Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

Ying Qin Guan thought for a moment and asked, "What exactly do I need to do? Is it just to unleash a consciousness slash?"

"Based on the students' effective responses in the Mind Slash, the Mind Slash is applied to the students in an adjusted manner... Simply put, it's just applying the Mind Slash, which is not wrong."

Ying Qin was surprised to find such a good deal – he could get money just by scaring people – and immediately agreed.

"no problem!"

Wu Changying laughed and said, "Then... let's go and gather the students who are willing to participate in the internal test. The first class will start at 2 PM this Sunday in room 1027 of the Bird's Nest, is that alright?"

—Due to the unique nature of Consciousness Slash, this course does not require the use of a combat arena. And until a decision is made to promote it, it's better to keep it a secret from as few people as possible.

Ying Qin Guan nodded and agreed to the matter. He then rushed to the board game arcade without stopping.

-

Inside the board game arcade, Nocturne randomly appeared here. Together with two regular players, and Fu Feihan and Ju Qiuming, who had come to the arcade on a whim and dragged their roommates along, they formed a five-person table.

"Very well! I am the lord!"

Fu Feihan pulled out a card from beside him and then revealed his general.

Perhaps due to a newbie buff, he drew a divine general card... the only emperor in history to be deified.

The entire card face is devoid of any depiction of a man; all that can be seen is an enormous black dragon and a man sitting atop that dragon's head, who appears to be nothing more than a tiny dot.

God? King of the Black Dragons

Era: Modern

Physical strength: three

[Investiture of the Gods]: (omitted)

[Reform and Strengthen the Nation]: Once per turn, you may discard one equipment slot to summon a "Fully Armored Half-Owl" in your front or back slot.

The Full Armored Half Owl is considered a general with three health points. It cannot draw or play cards and is controlled by you. At the end of the phase, it chooses a target, and both sides take one point of damage from the Full Armored Half Owl.

Once the Full Armored Half Owl is near death, it cannot be revived. After it dies, you can increase your maximum health by 1 and recover 1 health. You can also discard one card to summon an additional Full Armored Half Owl. This can only be done once per person's turn.

The equipment in your abandoned equipment slots will be considered as kill/dodge.

[Royal Power]: Once per turn, when you are about to take damage or lose health, choose a target within your attack range and have them take the damage or lose health for you. The target can refuse, and if they refuse, they must give you two cards.

【King of the Black Dragons】: Lord Skill, Awakening Skill. When all your equipment slots are discarded and there is no fully armored half-owl on the field, you gain 【Devouring the Sky】.

【Devouring Heaven】: Limited skill. You gain all cards on the field, and at the start of your next turn, you can use the "Kill" card with no range or limit on the number of times.

(Hmph...hmph hmph hmph, hmph hmph hmph...)

The Black Dragon King emerged alongside the Nameless Swordsman of Southern Qin; they were each other's perpetrator and victim. However, their skills reveal who the world considers the victor.

The awakened nameless swordsman of Southern Qin is least afraid of team battles and having a good hand of cards.

However, in all accounts, the Black Dragon King's divinity far surpasses that of the Nameless Swordsman of Southern Qin, who is simply strong in group battles. But in reality, few truly understand the extent of his strength. Unlike the Black Dragon King, whose reforms and strengthening of the nation correspond to his early ascension to power, the killing of a large number of people, and the creation of the Heavenly Army with the nation's full resources, the Devouring Heaven technique also signifies his 'desperate struggle' and his desire to conquer the world.

Not to mention its groundbreaking "summoning soldiers" mechanism, which corresponds to the only "Emperor" in history to be deified. Although it may not be able to defeat the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin in a real fight, its divinity is indeed much stronger.

This thing is incredibly difficult to play as the lord... If it weren't the lord, you could probably kill it before it even summons monsters. But since it's the lord, once it summons a monster at the start of the game, it's almost impossible to kill it instantly.

What's even more crucial is that the nameless swordsman from Southern Qin who can counter this thing is almost entirely tied to the identity of a loyal subject.

Chapter Forty-Six: The Way of Repentance (Serialized)

Looking at his traitor identity card, Ying Qin Guan felt the pressure mounting on him.

Come forth, noble Ring of Truth! Let them know what it means to break one finger rather than injure all ten! Then, the alien race will unleash its full power, kill its allies, replenish its cards, and end the battle with a triple kill! This is the faith of the Inka people!

Ying Qin Guan, like a gambling god manipulating poker, carefully stacked two general cards together, gently shifting them apart little by little.

The character "神" (god) appears in the upper left corner.

"!!"

Although Ying Qin Guan played cards poorly, his luck was unparalleled. He drew divine generals in 1v1 battles every day, making Jiu Yi completely helpless.

Unfortunately... this isn't the Ring of Truth, but... it just so happens to be a magician who has achieved godhood.

Within the card, flames raged endlessly, and a person stood with their back to the endless fire, their shadow transforming into the shape of a demon under the flames' illumination.

[God? Burning Demon]

Era: Ancient

Physical strength: four

[Investiture of the Gods]: (omitted)

【Inferno】: Locked skill. All damage you deal is considered fire damage. For every point of fire damage you deal, you gain a 'Burnout' marker. If the damage itself is fire damage, you gain an additional 'Burnout' marker.

【Burning the Nation】: During your turn, you may discard two 'Burnout' tokens and choose a target to disable one of their skills this turn. If you do so, you draw two cards and treat it as a virtual kill that does not count towards the number of uses for that target.

[Fire Demon]: When you die, choose a target and make it take one extra point of damage for every fire damage it receives.

【Burning the Sky and Boiling the Sea】: Limited skill. Select any number of targets and distribute a total of x points of fire damage. If the fire damage distributed to a target is greater than 3, you must first discard 4 cards of different suits. x is the number of burnout marks you have. Fire damage caused by this method does not gain the "burnout" mark.

