Unexpected Mentor

Gude and Wang Changfu quickly stepped in front of Fang Ziwei.

"Are you kidding me? Teaching Zhang Yunya wasn't enough?"

With just Zhang Yunya, Magic Martial University had been the subject of parental complaints for three consecutive years, ranking first.

Although it was mainly Zhang Yunya's fault, Fang Ziwei, as her mentor, definitely deserved a large portion of the credit.

If Fang Ziwei were to teach Shi Yan, judging by Lei Gang's miserable state, Magic Martial University might not receive parental complaints, but rather the Monster Suppression Bureau would come to arrest them.

"What, are you going to stop me?"

Fang Ziwei's slight glance sent a shiver down their spines.

In terms of status, the Vice Principal's position was higher than theirs. In terms of strength, Fang Ziwei was a peak Martial King, while Wang Changfu was at the mid-stage of the eighth order, and Gude was only a seventh-order Martial General.

Gude dared not speak. Finally, Wang Changfu gritted his teeth and said, "Vice Principal Fang, I don't think you're suitable to teach Shi Yan. After all, you'll be retiring after Xiao Ya graduates, and Shi Yan's Supernatural Ability is fire, which doesn't match yours very well."

He could only say this, and it was the truth. Fang Ziwei was already eighty years old, and her focus should be on breaking through her realm.

Although Martial Kings could live for a very long time, Fang Ziwei had been stuck at this realm for thirty years. If she didn't calm down and cultivate, she would likely never reach the Martial Emperor realm in this lifetime.

"Don't give me that. Supernatural Ability is one thing, teaching is another. How much does the two have to do with each other?"

Fang Ziwei retorted, leaving Wang Changfu speechless for a moment.

As a teacher at a top global institution, he naturally knew that a teacher's Supernatural Ability was only an aid; the most crucial part was the teaching methods and approach.

And this crucial part was what he feared the most.

Just as he was about to find more excuses, Fang Ziwei continued:

"Don't worry, I'll only teach for one academic year. I'll have Xiao Meng take over my class when she returns."

"What! Teacher Meng is coming back?"

Wang Changfu and Gude were startled, then overjoyed.

Meng Xuan, Zhang Yunya's senior disciple sister and one of Fang Ziwei's disciples, was the only one who had surpassed her teacher.

Her strength, according to rumors, had already surpassed her teacher's three years ago.

She was originally a teacher at Magic Martial University, but five years ago, she took on a mission and went to Australia.

After the spiritual energy resurgence, Australia had a terrifying number of Demonic Beasts. Coupled with its sparse population, those who could die had died, and those who could flee had fled, eventually turning it into a no-man's-land and a paradise for Demonic Beasts.

It wasn't until the global Warriors gradually grew stronger and gained a certain advantage that various countries began to set their sights on that region.

Since Meng Xuan was returning, it was likely that the China had already established a firm foothold in Australia.

It was believed that in a short time, Australia would be renamed South Jambudvipa.

This was a side note. If Meng Xuan returned to Magic Martial University, it would undoubtedly give them another trump card, making them an invincible powerhouse.

Furthermore, Meng Xuan's Supernatural Ability was S-Class fire, which was perfect for teaching Shi Yan.

"That's right, are you relieved now?" Fang Ziwei nodded, then looked at Shi Yan.

"Shi Yan, I am Zhang Yunya's mentor and the Vice Principal of Magic Martial University. Are you willing to become my disciple?"

The sudden question caught Shi Yan off guard.

After hesitating for only 0.01 seconds, he replied, "This student is willing!"

As he spoke, he performed a deep bow.

Only a fool would refuse. Not to mention Fang Ziwei had greatly helped him with the Breathing Technique he obtained, but just the fact that the Vice Principal came to him personally to accept him as a disciple was reason enough not to refuse.

Besides the Vice Principal's identity, she was also a powerful Martial King.

The experience of reaching that realm alone was enough for him to learn from for a long time.

Li Tao and Ding Le at the entrance of the villa saw this scene and their eyes instantly turned red.

Out of jealousy.

