The Whole Family Should Be Neatly Together

"Wei Tao wanted to kill me. He has a father who's a regiment commander, a mother, and a grandmother. His grandmother is Meng Nanxi's cousin, and his family is connected to the Meng Clan."

"If I kill Wei Tao, his father, mother, and grandmother will definitely come looking to avenge him. The Meng Clan might very well help them seek revenge on me too!"

"I'm just an ordinary person who wants to Lie Flat. Since all of you want to kill me, then I'll kill Wei Tao first, and then kill every last one of you!"

Jiang Chuan's emotions churned without end, and the savage gleam in his eyes flared.

Anyone who wanted to kill him deserved to die!

Long Sky Corroding Lightning!

Clang!

The Red Tasseled Long Spear became like a crimson python, shooting toward Wei Tao's head.

"Jiang Chuan! I don't want to kill you! I just said it casually!"

Feeling Jiang Chuan's terrifying Killing Intent, Wei Tao's legs trembled as he cried out in terror.

"You don't want to kill me?"

Jiang Chuan froze slightly, then flicked his wrist. The Red Tasseled Long Spear passed by Wei Tao's ear.

"I... I survived!"

As though all the strength had left his body, Wei Tao collapsed limply.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Meng Nanxi, Song Zhiyan, and the others all breathed sighs of relief.

Just now, they had almost thought Jiang Chuan was truly going to stab Wei Tao to death with a single spear thrust.

Sparring between classmates and killing someone were, after all, two entirely different things.

Jiang Chuan withdrew his spear and lowered his gaze toward Wei Tao. He grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Although we're classmates, say less of things like killing people in the future. No—better yet, don't say them at all. Otherwise, I'm really afraid I won't be able to hold back next time."

Wei Tao's Adam's apple bobbed as he nodded fearfully.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Just then, a burst of applause rang out.

Qu Shi, clad in crimson armor, had somehow appeared behind them.

"Zhao Jiang told me that students from the elite classes had arranged a duel at his place and asked me to come take a look, in case someone got hurt. I didn't expect to see such a good show."

Qu Shi walked to the edge of the deep pit and looked down at Jiang Chuan and Wei Tao, who was sprawled on the ground.

"Wei Tianhong is a useless fool, and his son is a brainless fool too. He clearly knew he was weaker than Jiang Chuan, yet he still insisted on charging in and provoking him again and again. Did you really think no one would dare kill you?"

"I... I..."

Wei Tao stammered. Faced with Qu Shi's mockery, he had no idea what to say.

Qu Shi shifted her gaze to Jiang Chuan, a smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.

"If you want to kill demon beasts, you must be stronger than them! Fiercer! More ruthless! I like students like you, like a Fierce Tiger!"

"Of all the students this year so far, you're the one I'm most satisfied with. Keep it up. I look forward to the day you leave the cage and go forth to slaughter!"

"As your reward, the position of Class Monitor for Elite Class 1 is yours."

Song Zhiyi, Song Zhiyan, and the others all revealed envious expressions.

Jiang Chuan's eye twitched slightly. "Teacher Qu, can a position like Class Monitor, where you have to do a whole pile of work for free, count as a reward?"

Meng Nanxi explained, "Jiang Chuan, students in the elite classes receive a certain amount of Merit Points every month. Ordinary students get 30 points per month, while the Class Monitor gets 60 Merit Points."

Ninety-nine Merit Points could be exchanged for a set of D-grade Alloy Battle Armor and alloy weapons.

Sixty Merit Points every month—wasn't that the equivalent of giving me one or two million every month?!

"Teacher Qu, you are the mentor of my life! A guiding beacon!"

Everyone: "..."

No, wasn't that face-changing a little too fast?

"Barring any surprises, the three elite classes will be full in three days. As Class Monitor, remember to organize the students of Class 1 to attend class."

After saying that, Qu Shi turned and left.

"I wonder what they teach in the elite classes?"

Jiang Chuan rubbed his chin, then noticed that Wei Tao was still slumped on the ground.

"Your mentality is too poor. It won't affect the upcoming classes, will it?"

