Never seen such a lopsided performance

"Keep it up, I believe in you."

Lu Xiaobai patted Xiao Lei on the shoulder.

Xiao Lei nodded, not thinking too much about it, and changed the subject:

"Let's go, Brother Lu. It's time to go to the seventh floor for the hot springs."

"Huh? Hot springs?"

Lu Xiaobai was slightly taken aback, a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

"It's one of the perks of our elite class. We can soak in the hot springs every day after Star Martial class. Plus, it's not ordinary hot spring water, but a specially formulated medicinal liquid to relieve our fatigue. It also contains a small amount of star energy substances."

"That's a pretty good perk."

A hint of surprise appeared in Lu Xiaobai's eyes.

It seemed that most of the school's teaching resources were dedicated to cultivating the elite class. No wonder he never had any perks while staying in the regular class...

Soon,

The two arrived at the hot spring floor on the seventh level.

To Lu Xiaobai's surprise, not only were men and women separated, but even men were separated from each other. Everyone had their own private room.

"Brother Lu, I'll be right next door. Just call me if you need anything."

Xiao Lei swiped the chip in his hand, and the door in front of him automatically opened. He added:

"By the way, there's evening self-study starting at seven."

"Ah?"

Lu Xiaobai was slightly startled, surprise showing in his eyes.

"It's a feature of the elite class. We have evening self-study every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday."

"..."

Lu Xiaobai nodded, not caring too much about it.

He didn't have anything to do when he went back at night anyway, and he rarely even went to the virtual space anymore.

Now that his [Sleight of Hand] had been upgraded to level three, he had to admit that he was truly talented in this area. After all, it had been less than a month since he learned this special skill, and he had managed to level it up twice so quickly.

However, after level three, he could clearly feel that he had hit a bottleneck. If he wanted to upgrade it again, he needed the accumulation of time. This also made him less enthusiastic about going to the virtual space to practice.

At this moment,

Lu Xiaobai entered his room and immediately saw a small hot spring pool, flowing with a pale green medicinal liquid.

"Starwood Flower, Vitality Grass..."

Lu Xiaobai sniffed the medicinal liquid and instantly identified its ingredients.

He was, after all, a direct descendant of the Lu family and had mastered level-one [Basic Pharmacology]. Naturally, he understood some pharmacological knowledge. Not to mention, the medicinal liquid in front of him was extremely common and not some secret formula.

"Although it won't have much effect on me, it's not bad to take a soak."

He took off his clothes and stepped into the hot spring, immediately letting out a sound of comfort.

Ever since he came to the Ancestral Planet, he had actually rarely soaked in medicinal liquids. After all, he couldn't even absorb food, let alone this medicinal liquid. Besides, preparing this stuff was troublesome, so he simply couldn't be bothered.

"I should get something to eat..."

Following what Xiao Lei had said, he opened the school's app and ordered some food. These were all meals from the cafeteria, which were also extremely cheap, and they would be delivered by dedicated robots.

Before long,

Lu Xiaobai was soaking in the hot spring while enjoying his delicious food, looking quite relaxed and comfortable.

"The treatment in the elite class is really not bad..."

When had he ever seen anything like this in the regular class...

At seven o'clock in the evening,

The students of the elite class gathered again in the Star Martial Hall. Everyone looked radiant, clearly having regained their vitality.

"Alright, let's start sparring."

At this time, Wei Wenshi entered the Star Martial Hall.

Following his words, everyone began their one-on-one practical combat training.

Although it was called evening self-study, it was actually practical combat training. After all, this was also one of the subjects in the Star Exam...

"Xiaobai, what do you say? Do you want to continue studying theoretical knowledge, or should I arrange a sparring partner for you?"

Wei Wenshi walked up to Lu Xiaobai.

After learning about the young man's talent, his attitude toward him had been incredibly good, to the point where he even let him decide his own course content.

Lu Xiaobai thought for a moment before saying:

"Teacher, how about you teach me some basic star skills?"

"Huh?"

Wei Wenshi was slightly taken aback, then said:

"You already have a perfect score in this subject. There's no need to distract yourself by learning other star skills."

"I'll have to use them eventually, and I don't have anything else to do right now."

Lu Xiaobai had given it some thought.

He spent almost the entire day studying theoretical knowledge, and his brain was already struggling to keep up. After all, his current vitality was only at level 4. If he forced himself to study more, his efficiency would drop significantly, and it would just be a waste of time.

As for practical combat training, his own combat experience was pretty good; he could already score over 140 points.

Furthermore, there was a significant gap in vitality between him and the last-ranked student in the class, so sparring with them wouldn't serve much purpose for practice.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."

Wei Wenshi nodded, not trying to dissuade him any further.

He knew that geniuses like him had their own ideas, and forcing a study plan on them would only hinder their development.

As a teacher, all he needed to do was offer advice.

"Is the Basic Palm Technique okay?"

Lu Xiaobai blinked and asked.

"No problem."

Wei Wenshi smiled slightly, speaking with extreme confidence:

"As long as it's a basic star skill, there isn't one I don't know."

Surprise showed in Lu Xiaobai's eyes, and at the same time, he felt a bit of admiration in his heart.

Although the principal's nickname was Mr. Know-It-All,

He had to admit that the man truly deserved to be called a walking encyclopedia...

"Come on, I'll analyze it for you movement by movement. I guarantee you'll master it tonight."

The two went to the same corner as during the day and continued their lessons.

Lu Xiaobai wore a serious expression and began to study with full concentration.

The reason he chose this basic star skill was because Ancestor Lu's strongest star skill, the [Life and Death Seal], was a top-tier star skill in the palm technique category. And one of the prerequisites to learn it was a max-level [Basic Palm Technique].

He previously hadn't entertained any thoughts about Ancestor Lu's strongest star skill. After all, his aptitude was limited, and it was truly too difficult to meet the learning conditions.

But now that he had a cheat code, things were completely different!

A mere max-level [Basic Palm Technique] was nothing more than a matter of consuming a few starry sky points...

Three hours passed by in a flash.

Wei Wenshi went from being full of confidence at the beginning to gradually losing it, even doubting if he had made a mistake in his teaching.

After such a long time, the other party actually hadn't managed to master this basic star skill.

"Have you really not learned it yet?"

He frowned deeply, somewhat suspecting that the boy was intentionally messing with him.

However, Lu Xiaobai shook his head earnestly and said helplessly:

"Teacher, I really haven't learned it yet. But I have a feeling that a few more nights should do the trick."

It had to be said that Wei Wenshi's explanations were extremely detailed, even far surpassing those of star martial artists who possessed a max-level [Basic Palm Technique].

But unfortunately,

Lu Xiaobai's talent in proper star skills had always been thoroughly mediocre...

"This is really strange..."

Wei Wenshi's expression remained calm, but doubts were rising in his heart.

This guy was a genius who had maxed out the Basic Body Tempering Technique, yet he was struggling this much just to learn a [Basic Palm Technique]...

He had seen people with unbalanced talents before, but he had never seen someone whose skills were skewed to such a freakish degree...