A big shot from the school appeared, not only did they not punish Shi Yan for injuring someone, but they also took him as a disciple on the spot. Who could stand this?

Especially since the person accepting Shi Yan was named Fang Ziwei!

Who was Principal Fang? She had taken in eight disciples, and every single one of them was incredibly formidable!

Especially Meng Xuan, who not only achieved the Martial Emperor realm but also killed her way through Australia until no one dared to challenge her.

Before entering Magic Martial University, they had done a lot of research, and their greatest hope was to become a disciple of Vice Principal Fang, or at the very least, a disciple of her disciple.

Unfortunately, the scenario they dreamed of was happening to Shi Yan.

From beginning to end, she hadn't even glanced at them.

"Good, good, good. From now on, you are my ninth disciple. Take this first."

Fang Ziwei was overjoyed and presented a bronze ring.

This was a Space Ring, and it was impossible to buy with money on the outside.

When the ring appeared, even Gude and Wang Changfu's eyes flashed with envy.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Shi Yan didn't know the value of the ring, but he figured it must be quite expensive. After all, a Martial King had personally given it to him, so it couldn't be anything shabby.

When he took the ring, his hand felt a slight weight, further confirming his thoughts.

"I won't be at Magic Martial for the next three days. You should get familiar with the school, and report back to me after three days."

Fang Ziwei nodded in satisfaction, then leaped into the air and vanished in an instant.

"Shi Yan, this is Dean Wang Changfu from the Combat Branch. He has something to say to you."

Gude introduced him, then turned to Wang Changfu and gave him a knowing wink.

They couldn't outright refuse Fang Ziwei, but they could still intervene with Shi Yan to some extent.

"Student Shi Yan greets Dean Wang."

Shi Yan maintained the proper etiquette and bowed to Wang Changfu.

He had learned from Zhang Yunya that the deans of Magic Martial's four major branches were all Martial King level powerhouses. One had to show sufficient respect to such individuals.

He just didn't know why the dean of the first branch would suddenly appear here.

"Hmm, indeed, a fine young man," Wang Changfu said with a gentle smile. "Actually, it's nothing major. It's just that the advanced Body Tempering Medicine promised to you each month needs to be collected from me personally each month, as it's quite precious."

This was the best excuse. If Fang Ziwei were to lead Shi Yan astray, he could always correct him periodically.

After a few more words of instruction, Wang Changfu and Gude left with the unconscious Lei Gang.

Shi Yan, filled with excitement, fiddled with the ring in his hand and entered the villa.

Little did they know, on the rooftop of Magic Martial's tallest building, two people were watching the scene unfold.

Both were elderly men, one in white and the other in blue, both exuding an air of immortal grace.

The old man in white had a full head of white hair and beard, and was none other than the Principal of Magic Martial. The old man in blue had a fair, beardless face and was one of Magic Martial's three Vice Principals.

"Old Bai, why did you have Ziwei take Shi Yan under her wing?" the old man in blue asked, turning his head.

Fang Ziwei was certainly skilled at teaching, but she was retiring next year. How much could she teach Shi Yan?

"Old Liu, you're being too formal," the Principal said with a smile, stroking his long beard. "A genius only needs to be introduced to the path. Besides, Shi Yan joining Ziwei's tutelage is mainly for Zhang Yunya."

"Oh?" the old man in blue exclaimed, recalling some of the Principal's precognitive abilities.

"Zhang Yunya's temperament is unpredictable, and she's highly likely to face a great calamity in the future. Shi Yan might be able to help her," the Principal explained.

"Are you wondering if Shi Yan helping Zhang Yunya will bring about an even greater calamity? Don't worry about that. Shi Yan has Po backing him."

"That's not right, Old Bai. How can Po be Shi Yan's backer? They've never even met." The old man in blue was confused, thinking the Principal was being too speculative.

Who was the Hall Master of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall? They couldn't just forcibly link him to Shi Yan because of a knife and a breathing technique, could they?

"I'm not sure either, but that's just how it feels."

"You... forget it. I hope it's true. I'm going to check on Lei Gang and put another insurance policy on this year's freshman competition."

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
