The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 557 - 554: Demotion

"The situation is mostly as such. Indeed, my True Qi has been depleted, but I feel stronger than before. Not only that, the pain in my heart and lungs is gone as well."

Lu Yuan spoke truthfully.

"Grandfather, everything Lu Yuan said is true, don’t underestimate Xiao Xin, she has become very powerful. Earlier, I took a Fire Ganoderma Pill..."

Zuo Mingshang also hurriedly added.

As soon as she spoke, she stuck out her tongue cheekily, earning a fierce look from General Zuo.

"Nonsense! How many times have I told you that cultivation must be progressive? Taking Elixir Pills recklessly can have unimaginable consequences."

General Zuo was livid with rage.

"Grandfather, please don’t get angry, just listen to me first. After I took the Fire Ganoderma Pill, the medicinal power backfired and almost led me to Qi deviation. Thanks to Xiao Xin who provided me with some medicine, I was able to recover. My cultivation level is now much stronger than before."

After speaking, Zuo Mingshang was worried that Zuo Zong wouldn’t believe her.

But then, with a stomp of her foot, she demonstrated a series of hand techniques smooth as a fluttering butterfly in front of all the parents.

Her aura was steady, her hand technique flowing and endless, and after one sequence, it was as smooth as drifting clouds and flowing water.

Even a person like Governor Huang couldn’t help but inwardly applaud.

"Miss Zuo has impressive skills."

"General Zuo has indeed taught her well."

"With such cultivation, she will probably break through to the Xuan Transformation Realm very soon."

All the parents were also full of envy, heaping praise upon her.

"The Fire Ganoderma Pill’s side effects have completely disappeared, all thanks to Xiao Xin."

Zuo Mingshang glanced at her own grandfather, Zuo Zong. He didn’t offer any praise aloud, but the admiration in his eyes said it all.

"Miss Zuo, these two matters are not the same. The effects of the Fire Ganoderma Pill will eventually wear off, and your body might have recovered on its own. But True Qi is different; how could the vanished True Qi return in such a short time? Lu Yuan was once the leader of the Tianshu Class, but now he’s at the very bottom. Without True Qi, I’m afraid he doesn’t even qualify to stay in the Tianshu Class."

Governor Huang expressed deep concern.

"I... I voluntarily demote myself and will not stay in the Tianshu Class."

Just as Governor Huang’s face showed regret, Lu Yuan suddenly spoke.

"What?"

Governor Huang was startled, thinking he had misheard.

Previously, Lu Yuan had tried everything possible to stay in the Tianshu Class.

"If it means not punishing Master Mo and Xiao Xin, I, Lu Yuan, am willing to demote myself to the Heavenly Power Class."

Lu Yuan clenched his teeth.

"Lu Yuan, you’re truly honorable!"

Zuo Mingshang gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up, cheering him on.

"Lu Yuan, have you thought this through? The Heavenly Power Class is for students without Xuan Root, and you, as the son of the Chief of Staff... Your father will never agree to this."

Governor Huang frowned.

This kid Lu Yuan – could it be that the medicine has also affected his brain?

"I’ve made up my mind, thank you for the concern, Governor Huang. I also ask all the parents here to consider my voluntary demotion and not pursue this matter further."

Lu Yuan looked at the parents, his face full of sincerity and determination.

He believed that if Xiao Xin could bake sweet potatoes so deliciously, her Medical Skill must be top-notch.

(Xiao Xin wondered, what does baking sweet potatoes have to do with Medical Skill?)

She said she could refine True Qi in just a few days, and he believed that he could do the same.

"Governor Huang, respected parents, the Qingtian Academy has always been committed to fairness and openness. Since the student himself has decided to drop the issue, we are in no position to pursue it further."

General Zuo said smilingly, stroking his beard.
