Chapter 629 - 576: Comparing People
The scorching sun blazed, and the heat was suffocating.
In the inner city by the river, the intense and humid air made even Moh Baichun, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, feel cramped and uncomfortable, somewhat vexed.
After a six-day rest, he had to come out to teach, and Moh Baichun truly couldn’t muster any enthusiasm.
Walking into the Preaching Court, standing outside his lecture hall, Moh Baichun didn’t even dare to extend his Divine Sense to check the situation inside.
"Keep calm, keep calm, maybe there’s still a chance..."
Moh Baichun comforted himself, pushed open the door, stepped into the lecture hall, and looked down, instantly getting agitated, kicking over a flower stand in front of him, and swearing.
In the vast lecture hall below, not a person could be seen, only bizarrely shaped wooden Armors placed on tables, staring blankly at the lectern with their colorful big eyes.
At the front, a large-eyed Armor even ’thoughtfully’ held up a sign reading,
[Attending Elder Wangshu’s Rune Class, thinking of Elder Wuchen’s Armor Making Class]
"This class can’t be taught!!"
Bang!
Moh Baichun slammed the lecture hall door shut and walked out, hands on hips, clenching his teeth in anger.
Bang!
Another door slam was heard, as Tie Wanjiang, the Great Elder from the Armor Making Institute, came out angrily, while Master Sanshui from the Mechanism Institute next door did this peacefully, quietly closing his door as he came out.
The three exchanged glances, and Tie Wanjiang shouted.
"Next time Jiang Wangshu teaches, don’t schedule my class. All the disciples go to her class, and I’m left teaching a void!"
Master Sanshui sighed helplessly, "True Monarch Wangshu teaches thirty days a month, at least two classes a day, there’s no time when she’s not teaching."
Moh Baichun shouted angrily, "Who came up with the idea of substituting classes with Armors? I haven’t seen a live student in three months, is my class really that bad? It’s simply absurd!"
Master Sanshui forced a smile, "The kids sending Armors to class is a sign of their eagerness to learn, showing they don’t want to miss Elder Moh’s class, but it seems True Monarch Wangshu’s classes are more interesting."
Moh Baichun rolled up his sleeves, he had tolerated this for three months already, "I have to go see what’s so interesting about that girl’s Rune Class that makes these kids so unable to resist."
"Isn’t she conducting an Artifact Refining Class right now?" Tie Wanjiang asked, puzzled.
Master Sanshui continued with a wry smile, "It’s both a Rune Class and an Artifact Refining Class, she uses two clones to teach simultaneously, her real body should be with Cicada Spirit True Monarch discussing Yin Yang Family methods."
Moh Baichun: ......
Tie Wanjiang: ......
Seeing the two’s dark expressions, Master Sanshui chuckled, shaking his sleeves, "Esteemed elders, the Artifact Refining Class is right at the back, shall we go together?"
"Let’s go then!"
Moh Baichun stormed off in anger, Tie Wanjiang hesitated for a moment, touched his nose and quietly followed.
Walking through the corridor passing through the cave door, in the small square between the two Preaching Courts, a group of Inner Sect Qi Cultivation disciples was surrounding two Armors battling in the center.
In the past, when encountering such daily Armor battles, the disciples would watch the fun while chatting, but recently, the atmosphere was different.
Moh Baichun stood beside and saw each disciple holding a book, muttering and reciting, occasionally glancing at the two battling figures.
Beside them someone was flipping pages, each one like a competitive rooster unwilling to lose, flipping pages rapidly, determined to read faster and recite more than others.
Moh Baichun felt a headache, who started this trend of bad behavior?
She used to like the academic atmosphere of the Zhuge Family, but now she didn’t like it at all, especially seeing these kids so diligent and hardworking, it reminded her of her childhood.
Without these conditions, and without such diligence, these kids now have such high starting points, isn’t it inevitable for them to easily surpass her in the future?
Moh Baichun, uncontrollably, thought again of Jiang Yuebai at six and seven years old, now turned into True Monarch Wangshu.
