Chapter 34: Absolutely badass

Who is trying to steal my student?

A lazy voice suddenly sounded.

Lu Xun followed the sound and saw a scruffy, unkempt little old man with a messy beard appear not far away.

As your teacher, I had a bit too much to drink last night and just now saw your application; I agree to be your mentor. Elder Fu, you may leave.

After saying that to Lu Xun, the little old man turned and spoke to Fu Xue.

Drinking?

Lu Xun saw that the old man had a gourd-shaped wine flask at his waist, from which a silky wine fragrance wafted, refreshing to the heart and spleen.

This is Fei Tai'a, a Five Realms Grand Master?

What an image, how utterly unfashionable.

Upon second thought, being unfashionable is better.

Isn't this exactly the kind of mentor Lu Xun wanted!

Are you really going to choose Fei Tai'a? He's heartbroken, his Dao heart shattered, he gets drunk every day just to get by, making no progress in his lifetime; such a decadent mentor will be of no help to you.

Fu Xue's voice suddenly sounded beside Lu Xun's ear.

The voice was very soft, as if Fu Xue were leaning close to Lu Xun's ear and whispering.

It was a voice transmission technique, audible only to Lu Xun.

Heartbroken, his Dao heart shattered?

Fu Xue's words instantly made Lu Xun understand why Fei Tai'a looked like that.

Excellent!

Now Lu Xun was even more resolute.

Even if the heavenly king himself came today, he would still choose Fei Tai'a.

"Teacher Fei!" Lu Xun rushed over in a few strides, eagerly gripping the old man's hand, "I, the student, have finally been waiting for you!"

"Eh, my good student!" Fei Tai'a beamed, patting Lu Xun's shoulder, "From now on, I'll protect you; whoever dares to bully you, report my great name!"

Fu Xue blinked in surprise.

She hadn't expected that, after explaining the pros and cons to Lu Xun, he would still choose Fei Tai'a.

"Forget it."

Watching the old and young meet as if they were long-lost friends, Fu Xue shook her head and her figure silently vanished from the spot.

"Lu Xun, that Teacher Fei gives me an unreliable feeling; Teacher Fu is so powerful and even came specially for you—why did you reject her?"

Half an hour later, Chu Youqing asked, utterly perplexed.

In her view, Fu Xue was Lu Xun's best solution.

A Six Realms Grandmaster!

Chu Youqing's mentor isn't a Six Realms Grandmaster, merely a Five Realms Immortal Cultivator.

Six Realms Grandmasters usually spend most of their time cultivating; few have the leisure to come and be mentors.

Moreover, Fu Xue is a Six Realms Grandmaster who is just one step away from the Seven Realms.

Such a powerhouse personally came to take on disciples, yet Lu Xun actually refused!

If he refuses, let him refuse; if Lu Xun chose a normal mentor, that would also be fine.

But what did Lu Xun choose?

At a glance, Fei Tai'a looks unreliable!

That beard—probably hasn't been trimmed in years.

A dignified Five Realms Grand Master carrying a wine flask—where's the dignity of a grand master?

"Youqing, you just don't get it—Teacher Fei is hiding his strength. Think of the movies and TV shows: people like him are usually incredibly powerful, right?"

"Seems so."

"Then that's settled. Watch—my cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds. As for you, Youqing, you must work hard; don't let me pull too far ahead."

"Mm!"

Chu Youqing was successfully persuaded by Lu Xun.

The next day, Chu Youqing went to make an effort.

Her mentor came to find her ahead of time.

Li Buffan this kid was also burying himself in cultivation.

Lu Xun discovered that, once again, he was the only one with nothing to do.

"Wherever you lie down isn't lying down, Little White, you agree, right?"

Lu Xun teased Little White.

Last night, Little White still showed no abnormality.

That whatever princess didn't come out.

"Lu Xun, since you've chosen the old man, he can't show up empty-handed; this card contains some Dark Energy—consider it a greeting gift."

In the afternoon, Fei Tai'a called Lu Xun out and handed him a card.

Lu Xun saw that it was a special energy card, equivalent to a supermarket shopping card, except it recorded the amount of Dark Energy.

"Thank you, teacher."

"By the way, there's also a local-level cultivation method here that should be useful for you; cultivate well, but don't let Elder Fu see it as a joke."

After tossing another cultivation manual to Lu Xun, Fei Tai'a staggered away.

Looking at this, he must have drunk again last night.

"Really quite laid-back."

Lu Xun felt his choice was too wise.

If it were another instructor, they would now, according to the student's situation, pick a suitable technique for the student and devise a training plan.

