Chapter 1273: Chapter 1244: The New Teacher’s Opening Display of Power
After arriving at the Academy of Paradise, Li Chen’s life gradually returned to tranquility.
Without any messy affairs entangling him and without numerous enemies lurking around, Li Chen felt incredibly relaxed.
Of course, Li Chen’s relaxation was mainly because he knew that once he left, those enemies would give up targeting the people around him due to losing their target.
Besides, even if they wanted to target them now, they probably couldn’t.
With the protection of Wenxing, plus he used a Realm Breaking Pill as a cost to pull over the Hongmeng Pavilion as a deterrent.
Anyone looking to make a move against the Palace of the Nether King or those around him would first have to weigh their own abilities, right?
Perhaps when Lieu Zhanxiao and Feng Yizhu were around, Li Chen might still be a bit worried.
But to Li Chen’s surprise, it is very likely that Lieu Zhanxiao has also come to the minor world.
Although before entering the minor world, Li Chen did not clearly see whether Lieu Zhanxiao had followed.
However, while inside the light gate, Li Chen clearly heard Lieu Zhanxiao’s voice.
If Lieu Zhanxiao also accompanied him to the minor world, then there’s really nothing to worry about back in the Main World.
What Li Chen did not expect was that the old dean Wang Qiu was still an impatient fellow.
On the second day of his arrival at the Academy of Paradise, he chose a class for Li Chen, making him a guidance teacher.
In the Academy of Paradise, a guidance teacher is roughly equivalent to a homeroom teacher in a regular school in the Main World.
What amused Li Chen was that the class he was teaching as a guidance teacher was precisely the class where Li Weisi and others were.
“The old man did this on purpose, didn’t he?” Li Chen looked at the somewhat noisy classroom, smiled wryly, and walked in.
The Academy of Paradise is so large that it’s almost exaggerated.
And the classrooms are also quite spacious.
There are about fifty to sixty people in the class, each chatting in different corners of the classroom. Some looked relaxed, while others had heard that a new teacher was coming today and were full of curiosity.
But most were more interested in what the new teacher would be like.
Only Li Weisi and others were internally excited but forced a calm facade, sitting seriously and straight, which left the people beside them quite surprised.
It had to be said that Li Chen’s appearance disappointed quite a few people.
Indeed, the students had imagined many kinds of teachers, but they never expected their new teacher to be someone wrapped in bandages and leaning on a crutch, seemingly disabled.
Teaching for the first time, Li Chen also felt a bit strange. He stepped up to the podium, looked at the students below, coughed, and then began to speak: “It seems my appearance has disappointed you. I’m really sorry for that.”
Saying this, Li Chen pointed at his own face and said with a smile: “Actually, before I was bandaged up, I was quite handsome. But you might have to wait a few days to see my handsomeness.”
A group of students laughed, suddenly finding this new teacher somewhat interesting.
Generally, a new teacher would introduce themselves first or play some power games.
But it seemed this teacher, who appeared to be quite injured, had no such intention.
“My name is Li Chen. If all goes as expected, I’ll be your guidance teacher for some time. So I hope everyone can get along harmoniously and have a good time,” Li Chen said with a smile.
“Wait!” A voice unexpectedly sounded in the classroom.
Li Chen swiftly withdrew his smile. In truth, he did not know how to be a teacher, as he had never taught students before. However, he felt in his heart that teaching and nurturing should mean getting along well with students.
But since this is the minor world, he was still exploring how to communicate with his students.
A male student stood up, looking at Li Chen with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
“If you are to be our guidance teacher, you should show your strength, right? Otherwise, how can you prove that you can teach us? The Academy of Paradise is the best in Black Stone City. We also want to be students this academy can be proud of. But without good teachers, how can we become excellent?”
As the male student spoke, his eyes looked at Li Chen filled with doubt.
Evidently, he did not trust this new teacher, injured and unseen before.
“Prove?” Li Chen tilted his head slightly, then nodded: “You are right. As a teacher, one must prove they are capable.”
Li Chen pondered for a moment and said: “I am a teacher. My job is to teach you, so I won’t make a move against you. How about this… Li Weisi!”
“Here!” Li Weisi stood up excitedly.
Seeing Li Weisi’s excitement, the other students couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.
“The strongest in your class should be this student, right?” Li Chen pointed to a quiet male student not far from him.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the students appeared surprised.
The student Li Chen pointed to was indeed the strongest in the class, but in terms of cultivation alone, he was not the highest. However, how did Li Chen know he was the strongest?
“This student… Oh, is it Lin Lang? Lin Lang, please come out,” Li Chen said as he looked at the roster in his hand.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Lin Lang, though reluctant, still walked out.
“Li Weisi, spar with Lin Lang,” Li Chen said flatly.
“No way? He wants Li Weisi to fight Lin Lang? Li Weisi couldn’t last ten rounds against Lin Lang before!”
“Exactly, isn’t this clearly bullying Li Weisi?”
However, hearing this, Li Chen merely chuckled softly and leaned against a table, casually saying to Li Weisi: “Use what I taught you. If you can’t win within ten moves, don’t call yourself my student.”
“What, winning against Lin Lang in ten moves? That would work with someone else!”
“Wait, he just said he taught Li Weisi. Could this new teacher have been Li Weisi’s private tutor before?”
The classroom had a special area for sparring. Quickly, Lin Lang and Li Weisi stood facing each other.
“Winning me in ten moves? Arrogant!” Lin Lang, though not fond of talking, had his thoughts. Although he and Li Weisi were both of Mid-Yellow Rank cultivation, in actual combat, he was leagues ahead of Li Weisi. Numerous previous tests had already proven this result.
But this new teacher instructed Li Weisi to win against him in ten moves—what arrogance!
Perhaps it would work if he stepped in himself.
Lin Lang, unlike other students, had genuinely experienced life-and-death battles. From Li Chen, he detected a very subtle, yet chillingly murderous intent.
But if it were Li Weisi…
Lin Lang chuckled to himself.
