Lan Jue laughed. "You're such a cowardly fatso!
In terms of determination, you're not as good as Jin Tao, but that's your nature.
Don't worry, you'll suffer, but you won't be in danger like Jin Tao.
His talent is too poor, and he won't be able to achieve as much as you in the future without some extreme measures. "
Tang Xiao's jaw dropped. "Professor, you're not going to tell me that the danger you're talking about is the possibility of him becoming a ninth-level Adept, are you?"
Lan Jue looked at him with interest. "You're pretty quick on the uptake, aren't you?"
"I'm going to faint …" Tang Xiao made a dizzy face. "This kid's got it. If he can become a ninth-level Adept, I'm sure most people would be willing to give it a try no matter how dangerous it is.
That's at the top of the human pyramid!
That Doggy Jin's luck is just too good. "
Lan Jue said indifferently. "My request for you is simple. Don't let him surpass you.
If one day, you are surpassed by him.
That means you're no longer qualified to be my student.
Do you understand?
Alright, you can go back for today.
From tomorrow onwards, your training will officially begin.
I'll give you an address when the time comes. The academy isn't the right place to train you. "
"Yes, Professor." Tang Xiao stood up and replied respectfully.
As he turned to leave, he stopped in his tracks. In a low voice he spoke to Lan Jue. "Professor," he said, "if one day I become strong enough …
Can I beat up the guy who beat us yesterday? "
Lan Jue paused, then laughed heartily. "Alright.
If one day you can beat him up.
I'll be proud of you. "
Tang Xiao's hands curled into tight fists.
"Of course!"
With that, he transformed into an agile fatso and left.
"Damn, that fatso wants to beat me up." An angry voice drifted over from nearby.
"Isn't it good to have such lofty ambitions?
If one day, you can't even beat my disciple, you, Neptune, should step down. "Lan Jue was not surprised by the voice.
He said with a grin.
"Wishful thinking."
Huali said snappily, "By the way, are you really going to teach these two guys a lesson?"
Lan Jue nodded. "If what Piao Hong said is true, then as Rank 9 Adepts, we all have a responsibility to do something for humanity."
Huali said, "Should we promise them when we get back?"
Lan Jue nodded again, and there was determination in the depths of her eyes. "What are personal gains and losses compared to the entire human race?
Furthermore …
I haven't polished myself for three years.
It was time for Thor to evolve.
Once this open battle is over, I'll start working hard to improve myself.
We can't fall too far behind Boss. "
"Sure!
Then let's work hard together.
Without you running in front of me, I don't have the energy to catch up. "Huali put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking handsome.
But his handsomeness was completely covered by the hat on his head, the glasses on his face, and the mask on his face.
At this moment, Jin Tao walked towards them with a puzzled Jin Yan.
When she saw that the one sitting on the chair was indeed Lan Jue, Jin Yan's expression visibly relaxed.
"Miss Lan." Jin Yan smiled and greeted Lan Jue.
Lan Jue stood up and returned the greeting. "Hello, Mr.Jin.
It's a bit presumptuous to ask Jin Tao to invite you over, but this matter is indeed very important.
As his closest relative, I think it's better to discuss it with you and your family before making a decision. "
Jin Yan looked at Lan Jue in surprise. "Miss Lan, don't scare me.
What's so serious?
Ergou, did you do something wrong again? "
Jin Tao had only pulled her over because he didn't know what Lan Jue wanted to do, so he naturally couldn't explain it to his sister.
Lan Jue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's not that he did anything wrong.
Mr.Jin, don't be anxious. Listen to me clearly.
It's like this, I'm planning to officially accept Jin Tao as my disciple. "
Jin Yan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "That's a good thing!
This kid, we should have trained him well a long time ago.
Miss Lan, you don't know this, but that day when you first taught, I saw Jin Tao's unprecedented focus. At that time, I knew that only you could teach him.
To be honest, my parents and I don't have high expectations for him. We just hope that he can be a useful person to society in the future.
It's great that you're willing to teach him. "
This time it was Lan Jue's turn to stare blankly. She looked at Jin Tao, only to see Ergou Jin clenching his fists tightly.
No wonder he chased after opportunities so hard. Even his family never had any expectations for him.
As a man, an adult, he had suppressed many, many things in his heart.
Behind that madness was a sense of inferiority, and a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.
"Mr.Jin, I'll be training Jin Tao's ability, but there's a chance he'll run into danger during the training process.
I can't guarantee his safety.
