n“If you say so.”
nDong Mingsong learned from Luo Guxue that the pet Su Ping used to kill the Magical Corpse Beast was a special skeleton. Su Ping must have extensive knowledge about undead pets. He could pass on some knowledge unavailable in textbooks.
nIt would be up to Su Ping to see how the lectures turned out to be. Dong Mingsong could not help no matter how concerned he was.
nSoon.
nAfter Feng Yanjing gave the notice, the news that a new advanced teacher was going to give lectures was spread out to all class monitors and teachers of the first year. When they logged onto the official website to look at the new advanced teacher, all of them were stunned because of how young he looked.
nSu Ping’s brief resume was presented on the website as well.
nIt was brief indeed. The introduction contained merely the name, age, and his achievements.
nThere was actually only one achievement, him killing an abnormal Magical Corpse Beast at the upper position of the eighth rank.
nThis fact alone was enough to astonish everyone.
nAll the teachers found it hard to believe that Su Ping, seemingly at the age of 18, could have killed a Magical Corpse Beast.
nNot to mention an uncommonly strong one.
nAs the initial shock faded away, the teachers grew more interested in this mysterious new teacher. They wanted to find out the truth. At the same time, they told their students about Su Ping’s lectures quickly so that they could go and widen their horizons.
nWhether the information was true or not, they could find out with their own eyes.
nSoon, this news stirred up every first-year class.
nA new advanced teacher, 18 years old, killed a Magical Corpse Beast… Those keywords were enough to catch everyone’s attention.
nThe most eye-appealing fact was his age. Of the other four advanced teachers, Qin Yuanfeng, the most powerful among them, could also slaughter a Magical Corpse Beast, and could even fight a ninth-rank beast. However, Qin Yuanfeng was over forty when Su Ping was only 18.
nIf this was the truth, then it was truly stunning!
nFor a time, students gathered to discuss this matter heatedly. Some had questions, while some grew curious and others remained shocked. However, they all wanted to see this new advanced teacher who appeared to be quite mysterious.
nClass six, year one.
nSu Lingyue was sitting by her desk, thinking about a question on the book.
nThe question read:
nMing brings a common third-rank Flame-tailed Rooster to fight against Hong’s common third-rank Marsh Crocodile at a wetland. Both battle pet warriors master the same augmentation skills.
nThe question is…
nHow many ways can Ming choose to win this fight?
nThis question eliminated the battle pet warriors’ differences. Both battle pet warriors had the same skills. This question was about the understanding and application of pet skills.
nHow many ways?
nTheoretically speaking, it was already a hard thing for the Flame-tailed Rooster to win against its enemy at a wetland. Could there be more than one way?
nHerein lay the crux of this difficult question. While lost in her thoughts, she rolled the pencil in her hand while she began to simulate the scene in her head.
nAll of a sudden, it became quite noisy around her.
nSu Lingyue was startled out of her deep thoughts. She frowned and looked around, only to see all her classmates checking their phones and discussing something in surprise. A new advanced teacher?
n18?
nSu Lingyue heard those words coming from them. She raised her eyebrows and reached for her phone as well. Suddenly, the girl next to her nudged her elbow and said in amazement, “Yueyue, check this out. We have a new advanced teacher and he’s only 18. He has already killed a Magical Corpse Beast. How awesome is that? I wonder if this is true.”
nFrom the corner of her eyes, Su Lingyue took a look. The first thing that leaped into her eyes was a profile photo; the person was her lousy brother.
nSu Lingyue was frozen by the shock.
nOut of instinct, she cast a glance at this friend of hers. When did this girl develop a crush on her mean brother?
nWow, how dare this girl target people in her family? Even a rabbit knew not to foul its own hole.
nSu Lingyue gently pinched her thigh and ground her teeth. Jiang Xingyu swiped the website as she went on, “Take a look. It says he’s only 18 and named Su Ping. Why do I think the name is familiar…”
nSu Lingyue found herself shocked again.
nThis time, she noticed the edge of the website. It looked like the official website of the academy. She grabbed Jiang Xingyu’s phone and swiped back to the beginning of the page. It was indeed the official website and the section header read ‘Advanced Teacher.’ Did Jiang Xingyu click the link of Advanced Teachers?
nShe swiped it down quickly and saw Su Ping’s introduction… Advanced teacher, Su Ping?
nShe opened her eyes wide, as if she had seen a ghost in plain daylight. That loser is an advanced teacher in the academy?
nSeriously?
nWas the official website hacked?
nNoticing how stunned she was, something sprang to Jiang Xingyu’s mind. Her jaw dropped as well. “Yueyue, isn’t he the underdog brother you told us about? Didn’t you say that he was just an unawakened, regular fellow? How… how…?”
