Chapter 113 – I Am One! (2/2)

Two students, he now has two students——this was the highest number of students enrolled into his course in his ten years of teaching how to slay dragons.

Since Lu Qiji already registered, the elder did not try to persuade anymore. He quickly wrote down Chu Xun's name, handed him a wooden number plate and said: “You live at the second room with the symbol dragon.”

Chu Xun grabbed the plate, trotting after Lu Qiji.

Kong Li's and Xiahou Qianbai's face turned red from embarra.s.sment, they still do not have a student but Bookworm has two students now. Thinking of before when they told Bookworm that he'd never recruit any students, they felt as if they had been slapped in the face in public.

Fortunately, student Li Muyang whom they both have a preference on has not yet made a final choice.

So, both Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai's eyes were fixed on Li Muyang.

“Student Li Muyang, have you decided? Buddhism is practiced all around the world, come to our side? I promise I will teach you everything I know——Did you not achieve first place in West Wind Kingdom? You're good at liberal arts, I guarantee later you will become a strong person of Starry Sky like Li Qiubai and Du Ruofu——-” Kong Li held onto his tall hat as he said amiably.

“Taoist is free and unconstrained, free to do as they wish. Practice is even straightforward, you may only need to dream while you're sleeping, then when you wake up, you will become one of the strongest in the world. Choose Taoism, I promise you will not suffer, not be fooled———”

“We Buddhists pay particular attention to a moment of enlightenment, such as picking up and obtain a red-spider lily overnight.”

“Sun and moon are bright without being ignited, stars exist without being arranged, birds and animals are born without being man-made, wind automatically blows without fanning, water flows without being pushed, vegetation grows without being planted, breathe without breathing, heart beats it self, and so on——–Everything in existence is reasoned.”

Li Muyang was nearly swayed when he thought about his physical condition. Taoism may be able to help him dispel his doubts?

“Teachers——–” Bookworm became dissatisfied with the noise the two teachers were causing, which would affect the image of the school. “It's the student's own choice.”

“You shut up.” Kong Li snarled. “Li Muyang is my disciple.”

“Hey, is this robbery now? He is already my disciple.” Xiahou Qianbai began to fight back.

“What evidence do you have?”

“What about you, what evidence do you have?”

“———” Bookworm was once again not left with an opportunity to uter a word.

———-

Li Muyang stood in front of the elder, his lips curved into an awkward smile as he said: “That——is there tuition fees to be paid after admission?”

“Tuition fees? No there isn't. Clothing, food, housing and transport are provided by the school. Of course, this is only to ensure your basic needs, if you want to enjoy a better life, it is necessary to pay yourself——-some students bring their own cook.”

“I understand.” Li Muyang nodded then whispered: “I was the first place in West Wind Kingdom's imperial exams, is there scholars.h.i.+p?”

“——–”

Seeing that the elder did not answer, Li Muyang quickly waved his hand and said: “Never mind, I was just asking casually——-I have also decided to major in Dragon Slaying.”

“What?'

Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai, in the midst of fighting, yelled out at the same time, even Bookworm standing next to them was stunned by Li Muyang's words.

“Li Muyang, why are you like that?” Kong Li felt his heart aching: “Where does dragons exist in this world? Learning a true ability is the smart move here.”

“Although the legend of dragon warriors resounds throughout the continent, but legend is a legend after all, legend will always be a dream——there's no dragons, it will be useless learning it. There's still time to change your mind, I can personally be your teacher, mentor, and make sure you receive the scholars.h.i.+p every year——”

“Student Li Muyang, teacher is doing this for your own good———”

“Even if you don't select my course, choose Buddhism——If not, then study music and painting or even ancient literature. If you become famous through music and painting, you may also have the opportunity to became a mighty person, If you're like this——it's the same as giving up and abandoning yourself——-Li Muyang, there's no dragon, this world has no dragons—–” Xiahou Qianbai's eyes were turning red, why does these students don't cherish themselves? Decades later when they think of this day they will regret it so much.

“——–I am one.” Li Muyang wanted to pat his chest loudly and shout at the top of his voice.
