My stats are higher than yours!

His years of teaching experience have also given him a certain insight into children's minds. He knows what these guys are thinking, what they find interesting and fun, and he is just playing along with them.

He could tell something was wrong with Bai Shuodong's four basic attributes at a glance. Moreover, the school doctor had also spoken with him before, and he knew that this kid had a [Blood Demon Armor], a forbidden equipment that could be upgraded. He was not the kind of useless forbidden traveler.

"More importantly..."

"He's my student!"

“I personally taught him and I know what kind of kid he is. There is absolutely no way this guy would choose this career without any certainty.”

"His eyes are very special, possessing a tenacity that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. He will seize every opportunity he can to improve his strength in the fastest way. Since he chose to become a Forbidden Walker, there must be a reason for it."

"If I can't even trust my own students... then what kind of educator am I?"

"Hmph..."

Old Bi continued sipping his tea, his smile growing even wider, and he couldn't help but hum softly.

.....

Outside

Xia Yanxin walked quickly, and Bai Shuodong followed behind her, asking curiously, "Why won't you let me explain? Because I'm not weak at all."

"You're so stupid!"

Xia Yanxin suddenly turned around, tapped Bai Shuodong's head hard with her knuckles, and continued, "There's more than one team in the college entrance exam preparation team. Those old guys in the school will definitely weigh things to promote competition among us. They won't put all the strong people into one team, especially two strong warriors. They can't be together."

"If you had explained it just now, would you still be able to join my team? You would definitely have been taken by someone else, or I would have made you the captain and led a team."

"I know, but this is what damages my reputation! My honor is ruined!" Bai Shuodong accused tearfully, his expression one of immense distress.

"..."

"That'll cost a lot more!"

"One thousand psionic points."

Xia Yanxin said with a stern face.

"Ok?"

Bai Shuodong immediately realized something was wrong. If it were before, Xia Yanxin would have been quite decisive when she made the offer and would have paid without hesitation.

But this time, she only gave him a thousand, and her expression was so serious.

"Are you poor?"

He asked curiously.

"My family is just rich, not me. I have a limited amount of spiritual energy points every month. How could I possibly squander them? If I spend too much, I won't even have enough for myself!" Xia Yanxin said, crossing her arms and turning her head to the side.

"Then why did you report 100,000 before?"

"That's the market price. I can't just lie to you with my words, can I?"

"What a kind person!"

"Humph!"

Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself: Others may not know what kind of person you are, but do you think I don't know what kind of scoundrel you are? If we don't spend more real money, he might be lured away by another team at any time. Spending more spirit points now will definitely help us avoid a lot of risks in the future.

However, thinking about 100,000 spirit points still hurts. That's 100,000 spirit points, enough for me to buy a lot of good things.

Damn it!

"Oh, by the way, what kind of benefits are there in the college entrance exam preparation team? Tell me about them!" Bai Shuodong asked curiously as he walked, his hands behind his head.

“Each person has a loan of 30,000 yuan without interest, but it must be repaid within three months. If it cannot be repaid, it must be repaid at a monthly interest rate of 10% of the market price.”

"In addition, each team member has their own private training room and free training, and there's a 8% discount on purchases made through the school's official website. Overall, it's quite good," Xia Yanxin replied.

As they walked, Bai Shuodong realized they had arrived at the school gate. He asked in confusion, "We're about to leave school. Where are you planning to take me?"

"I arranged to meet a teammate at a coffee shop outside the school so you could get acquainted with the place," Xia Yanxin replied with a smile.

"Teammates..."

Bai Shuodong couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of people his teammates would be.

Chapter Ninety: New Teammates! The Mage Gauss!

咖啡 厅

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering across the coffee shop tables.

A tall, slender young man dressed in a wine-red robe sat opposite the two men. He wore a silver ring on the little finger of his left hand. The ring was very eye-catching because it was too ordinary and did not match the status of a mage.

His long, dark brown curly hair covered half of his eyes, and his amber eyes looked at the two people in front of him. His demeanor was like that of an old, well-worn book, carrying a composure beyond his years.

He took the initiative to introduce himself: "It's a pleasure to meet you both. My name is Gauss. I specialize in academics and research. My profession is the legendary Omniscient Scholar, level... 3."

"Level 3?"

Bai Shuodong's change in expression indicated that Gauss had already become a psionicist, and his cultivation progress was much faster than theirs. Even if he wasn't a high-level mage, he was still a high-level mage far surpassing normal people.

There are very few legendary figures in the academy; besides Xia Yanxin, only Lin Zilong remains.

But this only applies to the Warriors' Academy.

The mage academy is different. Every mage who can avoid being expelled is guaranteed to have a top-tier lord-level profession. Most mages are hero-level, and there are even quite a few legendary-level mages.

Students who can enter the law academy to study law are basically either extremely talented or very rich. A few are not only talented but also rich, and their strength is extremely formidable.

Bai Shuodong leaned closer and quietly asked, "Are you sure you're the captain?"

"..."

Xia Yan was unsure, feeling that there might be a problem with the school's allocation system.

“You two don’t need to be like that. Although I am of a higher rank, I cannot cast spells without chanting, so it is normal that my status in the court is lower and I cannot compete for the captain position,” Gauss explained.

"what?"

Bai Shuodong tilted his head in confusion.

A legendary mage told me he can't cast spells without chanting. Are you kidding me?

"it is true."

Gauss lowered his eyes, recalling a memory from the past.

He was the perfect child from a young age. Whether in terms of academic performance or talent, he was far ahead of his peers and even had a considerable reputation in the world of mages.

His world is simple, like a well-ordered equation, where everything is orderly and cause and effect are clear.

Until one day

He encountered an idiot.

Her name is Ye Chan, and she calls herself the "Observer of Truth." She claims that there are truths in this world that ordinary people cannot observe, and Gauss is a person qualified to witness these truths.

She said, "Gauss, do you know? The essence of everything is resonance, it's frequency. As long as we can feel the corresponding frequency fluctuations, we can feel the true truth and master the power."

He said, "That's not scientific."

"Science is the lie of the observer! True power comes from understanding! Understanding is resonance!"

At the tender age of twelve, Ye Chan stood with her arms outstretched in the setting sun, shouting at the abandoned construction building: "In the name of the observer, I command you, burn, silent truth!"

The fire started.

But there was only a tiny handful.

Ye Chan looked at the fire excitedly and shouted, "Look, look! This is the flame of truth!"

"idiot."

Gauss was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that it was a fire that Ye Chan had forcibly ignited with her talent, but even so, he still did not point it out.

From that moment on, he felt that perhaps his world didn't have to be so precise.

Ye Chan has good talent, but she always likes to say things in class that no one can understand. Her private tutor is quite helpless about this, feeling that she is wasting her talent, and countless people criticize her.

After a long time

Gauss sat with her on the rooftop. The smile on her face was gone. She asked, "They all say I'm a silly kid who only talks nonsense."

"Ah."

Do you think so too?

"Ah."

"Hmm...were you lying to me just now?"

"Ah."

"I knew it!"

"Ah."

She laughed again, and with that smile, she seemed to transform back into her former self. The girl in the sunset was incredibly beautiful, and that image was etched deep into Gauss's memory, locking it away forever.

"From today onwards, you are my exclusive resonance partner!"

That's what she said that day.
