Chapter 65 â Rising Again in the Miniature Ancient World
âInstructor Shi, may I know if you will allow people outside the Academy to attend your class?â Qi Lianshan sincerely asked as he looked at Shi Feng. âOf course, I will pay the 10,000 Academy Points as usual. I will also pay for the expenses of this super-large classroom.â
âPeople outside the Academy?â Shi Feng was a little surprised by Qi Lianshanâs words. âIs that allowed?â
âThe Academy isnât against it. It is fine so long as the instructor agrees,â Qi Lianshan explained. âI know this is a troublesome request for you, but I really canât think of anyone else who can help my niece, Instructor Shi.â
Upon hearing Qi Lianshanâs words, the students and instructors in the hallway fell silent.
âAm I dreaming? Instructor Qi is actually asking Instructor Shi to teach his niece?â
âWhatâs wrong with Instructor Qiâs niece?â
âYou might not know it since youâre a freshman, but Instructor Qiâs niece is someone amazing. She used to be a genius Mythology specifically went out of its way to recruit, and she had already reached the Refinement Realm at the age of 16. However, for some reason, she stopped improving after entering Mythology. Eventually, Mythology kicked her out, and she is now attending Tianshu Universityâs Godâs Domain Academy, the number one academy in our province. She still hasnât resolved this problem even until now.â
âSeeing that Instructor Qi is asking Instructor Shi for help, does that mean Instructor Shi has a solution?â
âThatâs most likely the case. This is Instructor Qi we are talking about, after all. The fact that he made such a request shows that he acknowledges Instructor Shiâs abilities.â
The bystanders exchanged words with one another, and everyone couldnât help but look at Shi Feng with curious gazes. They wondered what abilities Shi Feng possessed to receive Qi Lianshanâs acknowledgment. At the same time, they also came to understand that from today onward, their Godâs Domain Academy would probably be welcoming its fifth senior instructor. After all, apart from Qi Lianshan, Wu Xiaoxiao and two of the Academyâs Four Heavenly Kings also acknowledged and revered Shi Feng greatly. This was more than enough to show how high Shi Fengâs teaching standard was.
âOkay. You can bring her over the next time I have a class,â Shi Feng said after thinking it over. Accepting Qi Lianshanâs request wouldnât do him much harm, and he could also save on a significant expense.
âThanks a lot, Instructor Shi.â
Qi Lianshan was overjoyed when he heard Shi Fengâs answer. Immediately, he bid goodbye to Shi Feng and ran to contact his niece to have her hurry over to Jin Hai City.
Subsequently, when Shi Feng arrived downstairs and was about to exit the Teaching Block, Luo Tiancheng suddenly appeared in his way with a gloomy and manic look on his face.
âYouâve really hidden yourself well, Shi Feng. I didnât expect you to have this kind of ability. It seems President Lan and I have underestimated you,â Luo Tiancheng said, sneering as he glared at Shi Feng. âFirst it was Wu Lingling, then it was Chen Ciyou. Now, even Wu Xiaoxiao and Qi Lianshan are treating you with respect. You really are basking in glory right now. Unfortunately, what use is there for you to have glory alone?
âPresident Lan originally only planned to put some pressure on you. However, President Lan is very angry now that youâve made Shadow lose face. I heard that Blackie and the others were involved in getting you into Jin Hai University?â
âWhat are you trying to say?â Shi Feng suddenly had a bad premonition.
âNothing. You are now a celebrity at Jin Hai University. What can Shadow possibly do to you?â Luo Tiancheng said, smiling. âThe most we can do is take away Blackie and the othersâ accounts and drive them out of Shadow. After all, a small place like Shadow canât afford to accommodate bigshots like you.â
Shadow was indeed incapable of doing anything to Shi Feng right now. However, it was different for Blackie and Shi Fengâs other close friends.
âHow ruthless of Lan Hailong. Blackie and the others have not done anything to betray Shadow,â Shi Feng said, his expression turning cold when he thought about his brother-in-arms. Unlike him, Blackie and the others didnât have much money saved up. While it was true that they earned much higher wages than the average white-collar worker, they had also invested a lot of money into Godâs Domain. Thus, they didnât get to save a lot of money throughout these years.
Blackie and the others were no longer young. If they suddenly lost their income source and the accounts theyâve operated for all these years, even making a living would become a problem for them in the futureâŠ
âWho told them to be involved with you?â Luo Tiancheng laughed. âIf you want to blame someone, blame yourself for behaving arrogantly! President Lan wouldnât have gotten so angry if you hadnât behaved excessively in the Academy and made Shadow into a laughingstock!â
âGood! Very good!â Shi Feng also laughed. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said, âI didnât plan to deal with you people if you didnât provoke me, but since Lan Hailong wants to play, tell this to him for me: Since I can bring up Shadow to its current state, I can naturally make it disappear from Godâs Domain as well!â
âGood! Iâll be sure to relay these words!â
After saying so, Luo Tiancheng let out a contemptuous laugh and walked away.
The current Shadow was no longer the same as before. The Guild now had World Domination backing it. Let alone Wu Xiaoxiao and Qi Lianshan, even the Soulfire adventurer team couldnât make Shadow disappear from Godâs Domain.
Meanwhile, after Luo Tiancheng left, Shi Feng promptly gave Blackie a call.
âBrother Feng? Whatâs with the sudden call?â the slightly chubby Blackie asked in surprise.
âI heard about your matter already.â With an apologetic look on his face, Shi Feng said, âItâs all my fault that you guysâŠâ
âWhat are you talking about, Brother Feng?! How can this be your fault?! Lan Hailong wouldâve found some other reason to get rid of us old people even without your matter. Moreover, we have long since felt dissatisfied with that ungrateful bastard. He has no ability whatsoever, yet he wants to blindly issue commands every day! We canât be happier now that weâve left Shadow!â Blackie said nonchalantly. âAlso, so what if weâve left Shadow? With our abilities, what Guild wouldnât want to recruit us?â
However, despite Blackieâs words, Shi Feng knew that it wouldnât be easy for Blackie and the others to join a good Guild. It was especially true now that they were in their thirties.
While it was true that there were no age restrictions for players to develop their combat standards in Godâs Domain, the brain activity of players would deteriorate once they entered their thirties. It would become much more difficult for such players to reach higher combat standards in Godâs Domain.
Hence, the various powers in Godâs Domain would rather recruit youngsters whose combat standards were only at the Trial Towerâs fifth floor than recruit older experts at the sixth or seventh floor standards. It was especially true if these older experts used to belong to other Guilds. There was no saying whether these experts might be secretly working as spies.
âIt just so happens that I have something I want to tell you guys. I recently formed a Guild, so Iâm wondering if you are interested in joining?â
