Chapter 30: The Beginning of Campus Life
"Since you have become my disciples, please accept these as a token of our introductory gift."
As Mu Chen spoke, two items appeared in his hands: two novel soul-guided communicators and two small storage soul-guided devices.
"My contact number is in the communicator. The storage soul tool contains some basic cultivation resources and metal materials, which will be useful to you at this stage. Remember to come to the association on your days off each week, and I will personally guide you."
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Yu Chen and Tang Wulin accepted the gifts, which felt quite heavy. After binding themselves together, they briefly examined the contents of the storage space and found them to be practical and of good quality, just as Mu Chen had described, clearly prepared with care.
After finishing the important matters, Yu Chen felt the time was right and said, "Teacher, I have another matter to discuss."
He took out five pieces of metal and placed them on the table. The metal pieces were not large, but they had a solid luster and fine texture, and it was clear at a glance that they were not ordinary items.
"Two pieces of Thousand-Refined Silver, one piece of Cloud Iron, and two pieces of Tungsten Steel," Yu Chen explained. "These were forged from metals I saved up over time. I heard the association buys these kinds of metals; I wonder if I could ask you, Teacher, to take a look and maybe get some subsidies in return?"
Mu Chen's gaze swept over the metal pieces, and he picked them up one by one, examining them briefly before understanding their contents.
"Good quality, well-finished." He put down the metal and gave a quote, "According to the association's standards, it's one million Federal Credits in total. Cash or contribution points?"
This price is fair. Yu Chen immediately said, "Cash, thank you, Teacher."
Mu Chen nodded, took out a black card, manipulated it briefly, and handed it to Yu Chen: "Keep it safe."
Yu Chen took the card and put it away, feeling reassured.
"If you have any similar finished products in the future, as long as they meet the standards, you can bring them over," Mu Chen added, providing a stable channel. "That's all for today. Go back and cultivate diligently, and don't forget to come over every week."
"Yes, teacher!"
Leaving the association, Tang Wulin was still excited: "Brother Chen, the teacher is so generous!"
Yu Chen nodded and touched the card in his pocket. With this money and his new teacher, Mu Chen, his days in Donghai City finally had a solid start.
……
The next day, after a tedious and boring opening ceremony, the class assignments began. As expected, Yu Chen, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Zhou Changxi were all assigned to Class 5, the worst class.
However, Class 5 is not without its merits; at least their homeroom teacher is a handsome guy.
Looking at the figure walking towards them, apart from Yu Chen, all the other students in Class 5 had expressions of shock in their eyes.
The reason is simple: this teacher's figure and demeanor are simply too eye-catching.
He was over 1.9 meters tall, slender, wearing a white suit, with bright eyes and a high nose bridge, making him look very handsome.
Behind him was a man with long blue hair, radiating a cold aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Yu Chen knew that this was Wu Changkong, who had the title of "cold and aloof male god" and was also a fallen genius from Shrek Academy!
"Follow me!"
Wu Changkong didn't say much to the students' surprised or admiring looks. He simply left a sentence and led the students to Class 5 classroom.
"My name is Wu Changkong, and I will be your teacher for the next six years!"
"Regardless of your talents, over the next six years, I will make you the strongest among your peers, and that will be your goal for the next six years!"
"Now, let's introduce ourselves!"
Looking at the students who had already taken their seats, Wu Changkong's tone was calm, but his arrogance was undeniable, instantly attracting the attention of all the students.
"Zhou Changxi, Martial Soul: Hercules Ape, Soul Power Level 11..."
"Tang Wulin, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Soul Power Level 11..."
"Yu Chen, Martial Soul: Golden Eyes, Soul Power Level 18..."
......
One by one, the trainees introduced themselves.
"Not bad, the foundation is much better than I expected!"
"Classes will officially begin tomorrow!"
"My teaching style is different from other teachers, so please be prepared!"
"If you're afraid of hardship and fatigue, transfer schools or change classes as soon as possible, so as not to hold everyone back!"
"get out of class dismissed!"
Without much explanation, Wu Changkong left with a brief remark, while the students still in the classroom began to discuss among themselves.
"Brother Chen, I have a feeling this dance teacher is a bit unusual!"
Tang Wulin leaned closer to Yu Chen and whispered.
"Indeed, it seems joining Class Five wasn't all bad for us!"
Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Yu Chen smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder.
......
Before we knew it, it was the next day, early morning.
Wu Changkong led the group to the playground.
"Today is the first lesson. You'll work in pairs to practice and let me see your skills!"
Dividing the students into two groups, Wu Changkong clapped his hands and announced the course content.
Faced with Wu Changkong's arrangement, the students began to discuss it, and some even questioned it directly.
"Hmph, on the battlefield, the enemy won't let you off just because you're a support-type Soul Master instead of a battle-type Soul Master!"
"The battle that follows has no rules, no limits on the methods used. It begins with your group!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Changkong pointed to Tang Wulin and Zhou Changxi, who were in the first group.
The ensuing battle was, naturally, a crushing defeat.
Relying on the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him, Tang Wulin won with a swift and decisive victory. However, his performance did not earn him praise from Wu Changkong.
On the contrary, Wu Changkong questioned Tang Wulin, asking why he did not go all out and use his martial soul, but only relied on brute force to win.
After listening to Wu Changkong's words, Tang Wulin nodded as if he understood.
And then, battle after battle continued.
After rounds of battles, soon only Yu Chen, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin remained on the playground.
"In the fourth round, Tang Wulin will face Xie Xie, and the winner will face Yu Chen."
As Wu Changkong spoke, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie arrived at the central area, and the battle began.
Although Tang Wulin had the advantage in strength and had a record of beating Xie Xie yesterday, the reason was ultimately that Xie Xie was too careless. In this battle, Xie Xie did not hold back at all and went all out from the very beginning.
Facing Tang Wulin again, Xie Xie went all out, unleashing his greatest advantage—speed. Tang Wulin was unable to cope and was quickly defeated.
Finally, it was Yu Chen and Xie Xie's turn to fight.
"Round 4, Match 2, Yu Chen vs. Chang Kong."
"What?" Tang Wulin exclaimed in shock.
Wu Changkong glanced at him coldly: "You think there will be injustice in my class? Yu Chen will take my attack, and then fight Xie Xie normally."
"Okay," Yu Chen replied readily, his gaze calm.
"I won't unleash my martial spirit; you only need to take one of my sword strikes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Changkong stepped into the arena, a simple wooden sword now in his hand. With a light step of his left foot, the wooden sword flashed like a cold star, aiming straight for Yu Chen's chest.
"So fast!" Xie Xie's pupils shrank on the sidelines, realizing that he could not possibly avoid it.
"Word of Power: Time Zero".
