Chapter 2023: Grand Dao Tea (2/2)

“Wasteful indeed.” The other students laughed and agreed. One of them continued: “If it was me, I’m satisfied with just grabbing an eight-dao leaf. That’s definitely a life-saver during a crucial moment.”

Six-sword replied with a sigh: “That’s difficult, I think four-dao is my limit.”

“I can’t do much better than you either, Brother.” Rumination shook his head and said.

The Three Scions had a great relations.h.i.+p and an implicit agreement with each other. Six-sword was the leader of Hundred Halls; Rumination had Sacred Inst.i.tution; Freesky Young Lord owned Emperor Mansion. Because of this, the three cla.s.srooms rarely fought against each other. Each leader would often back off or gave the others some face.

Of course, Study Room and Mortal School weren’t part of this group.

“Is there anyone in our academy that can take down an eight-dao leaf?” One curious student asked.

The young king and G.o.dchild glanced at each other. Eventually, the former smiled wryly and said: “Maybe none among our student body. But as for the young ones, I personally think Teacher Qianxuan and Teacher Qihang have this ability. As for the older teachers? Who knows.”

Many students nodded in agreement and said: “You’re right. Teacher Qianxuan and Teacher Qihang are the strongest among the young generation; their talents are the best too.”

“I heard recently, Study Room got a new teacher named Li Qiye who is very young too. And as you know, to be a teacher as such a young age means that he should be supremely talented. Maybe he can grab an eight-dao leaf as well.” One student from Sacred Inst.i.tution quietly added.

The two scions were not happy to hear this so their expression darkened. Six-sword had grievances with Li Qiye while G.o.dchild was not happy to see him so close to Mei Suyao.

“A young teacher is not necessarily strong. The world is unpredictable, plus, if he’s really that strong, he wouldn’t be a teacher at Study Room; that place only has a few random n.o.bodies. Look at Teacher Qiheng, he’s so young yet he can lecture at Sacred Inst.i.tution? Now that’s a real genius. No one would dare to question his abilities.” Someone who was close to Rumination purposely disparaged Li Qiye.

“Well yeah, no one with a sane mind would want to be a teacher in Study Room.” Another chimed in: “That’s like being banished to the border. Maybe his performance was bad so he got delegated to that place.”

“Anyways, Teacher Qiheng shouldn’t have a problem taking an eight-dao leaf.” A student changed the topic: “I heard Virtuous got a nine-dao one back then.”

“Indeed.” Both the scions were full of reverence after hearing this name. After all, Virtuous was the pride of the human race in this generation.

“Teacher Qiheng and Virtuous were the top students from the same cla.s.s. Maybe the gap between them is quite small.” Another student immediately mentioned.

“Even a supreme genius like Virtuous can only do nine-dao? Who else can get ten, or even eleven and twelve?” One more brought this up.

“Hmm, most teachers and Immortal Emperors don’t have their records written down. However, our academy did have one student capable of grabbing a ten-dao leaf.” The knowledgeable G.o.dchild pondered and revealed.

“Who?!” All the students here became interested.

“Abyssal Lunatic.” Rumination slowly uttered the name for emphasis.

“Lunatic. An eleven-totem High G.o.d, famous at the same time as my father.” The young king nodded.

“I have seen records about him. He used to be the most arrogant student at the academy and one of the most talented.” Someone else in the crowd said emotionally: “I heard he wasn’t convinced that the teachers were better than him and thought no one in this world was qualified to teach him.”

“Yea, he’s a famous High G.o.d of our hundred races. The guy was arrogant enough to go and challenge Mortal Reversion Ancient G.o.d in order to take his position. Alas, no news about anything afterward, people think the Ancient G.o.d killed him.” Another student from a great power said.

Everyone was quiet when Mortal Reversion was brought up. There weren’t that many Ancient G.o.ds around but this wasn’t the only thing. He also had the Human-monarch bloodline. That’s the truly heaven-defying part.
