Chapter 490: Master Long
Chapter 490: Master Long
The old man was wearing a plain robe with wide sleeves, and his gray hair was combed meticulously. He held a ruler and walked up to the podium step by step.
quiet!
The classroom with only two people suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
Dragon Demon Taoist!
Seeing the old man walking towards him step by step, Li Yuan froze in place, like a bird being stared at by a dragon, not daring to move at all.
'Fuck, I can't move!'
Li Yuan was sweating coldly, he really couldn't move, as if he was tied to his seat, like a student respectfully waiting for his teacher.
The problem was, he was in the first row, less than five feet away from the Supreme Grandmaster...
"This old man..."
In the farthest corner, Han Chuijun's eyelids were twitching wildly. The spiritual sense he had acquired from countless life-and-death experiences told him that the person in front of him was extremely dangerous.
But he couldn't move, so he could only let his arms hang down, bend his waist, and lower his head in great respect.
"Is this the big secret?"
Li Yuan was a little confused. The pressure brought to him by this old man was unimaginable, even though he didn't seem to have any martial arts skills.
"Um?!"
When Li Yuan was thinking, he suddenly heard a sound behind him. He wanted to turn around, but he keenly realized that something was wrong. He held back and just glanced at it.
This glance made his heart skip a beat again.
There were nine rows of seats in the empty classroom, which could accommodate a hundred people. He was in the first row, and Lao Han was on the far right of the ninth row.
At this moment, behind him, three or four rows apart, there was a flash of light, and two figures with doubtful faces appeared. He recognized these two people.
He was covered in green armor, tall and with long arms, it was Chi Zhuiyang.
The other person, wearing a golden dragon robe, was the head of the Jingping Division.
"Why are these two here? Are they here to knock on my door?"
Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart. The two men were only two meters away from him, and he couldn't even move.
If a fight breaks out, he won't have time to escape.
'No, these two can't move either!'
While Li Yuan's thoughts were spinning frantically, behind him, Chi Zhuiyang and Jingping Sizhu had already let out muffled groans, and it was obvious that their attempts to break free had failed.
"It's you?"
Suddenly arriving here, Chi Zhuiyang looked around subconsciously and saw Han Chuijun in the corner. His eyes turned cold and he just raised his hand when he felt a flash before his eyes.
An old man with white hair and beard stood in front of him with a sullen face.
"Being late is forgivable, but disrupting the classroom and being hostile to classmates are unforgivable!"
The old man glanced at the two people who came later and said, "Stretch out your hand."
"what?"
Chi Zhuiyang and the other man were still a little dazed, but they soon realized something was wrong because they were unable to leave their seats and stretched out their hands uncontrollably.
"Snapped!"
The ruler fell.
Li Yuan first heard a crisp sound, and then, a shocked, angry and shrill scream exploded behind him.
"what!"
Chi Zhuiyang's eyes instantly became bloodshot after being hit on the palm of his hand, almost popping out of his sockets. His physique and battle-hardened mentality could not withstand it at all.
It was a tragic sight, as if he had been split in half from head to toe. No, even his soul had been shattered.
"Does being hit on the palm hurt so much?!"
Li Yuan glanced over and saw Old Han in the corner stunned. He was a top master with such a strong character, how could he not be able to withstand it?
"you?!"
Seeing Chi Zhuiyang howling like this after being hit, Jingping Sizhu's face changed drastically. He tried his best to take back his hand, but how could he move it at all?
With a 'snap' sound, the ruler fell.
This time, there was no screaming, but Li Yuan clearly saw that the body of the Jingping Division Master was shaking violently, like a cloud that was blown away by the wind and forcibly bound.
With just one blow, the great master's spirit was almost shattered.
"It hurts me too!"
Chi Zhuiyang's face turned blue and his whole body was shaking. He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, sweating profusely.
He stared at the ruler that was about to fall, fear flashing in his eyes: "No..."
"Snapped!"
"what!!"
"Snapped!"
"..."
"Snapped!"
There were ten crisp sounds and five screams.
Under the horrified gaze of Li Yuan and the other man, the second person on the list of heroes of the time was beaten and screamed in pain. After the last blow, he collapsed on the table.
The head of the Jingping Division didn't say a word, but his entire body shrunk by more than half and was no taller than the table.
Half of the spirit was destroyed!
"..."
After hitting his palms ten times, Li Yuan looked at the old teacher walking slowly back to the lecture hall. He was sweating profusely and his clothes on the back were soaked.
He didn't want to try the blow on the palm that even a grandmaster couldn't withstand.
"It seems like the seats for these two people have been moved back a row?"
This was due to Li Yuan's keen observation. After all, there were only four of them in the class, so it was obvious.
"Dragon Demon Taoist, Dragon Demon Taoist!"
