Yu Yi had believed that Chen Shu's victory was due to the power of his Silver-tier skills,
but he overlooked Er Ha's [Relentless Assault] and [Illusion Clone]. One was a rare skill, the other a divine skill, neither of which could be bought with money.
These two highly compatible skills, coupled with Er Ha's naturally rapid skill release speed, were the source of such formidable combat power.
"Alas!"
Liu Feng shook his head. Yu Yi, you didn't heed a single word from your Uncle Liu...
"Alright! That's all for today's class. Everyone go back and digest it properly!"
After the practical combat lesson concluded, everyone began to disperse.
"Chen Shu, the three of you, wait a moment!"
Liu Feng called out to Chen Shu and the others, clearly having something to discuss.
...
On the path leading to the cafeteria at Huaxia Academy, the teacher and students strolled leisurely.
"Teacher Liu, thank you!!"
Chen Shu said with utmost sincerity, respect evident in his eyes. He then bowed deeply to Liu Feng.
"???"
Liu Feng did a tactical backward lean, slightly bewildered by Chen Shu's actions.
"What's gotten into you? Have you gone mad like Yu Yi?"
"I understand that my strength has conquered you, and you must want to reward me."
Chen Shu produced a piece of paper and said, "Teacher, I've already prepared it. You just need to sign it."
Liu Feng was taken aback. He instinctively took the paper and immediately saw the large characters at the top:
Will!
"???"
Liu Feng turned to look at him, his gaze profound.
Although he said nothing, an intense chill permeated the air.
Wang Jue and A Liang exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding arising within them.
Chen Pi, you are truly fearless!
A Liang asked, "Old Wang, do you feel unwell?"
Wang Jue instinctively replied, "No!"
"No? Shouldn't you feel unwell at this moment?"
A Liang blinked his eyes, heavily implying something to the other.
"I do feel a bit unwell. Should we head to the infirmary?"
"No problem!"
The two nodded slightly and immediately prepared to leave first.
"Stop!"
Liu Feng spoke calmly, "Come with me to the back mountain!"
"I need to treat Chen Shu anyway, and you two can come along."
"Teacher..."
The two wore looks of distress. They hadn't done anything!
"Teacher, I feel perfectly fine. You can just examine the two of them!"
Chen Shu also began to panic. All he wanted was for you to sign something; must you be this angry...
"Your body is fine, but your mind has serious problems. It needs treatment!"
Liu Feng glanced at the paper in his hand again and said calmly,
"You've gotten too used to being a bandit. This is Huaxia Academy! You can't just swindle anyone you please, do you think you're the principal?"
"Principal Qin~~"
Chen Shu's gaze shifted, and he immediately looked behind Liu Feng.
"???"
Liu Feng's expression froze. Could it be that coincidental?
"Ahem... Teacher Liu!"
Qin Tian happened to be behind them, a strange glint in his eyes. Is this how you tarnish my reputation?
Liu Feng let out an awkward laugh, "Qin... Brother Qin..."
"I'm calling a meeting for all teachers in the Beast Taming Department this afternoon. It seems the quality of students and teachers in the academy needs some work!"
"..."
Chen Shu and the other two couldn't help but cover their faces and chuckle. They hadn't expected Qin Tian to appear so coincidentally.
Five minutes later,
The teacher and students were still walking on the path, but the leisurely atmosphere was gone, replaced by an awkward tension.
Especially Liu Feng, his eyes had lost their sparkle.
Chen Shu said, "Teacher, I was wrong. I don't want your inheritance anymore!"
"Get lost!"
Liu Feng directly gave Chen Shu a hard rap on the head.
If it weren't for Chen Shu, he wouldn't have been caught red-handed by Qin Tian.
He would likely be used as a negative example again in the afternoon meeting.
Chen Shu rubbed his head and said in a comforting tone,
"Teacher, don't worry about it. Your reputation can't really go any lower anyway."
"..."
Liu Feng's mouth twitched, but on second thought, it seemed to hold some truth.
It wasn't the first time he'd been criticized in public...
"You brat, go to the school's mission tower tomorrow. There's a mission for you!"
"Mine?"
Chen Shu was a bit bewildered. Aren't mission towers for public missions, available for anyone to take?
But Liu Feng was currently angry and didn't offer further explanation.
He looked at Wang Jue and the other two and said,
"Also, if the two of you don't reach Black Iron tier this year, give me your home addresses by year's end!"
The two were puzzled and asked, "Why?"
"Don't you need an address to mail a cremation urn?"
"!!!"
The two shivered in unison. So that's what he meant?!
Weren't they here to study? Why was their life in danger?
With that, Liu Feng left directly, pondering how to argue his case in the afternoon meeting and shift all the blame onto Chen Shu...
Wang Jue and A Liang arrived at the school cafeteria with slumped shoulders.
"Alright, cheer up!"
Chen Shu said comfortingly, "At least you have a place to belong now!"
"..."
The two turned to look at him simultaneously, then reached out and grabbed Chen Shu's neck, shaking him vigorously.
Wang Jue said with feigned grief, "It's all your fault, you damned scoundrel! Your mind is clouded with greed, wanting to inherit Liu Feng's legacy!"
"Yeah! It's all your fault!"
A Liang also grabbed Chen Shu's neck and said, "The heir didn't even write my name! I can't stand it!"
"???"
Wang Jue turned to look at A Liang with a strange expression.
Why are your angles always so bizarrely specific?
"Alright!"
Chen Shu was getting dizzy from their shaking. If they continued, he'd have to pull out a urea bag for self-defense!
"Alas!"
The two let go of him, their spirits still somewhat low.
"I just can't understand it. How can Teacher Liu Feng, a man with a normal body temperature, say such cold words?"
"Alright, as long as you cultivate diligently, it'll be fine!"
Chen Shu said, "As long as you learn from me, you'll eventually become Black Iron tier too!"
"You? Diligent?"
Wang Jue turned to look at him and scoffed, "If slurping noodles counts as diligence, then I'm being diligent every time I'm on the toilet!"
"???"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Can't you slurp noodles on the toilet too?
A Liang also sighed to the heavens and said, "Heaven is blind!"
Chen Shu kept trying to comfort them, but the two were close to becoming resentful wives.
"Can we be a bit more positive?"