"Um, I'm in Elite Class 2."

"The three classes attend lessons together. As the Class Monitor of Class 1, it's perfectly reasonable for me to remind a Class 2 student, right?"

"..."

Carrying the Red Tasseled Long Spear, Jiang Chuan walked out of the deep pit.

"I was the first one to enter the elite classes, yet they didn't choose me as Class Monitor."

Song Zhiyan clenched her fists and muttered at Jiang Chuan, "Teacher Qu actually chose you as Class Monitor! How infuriating!"

Jiang Chuan looked solemnly toward the doorway. "Teacher Qu, you're back. Perfect, I have—"

Song Zhiyan's expression changed drastically, Cold Sweat Flowing down her forehead. "Teacher Qu, I didn't say anything! My sister said it!"

Song Zhiyi's face darkened as she flicked her younger sister's forehead.

"Silly little sister, you were tricked and didn't even realize it."

Song Zhiyan turned around. There was no trace of Qu Shi anywhere.

Realizing she had been played, Song Zhiyan gritted her Silver Teeth. "Jiang Chuan! You dared to trick me!"

"During school hours, Student Song, please address me by my title." Without even looking back, Jiang Chuan walked out of the Cold Weapon Training Room.

"Officer Jiang! Officer Jiang! Officer Jiang!"

Song Zhiyan called out three times. "If you like hearing it, I can say it three more times."

After placing the Red Tasseled Long Spear on the rack, Jiang Chuan turned to look at Song Zhiyan.

"Then say it three more times."

Song Zhiyan spoke again. "Officer Jiang! Officer Jiang! Officer Jiang!"

Jiang Chuan commented, "You're more obedient than Director Big Orange in my house."

"Ahhh!!!"

Veins bulged on Song Zhiyan's forehead. "Jiang Chuan! I'll beat your head into a Pig Head!"

"Do you think I'll let you hit me?" Jiang Chuan took off running.

"Stop!"

Song Zhiyan immediately chased after him.

"A Fierce Tiger? Isn't he still just a child?" Song Zhiyi smiled and shook her head.

"We're all children, aren't we?"

Meng Nanxi blinked her large eyes. "Zhiyi, do you think Zhiyan can catch Jiang Chuan?"

Song Zhiyi answered, "She definitely can't catch him without using Divine Sense. If she uses Divine Sense, Jiang Chuan won't be able to run away."

Song Zhiyan chased Jiang Chuan out into the corridor. One in front and one behind, they ran dozens of laps around the Standard Earth Fire Furnace.

Song Zhiyan, whose stamina was clearly lacking, was soon panting heavily from exhaustion.

"Student Song, if you want to chase after your Class Monitor, you need to train harder too."

Jiang Chuan, whose breathing was slightly unsteady, looked at the sweat-covered Song Zhiyan and gritted his teeth. "Officer Jiang, if we weren't in the elite classes, I'd definitely make you pay!"

"If you weren't so young, and I weren't afraid of leaving you with psychological trauma, I'd draw three Directors on your face right now." Jiang Chuan returned her words exactly as they were.

"Our great Class Monitor Jiang, if you keep fooling around with Zhiyan, the food in the cafeteria will get cold."

Meng Nanxi smiled. "And cold Purple Horn Beef won't taste good."

"The cafeteria actually has Purple Horn Beef!"

Jiang Chuan immediately headed toward the cafeteria.

Purple Horn Cattle were the first demon beasts in Great Xia to be successfully raised on a large scale. Although adult Purple Horn Cattle were only First Realm demon beasts, they were still demon beasts.

Not only was their meat rich in nutrients, it also contained a small amount of Transcendent Factors.

Normally, one jin of A5 Wagyu cost over 1,000 Great Xia Coin, while Purple Horn Beef cost ten times as much as Wagyu!

One jin of Purple Horn Beef normally sold for over 10,000 Great Xia Coin.

Jiang Chuan had never eaten this beef, which could be called a luxury item.

He could hardly wait to try the Purple Horn Beef and see what the difference was between the meat of a First Realm demon beast and ordinary beef.
