Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 337 - 280: Teacher Taibai Has Taken a Fine Pupil!
In twenty-five days, the new teaching building of the School of Earth and Wood rose from the ground, with only the final finishing touches left.
Su Yuan, who played an indispensable role in this project, was leisurely working on the ceiling at the moment.
Under his control, the Chi Yuan Sword varied in weight, and his Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship improved through such practice.
His cultivation progress in Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship was faster than expected. Five days ago, he had already reached minor success and was now moving toward the great success stage.
However, swordsmanship always becomes harder as one progresses. At this rate, it might take three more months to reach great success.
Fortunately, the Secret Realm of the Forbidden Heaven and Earth was about to be completed.
This realm, entirely composed of Nine Heavens Gang Qi and Nine Hells Evil Qi, was the best auxiliary cultivation field for Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship, significantly shortening his training time.
"Su Yuan, you’ve been busy all afternoon, take a break and have some tea."
The Earth and Wood Tutor came over with a thermos, speaking with a kindly expression.
"Oh, thank you, Teacher."
Su Yuan obediently put away the Chi Yuan Sword, stopped his work, and came in front of the Earth and Wood Tutor.
The Earth and Wood Tutor, seemingly worried about Su Yuan’s exhaustion, actively unscrewed the thermos, and if Su Yuan hadn’t stopped him, he might have directly fed him the tea.
This scene of masterly affection and filial piety was witnessed by many new students of earth and wood around.
But no one objected to it.
After more than twenty days together, they had almost regarded Su Yuan as their senior brother.
Because every move of Su Yuan’s displayed his innate talent as the Earth and Wood Saint Son.
Whether laying the foundation or smoothing the plaster, he was so smooth and flowing, and whenever there was hard, tiring, or even dangerous work, he was always the first to step in, shielding everyone from the wind and rain.
Even in terms of greed, he did it with a certain standard, taking more than other students.
But that’s how it’s supposed to be.
If the senior brother doesn’t take it, how could their junior brothers?
If the senior brother doesn’t take it, how could the senior fourth-year students and the Earth and Wood Tutor?
Many present sincerely hoped that such days could last forever.
Alas, happy days are always short-lived.
Just as the Earth and Wood people were enjoying peaceful times, two unexpected guests suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.
Two vast Nascent Soul pressures swept through, freezing everyone in their tracks.
They, along with Su Yuan, turned towards the source of the pressure and saw the two most renowned figures at Evil Extermination University recently.
True Monarch Yang Hao! True Monarch Zanyuan!
The simultaneous descent of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs had not happened in years.
But instead of being happy, the many Earth and Wood people became uneasy.
Because they all immediately realized the purpose of these powerful figures descending upon the Earth and Wood Department.
"Su Yuan! I heard you’ve been mingling on the construction site all this month?"
Teacher Taibai scowled and asked.
True Monarch Yang Hao spoke in a tone of bitter disappointment:
"Su Yuan! You, a dignified Saint Heir of the Evil Extermination Department, and a direct disciple of True Monarch Zanyuan, how could you allow yourself to fall this low!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"You’ve actually gotten involved with earth and wood! How could you get involved with earth and wood?"
"Tell me honestly, did the fast money in the earth and wood industry blind you? Did you follow those disreputable earth and wood people into massage parlors?"
As he spoke, True Monarch Yang Hao walked up to Su Yuan with a stern expression, like a father ready to teach his wayward son a lesson.
But just then, the Earth and Wood Tutor, with only a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, stood resolutely in front of True Monarch Yang Hao.
"True Monarch Yang! Su Yuan has grown up. He is free to do whatever he wants, so please don’t interfere!"
"What, you’re going to shield him?"
True Monarch Yang Hao coldly glanced at the Earth and Wood Tutor, restraining his anger.
The Earth and Wood Tutor earnestly replied:
"Su Yuan is already recognized as a Saint Son by our Earth and Wood Department, so we naturally have to protect him."
"If Su Yuan wants to change departments, the director of the Earth and Wood Department and I will definitely fully support him."
True Monarch Yang Hao was almost driven to laughter by this.
Sect transfer from Evil Extermination to Earth and Wood?