nSu Lingyue’s mind was buzzing in chaos as well. She was unable to reply. She just felt that something must be awfully wrong, even though she knew her brother had awakened recently.
nEven so, he couldn’t have become an advanced teacher now, could he?
nKilling a Magical Corpse Beast? Impossible.
n“I have to ask Director Cheng.” Su Lingyue came back to her mind. She stood up immediately.
nJiang Xingyu also realized what had happened. This new advanced teacher that had created a sensation across the entire first year was her deskmate’s brother. Filled with astonishment and curiosity, Jiang Xingyu said in a hurry, “I’ll go with you!”
nThe two of them left the class together to seek the truth.
nAt the same time.
nMany students were gathered at a spacious battle sports ground in the zone for third years, all of them bustling with excitement. This was the free training period for their class. Many students were comparing notes and some were resting under the trees by the side.
nOutside the sports ground, two young men sat on the branches of a flourishing tree. One of them was wearing a white shirt from a famous brand. He sat on a thick branch, leaning against the trunk idly, tilting his head to look at the students on the sports field.
nThose pet fights were too juvenile and childish for him.
nGiven his strength, he was more interested in the life-and-death struggles he was going to experience at the uncultivated worlds after graduation. At the same time, he was eagerly anticipating the Elite League that was going to be held soon. He wondered which place he could attain with his abilities.
n“Young Master Ye, here you go.” A young man sitting next to him gave him some barbecued meat. This young man was sitting in a spider web knit between some branches. This spider web was more like a hammock, made by his pet.
nYe Hao accepted the barbecued meat and took some bites. All of a sudden, he was filled with strong emotions. “After I graduate, I will never have a taste of this delicious food in the academy again.”
nThe young man who offered the meat smiled. “Think about your status. Are you going to miss this kind of street snack? You can just come back and buy some.”
nYe Hao shook his head and smiled. He didn’t want to say anything. After he finished the kebab, he hurled the stick toward the tree on the opposite side; the stick was nailed to the tree just like an arrow.
nYe Hao said to the young man, “In the future when I get a chance, I will visit you in the Class C barren area.”
n“No problem. We’ll have some drinks again,” the young man replied with a smile.
nYe Hao laughed. All of a sudden, he felt his pants were buzzing. A new message had arrived. He grabbed his phone, swiped it open, and saw a private message. He opened it and the casualness on his face froze.
nHe frowned and clicked on the link.
nSoon, the link was directed to the official website, the page of Advanced Teachers.
nFive profile photos showed up. He couldn’t be more familiar with the first four. At the moment, the new photo jumped into his eyes at once. He squinted his eyes in shock.
nIt’s him?
nHe remembered this face vividly.
nHe was the so-called Mr. Su standing next to Su Yanying at the exhibition match.
nYe Hao had given Su Ping one hundred thousand coins as a down payment. He couldn’t have forgotten about this store owner.
nDidn’t he run a pet store?
nHow come he became an advanced teacher for nothing?
nYe Hao clicked on this link and saw the name, age, and achievements… He killed a Magical Corpse Beast?!!
nYe Hao was completely struck.
nThe young man next to him was surprised. “What is going on?”
nYe Hao was still absent-minded. A moment later, he came back to his senses. He threw another look at the screen and refreshed the page. Still, the information was there. Something changed on his face that made him look cloudy. He replied, “There’s a new advanced teacher in school. He is teaching today. We need to go and have a look.”
nThe young man was surprised, since he had received no news at all about the arrival of the advanced teacher.
nWhoosh.
nYe Hao jumped down from the tree and gently landed on the ground, even though the branch was seven to eight meters above the ground. Without further ado, he rushed toward the first year’s area.
nNews about the advanced teacher was spread and soon learned by the entire academy. Only teachers of the first year had been notified. However, given the astonishing nature of Su Ping’s resume, the other grades heard about it as well.
nSome students that had visited Su Ping’s store recognized him immediately. To their surprise, this was Mr. Su, whom they had met not long before.
nHow come Mr. Su became a teacher here?
nAn advanced teacher?
nWhile everyone was still in shock, Dong Mingsong had chosen the venue for Su Ping’s lecture. As soon as this information was made public, people began to gather outside the place.
nMost of the students arrived with doubts. The more suspicious the matter seemed, the more curious they were.
nAmong these queuing crowds, there were also a large number of senior students from the second and third years but were rejected due to the lecture hall’s capacity. They could only wait outside.
nThe venue was already packed half an hour before the official lecture. It was a lively full house.
nAfter all, this was the first lecture given by the new teacher; it was bound to be the center of attention. Previously, when the other advanced teachers gave their first lecture, the seats were also occupied, but never this quickly…
nThe venue could hold 10,000 people.
nThat was the fact.
nThere was a battlefield in the middle of the venue so that the teachers could demonstrate their pets for field training.
n
