I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"There's no need to worry or feel uneasy about a windfall. In our transaction, the value of the benefits we give is equal, and neither of us owes the other anything."

Zhao Longtu seemed to understand something, and suddenly said:

"I see, I understand completely now."

Ning Yuantai and Cao Sini, standing nearby, twitched their lips, thinking to themselves: 'No, you completely misunderstand…'

Although Xue Jing himself may really think so, feeling that he only let a little bit of something slip through his fingers.

But the two bystanders were well aware of what a tremendous blessing this was for Zhao Longtu; it was an opportunity that could change his destiny.

Ning Yuantai, in particular, knew that the most crucial factor was not what powerful martial arts Xue Jing had taught Zhao Longtu or how much his strength had improved...

The most crucial point is that from then on, the person in front of him had a 'teacher-student relationship' with Brother Xue!

No one could have believed more firmly than him how great this man would become in the future.

The fact that he had a teacher-student relationship with Xue Jing represented an enormous and terrifying benefit. Even he, who thought he firmly held the position of Xue Jing's number one underling, felt extremely envious and even jealous.

'Do fools always have good fortune...?'

Cao Sini and Ning Yuantai thought to themselves at the same time.

So, do you agree to this deal?

Xue Jing inquired.

Zhao Longtu stood up, nodded, and said, "I agree..."

A hint of hesitation flickered across his fierce face, but he still spoke in a low voice, "Teacher Xue."

As soon as he uttered the word "teacher," he seemed to let go of something, and the expression on his face softened.

"Very good." Xue Jing smiled.

"Then let's go, the afternoon classes are about to start, you should get back to the team."

……

On the training field, the students looked in surprise at the strange boy standing among them with bandages wrapped around his face.

"Dude, you've thought it through?" He Han walked up to Zhao Longtu, put his arm around his neck, and teased him.

Zhao Longtu turned to look at him, frowned, and said, "It's you, Aizen, the conman!"

“Uh…” He Han choked for a moment.

"No, how come you're still in the dark? I was just joking. My real name is Edogawa Washi, and I'm of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent. My mother is from the Far East and her name is Ijichi Nijika..."

Edogawa Washing Machine shook his head helplessly.

"So that's how it is... Then why did you lie to me just now, washing machine?" Zhao Longtu asked, puzzled.

The students around them were amused.

"Zhao, how adorable are you?"

"It's hilarious."

Chen Xingyan slapped He Han on the still-healing bump on his head and said:

"You've been fooled again... Don't talk to this bastard. His name is He Han, and he's got some mental issues."

He Han screamed and crouched down, clutching her head. Ye Jingqiu, standing beside her, pinched the ends of her hair with her fingers and laughed:

You can only believe one out of ten things this person says; you have to be careful to discern!

Seeing that Zhao Longtu was integrating into the group in a unique way, Xue Jing smiled, clapped his hands to attract the students' attention, and then spoke:

"Alright, for today's lesson, let's play a little game."

Upon hearing the word "game," many students' eyes lit up.

"Teacher, what kind of game is it?"

"I'm unbeatable at Truth or Dare."

"Can we play the King's Game, the kind without any taboos... *slurp* I really don't have any feelings for Teacher Xue, I just like playing it."

Amidst the students' expectant gazes, Xue Jing pulled out a bell from who-knows-where.

"what!!"

He Han stood up, pointed at Xue Jing, and said incredulously:

"Teacher Xue, are you trying to plagiarize Kakashi-sensei?!"

"Don't underestimate the reputation of the Copy Ninja, damn it!"

Xue Jing glanced at him: "Calm down, you Naruto fanboy."

"The bell scene appeared in the Third Hokage's memories long ago; it wasn't Kakashi's original idea."

He Han was taken aback, then a look of joy, like that of someone who had just tasted a bountiful harvest, appeared on her face: "Teacher, so you play too..."

……

Chapter 332 The Ringing Bell Means Victory: Xue Jing's Teaching Game (4K)

Xue Jing, holding a bell in his hand, addressed the students:

"The results of this joint exam are divided into two categories."

"There are two types of points: 'individual points' and 'team points'."

"Each person's final score is the sum of their individual score and team score. Individual scores are relatively difficult to obtain, so team scores are the basic guarantee for you to achieve good results."

"A skilled lone wolf may indeed achieve extremely high scores and meet the requirements for entering a prestigious university by relying on strong individual abilities, but I hope that everyone here can have a bright future."

"Therefore, as the examiner leading you, I set the tone here: in this joint examination, our main objective is to obtain a high team score."

"In that case, teamwork and tacit understanding become extremely important."

As Xue Jing spoke, he shook the bell in his hand.

Jingle Bell--

The bell rang melodiously, and Xue Jing continued:

"Next, I will tie this bell to myself..."

Before he could finish speaking, He Han raised his hand, his eyes lighting up, and said:

"Teacher, do we need to work together to snatch your bell? Only the person who snatches it gets to eat the dinner you make, and all the other students can only watch from the sidelines. Then the person who snatches it will share the food with everyone, ultimately to enhance team spirit..."

Ning Yuantai, who was standing by and waiting for Xue Jing to finish preparing the meal and was also observing the teaching process, chuckled upon hearing this.

"you think too much."

"If we follow these conditions, even in ten years, you still won't be able to snatch Brother Xue's bell."

The students looked at each other, bewildered: "What do we do then?"

Xue Jing smiled and said gently, "It's easier than you think."

He tied the bell around his waist.

"Next, you must cooperate with each other and use every means at your disposal—whether by force or trickery—to make the bell the teacher wears ring..."

He fiddled with the bell at his waist, making it jingle.

"—Then you've succeeded."

"Huh?" The students were a little stunned.

"This is too easy, Teacher Xue."

One of the students asked curiously.

"If it's just to make the bell ring once... all we need to do is make Teacher Xue move her body a little, right?"

"This is not difficult at all, Teacher Xue."

Only Cao Sini and Zhao Longtu had no objection and remained silent.

"Simple, isn't it?" Xue Jing smiled.

"I think it's quite difficult... but since you all feel that way, let's add another condition."

"If you don't finish within half an hour, you won't get any dinner tonight."

"What!?" Now everyone was a little anxious.

It's okay to miss a meal; everyone has been hungry before.

But if you miss a meal cooked by Xue Jing, you'll really miss one more meal.

"If I miss a single meal cooked by Teacher Xue... some of my things, such as my appearance, my figure, my social etiquette, my fine character and personality, and even my soul, will be ruined!"

"What kind of ancient Triassic period reference is this... but this really won't do! Losing a meal cooked by Professor Xue would be a life-altering loss!"

"Absolutely not!"

"It's on fire! Teacher Xue, I'm definitely ringing your bell!"

"That sounds weird..."

Seeing that everyone was motivated, Xue Jing nodded and said:

"Then... let's begin."

After saying that, he stood there casually, his hands behind his back, looking relaxed and unguarded.

"It should be... easy to do, right?"

The female student with thick eyebrows looked at Xue Jing and hesitated before speaking.

"It's not like we're going to defeat Teacher Xue, we just need to make the bells on his body ring... How could we not do it? Let's go!"

Some people were shouting, but no one actually took the first step forward.

Although they spoke casually, common sense and logic told them that this was an easy task to accomplish...

But looking at the handsome young man in the distance, everyone felt inexplicably guilty.

Although they had only spent less than half a day with Teacher Xue, almost all the students realized that he was a completely extraordinary person.
