"That concludes our discussion of the basic concepts of the tongue. In the next lesson, we will begin related tongue training. Even if you are not good at using your tongue, it will make your sense of taste more sensitive, which may save your life in a critical moment."

In addition,

Luo Di is tentatively appointed as the Biology Class representative. He will accompany me to the Academic Affairs Office later to assist with the compilation of teaching materials.

"Wu Wen, if you're interested, you can come along too. You seem to have a talent for this, and you could save me some time."

"Okay, teacher!"

Wu Wen was naturally willing, as she was skilled in physical matters, including the tongue.

Ring ring ring~ The school bell rings!

Teacher Guo suddenly walked in, holding a newly printed timetable with a completely new course schedule.

This includes Grandmother's "Handicraft Class,"

Maximus's "Philosophy Class"

Gustav's "Biology Class"

Jia Wen's "Physical Education Class"

Teacher Guo's "Chinese Language Class"

In addition, Mr. Question Mark is in charge of some recess activities, requiring students to arrive at school at seven o'clock every day for morning exercises, and occasionally organizing some recreational activities at night.

Each course is scheduled at least twice a week.

"Attention students, a group of new students will be here to register three days from now on the weekend."

The review process will involve you directly competing against the new students, and we, the teachers, will provide specific evaluations based on the results of the competition.

Those who pass will become your classmates.

In addition, this will also be considered an entrance exam, and your performance will determine your student ID, class position, and important resource allocation, etc.

So please make sure you're all in good shape these next few days, especially Luo Di and Li Beite, make sure you get some rest!

"Knew."

Upon learning that the exam would determine their future status within the organization, everyone abandoned any short-term plans and needed to prepare thoroughly.

Li Beite was the first to disappear from the classroom; he couldn't wait to get home and play games.

Luo Di and Wu Wen then followed Gustav to the administration building to conduct so-called "textbook compilation".

This building is not actually in use yet.

Even Teacher Guo, the founder of the organization, only works in the Teaching Building, and new teachers set up their workstations in the teachers' office there.

However, Mr. Question Mark has been appointed as the Dean of Academics, and he may work with Teacher Guo to gradually make changes here.

With the arrival of more and more academic staff, the school will become increasingly well-developed.

Of course, it is currently an empty building.

Luo Di followed them into the lobby of the eerie building and asked:

"Senior, is it necessary to write textbooks for this kind of learning?"

"Besides your own needs, you've taken away all our tongues, so you must have established some kind of 'Mental Network' that allows you to present what you want to show us by touching our tongues, right?"

Gustav responded, "I was just looking for an excuse to bring you two out. If people knew I was secretly tutoring students, it might cause resentment."

"Right here! You two, get ready and attack."

"Ha?"

"Originally, I only intended to give Luo Di special tutoring, but considering that you and this classmate had a verbal exchange, I'll bring them along as well."

"I imagine you two have collaborated quite a few times. Let me see what level you can achieve."

The lobby on the first floor where we were was quickly covered by tongues, isolating us from the outside world, and no one can see what is happening inside.

"We'll hit you?"

Although Luo Di guessed that Gustav had asked them not to write textbooks, he did not expect this request.

He had practiced with Li Beite all night, and his injuries were still there. In addition, the mental strain from class this morning had left him quite exhausted.

Forget fighting, even concentrating was difficult for Luo Di; all he wanted to do right now was go back to sleep.

Whoosh!

Gustav, who was standing more than ten meters away just a second ago, is now standing next to Luo Di.

The tongue in his mouth also shot out like a spear, piercing through his temples, and was about to touch his brain.

Despair!

Tongue tapping,

Danger warning!

Relying solely on his physical strength, Luo Di instantly unleashed a sideways movement, his feet leaving scorching marks on the ground, his perfectly crafted, jet-black metal left arm hanging in front of him.

His dark eyes were fixed on Gustav, who had suddenly launched a sneak attack.

Tick-tock tick-tock~

Fresh blood dripped from a small hole between his temples, just a hair's breadth away from reaching his brain.

Gustav also stared at him with his the Devil eyes, then curled his tongue into a thumbs-up, giving him extremely high praise.

"Your entire body is screaming with exhaustion, yet you manage to use the tongue I gave you to foretell danger right in front of me."

