Treatment of a Genius

"I don't want to go to the Beginner Demon Spirit Master Class, I want to go to the Beginner Warrior Class," Chang Ping shook his head.

There was no Ning'er in the Beginner Demon Spirit Master Class, so he didn't want to go.

One of the reasons he came to Saint Orchid Academy was to save this girl who was about to become a sacrifice for family interests.

"Go to the Beginner Warrior Class? You want to become a warrior?" Ye Sheng immediately tried to dissuade Chang Ping from this childish idea. "What's the use of becoming a warrior? The higher you go, the more difficult warrior training becomes. You have to consume extremely precious natural treasures to improve. Are you rich?"

"Do you know how many Demon Spirit Coins it costs to cultivate a Black Gold One-star warrior?"

Chang Ping shook his head.

Ye Sheng held up five fingers.

"Five hundred Demon Spirit Coins?" Chang Ping asked foolishly.

"Five hundred million Demon Spirit Coins!" Ye Sheng rolled his eyes at him. "Only the Three Great Peak Families can afford that much money. Is your family one of the Three Great Peak Families?"

Chang Ping shook his head.

"In that case, I'll give up on becoming a warrior and focus on becoming a Demon Spirit Master," Ye Sheng sincerely advised. "Demon Spirit Masters only need to meditate to slowly improve their cultivation, and they don't rely much on medicinal assistance. It's very suitable for commoners like you."

Looking at his shabby attire, he must not be from a noble family. Which noble family would carry a tattered straw hat around every day?

"Let me tell you, Demon Spirit Masters are the most powerful profession in the City of Radiance. At the same level, warriors are no match for them at all. On the battlefield, warriors are less effective than Demon Spirit Masters. Warriors can only kill one enemy at a time, while Demon Spirit Masters can kill a group."

Ye Sheng suddenly slapped Chang Ping's shoulder with a "snap" and said mysteriously, "Do you know? If you can become a Gold Demon Spirit Master, you will gain nobility and a territory of your own. However, becoming a Gold warrior doesn't offer such benefits."

I have to admit, this kid's physique is quite solid. Judging by the hardness of his muscles, his Strength should already be over a thousand.

No wonder he wanted to become a warrior; his martial Talent is actually so strong.

"How about it? Do you still want to go to the Beginner Warrior Class now?" Ye Sheng released Chang Ping's shoulder and asked with a smile.

After his earnest persuasion, if this kid wasn't foolish, he should know how to choose.

Unexpectedly, Chang Ping said he still wanted to go to the Beginner Warrior Class.

Ye Sheng became anxious. Had all his efforts been in vain, and this gentleman hadn't listened to a single word?

"Please don't rush!" Chang Ping interrupted the about-to-explode Ye Sheng with a smile. "Although I want to go to the Beginner Warrior Class, I don't want to become a warrior. I'm not stupid. Why would I become a common warrior when I can become a Demon Spirit Master?"

"I have my own reasons for wanting to go to the Beginner Warrior Class, and I can't tell you for now. However, I promise you that by the end-of-term test in two months, I will cultivate my Soul Force to one hundred and transfer to the Formal Demon Spirit Master Class."

Saint Orchid Academy has three types of classes: Beginner Class, Formal Class, and Genius Class.

The Beginner Class is equivalent to elementary school, the Formal Class is equivalent to middle school, and the Genius Class is equivalent to a key middle school.

Since Chang Ping had made such a promise, Ye Sheng didn't say anything more.

He led Chang Ping out of the testing room and to the instructor's dormitory area, asking the dorm manager to get him a key to a luxurious single dormitory room.

"Uncle Ye, this isn't good, is it?" Chang Ping snatched the key from the dorm manager's hand and put it into the pocket of his blue shorts.

Ye Sheng smiled awkwardly. "It's fine, you're a genius!"

"However, if you don't cultivate your Soul Force to one hundred in two months, I'll take back the key and make you live in the collective student dormitory!"

"I promise to complete the mission!" Chang Ping vowed.

Ye Sheng nodded. "Right, after you've tidied up your room, go to the General Affairs Office to pay your tuition fees yourself. I have some matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you."

"Even geniuses need to pay tuition?" Chang Ping was stunned.

"Nonsense!" Ye Sheng rolled his eyes. "If you don't pay tuition, how can we pay the instructors' salaries?"

"People should learn to be content," Ye Sheng patted Chang Ping's solid shoulder and turned to leave.

Ye Sheng stepped on the air, as if walking on invisible stairs, and soon flew out of Chang Ping's sight.

Staring at the old man's receding, fluttering figure, Chang Ping was stunned for a long time.

Cool!

"Stop staring, genius! The Dean is already far away! Follow me, I'll take you to your dormitory," the dorm manager called out to the dazed Chang Ping.

"Why can he fly?" Chang Ping asked the dorm manager as they walked to the dormitory.

"To be precise, he floats!" The plump dorm manager, with his hands behind his back, walked with square steps and explained, "As long as you can cultivate to a Black Gold One-star Demon Spirit Master, you can also float in the air like the Dean. However, it won't last long, only for about one to two sticks of incense."

"Only by reaching the Legendary Demon Spirit Master realm, like Lord Ye Mo, can you fly in the air for a long time." The dorm manager suddenly stopped, turned to look at Chang Ping, and said, "There is a way for you to fly at the Silver Demon Spirit Master level, and that is to fuse with a Flying Spirit."

"However, Flying-type spirits are very expensive. A Bronze-level one costs hundreds of thousands of Demon Spirit Coins, the same price as a Silver-level spirit. Do you have money?"

Chang Ping shook his head.

Although he had two hundred thousand Demon Spirit Coins in his Space Ring, he wouldn't foolishly say it. He understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.

"Since that's the case, you should cultivate steadily, step by step, and don't consider those crooked paths," the dorm manager pointed forward and said, "See the doorplate? The one with 'Five Two One' is your dormitory. Go there yourself, I won't accompany you."

Five Two One? What a silly doorplate number!

Watching the dorm manager leave, Chang Ping took out his key, unlocked the door, and entered his dormitory.

Round table, round stools, cabinet, bed... Although the room's furnishings were simple, they were very clean, without a speck of dust. It seemed the dorm manager cleaned it regularly.

Opening the window on the back wall, he saw a small pond. He could vaguely see one or two small fish under the green lotus leaves.

Chang Ping raised an eyebrow. He was a little worried about frogs making noise when it rained, disturbing his sleep in the middle of the night.

"If they dare to disturb my sleep, I'll throw a grenade down and blow them all up!"

After closing the window, Chang Ping left his bare, simple dorm room. He asked the portly dorm supervisor for directions and then jogged towards the General Affairs Office.

He couldn't wait to see Ning'er.

The sun blazed high in the sky.

Ye Sheng rushed into the City Lord's Mansion in a frenzy.

"Lord Ye Shuo, Chang Ping is a rare talent that appears once in a century. We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!"

Ye Shuo was the second-in-command of the Snowy Wind Family, the City Lord's right-hand man.

Except for particularly important matters, ordinary affairs were all handled by him.

Ye Shuo was much older than Ye Sheng. His hair, eyebrows, and beard had all turned white, cascading down like a waterfall, almost completely covering his face.

However, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon's, emitting a soul-stirring radiance, as if all schemes and tricks could be easily seen through by him.

"Protect him! In a few days, after I've cleared out the Dark Guild's hidden strongholds within the city, I will personally visit Saint Orchid Academy."

Meanwhile, Chang Ping, upon arriving at the General Affairs Office, encountered big trouble.
