Peerless Dual Cultivation: From Fool to Immortal

Chapter 43 – Showed up at the door



Huang Ye swaggered up to Jiang Yun.

"Alright, no need to pretend anymore, the teacher's gone. Say whatever harsh words you have."

"I'll take on whatever challenge you throw at me."

Jiang Yun opened his eyes, glaring at Huang Ye with gritted teeth, but said nothing.

He knew that words were useless; only by trampling Huang Ye underfoot would his words carry weight. Boasting now would only invite ridicule.

Moreover, Huang Ye's imposing manner left him bewildered, unsure of where Huang Ye's confidence came from.

Each slap he received was powerful and heavy. Although he was caught off guard and couldn't retaliate, the strength behind those slaps was undeniable.

Huang Ye's demeanor clearly showed he wasn't afraid of a fight.

Whether Huang Ye was bluffing or not, a wise man knows when to back down. Getting beaten up again would be asking for trouble.

"If you have nothing to say, hand over the teaching materials. From now on, I'll be in charge of this."

Jiang Yun fished out a key from his pocket, pointed to a cabinet in the corner, said nothing, and walked away.

Four or five of his underlings immediately followed.

"Scram!" Jiang Yun roared.

The group stood there, looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

"You guys don't need to follow him anymore. You're no longer his trusted aides."

After thinking it over, they realized Huang Ye was speaking the truth.

"Class Leader Huang, can I follow you?" one of the underlings asked cautiously.

"Follow me? Do you think you're worthy?"

The underling was stunned; this guy from a humble background was truly arrogant.

"You should all stay here and study hard. I don't need underlings."

"In my eyes, there's no distinction between rich and poor. Everyone is treated equally, with mutual respect."

As soon as Huang Ye said this, everyone's gaze toward him changed.

Some female students even had sparks in their eyes; this guy's demeanor was indeed extraordinary.

Previously, they thought this kid was a demon, someone not to be provoked.

But his words showed he didn't want to see bullying, indicating he wasn't someone who preyed on the weak.

There were harmonious classes like this in the academy, but such classes without hierarchy or oppression were rare.

Students spent money to attend the academy to learn, make friends, and find a path for their future.

If it was all bullying and oppression, it would be a disaster for weaker students.

Huang Ye didn't bother with what others thought, heading straight to the cabinet storing the teaching materials.

Whether anyone bought them or not, he didn't care; being able to read them for free was the real deal.

The moment he opened the cabinet, he was overwhelmed.

Damn, hit the jackpot! There were over a dozen different textbooks here, not just one type.

These are all money! Even if each book is ten taels of silver, these add up to over a hundred taels.

Whatever, scan them all. With that female tyrant's personality, who knows when my position as class leader will be replaced by another handsome guy.

Taking one of each book back to his seat, his actions made many students who were about to leave stop in their tracks.

Normally, there were no classes here; students would either go practice or attend lectures elsewhere. But the new class leader's actions left them puzzled.

What's this tyrant doing? Why is he taking out all the textbooks?

And is he really reading? Glancing at each page before turning, finishing a thick book in the time it takes a stick of incense to burn.

Watching him seriously, it seemed like he was genuinely studying, not missing a page. But at such a speed, could he really understand anything?

As Huang Ye flipped through the pages, the System was also busily working.

It felt like a windshield wiper, methodically scanning through the pages of these books!

In less than two hours, all thirteen books were scanned.

The other students had long left, thinking the new class leader was just a fool.

That kind of reading speed was just playing around; who reads like that?

Maybe it was just a hobby of his, not seeking to understand, just to have seen it.

Huang Ye stretched, putting all the books back.

Not bad, this class leader position can be given up. Let's see who's interested and sell it to them.

If only every subject allowed me to scan like this.

"System, study this key and see if you can deduce the keys to other lecture halls."

The System rubbed its aching head, speaking painfully.

[Master, you need theft skills. I can provide tutorials, but asking me to deduce key shapes is beyond my ability.]

It seemed a bit difficult, after all, it wasn't a combination lock. Huang Ye didn't push further.

"Forget it, stealing is illegal anyway. We'll see if there's an opportunity later."

The System calmly thought, your words are as good as nonsense.

What do you mean by 'see if there's an opportunity later'? That opportunity is stealing, surely you'd want me to record the shape if you see another key.

Seeing the sky darken, he decided to head back to the dormitory to check it out, wondering how it differed from university dorms in his previous life.

Just as he stood up, his stomach growled.

Strange, why do I feel this way?

With Qi Flow circulating in his body, his need for food wasn't much; one meal a day was enough.

Even if he didn't eat, speeding up the Qi Flow would make the hunger disappear.

But he wasn't used to this way of supplementing yet. If he could catch a meal, he would still eat something.

Especially when his energy consumption was high, food was even more necessary.

Maybe the hunger was related to the System's frantic operation. Who knew the System, a robot, would also consume energy?

Huang Ye headed straight to the cafeteria; it was already dinner time, and many students were eating inside.

Checking the cafeteria rules, not bad, just one tael of silver for all-you-can-eat.

Huang Ye paid a tael of silver and used another to buy a set of utensils.

The cafeteria food was decent, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat, all high-calorie foods being a must.

At the serving area, he picked and chose, especially avoiding duck necks, fearing he'd bite into a rodent's head.

Looking at the bowl full of high-calorie food, he nodded in satisfaction, deciding to eat less today, and casually found a place to sit and eat.

After a few bites, the taste was alright.

Though not as good as the City Lord's mansion, it was much better than the university food from his past life.

With the painful experiences from his past life, these meals were completely acceptable.

Just as he was enjoying his meal, he noticed a group of people walking towards him.

Among them, he recognized the triangular-eyed guy, respectfully following a burly man.

Damn, not another clichéd plot, right? Beat the underling, and the boss comes. Beat the boss, and the boss's dad comes.

The boss's dad is a school director, expelling you without a second thought.

The group stopped at the table next to his, sitting around to watch Huang Ye eat.

Huang Ye continued eating, ignoring them.

The anticipated confrontation didn't happen; they didn't come to provoke him.

Huang Ye couldn't be bothered with these school bullies. Best if they didn't mess with him. If they did, he wouldn't mind turning them into pig heads.

In his past life, he despised such bullies. Once, a bully tried to mess with him, but he didn't tolerate it, grabbing a chair and fighting back.

Though he was beaten until blood streamed from his nose and mouth, his reckless fighting scared the bullies.

Kindness invites bullying; accept it once, and they'll push their limits.

Only a strong counterattack could deter them. After that, the bullies never dared to provoke him again.

While he was thinking, the burly man stood up and walked over to his table.
