Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

It is worth mentioning that the form of alien races is not permanent. Some alien races, such as the Owl, look more and more like humans, while others choose to look different.

Generally speaking, the first children of the progenitor race and humans, the first generation of the progenitor race with the purest bloodline, were able to freely transform between human and magical beast forms. However, for various reasons, the descendants of the Hollows had very little interaction with humans and all reverted to their fox forms.

The fatal flaw is that these alien genes that turned back into foxes were powerful, and the foxes they gave birth to all resembled them. Over time, the 'monster' Snowflakes became extinct, and were replaced by the 'alien' Snowflakes.

Most of the alien races eventually transformed into human form, but a small portion remained as magical beasts. However, in terms of race, they were still alien races.

In reality, the Snow Fox is both a magical beast and an alien race. It fits all the definitions of a magical beast, but theoretically, it is an alien race.

Shen Xin guessed that Mu Nandong's reason for capturing the Snow Fox was likely to study its genes.

Mu Nandong is dedicated to researching everything related to the Primordial Race. However, researching the Primordial Race is something money can't buy; some things are strictly prohibited by the state. Only by truly joining the state's alchemist system can one obtain those forbidden materials. But given Mu Huai Ren's past, Mu Nandong is still a criminal. Furthermore, with the country now peaceful and the world at peace, Mu Nandong's personality has led to many enemies. Who would risk using him, the son of a politically incorrect deserter?

Thinking of this, Yu Xietian shook his head and sighed.

"Fear...this road is so long it makes you tremble."

Chapter Thirty-One: Son of Man

It was late at night.

Only Ying Qin Guan and Ye Qu remained in the living room; everyone else was asleep. But Gan Xing Yao might still be working on her manuscript, so it was hard to say.

Nocturne sat on the sofa, wearing a silver dress and high heels, reading a book facing the fireplace.

Ying Qin Guan sat on the sofa to the side, sorting through the general cards, muttering to himself:

"Where is the God of War? Where is my God of War...?"

Suddenly, Ying Qin Guan's hand tightened, knocking over the general's box. The box happened to be right on the edge of the table, and with Ying Qin Guan's touch, it fell to the ground, threatening to scatter debris everywhere.

But Ying Qin Guan reacted quickly, slamming the entire general's box back onto the table... but one general's card still floated out.

Ying Qin Guan wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he put the general's box away first. When he looked up again, a gust of wind blew in from outside the window, carrying the general's card to the side of Nocturne.

Nocturne put down the book, pinched the general card that was still in mid-air with his fingers, and casually flew it back to Ying Qin Pass.

Ying Qin Guan caught it and glanced at it... It turned out to be an event boss card that he had never seen, heard of, or used before.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but the problem is that this card... reminds Ying Qin Guan of someone.

The card depicts the back of a boy kneeling in darkness, gazing up at the sky.

【son of man】

Stamina: 3

Era: Age of Gods

【See the Gods】: Locked skill. At the start of the game, you can look at the deck once. After the game starts, everyone must draw a card from the top of the deck. No one except you can change the order of the cards in the deck. This skill cannot be ignored. If there is a locked skill that conflicts with it, then 【See the Gods】 takes higher priority.

【Demon Speaker】: You may declare the name of a card three times per turn. If you have not used this card in this game, you draw it from the deck. Draw from top to bottom until you draw the card you declared. Place the remaining cards back on top of the deck. No one except you can see the order of the cards.

[Hear the Secret]: Once per turn, when your hand has two or more fewer cards than another player's, if you can name all the cards in their hand, it is considered that you have used all the cards in their hand that can be used against them.

【Innocence】: Awakening Skill. When 【Demon Speaker】 has no cards to claim and you have successfully activated the Secret Listener at least twice, you can view anyone’s hand and deck at any time and freely change the order of cards in the deck.

(God...you have given me everything, but I give everything to people)

Ying Qin Guan had never seen this card before. Now that he saw it, he seemed to remember something and frowned slightly.

"Is Teacher Ying interested in this card?" Nocturne noticed Ying Qin Guan's state, opened her fan with a whoosh, and revealed her signature smile.

"Hmm...when did this boss appear?" Ying Qin Guan asked.

"A long time ago, this card was created by the Time-Space Killing Company based on a story passed down from ancient times... so it can only appear in event venues. Teacher Ying, would you like to know that story?"

Ying Qin Guan held the card, his heart filled with curiosity, and nodded.

