The Long-Harbored Wish (First Update! Please Subscribe!)

The rain grew heavier and heavier.

The Headmaster's aura was feeble, his figure flickering in and out of existence. He had stopped attacking altogether and could no longer use any "strange" methods.

Beneath the corridor, Pei Ling stood ramrod straight, the "strange" aura around him growing ever stronger.

It seemed he had become the embodiment of the strangeness here!

The system calmly operated the Sun Erosion Secret Record, absorbing the Headmaster's last remnant of power.

In the rain, the Headmaster's form shattered inch by inch. He let out an unwilling roar and stared at Pei Ling with a gaze full of malice and savagery. But in the end...

BOOM!!!

A thunderclap split the sky. The Headmaster instantly became a single point and was devoured by Pei Ling.

Pei Ling's mind went blank...

In a daze, he seemed to see a young scholar hurrying along a country road, while a Yellow Dog ran back and forth, circling around his feet.

The scholar wore the same blue robe every day. With no spare clothes to change into, he washed it over and over until the blue had faded to white.

His father had died when he was young, and his mother when he was still a boy. Life was bitterly hard. His clan members considered him ill-omened and rarely associated with him. Only the Yellow Dog he had raised since childhood stayed by his side, never once abandoning him.

The scholar had devoured books and possessed profound knowledge, yet fortune never favored him. He repeatedly failed the imperial examinations and eventually ended up teaching at a village school called Xiwu Academy.

The academy's previous Headmaster had no sons, only a daughter.

By a twist of fate, the daughter fell in love with the scholar. After they married, he naturally inherited the academy.
