Chapter 27 The Unique Xue Ying! (2/2)
“It was slightly noisy, but wasn’t it extremely interesting?” Bai Xiaofei chuckled. Playing with so many others of the same age was something that was unimaginable in the Gorge of Heroes.
“Yes….” Lin Li replied lightly, and her slightly stiff face revealed a trace of a smile.
It seemed as if being able to come into contact with so many people of the same generation was something new to Lin Li as well, and this was something that could be discerned from her completely obvious expressions.
“Since everyone is here, then I’ll start the class officially now.” On the lectern, Xue Ying’s bearing still carried the formal feeling from at the entrance of the classroom earlier, and her icy cold face didn’t reveal the slightest fluctuation of feelings.
“Firstly, I want to stress on one thing. If anyone dares to be late again, I’ll absolutely make that person suffer the consequences!” As she spoke, Xue Ying swept Bai Xiaofei and the other three with her gaze, and an unprecedented feeling of embarrassment gushed into Bai Xiaofei’s heart.
“Of course, the four from today can’t escape this fate as well.I won’t allow it a single time! Even if it’s something I haven’t stressed upon, so long as anyone makes me unhappy, then that person will absolutely suffer!”
A shapeless pressure was intentionally exerted by Xue Ying to descend onto every single student in the class, and even Lin Li who was at the Master Rank felt a trace of pressure.
But, Bai Xiaofei and Lin Li weren’t very uncomfortable as both of them had experienced pressures that were much stronger than this.
“Alright, no I need someone to answer my first question. What’s the most important quality to a puppet master?” As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Ying started scanning her gaze up and down the students in the entire class, and besides Bai Xiaofei and Lin Li, everyone else had fallen into deep contemplation at the same time.
“Chen Hui, you answer it.” Chen Hui stood up directly when being named by Xue Ying, and he replied with a solemn expression. “The essence, energy, body, spirit, heart, and Origin Energy determine a puppet master’s strength, whereas, the spirit is the root, the Origin Energy is the foundation, and the heart is the core. So, I think these three things are the most important to a puppet master.” A trace of a confident expression had already appeared on Chen Hui’s face when he finished speaking because it was impossible to find a problem with an answer like this no matter where it was, and the reason was that it was common knowledge.
“Well done. But, this isn’t what I want to teach all of you today.” Xue Ying had already charged to arrive instantly before Chen Hui before her voice finished resounding in the air, and a dagger that had suddenly appeared in her hand lay horizontally on Chen Hui’s throat.
For a time, everyone was stunned on their seats, whereas, Chen Hui even started shaking uncontrollably.
As she put the dagger away slowly, Xue Ying started to move around in the classroom, and no matter who she passed, she would tap the dagger on that person’s table.
“No matter how formidable your puppets area, they would be useless if you don’t have the chance to utilize them. How to utilize puppets is something your new teachers will pass down to all of you after you’ve been divided into streams, whereas, I only want to pass down a single thing to all of you.” Xue Ying had already walked back to the lectern when she stopped moving, and the dagger in her hand was struck into the lectern before her with a clang.
“Survival!” As soon as this word was spoken, everyone in the classroom was stunned, and even Bai Xiaofei who was accustomed to departing from established practices had never imagined that there would be such a statement.
But when he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Xue Ying said at all.
“If one wants to survive in the complicated conditions of battle, then a puppet master must counter an innate weakness — The weakness of the puppet master’s own body!” Xue Ying started to expound on her unique idea, and at the very least, this was absolutely impossible to find in any of the other new student classes. Besides Xue Ying, all the teachers of the new students were speaking about the utilization of puppets and how to plan the type of puppet one would choose in the future.
“In the following three months, no matter if it's my teaching or training towards all of you, it will circle around this single core, whereas, the main point in all abilities of survival is Physical strength!” As soon as she finished speaking, the corners of Xue Ying’s mouth curled slightly into a trace of an arc, and Bai Xiaofei who was stared at by her suddenly had a bad premonition….
