Chapter 107: Emerald-Eyed Emperor Snake (Second update, requesting first subscription)

After leaving the classroom, Li Zhangsheng followed Instructor He Yan the whole way; he still had questions to ask.

Before Li Zhangsheng could step forward, Instructor He Yan suddenly stopped.

"Is there something?" As a Fifth-tier Beastmaster, He Yan's five senses were far superior to an ordinary person's, and she easily discovered that Li Zhangsheng was following her.

He Yan naturally recognized Li Zhangsheng; it was not just because Li Zhangsheng had achieved three "best" titles and ranked first among the freshmen, but also because, under her secret "matchmaking," he had become the student of her good friend, Ning Bizhen.

"Instructor, I would like to ask a question."

"Speak if you have something to say!" He Yan appeared a bit impatient. She was usually very patient, but today a King had fallen, so she was naturally extremely anxious, fearing it was a King from the Langya Kingdom who had fallen.

"Teacher, did my instructor also participate in the battle three years ago?"

He Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I know what you want to ask. That's right, her injuries were sustained at that time!

Three years ago, Instructor Ning graduated with the status of a Fifth-tier Student, which caused a sensation at the time. After all, in the history of our Academy, there have only been a few Fifth-tier graduates in total!

After graduating, Instructor Ning chose to stay at the school and became an instructor at our Battle Academy."

Instructor He Yan was no longer anxious; she seemed lost in thought as she continued: "Originally, with her talent and aptitude, she undoubtedly possessed the potential of a King. Unfortunately, Heaven is jealous of talent. At that time, the second Abyss Gate was about to open, and the landing site was in the heart of Yuan Prefecture. Instructor Ning and we rushed to the battlefield together. You know what happened afterward: two Demon Commanders appeared, causing the King of the Cover to fall and the Viceroy to die. With the group leaderless, the Yuan Prefecture 'Coalition Army' collapsed, showing signs of a rout.

At that time, the previous Principal and several Sixth-tier high-level officials resolutely stayed behind to cover the retreat, fighting to the death to intercept the Demon Commanders, leaving the hope of survival to us. But the Demon Commanders were truly too powerful; even though the Principal and the others fought to the death to intercept them, it was of no avail in the face of absolute strength, and they were soon killed by the Demon Commanders."

"While escaping at that time, Instructor Ning was riding her Life-Bound Demon Pet, the Three-Legged Fire Crow, carrying us few burdens to escape for our lives.

But under the huge disparity in strength, coupled with the drag of us burdens, our speed was naturally far inferior to the Demon Commanders, and it looked like we were about to be caught.

Instructor Ning Bizeng did not abandon us. In order to escape the pursuit of the Demon Commanders, she resolutely ordered the Three-Legged Fire Crow to burn its Three-Legged Golden Crow Bloodline, forcibly executing the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique, and finally succeeded in escaping the range of the Demon Domain.

The Demon Commander did not pursue further, because once it left the range of the Demon Domain, it would inevitably be suppressed by the World Rule; the stronger the strength, the greater the suppression received. A Demon Commander that has left the Demon Domain can only exert strength slightly stronger than a Sixth-tier Beastmaster."

"Burning the bloodline!" Li Zhangsheng frowned; he had already vaguely guessed the reason.

"Yes, the Three-Legged Fire Crow almost exhausted its bloodline power and fell into a near-death state, with the possibility of death at any time. In order to let her Life-Bound Demon Pet escape the danger, Instructor Ning used the Soul Grafting Secret Technique, completely binding her soul with the Three-Legged Fire Crow to maintain the Three-Legged Fire Crow's injuries. But this caused great damage to Instructor Ning; she can only be awake for half a day every three days, and the rest of the time she must fall into a deep sleep. Furthermore, due to the burden of the Three-Legged Fire Crow, she cannot continue to cultivate, let alone advance.

In these three years, we have tried every possible method, but we have been unable to recover the Three-Legged Fire Crow's injuries. At most, we can only delay it, but in Instructor Ning's state, I fear she cannot hold on for much longer.

I am telling you this not because I hope you can find a way to recover the Three-Legged Fire Crow's injuries, but because I hope you can treat your instructor well and not let her feel disappointed.

