Chapter 17: Teaching Without Discrimination

At this moment.

Lu Li was on his way to Tiansheng Academy.

He did not know that he had already caused such a stir in the academy before even arriving, but even if he did, he would not take it to heart; with his current talent, he was confident he was not inferior to anyone.

Huanwu Villa was not far from Tiansheng Academy!

After spending only ten minutes on the road, Lu Li arrived outside the academy gates.

And it was at this very moment that a figure blocked his path.

The youth lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly.

Judging by the figure, it was none other than Lei Hong, who held a grudge against Lu Li!

"Are you looking for me?" Lu Li asked.

"I am also your student!"

Lei Hong raised his head, speaking with humiliation.

"I teach without discrimination; I have not excluded you," Lu Li replied with a smile.

"Then why won't you give me a chance?"

Lei Hong's voice trembled slightly.

Over this period, the classmates who had been selected for lessons with him that day had received guidance one after another, all achieving breakthroughs, while he alone had been blocked outside the gates, never receiving the corresponding treatment.

Watching those classmates leave him behind one by one, he was anxious.

What made him feel even worse was that after he failed to show any progress, many classmates around him began to look at him with strange eyes.

It was clearly a heaven-sent opportunity, yet he didn't know how to grasp it.

He must be a fool!

After holding on for over ten days, he finally collapsed under such invisible pressure and had to come to Lu Li to ask for an explanation.

"Do you remember what you said in front of me that day?"

Lu Li did not answer his question.

Taking a few slow steps, he walked right past him.

"What?" Lei Hong turned to ask.

"Go to the army. Serve for a year, and if you return alive, you will be my true student."

"You..."

Lei Hong was furious.

But looking at the figure that was already drifting further away, a deep sense of powerlessness suddenly arose within him.

Vice Sect Master of Tiansheng Academy!

The youngest Grandmaster in Qian Cheng!

Regardless of which identity it was, it was far from something he could afford to offend!

Soon.

Lu Li entered the academy.

Lei Hong had never been in his eyes from start to finish!

But he wouldn't be such a pushover as to perfect a technique for someone who had offended him.

Originally, Lu Li had just been too lazy to bother with him!

But thinking that Lei Hong had once boasted in front of him about going to the army to kill Fierce Beasts, he decided to give him a chance; if he could survive the army, he wouldn't mind giving him an opportunity.

"But looking at his appearance, he seems afraid to go to the army after all!"

Lu Li shrugged.

He had already given the opportunity; whether he could grasp it was up to him.

Arriving in front of a large building, Lu Li quickly found the location of the Principal's office; today was his first day joining Tiansheng Academy, so naturally, he had to pay his respects to the head of the academy first.

Zhao Xuanfeng!

The first Principal of Tiansheng Academy.

Born from the City Lord Mansion, he had managed the academy for nearly a hundred years!

Rumor had it that his cultivation had already surpassed the Lingzun Realm and reached the Martial Monarch level; he was one of the few super powerhouses in Qian Cheng.

Lu Li had already found this simple information online.

About to meet such a powerhouse, he felt no fear; instead, he felt a faint sense of excitement.

"Knock, knock..."

A few knocks sounded on the door.

"Come in!"

A voice came from inside.

Lu Li pushed open the door and walked in.

But at first glance, he saw a tall and graceful figure.

"Captain Zhao, why are you here?"

Lu Li was somewhat stunned.

"This is the academy; just call me Teacher Zhao," Zhao Tieyi smiled, then pointed to the old man on the recliner and said, "This is the Principal of Tiansheng Academy. It was he who asked me to find you to be the Vice Principal of the academy."

"Greetings, Principal."

After the initial shock.

Following Zhao Tieyi's guidance.

Lu Li nodded gently toward the old man.

He knew very well that the position of Vice Principal of Tiansheng Academy, which controlled the academy library—a sweet job that every Martial Dao family in Qian Cheng was fighting over—would have been impossible for him to obtain if the Principal hadn't spoken up.

"Young man, you should know the purpose of having you come here, right?" Zhao Xuanfeng asked with a smile, his eyes squinting.

"I will do my best," Lu Li said earnestly.

"That is good."

Zhao Xuanfeng nodded.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Tieyi and said with a kind face, "Tieyi, take him to the library and introduce it to him; that place will be under his management from now on."

"Yes, Dad."

Dad!

Lu Li was a bit bewildered!

He only knew that Zhao Tieyi was a captain in the army and a teacher at Tiansheng Academy, but he never expected her to have such an identity—the daughter of the Tiansheng Academy Principal. There couldn't be many people in all of Qian Cheng whose status was higher than hers, right?

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the library first."

Seeing that he was a bit stunned, Zhao Tieyi walked up to him and chuckled.

"Okay, okay!"

Lu Li snapped out of it and followed her out.

This identity was truly too stimulating!

A few minutes later.

Lu Li followed Zhao Tieyi to the outside of the library.

Along the way, Zhao Tieyi kept introducing things, giving him some understanding of the academy library.

The library was right in the center of Tiansheng Academy and was the core location!

It was under fully enclosed management and guarded personally by the Vice Principal. Anyone wanting to enter had to obtain the Vice Principal's consent and also possess enough points.

Points at Tiansheng Academy were very hard to obtain!

Apart from the twenty points gifted upon entering the academy, all other points had to be earned by completing corresponding tasks. Ordinary students couldn't even save up a hundred points by the time they graduated.

And entering the library once required consuming three hundred points!

"The library has many techniques and insights, categorized by floor. The first floor is for techniques and insights below the Martial Master level, the second floor is for Martial Master, the third floor is for Martial Spirit, and anything above Martial Spirit is on the fourth floor, which even the academy doesn't have many of. With your current cultivation, you can start perfecting from the first two floors."

As Zhao Tieyi spoke, she handed over a bunch of keys.

Lu Li took the keys and asked, "Then what else do I need to pay attention to?"

"As long as you don't take the techniques and insights out, there's nothing else of major concern. After all, no one dares to cause trouble at Tiansheng Academy," Zhao Tieyi said with a smile.

"That's simple enough," Lu Li nodded with a smile.

"It is indeed simple. Since you understand everything, I'll be leaving first. If you have any matters, just find me; I'm usually at the academy."

After saying this, Zhao Tieyi turned and left.

Lu Li didn't linger either.

Since they were both at the academy, they could meet whenever they wanted.

But thinking about Zhao Tieyi being the Principal's daughter, he suddenly felt immense pressure.

He shook his head.

Lu Li was too lazy to think about these things.

He opened the library door and walked in.

Lu Li did not stay on the first or second floors of the library but went straight to the third floor.

His cultivation had already broken through to the late Martial Master stage, reaching the Grandmaster realm; only techniques above Martial Spirit were useful to him. If he wanted to borrow experience to extend techniques, he had to start from there.

As for perfecting ordinary techniques, he could do that in his spare time.

Lu Li arrived at the third floor of the library.

He casually flipped out a technique and began to deduce and comprehend it.
