152: please!

Pengcheng University, independent villa area.

After the rain cleared, Lu Yuan had only just returned to the villa when he saw his teacher.

"I have heard about the matter at Starry Sky City."

Having recovered from a major illness and broken through to the Saint Realm, Tang Jinghui looked no different than usual.

However, he was in high spirits and looked much younger.

The villa was filled with the fragrance of tea, and Tang Jinghui sat on the sofa drinking tea.

"Fortunately, Ji Jinyu is a Practitioner of the Domain Realm with a Dark Attribute. If it were any other attribute, you would likely have found it very difficult to deal with."

It is not that the Dark Attribute is weak; on the contrary, it ranks in the top three among combat attributes.

The Skeleton Monsters summoned by the Dark Attribute are both strong and numerous, but compared to Lu Yuan's Puppet Corps, the difference is like heaven and earth!

Furthermore, Lu Yuan comprehended a divine ability during the battle, which once again strengthened the power of his Puppet Corps.

The Skeleton Monsters summoned by Ji Jinyu stood even less of a chance!

"Teacher, you came at just the right time. Is the news spread by the Great Shun Dynasty true?" Lu Yuan asked.

During the time he was in No Mans Land, public opinion in Huaxia was rife.

The most explosive news was about Mu Tianyi, the Emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty, because he was causing more and more people to awaken as a Practitioner.

"Of course it is false." Tang Jinghui shook his head.

The sun shone brightly after the rain, and sunlight refracted through the window, illuminating the villa living room.

"Unlike in Huaxia, in ancient times, only nobles had the qualifications to awaken through an awakening stone." Tang Jinghui tidied the tea set in a leisurely manner.

"Furthermore, cultivation resources like demon crystals and monster cores could only be obtained by nobles. Not to mention that commoners had no qualifications to awaken; even if they did, they could not cultivate."

"No wonder so few people awakened as a Practitioner in ancient times," Lu Yuan said.

"The reason the Great Shun Dynasty is spreading this news is simply because they want to overthrow Huaxia and rebuild their dynasty, including Starry Sky City."

Tang Jinghui saw through it clearly. He had learned the ins and outs of the Starry Sky City situation in detail through Fu Jingjie.

"According to my guess, someone is secretly helping the Ancient Professionals. This person has immense reach and can contact the demon race!" Tang Jinghui said in a deep voice.

Lu Yuan expressed his agreement.

The beast tide encountered by Starry Sky City was organized and premeditated, and it was led by a Domain Realm Demon King.

If he had not arrived in time, Starry Sky City would have fallen, and the six million residents of the neighboring Red Lotus City would have suffered!

That is six million residents; if they had died in the beast tide, it would have caused a huge uproar in Huaxia.

Coupled with the already overwhelming public opinion, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Brother Yuan, I missed you to death!"

While Lu Yuan was chatting with Tang Jinghui, Han Junchen, with his purple-dyed hair, walked in.

Han Junchen liked to dye his hair; sometimes it was white, sometimes yellow. Lu Yuan was used to this.

Han Junchen wore a fawning smile, calling him Brother Yuan with every breath.

"You must be tired from killing fierce beasts. Let me massage your shoulders," Han Junchen said.

"Speak your mind or get lost."

Lu Yuan made Han Junchen keep his distance.

"Ahem!" Tang Jinghui pretended to cough, signaling for Lu Yuan to come out and talk privately.

"Get out. I will let you in when I tell you to."

"Alrighty~" Han Junchen trotted to the door of the villa and stood there.

"Teacher, what is it?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Uh..." The usually steady Tang Jinghui was uncharacteristically awkward, first looking at Han Junchen, who stood like a door god.

"Han Junchen seems to have a problem in that regard, so be careful."

"What regard?" Lu Yuan didn't understand.

"It's just... he seems to like men." Tang Jinghui pretended to cough again.

He had only heard about it. Han Junchen had become the Principal's disciple, and two days ago, while practicing Sword Technique, he inexplicably asked the Principal to take off his clothes.

At that moment, Lao Qiyuan was first stunned, and then flew into a rage!

Hearing Tang Jinghui's account, Lu Yuan was speechless.

This matter involving Han Junchen had something to do with him, but he was certain that Han Junchen was normal.

"Teacher, I know what I'm doing," Lu Yuan said seriously.

"Mm." Tang Jinghui said no more; he certainly didn't want his disciple to have any issues.

