Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 112 - 111: Substitute Teacher? Not Even a Dog Would Take That!
After Su Yuan and Xiao Kong entered the room, they found Chen Nuoyi, Chu Lanxi, and Wu Ziying had been waiting for a long time.
"Now that everyone is here, hurry and take a seat. The class is about to start."
Taibai Phecda sat on the sofa opposite them and waved the two over.
Xiao Kong was still a bit reserved, but Su Yuan was already being pulled over by Taibai Yuxi to the sofa.
The white-haired Lolita blinked her dazzling golden eyes, looking at the backpack on Su Yuan’s back.
Before Su Yuan sat down, she reached out her chubby little hands and said understandingly:
"Brother Su Yuan, let me take your backpack. I’ll find a place to put it."
"Oh, thank you for your trouble."
Without giving it much thought, Su Yuan took off his backpack and handed it to her.
Once she got the backpack, Taibai Yuxi treated it like the greatest treasure, holding onto it tightly with a smile, hopping away.
From her perspective, the backpack was already tainted by unimaginable demonic qi.
Brother Su Yuan is really something, not even a few days apart and he’s already crafted another ominous Demon Dao creation... hehe!
After taking their seats, Taibai Phecda said:
"Today’s tutoring will be from nine in the morning to nine at night, a total of twelve hours, and combined with tomorrow’s twelve hours, it’ll be twenty-four hours in total. No problem?"
The five naturally had no objections and nodded one by one.
Then Taibai Phecda continued:
"The tutoring content is simple, some things I’ve taught before, and others I will teach later."
"Let’s not discuss the Undying Sword Body and Celestial Thunder Spirit Tempering Technique for now; the topics not yet taught include the sword qi technique ’Initial Understanding of Sword Qi’ and the swordsmanship ’Taixu Nine Swords’. "
"Among them, the sword qi from Initial Understanding of Sword Qi is not like Spiritual Wisdom Sword Qi with special effects; it’s for basic training and can be practiced regardless of whether you’ve learned Wisdom Sword Heart Method."
"And Taixu Nine Swords is a superior martial art that can be triggered by sword qi, just perfect for exams where weapons cannot be carried. "
"Today I’ll teach you Initial Understanding of Sword Qi, and tomorrow we’ll cover Taixu Nine Swords."
After hearing about the tutoring content, Xiao Kong and the others were quite satisfied, but Su Yuan found it slightly uninteresting.
Even though guidance from a Master Golden Core is quite rare, ultimately, a master leads you to the door, but cultivation is personal.
With his ’Demon Lord’ title, when hasn’t he practiced?
Would be better to live stream on the weekend and make some money.
While Su Yuan was thinking this, Taibai Phecda shifted the topic and said:
"I hope that before the week ends, all five of you can at least achieve Great Success in both Initial Understanding of Sword Qi and Taixu Nine Swords."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nuoyi and the others were surprised, not understanding why Teacher Taibai suddenly seemed so rushed.
Su Yuan and Xiao Kong, however, seemed to have some insight.
Sure enough, Taibai Phecda continued:
"Not far from Taihua City, in Jinhua Mountain, an ancient secret realm is about to open. I’ll be going as a consultant to scout it out."
"Even in the fastest scenario, it will take over a month, but during that time your studies can’t drop."
"So, I need to choose one temporary teacher among you five best students to train the Special Advancement Class students."
Turns out Xiao Meng was right.
Su Yuan nodded secretly, though he hadn’t anticipated this temporary teacher arrangement before.
Taibai Phecda continued:
"As for who will become the temporary teacher, it will depend on your performance. Whoever progresses the fastest will naturally take on this responsibility."
Though that’s what he said, in reality, Taibai Phecda already had the most suitable candidate in mind.
That candidate was none other than Su Yuan.
Even though this kid always comes up with big antics and possesses abilities akin to a demon,
from the bottom of his heart, Su Yuan is definitely the most brilliant student he’s ever taught... even if most of this kid’s skills weren’t taught by him.
Having Su Yuan as the temporary teacher, he’s not assured... impossible, but the teaching quality should be quite good.
As for who would win this seemingly fair competition, it would most certainly be Su Yuan, whose comprehension is out of this world.
For the others, it was just a race in accompaniment.
Thinking this, Taibai Phecda couldn’t help but glance at the students running in accompaniment.
Chen Nuoyi and Chu Lanxi didn’t need mentioning; they’re Su Yuan’s close friends and wouldn’t care about the competition’s result.
Wu Ziying... hard to say, but likely wouldn’t overshadow Su Yuan.
That left only Xiao Kong, who was eager and ready for a vigorous intellectual competition.
Hope this kid’s Dao Heart is solid enough.
Finally, Taibai Phecda’s gaze landed on Su Yuan, in whom he pinned high hopes.
He then saw Su Yuan resting his chin on his hand, pondering something.
What’s this kid thinking about?
Taibai Phecda was puzzled internally. Before he could ask, Su Yuan raised his head and seriously said:
"Teacher Taibai, for this term I nominate Young Master Xiao as the overseer."
Taibai Phecda: "???"
Su Yuan confidently said:
"Hurting the harmony between classmates over a temporary teacher position isn’t good. What if someone, in their haste, becomes possessed by deviant practices?"
"Moreover, I think Young Master Xiao is more suited for this position, so I’m willing to voluntarily withdraw from this competition!"
Taibai Phecda: "..."
After a long silence, he slowly said:
"You aren’t refusing in such haste because you’re worried you can’t sell your lessons once you’re a temporary teacher, are you!"
Su Yuan (cold sweat rapidly forming on his forehead): "Teacher Taibai, you’re joking. How could I be that kind of person?"
Hmm, case solved!
Taibai Phecda finally understood his student.
He could guarantee that none here were more eager for him to go to the Secret Realm as a consultant than Su Yuan.
Once he’s gone, this kid would undoubtedly launch various tutoring packages to earn a hefty profit.
But even knowing this, what could be done?
Forcing Su Yuan to be the temporary teacher, this brat would probably turn into a greedy, unscrupulous teacher.
Then what would become of his recommender? He’d likely ruin his own reputation.
After holding this in for a long while, Taibai Phecda finally said helplessly:
"Then the temporary teaching position will go to Xiao Kong. You have no problem with that, right, Xiao Kong?"
Xiao Kong immediately nodded in agreement.
For some reason, even though he gained Taibai Phecda’s favor and was given the temporary teacher role, he didn’t feel as joyful as he imagined, feeling somewhat disappointed instead.
When he heard Su Yuan lean in and say "Young Master Xiao, I have a course on how to become a professional teacher, would you like to buy a session?", he felt even more crestfallen.
After settling on the temporary teacher, Taibai Phecda was about to begin explaining "Initial Understanding of Sword Qi".
But at that moment, he caught a glimpse of his own daughter sneaking into the room, bowing down with a suspicious look.
The old father’s eyebrows furrowed; upon closer inspection, he noticed an unnatural bulge under his daughter’s thin dress.
It looked like she was hiding a cylindrical object.
But before he could clearly see, the white-haired Lolita had already dashed into her room, shutting the door.
The "click" of the lock only heightened the father’s alarm.
