The Decomposition of Everything

Shen Zhi ignored the news and wiped the crumbs from Yi Qianqian's mouth lovingly. He bought a lot of snacks along the way, but she didn't stop eating. He teased, "You're home. You eat so much. Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

Yi Qianqian was in a very happy mood. She grinned with a playful arc and said, "You don't know how strictly I was controlled before. I couldn't do this or that. Even eating was strictly controlled. But now no one cares about me. And now I digest food very quickly, so I can completely control my body shape. This is the gospel of all beauties. I want to eat all kinds of snacks. This was my childhood dream."

Shen Zhi thought of her past. As a beautiful girl studying music and dance, she did have to control her eating. This can satisfy her appetite.

"Let's go!" Shen Zhi smiled and took her out of the teahouse, enjoying the customs of this alien city along the way. It seems that the civilians here can still live and work in peace and contentment, with happy smiles, as if the battles in the outside world have nothing to do with them.

The next day, Shen Zhi and Yi Qianqian walked through the square and entered the academy with great excitement. There was an open space here. Yesterday, they had already visited this academy, which was as old as a school. The academy had a unique architectural style, and every brick and tile revealed traces of time. The tall walls stood around, looking solemn and mysterious. The entire academy was wrapped in formations, but the interior occupied a large area.

The academy was divided into independent courtyards, and each magic department was split apart. In every corner of the academy, groups of students sat or stood, exchanging learning experiences and bits of life with each other. They gathered under the shade of trees, sat on the lawn, or leaned against the stone steps, forming a warm and harmonious picture.

But there were also students who practiced magic in the open space, either practicing alone or communicating and fighting, and there was a group of young people who were as confused as Shen Zhi and Yi Qianqian who stood blankly. Shen Zhi had seen the disciples of the aristocratic families who came together yesterday. Obviously, they were freshmen. Although the admission procedures were completed yesterday, they needed to wait for the teacher's notice.

There are only a few dozen new students this time. If it is the same every year, then for the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city, such a quota is indeed very important.

After a long time, an old man in a white robe slowly came out, and many old students consciously stopped their actions and saluted respectfully. The old man's face was calm and solemn. The years left deep wrinkles on his face, but his piercing eyes revealed endless wisdom and insight. There was a kind of majesty between his eyebrows, which made people in awe and dare not approach

The old man came in front of their group of freshmen, swept his sharp eyes, and a pressure came over, shocking everyone to bow their heads obediently and solemnly. Shen Zhi was slightly startled. This feeling was very similar to the situation when the Wanxiang strongman appeared in the sky. He didn't understand for the time being whether it was the pressure of the realm or the momentum formed by the level of the magic.

A dull voice came from the old man's mouth: "I am Zhai Tianyao, the dean of this academy. All newcomers, stand up according to the magic system."

The crowd was in a panic, but they were barely divided into eight groups. Shen Zhi and Yi Qianqian were separated. He was in the thunder system and Yi Qianqian was in the wood system. This was arranged yesterday.

After everyone was divided, Zhai Tianyao's expression remained unchanged and he spoke again: "The academy is an opportunity given by the imperial court to all living beings. You are all defective products eliminated by the immortal gate, but the road of cultivation is long. The quality of your qualifications does not mean that you are losers. Efforts, opportunities, and understanding are equally important. Countless people like you who were eliminated by the immortal gate eventually became true immortals after hard work. They are not much worse than the disciples of the five major sects. So don't underestimate yourself. I will wait for you in the inner gate. Remember that this is a gift from the imperial court. Everyone goes to your school according to your system."

After speaking, Zhai Tianyao waved his sleeves and turned away.

Shen Zhi gave Yi Qianqian a reassuring look. He understood what the dean meant. The true geniuses were detected to have the qualifications of the upper grade or above when they were very young, and then they were divided up by the six major immortal gates. The so-called school was actually a place for the imperial court to cultivate its own power, but Zhai Tianyao's words were not wrong. There were indeed many masters who stood out and became masters, and they were in an important position in the imperial court. But these students only had three years. If they could not break through Bao Yuan and enter the inner gate, they would be expelled.

Following everyone to the Thunder Department's school, there were really very few new students in the Thunder Department, only eight people, and there were actually two beautiful women in it. In fact, other special departments, such as the wind department and the ice department, were similar, and only the department of the five elements of magic had the largest number of people.

Walking into the courtyard of the school, it was simple and solemn, exuding a strong historical atmosphere. The tall wooden door was open, as if inviting people to enter this palace of knowledge. A plaque was hung on the lintel, engraved with the four characters "The Sea of ​​Learning Has No Boundaries", with vigorous writing, implying the truth that learning has no end.

The tables and chairs in the school are all made of fine wood. After years of precipitation, they look more and more old and solid.

Before the teacher came, the eight people found their seats and started chatting. Shen Zhi also joined in. He couldn't miss the opportunity to find out information and common sense. These people were future classmates and they were likely to be of great importance.

Sure enough, after everyone introduced, only Shen Zhi and one student, Cheng Fei, came from outside families, and the others were from the city, either the sons of wealthy merchants or the descendants of bureaucrats. There was no place for common people at all, and they simply couldn't afford the price. All the places were allocated by various forces paying tribute to the imperial court and the immortal gate. The reason why the academy can achieve good results is largely because the students are very rich.

The only way out for common people is to detect super qualifications when they are young, and the others can only give up or join the demon-killing army. Of course, they can also find a way to join the demon gate or become a casual cultivator.

Although Shen Zhi and Cheng Fei came from the outside world, their identities are actually more noble than others. Every family from the outside world has experienced thousands of years, and even many ancestors may still be alive in the immortal gate. For example, the Zhao family that was destroyed, the outside world is just a branch of them.

After everyone's compliments, it can be regarded as a preliminary friendship. They are all smart people, which makes Shen Zhi understand a lot of common sense. Especially the two women frequently comforted Cheng Fei and Shen Zhi.

Suddenly, a light cough came from the door. Shen Zhi turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe slowly walking in. The hem of the robe swayed gently with his steps. His face was calm, and there was a sense of majesty between his eyebrows. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

He came to the podium, looked around and chuckled, "Not bad, there are eight thunder department teachers this year. I am your thunder department teacher Ye Haotian. I will teach you the basics for one month, and then your courses will be combined with those of other classes. I will teach you for one hour every morning, and you can go to public classes or study on your own for the rest of the time. Okay, everyone introduce yourself first." The voice was low and magnetic.

After everyone introduced themselves, Ye Haotian's lecture began, and Shen Zhi sat upright.