The cicadas on the trees were noisily chirping, Moh Baichun’s head buzzed, her Divine Soul felt dizzy.
No, no, she really couldn’t be lazy like this anymore, otherwise, she’d be constantly washed away by the endless waves of younger generations.
Glancing at Tie Wanjiang beside her, his complexion also poor, Moh Baichun finally felt slightly balanced.
As for Master Sanshui, that guy was like a Buddhist Sect disciple, slow and non-competitive, at this moment smiling while watching the two in the field.
"Senior Sister Jiuyou is mighty!"
Amid enthusiastic cheers, Moh Baichun’s Divine Sense penetrated the surrounding crowd, seeing a young girl with white gauze over her eyes, a blue lark atop her head, sitting cross-legged on the ground, reading a book using the lark’s eyes.
The giant ape Armor with two fists larger than its head in front of her had already smashed the Spider Armor assembled opposite her.
Due to Jiang Yuebai, more and more disciples recently studied these Spider Armors, though useful, they weren’t very effective against Bai Jiuyou’s Armor, which relied on overwhelming strength to crush multiple techniques.
Seeing Bai Jiuyou, Moh Baichun’s eye twitched for no reason, feeling this little girl resembled Jiang Yuebai.
If it weren’t for the low probability, and Jiang Yuebai denying it, she’d seriously suspect Bai Jiuyou is Jiang Yuebai’s clone.
However, Jiang Yuebai already holds the identity of Chenzhou Demon Head, couldn’t possibly concoct another child identity, Outer Body Incarnation requires Refining Void Stage to refine.
These two have both appeared simultaneously, and Bai Jiuyou is truly flesh and blood, not Armor.
This Bai Jiuyou has recently been making waves too, becoming an Inner Sect disciple within twenty-one days from apprentice, reaching the first rank on the Qi Cultivation Stage battle list within thirty days.
She never missed a class on Armors, completing assignments on time, achieving full scores in every subject.
Daily Armor battle tasks never lost a match, accumulating credits faster than any Zhuge Family record.
Just three months since entering the Inner Sect, she had already completed all Qi Cultivation Stage Armor Master courses, passed the Low-Level Armor Master assessment, started studying Foundation Establishment Stage courses, and registered for the Mid Level Armor Master assessment half a year later.
Had the Zhuge Family not prohibited private tutoring, requiring all elders to treat their disciples impartially, Bai Jiuyou would have been fought over fiercely.
"Senior Sister Jiuyou, four years from now at the Nine Rivers Dragon Group Gathering, Senior Sister Jiuyou will certainly take the lead!"
"It’ll be no challenge for Senior Sister Jiuyou."
"Indeed, even beyond Nine Rivers Realm, in the entire Tianshi Star Alliance, there’s no figure as impressive as Senior Sister Jiuyou."
Bai Jiuyou put her book away to leave, but was surrounded by a group of Qi Cultivation disciples, flattering words abounding.
Bai Jiuyou’s little face showed no expression, knowing what they wanted, she directly pulled out three Jade Scrolls from her bosom.
"True Monarch Wangshu’s class notes, containing the key points for the month-end assessment, only these three copies, highest bidder wins."
With the presentation of the Jade Scrolls, the surrounding people became like sharks seeing blood, scrambling to bid, even though Bai Jiuyou had said yesterday there’d be only three copies...
True Monarch Wangshu’s monthly assessments were the hardest in the entire Inner Sect, aside from Bai Jiuyou obtaining full marks once, others struggled to even pass.
Yet, True Monarch Wangshu’s monthly assessments included not just credit rewards, but a complete set of her handcrafted Armors and a one-on-one tutorial session.
Not to mention Qi Cultivation Foundation Establishment disciples, even Golden Core Masters were tempted.
Seeing this scene, Moh Baichun felt a sour ache in her heart, turning her head, she found similar suppressed jealousy in Tie Wanjiang’s eyes.
Both being teaching elders, why was Jiang Yuebai so popular?
Exchanging a look with each other, both filled with dissatisfaction, they followed Master Sanshui to find Jiang Yuebai, determined to see what kind of class she was actually teaching!
