Chapter 356

"Zap!"

The protective shield emitted a piercing sound; the force accumulated from countless jumps caused a tiny crack to appear on the surface of the protective light shield Jiang Xia had casually formed.

At this moment, Ruyue Xian Tairan forcefully pressed the No. 1 switch on his right side, and an orange‑yellow rocket instantly erupted into a sky‑soaring flame behind him.

The rocket switch again strengthened the impact from Fourze; the accumulated terrifying acceleration made the cracking sound continue to ring.

Finally, the protective shield turned into countless fragments that scattered.

"Boom!"

Ruyue Xian Tairan, in the perfect position and with the utmost determination, collided with Orion and kicked it in the chest.

The protective shield was completely shattered, after all it was merely a casual light shield Jiang Xia formed based on Fourze's ability.

But if a human body surpasses Fourze's data, then this test would be considered a success.

Indeed, it surpassed it, and even went further, striking Jiang Xia.

With the explosion's roar, Ruyue Xian Tairan landed on the pristine floor, and the unclosable spring switch also vanished from Fourze's right leg.

He worked the switch with both hands, and as the familiar spatial portal lit up, the Fourze armor slowly disengaged.

The jump switch that had just been stuck on the Fourze driver was also removed at this time.

Afterward, Ruyue Xian Tairan turned to grab the Constellation Switch, recalling Ge Xing Xian Wu's popularization of knowledge about the Star Disciple.

To completely defeat the Star Disciple, one must turn off the Constellation Switch, and he was also curious as to who the unfamiliar face beneath the defeated Orion belonged to.

However, when he looked, the face was not unfamiliar; Ruyue Xian Tairan recognized it.

"Teacher… why are you Orion? You…" Ruyue Xian Tairan stared, momentarily speechless.

Jiang Xia, having dispelled his transformation, waved his hand, and Chengdao Youmu and Ge Xing Xian Wu, who had been floating mid‑air, were gently set down.

Teacher, if you're going to run a test like this next time, please give us a heads‑up beforehand.

After Ge Xing Xian Wu fell from mid‑air, he rubbed his shoulder and complained to Jiang Xia.

When you made that expression, I thought you had figured it out. Jiang Xia raised an eyebrow.

I thought it was just dismantling Fourze; I never imagined it would turn out like this. Ge Xing Xian Wu said.

Who would have thought? This must be a spur‑of‑the‑moment decision by you, Teacher—you're just playing with me!

Even someone with Ge Xing Xian Wu's temperament couldn't help but mentally complain about Jiang Xia; the teacher's personality is truly awful.

He loves to see people startled and jumping about, but Ge Xing Xian Wu still kept his head down on the surface.

Damn, not even a hint of anger—we're screwed.

Little Xian, it's like this—Teacher is doing it for….

After landing, Chengdao Youmu also explained the relevant reasons to Ruyue Xian Tairan.

It was precisely to let him gain control of the Leap Switch that they were deliberately captured; Xian Wu had known this all along, but they couldn't speak.

The Constellation Switch was just developed by the teacher; he isn't really the enemy.

Phew, I told you—how could the teacher be a Star Disciple? You scared me!

Ruyue Xian Tairan, still shaken, rubbed his chest; he could never act against a friend, let alone a teacher.

Now that we know the teacher isn't a Star Disciple, it's wonderful—so wonderful he just wants to take a nap here and sleep soundly.

"Ruyue, hand over the Leap Switch; this switch still needs some adjustment."

"Huh? Okay, here you go."

Ruyue Xian Tairan passed the switch from his pocket to Ge Xing Xian Wu.

"Thanks."

Ge Xing Xian Wu felt that the Fourze just now was a bit off, but he couldn't pinpoint the problem; he was curious, and curiosity is the soul of a researcher.

Is it because of the issue with Ruyue using Fourze?