What about Fei Tai'a?

He threw a card with dark energy and a technique manual, then left.

As for the rest, he didn't care about anything.

"So much!"

Lu Xun took that card to the machine to check, and couldn't help but be astonished.

Because the card contained ten thousand units of dark energy.

He didn't expect Fei Tai'a to be so generous.

"So satisfying."

Lu Xun put the card away and felt especially satisfied with his wise choice.

Now, even if Chu Youqing's family continued to cut off her card, Lu Xun could still keep his little girlfriend well-nourished.

"Fu Xue became Liu Xinghe's instructor?"

A few days later, Lu Xun happened to learn that Fu Xue had become Liu Xinghe's instructor.

This matter sparked considerable discussion on the campus network.

Even in Qingbei, it's not common to see a Six Realms expert come to work as an instructor.

Moreover, Fu Xue is not far from the Seven Realms, and she herself is a top-tier beauty.

"Does she have to be an instructor?"

Lu Xun expressed his incomprehension.

"I heard that Elder Fu Xue originally chose Lu Xun, but Lu Xun refused, insisting on Fei Tai'a, so Elder Fu Xue had no choice but to switch to Liu Xinghe."

"Lu Xun? Which Lu Xun?"

"He supposedly graduated from Rong Cheng No. 1 Middle School, also opened the Heaven Earth Meridian, but the scale of the phenomenon caused was not large."

"Why would Fu Xue choose such an obscure student?"

"Holy shit, is Lu Xun blind? He actually chose Fei Tai'a as a teacher; when the assessment comes, he'll have something to cry about."

"I just looked up Fei Tai'a too; this isn't laid-back, it's literally the Buddha himself!"

Lu Xun discovered that his abandoning Fu Xue for Fei Tai'a had already spread across the campus network.

Many freshmen were discussing this matter.

Many people originally wondered why Fu Xue would proactively come looking for Lu Xun.

Until the news of Fei Tai'a's laid-back attitude broke out, the students all without exception thought Lu Xun must have had water in his brain.

Otherwise, how could he do such a stupid thing?

"Hahaha, I was still thinking about how to surpass you, but I never expected you to come out and stab yourself twice."

In the training chamber, Lin Yan, who had trained nonstop for half a day, saw this news and burst into laughter.

He selected an instructor who also possessed the Red Yang Meridian; the other party was a Five Realms Grand Master.

The instructor was very responsible, teaching Lin Yan a method to slightly widen the Red Yang Meridian; Lin Yan treasured it like a priceless find and has been painstakingly training these days.

Now he is like the protagonist of an inspirational film, studying and training diligently; once his strength greatly improves in the future, he will settle accounts with Lu Xun to avenge his past shame.

As a result, Lu Xun actually chose Fei Tai'a, which is simply abandoning his martial arts and destroying his own Great Wall.

Could it be that Lu Xun thinks having a Heaven Earth Meridian means everything will be fine, so he doesn't even need a good instructor?

If it were another cultivation school, having a Heaven Earth Meridian would be remarkable; even without a good instructor, other students would struggle to keep up.

But what place is this?

This place is Beidou University.

Everyone has a Heaven Earth Meridian; at this point, the instructor's role becomes especially important.

Leaving aside other matters, training is a grueling affair; without supervision and guidance, some students who slack off a bit get overtaken by others.

People are inherently lazy.

"Lu Xun, are you alright?"

Li Bu Fan somehow got the news and came running over, startled.

"What could happen to me? I'm fine."

Lu Xun swatted away his hand that was trying to touch his forehead.

"If you're fine, how could you abandon a fresh flower and choose a pile of cow dung? Now the whole school is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!"

"What fresh flower and cow dung?"

"That's Fu Xue, a Six Realms expert, formerly the capital city's number one beauty; she came to you of her own accord, and you actually turned her down!"

Li Bu Fan felt heartbroken and regretted for his close friend.

"What's so great about a Six Realms expert? Bu Fan, you don't know—Fei Tai'a is the real treasure of an instructor; he gave me an Earth-rank technique and personally taught me cultivation; look, I've now entered the Qi Sea Realm."

Lu Xun circulated his true qi, and the surrounding air trembled.

"Hiss!"

Li Bu Fan's eyeballs suddenly widened to be bigger than a bull's eyes.

"Awesome, Brother Xun, you're just straight-up badass!"

Li Bu Fan was jealous to death.

He hasn't even opened his Heaven Earth Meridian yet, and Lu Xun has already reached the Qi Sea Realm.
