Chapter 2

During the new book period, every collection and every recommendation vote gives me a huge boost. I hope both new and old readers will support me! Let's create a brilliant future for the manga girl together!

As the gears of the "elevator" turned, it rose higher and higher. Li Yan looked down and saw the entire city of Bianjing come into view. He could see the city walls encircling Bianjing and the north-south streets, with tiny black dots, like ants, moving on them—those were the people of Bianjing.

"Wow, this Blackwood Cliff is so high!" Li Yan remarked, "Such a strange mountain standing right in the middle of Bianjing... Don't the people below worry about rocks rolling down and killing them?"

"Yes, yes!" The cute little girl Yang Guo echoed Li Yan's words.

"Don't worry about that!" The city patrol guard smiled. "With Headmaster Dongfang Bubai stationed on Blackwood Cliff, no matter how small the rolling stones, none can fall and injure the people below."

"Oh, really?" Li Yan was skeptical, but Uncle Dongfang's reputation was well-known, so it was best not to doubt him.

The "elevator" finally reached the top of the cliff. Li Yan stepped onto solid ground and looked around. Four building complexes separated by walls appeared before him. The city patrol guard pointed to each complex in turn and introduced them: "These four complexes are the Elementary School, Middle School, High School, and University... They offer full-time, fully enclosed education..."

Li Yan was speechless.

The city patrol guard led him toward the Elementary School, while another patrol guard walked alongside with the little girl Yang Guo, who was also heading to the Elementary School. The four of them soon arrived at the entrance of the Elementary School, where a horizontal plaque hung, inscribed with the characters "部学小校学侠武合综崖木黑."

Li Yan was puzzled and couldn't make sense of it for several seconds before realizing that in ancient times, characters were read from right to left.

At the entrance was a security booth, where several imposing figures stood. They wore the tight-fitting clothes favored by martial artists, with swords and daggers at their waists, and their temples were prominently bulging. Although Li Yan didn't know why skilled martial artists had bulging temples, it was a common trope in martial arts novels. Of course, true masters didn't have bulging temples, especially the protagonists, whose temples never bulged. This indicated that bulging temples were a hallmark of minor characters.

The city patrol guard entered the security booth and explained their purpose. A security guard then ran into the school. After a while, the guard returned with a beautiful woman. She wore a luxurious official gown, exuding an air of grandeur and elegance. Her features were exquisite, like a noble lady in a painting, and her every smile and gesture radiated charm.

The beauty introduced herself to Li Yan and the others: "My surname is Dongfang, and my name is Bubai. I am the headmaster of this school... However, I don't like being called headmaster. Please call me Miss Dongfang."

"Spit!" Li Yan spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Why did the little brother spit blood?" Miss Dongfang asked.

"Cough, I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time, and I couldn't find anyone to ask. Now that I see Miss Dongfang, who looks so capable, I finally have the chance to ask." Li Yan said seriously, "Where exactly is this place?"

"I don't understand what you mean by 'plane,' but I know this place is called: 部学小校学侠武合综崖木黑." Miss Dongfang replied.

"Hey, hey, hey! In ancient times, characters were written from right to left. You're from ancient times, so you shouldn't need me to remind you of that, right?" Li Yan was sweating profusely.

Miss Dongfang shrugged: "Alright, don't worry about the details. I'm very busy, so let's quickly assign you to your classes." She waved her hand, and a sewing needle attached to a fine thread flew out and silently pierced Li Yan's sleeve. Then, Li Yan felt a warm internal energy flow through the thread and needle into his arm, spreading throughout his body.

"You have no internal energy at all." Miss Dongfang had been probing his meridians and qi sea and found that Li Yan had not practiced any internal arts.

"Yes, I haven't learned any," Li Yan admitted.

"Have you practiced any boxing techniques?"

"No!"

"Sword techniques?"

"No!"

"Medical skills?"

"Don't ask. I've studied Chinese, Math, English, Physics, Chemistry, History, Geography, Physical Education, Music, Art, Physiology, Moral Education, the Seventh Set of Radio Gymnastics, the Fourth Set of Eye Exercises... but I haven't learned any martial arts," Li Yan said honestly.

"Oh, it seems you've learned a lot of useless things." Miss Dongfang dismissed the entire modern education system with one sentence. Then, she continued seriously, "Since you know nothing, it's easy. Starting today, you will be assigned to the first grade... Let me think... Class 3 of Grade 1 has an empty spot, so you'll go to Class 3!"

"What? First grade?" Although he had been mentally prepared, Li Yan still felt a faint sadness. He had worked hard to graduate from high school in the modern world, but now he had to start from the first grade in this plane. How could he bear it?

At this moment, Miss Dongfang walked up to the little girl Yang Guo: "Little sister, what martial arts do you know?"