In fact, he no longer opposes Ruyue Xian Tairan using Fourze. Although it was just a test, he could clearly feel Ruyue's feelings for his friends even through the shield, so he now believes that Jiang Xia's decision to give Fourze to Ruyue was indeed a good choice.

"Now your problem is solved, but mine isn't yet."

Jiang Xia looked at Ruyue Xian Tairan slumped in his chair and Chengdao Youmu reading a space‑related magazine, then announced an important matter.

After saying that, Jiang Xia clearly saw that Ruyue Xian Tairan, who had been about to fall asleep, instantly had his eyes clear, while Chengdao Youmu quickly closed the magazine and, at the same moment, turned their head to listen seriously to Jiang Xia's words.

They wanted to hear what kind of problem could stump the teacher; obviously, they were extremely curious.

Meanwhile, Ge Xing Xian Wu, who was adjusting the switch in the distance, silently stopped his actions, pricked up his ears, which caused the test data just gathered on the switch to be completely invalidated—but he doesn't mind now.

"My problem is, you two…"

As Jiang Xia drew out the tail of his words, their curiosity was gradually piqued.

What exactly is the problem?

"You two need to go to class now; skipping class is wrong." Jiang Xia said lightly.

"Pfft." Ge Xing Xian Wu, who had been listening attentively, suddenly burst out laughing—he just knew.

Ge Xing Xian Wu helplessly shook his head and continued with his work, because attending class wouldn't affect him today.

"What? We still have to go to class! No way."

Ruyue Xian Tairan let out a wail—he never goes to class, okay? The very idea of attending class is far removed from him.

He recalled that back in the day, he once single‑handedly took on a club, fighting from the school's north gate all the way to the south gate, battling an entire day and night without even blinking.

Really, not even a blink—and now, having just been a Kamen Rider who defeated Orion, he has to go back to class? What kind of joke is this? "The teacher's right, I'll go right away." Chengdao Youmu, truly a good‑girl, immediately put down the magazine, stood up, and raised her hand in promise.

"Little Xian, let's go to class."

Chengdao Youmu grabbed Ruyue Xian Tairan's arm, trying to pull him away—resisting the teacher is basically impossible.

But Ruyue Xian Tairan clearly still wanted to struggle; he pointed at Ge Xing Xian Wu's back and said, "Teacher, Xian Wu also has to go to class—he's been skipping too."

That's what brothers are like—reporting each other in a full set; true brothers share hardships.

"No, Ruyue, I've let you down—I took the day off, a sick leave; I just didn't go to the infirmary."

Ge Xing Xian Wu said with a smile: "Be good and go to class; the Star Disciple will notify you when they appear."

His words were like a bolt of lightning striking Ruyue Xian Tairan, splitting him apart completely.

"No, this isn't real?"

Ruyue Xian Tairan turned his head again, pleadingly looking at Jiang Xia, hoping for a completely different answer.

"It's a pity, but it's true, so be good and go to class; Teacher Tianyuan is waiting for you."

Jiang Xia's words became the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing Ruyue Xian Tairan to completely abandon any thought of resistance, and he was dragged away by Chengdao Youmu, his face ashen.

He obediently followed Jiang Xia to the teaching building to attend class.

"What are those people gathering for?"

As Jiang Xia led the two truants toward the teaching building, he suddenly saw a large crowd gathered on the passageway in front of the stone pavilion—all of them students.

He didn't use any supernatural abilities, because cheating would be boring—just like using cheats in a game, it feels good at first but quickly becomes dull.

He has a lifespan two hundred times that of an ordinary person; if he kept cheating all the time, he might die of boredom.

"Oh, today is the day the Empress chooses, so they're all preparing to vote," Chengdao Youmu tilted her head, thinking, "Surely it's Senior Fengcheng who will win again."

"If I'm not mistaken, Fengcheng Meiyu should be Da Wen Yushun's girlfriend," Jiang Xia mused.

"That's right."

Chengdao Youmu looked at Jiang Xia puzzled and said, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

"You two go to class; I'm going to find some fun."

"Huh?"
