Nie Li Reborn

Chang Ping's booming voice pulled the students out of their dejection.

Everyone strained their ears, wanting to know his insightful opinion.

"Instructor Shen Xiu, have you ever heard the saying, 'Heaven has given me talent, and it must be useful'?" Chang Ping suddenly stood up, staring intently at Shen Xiu, startling her.

"Even though the facts are as you said, most people in this class don't have good cultivation talents, but this world isn't just about cultivation. We can refine pills, forge weapons, sew armor, and cook delicious food."

"I believe that as long as we work hard, we can definitely become leaders in all walks of life. We are no worse than Demon Spirit Masters or warriors!"

"Think about it, if there were no alchemists, what would you do when you got sick or injured? If there were no blacksmiths and tailors, would you fight demon beasts bare-handed and naked? If there were no chefs, would you eat raw meat and drink raw blood?"

Shen Xiu was speechless.

"Chang Ping is right! We are no worse than anyone else!"

"Heaven has given me talent, and it must be useful. Well said, I'm going to carve this sentence on my desk to remind myself constantly."

"I want to become the strongest alchemist in the City of Radiance!"

The students chimed in one after another, making the classroom as lively as a marketplace.

Shen Yue, sitting in the back row, let out a disdainful snort, "A bunch of fools, dreaming! Without family support, none of you will succeed!"

"Shen Yue? Why are you sitting here?" A surprised voice suddenly came from Shen Yue's right.

???

Shen Yue turned his head and saw the biggest idiot in the class, whose Soul Force was only five, staring at him.

Was this idiot blind? Chang Ping, that beast, had blasted him here yesterday morning. He must have passed by him at least eight or ten times. How could he not know?

Shen Yue guessed that the idiot was asking this to embarrass him.

"The scenery here is good, and the air flows well. I'm happy to sit here. Does it concern you?" Shen Yue didn't want to waste words with this idiot and turned to continue enjoying the view outside the window.

The yellow-haired youth awkwardly twitched the corners of his mouth and turned his head back.

"Nie Li, what's wrong? Amnesia?" his deskmate Lu Piao asked with concern.

Unexpectedly, Nie Li suddenly hooked his arm around Lu Piao's neck and said with a smile, "No, I just had a dream. In my dream, you all died in battle."

"Holy crap! Then why are you smiling so happily?" Lu Piao quickly wriggled out from under Nie Li's arm.

In the days since school started, he couldn't recall offending Nie Li. Could it be because he only invited Chang Ping yesterday and not him?

Nie Li patted his chest and said, "Well, I'm alive, aren't I? I will save you all."

"I really thank you!" Lu Piao's forehead oozed a drop of speechless sweat.

Nie Li's gaze shifted forward, landing on Ye Zi Yun's profile.

He paused for a moment and asked Lu Piao with confusion, "Why is Zi Yun pinching her nose? Is she bleeding from the nose?"

"I guess she's being suffocated by her deskmate. Don't you smell it? The whole room smells like sheep." Lu Piao spread his arms and drew a large circle.

Deskmate?

Isn't her deskmate Shen Yue?

Nie Li glanced at Shen Yue.

"What the hell are you looking at! Keep looking and I'll dig your eyeballs out!" Shen Yue clenched his fist and warned fiercely.

Nie Li awkwardly turned his head and looked towards the front of the classroom.

He saw a burly young man standing next to Ye Zi Yun. He had a buzz cut, wore a red shirt, and carried a worn-out straw hat on his back.

Nie Li keenly observed that this unfamiliar youth was greedily staring at the instructor's ample cleavage, like a famished wolf.

"Who is this guy? I don't recognize him?" Nie Li pointed at the youth's back and asked.

"You don't recognize him?" Lu Piao looked at Nie Li with astonishment. "You don't recognize this mighty man who defeated Shen Fei and took down Tie Lang?"

"What? Defeated Tie Lang?" A wave of shock surged through Nie Li's heart. He vaguely remembered that Tie Lang was his martial arts instructor in the Beginner Warrior Class in his previous life. Tie Lang was a Gold two-star cultivator and ranked among the top ten strongest in the entire Saint Orchid Academy.

Now Lu Piao was telling him that Tie Lang was defeated by this youth?

"Not just defeated, he was utterly crushed." Lu Piao said proudly. "In the second fight, Chang Ping only used one move, and Tie Lang immediately knelt and surrendered, right in front of Vice Dean Ye Sheng and the entire class. Don't you think that's impressive?"

"He is indeed quite impressive..." For some reason, Chang Ping's appearance gave Nie Li a sense of inexplicable crisis.

Nie Li was silent for a moment and asked, "Hey, Lu Piao, if I defeat Chang Ping, can I sit next to Ye Zi Yun?"

Lu Piao looked at him as if he were an idiot and nodded.

"Theoretically, yes, but are you sure you want to do that?" Lu Piao scrutinized Nie Li from head to toe and said mercilessly, "With your skinny arms and legs, you're like a little chick. Chang Ping could flick you away with one slap. Forget it!"

Hearing this, Nie Li was displeased.

"Don't underestimate me. All the essence is concentrated. How about we make a bet? We'll bet your allowance for this month. If I win against Chang Ping, your allowance is mine. If I lose, I'll wash your underwear for a month." Nie Li was very confident.

Although he was very weak now, with only 5 Soul Force and 21 Strength, with his vast knowledge from his previous life, he could easily take down even a Gold warrior.

"It's a deal! No backing out!" Lu Piao, who was looking for someone to wash his dirty clothes, readily agreed.

On the stage, under Chang Ping's threatening gaze that seemed capable of devouring people, Shen Xiu solemnly apologized to the entire class with a very sincere attitude.

Chang Ping sat back in his seat, satisfied.

The entire class no longer disdained the smell on him. Instead, they looked at him with gratitude. Thanks to Chang Ping, they were able to regain their confidence.

After calming the "plague god's" emotions, Shen Xiu continued her lecture, no longer daring to belittle the commoner students.

Knock, knock, knock!

Finally enduring until class ended, Shen Xiu packed up her teaching materials and ran out.

Chang Ping slammed the desk, performed a 360-degree flip, and landed steadily in front of the desk, chasing after Shen Xiu out of the classroom like a gust of wind.

"What are you running for? I'm not going to eat you!" Chang Ping pinned Shen Xiu against the wall.

He noticed that Shen Xiu had put on makeup today, a very exquisite look.

A woman adorns herself for the one who pleases her. Could she have fallen for me?

"Don't do this, there are so many people watching, it's not good," Shen Xiu pushed against Chang Ping's heated chest, her face full of shyness. "Lunch! Come to your dorm at noon, and we can... again..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, her shyness increasing.

Chang Ping retracted his strong arms, letting Shen Xiu leave.

Staring blankly at Shen Xiu's retreating figure, Chang Ping frowned, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and muttered, "Did the sun rise in the west today?"

To conquer a man, you must conquer his esophagus. To conquer a woman, you must conquer her...

Could it be that Shen Xiu had been completely conquered by him?

Chang Ping hummed a little tune, walking back to the classroom triumphantly.

As soon as he entered, the smile disappeared from his face.

He saw a punk with dyed yellow hair sitting in his seat, looking at him provocatively.

"You're looking for death!"
