This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 209 - 10: The Era of Great Conflict, The 10 Major Factions
While Li Fei was in class learning Poisonology with Mo Yizhou, Li Tianyu was surrounded by a group of sisters asking:
"Is Li Fei your younger brother?"
"Did you two grow up together?"
"Is his aptitude really higher than Wang Fengqing's?"
"Why didn't he come to Wuda with you before?"
"Is he handsome?"
"What's his physique like?"
"Is he single? Has he ever been in a relationship before?"
"..."
At first, the questions were pretty normal, but later, they started to become gossipy.
"Alright, enough!"
Li Tianyu couldn't take it anymore, "What's all this nonsense! Just go ask Li Fei yourself!"
"Let's stop messing around, we need to discuss serious matters."
Just then, a woman with a dignified air, clearly a proper lady, approached.
Everyone quieted down upon seeing her.
"Club President."
Li Tianyu stood up and greeted the woman.
"Sit down to talk."
The woman sat down with Li Tianyu, "Tian Yu, I'd like you to invite your brother to join our club."
The woman, named Du Ya, was the president of the Women's Club.
The Women's Club at Wu'an University was a club comprised entirely of female students.
Other academic clubs may have been formed due to shared interests, gathering people with similar aspirations to exchange ideas and hold activities.
But the clubs in the Zhi Ge Department were different.
Over seventy percent of the tasks issued by the Task Hall were group tasks, requiring cooperation to complete.
In order to better complete tasks and earn academic points, the Zhi Ge Department gradually developed its own clubs.
The primary intention behind founding these clubs was to facilitate the completion of group tasks, enabling club members to earn more academic points.
But as they say, where there are people, there's the World, and even a place like Wu'an University is no exception.
The truly powerful clubs in the Zhi Ge Department all had connections to external forces.
Since all the tasks issued by Wuda were related to the outside world, those with more influence outside had an easier time completing tasks.
For instance, the club with the highest task completion rate and strongest capability in the Zhi Ge Department at Wuda, the Martial Arts Club, was founded by the son of the current Garrison Commander of Datong Prefecture.
With the club head's father being the Garrison Commander, wasn't it easy for members of the Martial Arts Club to complete any task within Datong Prefecture?
When Li Tianyu first entered Wuda, she joined a club—the Women's Club.
She joined the club first to better earn academic points, and second because she really admired the club's motto: "Women are no less capable than men!"
The president of the Women's Club, Du Ya, was the young lady of the Du Family, one of the three great families of Datong Prefecture City.
The Du Family's influence was mainly in the Inspection Bureau, and their contemporary family head, Du Changhe, was the Inspector General of Datong Prefecture's Inspection General Bureau!
Now, Du Ya was asking if Li Tianyu could have Li Fei join the Women's Club.
"President, isn't our club only for girls?"
Li Tianyu was taken aback.
Du Ya looked at her seriously and said, "For someone whose talent might even surpass Wang Fengqing, an exception can be made!"
"This..."
"Tian Yu, listen to me."
Du Ya held Li Tianyu's hand, "I founded the Women's Club with the initial purpose of letting the sisters stick together, enabling us to better obtain academic points and resources. But you've seen the situation at Wuda yourself, nearly all the resources are split among the top ten clubs, leaving the rest with just scraps."
Li Tianyu remained silent.
Why did Chen Lixin change so much after arriving at Wuda? It was because he realized the insignificance of the Chen Family and himself, and he witnessed the more brutal struggles for benefits.
Li Tianyu had seen these as well, but she tried her best not to let these things affect her.
There are ten major clubs in Wuda's Zhi Ge Department, namely the Martial Arts Club formed by the aristocratic youths of Datong Prefecture, the Feng Society formed by aristocratic youths of Feng Province, and the Ming Society formed by aristocratic youths of neighboring Ming Province.
The remaining seven of the top clubs were backed by the forces of the 'Seven Kings' of Datong Prefecture City.
To put it into perspective, the black and white influences of Feng Province were split into nine clubs, whereas the neighboring Ming Province all banded together to form one club, which should indicate a significant disparity.
However, situated in Datong Prefecture, about fifty percent plus of Wuda's tasks are within the prefecture, thirty percent outside in Datong Prefecture within Feng Province, leaving less than twenty percent in neighboring Ming Province.
That's why within Wuda there's a pattern where the ten major clubs stand in equal opposition.
These ten clubs are the strongest clubs in Wuda's Zhi Ge Department, with nearly all group tasks issued by the Task Hall being taken up by these clubs.
The total academic points Wuda issues each month are limited; if some get more, naturally, others get less.
And academic points mean resources; over ninety percent of Wuda's resources are monopolized by various aristocratic youths.
This is the reality of Wuda, as well as the other eleven universities.
It's the reality of this world!
Ordinary students who enter university can only join a club, trying their best to compete for a share of resources from these aristocratic youths.

If relying on individual efforts alone, even graduating smoothly would be a challenge.
Of course, if one truly has talent and capability, it's not impossible to obtain enough resources.
Wuda intentionally set up four ways to earn academic points—aside from completing tasks, the remaining three can be pursued through one's own strength.
For instance, Wang Fengqing, hailing from an "ordinary family," didn't join any clubs yet still dominated the academic points rankings at the top for over a year!