In his eyes, he had long regarded Lu Yuan and Fu Jingjie as his own children.

"Why are you being so fawning?" Lu Yuan looked at Han Junchen.

"Hehe, I want to borrow some credits," Han Junchen said embarrassedly.

Lu Yuan's 99999+ credits had spread on the school forum, and Han Junchen wanted to borrow credits to exchange for a mid-grade heaven and earth spirit treasure.

"How much?"

"Two million."

"Sure, but you have to do me a favor." Lu Yuan readily agreed and locked eyes with Han Junchen for a few seconds.

Han Junchen understood instantly, then made a mournful face. "Fine, I'll try my best," Han Junchen said.

He couldn't understand why Lu Yuan was obsessed with whether the teacher had a birthmark on his arm. Because of this, many instructors looked at him strangely.

"Is the Principal busy lately? I want him to teach Lu Yuan close combat," Tang Jinghui interjected.

Lu Yuan looked at Tang Jinghui. Since returning from Starry Sky City, Lu Yuan knew the importance of close combat.

He just didn't expect his teacher to arrange for the Principal to teach him.

"I was afflicted with cold poison when I was young, and I haven't touched a blade for many years. The Principal's blade technique, Sword Technique, and spear technique have all reached the level of Transcendent Saint Attainment!" Tang Jinghui explained.

close combat techniques are divided into Basic Proficiency, Skilled, Masterful, Pinnacle, and Transcendent Saint Attainment.

Even without using Spirit Skill, Lao Qiyuan can kill a God Emperor Realm fierce beast purely through close combat.

This is the formidable nature of close combat!

"The old codger is free all day long." Han Junchen badmouthed Lao Qiyuan behind his back as an old codger.

"Will the Principal agree?" Lu Yuan ignored Han Junchen.

"Hehe." Tang Jinghui, sitting on the sofa, smiled.

Something is wrong! Something is very wrong! thought Lu Yuan, who was familiar with Tang Jinghui.

"You have enough credits to exchange for the position of Principal. When that happens, you will be the Principal, and Old Lao will automatically become the Vice Principal." Tang Jinghui's smile grew even broader.

"You can order Old Lao to teach you!"

Turning the world upside down?

Tang Jinghui was laughing, and as he listened, Lu Yuan also laughed.

"Then what are we waiting for, Brother Yuan? Let's go and exchange credits to become Principal!" Han Junchen said excitedly.

"Please address me as Principal Lu," Lu Yuan corrected Han Junchen.

In the student hall, the senior student working there was stunned when she heard Lu Yuan wanted to exchange for a one-month term as Principal.

"Huh?"

"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, are you sure? You want to spend ten million credits to be Principal for a month?" the senior student asked.

This was too extravagant! Ten million credits; no student had ever done this since the founding of Pengcheng University!

"I'm sure!" Lu Yuan did not hesitate.

The senior student rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time before finally finding a dusty box. Opening the box, inside was a Principal Experience Voucher.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu Yuan—no, Principal Lu!" The senior student handed the voucher to Lu Yuan with both hands.

The students in the hall had colorful expressions; they were all dumbfounded.

"Hello, Principal Lu," someone said.

"Mm, hello." Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, with his lackey Han Junchen standing by his side.

"Have you heard? Lu Yuan is now our school's Principal!"

"???" "Principal?"

An instructor stood there scratching his head.

The three Vice Principals couldn't hold it in when they heard what the students said, thinking that Lu Yuan had actually used credits to exchange for the position of Principal.

Principal's office. The corridor was crowded with a large number of students and instructors. Lu Yuan stood at the door.

"Brother Yuan, are we really going in?" Han Junchen was getting a bit scared.

"There is no turning back once the arrow is shot. Open the door!" Lu Yuan said.

Creak— Before Han Junchen could open the door, Lao Qiyuan, with his full head of silver hair and a frame as sturdy as a bear, walked out.

"Is there something you need?" Lao Qiyuan scanned the students in the corridor, his gaze finally fixing on Lu Yuan.

Learning that Lu Yuan had used credits to exchange for a one-month term as Principal, the corners of Lao Qiyuan's mouth twitched.

He never dreamed that one day, a student would actually use credits to exchange for a Principal Experience Voucher. Even more outrageous was that this student was a freshman!

Under everyone's gaze, Lao Qiyuan slowly spoke.

"Excuse me, Principal Lu, I have been occupying your office."

Lao Qiyuan turned the doorknob, revealing the office environment at a glance. "Please!"
