"It's good that she is finally cured. Duan Li, I don't know how to thank you, but on behalf of the Vice-Principal and Liu Sheng Juan that isn't here right now, let me express my sincerest thanks and gratitude. Here, take this." the Principal said and took out an item from his spatial ring.
Weng!!
"T-That is.." some of them who knew what the item was gasped in surprise.
The Principal nodded in satisfaction seeing their shocked face. Indeed, a true man would show his sincerity of thanks by presenting something and not just empty words!
As the old saying goes; 'Action justifies words!'
"This is an ancient artifact that could scan physical object and recall it back to memory once you instructed it with just a single thought." a metallic spherical object appeared on his hand as he handed it over to Duan Li.
He sighed inwardly from letting such a precious object off into another's hand. After all, this was the ancient artifact dubbed as the 'Wisdom Stone' that came from an unknown civilization back in the past. In addition, there was only a few of them in existence and was thus extremely rare to come by!
"But since its memory has been used to its full capacity, you could only recall and no longer scan any new object. We used it to perform a backup of the entire books in the library, including and not limited to, the collection of books from the various schools and classes within the academy!" he added.
Realizing the value of this object that was handed over to him, Duan Li could not contain the eagerness in his eyes!
All sorts of books in it that could be recalled with a mere thought? Isn't this like a portable, convenient library that I could access on anytime I want?
But then again.. I thought that certain books are forbidden to be accessed without the proper permission and authority.. he said this thing contained all of those?
Wouldn't that basically meant that I could read all of them without requiring any sorts of permission?
Is this even allowed?
"Are you really sure that you would give me such a valuable artifact Principal?" Duan Li asked the Principal with excitement albeit feeling a certain doubt in him.
"Hmm? No way, I am only lending it to you! Look at the back of the sphere.. it's not even mine. That thing cost the Empire quite a fortune to procure.." the Principal replied dismissively.
Eh?
After which, Duan Li turned the sphere around and could see the words etched clearly on it and read it out loud;
'Property of the Jiu Empire. Note, Do not take this outside of the academy's repository - Jiu Xian Ping.'
"Huh?" everyone's eyes bulged hearing the name of the person in that last sentence.
Isn't that the name of our Emperor?!
Duan Li looked up towards the Principal with a weird look, full of disbelief.
Cough! Cough!
Seemingly to understand the meaning behind that stare of the other party, the Principal made a dry cough, "I.. I borrowed it from the academy's repository and carried it around with me because I love to read books in my spare time.. and besides, its far more safer with me!" he said awkwardly, trying to justify his actions.
The others also gave him a suspicious look.
Didn't it clearly state that you shouldn't take it outside of the academy's repository?
Heck, it was even instructed by the Emperor himself!
"W-What is with you guys now? Such a useful artifact like that to be sitting around collecting dust in the repository, wouldn't that be such a huge waste? Thus, I took on the noble cause myself to let it shine and see the world outside!" he explained in a fluster.
But seeing them still giving him that glaring suspicious stare on him, he gritted his teeth and conjured out his whip.
Pah! Pah!
Whipping it on the ground a few times, he bellowed out, "Alright, I admit that I took it outside even when its not allowed. But so what? I am the Principal of the academy and can do whatever I want! You students shouldn't be too nosy about the affairs of your Principal here! Hmph!!" he snorted with a smug face.
Hearing this, black streaks of line appeared on their face as they decided to shrug the matter off.
As the other party had said, it's true that the position of a Principal was the highest in the academy and could practically do anything they want.
But still, for a Principal of the academy to take out such an artifact so casually and did as such, despite that it was not allowed.. isn't that a little bit shameless thing to do?
Meng Yue chuckled, "Don't even bother, this guy has a track record of going against the rules for so many times back in the past that I had lost count!" she said and laughed.
"Y-You! You should be siding with me as as my long time old friend rather than selling me out like that! Besides, if we are to talk about going against the rules, I'm pretty confident that you stand at the very pinnacle of everyone else! Hah!" the Principal retorted back with a sarcastic remark.
"Huh? It seems that you growing old had let you grew a pair of bigger balls as well. But I thank you for the compliment, its not such a big deal. Heh heh!" Meng Yue snickered.
"Y-You..!" the Principal clenched his whip tight in frustration.
Meanwhile, Duan Li's face turned red in embarrassment hearing that replies from his mother and face-palmed himself.
Mother.. I don't think that's something you should be proud about..
From the side, Duan Li's party observed his reaction as well and secretly thought to themselves..
"What are you acting on about, you're even shameless yourself sometimes as well.."
They remembered how their Lord would sometimes state something impossible as if it were an easy thing to do for everyone so casually..