It seems you really have a talent for your tongue, or rather... you want to master my tongue.

"In that case, now is the perfect opportunity! Only by fighting me will you understand the fear of the tongue. Come!"

"Wu Wen!"

Luo Di shouted, a shout filled with emotion and trust.

Even Gustav was taken aback, thinking that the Girl might suddenly attack from the side as part of their coordinated attack. After all, during their conversation, the Girl had completely blended into the environment and disappeared.

Little did I know,

Gustav was about to be on guard, but found that the Girl did not attack. Instead, she appeared in front of Luo Di, and their eyes met.

Bass!

With a swift movement, the knife fell.

With the hilt of his Hell Hilt broken, Luo Di chopped off Wu Wen's neck with a single Hand Blade.

This strike brought his killing intent to a climax, forcibly suppressing his fatigue and entering a state of focused killing.

The ground was stained crimson.

The headless body fell heavily to the ground.

However, the Girl's head was roughly grabbed by Luo Di.

By tying her hair around her waist, the two achieved the deepest level of cooperation.

Even Gustav was seeing such a collaboration for the first time, and he exclaimed in admiration:

"Young people these days are amazing! Back in our day..."

Before the words were finished,

Whoosh!

Luo Di had already come up behind him.

Speed, body control, and physical precision have all been fundamentally improved, and the cinematic effects have been completely focused on the two characters to achieve the greatest effect.

The labels of "murderer" and "passerby" have been attached to the two individuals respectively.

The razor, derived from the metal arm, is swung down simultaneously with the Metal Bat held in the right hand.

Despair!

The crisp sound of the tongue echoed here.

This time, the sound didn't come from Luo Di's mouth, but from Gustav's.

The snapping of the tongue not only foreshadowed danger but also flicked off the label.

Boom!

The blade and the baseball bat smashed a horrifying gash into the ground.

Gustav was positioned perfectly at the edge of the opening, dodging the attack flawlessly while continuing their previous conversation:

"Back then, we didn't have young people who trusted each other like you do. Monsters mostly used each other..."

As they were talking, Luo Di attacked again, but it was just the sound of his tongue clicking.

No matter how fast the speed, how high the killing intent, or how sharp the swordsmanship, the opponent can always anticipate the danger and make a perfect dodge.

You should know,

Luo Di's constant sense of danger was nothing more than a tongue effect produced under the influence of the other party.

The Gustav before him was the source of the tongue; the so-called danger premonition was something he created, and it might even be his innate instinct.

The danger he could foresee probably extended back several minutes or hours.

Even during class this morning, he already knew that Luo Di would attack him at this time, and that it was impossible for him to hit him.

But Luo Di did not give up and continued to launch attacks.

Wu Wen inside the body did not interrupt the process, and did not utter a single unnecessary word, but simply provided Flesh Control.

She also transmits energy by touching the internal organs to ensure that the other person does not faint from exhaustion.

Gustav didn't care. He had no intention of making a move. He wanted to see what the human he had chosen would do and whether he could do something that would satisfy him.

But time passed little by little.

Luo Di, however, attacked relentlessly like a wild beast, without any flexibility or any other interesting moves.

Gustav gradually felt irritable and bored during this process.

"If that's all you're capable of, and you don't know how to break through this impasse, then you're just another genius of the same level... I shouldn't expect too much; there aren't that many true geniuses."

However,

Just as Gustav was having a brief moment of reflection,

This instantaneous change was precisely captured by Luo Di.

This time, he didn't launch an attack or pounce on his prey like a wild beast. Instead, he used Cinematic Transformation "Actor Effect" to instantly switch himself from pure wildness to ordinary human nature.

There is no danger.

Even the Hell Ash have all dispersed.

He became the first harmless human, sent to the edge of the forest by the tongue, and severely injured.

With the speed provided by Wu Wen,

Whoosh!

He placed his hand directly on Gustav's shoulder, a friendly smile following his gesture.

Because there was no aggressive intent, no killing intent, and no distinction between friend and foe.

Gustav's tongue didn't make a sound this time, which wasn't dangerous; it was just normal contact between teacher and student.

"Teacher, I have a gift for you."

The Hell Factory inside the left arm began to operate, directly constructing matter within Gustav's body.
