“Really!?” Guan Yang had an expression of pleasant surprise. As a student who hadn't even reached Tier 2, he was naturally delighted to be praised by a Tier 7 big shot!
“Of course, would I lie to you?” Lu Chenxing’s words were true; Bai Yuntian had indeed praised Guan Yang greatly just now.
And after learning that Guan Yang was Lu Chenxing's disciple, he was greatly surprised, even directly asking: “You, a mage, are mentoring a believer?”
Then, with Lu Chenxing’s speechless expression, he brought out his set of theories about “academy-style being better than wild-style,” implying that he wanted to find a professor to give Guan Yang individual lessons.
Lu Chenxing did not refuse this, because the purpose of him saying Guan Yang was his disciple was precisely this!
Just as Bai Yuntian said, he couldn't teach Guan Yang anything more, so it was better to let a professor teach him.
Although Guan Yang had said before that he didn't need him to teach anything, since he called him 'Master,' he couldn't just do nothing. Following an experienced pioneer would always help him avoid some detours.
“Principal Bai said that your talent is very good, so he is preparing to find a professor to guide you. Remember to learn well from the professor!” Lu Chenxing said this good news with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yang was silent for a moment, then finally said in a deep voice, “Thank you, Master.”
Earlier, he had seen his Master and the Principal sitting together, talking occasionally. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, he could tell that their relationship was very close.
He was sure that Principal Bai being able to find a professor to tutor him individually must have been due to Lu Chenxing!
Otherwise, in Super Martial University, there were countless talented individuals, so why would he receive special tutoring?
“It’s nothing. Since you call me Master, then I have to act like one!” Lu Chenxing smiled. The feeling of being thanked by his disciple was quite good.
The two chatted for a moment, and Lu Chenxing said to Guan Yang, “I got you a military Yanyue Saber. Remember to pick it up at the shop this afternoon.”
He had just watched Guan Yang's battle, and the weapon was condensed from his ability. Although its power was not weak, it consumed a lot and was only suitable for emergencies, not for long-term use.
“Thank you, Master!” Guan Yang’s nose tingled, and his eyes even turned a little red! But he could only express his gratitude now; there was nothing else he could do! This made him feel a little ashamed!
He had originally acknowledged Lu Chenxing as his Master simply to repay his kindness of rebirth, with no other intentions, because Lu Chenxing's strength wasn't high. He had thought that they, as master and disciple, could grow together, then conquer the Zhu Tian Battlefield together, and their relationship could be both master and friend!
But he never expected that just by calling him 'Master,' Lu Chenxing would truly take on the responsibilities of a Master, even though he was two years younger than him!
Imparting knowledge, finding him a teacher, getting him a weapon—this was more than many true masters and disciples did!
Seeing his appearance, Lu Chenxing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then gestured with his chin behind him, “Hurry up, Principal Bai is waiting for you there!”
Guan Yang looked back and saw Bai Yuntian smiling and nodding at him at the entrance of the gymnasium. He rubbed his eyes haphazardly and said to Lu Chenxing, “Then, Master, I’ll go over now!”
“Mm, go!”
Looking at his eldest disciple, a smile couldn't help but appear on Lu Chenxing's face, feeling somewhat like watching his own child succeed. Although Guan Yang seemed to be two years older than him, he had lived two lives, so his actual age couldn't be calculated that way.
Lu Chenxing, in a good mood, hummed a tune as he walked towards his Card Shop, completely unaware that a gray shadow flashed past from the nearby green belt.
Upon seeing Lu Chenxing, Plague Lord's eyes immediately turned red, but it also knew it couldn't act here. The teachers hadn't all left yet; if it acted now, it would undoubtedly fail! And it only had one attack left, so it had to be extra careful!
Currently, it looked like an ordinary large rat with no energy fluctuations, but its last bit of power was hidden within its body. After self-detonation, it could unleash a full-power attack equivalent to a Tier 3 peak!
It had originally come to see if Lu Chenxing was dead or not, but now it seemed it would have to act itself!
Just then, a voice suddenly appeared in its mind. The wisp of mental energy left by Phantom Demon spoke again, “Plague, I truly didn't expect you to be able to sneak into the city.”
“Phantom Demon!” Hearing this voice, Plague Lord immediately exploded, “Didn't you say you could definitely stall Bai Yuntian?! How was Kuangxue killed by Bai Yuntian as soon as he came out?!”
Even across the stadium, it could feel that chilling sword intent. The way of the sword cultivator was unparalleled in attack. Don't look at Bai Yuntian being Tier 7 now; even a Tier 8 Strange Beast wouldn't fare well against him!
“Hmph! I've said it before, your plan is too complicated. The more interconnected a plan is, the more factors can interfere with it, and the more likely it is to go wrong, but you wouldn't believe it!” Phantom Demon was also furious. This time, not only did they fail to kill the person, but it was also severely injured across realms by that Tier 7 “Crystal Martial War God” of the Human Race Military Department—a complete loss!
“My plan has problems? Heh heh, just a loser’s clumsy excuse!” Plague Lord sneered. It didn't think there was anything wrong with its plan. Every other part of the plan was executed perfectly; only Phantom Demon’s part had a huge problem!
What did this mean? It meant Phantom Demon was incompetent! It wasn't that its plan had a problem!
“You...” Phantom Demon was so angry it couldn't speak. It didn't understand why Plague Lord was so stupid! It simply couldn't listen to others!
“Less nonsense! Why are you looking for me? I don’t believe you’re here to refund my payment!” Plague Lord felt sick when it thought of the payment it had given, almost one-fifth of its family fortune, but the plan had still failed! So its tone towards Phantom Demon was even worse!
“Bai Yuntian used this kid to ambush me. Isn't he trying to protect him? I'm going to kill him anyway! I want to see what kind of expression he'll have after this kid dies!” Phantom Demon said coldly.
“Oh? How will you do it? All the people you controlled are dead, right? What else can you do?” Plague Lord sneered inwardly. All the Strange Beast and humans knew that you, Phantom Demon, were a coward; you even had your divine envoys collect payments!
Kill someone? With what will you kill? Do you dare to come over?
“Less nonsense, I have my own way! You find an opportunity to attack that kid, and I will strike simultaneously!” Phantom Demon no longer wanted to say anything more to this idiot and spoke in a commanding tone.
“Hmph! I would do it even without you telling me!” Plague Lord saw that Phantom Demon's goal was the same as its own, so it said no more and scurried into the bushes in front of Lu Chenxing's Card Shop, waiting there.
A moment later, Lu Chenxing, humming a tune, walked towards his Card Shop.