-

When the sky was still a chaotic void and the earth was still full of muddy soil, the goddess descended upon a village called Origin.

A baby was born in the village. An old man lifted the baby up and said, “Look! He was born with his eyes open, and his eyes are deeper than the stars. He was born able to speak, and he is wiser than the oldest elder. He was born able to hear the will of God. Let us all kneel down, for God is coming.”

The crowd knelt in worship, and just then, the god appeared and saw the baby.

God has compassion on His people and says, “Man, do you have any message to understand? I have come here to lead people out of this place, and you will do My will.”

The baby said, “God, people must not leave this place. The beasts outside are more terrible than floods. Their claws can tear us apart, and their fur can protect us from the cold winter and the scorching summer. They prey on your people as they prey on the worms of the ground. We would rather go hungry than leave this place.”

God said, “Do not worry about this. All the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air will fear you. I give you wisdom, which will be your weapon to defeat the wild beasts as you would harvest the crops in the field. Build high walls and cover yourselves with thick fur to protect yourselves from the cold winter and the heat summer. Be fruitful and multiply on the earth and fill the whole earth.”

The infant said, "The Thirty-Six Calamities are not on the earth, in the sea, or in the sky. They want to harm us. Your people are the crops in the field."

God said, “Since this is so, I make a covenant with the thirty-six kalpas. The thirty-six kalpas of the past, present, and future shall not break their covenant while they are on the earth, the sea, or the sky. The thirty-six shall not have any children, unless they also make people willing to follow their thoughts.”

The baby said again, “God, look at your people before you. They are naked, starving, barbaric and stupid. If they want to go out, please teach them!”

God said, "My child, my light will shine upon you. May you walk on the road without bending over. Man should not be a slave to any creature. The only thing you can teach is to go through them yourself and kiss them, whether ugly or beautiful, old or young."

God said again, “Go, child.”

God has disappeared.

The baby is born at sunrise, becomes a child at noon, and becomes a youth at sunset, and will do God's will.

When the sun went down, all the beasts of the earth, the heavens, and the seas knew about the baby and said, “God, if humans had wisdom, they would skin us for warmth and cut off our flesh for food, and put our eyes and heads on a table for their amusement. If God were to help them, he would not be our God.”

The monster found the Thirty-Six Calamities and said, "God has abandoned us. Now you are our God. He has made us slaves to humans. God, please save us."

The Thirty-Six Calamities then disguised themselves as humans, sneaked into the village, and while the young man was fast asleep, gouged out his eyes, cut off his tongue, and pierced his ears, saying, "You can no longer speak, see, or hear; you are nothing now," and left satisfied.

People wept for the youth for thirty days, which alarmed God, but God remained high in the heavens and did not respond.

The youth was blind, mute, and deaf, yet his heart remained free. Though he could not see the world, he saw its past, present, and future. Though he could not speak, he could arrange the rules of the world with his mind, thus teaching people magic. Though he could not hear the sounds of the world, he could hear the voices of all things and understand their desires.

He created writing to guide people.

He led his people out, but died in the Origin. Before he died, he had three daughters. He wrote a sentence on a piece of paper to admonish his daughters.

"Man, keep moving forward. Though I am blind, deaf, and speechless, I have learned many lessons from it. There is no need to look at the thorns under your feet, nor to listen to the gossip around you. If a dog barks beside you, ignore it."

"People, do not be weak! God is no longer anyone's God. Rely on yourselves and move forward!"

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Seven Luminaries Empire's 'Diplomacy' Department

The next day, morning.

"Are you leaving already...?"

Early in the morning, Mu Nandong started packing his things. He had already gotten what he wanted. Yu Xietian went back to the mountain with the government officials. Seeing that he couldn't get away for a while, Mu Nandong paid the remaining fee cleanly and decided to go back to the royal palace first.

Ying Qin Guan was awakened by the actions of the government personnel. Seeing that Mu Nan Dong was about to leave, he uttered the above words.

"I remember the school bought us a seven-day trip... It's only been a few days and you're already leaving?"

"Yes." Mu Nandong still had that stern face. He said coldly, "I didn't come here for a vacation. Once I have the stuff, there's no point in keeping it."

"Whatever." Ying Qin Guan scratched the back of his head. He just felt it was a bit of a waste to turn back halfway. Anyway, the country was paying for it, so why not have some fun?

