Sima Lingling put down her coffee cup:
"I am indeed divorced, not widowed, and I have no children, so thereâs nothing holding me back.
"As for the reason, itâs also a very realistic issue in marriage.
"The two of us were running together, and suddenly I broke my leg. He kept running, and in the end, I couldnât catch up, so we agreed to separate. There was no third-party drama you imagined, nor was it because I gained weight.
"No one wore Pinruâs clothes either.
"I gained weight because Iâve reached the age where this is the most normal state."
Sima Lingling looked at Su Yue, a special smile lingering on her lips.
"No, teacher, you misunderstood, I wasnât overthinking."
Su Yue gritted her teeth, wishing she could take off her own head.
Are you a priest or a divination master?
How do you know what Iâm thinking?
I just briefly imagined, really just for a second.
I meant no harm.
But why did you guess it all?
In front of Sima Lingling, Su Yue felt like she was transparent.
"When I was young, the Second Battlefield was still very challenging. At that time, humans were on the defensive, and everyone was basically cowering under the fortress walls, not daring to venture out.
"Then, the amplification system wasnât as obsolete as it is now. My ex-husband and I worked together, as alien races constantly came to die. Although my ex-husband was a fourth grade, with my amplification, he could exert a pseudo-fifth grade strength, killing many aliens.
"Eventually, he broke through to become a Grandmaster, and my amplification was no longer needed.
"At that time, the Second Battlefield encountered the human race counterattack, so amplification martial artists like me couldnât keep up and eventually had to return to West Wudang as instructors, preserving some intangible cultural heritage in the process.
"Oh, and the Second Battlefieldâs great victory is also thanks to your father."
Sima Lingling said.
"My dad?"
Su Yue was taken aback.
"Su Qingfeng rose up on the Second Battlefield, eventually earning the title of Prince Qing. He was known for cutting down aliens everywhere, a truly god-like fierce figure akin to Lang Li Baitiao at the time.
"Sadly, after so many years, with generation after generation, except for some old-timers, many people no longer know the deeds of Prince Qing."
Sima Lingling sighed.
"Well, itâs all in the past."
Su Yue nodded as well.
Dad used to be so awesome?
"You two go back and rest first. If you have any questions or want to learn battle tactics, feel free to find me anytime.
"Ma Xiaoyu, youâre not ready yet; you need to seal your grade first, or you wonât withstand the pain of learning battle tactics.
"Alas, that means only Su Yue can practice."
Sima Lingling shook her head.
"Teacher, I think every battle tactic has its existence value, and amplification tactics shouldnât just be an intangible cultural heritage.
"Is there a way to restore its glory? Like mass amplification or something."
Su Yue asked again.
"No.
"If there really was mass amplification, would priests like us have fallen to this extent?
"Every type of outdated tactic is essentially low in cost-effectiveness and efficiency, and thereâs no solution to that... Iâm thankful that Su Yue, being inherently strong, can use amplification tactics to enhance herself, which is indeed a different path. Unfortunately, others donât have your high talent."
Sima Lingling sighed again.
...
Fan City.
Originally a small city, not even a provincial capital, its economy and population were unremarkable.
But in recent years, Fan City made its way into the public eye.
The reason is Fan Cityâs B-class Wuda... Zhiwu.
Ten years ago.
B-class Wuda Zhiwu was established in Fan City.
In just ten years, Zhiwu rapidly rose, with both student strength and faculty level approaching those of A-class Wuda.
This time, as the Ministry of Education reclassified Wuda levels, Zhiwu became a very popular school.
Zhiwuâs principal, Ning Yutao.
Although he is only a Fifth-Grade Martial Artist, he achieved numerous feats in the Wetland, and he is also a great principal.
Ning Yutao donated all his earnings from the Wetland to Zhiwu.
He is beloved by the students.
He frequently appears on the Ministry of Educationâs commendation list.
Because of his personal charisma, he even raised a lot of donations.
Under this excellent principalâs leadership, Zhiwu continuously strives toward the goal of becoming an A-class Wuda.
days later.
Zhiwu will host the annual "B Martial Freshman Promotion Association" as scheduled.
Every year, about a month after the start of school, under Zhiwuâs hosting, many B-class Wuda would bring some stronger students to participate in this promotion association.
Although B Martialâs students are those with card scores of just 15 or 16.
Even the weak have a heart aspiring for strength.
A-class Wudaâs joint events never bother to invite B Martial to participate.
The Four Great Martial Arts Academies are so high above.
So B-class Wuda hosts some joint events.
Zhiwuâs freshman promotion association has already been held for ten years.
Initially, with rewards of just a dozen pills and participation from only three B Martial schools.
The promotion association has walked through ten years.
Now, more than 50 B Martial schools compete to attend the promotion association.
And the prize for the champion spar is no longer a shabby few pills, but now has become a D-grade weapon.
If a student can break through to the first grade before the promotion association, Zhiwu would offer a large number of credits as rewards, even if youâre not a Zhiwu student, as long as you come, you get a reward.
Because of this, activities hosted by Zhiwu also become a grand event for all B Martial schools.