The two men who were beaten to the point of exhaustion were now filled with shock, anger and aggrieved. Chi Zhuiyang was breathing out more than breathing in, but he dared not say a word.
‘That’s not good. ’
In the corner, Han Chuijun's attention was focused on Chi Zhuiyang and the other person.
If you judge others by yourself, and your ugly behavior is seen by others, killing them to silence them is the only option. Will these two people be exceptions?
"We have to find a way to kill these two!"
Han Chuijun bowed his head and saluted, his mind turning. This would of course be impossible in the outside world, but it was impossible here.
If he gets hit a few more times with this ruler, I think the master will really be killed.
"We have to kill these two!"
Li Yuan lowered his head and didn't look at the old man. His mind was racing, but he didn't dare to move until he understood the rules of this place.
"Yesterday, I talked about the 'Theory of Changing Shapes'."
At the lecture hall, the old man spoke in a calm voice, but everyone who heard it was tense.
"Who among you will repeat it?"
Hearing the question and feeling the gaze, both Jingping Sizhu and Chi Zhuiyang's faces turned pale. In the corner, Han Chuijun thought to himself, "Oh no! This might be directed at him?"
"You come."
Under Li Yuan's worried gaze, Han Chuijun was called.
"Change shape..."
Han Chuijun was shocked but not panicked. He happened to be reading the handwriting of Taoist Dragon Demon during this period. He was reading the Theory of Changing Shapes before entering the tower, so he was not panicked.
"…Those who change their physical form imitate the spirits of heaven and earth and change their physical essence and bones."
Listening to Lao Han's voice behind him, Li Yuan was really nervous. God knows what the Dragon Demon Taoist said yesterday.
"Imitate the beasts, imitate the heaven and earth, and use the infinite heaven and earth to change the limited human body..."
Han Chuijun methodically explained what he knew about the contents of the Dragon Demon's handwriting.
“Not satisfactory.”
Han Chuijun couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard these words, while Chi Zhuiyang and the others just watched coldly and analyzed the rules here.
“It’s a slight improvement compared to the past.”
The old man changed the subject and seemed to be very tolerant of the students in the last row.
Woo~
At this moment, Li Yuan noticed that Lao Han's seat had moved forward one row.
The head of the Jingping Division was only seven feet tall when he stood on a stool. He thought for a moment and compared the situations of several people. He had already guessed the rules of this place.
"Advance is a reward, retreat is a punishment... So, if you want to obtain the inheritance of the Dragon Demon Taoist..."
Chi Zhuiyang also noticed this, but he turned his attention to Li Yuan who was sitting in the first row:
"Who is this person and why is he sitting in the first row?"
Everyone in the classroom was thinking, but soon, everyone became alert again. The old teacher glanced at them and seemed to be asking questions again.
"Are the seats arranged by talent? Or by the number of shapeshifters? What are the benefits of being at the front? What if I move further up?"
Feeling the old man's gaze, Li Yuan hurriedly collected his thoughts, but the gaze passed by him and fell on Chi Zhuiyang.
"it's me?"
Chi Zhuiyang's heart skipped a beat.
"How was your review of yesterday's lessons?"
"..."
Hearing the question, Chi Zhuiyang felt a chill in his heart. God knows what homework you left for him.
"me……"
Feeling the pitying gazes of the others, Chi Zhuiyang was thinking frantically, but the next moment, he saw the ruler.
"Advance is gratifying, retreat is shameful!"
The old man scolded with a stern face: "You deserve a beating!"
Chi Zhuiyang almost bit his teeth off, but he could only reach out his hand involuntarily, and then the ruler fell.
With a "crunch", Chi Zhuiyang bit his teeth and broke them. The severe pain that penetrated deep into his soul made his eyes go black and he couldn't help but scream.
After another five hits, Chi Zhuiyang's breath dropped drastically, and his seat had fallen to the sixth row, only two rows away from Han Chuijun.
……
Woohoo~
Amid the smoke of incense, Qin Shixian watched intently. Various lights and shadows intertwined in front of her, and it was the brightly lit school.
"If you hit the palm of his hand three more times, Chi Zhuiyang will surely die."
Listening to the screams coming from the light and shadow, Qin Shixian felt quite happy physically and mentally, but when he saw the ruler, he couldn't help feeling a lingering fear.
She had been hit on the palm of her hand once before. After that one time, she had never been hit again in all these years. That kind of severe pain...
She shuddered just thinking about it.
"Who is this person?"
At this time, Qin Yun's voice was heard. Amidst the incense, he opened his eyes and pointed at Han Chuijun.
"This person is Han Chuijun."
Qin Shixian replied: "The master that Li Yuan worshipped in the Divine Weapon Valley had good talent and understanding, so he should have changed his form to Hundred Two."