(Burn all of this...to ashes!)

The strength of this thing... you can say it's trash, but it's not bad at all; it's overpowered in every way. Just think about it, a single Fire Attack can disable a skill, draw two cards, and maybe even add a mark—the benefits are simply explosive. But if you say it's a blank card... it doesn't seem to be able to refute that.

If he had a strong attack, the strength might have increased dramatically. But he didn't have a strong attack... Even someone like Ying Qin Guan, who worshipped divine generals, hesitated repeatedly when he drew this card, wondering whether he should use it or not.

—When I chose the four-blood Nan Qin whiteboard, at least I had a dream, but choosing this thing...

The Black Dragon King is still a divine general, so Burning Kingdom can't be used against him. But choosing this item also has advantages against the Black Dragon King. His armor doesn't dodge, so as long as you keep killing, you can reliably farm Burning Marks and then take down the lord in one wave of Burning Heaven.

With this thought in mind, Ying Qin Guan no longer hesitated and sealed the Burning Demon.

Every Burning Demon dreams of "accumulating power for a lifetime to unleash a devastating AoE attack and wipe out the entire field," and Ying Qin Guan is no exception... Fu Fei Han saw a Burning Demon on the field and was hesitant to summon troops. But with the Black Dragon King as a general, not summoning troops was impossible, even knowing it would be a loss.

But what Ying Qin Guan didn't expect was that Xiao Fu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually an unreasonable blind lord... The key point is that he was right about the blind man. Before Ying Qin Guan, who was in the second position, could even make a move, he lost half of his life.

Ying Qin Guan draws a card.

Mad Blade, kill, kill, kill, kill, attack the horse.

(?o?o)??

Ying Qin Pass: The Will of Heaven, Difficult to Defy

He went on a rampage, then activated his special skill, crippling Fu Feihan and also blinding the number five general, Ju Qiuming, who looked like a loyal subject.

—Unfortunately, Fu Feihan has far too many peaches...

Nocturne, in position three, has completed her reaping—against Ying Qinguan.

Ying Qin Guan went completely into a trance, falling into a "AFK watching others play long, drawn-out games" mode—after all, his lord was the Black Dragon King, a strange creature that seemed fragile with only three health points but was actually incredibly tanky.

An afternoon later... Ying Qin Guan was once again kicked from his card-playing addiction. Before leaving, he swore to the board game shop owner with red eyes that he would never play this trash game again. "You'd better give up on the idea of ​​me buying a house!"

The boss petted the cat and smoked his cigarette, completely unmoved, and even wanted to recommend that Ying Qin Guan try his luck at drawing a couple of cards.

Ying Qin Guan stormed back to his dormitory, lay on his bed reviewing the situation, and became angrier and angrier, unable to sleep for most of the night.

-

No classes the following day.

Ying Qin Guan got up early in the morning and wrote down today's diary entries.

June 12th, morning.

The weather is sunny. I vow to stop playing cards and learn to find joy in life. I'll go for a walk outside the school!

He was currently experiencing intermittent bursts of ambition, but upon leaving the school gates... he felt somewhat lost.

He didn't know where to go or what to do. But as a player without financial pressure, he had many options. Ying Qin Guan hailed a taxi, pretending to be a tourist, and asked the driver if there were any fun places to visit in the Seven Luminaries Capital.

-

On the same early morning, some people can go out and think about where to go, while others have to get up early to work.

Yu Xietian yawned as he went out the door, but he didn't see Shen Xin in the Wan Shi Wu. Perhaps she hadn't gotten up yet.

He picked up the bread he had bought yesterday, spread jam on it, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it casually a few times, and that was his breakfast for the day.

"Time to get to work..."

Yu Xietian pushed open the door, jumped down from upstairs, landed steadily, and then ran forward quickly, but still couldn't escape the landlady's angry roar.

"Don't jump down from there! What if you hit someone?"

Yu Xietian pretended not to hear... He went to a church, walked to a building called "Confession House", took out a key, opened the back door, and went inside.

Inside the door was a partition with a small opening in the middle, and on each side was a microphone responsible for distorting the sound.

Yu Xietian put on his priest's robes, then picked up the "Open for Business" sign and hung it on the main entrance, thus marking the start of the business.

This job... is quite complicated. A pastor needed to go home to visit his family, but no one could replace him, so he entrusted the task to the Yorozuya (a general store/business). And what exactly did this job entail...?

As you can tell from the name, this job involves 'listening to other people's confessions'.

Simply put, it can be understood as listening to someone's story, and then, no matter what happened, ending with, "It's okay, kid, the goddess will forgive you."

— Don't try to reason with your guests. Remember, they paid for validation, not for you to argue with them.

Yu Xietian deeply understood this point, so no matter who he was facing, he could always say with an unchanged expression, "It's okay, child, the goddess will forgive you."

And today's guests... arrived very soon.

Chapter Forty-Seven: I am irreconcilably opposed to gambling and drugs!

A man sat opposite Yu Xietian. The small gap in the partition meant that Yu Xietian could only see the man's chest and waist... If he were shorter, she might even be able to see his chin.

The partition and the microphone that distorts the sound are all designed to allow consumers to confess with peace of mind, without worrying about being recognized in public.

"A confessional... I don't know if I should confess..."

A distorted voice came from the other end. Yu Xietian, being extremely professional, said, "Sir, if you don't understand, you can speak up. The Confession House exists precisely for this purpose."

The person opposite sighed deeply and said, "Actually... I have a bad habit. I know it's bad, but I can't quit it."

Yu Xietian's brain was working at high speed.

What are some hobbies that you know are bad but still can't quit? Yoshiwara, cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, drugs?
