Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Chapter 308 Persuasion Education



That night, after practicing the saber for two hours, Meng Yu stopped.

It wasn't that he couldn't practice all night, but rather that Xia Hailu had a breakdown.

There was no helping it. That's the way of the academy sects: great in theory, high-grade, unbeatable in verbal sparring, even believing themselves to be invincible among peers like professors. But if they get slapped in the face a few times by a student, they crack immediately, and may even collapse.

Thankfully, she was still reasonable. She had agreed to not use magical treasures or spells, and to only engage in close combat with weapons, which she did. But after an hour and a half, her emotional state was on the brink of collapse and she couldnously wanted to use her life-bound magic artifact, which was not acceptable.

Although listening to her cries of despair was rather amusing.

"I've practiced the saber for two hundred years!"

"I've practiced the saber for two years!"

"How could I possibly lose to you?"

"How could I possibly lose to you?"

"I don't believe it, this is all an illusion."

"Ah, I know illusion techniques, shall I use Hua Miaochai's too?"

Practicing the saber had great effects, a hot tip for you: if you have a particularly prized saber move, instead of sitting and reviewing it in meditation, find a live person to spar with. If they can't be killed no matter how you cut them, and they still have some fighting back ability, then they're the best target. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

Unfortunately, Xia Hailu, who was completely blacked out from shame, twisted her expression and ran, which made Meng Yu feel somewhat helpless.

Well, Meng Yu felt enough was enough, so he went to the Quiet Room to rest, telling his subordinates not to bother him unless it was important.

"You all rest as well. If there's no news about Zhen Xue, don't call for me. I won't meet any other visitors."

The next morning, Meng Yu woke up in the training room and saw four figures that had been busy all night.

Two men and two women, his new subordinates.

Breakfast was ready, the personal terminals had the latest organized key points on display, and, most importantly, there was still no news about Ouyang Zhenxue.

Though none of the four had slept all night, none complained of fatigue. Meng Yu giving Xia Hailu a harsh beating also served as a wake-up call to everyone about how formidable their new boss was.

If this was during Foundation Establishment, what about after achieving the Golden Core?

When such an immense opportunity falls into your lap, who would slack off?

"Six different departments are tracking Master Ouyang's whereabouts, the three biggest mercenary groups have issued statements offering help, Lord Ouyang Qianli says they really don't know anything, and also..."

As information of all sorts converged, Chang Lebai hesitated a bit.

"What's wrong?" Meng Yu asked, puzzled.

Chang Lebai was a sunny beauty, with light honey-colored skin and eyes that sparkled like crescent moons when she smiled. Ever since she started following Meng Yu, she always seemed to be in high spirits, radiating joy.

But now, it was apparent that she was under a lot of pressure.

But, upon reflection, it made sense. They were just inconspicuous little Qi Cultivators, and all of a sudden they were exposed to a world so vast. Not to mention the events of the previous night, including adding their contact information to Xia Hailu's Golden Core, which illustrated the breadth of this new world to them. They were told to reach out to them in the future if Meng Yu ever needed anything...

"Is there something troubling you? Is someone threatening you?"

"No, no one's threatening us, but there have been quite a few trying to court us, dropping hints. Around a dozen Golden Core Masters have expressed their desire to visit you. I think we could keep them at arm's length, but it's up to you to permit it..."

Chang Lebai had never imagined being so sought after. Not to mention messages from everyone in the graduating class, even the school's instructors were inquiring about her situation with eager anticipation!

"List the people who want to see me in order. I'm not planning to establish a clan here on Ceres. My main focus is on finding Elder Sister Ouyang. I don't intend to build any power base. We'll talk after rescuing Ouyang Zhenxue, understand?"

"Thank you, my Lord, thank you, my Lord."

Unconsciously, the term of address for Meng Yu by the four had changed to 'my Lord.' But then again, with Ouyang Zhenxue missing, Meng Yu was indeed their boss, and it wasn't incorrect at all.

"No problem, just keep up the good work. Any problems back home?"

"It's mainly that many people are curious if you have any secrets to practicing the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber."

"For today, who's waiting outside, and who's the first person I'll be meeting?"

"Sage Rubo has been waiting outside the door. She left for less than an hour last night and then returned because you were in seclusion. After checking, she decided to wait outside."

...

Xia Hailu was blocking the entrance of the courtyard, feeling much better.

She was extremely angry last night, almost livid to the point of bursting, that damn Xiao Jun was practicing his saber while mocking her!

Lies don't hurt people, but the truth does!

Especially when he nonchalantly spoke about the simplicity of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, infuriating Xia Hailu until she wanted to throw a fit. It was like earnestly explaining to a child the hardships of making money, and then she posts a flirty video online that earns her thousands in tips in a few minutes, while looking at you innocently wondering why you've been slogging for thirty years at a job only to make less than she did with a single video.

Fuming, Xia Hailu stormed out of Meng Yu's house and saw a familiar Golden Core outside the protective formation. In her bad mood, she went straight to the old acquaintance and challenged him to a duel!

"I'm in a bad mood; let's have a fight!"

She had started doubting life itself. Could it be that everyone had been humoring her all this time?

Bring it on. The old acquaintance certainly wouldn't refuse; they had fought countless times in their routine, and he too was curious about what Xiao Jun had done to make Xia Hailu so agitated.
