Fang Xin just scanned those comments.
He didn't take them to heart at all.
With Zhuge Heng, Hua Cheng, and Shang Tianque taking the lead, Fang Xin wasn't afraid in the slightest.
What's more, with Old Master Ye, the one behind the Ninth Division, Fang Xin was even less afraid.
When he sent Jiang Xiaocha back, Jiang Xiaocha's eyes were still red. To comfort Jiang Xiaocha, Fang Xin showed her Zhuge Heng's message.
Only then did Jiang Xiaocha breathe a sigh of relief.
As he returned to his dorm and went upstairs, he happened to run into Knock-off Underwear Bro Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang brushed past Fang Xin.
As he passed Fang Xin, Zhang Qiang chuckled, "I originally wanted to compete with you in the mid-term exam, but now it seems whether you can even live until the mid-term exam is another matter."
Fang Xin glanced indifferently at Zhang Qiang, "If you keep barking like a brainless villain, don't even talk about living until the mid-term exam; you might not even live through tonight!"
Zhang Qiang sensed the aura emanating from Fang Xin.
His hair stood on end. He had personally experienced life-and-death struggles during previous beheading operations, and he could clearly feel that in that instant, Fang Xin's presence was identical to those he had seen before, whose hands were stained with much blood.
Zhang Qiang swallowed, not daring to linger, fearing that Fang Xin would send him off before Young Master Yang could sanction him. He quickly ran downstairs.
Fang Xin returned to his dorm and had just sat down when Shi Tailang, Bai Yulin, Shen Yu, Zhang Yaozu, and Li Bao'er walked in from outside.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Tailang chuckled, "Xin Ge, we all just called home. If that grandson Young Master Yang dares to let his family come trouble you, our families will also help out! Especially my dad, I'm his only son. If he dares not help, I'll smash my two 'Happy Beans' and make him lose the joy of being a grandfather!"
Fang Xin smiled at his words, feeling an inexplicable touch of emotion. "Thank you, everyone!"
Shi Tailang thumped his chest, making a loud sound. "We're all comrades in the same team. When there's trouble, we support each other. This is perfectly normal. We are your backing!"
Fang Xin stood up, and the group all opened their arms and embraced.
"I won't say any cheesy words. We'll see each other in action from now on!"
"Okay, Xin Ge!"
After seeing them off, Fang Xin sat back down.
The scene of Young Master Yang and his cronies kept replaying in his mind.
Although Zhuge Heng, Hua Cheng, and Shang Tianque had all explicitly stated they would help Fang Xin, Fang Xin knew very well that it was because of his strong talent, sufficient strength, and promising future.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to improve his strength.
Fang Xin flipped his hand, holding a small spatial orb, which contained the gift the Old Palace Master of the Myriad Longevity Palace had given him.
With a flick of his finger, the spatial orb shattered.
The bear it contained appeared before Fang Xin.
The huge white bear fiercely pounded its chest with its paws. Fang Xin immediately released his True Dragon aura.
The white bear immediately stopped being ferocious; instead, it looked very docile, lowering its head and moving closer to Fang Xin.
Fang Xin placed his hand on it.
This large white bear was named Exploding Flame Bear. Its talents were Fire Attribute Talent and Berserk Talent. During battle, its entire body would be covered in flames, and the lower its health, the higher its combat power.
Currently, it was at the peak of Fourth Stage combat power.
Fang Xin signed a contract with the large white bear.
The large white bear affectionately rubbed against Fang Xin's palm.
As the contract was signed, a hint of crimson flashed in the large white bear's eyes.
Fang Xin was stunned. He hadn't activated his Slaughter Talent, but when he signed the contract just now, this large white bear was also endowed with a simplified version of the Slaughter Talent.
He stroked the large white bear's soft fur.
With the large white bear, Fang Xin also gained a combat helper.
Next, he had to find ways to improve his strength.
He must increase his own value; as long as his abilities were strong enough, he would receive enough protection!
The simplest way to improve strength was through slaughter!
But slaughter within Sky Shield Academy was a fantasy. The simplest method was to take on some missions.
The next day arrived in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Bai Yulin knocked on the door.
"Xin Ge, this morning is Extinction Master's class. Don't sleep; we need to get to the classroom five minutes early to grab back seats. If we're late, we'll only be able to sit in the front row!"
Fang Xin, who had been practicing the Golden Bell Shield early in the morning, opened his eyes.
He changed his shoes and opened the door. "Let's go!"
Bai Yulin at the door had an expression like he was about to go to battle. Shi Tailang, with a toothbrush in his mouth, leaned against the door, gloating, "Farewell, you two. I will remember you!"
Zhang Yaozu and Li Bao'er returned after breakfast and heard that Bai Yulin and Fang Xin were going to Extinction Master's class.