Of course, I'll do my best to protect him, but the chances of him getting hurt aren't high.
That's why I wanted to greet you.
Also, if Jin Tao wants to learn from me, he'll have to leave school for a period of time. I need to help him build his foundation before he can improve faster.
I'm afraid it'll take more than three months.
That's why I need to help him take sick leave.
This requires your and your family's approval. "Lan Jue still made it clear.
"Sick leave?
Three months? "
There was a thoughtful look in Jin Yan's eyes, and her expression changed slightly. After a moment, to Lan Jue's surprise, she nodded her head vigorously. Her voice was full of bitterness. "That's right!
Jin Tao's foundation is too weak. No matter what he learns, he'll need to start from scratch. Miss Lan, I'm sorry to trouble you.
No problem, I'll help him take sick leave.
Actually, if it weren't for his family pulling some strings, he wouldn't even have the chance to enter school.
He'd have no chance of graduating.
Miss Lan, I'll have to trouble you in the future. "
Jin Yan bowed politely to Lan Jue. "I'll take him to do it." With that, she pulled Jin Tao away.
Lan Jue was left behind, his face a mask of shock.
"She actually agreed so quickly?" Lan Jue muttered to herself doubtfully.
Huali said faintly, "I think this woman didn't hear the part about the danger clearly.
One is Jin Tao. This kid probably hasn't done anything serious since he was young. He disappointed his family too much.
The other one is that this woman has already fallen for you.
Naturally, she has unconditional trust in you. "
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lan Jue said snappily.
"Tsk!" Huali said disdainfully. "In terms of reading people, you're not as good as me.
I have to admit that without me around, you're still a little attractive. "
Lan Jue turned around. "Huali, take advantage of the fact that my strength hasn't fully recovered. You can be as cocky as you want."
Huali laughed. "So what if you've recovered?
As if you can win against me. "
Lan Jue raised her fist. "We'll know when we try.
Oh, right. In two days, the Academy will be organizing a trip to Planet Taihua.
I'm afraid I'll have to go.
As a transfer student, I don't think you'll be able to make it. "
Huali frowned. "You're leaving Skyfire?
Can't you? "
Lan Jue said coolly, "What?
Are you afraid they'll hunt me down? "
Huali said, "Your Discipline has only recovered about ten or twenty percent.
If you leave Skyfire, you'll be in danger. "
Lan Jue lifted her left hand, revealing Thor's oath. "Don't worry, I'll take Thor with me. It's not too badly damaged, and has mostly been repaired.
And Planet Taihua is so close.
This time, there's nothing holding us back. With Thor's abilities, even if he can't beat them, can't he escape?
I'll only be gone for a few days. I'll be back soon.
There's another reason you can't go with me. I'm planning on giving Jin Tao the Dreamgenetica medicine tomorrow. You have to help me keep an eye on him. Don't let anything happen to him. "
Huali thought for a moment. "Alright.
The chances of something happening on Planet Taihua aren't high.
Still, you have to be careful.
I'll have someone erase all traces of you leaving Skyfire.
Go early and come back early. "
Lan Jue nodded. "I know what I'm doing."
Huali said, "If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, can we go back?
It's best if we go to Dreamburg to communicate. "
The image of Zhou Qianlin floated into Lan Jue's mind. She nodded. "That's fine. Let's go back first.
I'll come back if there's anything else. "
Back on Skyfire Avenue, Lan Jue and Huali entered the Zeus Jewelry Shop's warehouse and logged into DreamNet.
"You've agreed?" Faced with Zeus's confirmation, Piao Hong couldn't quite believe it.
In a single day, the Four Divine Monarchs had agreed to her unreasonable request.
Although the rewards would be very generous, it was still a taboo for a God Tier to expose his mecha abilities to the three major alliances.
Zeus's voice was calm. "We're not agreeing for DreamNet, nor for the rewards.
We're just here for what you said yesterday.
I hope everything you said is true.
If not, then no matter how strong the DreamNet Guardians are, we'll fight to the bitter end.
At the same time, while agreeing to this matter, I also hope that you can do me a favor.
For DreamNet, this shouldn't be too difficult. "
"Speak." Piao Hong didn't even ask what it was. She turned to Zeus.
Zeus lifted a hand, and a beam of light shot toward Piao Hong. Piao Hong caught it. It was a stream of data. More accurately, it was a video.
"Help me find this woman.
She lied to me, and took something she shouldn't have. "Zeus's voice was soft.
First night watch, today fourth watch.
