Chapter 87

"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 in the past,

then they would have nothing to say.

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

Perhaps that wasn't entirely accurate, but... they didn't care about that.

Their half-dead Evolutionist Department had finally welcomed such a top-tier evolutionist prodigy...

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

Although Zhan Zhan Wushuang didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on Xu Zi'an; his restless, eager-to-fight 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 is named Xia Xia Dongliu. Do you gentlemen know him?"

The angry expressions of the few men suddenly froze on their faces.

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

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 Xia Dongliu is your Master???"

Xu Zi'an nodded.

The men looked at each other in dismay.

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

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 taken extremely seriously.

Age didn't matter, only seniority!

Looking at Xu Zi'an's bewildered expression,

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

"Master Xia 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, most of those who are older have 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 Zhan Wushuang now appeared listless and waved his hand: "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 Wars, do you?"

Zhan Zhan Wushuang stared at Xu Zi'an and asked.

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

"From now on, I will be your mentor for Star Wars. Any problems?"

Seeming to feel he was being too overbearing and fearing he might provoke Xu Zi'an's youthful rebellious streak,

he immediately added: "There is absolutely no problem with me being your mentor for Star Wars!"

"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 Wars or personal combat, if I, Zhan 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 Wars and personal combat."

"I know your talent in Star Wars and personal combat is extremely high, but that's only for 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 Wars mentor.

Especially since Zhan Zhan Wushuang did indeed look very impressive.

At the very least, the three teachers from the Evolutionist Department seemed a bit cowardly in front of Zhan Zhan Wushuang?

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

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

Without further thought, he immediately cupped his hands, bowed, and said: "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 Zhan Wushuang was now completely satisfied, patted Xu Zi'an on the shoulder, and grinned from ear to ear: "Good, good."

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

"Also, collect what belongs to you."

"We'll have a good chat when we have time later."

"Go on now!"

Xu Zi'an nodded.

Zhan 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,

Xu Zi'an still belonged to their Evolutionist Department!

Any achievements he made in the future would also have a share for their Evolutionist Department!

Good thing, good thing!

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

There would be plenty of time to get to know him later.

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 Xu Zi'an up.

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 closely just now.

This senior student...

was actually a female Rabbit-kin!

Those rabbit ears were the most obvious sign.

White ears with a hint of pink inside, naturally drooping down, looking extremely beautiful.

And this senior student seemed to be extremely beautiful as well.

Although it was just a fleeting glance, it was enough to amaze Xu Zi'an.
