The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

The campus was peaceful and serene under the night sky. The streetlights cast a warm glow on the stone path. Chen Guan carried the coffin on his back and walked unhurriedly, reviewing the gathering that had just taken place in his mind.

An Changqing's appeal and organizational skills are beyond doubt. In a short period of time, he was able to gather some of the core members of the Tian Shu Class. Although it was just a superficial exchange, it was enough to show his prestige among this group.

Su Yuehe is lively and cheerful, and is a great mood-maker.

Long Ao is a lone wolf, and although his strength is unknown, he is clearly not to be underestimated.

Zhao Qingyin is aloof, Wang Hanyue is honest, Li Muxue is distant, Zhou Tong is cautious, and Sun Miao is timid...

These people have different personalities, but those who were invited by An Changqing are at least not pure troublemakers like Liu Feiyu.

In other words... it's possible to get along with someone.

Huaqing requires students to perform certain tasks regularly, in which they can earn rewards. At that time, they may need to team up with others, and these students from the Tian Shu class are naturally his potential teammates.

The system began broadcasting: "Current popularity points: 1537. It is recommended that the host consider exchanging for [Basic Meditation Introduction (White)] to prepare for tomorrow's lesson, or continue to accumulate points to exchange for more practical skills or attribute points."

"Let's save them for now." Chen Guan shook his head. The mental power course doesn't start until tomorrow, so there's no rush.

Moreover, the effects of a white-quality meditation beginner are likely limited. He needs more popularity points to exchange for more crucial items or to deal with unexpected situations.

Superpowers, attribute points... these are what he desperately needs.

Back in room 304, Chen Guan was safe and sound. After completing his routine care, he did not rest immediately, but instead picked up the book "Fundamentals of Spiritual Power and Introduction to Energy Sensing" again and began to read it by lamplight.

He must fill the theoretical gaps as soon as possible.

He didn't close the book until late at night, rubbing his temples. The theories were profound and obscure, and many concepts were quite different from what he knew in his previous life, making them difficult to understand.

Fortunately, his understanding from his two lifetimes allowed him to keep up.

Lying on his makeshift bed on the floor, Chen Guan stared at the ceiling. Tomorrow would be the first real day of school.

What will Situ Ming personally teach about the theoretical foundations of superpowers? And what will the physical training class be like, taught by the "Iron-Faced" instructor Li Yan?

And that coffin... Situ Ming seemed to have noticed something, but he didn't delve into it. Instead, he offered it some protection and his special lessons.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Chen Guan gradually drifted into a light sleep.

The next morning, Chen Guan woke up early, feeling refreshed. His stamina of 3.2, combined with the improved body control brought by [Basic Physical Skill Mastery], made him feel better than ever before.

After carefully tending to his body daily, he changed into his school uniform, carried the coffin on his back, and headed to the lecture hall of Tian Shu Building.

When he entered the classroom, there were already quite a few people inside. The twenty-odd students from Tian Shu class were all present and sitting scattered around. An Changqing and a few familiar classmates sat in the front row.

Long Ao remained in the back, while Liu Feiyu and his henchmen sat on the other side. When they saw Chen Guan enter, they rolled their eyes without any attempt to hide it.

Chen Guan found a seat slightly towards the back of the middle and placed the coffin beside him. The view from this spot was good, and it wouldn't attract too much attention. Chen Guan didn't want his life to be filled with people like Liu Feiyu causing trouble.

Soon, the school bell rang.

A deep purple figure appeared silently on the podium like a ghost; it was Situ Ming.

The classroom fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

Situ Ming calmly swept his gaze across the audience, and without wasting words, began his lecture: "Today, we will begin the first lesson of 'The Theoretical Foundations of Superpowers': What is power?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry a strange rhythm that could easily capture everyone's attention.

"Everything in the world has its own power. The growth of plants is the power of life, the burning of flames is the power of light and heat, the rushing of water is the power of motion, and the spiritual power that we superhumans sense, guide, and utilize is the most fundamental, most universal, and also the most mysterious kind of power in the world."

"Spiritual power is formless and intangible, filling the world and flowing endlessly. It is not created out of thin air, but follows deeper rules and cycles."

As Situ Ming spoke, he raised his right hand.

There was no light or special effects on his palm, but everyone could feel that the surrounding air seemed to distort slightly, and an indescribable, gentle yet vast presence spread out.

"Perceiving spiritual power is the first step for superhumans. It is not done with the eyes or the ears, but with the heart, with the spirit, with your innate yet dormant spiritual sense."

He withdrew his hand, and the strange feeling disappeared.

"The strength and nature of your spiritual perception determine the range and accuracy of your perception of spiritual power."

"Strengthening-type spiritual perception is mostly solid and introspective, elemental-type spiritual perception is mostly active and extroverted, and mental-type spiritual perception is mostly ethereal and intangible... This is the general rule, but there are exceptions."

Situ Ming's explanations were insightful yet easy to understand, combining abstract concepts with practical perceptions and case studies. He even called on several students from different departments to describe their first experience of spiritual power, and then provided comments and further insights.

When An Changqing was called upon, he described the feeling as "like warm light flowing through my limbs and bones, accompanied by a few whispers."

Situ Ming nodded slightly: "A typical characteristic of mythology is its ability to communicate with the laws of heaven and earth."

When it was Chen Guan's turn, Situ Ming's gaze fell on him: "Chen Guan, can you sense anything?"

All eyes turned to him. How would he answer the question from the special admission student, the strange man carrying a coffin who had never shown any spiritual power?

Chen Guan stood up, his expression calm.

He did try to sense it according to the methods in the book, but to no avail; the vest seemed to be truly immune to spiritual power.

"Teacher, I...did not clearly perceive it," he answered truthfully.

A low murmur arose in the classroom, and Liu Feiyu even let out a sneer.

Situ Ming showed no surprise, but simply asked, "When you carried this coffin, did you experience any special sensations while walking, sitting, or lying down?"

Chen Guan's heart stirred, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I didn't feel anything."

"Never..." Situ Ming pondered the word, his gaze falling on the black iron coffin, lost in thought: "Perhaps, your perception does not point to spiritual power."

To be honest, he was somewhat curious about Chen Guan's special ability.

He had never heard of a person without spiritual power who could carry a ten-thousand-year-old black iron coffin on his back.

However, superpowers are a private matter, and since Chen Guan didn't bring it up, Situ Ming couldn't ask him about it.

"Sit down." Situ Ming didn't explain further: "The path of perception is different for everyone. Finding your own way is the right path."
