Chapter 112: True Warrior! (Cultivation)

According to the navigation's arrow, Ying Duo quickly located the only classroom that still had a few people among the empty ones.

He stood outside the door and could see a dense array of dialogue boxes popping up inside, filled with various complex energy circuit overlay principles.

The content looked impressive, but he couldn't understand it.

He ignored the dialogue boxes, gently pushed open the heavy back door, slipped into the classroom, moving silently like a ghost sliding into shadow.

The classroom was large, seating about thirty to forty students, with only one empty seat; it seemed everyone was present except Ying Duo.

At the podium, a male teacher in his thirties with meticulously combed hair stood with his back to the back door, sketching complex energy flow diagrams on the screen.

His explanation was clear but fast‑paced, evidently deep; many students frowned, listening attentively, trying to keep up.

Ying Duo's gaze swept the classroom and quickly locked onto the navigation arrow's final target.

The last row, the sole empty seat near the window.

Perfect—a standard "protagonist's seat."

He felt no need to avoid disturbing anyone, entered the classroom, and walked straight to that empty seat.

That head of Ying Guang Lu hair, especially amid the dark school uniforms and natural hair colors, was like a neon light ignited in the darkness.

Yet even so, the students struggling in the sea of knowledge didn't notice the person drifting behind them at all.

Of course, one person was an exception.

Gu Siyuan, associate professor of the Manufacturing Department at Mitra Academy, is renowned for his profound expertise in energy circuits and weapon design, and his extremely rigorous teaching attitude.

He was currently at a crucial point, discussing a method to extract and compress energy from energy crystals.

Suddenly, his extraordinary vision—【Structural Analysis Pupil】—passively detected an abrupt energy disturbance.

His aberrant arts are not combat‑oriented but a rare 【Analysis】; in his eyes, the world is often composed of countless Data Streams and energy charts.

But that thing couldn't be captured with his aberrant arts at all.

The moment his peripheral vision caught it, it almost silenced him.

That dazzling streak of Ying Guang Lu then walked straight in through the back door, heading directly toward the only spot in the classroom.

Gu Siyuan: "......"

When his eyes go blind?

His lecturing voice paused briefly, but he didn't turn around immediately; instead, he activated his aberrant arts through his peripheral vision.

As the homeroom teacher, Gu Siyuan naturally knew what his "new student" had gone through in the few days since school started.

First, he was summoned by the Heresy Tribunal for a tea, and upon returning to school, discovered that his brain issues stemmed from prolonged intimate contact with a Mutation Source.

He was also curious how this kid let the Mutation Source exist in such a strange form on his head, even becoming almost harmless.

The analysis quickly formed in his mind: a young lifeform with active energy reactions, but… very strange.

Under his special vision, Ying Duo seemed surrounded by countless fine, almost transparent "threads."

These threads were not solid; they extended from Ying Duo's key body points straight upward, piercing the classroom ceiling, the layers of the building, and kept extending…

…until beyond the sky beyond his sight.

A puppet? Or… some remotely controlled aberrant‑art creation?

A startling thought flashed through Gu Siyuan's mind, but he couldn't see the end of the threads nor determine the operator's position or intent.

He slowly turned, his gaze precisely locking onto the striking Ying Guang Lu source that had just sat in the last row by the window.

The students, initially puzzled by the teacher's sudden pause, now followed his gaze backward and realized a person had appeared in the classroom unnoticed.

"Wow... green fur?"

"When did he come in? He wasn't here before class, right?"

"It's that Ying Duo, right? The one who almost blew up the test field in legend?"

Whispers rose like a tide.

Gu Siyuan squinted, fully activating his aberrant arts to probe more of Ying Duo's secrets, but the invisible "threads" formed an excellent shield, blocking further probing.

He could only see a body supported by energy, moving freely, and the hair emitting a faint mutation.

He nudged his frameless glasses on his nose, and his cold voice broke the whispers, echoing clearly in every corner.

"The green‑haired student at the back."

His voice was low but carried undeniable authority; all the students fell silent instantly.

"If I recall correctly… you're called Ying Duo, right?"

In an instant, all eyes refocused on Ying Duo, and the classroom air seemed to solidify.

Ying Duo lifted his head, golden eyes meeting Gu Siyuan's cold stare; his face expressionless, he simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Gu Siyuan, seeing his obliviousness to the seriousness, frowned.

"My class may not be the most interesting in the academy, but it at least demands the most basic seriousness from students, whether out of respect for knowledge or basic courtesy to the instructor and fellow classmates for their time."

He paused, his gaze pressing on Ying Duo like a solid weight.

"If you can't even muster this basic attitude and think my class is a place you can come and go as you please…"

Gu Siyuan's voice suddenly rose.

"Then, now, please roll out of my classroom."

Ying Duo: "......"

Is this really a good thing?!

No hesitation needed at all.

The instant Gu Siyuan's words finished, under the stunned stare of all classmates, Ying Duo sprang up with a "swish," moving decisively without any hesitation or lingering.

He didn't even glance back at Gu Siyuan, turned and walked toward the back door, steps light as if not expelled but hitting the jackpot.

That Ying Guang Lu hair, with his swift motion, traced a dazzling arc in the air.

He became a green lightning bolt, darting out of the back door in an instant, disappearing at the end of the hallway.

The whole process was smooth and fluid, from standing up to disappearing, taking less than three seconds total.

The classroom fell into a deathly silence.

Buddy, you're a warrior.

All the students widened their eyes at once.

Although Professor Gu Siyuan's class is profound and somewhat hard to understand, if one studies it seriously, one will find it truly useful.

Moreover, Professor Gu Siyuan's class is notoriously strict, so naturally no one dares to challenge his authority.

So, this is true bravery!
