“Not convinced?” The vice president walked slowly towards Ji Hongbin with a smile on his face.

Lu Qianxun looked at Lan Xuanyu with a blazing gaze. Actually, his team was the only team that truly confronted Lan Xuanyu’s team.

Until this moment, he didn’t really understand what happened then. He already had the entire place under control through the Golden Lion Roar, but who was that girl who appeared through the Gate of Summoning? Also, what was that Dragon Roar that Lan Xuanyu did?

The other students were surprised and didn’t understand how Lan Xuanyu’s team became the champion but it wasn’t the case for Lu Qianxun — he had developed a fear in his heart.

Because up until this moment, the meridians in his body were still surging — it was filled with terror.

The Golden Lion meridians brought about by the Golden Lion King Martial Soul was extremely powerful. Ever since he began cultivating all these years, he had always suppressed others, it was never the other way round.

However, the truth was right there — just a Dragon Roar from Lan Xuanyu had changed the game.

“The results will be announced tomorrow. All of you may return to rest or cultivate.” The vice president waved after he saw that n.o.body was making a sound.

“Lan Xuanyu, please stay here,” Ji Hongbin said.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t know why he was held back. He actually wanted to return to the dorm very badly to test his Soul Power and see if it really increased.

Liu Feng and Qian Lei both looked at him, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

‘Champion! This is a proper counterattack!’

This was what they had been waiting for and they only had a bit of a chance because of Lan Xuanyu’s arrival. They really won and were still in disbelief, they actually defeated Lu Qianxun’s team, after all.

It was without a doubt that Lan Xuanyu was the key to that victory. Without him, Qian Lei and Liu Feng would still be at the bottom of the cla.s.s.

It was because Lan Xuanyu made the three of them work together which led to their increased strength.

The other students left and the vice president beckoned to Lan Xuanyu with a smile. “Come with me.”

Lan Xuanyu didn’t know him but it was clear that all the teachers present acknowledged him as their leader. He quickly walked towards him.

Ji Hongbin also walked next to the vice president.

“Why are you following us?” Upset, the vice president looked at him.

“To supervise, in case you corrupt the child,” Ji Hongbin replied with a rigid expression.

“Old Ji, is there something wrong with you?” The smile on his face disappeared completely in rage.

Ji Hongbin merely moved the corners of his lips, “Tsk, are you still planning to groom a devil incarnate like yourself?”

“Hng!” The vice president’s expression changed. He scoffed but he didn’t give him a reb.u.t.tal as he simply strode out.

Lan Xuanyu thought that this was a little weird.

‘What’s going on? Who is this? Why does Teacher Ji make him sound so unreliable?’

The stumpy vice president walked in front with Ji Hongbin next to him while Lan Xuanyu followed behind them obediently.

They took the lift all the way to the roof of the main teaching block of the academy. The vice president then led them into a s.p.a.cious office.

The entire office was over 200 square meters, not only were there a sofa, desk, and many bookshelves, there were also some exquisite plants around.

Today, with Soul Guidance technology, printed books had already become an extravagant ornament. It was clear that this vice president had a pa.s.sion for these things. The printed books that were kept to date could be called historic relics, they were valuable for sure.

The vice president glanced at Ji Hongbin. “Are you going to keep standing there and listen to us?”

Ji Hongbin walked straight to the sofa and sat down without answering.

The vice president placed both hands on his waist like he was about to explode but he suppressed it in the end and waved to Lan Xuanyu, saying, “Come here, chap, stand in front of me.”

Lan Xuanyu walked over obediently.

The vice president was about 1.7 meters tall and seemed to be over 100 kilograms. He had a plump figure and was slightly obese, but his little eyes were always beaming, giving one this harmless feeling.

“Tell me, how did you think through your tactics today?” The vice president asked him plainly.

“I didn’t think much about it. I just felt that n.o.body knew what would happen in the underground maze. We weren’t familiar with the maze either and had no idea when we would b.u.mp into other students. Since this is a test, the teachers would definitely make us meet and may even make it easier for us to find one another, so we might as well wait at ease for the exhausted enemy and let the other students fight it out first before we head out — this would give us a higher chance of winning,” Lan Xuanyu replied.

The vice president nodded, pleased with his answer. “Correct tactics, you’ve used your head. Not bad. Your Martial Soul can amplify Qian Lei and Liu Feng?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “Seems like it. But Teacher, I don’t know what that roar was at the last part and I only felt suppressed by the cla.s.s monitor’s lion’s roar. It felt especially uncomfortable and I called out soon after that.”

The vice president nodded and both his eyes narrowed. “This should be the natural reaction of your meridians — it was upset to be suppressed. Which means that your meridians should be even better than Lu Qianxun. Craftiness and strength are both important. I didn’t expect that the lowest ranking one would actually surprise me. Actually, strength can be nurtured later, but one’s perception is very hard to train. I like your perceptiveness, do you want to be my student?”

“Ah?” Lan Xuanyu was taken aback. He may be young but he knew what it meant to formally acknowledge someone as his master.

In the world of Soul Masters, he who teaches one for a day is a father for life. Even with such advanced technology, this tradition had not changed. A master was different from a teacher. A master not only teaches but inherits and shows care and concern for his students as well.

Lan Xuanyu turned around to look at Ji Hongbin almost instinctively but he simply sat there with an expressionless face.

“But I, I already have a master,” Lan Xuanyu said.

He really didn’t know who was this plump master in front of him! How could he become his student so recklessly?

“You have a master already teaching you Soul Skills, Ancient martial arts, and Battle skills?” The vice president raised his brows and glanced at Ji Hongbin. He was mistaken and a.s.sumed that the master whom Lan Xuanyu was referring to was him.

Ji Hongbin was expressionless, he was calm like nothing concerned him.

“Nevermind, it’s fine if you have a master. I wasn’t going to teach you Martial Soul cultivation anyway. Didn’t you apply for wars.h.i.+p piloting as your secondary profession? I can teach you that and be your master in that aspect.” The vice president smiled widely.

“Ah? You know how to pilot a wars.h.i.+p?” Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up instantly.

The vice president then said, “You don’t know that, huh. Wars.h.i.+p piloting is never a one-man show. In the wars.h.i.+p, you would have staffs and each one of them has a different role. But there must be a person to give orders and coordinate the entire wars.h.i.+p, or even a fleet. I can teach you the knowledge in this aspect; I’ll teach you how to move freely around the universe. Are you interested?”

“Yes! I have liked wars.h.i.+ps since I was little. Master, please teach me.” Lan Xuanyu nodded immediately.

The vice president smiled, he then looked at Ji Hongbin gleefully and said, “Formally acknowledge me as your master, then.”

‘Formally acknowledge you as my master?’

Lan Xuanyu also realized that he was looking at Teacher Ji so he turned to look at Ji Hongbin. Ji Hongbin wasn’t indifferent this time and nodded to him discreetly.

He wasn’t sure why but with Teacher Ji’s a.s.surance, Lan Xuanyu instinctively felt a sense of trust along with the fact that he was a child! Knowing that he could learn about something that he liked the most, he didn’t think much at that point and bowed respectfully. “Master, please take me as your disciple.”
