It's Better to Keep a Low Profile

There are no classes scheduled on the first day of school, which gives everyone time to get to know old classmates and new classmates.

Therefore, after briefly introducing himself and saying some familiar things such as "Study hard" and "You will graduate next year, so you must decide on your future direction in this last year," Mr. Si Ma Yan announced the end of the class meeting and turned to leave the classroom.

As soon as Mr. Si Ma Yan left, the classroom, Silencio just moments before, immediately erupted into chaos.

"I had long heard that Mr. Sima was particularly strict, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Yes, Mr. Sima only glanced at me just now, and I almost stopped breathing."

"But we're really lucky! Mr. Sima's magical skills are renowned throughout the entire Cultivation World. It's said that Mr. Sima is one of the few Cultivator has fully mastered the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Arts."

"Yes, thankfully this year's teacher isn't that Mr. Wu Shuang. I heard from the previous year's seniors that Mr. Wu Shuang liked to drag his students into duels, and he really tormented the seniors of Class 1, Grade 3 last year."

Listening to the chatter of his classmates, Bell scratched his head in confusion.

Was Mr. Sima very strict? I didn't think so.

He had always thought the other person was a very kind and approachable person.

So, it turns out that Brother Wu Shuang really enjoys sparring with his students? Could it be that the opponent's sixty-plus-win streak was actually accumulated from his own students?

"Hey! Can I call you Bell?"

At that moment, a boy sitting at the table in front of Bell suddenly turned around, looked at Bell curiously, and asked a question.

"Of course. May I ask your name?"

Bell responded with a smile.

"My name is DuGu Sheng, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Uh, I wonder about the old man DuGu QiuBai..."

"Huh!? You know my ancestor too!? So his fame has spread all the way to Europe!"

Upon unexpectedly hearing the name of his ancestor from Bell, DuGu Sheng was so excited he almost jumped out of his chair.

You should know that the person he admires most is his ancestor, DuGu QiuBai.

Of course, everyone with the surname Dugu admires DuGu QiuBai the most.

After all, back then, DuGu QiuBai, with just his sword, not only made the heroes of the Central Plains bow down, but also made the surrounding barbarian tribes tremble with fear.

It can be said that the DuGu Family's current prestige is at least half due to DuGu QiuBai.

To hear the name DuGu QiuBai from a British Wizards is truly unexpected.

Speaking of which, after the Xiongnu were driven away, it is said that they did indeed go to Europe to lord it over others?

Could it be that the Xiongnu spread the fame of our ancestors there?

Does the timing match up?

"..."

Seeing the other person's face turn red with excitement, Bell was speechless.

So he was just saying it casually, and it turns out there really is DuGu QiuBai?

Considering the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique" among Sword Cultivator Cultivation Method, Bell decided that he should keep a low profile during his year of studying in China. In particular, he shouldn't provoke these long-established Sword Cultivator.

That's absolutely terrifying!

"Do you wizards really know about my ancestor? How did you describe him?"

Seeing that Bell remained silent, DuGu Sheng asked again out of curiosity.

At this moment, he had forgotten what he wanted to say to Bell. His mind was now filled with the thought that "my ancestors were the best in the world."

"Uh, no. Actually, I traveled to China before, and I learned about your ancestor's name from some China classics."

Bell leaned back slightly, creating some distance between himself and DuGu Sheng.

The other person's face was so close that he couldn't help but want to punch them.

"Oh, I see..."

Upon hearing Bell's unexpected yet reasonable answer, DuGu Sheng felt as if all his energy had been drained, and he fell into a state of dejection.

"What's wrong with Xiao Sheng?"

Just as Bell was wondering how to deal with this "low-energy diffuser" in front of him, Zhang Xu, one of Ma Jingjing's underlings, came over and helped him out of the predicament.

"N-nothing, don't worry about me, I just want to be alone. And don't ask me who Jingjing is."

After saying that, DuGu Sheng stood up and walked out dejectedly.

The other person's behavior made Bell feel quite embarrassed, as if he had committed some heinous crime.

Perhaps this is the sense of loss brought about by the great rise followed by the great fall?

After staring curiously at DuGu Sheng's back for a while, Zhang Xu put the matter out of his mind.

After all, it's common knowledge throughout the Cultivation World that the members of the DuGu Family aren't exactly mentally sound, so it's no big deal.

"Bell, you've just arrived, you must not be familiar with the Academy yet, right? Let me show you around."

Zhang Xu explained the purpose of his visit.

Regardless, Bell was someone that Miss Ma had entrusted to them to look after, so he still had to keep an eye on him.

Otherwise, if one day that capricious young lady suddenly feels that he has neglected Bell and comes to cause him trouble, his small body won't be able to withstand it.

At Zhang Xu's enthusiastic invitation, Bell, unable to refuse, had no choice but to walk out of the classroom with him.

Originally, he planned to take his younger sister and girlfriend on a grand adventure at the Yandu Academy.

It seems that we'll have to postpone our exploration and discovery until we have more time later.

The total area of the Yandu Academy is much larger than that of Hogwarts. The Upper Academy alone occupies a larger area than Hogwarts.

After all, the number of students in just one of the Upper Academy is not much less than that of Hogwarts.

Furthermore, given the national conditions in China, Cultivator don't really care about being discovered by those Spirit-Rootless Person.

After all, even if they obediently hide and do nothing, countless "extraordinary people" will still appear every day.

However, there is one thing that Yandu Academy is far inferior to Hogwarts.

That is, it's not as fun as Hogwarts here!

It's important to know that Hogwarts was originally designed as a sanctuary. That's why it has many Secret Passage and hidden rooms.

In addition, the four Founders of Hogwarts were all very individualistic, and they left behind many magical, interesting, or dangerous mechanisms for Hogwarts.

All of this provided a great deal of fun for the adventurous Little Wizard (yes, Bell is referring to the group of energetic Little Lions in Gryffindor).

But Yandu Academy was different.

Yandu Academy was originally built as a place for teaching and educating people.

Therefore, apart from the outer Defense Array, all the internal arrangements of the Academy are for the purpose of teaching.

This results in the Yandu Academy being very 'clean' and somewhat uninteresting compared to Hogwarts.

However, the scenery is still very beautiful and refreshing.
