Worldwide Class Change: Minimal Effort, Maximum Reward!

Morning sunlight slowly filtered through the window of Lin Yi’s dorm room.

A faint golden glow spread across the wooden floor as the first rays of daylight crept into the quiet room. Outside, the academy grounds were unusually lively. Even from several floors up, Lin Yi could hear the distant noise of excited students gathering near the combat arena.

Today was the Jianghe Hunter Academy Tournament.

Yet inside the dormitory room, the atmosphere remained calm.

Lin Yi lay on his bed with one arm resting behind his head, staring quietly at the ceiling. The soft rustling of leaves outside the window mixed with distant voices drifting through the campus.

Unlike many students who had woken up early to prepare nervously, Lin Yi looked completely relaxed.

"Today’s the tournament..." he murmured.

But instead of thinking about his opponents, his thoughts drifted somewhere else entirely.

His mind slowly recalled the information he had learned since arriving in this world.

Compared to Blue Star, this world’s structure revolved around one thing.

Power.

And that power determined the fate of humanity.

Lin Yi’s gaze shifted slightly toward the window as he began sorting through the knowledge in his mind.

In this world, Humanity had long abandoned the idea of ordinary cities.

Instead, civilization survived inside enormous fortress settlements built to withstand endless monster invasions.

These were known simply as Cities.

Every city was surrounded by towering defensive walls reinforced with special alloy materials and magical technology. These walls were designed to resist monster hordes that occasionally surged out of the wilderness.

Lin Yi remembered the first time he saw the outer walls of Jianghe City.

They were at least eighty meters tall.

From a distance, the massive gray walls looked like a mountain range surrounding the entire city.

Inside those walls lived nearly six million people.

Jianghe City wasn’t considered particularly powerful.

In fact, according to the world’s classification, it belonged to the lowest tier.

Frontier Cities.

These cities were located near dangerous wilderness zones and served as the first line of defense against monster expansion.

Their resources were limited.

Their hunters were still developing.

But they played a critical role in protecting humanity.

Lin Yi slowly sat up on the bed.

Frontier Cities like Jianghe typically controlled several beginner wilderness sectors, areas where low-level monsters appeared frequently.

Those zones were where academy students trained and hunters gathered resources.

Above Frontier Cities were much stronger urban centers.

Regional Cities.

These cities had stronger economies, better infrastructure, and significantly more powerful hunters.

They often controlled multiple Frontier Cities and served as military command hubs.

Beyond those were the giants of human civilization.

Metropolitan Cities.

These were massive mega-cities containing millions upon millions of residents.

They possessed elite academies, advanced technology, and powerful hunter guild headquarters.

Some of the most famous hunters in the world lived in those cities.

And at the very top of the hierarchy...

Were the legendary Central Capital Cities.

Those cities represented the absolute peak of human strength.

They were guarded by the strongest hunters on the planet and served as strategic command centers in the war against monsters and dimensional rifts.

Lin Yi exhaled slowly.

In the grand scheme of the world...

Jianghe City was just a small starting point.

His gaze drifted toward the academy arena visible in the distance.

If he wanted to reach the top, this tournament would only be the first step.

Lin Yi leaned back against the wall and continued organizing his thoughts.

Human civilization had another important structure.

Academies.

Every city established academies to train awakened individuals.

These academies existed because most humans awakened their abilities at a young age.

Without proper training, awakened powers could easily become dangerous.

Or useless.

Jianghe Hunter Academy was considered a standard City Academy.

Its purpose was to train young awakened students and prepare them for real combat.

But beyond this academy existed a much larger system.

Academies themselves had rankings.

The next level after city academies were Regional Elite Academies.

These schools accepted only the most talented students from multiple cities.

Competition there was extremely intense.

Graduates of those academies often became high-ranking hunters or military officers.

Beyond that level were the National Hunter Academies.

These institutions trained the best fighters in the entire country.

Students who reached those academies were considered elite talents.

But even those schools were not the final step.

At the very top were the mysterious War Academies.

Those academies trained hunters who fought in the most dangerous battlefields on Earth.

Dimensional rifts.

Monster catastrophes.

Large-scale invasion zones.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Sounds troublesome."

He could already imagine the endless competitions waiting at every level.

Still...

His lips curved into a faint smile.

Troublesome things often came with great rewards.

Lin Yi stretched slightly before standing up from the bed.

Another major power structure existed outside the academy system.

Hunter Guilds.

Unlike academies, guilds were professional organizations.

They were responsible for organizing nearly all human combat operations outside city walls.

Monster hunting.

Dungeon raids.

Escort missions.

Resource gathering.

Everything passed through the Hunter Guild Network.

Lin Yi remembered seeing the massive Hunter Guild Hall located near the center of Jianghe City.

The building was nearly as large as a stadium.

Hunters constantly entered and exited the building while accepting missions from the central system.

Once students graduated from academies, many of them joined guilds to begin their careers.

The strongest hunters eventually rose through the guild hierarchy and gained immense influence.

Some even became National Guardians, legendary figures responsible for defending entire regions.

Lin Yi walked toward the window and looked down at the academy grounds.

Students were already flooding toward the arena entrance.

Today’s tournament might seem like a simple school event.

But in reality...

It was the first battlefield for future hunters.

At that moment—

Lin Yi’s phone suddenly buzzed on the desk.

He picked it up.

A new message appeared on FabBook.

Wang Hao.

Lin Yi already had a bad feeling.

He opened the message.

A massive wall of text immediately filled the screen.

.

.

Wang Hao: Brother Lin!!! This humble one greets the future champion of Jianghe Academy!!!

Lin Yi sighed, and scrolled down.

Wang Hao: Listen carefully to my words because what I am about to say concerns the most important matter of my entire life. You know about the Heiress of the Tang Clan, right???

Tang Yue!!!

The girl who just transferred into the academy yesterday!!!

The one with the A-Rank Class: Radiant Spirit Archer!!!

Brother Lin...

THIS IS MY DESTINY!!!

Lin Yi rubbed his forehead, and typed a reply.

Lin Yi: You’ve lost your mind.

Wang Hao: Brother Lin!!!

How can you say such heartless words!!!

You already have Su Qinghan, the cold Goddess of Jianghe Academy!!!

Naturally you cannot understand the suffering of a lonely man like me!!!

This humble brother also needs a beauty!!!

Tang Yue is perfect!!!

Not only is she beautiful like a celestial maiden, she is also the only daughter of the Tang Clan, one of Jianghe City’s most powerful families!!!

If I can win her heart...

My life will ascend to heaven!!!

Lin Yi stared at the message for a few seconds, and then he replied.

Lin Yi: Let me understand this clearly.

You. A C-rank Scout, wants to pursue an A-rank Radiant Spirit Archer, who is also the heiress of a powerful clan.

Wang Hao: When you put it like that...

It sounds slightly difficult.

Lin Yi: Slightly?

Wang Hao: Brother Lin!!! Have some faith in me!!!

History has proven that true love can overcome all obstacles!!!

Perhaps she will see my sincerity!!!

Perhaps she will admire my bravery!!!

Perhaps she will say:

"Oh brave warrior Wang Hao, your courage has moved my heart!"

Lin Yi: Perhaps she will call the city guards.

Wang Hao: Brother Lin...

Why are you always so realistic?

But Fine!!!

Then I will first defeat a few opponents in the tournament!!!

Once I prove my strength...

I will confess!!!

Lin Yi smiled faintly as he put the phone down.

Outside the window, the academy arena gates opened.

And with that, Thousands of students gathered, awaiting the start of the tournament.