Like Mother, like son indeed..
Ahem!
"Principal.. would you care to elaborate more on the battle strategy for tomorrow?" Zhuge Liang chimed in to stop the bickering between the Principal and Duan Li's mother.
"Ahh that's right!" the Principal snapped back to himself as he realized that they've been dilly-dallying for too long and put on a serious expression once more.
"As I've said before in front of the other students, Squad six through nine would watch out your backs for any 3 Star monsters among the monster stampede. If you guys happen to encounter one and we hadn't come to your aid yet, do not engage it and just retreat." he said and then turned towards Duan Li.
"And remember the Emperor's decree, no harm should befall on Duan Li's life either." he added.
"Does that mean we shouldn't let him become the vanguard?" Shen Lu asked, feeling a little bit troubled as the majority of their plan involves Duan Li actively assaulting the enemy.
The Principal shook his head, "No, this fellow here should be able to take care of himself I think. Even some 3 Star monsters ganging up on him wouldn't be able to take him out without expending quite an effort.. just make sure he stays alive."
The four squad leaders that heard this statement couldn't help but to be surprised, including Zhuge Liang.
He knew that the other party was very formidable in the field of medical arts, but as for battle prowess?
If what the Principal just said was the truth, then the other party was already on par with the members of their Subjugation Squads..
But that's strange, because from his aura, it seems that he is still in the Foundation establishment realm.. even if he did cultivate with all three dantian, Is he really that formidable?
Various thoughts rang inside their mind as to how capable this man in front of them were, and when they cast a look on the other party's followers, they saw that none of them showed any expression of being surprised at all!
This had them deeply intrigued and looked forward into seeing the latter's battle prowess on the battlefield tomorrow.
...
After briefing them the rest of the battle strategy for tomorrow, the Principal then turned towards the four squad leaders, "The members of the Eighth and Ninth squad had already divided themselves and went to each front respectively, so the rest of you squad leaders should do the same as well with your members!"
Hesitating for a while, he then continued with a solemn expression, "Lastly.. there is a high probability that the Dark Sect will make their appearance tomorrow because of this virus. If you guys happen to meet them.. do not even think of fighting and just run away! You should also immediately inform it to me directly, understood?"
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
After their meeting was adjourned, the squad leaders then quickly dispersed to carry out their respective orders immediately.
Just before Duan Li and his party were to exit the tent too, the Principal called out to Duan Li.
"If you meet them.. don't be reckless, you understand?" he said.
With his back facing against the Principal, Duan Li only made a smile and then left the tent with his followers behind him, without giving the former any replies at all.
Sigh..
"What are the chances that he would engage the Dark Sect should they appear tomorrow?" he asked Meng Yue.
The latter stood silent for a while and then looked towards the exit from where her son had just left, "He is my son.. and now that he knows.. they would do well and wish to never meet him tomorrow.."
Hearing this, the Principal frowned.
"What are you saying? You know full well of what they are capable off! Even with my means, I am not confident that I would be able to take them one on one!"
Meng Yue shook her head, "You only saw what he is currently capable of.. not what he could actually do.."
"What do you mean?" the Principal asked.
Meng Yue replied, "I could feel that my son.. is being backed by an existence that neither you nor I, or anyone else could possibly imagine.."
She slowly walked forward to the exit, and then stopped before continuing;
"If only you knew just what kind of father he has, it would give you a thorough glimpse that, even if the whole world were to turn against him, he would still remain.. unbeatable, invincible and unparalleled!"
After saying that piece, she then left the tent, leaving only the Principal alone to contemplate on that last sentence of her's.
"Who his father was? Hmm.." he decided to investigate the identity of Duan Li's father when he get back to the academy next time.
"But despite what you have just said, you still turned violent against me a while ago from letting your son fought against those monsters alone! And look at you now saying such enigmatic things.. Hmph!" he snorted, feeling a little bit indignant inside.
...
Outside the tent, Meng Yue continued to walk and tour around the camp as she relished the memories from back then, back when she was still an active part of the Subjugation Squad.
Tilting her head up towards the sky with a melancholic look, she muttered to herself, "Now that he had become a cultivator, his facial features and figure really does resemble you a lot.. I wonder.. when will you return back here.."
Sigh..
...
After having a good night's rest, the day has finally come.
Forming their ranks and groups, each of them wore a serious expression on their face.
They had two objectives to complete by the end of the day today;
To slay all the monsters down..
And to remain alive!
POOOOONNNNNNNNNN!!
As the trumpets of war was being blown and the sound echoed throughout the silent battlefield, each began to clenched the grip of their weapons tight and their backs started to sweat.
The monster stampede has come!