If you can represent the Academy in the Exchange Tournament and maintain the status of the Four Great Academies, I believe your instructor will be very happy!"

After finishing speaking, Instructor He Yan left in a hurry.

Looking at Instructor He Yan's back, Li Zhangsheng was still somewhat dazed and did not recover for a moment.

Instructor Ning Bizhen's deeds could be called great. Facing the impending danger, she did not abandon her friends, but instead chose to sacrifice herself. This noble sentiment was deeply imprinted in Li Zhangsheng's mind, hard to forget.

Without a doubt, Instructor Ning's character was very steadfast, and this was also Li Zhangsheng's good fortune.

"Sigh!"

Accompanied by a sigh, Li Zhangsheng left the Teaching Building and went straight to Tianlu Pavilion.

Tianlu Pavilion has three floors and houses countless classics, but it has rules. First-tier Students like Li Zhangsheng can only view the classics on the first floor and cannot enter the second floor, and so on. Only when a student reaches the Third Rank will there no longer be such restrictions.

At the entrance of Tianlu Pavilion stood a bulletin board with portraits of the high-level officials of Yuanling Academy, and under each portrait was their basic information.

Li Zhangsheng glanced at it casually. Suddenly, his eyes froze. Located on the left was the portrait of Vice Principal Xu Wenhua, followed by the three Academy Deans, Vice Deans, Directors, and so on.

The problem was, on the left side of Vice Principal Xu, a blank space was specifically left.

"Strange, why is there no Principal?" Li Zhangsheng looked again; there was indeed no portrait of a Principal, and there was only one Vice Principal.

What was going on?

Just at this moment, a lazy voice sounded: "It's very simple, because our Academy has no Principal! Ever since the previous Principal fell, the position of Principal should have been taken over by Vice Principal Xu, but unfortunately, he refused. To this day, I still remember his speech at that time: 'From today on, Yuanling Academy has no Principal until the moment it returns to its former glory; then I will be this Principal!'"

Although there is only a one-character difference between Principal and Vice Principal, there is still a significant gap in status and treatment. Who could have imagined that Vice Principal Xu would refuse to serve as Principal?

Li Zhangsheng turned his head to look. The speaker was a handsome young man with a smile on his lips, revealing two shallow dimples, giving people a harmless feeling.

Most eye-catching was a three-inch-long white snake coiled around the young man's neck.

The white snake had no trace of other colors and had a pair of eyes like emeralds. Its gaze was cold and sharp. Most peculiarly, there were several bumps under the white snake's belly, as if something was about to break through its belly.

Seeing the abnormality of the white snake, Li Zhangsheng subconsciously released his Mental Power and began to check its data.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhangsheng was quite surprised. His heart beat violently a few times, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide the look of shock on his face.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Emerald-Eyed Emperor Snake (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Leader 3rd Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Cold Flood Dragon (Thick)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Ice

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wind

Following Zhao Shuyi's Three-Tailed Snow Fox, this was the second time Li Zhangsheng had seen a top-grade quality Demon Pet, and coincidentally, both were Ice Attribute Demon Pets.

Compared to the Three-Tailed Snow Fox, the Emerald-Eyed Emperor Snake was clearly more excellent. Not only was it a Leader-level Demon Pet, but it also possessed a thick Cold Flood Dragon bloodline and was of the High-level Commander race.

Without a doubt, this was the best Demon Pet Li Zhangsheng had ever seen to date.

Unfortunately, it was someone else's Demon Pet!

The Emerald-Eyed Emperor Snake was extremely aggressive. As soon as it sensed Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power, it suddenly raised its head. Its snake tongue flickered slightly, and its cold eyes stared tightly at Li Zhangsheng, with a tendency to launch an attack at any time.

Can't afford to offend! Can't afford to offend!

This was Li Zhangsheng's first thought. His movements were not slow; he hurriedly retracted his Mental Power while secretly warning himself that he must keep a distance before using Mental Power to spy in the future, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

A big shot!

This was Li Zhangsheng's second thought. Judging from the young man's attire, the other party was a fourth-year student, and being able to control a Leader-level Emerald-Eyed Emperor Snake all indicated that the young man had reached at least the level of a Fourth-rank Demon Tamer.
