Chapter 634: The Monster Instructor is Back!
Because they had been promoted to mystical-tier students, the number of participants had significantly decreased, and thus, the area of the training ground had also been reduced.
After all, mystical-tier students rarely required an instructor's direct guidance for group training. The gap between individual students had gradually become apparent, so these group practices no longer had much impact.
At this stage, the role of the instructors was more focused on leading students on missions, exploring hidden realms or dangerous places, and helping them seek fortuitous opportunities.
After finishing breakfast, Ling Feng and his group made their way to the training ground. As for Tuoba Yan, she followed closely within a hundred zhang of Ling Feng, which was an easy task for her.
Old classmates, having been apart for a while, were excited to see each other again. When Ling Feng appeared, everyone warmly called him Chief Ling with an air of familiarity.
Soon, the new batch of mystical-tier students gathered at the training ground, waiting for their mentors and instructors to arrive.
"I wonder who our new instructor will be. Although Instructor Leng was strict with us, I kind of miss him now," one female student sighed softly.
"Exactly, especially since Instructor Leng is actually quite handsome without his beard!" Another female student's eyes sparkled, her expression filled with infatuation.
"It would be great if that monster instructor came back to teach us again. It'd definitely be fun."
"Ah, but the one I miss is Mentor Su."
"Imperial history is such a boring subject, so only Mentor Su can make it interesting for me. If she's our mentor again, I'd be willing to give up five years of my life!"
"Hmph, I'd give up ten years!"
Most of the male students expressed their longing for the beautiful mentor, Su Qingxuan. A gentle, intelligent, and elegant female mentor like her was not easy to come by.
Before long, a group of people walked out of the main hall in front of them. These were the new instructors and mentors.
"Huh? Isn't that Instructor Leng?"
"And... and that looks like Mentor Su!"
"No way, am I seeing things?"
Standing next to Leng Jianfeng was a slightly short and chubby middle-aged man. With his hands behind his back and a round belly protruding, he gazed down at the students with his small eyes and said flatly, "I am Zhu Yuchang, the head instructor for all mystical-tier students. From now on, you can just call me Instructor Zhu.
"On most days, Instructor Leng will be handling your various issues. However, if there's something that Instructor Leng can't resolve, feel free to come directly to me. I'll usually be—"
Zhu Yuchang rambled on for quite some time before finally stepping aside to allow the other mentors to introduce themselves.
Ling Feng squinted slightly as he observed Zhu Yuchang. For someone to hold the position of head instructor, there had to be something remarkable about him. Ling Feng silently made a note of his name before turning his attention back to the central platform.
After a brief round of introductions from the mentors, it was finally Su Qingxuan's turn.
This time, Su Qingxuan was going to be teaching alchemy courses to the students. Unlike during their yellow-tier student days, where alchemy classes focused on theory and basic operations, the alchemy courses for mystical-tier students were electives. Those who believed they had a talent for alchemy could choose to take the class, while those who didn't feel they had the aptitude wouldn't have to waste their time.
Of course, just because Su Qingxuan was the mentor, her alchemy course became highly sought after.
While Ling Feng hesitated over whether or not to choose the alchemy course, the beautiful mentor sent him a message through her spiritual consciousness, lightly huffing, "Chief Ling, you better choose my class. You wouldn't want to know what would happen if you don't!"
Ling Feng was speechless. If he picked Su Qingxuan's class, it wouldn't be because she was teaching him; rather, it seemed like he'd end up teaching her instead.
It was obvious that Su Qingxuan had this all planned out.
Ling Feng had mastered the Nine Refinements of Mystic Fire technique that he learned from her father, while Su Qingxuan had only just begun to grasp the basics. Naturally, she wasn't going to let Ling Feng off easily. She intended for him to teach her everything he knew.
With a helpless smile, Ling Feng had no choice but to go along with the beautiful mentor's request.
On the first day of the new semester, after the students selected their elective courses, Leng Jianfeng led them on a tour of the task hall and reward hall, giving them a brief overview of Tianwei Academy's reward system.
"In short, if you want better resources, make sure to visit the task hall frequently. But keep in mind, the more valuable the Tianwei points are, the more dangerous the tasks usually are. You little brats better know your limits. If you don't have what it takes, don't go biting off more than you can chew! If you're not capable, don't even think about touching those sky-tier or earth-tier tasks, got it?"
Leng Jianfeng spoke with a look of disdain.
Although his words seemed sharp, almost mocking, he was actually trying to remind the students to value their lives and avoid getting themselves killed while on missions.
The low graduation rate at Tianwei Academy was primarily due to the large number of students who lost their lives on dangerous tasks each year.
In the end, if you couldn’t survive, there was only one reason: you simply weren't good enough!
