The Wang Family Tournament

"Put the things back and get ready for breakfast."

"Brother Ling Yuan."

"Go have breakfast."

"Oh."

Ling Yue gave a meek and agreeing answer, and walked upstairs with a mix of happiness and sadness.

The noise attracted other people as well.

After breakfast, Ling Yue obediently recounted to everyone what had happened the previous afternoon.

"The Eagle Country really hasn't changed its ways," Wang Ming said unhappily.

First they encouraged the Nordic countries, and now they're resorting to underhanded tactics?

"The main reason is that it wasn't completely destroyed. In the Eagle Country, the Flame Nation threat' theory is commonplace," Ling Yuan said.

As he spoke, Ling Yuan looked at Ling Yue and said, "I already understand the situation. You don't need to worry about Hermes."

"You can stay here, eat and drink as you please, and don't worry about anything else."

"Good."

After Ling Yue agreed, a while later...

The group went to class in a large, unannounced procession, just like always.

Upon arriving at the classroom, I habitually sat at the back.

There's no other reason than that there's a window here that overlooks the playground.

"Ling Yuan, why do I feel like they're all watching us?"

As Ling Yuan stared blankly at the playground, Xiao Shi suddenly spoke.

"Perhaps it's because you're beautiful."

"Ah, I'm serious."

Ring ring!

Just then, the school bell rang.

The students quickly returned to their seats.

At the same time, a dark figure slowly entered the classroom.

He slowly placed the book he was holding on the table, revealing a warm and gentle gaze.

"So handsome."

"I think this is a chemistry class, right? Is it really okay for the chemistry teacher to be this handsome?"

"..."

The students began to whisper among themselves.

Ling Yue had just taken out her textbook, froze when she saw the man's face, and the textbook fell to the ground.

The man in the black suit smiled slightly, "Hello everyone, my name is Hermes, and from today onwards, I will be your chemistry teacher."

"..."

For a moment, the entire classroom fell into an eerie silence.

Ling Yue felt ice-cold all over, her eyes filled with fear.

Ling Yuan watched Hermes with great interest, wondering what tricks he was up to this time.

Chapter 503 The Wang Family Competition

"Hermes? Did I hear that right? Hermes, one of the twelve Olympus Twelve Main Gods, is coming here to be our chemistry teacher?!"

The students were dumbfounded.

Nobody believed it was true.

"Students, don't be nervous. I am not here to interact with you as a god, but as a teacher," Hermes said with a light laugh.

Even so, everyone was inevitably a little nervous.

Hermes a famously old coin in the world. How could the school allow such a dangerous person to teach?

"Alright, we've wasted enough time. Please open your books. If you have any questions, you can ask me after class."

All the students hurriedly opened their textbooks without the slightest hesitation.

"Brother Ling Yuan, I'm sorry, I led him to the school," Ling Yue said softly.

Ling Yuan flicked his finger silently at Ling Yue's head.

"Ouch~"

Looking at Ling Yue touching her forehead, Ling Yuan said calmly, "I think you should have some self-awareness."

"You don't have that much charm."

Ling Yue was stunned.

You're such a great mentor to me; your focus is always so strange.

"..."

The class went fairly smoothly.

Gods certainly have a wealth of knowledge, especially a god like Hermes who loves to acquire knowledge.

Although the students were somewhat reserved, it did not affect the class.

Because nobody talks during class...

Ring ring!

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

At this point, most teachers will leave on their own and prepare for the next class.

But Hermes didn't leave; instead, he walked towards Ling Yuan and the others with a smile.

The students, both frightened and curious, quickly made way and watched from a distance.

Ling Yue clenched her fists, looked down at her knees, and her pupils were filled with fear.

Judging from the other person's character, you can tell they're not a good person.

"Just say what's on your mind."

When Hermes came before everyone, Ling Yuan spoke directly.

"I enjoy talking to intelligent people."

"Then I'll just ask directly."

Hermes chuckled softly.

Then he slowly opened his narrowed eyes. "Have you discovered the truth of the world?"

"What do you mean by the truth?" Ling Yuan asked curiously, stroking his chin.

Hermes smiled slightly, "This world is broken and incomplete. You must have already come to know why."

Upon hearing Hermes' words, Ling Yuan subconsciously thought of a certain Flood Dragon.

I don't know where he went.

Hermes continued.

Five hundred years ago, the realm of Olympus was not connected to this world, but one day, the barrier between the worlds was broken.

"This deliberate behavior, without exception, is caused by some kind of being in this world, or rather, some kind of will."

"So what?"

Hermes was originally prepared to give a long speech, was completely dumbfounded by Ling Yuan's words.

And then? And then I'll tell you about the glory of Olympus?

In short, once Ling Yuan interrupted him, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

The other party clearly didn't want to listen to his rambling.

"You must have received some 'gifts' as well, right?" Hermes asked tentatively.

"Can you please stop being a riddle reader? You only say half the story, don't you have an egg to say?" Ling Yuan said speechlessly.

Hermes: "..."

Do you possess Heavenly Dao Shard?

"No."

Ling Yuan answered without hesitation.

"Since you have it, um? What did you say?" Hermes was bewildered.

"I said no," Ling Yuan emphasized again.

Hermes gave Ling Yuan a deep look.

"In that case, I understand. Come find me again when you've thought it through."

With that, Hermes left.

"This is inexplicable." Wang Ming said, puzzled. "What Heavenly Dao Shard? If I had that, I would change the rules of the world directly."

Ling Yuan smiled and stood up, "Let's go to the next classroom."

Noticing Ling Yue beside him, Ling Yuan placed a hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing." Ling Yue shook her head.

"Don't worry, the fact that he's here means he's no longer very interested in you."

"?"

"Now his interest has shifted from you to me," Ling Yuan said, shrugging.

"Why?"

"Hey, what are you hey about? Let's go." Patting Ling Yue's head, Ling Yuan walked out first.

The rest of the people followed closely behind.

Although Ling Yuan appeared calm on the surface, he was still very concerned inside.

Since the other party knows about the Heavenly Dao Shard, they must also know about the World Will.

Things suddenly became unclear.

Time flies

Hermes has been very quiet these past few days, like a nobody, without making any moves.

In addition to teaching textbook knowledge every day, he also frequently used his divine authority to take students out for practical training.

It's unusual and makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

At first, the students were very wary, but they gradually became familiar with each other.

The thought even crossed my mind: 'Professor Hermes is a very good person, and what's circulating online is just slander and rumors.'

"Ling Yuan, come with me to the capital!"

That morning, Wang Ming grabbed Ling Yuan's elbow and pulled him out.

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I have no homosexual tendencies," Ling Yuan reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming glanced at Ling Yuan and said, "I don't have homosexual tendencies either!"

"So what are you in such a hurry to do?"

"Today is the day of the Wang Family's competition. We need to hurry over, or it will be canceled."
