Chapter 33

Hao Ran, who was even fatter than Lin Feng, shook his shoulders, pushing the people next to him aside, then walked behind Lin Feng and started massaging his back, saying, "Bro Feng just came from Tianfeng City, you must be exhausted. I'll give you a back and shoulder rub. You guys move aside, don't bother him."

The other students were furious. This guy was once a capable subordinate of Xu Qing, and he was the one who bullied Shen Lang the most!

Who would have thought that this fickle person would immediately change sides like that?

Just as everyone was cursing the fat guy in their hearts, he took out a yellow, egg-sized object from his chest and said, "Bro Feng, look, this is a third-level earth-type monster core from a Great Earth Ice Bear. My dad spent a lot of money to get it. I've been saving it, just for you."

Without waiting for a response, he shoved the monster core into Lin Feng's hand.

Everyone drew a sharp breath. This guy was really bold, even taking out a third-level monster core! This thing was quite valuable; it could be worth a month of hard training for a martial artist! If converted to gold coins, it would be worth tens of thousands!

What a generous gesture!

Lin Feng weighed the monster core in his hand and smiled, "You're smart, knowing I've been lacking this kind of thing lately. Don't worry, from now on, you'll follow me. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name!"

With these words, the entire classroom became chaotic, and a group of people started scrambling to give him and Su Hen various items.

"Hehehe, I never thought I'd have a day like this. These bastards used to gang up on us, but now they're groveling and don't dare to say a word! It looks like Young Master Lang scared them enough! This feels great!"

Lin Feng happily accepted the items everyone handed over, feeling quite pleased with himself.

As for Su Hen, he was even more ridiculous, his eyes glued to the chests of a few female classmates. He didn't pay much attention to the good things people were putting in his hands; a few flirtatious glances were enough to make him lose his head.

Fools only see beauty, while cunning merchants love gold and believe that with gold, they can get beauty.

That's the difference between a cunning merchant and a fool.

At this moment, the door opened again, and Mentor Muyin entered with a girl in a sky-blue dress.

"Wow! So beautiful..."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the girl behind Muyin. She had a face like jade, a demeanor like orchids, red lips, and skin as smooth as congealed fat. Her presence transformed the entire classroom, making the world seem suddenly beautiful and fresh...

Su Hen's mouth was wide open, big enough to swallow an egg.

Even Lin Feng, who usually valued money, forgot to put away the items in his hands...

"Hey, Young Master Lang, wake up, wake up... It's time to see the beauty!"

Lin Feng called out, standing up involuntarily and pushing his way to the front.

But he hadn't taken two steps when Su Hen grabbed his clothes and pulled him back.

"Hey, Merchant, this is the beauty I met on the road. Why is she here? Happiness came too quickly! Merchant, hit me, hit me hard, see if I'm dreaming!"

"Slap!"

Lin Feng slapped him so hard that he flew into the wall.

"That was you asking me to hit you," Lin Feng said with a smile, then quickly pushed his way to the front of the crowd.

"Let me introduce everyone, this is classmate Shui Qingwu, from the Jialan Academy in the capital. She will be staying in our class for a while and will join us in the Thorn Valley trial in half a month." Muyin clapped her hands and said loudly.

This girl with the stunning beauty was none other than Shui Qingwu, whom Shen Lang had saved from the monster corpses yesterday.

Shui Qingwu had no airs about her and smiled as she greeted the class.

Suddenly, her smile faltered, and her gaze fell on the last row, where a guy was snoring loudly, oblivious to the commotion in the classroom.

Muyin's smile vanished, and she flicked her finger, sending a fireball toward Shen Lang, startling everyone.

The fireball hissed and reached Shen Lang's head, and if he didn't react, his hair would be burned off...

At that moment, Shen Lang casually pinched the small fireball between his fingers, catching it with a cool and elegant gesture.

In the next second, he jumped up like a monkey, landing on the desk and tossing the fireball away, saying, "Ouch, ouch, you actually hit me with a fireball!"