Are you joking!
However, True Monarch Yang Hao managed to keep his composure, just looked coldly at Su Yuan behind the Earth and Wood Tutor, and said:
"Su Yuan, you’ve only gone astray for a month, there’s still hope for you."
"I tolerated you not achieving a good rank in this monthly exam, but a sect transfer is absolutely impossible!"
"I hope you consider carefully, not just yourself, but also your master, your future."
Facing True Monarch Yang Hao’s angry voice, Su Yuan appeared unruffled.
"Rest assured, Teacher Yang, although I am among the earth and wood, I have not neglected the Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship you taught me for a single day."
"Up to this day, my Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship has reached minor success, which is the best evidence."
"Working on the construction site is not a deviation, but the best training ground for me, so please don’t blame the Earth and Wood Department."
"Even if others are just err... ahem, just earth and wood students, they have dignity too!"
Su Yuan’s words were powerful and inspiring, moving the Earth and Wood students around him.
Su Yuan was risking offending a Nascent Soul True Monarch to stand up for the Earth and Wood students, striving to uphold the dignity of the Earth and Wood School!
He really loves earth and wood!
Of course, True Monarch Yang Hao didn’t have so much inner drama; his attention was entirely focused on what Su Yuan had said.
"What did you say? Your Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship has reached minor success!"
This news genuinely shocked True Monarch Yang Hao.
Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship is very difficult, and Su Yuan didn’t show any obvious Sword Dao talent, theoretically, it’s impossible to achieve minor success within a month!
But after Su Yuan casually demonstrated the changes in the Chi Yuan Sword’s weight, True Monarch Yang Hao had no choice but to believe it.
He stayed silent for a while, then sighed a bit enviously:
"Teacher Taibai really accepted a good disciple."
"Since you haven’t fallen behind in your studies, I naturally have no more objections."
"In the future, whether you return to the Evil Extermination Department to study or go to the Earth and Wood Department to work, as long as you don’t transfer departments, everything is negotiable."
With that, True Monarch Yang Hao turned to look at Taibai Phecda, who had been silent since saying the first sentence, and smiled:
"I was wondering why True Monarch Zanyuan was so calm; it seems you know Su Yuan better than I do and anticipated this outcome long ago."
"Ah? Um."
Taibai Phecda seemed lost in thought about something, and after hearing True Monarch Yang Hao’s words, he first blanked out, then nodded mechanically.
The latter didn’t notice Taibai Phecda’s peculiarity, simply said:
"I’m looking forward to your disciple’s performance in the joint monthly exam."
Finished speaking, he left first.
Taibai Phecda then looked at Su Yuan:
"If there’s no important work here, come back with me for a few days of classes; the monthly exams are approaching, and you need to prepare."
Su Yuan obediently nodded, leaving with Taibai Phecda under the reluctant gaze of the Earth and Wood Tutor and many Earth and Wood students.
As soon as they left the teaching building, Taibai Phecda suddenly asked:
"Su Yuan, your tactics are getting higher; while tricking the Earth and Wood Department, you can still make them think highly of you."
Su Yuan: "???"
Wait, Teacher Taibai, how did you figure that out?
Isn’t today the first day you heard I was working on the construction site?
Taibai Phecda snorted and said:
"Don’t I know you? You had never been an early riser without benefit, quickly spill what you took from the Earth and Wood School?"
Facing his master’s stern gaze, Su Yuan said evasively:
"Teacher, I didn’t do anything. I just committed the mistake that every Earth and Wood person would make."
Taibai Phecda said nothing, his eyes scrutinizing, swept a glance at the new building, then said coldly:
"You used the Sword Slave to lay live stakes, didn’t you? Was it to siphon off Earth Evil Qi, or both Celestial Spirit and Earthly Fiend Qi?"
Su Yuan: "..."
Taibai Phecda: "Considering that the production capacity of storage room No. 99 has been entirely for you, you’re still doing this?"
"Lucky this isn’t the Ancient Era, otherwise you would have been on the Immortal Execution Platform already!"
"Anyway, when the production capacity of storage room No. 99 increases, find a way to return the Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends Qi you embezzled."
Su Yuan: "Oh..."