"But speaking of which, what's the deal with those two people?"

Last night, Yu Xietian came to see Ying Qin Guan. It was late at night, and Yu Xietian did so to avoid being discovered by Chu Hui and Qiu Fei. That's why he visited Ying Qin Guan so late at night. But since it was so late, he couldn't speak loudly. Plus, Ying Qin Guan's comprehension... and Yu Xietian's language organization skills had a few minor issues, so Ying Qin Guan still didn't quite understand the situation. He only roughly knew that the thing around their necks was enough to put them in jail for life.

"Who knows?" Mu Nandong said indifferently, "But being able to obtain Cloud-Suppressing Stones and seek anti-detached minerals within another country, they can't be a small organization, and then there's that naming convention of the Seven Souls..."

"Seven souls?" Ying Qin Guan was taken aback. "Aren't there three spirits?"

But he quickly realized his mistake and laughed, "Oh right, I misremembered, it's seven souls, of course it's seven souls..."

As Ying Qin Guan spoke, his tone became increasingly strained, suggesting that some people might be in trouble.

Mu Nandong didn't know why Ying Qin Guan reacted this way, and only said lightly: "Of course, this name can't be taken seriously. If you really want to think about it, such a name is easy to come up with. Perhaps it's just a clever trick to make the other party mistakenly believe that there is an organization behind them. Let Bing Ning's government have a headache."

Ying Qin Guan shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Two government officials approached Ying Qin Guan and Mu Nan Dong, and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, may we talk about what happened yesterday?"

With the Yiyun Stone in hand and the evidence irrefutable, and with Jiu Yi being the Dean of the Seven Luminaries Imperial Academy, the case was essentially settled, hence the two men's polite attitude.

Mu Nandong nodded with a cold expression.

The two government officials exchanged a glance and then stepped apart.

Ying Qin Guan followed the other person to the window.

“Mr. Ying.” The government official smiled and said in a low voice, “I belong to the ‘Foreign Affairs’ department of the Seven Luminaries Empire... This is a token given to me by the Nephalem.”

As he spoke, he took out a gemstone. Ying Qin Guan glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed a Nephalem item.

His expression remained unchanged as he said, "Continue."

"Based on the intelligence I have... you have demonstrated a certain level of combat prowess. Those two might make some guesses about your identity, making Bing Ning realize something. The Empire's intention is that, before Bing Ning devotes too much attention to this matter, we can let those two die silently in prison... Of course, the Empire's principle is never to force you to make any choices. So, do you want those two to die, live, or do you feel it doesn't matter and let the Empire make the choice?"

...Here it comes.

The Seven Luminaries Empire certainly wouldn't dare to, and wouldn't, monitor Ying Qin Pass—of course, the inability to do so is also a factor.

However, they were generally aware of Ying Qin Guan's intentions. According to the Empire's operational guidelines, they would not entice or force Ying Qin Guan to take any action. Therefore, even though Ying Qin Guan went to Sakura with the Yorozuya, the Empire essentially took no action... except to compensate for the destroyed house afterwards.

But that doesn't mean they just watched.

Like this time... the Empire probably had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. If Ying Qin Guan had held back a bit and only displayed a level of skill comparable to a Nephalem, he would have easily won. But Ying Qin Guan fought in a very convincing manner, which could potentially expose his identity. After all, in this era... only he and Kui Neng possessed this level of performance.

However, it's not certain that they will be discovered. The government has already obtained intelligence from Jiu Yi and Yu Xietian. Qiu Fei probably didn't see anything before being knocked unconscious. Chu Hui might have sensed something more, but it was only a few fleeting glances.

The entire battle lasted less than ten seconds, with Ying Qin Guan only participating for three seconds. She had been engaged in intense combat earlier, and Yu Xie Tian's shout had left her dizzy and bleeding from her ears. Under such circumstances, it was common for her to doubt her own perception. After all, the nameless swordsman from Southern Qin was ostensibly dead. To suspect a dead man and expect Bing Ning to believe it was quite absurd.

Yes, the key point is not whether Chu Hui or Qiu Fei thought of Ying Qin Pass, but whether the Bing Ning government believes it or not.

What do you think?

Ying Qin Guan shook his head and said, "I don't care."

The other person smiled and said, "I understand."

He took two steps back and left the place.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Himura Tanzakura opened her mouth, and fragments of her internal organs mixed with blood were spat out.
