You Can Really Get Creative with This?!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yangzi's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Teacher! Does that mean we can steal other people's Spirit Power? And conversely, can they steal ours too?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the classroom became excited.
Stealing Spirit Power! That's much faster than killing Soul Beast yourself!
Before they could think any further, an excited voice suddenly rang out from the back row.
"Oh? There's such a rule?"
Bai Yushan suddenly sat up straight, his previously lazy eyes instantly becoming frighteningly bright, radiating a sharp light, as if he had discovered something incredibly interesting.
He slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and a smile that was both excited and wicked spread across his face:
"Doesn't that mean I can use other teams as laborers? Confiscate their distress signals, force them to kill Soul Beast, and then when they kill the Soul Beast Soul Beast, and Spirit Power emerges, I can just go and absorb it? Make others work for me?!"
"..."
The classroom fell into a deathly silence.
Tang Wulin stood there, mouth agape, about to speak, frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.
Xie Xie's excitement froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.
Gu Yue rubbed his forehead, looking like he knew this would happen.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were completely dumbfounded, staring at the smiling boy in the back row, with only one thought in their minds—
Dude? You've got some serious skills!
How the hell did you even think of doing that?!
How can someone so young have a mind more vicious than Evil Soul Master?!
Making others do the hard labor while you lie around absorbing Spirit Power? Is that something a human would do?
Even Wu Changkong was stunned; for the first time, a clear look of astonishment appeared on his usually cold face.
He had imagined many possible reactions from the students: excitement, nervousness, eagerness. But he never expected that someone's first reaction would be to capture other Soul Master as slaves to work for him.
This line of thinking is absolutely outrageous!
"Bai Yushan!" Wu Changkong's face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "The Spirit Ascension Platform training is for you to hone your skills and teamwork, not for you to engage in crooked practices!"
"How is that considered crooked?" Bai Yushan said righteously. "The rules say we can steal, but they don't say we can't force them to fight monsters. Anyway, they're going in to kill Soul Beast, so what difference does it make who they kill? They can work for me and get beaten less, it's more cost-effective."
The more he talked about it, the more brilliant the idea seemed.
Killing Soul Beast yourself is too troublesome. You have to do it yourself and waste time. Just grab a few teams to do the hard work, let them fight, and you can just stand aside and absorb Spirit Power. It's efficient and saves effort. It's a perfect solution.
"You—" Wu Changkong was so angry he couldn't speak. He pointed at him for a long time, finally managing to choke out, "Don't do anything reckless inside! The safety of the team is the top priority!"
Bai Yushan pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
Reckless? Once inside, he'll be the one in charge.
Tang Wulin blinked his big eyes, looked at Bai Yushan, and timidly raised his hand to ask, "Um... Bai Yushan, do we... do we need to work too?"
Bai Yushan squinted, tilted his head, and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, a hint of trepidation on his face, and cautiously replied, "I guess... we don't need to?"
Bai Yushan scoffed, "You'd better pray you don't run into me." As he spoke, Bai Yushan glared at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue's lips twitched. Well, this brat still holds grudges!
After Bai Yushan finished speaking, he ignored the reactions in the classroom, stood up, and stretched lazily, a series of cracking sounds coming from his bones. He looked at Wu Changkong, who was expressionless on the podium, and waved his hand, "Teacher Wu, I have to go now."
Before he could finish speaking, he swayed and leaped out of the back window with fluid movements, without pausing for a moment.
The classroom was silent.
Wu Changkong's forehead veins throbbed, but in the end he just snorted coldly and said nothing.
He was used to this kind of thing. It was a miracle if Bai Yushan could sit still for half a class. The kid only became active during practical training or when he could spar with him.
When he comes to class, he either lies down and sleeps or doodles in his notebook, pondering martial arts techniques. To him, the classroom is no different from a study room he can come and go as he pleases.
"Never mind him, let's continue with the assessment instructions." Wu Changkong withdrew his gaze and continued explaining to the remaining five people.
Xie Xie closer to Tang Wulin and whispered, "This guy is too arrogant. He even jumps out of the window with such self-righteousness."
Tang Wulin scratched his head and chuckled, "But Bai Yushan is really strong. With him around, we're sure to pass this assessment."
Gu Yue sat beside him, her fingertips lightly tapping the table, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. She knew Bai Yushan's temperament all too well; if he said he would take in laborers, he would definitely take them. If they were to enter the Riot Spirit Ascension Platform, let alone other teams, they would probably be in big trouble too.
On the other side, Bai Yushan left Eastsea Academy and strolled leisurely toward Gu Yue's villa outside the city.
After the electric current tempering stopped working on Gu Yue, Gu Yue moved back to the academy dormitory, saying it would be more convenient for attending classes.
Bai Yushan didn't care. He was well aware of Gu Yue's little schemes. She was deliberately keeping her distance because she was afraid he would investigate her identity, and he was too lazy to expose her.
Anyway, Zi JI is still in the villa.
For Bai Yushan, this villa was his weekly high-level training dungeon. Zi JI, a sparring partner at least at the Soul Saint level, was a million times more effective than any Spirit Ascension Platform or special training. Fighting two or three times a week, getting beaten half to death each time and then healing himself, his cultivation level Electric Current Push, rose rapidly, far more efficiently than if he were to cultivate alone.
Moreover, Zi JI is an interesting person. She looks aloof and Haki, like an ice queen, but she's actually very thin-skinned. She blushes and gets angry if you tease her a little. She's also quite fierce when she fights. She's much more interesting than Wu Changkong, who has an icy face every day.
He strolled along, and soon arrived at the villa's entrance. Without any ceremony, he pushed open the door and went in, as if he knew the place like the back of his hand.
The courtyard was quiet and peaceful, the sunlight was just right, casting a warm glow on the lawn. Bai Yushan glanced around but didn't see anyone, a smirk playing on his lips, and headed straight for the bedroom on the second floor.
Pushing open the door, I saw Zi JI lying on the bed taking a nap.
Her usually meticulously tied purple hair was now mostly loose, spread out on the pillow, making her look less sharp and domineering and more gentle. She was covered with a thin blanket, her breathing was even, her long eyelashes were drooping, and sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto her face, making her already delicate features appear even more gentle.
After three months of getting along, Zi JI had long since gotten used to Bai Yushan's occasional intrusions and his frivolous nature.
Bai Yushan walked over quietly, stood by the bed for two seconds, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He then reached out his large hand and placed it over Zi JI's lower abdomen through the thin blanket.
He was constantly powered by Electric Current Push, so the temperature of his palms was much higher than that of ordinary people, and the warm touch was particularly noticeable even through the blanket.
