N-A-A Chapter 44 is about the teacher.
Chapter 44 is about the teacher.
In May, two major events shook Aolai.
First, all the demon hunters were mobilized and captured three genius teenagers from three mountain strongholds, but in the end, because the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Star Moon Sect vouched for them, none of them passed the Soul Searching Mirror.
The three teenagers joined the Heavenly Class, and the three mountain strongholds pledged allegiance to Xingyue Sect, making Xingyue Sect's southward journey much smoother.
Before everyone could recover from the shock, on May 2nd, just after the three mountain strongholds had surrendered, Huaguo Mountain suddenly announced that the Aolai Demon Extermination Group was disbanded. Six of the seven members returned to the Nine Heavens Inspection Department, leaving only Fang Yingyue to join the academy, but retaining her identity in the Inspection Department!
The entire city of Aolai was in an uproar.
Even the most foolish person could see that the exorcists were putting on a show with the Star Moon Sect before they left!
"This is blatant corruption! They're so shameless! How are we supposed to get anything done?!"
The Sushanfang office was pelted with countless rotten eggs and tomatoes. The old manager and several staff members locked themselves in their rooms and drank alone, not daring to go out for a full two weeks.
Immediately afterwards, Xingyue Sect announced that it would donate a superior-grade Illusionary Abode to Aolai Academy for the three students to use in rotation, and would also provide 300 million to cover all their expenses during their time at the academy.
According to the latest price list from Tian Gong Fang, a superior-grade Illusionary Residence is priced at 90 million!
Xingyue gave away 93 million in one go—almost half a year's income for all the more than 10,000 cultivators in Aolai!
Upon hearing this news, many cultivators from Aolai were so envious that they questioned their own existence—questioning the meaning of their lives and what they were busy with all year round.
Of course, many Aolai cultivators were also cursing in resentment—back then, Xingyue probably took 100 of the 9000 million from Aolai, using Aolai's money to bribe the people of Aolai, and yet many people from Aolai still knelt down to lick their boots. It was incredibly frustrating and humiliating!
The most miserable are the students who were already in the top class—if they had known they would get this treatment a few days later, everyone would have wanted it!
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the class, Yue Class of the Tianzi Class organized three competitions: divination, cultivation of the four arts, and martial arts.
The three newcomers all won the competition, especially Chen Xuanbiao. In the one-on-one arena, none of the original students from the Heavenly Class could withstand three moves from him. He defeated everyone in a flash, which convinced everyone and finally calmed down the controversy.
Meanwhile, a new announcement from the Heavenly Court regarding the "Great Wilderness Migration" was posted in all the markets. The people of Aolai, knowing they had little hope, did not react much, but outside of Aolai, and throughout the entire Heavenly Realm, it caused a huge uproar.
The announcement revealed the competition rules for next year's Illusionary Realm Tournament:
First, the trial will be decided by points, which can be obtained by completing tasks and killing monsters.
Second, the 300 migration permits originally intended for Group A participants have been changed to 3 initial points.
Third, the trials are conducted in teams. Individuals can apply to join a guild when they reach 50 points, guilds can apply to join a clan when they reach 500 points, and clans can apply to join a sect when they reach 5 million points.
Fourth, team points are allocated by the team itself, and individuals who accumulate 10 points or more can obtain the corresponding title.
Individually, none of these four rules are problematic. Similar rules have been common in previous years' Illusion Battles. It's just that the rewards this time are exceptionally high, with a particularly large number of titles.
But all things considered, the "Group A" candidates have a huge advantage.
You can apply for a guild with 50,000 points, while Group A members start with 30,000 points, which is like starting 60 meters ahead in a 100-meter race. With such an advantage, how can Group B compete with them?
Was the Great Wilderness not struck by a demonic calamity?
Didn't they say that there are still ghosts and beasts roaming around, and that they are often seen causing disturbances?
Martial arts practitioners must lead the fight against external demons, so why is Group B so unpopular?
Upon the announcement, the eligible literary cultivators were overjoyed, but all the martial cultivators were filled with resentment.
Regardless of the era, martial arts practitioners have always made up the majority.
Immediately, all sorts of messages flew to the Heavenly Palace like snowflakes, inquiring, blaming, and appealing...
But the Heavenly Court completely ignored it.
Only Venus issued a decree, reiterating the importance of this migration and solemnly announcing that, in order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of this migration, the Illusionary Realm would be closed from this day forward and would begin simulating the Great Wilderness World; and all the examiners for the subjects would also be imprisoned within the Illusionary Realm to prevent the exam questions from being leaked.
"Bah! All exorcists are openly greedy, how can they be fair?"
In front of the academy's bulletin board, Feng Xiangguo spat at the posted official gazette and walked away with a few people, their arms around each other's shoulders.
The courier who had just finished posting the official gazette hadn't left yet when he glanced at Feng Xiangguo with surprise. One of the clerks accompanying him gave an awkward laugh: "A bunch of trash, just ignore them. Where are you resting tonight?"
The courier thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any vacant rooms at the Demon Exorcism Institute?"
"No way, that place is too good; it was all sold out a few days ago. Why don't you rest at the Water Curtain Cave instead?"
"Alright, let's see where Sun Wukong lives." The postman nodded and rode his ironwood eagle, following the officer straight towards the Water Curtain Cave.
Cai Fei, who was standing not far away, heard everything clearly and seemed to be deep in thought.
A while ago, Zhu specifically appeared in a dream to warn that the "divination" exam would be very difficult, and then the Heavenly Court issued this announcement that defied all reason.
What exactly happened in the Great Wilderness that made the Heavenly Court so fond of Wenxiu?
The tasks before me are now even more arduous.
If the points are awarded based on the team, it would be difficult to obtain even 1000 migration permits if you can't bring a few people with you.
The good news is that the exorcist has indeed completely left, and he can finally get down to business. The announcement of his departure has been made some days ago, and he has been holding back to avoid repeating Chen Xuanbiao's mistake.
The first thing to do is to manage the classroom.
This time, the teacher is in charge—the next class is Fang Yingyue's divination lesson.
As it turns out, Fang Yingyue is a very vengeful person.
She was already perfunctory in teaching the Earth Class, but after that phrase "the dog of the Star Moon Gate," the Earth Class was completely neglected.
Her recent habit is to throw out a question as soon as she enters the room. If someone can solve it within ten minutes, she continues; if no one can solve it, she leaves—until someone solves it, and then the class monitor goes to ask her to come back.
In fact, no one has been able to solve a single problem so far, so much so that the recent divination classes have all become self-study sessions!
Today was no exception. As the ninth bell rang, Teacher Fang landed precisely on the morning study area, flicked his wrist, and pulled a hanging board from his magic bag. On it was written a question:
The six sides of a die are constructed using the five elements' spiritual energy. If two adjacent sides have different spiritual energy, how can this be achieved?
"Those who can solve it, come forward and write it down. I just taught the 'Heaven' class, and the fastest person there took half a cup of tea's time. I'm not trying to provoke you, but your class has no chance. Forget half a cup of tea, you won't even get half a day. But that's how it is being a teacher. Even knowing it's a waste of time, we still have to come and stand here. It's really tiring..."
Actually, this woman was quite pretty—though not tall, her proportions were perfect, especially her waist, which was so slender that even her very upright posture exuded a graceful sway…
Unfortunately, this mouth of hers is both mean and venomous!
