 575: Chapter 570: Bai Xiaotang Side Story (Part 4)
Ji Ning scanned the audience of over two thousand students and immediately spotted Bai Xiaotang and You Le in the lineup, even their expressions were clearly visible to her.
She slightly tilted her head and asked the man beside her, "Do you really want to stay at the military academy as an instructor?"
Fu Yuanxuan coughed lightly, a bit awkwardly saying, "Yes, you promised me."
"Is it because of Bai Xiaotang?" Ji Ning glanced again at the young girl in the crowd, smiling as she asked.
Fu Yuanxuan pressed his lips together and responded with a simple "Hmm," his gaze focused intently on the girl in the crowd.
Ji Ning’s lips curved slightly, gently reminding him, "Mind your boundaries, don’t bring any negative influence to her."
"Understood."
Once everyone in the audience was assembled, the principal of the First Military Academy began his speech and introduced the people standing beside him to the students.
Bai Xiaotang, following the principal’s introduction, realized that the man standing beside Ji Ning was actually the Fu Yuanxuan who had stood her up.
"This is Fu Yuanxuan, the chief instructor responsible for all your ordnance training in the future. Instructor Fu, let’s welcome him..."
"Wow, such a handsome instructor!"
Hearing the exclamations from the surrounding female students, Bai Xiaotang felt a bit of an unusual sensation rising in her heart.
He had clearly promised to accompany her to school but disappeared without a trace due to a mission.
Not only was there no news, upon their next meeting, he had become her instructor.
What exactly was this man thinking?
Does he not need to go to Beizhou anymore?
And why is Sister Ning also on the stage?
Bai Xiaotang pondered as she looked towards Fu Yuanxuan and Ji Ning on the platform.
After introducing Fu Yuanxuan, the principal specifically walked over to Ji Ning, raising his voice to introduce, "Now, let me formally introduce this instructor, Ji Ning. She, like you, is a freshman this year, but due to her outstanding abilities, she has been extraordinarily promoted to major by the First Base. She has been assigned as your High-level Body Refining Technique instructor. She will be responsible for teaching you both High-level Body Refining Technique and High-level Superpower Cultivation. Let’s hear a few words from Instructor Ji..."
The instant he finished speaking, the crowd erupted, and everyone started clapping in amazement.
Compared to the secrecy surrounding superpower users outside, superpower users seemed quite common in the military academy.
They didn’t need to wear masks to hide their identities and could train together with the regular students, sharing the same teaching buildings, cafeteria, dormitories, and other public places.
A superpower user merely wore an additional suppression ring, but under the cover of the training uniforms, it was difficult to distinguish who was a superpower user at a glance.
Just like Bai Xiaotang now, although she is a superpower user, she still participated in training with her regular classmates.
The girl next to Bai Xiaotang nudged her and whispered, "That one on stage must be a high-level superpower big shot. Didn’t expect her to be so young. I wonder which college she’s from? Maybe we can get her contact info."
Bai Xiaotang chuckled and nodded, "She’s from the Research and Development Engineering College."
"How do you know..." Before finishing her sentence, the girl’s eyes widened in disbelief and asked, "Isn’t she your specially admitted classmate?"
Bai Xiaotang nodded proudly, "My Sister Ning is super incredible."
"Wow, Xiao Tang, I didn’t expect you to not only be a superpower user but also a superpower user with connections..."
Bai Xiaotang was taken aback, wondering how she knew she was a superpower user.
After all, she had never rolled up her sleeves.
The girl chuckled and glanced at her left wrist, "You’re the only girl in our class not living with us in the same dorm."
"Do you all live in the same dorm?" Bai Xiaotang asked in surprise.
She had always thought that the classmates were randomly assigned to dorms.
"Yeah, our girls’ dorms have six beds per room, usually inhabited by girls from the same class. Only lone girls are assigned to live with girls from other colleges. But our class has 12 girls, and since you’re not living with us, it can only mean you’re a superpower user."
Bai Xiaotang was a bit embarrassed and fiddled with her pants leg, thinking she had hidden it well these past days.
"So, what’s your superpower? Can you share?"
Bai Xiaotang whispered, "Healing."
"Really..."
The girl’s voice rose in shock, instantly attracting the stern attention of the instructor in front.
Startled, the two immediately stood properly, lowering their heads like quails.
Ji Ning on stage also noticed the commotion there, raised the volume of the microphone, and drew attention back to her speech.
"... Awakening a superpower in the future won’t be difficult for ordinary people. According to experimental data, through effective body refinement training and the improvement of physique with the newly developed Nutrition Pod, the chances of ordinary people awakening a superpower can increase five to six times compared to before. With technological development, more and more ordinary people will awaken superpowers in the future. This represents a form of life evolution..."
Ji Ning’s words were quite bold, shattering many newbies’ and instructors’ perceptions.
Superpower users represent life’s evolution?
Never before had anyone said this.
Everyone believed that becoming a superpower user was reserved for those with high talent blessed by heaven’s favor.
But now, someone told them that through effective training and body improvements, the chances of awakening a superpower can increase, and even becoming a superpower user will normalize in the future.
Isn’t that exciting?
The applause and chatter from the audience grew louder, and the instructors couldn’t suppress it even after several attempts, so they let everyone continue discussing.
Some bold students even wanted to raise questions, but the principal took the microphone and stopped them.
"Alright, I know you have many questions for Instructor Ji, but ask her when the body refining program begins. For now, your time is limited, and you don’t want to be stuck listening to this old man under the sun, do you? Now, let me introduce the next instructor..."
Ji Ning’s words were like a pebble thrown into calm lake waters, causing a long-lasting ripple.
The hot topic among freshmen shifted from who was the most beautiful or handsome in their department to "Who is Instructor Ji?"
Why was Instructor Ji exceptionally promoted to major?
Which college freshman is Instructor Ji from?
Etc...
Any topic with Instructor Ji’s name became highly popular among the newcomers.
Even Bai Xiaotang received enthusiastic attention from her classmates, and the word spread through the entire college.
"Xiao Tang, what’s your classmate’s background? Will awakening a superpower really become the norm?"
"Xiao Tang, why was your classmate extraordinarily promoted to major at the First Base and became our instructor?"
"Xiao Tang, was your classmate this amazing in high school? What level superpower user is she?"
...
Bai Xiaotang was inundated with questions from her classmates, profoundly regretting having told her fellow student she knew Ji Ning.
"Sister Ning, she..."
Before finishing her sentence, Ji Ning’s voice came from a short distance away.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me directly."
Bai Xiaotang’s eyes lit up and she turned to see her Sister Ning approaching with a tray.
She was followed by Fu Yuanxuan, also carrying a tray.
Perhaps it was their strong presence, but the girls surrounding Bai Xiaotang immediately quieted down.
Some perceptively picked up their trays and moved to other tables.
Half the seats at Bai Xiaotang’s table suddenly emptied.
Ji Ning, amused, placed her tray across from Bai Xiaotang and sat down directly.
Fu Yuanxuan sat next to Ji Ning, formally greeting her.
"Hello, Bai."
