Chapter 194

"Xu Zi'an, tell us, when did you become a disciple of that mentor of yours?"

The three old men asked with narrowed eyes.

If Xu Zi'an had become a disciple long ago,

then they would have nothing to say.

But if Xu Zi'an had become a disciple only after his talent as an evolutionist became widely known, then there was a suspicion of poaching from their Shenzhou Academy.

Perhaps saying it that way wasn't entirely accurate, but... they didn't care about that much.

Their half-dead Evolutionist Department had finally welcomed such a top-tier, monstrously talented evolutionist...

Whether they could raise the department's ranking slightly depended on him.

Although Zhan Wushuang didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on Xu Zi'an, and his eager, restless demeanor made him look like a violent individual.

Xu Zi'an answered honestly: "I became a disciple a long time ago."

"At that time, the special recruitment exam hadn't even taken place yet."

"Also, my Master's name is Xia Dongliu. Do you teachers know him?"

The angry expressions on the men's faces suddenly froze.

Zhan Wushuang slowly opened his mouth wide, his restless movements instantly stiffening.

He just stared blankly at Xu Zi'an like that.

After a long while.

The thin old man asked with a tremor: "Y-you say your Master is who??? Xia, Xia Dongliu is your Master???"

Xu Zi'an nodded.

The men looked at each other in dismay.

Zhan Wushuang was speechless.

Another long while passed.

The old men's expressions were strange.

But they still sighed.

With strange expressions, they actually cupped their hands and bowed to Xu Zi'an: "Greetings, Little Martial Uncle!"

Zhan Wushuang opened his mouth, finally gave a light cough, and turned his head away slightly.

Xu Zi'an was stunned.

He knew his Master was very impressive.

But...

Was this not a bit too impressive!

The evolutionist circle had strict hierarchies, and seniority was viewed with extreme importance.

Age didn't matter, only seniority!

Looking at Xu Zi'an's bewildered expression.

The bald old man rubbed his own bald head and smiled bitterly: "Little Martial Uncle, you don't know."

"Master Xia Dongliu is the pride of our entire Earth Federation!"

"Let's put it this way: as long as they are evolutionists of our Earth Federation, the older ones have mostly all heard Master Xia lecture."

"As long as one has heard his lectures, one is a student... and as Master Xia's disciple, your seniority is higher than ours, so you must be our Little Martial Uncle."

Xu Zi'an suddenly understood.

Zhan Wushuang now appeared completely dispirited, waving his hand and saying: "Alright, alright, go and register."

"Bai Xiaoyuan, Xu Zi'an is handed over to you; take him to familiarize himself with this place later."

"I have matters to attend to, so I'm leaving... Xu Zi'an, you don't have a mentor for star warfare, do you?"

Zhan Wushuang stared at Xu Zi'an and asked.

Seeing Xu Zi'an shake his head, Zhan Wushuang was immediately satisfied, nodding: "That's good, that's good..."

"From now on, I will be your mentor for star warfare. Any problems?"

Seeming to feel he was being too overbearing and fearing it might provoke a rebellious streak in the youth.

He immediately added hurriedly: "I am absolutely qualified to be your mentor in star warfare!"

"You saw that deep-space ship outside, right? It's mine!"

"I am a bona fide deep-space ship captain with War Emperor-level strength!"

"Whether it's star warfare or personal combat, if I, Zhan Wushuang, say I'm second among the school's teachers, who dares to say they're first?"

"You won't lose out by taking me as your mentor!"

"Additionally, I will carefully teach you knowledge and experience in star warfare and personal combat."

"I know your talent in star warfare and personal combat is exceptionally high, but that's only in the context of scout ships and Warrior-level combat!"

"You may not necessarily understand higher-level combat methods."

Xu Zi'an shook his head helplessly.

He certainly had no issues with a star warfare mentor.

Especially since Zhan Wushuang looked truly impressive.

At the very least, the three teachers from the Evolutionist Department seemed rather timid in front of Zhan Wushuang?

And being a bona fide deep-space ship captain, he naturally had no problem taking him as a mentor.

After all, other students couldn't even get him to be their mentor if they wanted to!

Thinking no more, he immediately cupped his hands, bowed, and called out: "Disciple Xu Zi'an, greets Master."

'Mentor' was just a modern term for Master, or rather, a term used in school.

In reality, Xu Zi'an preferred to call him Master.

But whether it was mentor or Master, it was the same; he could call him whatever he wanted, it didn't matter.

Zhan Wushuang was now completely satisfied, patted Xu Zi'an on the shoulder, and smiled until the corners of his mouth reached his ears: "Good, good."

"You follow your senior student and familiarize yourself with this place first."

"Also, collect the things that belong to you."

"After that, when we have time, we'll have a good chat."

"For now, you go ahead!"

Xu Zi'an nodded.

Zhan Wushuang left happily.

The three old men shook their heads with regret, but soon left in high spirits as well.

Although it was a pity they hadn't taken Xu Zi'an as a disciple.

But Xu Zi'an belonged to their Evolutionist Department!

Any achievement he attained in the future would also be a credit to their Evolutionist Department!

A good thing, a good thing!

They wouldn't disturb him today, lest they scare him and drive him to another department.

There would be plenty of time to get to know him in the future.

The men left one after another.

Leaving only Xu Zi'an and that senior student he hadn't paid attention to.

At this moment, he looked at the senior student, who was also curiously sizing up Xu Zi'an.

Seeing Xu Zi'an look over, she was startled and hurriedly lowered her head, her little face...

unknowingly turning slightly red.

Xu Zi'an was stunned for a moment.

He had looked carefully just now.

This senior student...

was actually a Rabbit-kin girl!

Those two rabbit ears were the most obvious sign.

White ears with a hint of pink inside, the pair of rabbit ears hanging down naturally, looking extremely beautiful.

And this senior student also seemed to be extremely beautiful.

Even though it was just a fleeting glance, it was enough to stun Xu Zi'an.