The cute girl looked up and smiled at Miss Dongfang: "I know the Jade Maiden Sword Technique of the Ancient Tomb Sect, have practiced a few levels of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and also know the Heavenly Web and Earthly Net Fist Technique and a lightness skill called the Sparrow Capture Technique."

"Oh?" Miss Dongfang smiled. "So you're a descendant of the Ancient Tomb Sect..." She waved her hand, and the sewing needle pierced the little girl's sleeve. Soon, Miss Dongfang assessed the little girl's internal energy and said, "Your internal energy is quite good... With this internal energy, you can be directly admitted to the fourth grade... Plus, you know sword techniques, lightness skills, and fist techniques, so you'll go to Class 1 of Grade 7."

"Hey!" Li Yan was unhappy. "This little girl looks small and innocent, and doesn't seem very smart. She can go to middle school, but I have to start from the first grade? Explain this!"

"Does this need an explanation?" Miss Dongfang glared at Li Yan. "Your question is too childish, but as a headmaster and educator, I must answer all my students' questions, no matter how simple. Now, Yang Guo, show this brother your martial arts skills so he understands why you can go directly to middle school."

"Yes!" The little girl nodded seriously, then turned her eyes to a large rock nearby. The rock was about five meters tall and at least a few tons heavy. "Brother, I'll demonstrate breaking this rock."

"What?" Li Yan was sweating. "Little sister, don't be reckless. Punching a rock hurts a lot..."

Before Li Yan finished speaking, a blur appeared before his eyes, followed by a loud "boom." The rock shattered into pieces, and the little girl said, "Done."

Li Yan: "..."

"I'll also demonstrate the Heavenly Web and Earthly Net Technique." The little girl leaped lightly and caught a sparrow from the sky. Then, with a few swift movements, she caught two or three dozen sparrows. The sparrows flapped their wings, trying to escape, but the little girl's palm movements kept them all in front of her, unable to fly away.

Li Yan: "..."

Miss Dongfang said, "Little brother, do you understand now?"

"I understand!" Li Yan was sweating. "Alright, I'll start from the first grade, no objections!"

Miss Dongfang smiled. "That's a good boy. I see you lack sufficient knowledge of martial arts, so I'll accompany you to Class 3 of Grade 1 and teach you some things along the way." She turned to Yang Guo and said, "Little girl, use your lightness skill to report to Class 1 of Grade 7."

"Yes!" The little girl nodded and, with a flash, disappeared using her lightness skill.

"Damn! What a powerful little girl." Li Yan was amazed. Indeed, being from a famous sect had its advantages. She was so skilled at such a young age, unlike him, who had to start from the first grade... Little girl, just wait, I'll catch up with you!

Miss Dongfang led the way into the Elementary School, and Li Yan followed closely behind. As he watched Miss Dongfang's elegant figure walk ahead, he could see her swaying waist and slightly raised buttocks from behind. Li Yan enjoyed watching her walk, and his heart began to race. But then he thought, this is Dongfang Bubai, who is actually a hermaphrodite. If I get excited about him, that would be... damn!

Li Yan quickly composed himself and stopped fantasizing about Miss Dongfang.

As they walked, Miss Dongfang continued to introduce the school: "Our curriculum includes internal arts, lightness skills, boxing techniques, weapons, hidden weapons, medical skills, poison techniques, array formations, and mechanical devices... In short, we have a wide range of subjects. Everything in the martial world is covered here. Students can freely choose these courses, and when they reach a certain level, they can pass the exams and advance, such as from Grade 1 to Grade 2... When you complete the nine grades, you will have finished the nine-year compulsory education and can leave the school to join the military or various sects. Of course, you can also choose to continue your education in high school and university."

Li Yan was overwhelmed by the variety of courses! So many subjects? Impressive, even more than in the modern world.

Miss Dongfang continued, "Because human energy is limited, except for freaks like Huang Yaoshi, it's difficult for anyone to excel in all subjects, so our school allows specialization..."

Just as she finished speaking, a woman flashed past them. She was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, a big sister compared to Li Yan's current body. She wore a green robe, looking quite orthodox, somewhat like a ghostly woman. Although she was beautiful, her eyes darted around, indicating she was not a good person.

She appeared before Li Yan and Miss Dongfang for a moment, then vanished several dozen meters away, and disappeared again in the next instant.

Miss Dongfang pointed to the woman's back and said, "This high school student is a typical example of specialization. She excels only in lightness skills and is poor in everything else... By the way, her name is Wei Yixiao."

"Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King from 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'?" Li Yan was sweating. "Wei Yixiao should be from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, while Yang Guo is from the Southern Song dynasty! How can they appear at the same time? What kind of plane is this?"