"He's a bit older, but he can still be used."
Qin Yun nodded, and his eyes fell on Li Yuan: "This kid seems to be a rare talent at first glance, but he can sit in the first row..."
"I'm afraid he really has some special physique as you said."
Qin Shixian had been puzzled for a while. She had only been to this school once, but she still knew a lot about the rules.
If you want to sit in the front row, you must have at least extraordinary talent!
“It’s hard to tell with the naked eye.”
Qin Yun frowned slightly.
Although he did not summon Li Yuan, the fact that he was in the Bafang Tower was no different from being face to face with him. He looked at him several times but did not detect any special physique.
But he was naturally aware of the importance of being in the first row. Without extraordinary talent, there was no way he could even think about it.
"Maybe it's some kind of physical condition that has never appeared before?"
Qin Shixian's attention was obviously not here. She was very concerned about this school:
"If he is praised by the Grandmaster for his position, will he really be able to inherit the Grandmaster's legacy?"
"Perhaps, but the higher the seat, the harder it is to get the Grandmaster's reward..."
Qin Yun said this and suddenly stopped talking.
In the school, after the old teacher finished asking questions, he began to lecture.
……
tick~
The sound of sweat beads falling to the ground made Li Yuan's heart tremble.
This was the most terrifying class he had ever taken. Before the class even started, he was already sweating profusely.
But in comparison, he was very lucky. He did not get a turn to be asked questions several times, and the question was passed around among the other three people. Lao Han was asked once and luckily passed.
Chi Zhuiyang and the other person were questioned twice each, and including the beating they received when they came in, they were beaten three times in total. Their seats were moved from the third or fourth row to the sixth or seventh row.
The Chief of Jingping Division was reduced from a height of more than seven feet to less than two feet. He could not even stand on a chair and had to stand on the table.
Even from a distance, Li Yuan could feel the wrath of this great master.
"Old man!"
On the table, the figure of the Jingping Division Master was blurry and he was so angry that he couldn't keep his balance.
With his status and position, how could he have ever suffered such a great humiliation?
But at this moment, he didn't dare to show it at all, and he had to bow his head to show his respect. He felt so aggrieved that he almost exploded.
"Today, let's talk about the eight directions of heaven and earth."
At the lecture hall, the old master spoke in a deep voice: "Students, listen first and then ask. I, the old man, will teach first and then ask. I hope you will understand."
Everyone in the hall was shocked and focused.
"The ancients said that the sky is like a dome, covering all directions and encompassing everything. However, there are many conjectures in this. The sky is not a dome. There is also a sky outside the sky..."
The old man began to tell the story.
His voice was not loud, but very clear, and with every word he uttered, a stream of true energy rose up, and various scenes emerged along with his words.
"Qi transforms into form, and the divine realm."
Li Yuan saw it very clearly. He could even see the colors of the true energy flashing around the old man. All the colors converged like the light of a mysterious weapon.
His narration was not profound and easy to understand, but with the help of the innate Qi transformation, it was not obscure and difficult to understand. The people who listened attentively felt relieved.
But soon, the expressions of several people changed.
The eight directions of heaven and earth were just the beginning. After that, people started to talk about changing the shape of heaven and earth and imitating the shape of nature. Later, it extended to ancient history.
At this point, Li Yuan also felt something was wrong.
This old scholar started his lecture from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and went all the way forward to the Great Promise, the Great Deed, the Great Righteousness, the Great Trust... Finally, he talked about ten thousand years ago.
There were so many allusions, unofficial histories, origins of various martial arts, magic weapons, names of people that even Li Yuan, who had to change the control combination and strengthen his spirit, felt a bit overwhelmed.
"Not good..."
Except for Li Yuan, everyone else looked bitter.
Warriors have strong blood and abundant energy, and their memory is relatively better than that of ordinary people, but even a grandmaster cannot withstand this.
I don’t know how much time had passed, Li Yuan was a little drowsy, and the voice from the lecture hall just stopped.
"…Your Majesty, if you want to offer sacrifices to the Eight Directions Temple, the whole country should participate in the event, and my Imperial College is no exception. After the end of this class, I will select one person from among the students to go with me to watch the sacrifice."
At this point, the old man paused slightly.
Everyone in the hall felt nervous. Obviously, they had to ask questions before the class ended.
"Um……"
As the old man pondered, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Feeling his wandering gaze, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
"it's me again?"
Chi Zhuiyang felt a chill in his heart, as if he had fallen into an ice storage.
At the lecture hall, Taoist Dragon Demon asked:
"The sixth emperor of the Dayi Dynasty lived among the common people when he was young. By chance, he saw a broken stele left after a fire in an ancient tomb somewhere...
What is written on that monument?