Zhang Meiqiu'er made a cross on his chest, then clasped his hands together. "Amitabha, I respectfully send off you two brave benefactors who are about to ascend to the Western Paradise! The Lord will bless you. Amen!"
Bai Yulin unhappily flicked Zhang Meiqiu'er's forehead, saying weakly, "Get out, get out!"
On the way to the classroom, Bai Yulin handed Fang Xin a small wooden token.
"What is this?"
Bai Yulin stuffed the small wooden token into Fang Xin's hand. "I got a blessed wooden token from a senior with Witchcraft System Talent. Holding this thing can greatly reduce the risk of being called upon by Extinction Master to answer questions. You know, if Extinction Master calls your name and you can't answer, then you can forget about having an easy semester!"
Fang Xin toyed with the small wooden token, then casually put it in his pocket. Recalling how he met Sun Bijun yesterday, she was indeed a bit fierce at their first meeting, but the second time he saw her, she was somewhat gentle. "Instructor Sun is quite terrifying, but she should also have a gentle side!"
Bai Yulin turned his head to look at Fang Xin. "Xin Ge, what's wrong with you? Are you stimulated? Extinction Master having a gentle side? If Extinction Master could be gentle, sows could climb trees!"
The two talked as they entered the classroom.
Upon entering, they saw the huge lecture hall, with the first three rows completely empty. Everyone was concentrated behind the third row, and those who arrived early had taken all the back seats, leaving latecomers to sit in the front rows.
It was quite a spectacle, unique in the entire Sky Shield Academy.
As the saying goes, 'a man's name, a tree's shadow,' Old Woman Sun's reputation truly was terrifying.
As a top figure in Sky Shield, Fang Xin's appearance immediately drew much attention.
"Holy crap? Isn't that Fang Xin? Why is he also taking this class?"
"How many talents does this big brother have, anyway?"
"I heard he awakened five, and the worst one seems to be an S-rank Mental Talent!"
"Oh my goodness, comparing people really makes you angry!"
"What's the use of a few talents? He provoked Young Master Yang; he's just waiting to die!"
"Why does he look so calm, like nothing happened?"
"Is he supposed to cry in public? He's definitely faking it. When Young Master Yang's family comes for him, we'll see him wet his pants!"
"I asked Young Master Yang; the earliest is this afternoon, the latest is tomorrow morning! His uncle is sending people to trouble Fang Xin!"
"I can't wait to see Fang Xin get taught a lesson!"
"Are you sick? Why are you so eager for Fang Xin to get taught a lesson?"
"Sorry, the gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out. Who told him to be so flashy? And those who bragged about good entrance exam scores all supported him. Now, seeing him just makes me angry! I wish he'd be beaten to tears by Young Master Yang's family!"
While the discussions were buzzing below, a figure walked in through the classroom door.
Wearing square-rimmed glasses and a hooked sweater.
As soon as she entered, the entire classroom instantly fell silent.
Old Woman Sun walked to the podium and took out the roll call book from the briefcase hanging on her arm.
"Close the front and back doors, roll call!"
The students sitting near the front and back immediately went to close the doors.
All the students sat upright, not daring to breathe loudly. The oppressive feeling this Old Lady brought was simply too strong.
Old Woman Sun called out names one after another.
When Fang Xin's name was called, Fang Xin raised his hand to answer.
Old Woman Sun looked up in Fang Xin's direction, her tone softened. "Don't sit so far back. Come sit in the first row!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the students in the classroom focused on Fang Xin.
Bai Yulin lowered his head. "Damn! The small wooden token didn't work?"
Other students whispered amongst themselves, causing a very low buzzing sound of discussion throughout the classroom.
"Why did she call him?"
"Because he got good scores in the entrance assessment, of course!"
"Don't be silly. In front of Extinction Master, she doesn't care about your entrance assessment scores. This Old Lady hates students who don't follow rules the most. Regardless of whether you're in the right or wrong, as long as you fight on campus, she hates it. Fang Xin beat Young Master Yang yesterday, so if she doesn't target Fang Xin, who will she target?"
"Haha, Fang Xin is screwed!"
"Fang Xin is completely finished now. He won't even have to wait for Young Master Yang to sanction him; Extinction Master has already made her move!"
Fang Xin stood up.
He hadn't expected this Old Lady to play such a trick on him again. Fang Xin was still somewhat uneasy; although the Old Lady's tone was much better when she came out of the administration building yesterday, her past record was verifiable, and it would be false not to feel a little apprehensive.
In the entire first three rows, only Fang Xin was there.
Fang Xin was just about to sit down when the Old Lady's gaze was gentle, like an elder looking at an outstanding junior, and she said to Fang Xin in a very soft tone, "Some things about Mental Talent are still quite difficult. You sit in the front, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime!"
