NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 40 – Ultimate Teacher
Huang Ye, finding no amusement, glanced around. The other students had already backed away, their eyes filled with fear. This guy's combat strength was formidable; no wonder he was learning martial arts.
Although they didn't primarily focus on martial arts, they knew a bit more than the average person. The speed at which Huang Ye slapped someone just now was so fast it seemed like he hadn't even moved.
Even a fool could tell that this guy's martial prowess was strong, and not someone they dared to provoke.
Huang Ye gave them a sinister smile, sending a chill down their spines. They feared he might come over and slap them too. They had mocked him earlier, and with his strength, he could easily toy with them.
Fortunately, he just smiled wickedly and left without making a move.
Only then did everyone wipe the sweat off their foreheads, swearing never to judge by appearances again.
Huang Ye couldn't be bothered to lecture them. They weren't on the same level, and reasoning with them would be a waste of breath.
He swaggered out, leaving them with a brazen back view.
Huang Ye had thought about exposing his strength. These small fry were just Martial Apprentices, at best Martial Masters, and revealing his strength wouldn't matter much.
Moreover, the City Lord's mansion and other factions wanted to place people in the academy, but it wasn't something they could do on a whim. He had suddenly decided to join the Martial Arts Academy, and finding suitable people to follow him would take time.
He could tell from the fact that no one had been following him since entering the academy.
Once Huang Ye's figure completely disappeared, a few people who were close to the guy with triangular eyes gathered around.
A skinny guy said, "B-Boss, that guy's gone!"
The triangular-eyed guy's trembling shoulders immediately steadied, recovering from his crying state.
He didn't dare to lift his head, feeling his face burning with pain, surely swollen. That guy hit too hard.
"Xiao Qiang, follow him and see where he goes."
"Boss, I can't even see his shadow."
"If you can't see, can't you chase?" the triangular-eyed guy snapped.
"Boss, even if I had borrowed courage, I wouldn't dare chase him. His combat strength is at least at the late Martial Apprentice stage. If he finds out, he'll definitely deal with me."
"Idiot, don't you have any guts?"
Xiao Qiang thought to himself, you're one to talk about guts. You got slapped to tears and didn't dare get up from the table, yet you say others lack courage.
The others also pursed their lips, still not daring to lift their heads, probably afraid we'd see their pig-like faces.
"You guys, go check everywhere now. This guy is a new face, definitely a new student. Find out all his information in the next two days."
"Uh, my stomach hurts a bit. I'll go rest first," the triangular-eyed guy said, trying to slip away after giving orders.
"Boss, checking people costs money," a lackey reminded him.
The triangular-eyed guy was generous, pulling out a silver note from his pocket.
"This is a hundred taels. Use it first. If it's not enough, come to me. Make sure to find accurate information."
Seeing the silver note, their eyes lit up. They didn't expect such a good deal.
They quickly took the silver note and rushed out, thinking of splitting the money first. Asking around later was secondary; if they couldn't find anything, so be it.
After all, this rich kid had plenty of money, and this amount was just a drop in the bucket for him.
After they left, the triangular-eyed guy also stood up, using a textbook to cover his face, leaving only his triangular eyes visible, and hurriedly left.
The few remaining in the lecture hall watched his back, trying hard to suppress their laughter.
This arrogant second-generation rich kid finally got taught a lesson. Many of them had been bullied by him before, so they felt a sense of relief.
In this world, what goes around comes around. It's not that the time hasn't come yet.
They guessed this guy wouldn't dare come back, and they were eager to know the name of the hero who had just acted.
Meanwhile, Huang Ye was already seated in a new lecture hall, intently watching the teacher. This teacher was so beautiful, so beautiful.
Definitely a 90 out of 100. The teacher wasn't very old, around twenty-one or twenty-two.
With delicately arched eyebrows, a fine nose, and cherry lips, her almond-shaped eyes were full of allure.
Dressed in a light green gauzy dress, her petite and exquisite figure was accentuated by a waist belt, highlighting her front and rear curves.
Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a low laughter threshold, often amused by the students' interjections. When she laughed, dimples appeared on her cheeks, a classic baby-faced beauty with a voluptuous figure.
After laughing, she would cast a bewitching gaze, as if her eyes could electrify, leaving the students mesmerized.
That gaze made everyone feel like the instructor was smiling at them.
There was something strange about her; she must have practiced some charm technique. He had read about charm techniques in novels before, and it felt just like this.
Every smile and gesture of hers could tug at one's heartstrings, something ordinary people couldn't achieve.
A smile that could launch a thousand ships, indeed the ancients didn't deceive him.
No wonder the lecture hall was packed; he could only stand and listen. There were quite a few others standing as well.
Each one stared blankly at the podium, some students even drooling, wetting the floor.
Huang Ye wasn't surprised by the students' reactions. This woman stirred something within him too, even speeding up his Qi flow.
Strange, what was going on? Could this woman resonate with his techniques?
He shared a bed with two maids every day, yet never felt this way around them.
Comparing looks, Qing'er wasn't inferior to her, but the feeling was entirely different.
Truly a mysterious woman.
What intrigued Huang Ye more was the subject she taught, which he had to attend because she was teaching about hidden weapons.
Huang Ye also learned her name—Tang Xin. It was easy to find out.
Other instructors were addressed by their last names, but this instructor was directly called Instructor Tang Xin by the students.
Hearing a student call her Instructor Tang Xin, Huang Ye found the name quite unique.
Damn, why not just call her Sweetheart!
Her father must have been quite sappy to give her such a name, truly a case of living up to one's name.
Also, why in this world do those who play with hidden weapons have the surname Tang? Is Tang the universal first surname for hidden weapons?
His decision to learn this subject wasn't because of this mysterious woman.
Hidden weapons had been a subject of his admiration since childhood, from slingshots to throwing bricks and playing cards.
Hidden weapons had always been part of his growth.
Unlike techniques and martial skills, hidden weapons relied on skill.
That's why those skilled in hidden weapons in the martial world often had nicknames like Thousand-Hand Guanyin or Thousand-Hand Tathagata.
Magicians in the martial world also knew hidden weapon techniques because their hands were quick enough to deceive the human eye.
Even though he was already a cultivator, he believed that the art of hidden weapons would be useful even if he became an immortal.
Whether in attack or defense, having hidden weapons as assistance would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort.
Another point was that hidden weapons were often associated with poison. Many assassination weapons were coated with poison.
This method was commonly used by assassination experts, whether in ancient or modern times.
The Poison Path was also a subject he wanted to learn, mastering both the creation and antidote of poisons.
Poisons surely had grades too; he had read in novels about poisons capable of killing cultivators.
As long as the poison's grade was high enough, even immortals could be poisoned.
The first challenge he faced upon crossing into this world was poison.
The feeling of being immobilized by the Ten Fragrance Muscle Softening Powder was something he didn't want to experience again, so mastering the Poison Path was essential.