Muyin smiled slightly and said, "Who are you calling a bastard?"

"I want to protest! I want to condemn!" Shen Lang jumped up and down in anger, making everyone chuckle.

"Protest denied. Who told you to sleep in the morning? From today on, you're not allowed to sleep in my class." Muyin said calmly.

"Rather die than not sleep!"

"I just said you can't sleep in my class. I don't care about other classes."

"That's acceptable..."

Just as Shen Lang was about to jump off the desk, his gaze fell on Shui Qingwu beside Muyin.

Their eyes met, and both were momentarily stunned.

"It's her? So the beauty Mentor Muyin mentioned is her?" Shen Lang was slightly surprised but quickly looked away and jumped off the desk.

Shui Qingwu, however, was different. When she saw Shen Lang's eyes, her heart trembled: "These eyes, they're so familiar..."

The image of the young man with the demon mask immediately came to her mind. The more she compared them, the more she felt the eyes were very similar.

Both had clear and bright eyes, with a hint of lazy smile...

Thinking of this, Shui Qingwu's gaze fell on Shen Lang's face and hands, but she was disappointed to see that they were unblemished, with no signs of injury.

The demon-masked man, on the other hand, had suffered severe injuries from repeatedly using techniques to stimulate his potential and the final blade skill that exceeded his physical limits. The ground was covered in blood, and he left a trail of blood as he walked away, indicating the severity of his injuries.

But the young man in front of her was completely fine, with no problems at all, and his skin even looked good!

"Sister Muyin, what's this classmate's name? He seems familiar," Shui Qingwu hesitated for a moment and turned to ask.

Muyin was taken aback. Shen Lang had slept for ten years at Tayan Academy, spending more time there than at home, while Shui Qingwu was from a prominent family in the capital and had never left. How could they have any connection?

"He's called Shen Lang. You probably haven't met before. The person I mentioned to accompany you is him," Muyin said.

Shui Qingwu smiled and walked over to Shen Lang, extending her hand, "Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

Shen Lang rolled his eyes and laid back on the desk, muttering, "No need for that, just don't bother me while I'm sleeping."

Everyone was stunned. This guy was really over the top. Such a stunning beauty was standing in front of him, talking to him, and he was indifferent?

But many people were secretly pleased: "Good, good, this guy is now so powerful. If he also wanted to participate, the other students in the class would have no chance. Now it's better..."

Shui Qingwu awkwardly retracted her white hand and sat down next to Shen Lang, saying with grace, "Sister Muyin, I'll sit here from now on, okay?"

Although she was rejected, she trusted Muyin and knew that the person Muyin chose for her couldn't be wrong.

"Sure, sure, no problem, that's my seat," Lin Feng finally found an opportunity to speak.

Muyin, seeing the usually pampered and loved Shui Qingwu in such an awkward situation, felt quite helpless. If it were anyone else, she might have scolded them.

But with Shen Lang, scolding wouldn't help, especially now that she knew his high cultivation and remarkable skills in alchemy. She couldn't bear to scold him.

Such a talented student was rare even in Tayan Academy.

"Shen Lang, get up. Are you a man? You just said you wouldn't sleep in my class, and now you're sleeping again?" Muyin said sternly.

Shen Lang reluctantly got up and sat down, saying, "I'm not sleeping, I just need to rest my head for a moment... Not even a nap is allowed, is there no justice in this world?"

"Here, I am the law!" Muyin said, then suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, the academy has just issued a notice. You'll see it later, but from today on, no one is allowed to leave the academy at night. Violators will be severely punished!"

"What? Not allowed to leave Tayan Academy at night? Why?"

"I don't know, but it sounds serious..."

Muyin, seeing the students discussing, sighed and said, "Someone discovered a large number of monster corpses about sixty miles outside Tayan Academy. If you're not afraid of death, you can try going out and see if you get lucky and encounter one."

"Monster corpses!" The entire classroom erupted in chaos.
