Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

Chapter 57 The Choice of Mentor! Lu the Madman?

"Specialist in staff/stick techniques, practical, hands-off approach, protective of their own, combat strength assessed as Battle Venerable level or above... Screening in progress... Please wait... (⑉･̆-･̆⑉)"

The list on the phone screen began to scroll and filter rapidly.

In just a few seconds, the list, which was originally ten pages long, was gone.

The number was quickly reduced to only four.

"Screening complete! There are four mentors who meet all your core criteria, and all of them are Seventh Realm Battle Venerables!"

Xiao Xiao's voice carried a hint of excitement as she highlighted the information of the four mentors.

They were displayed side-by-side on the screen for Chen Xing's convenience.

Chen Xing's gaze swept over the four concise but information-rich documents one by one:

1. Lei Dong, Seventh Realm Battle Venerable, 53 years old.

Talent: S-rank [Thunder Battle Body].

Specializes in: Thunder-based staff techniques, and created the A+ level staff technique "Nine Thunder Strikes," which is fierce, domineering, and as swift as lightning.

Style: Free-range, active on the front lines of the Southern Theater Command year-round, appearing and disappearing like a dragon, but if his students are in danger, he will rush to their aid at the first moment.

Record: He once single-handedly fought his way through a sixth-tier monster horde and rescued the trapped squad.

A student commented: "Teacher Lei? I've been enrolled for three years and only seen him twice, once at the beginning of the semester and once when I was almost swallowed by a monster. But the moment he appeared, I felt like I wouldn't be afraid of even the King of Heaven himself."

Current status: Stationed on the front lines of the war zone, expected to return to school in three months.

2. Lu Ya, a seventh-realm battle lord, 47 years old.

Talent: S-rank [Burning Heaven Body].

Specializes in: Fire-based staff techniques, and created the S-level staff technique "Nine Forms of Burning Heaven", which combines terrifying explosive power with exquisite control.

Style: Extremely protective of his own, and known throughout the school and even the Southern Theater Command for his "outrageous" and "crazy" antics; he's known in the community as "Crazy Lu." His teaching methods are unconventional and unbelievable, but the results are outstanding.

His achievements include: once, when his students were threatened by a cult, he single-handedly stormed the cult's headquarters, tied up all their bishops, and hung them on the city gate of Shenzhen to dry in the sun for three days.

Student evaluation:

"Teacher Lu? He's really crazy. His training can make people question the meaning of life."

"But he's really strong, and as long as you acknowledge him as your teacher, he'll take the blame for you even if you cause a huge disaster."

"Following him, your strength will improve like a rocket, but you also need to have a strong heart."

Current status: At school, residing in Villa No. 6, Tinglanyuan.

3. Mo Wuhen, a seventh-realm battle master, age unknown (approximately 50).

Talent: S-rank [Shadow Hand].

Specializes in: Shadow-style staff techniques, and created the A+ level staff technique "Nine Shadowless Staffs", which is unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

Style: Extremely low-key, with a faint presence and mysterious whereabouts, but always able to quietly appear when students need guidance the most or encounter a fatal crisis.

Record: Successfully assassinated a mid-level seventh-tier demon beast known for its cunning and perception, without triggering any alarms.

A student commented: "Teacher Mo? Does he take on students? I think I've heard of him, but I've never seen him in person..."

Current status: On campus, but no one knows their exact location.

4. Tie Wushuang, Seventh Realm Battle Venerable, 62 years old.

Talent: A-grade [Diamond Body] (cultivated to a level comparable to S-grade defense).

Specialties: Body tempering and staff techniques. He created the A-level staff technique "Diamond Staff," which emphasizes defense, foundation, and using brute force to overcome skill.

Style: A traditional, strict teacher who is almost demanding in terms of basic skills, meticulous in teaching, and extremely responsible.

Battle record: To protect several seriously injured students behind him, he withstood the continuous attacks of the seventh-tier demon beast, the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros, for half an hour without retreating a single step.

Student evaluation:

"Teacher Tie is very strict, extremely strict. Training with him is like being in purgatory."

"But he truly cares about you; his foundation is incredibly solid. When you go out to fight, almost no one of your level can break through my defense."

Current status: At school, residing in a villa in the teaching area.

Chen Xing's gaze fell on the second document—Lu Ya—

It stayed on the top the longest.

S-level self-created staff technique, extremely protective of its own.

Their style is wild and they love to create hilarious surprises...

Moreover, and most importantly, he lives in Villa No. 6, Tinglanyuan.

This villa, number 7, is next door to me.

"Xiao Xiao, is this mentor Lu Ya really staying at Villa No. 6? Next door to me?" Chen Xing confirmed.

"Yeah, yeah! Right next door!"

"Turn left after exiting the gate, walk through a small bamboo grove, and it's only a one-minute walk! (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧"

Xiao Xiao was jumping around on the screen, laughing and saying,

"How about it, Brother Xing? Are you tempted?"

"This guy is a well-known 'treasure' and 'devil' in our war academy."

"Follow him, and I guarantee your college life will be incredibly exciting!"

"Should we go pay him a visit now? He's definitely here! ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)"

Chen Xing acted almost without hesitation.

One is powerful, protective of his own, and lives right next door.

A mentor you can consult anytime is obviously better than one who is elusive and rarely seen.

Or perhaps a more serious and traditional mentor would be a better fit for his needs and personality.

"Let's go take a look."

Chen Xing put away his phone, and Xiao Xiao on the screen immediately switched back to her holographic form, floating beside him.

……

The villas in Tinglan Garden are separated by meticulously designed gardens.

The bamboo groves and paths offer a tranquil and private environment.

Chen Xing went out, turned left, and walked along a gravel path for less than a minute.

Then another white villa with a similar style appeared in front of us, with the number "6" clearly marked on the door.

Unlike the neatness of Villa No. 7, the small garden in front of Villa No. 6 looked somewhat... messy.

Several plants and flowers had charred marks from being burned, and there was a lingering smell in the air as if something had been roasted by the high temperature.

But the villa itself appears to be intact.

"This is it! Knock on the door, he'll definitely be there!"

Xiao Xiao floated to the door and gestured for them to enter.

Chen Xing pressed the doorbell.

The door was practically pulled open, very quickly.

A person wearing a flashy Hawaiian-style shirt and loose beach shorts.

A middle-aged man wearing flip-flops and with hair as messy as a bird's nest appeared at the door.

He had an unlit cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.

He was holding a brand-new game controller, and the intense battle sound effects on the screen could be heard coming from inside the room.

The man raised his eyelids and looked Chen Xing up and down.

Those eyes, which had been somewhat languid and listless, suddenly lit up.

It was as if they had discovered some interesting toy.
