Chapter 2069: Only Have One Student
Ning Shu was counting on Little Bean to make the Attacking Vital Energy course become a big hit. This way, the number of people who cultivated the Unsurpassable Martial Arts would increase, which would in turn increase her faith power.
When they got to the academy tournament, Ning Shu comforted the anxious Little Bean, “Don’t be nervous. You’re more powerful than all of them.”
Ning Shu wore the uniform for instructors, a white robe, and sat in the designated seats for instructors.
“You still want to participate in the tournament with only two students?” Instructor Wen, who sat beside her, gently asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu stuck out her finger and wagged it, “No no, I only have one student.”
“You’re relying on just one person—Little Bean?” Instructor Wen couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re counting on Little Bean to battle everyone?”
Ning Shu slightly lifted her chin, “Of course.”
“Let’s make a bet. If my little brother gets into the top 50, how about I pull off a few scales from your golden dragon?” Ning Shu asked Instructor Wen.
Little Grass had slept for some time after it absorbed the phoenix’s Nirvana flames. When it woke up, Little Grass had become a lot more powerful. It almost instantly stretched countless vines out and enveloped the entire academy.
Its intelligence also increased a lot.
Little Grass coveted the attribute type of Instructor Wen’s golden dragon.
The golden dragon was a metal-type summoned beast that had a powerful and destructive force.
“I naturally don’t dare to look down upon Attacking Vital Energy. Plus, things like scales shouldn’t be bet on.” Instructor Wen said lightly.
Ning Shu curled her lip, “Boring.”
Little Grass floated near Ning Shu, and jabbered to her, “He’s so stingy.”
“It’s his summoned beast. It’s normal to not want to bet on it.” Ning Shu didn’t mind.
“Does your golden dragon shed off its skin?” Ning Shu then asked Instructor Wen.
Instructor Wen stared at the battle situation in the arena, and said gently, “What I have is a dragon, not a snake. It doesn’t shed.”
Ning Shu didn’t ask any more questions and instead stared at the arena. Little Bean would be going up next round.
“Next round, Yue Jun vs Zhou Tian.”
Little Bean wore his uniform and entered the arena. His small face was serious, and he looked at Ning Shu. Ning Shu slightly smiled at Little Bean and nodded.
The battle started. Little Bean clenched his fist and fought against his opponent’s summoned beast.
“Haa, if a summoner cultivated Attacking Vital Energy, it’d be two against one. The odds of winning would increase by a lot.” Instructor Wen saw that the summoner was just watching the battle from the side and couldn’t help but sigh.
Summoners looked down on those who cultivated martial skills. This kind of idea was deeply ingrained in society and was difficult to change.
Little Bean didn’t even need to release his energy. He was able to defeat his opponent’s summoned beast just using his fists and legs.
“Yue Jun wins.”
A smile emerged on Ning Shu’s face.
“Wonderful!” Ning Shu high-fived Little Bean.
“Very good.” Instructor Wen praised Little Bean.
In the following rounds, Little Bean won steadily.
Ning Shu asked Instructor Wen, “Instructor, what level have you currently cultivated to?”
“I’m about to form the energy you’ve talked about.” Instructor Wen grasped his fist and felt the force inside his body stirring agitatedly.
Ning Shu proudly laughed.“Little Bean’s energy has already formed into a shape. Age doesn’t necessarily determine one’s cultivation speed.”
“That’s indeed true.” Instructor Wen nodded in approval.
Ning Shu then asked, “Your golden dragon’s scales don’t ever fall off?”
