“Do you believe me? I only need one sentence to make you lose your job!”
Yu Xiaogang, enraged and with a distorted face, said.
Director Su raised an eyebrow and coldly said, “I didn't want to bother with you, but you're getting carried away, aren't you?”
He knew this guy had a good relationship with the dean.
But it was one thing for him to freeload and do nothing at the Academy for so many years.
Now he even wants to interfere with the Academy's management?
How could he be so arrogant?
How could a person's skin be so thick? Didn't he know the dean's daughter-in-law utterly detested him?
“Alright, alright, alright, you don't believe me, do you? We'll see.”
“Wait!”
Yu Xiaogang uttered a harsh threat and then tried to leave, but Director Su stopped him.
“Now you know you're wrong, it's too late.”
Yu Xiaogang put on an unyielding posture, but his steps timidly halted.
It was just a moment of hot-headedness, angry words spoken on impulse.
To ask his old friend to fire Director Su, his face wasn't thick enough for that.
And the other party might not even agree.
After all, he had already been given an ultimatum, so how could the dean fire a Director for him over a minor dispute?
If Director Su hadn't called out to him, he wouldn't have known what to do.
Director Su said, “Since you've said all that, then I have something to say that I can't hold back.”
Yu Xiaogang's heart sank.
“How did you get the title of Grandmaster? Don't you have any idea?”
“You meet someone and immediately forget your own surname.”
“You never talk about your own name, so what else can people call you besides Grandmaster?”
“You can even forget your own surname, does your father know?”
Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in fury, his face visibly turning a shade of crimson.
“Shut up!”
Director Su sharply yelled, forcefully interrupting Yu Xiaogang, who had raised his hand to point and speak.
“Let's talk about you freeloading and doing nothing.”
“The dean kept you out of loyalty, and you actually had the nerve to freeload for so many years.”
“You really have no shame at all.”
“The dean treats you as a friend, and you treat him as a big fool, right?”
“A dignified Grandmaster, has he no shame?”
“Aren't you a Grandmaster? Why don't you step up and show your talent?”
“What, ordinary students aren't good enough?”
“Oh, ordinary students aren't good enough, but when a Genius student comes, you eagerly rush to them.”
“Do you even deserve to be called a Grandmaster?”
“What is a Grandmaster? Someone with Innate spirit power of Rank three, who can Cultivate to Spirit Emperor or even higher under someone else's guidance.”
“That's what a Grandmaster is.”
“You only focus on cultivating Geniuses who can reach Titled Douluo through self-growth. What kind of Grandmaster are you?”
“You, you, you…”
Yu Xiaogang, his old face flushed red, pointed at Director Su, but after a long time, he couldn't articulate anything coherent.
“Pfft…”
With blood rushing to his head, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth.
“Holy crap!”
Director Su paled in shock, his figure flashing aside like Gui Mei.
However, the office desk wasn't so lucky.
The desktop, and the documents on it, were all stained with specks of blood.
“Can't you spit in a different direction?”
Looking at the bloodstains on the desk, Director Su's expression was exceptionally grim.
“Just you wait, you just wait for me…”
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Yu Xiaogang felt much better. He pointed at Director Su and threatened him.
Then left in a huff.
He didn't try to argue, because he disdained it, or rather, he didn't know how to argue.
“Hmph!”
Director Su sneered, not taking the other party's threat seriously at all.
...
The phrase “A month for a staff, a year for a saber, a lifetime for a spear, and a treasured sword hidden on one's person” represents the difficulty of mastering weapons and also applies to the Douluo Continent.
The spear is easy to learn but hard to master.
It's simple to pick up, but to truly master it, if one's talent isn't sufficient, even practicing for a lifetime won't be enough.
The sword is similar.
It seems simple, but it heavily relies on talent, and even with enough talent, constant practice is required.
In contrast, archery is relatively simpler.
As long as one has enough strength to draw the bow and possesses a certain degree of talent.
One can learn quickly.
However, to truly hit a bullseye from a hundred paces, one still needs to practice diligently.
Only then can one maintain the feel.
Li Tian stayed in the military camp for three months. His sword and spear skills could only be described as barely entering the getting Started.
He showed considerable talent in archery, however.
He had already surpassed the veteran who taught him archery, truly being a case of the student surpassing the master.
From three hundred meters away, he could hit nine out of ten shots.
And these ten shots out of nine weren't at stationary targets, but at rapidly running rabbits.
To achieve this level with just accuracy was already quite remarkable.
One day, if he successfully replicates the Spirit with archery Spirit Ability.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
“Actual combat is the best teacher. Whether it's the spear or the sword, you need to hone them through actual combat. The actual combat here isn't like playing house; it's a life-and-death struggle.”
In the restaurant, the veteran swordsman was giving his final lessons.
Although Li Tian hadn't reached the level of graduating, after initially grasping the skills, he no longer needed to stay in the military camp.
To show his gratitude, Li Tian specifically invited them to the restaurant.
This meal would probably spend all the money he had saved up over the past three months.
But it didn't matter.
They had painstakingly taught him for three months, so spending some money was only right.
Over the past three months.
He, of course, didn't just purely practice cold weapons; actual combat sparring and Cultivate also didn't fall behind.
Now.
His spirit power Rank had already reached Rank twelve, and his actual combat experience had also greatly improved.
He was significantly stronger than he was three months ago.
Defeating the Xiao Family's Spirit Grandmaster-level guards was the best proof of his progress.
Perhaps seeing the results.
Xiao Chenyu was also thrown into the military camp by his father, which made Xiao Chenyu look at Li Tian with gritted teeth every time.
As if he wanted to devour him alive.
“Three teachers, please take care!”
After eating and drinking their fill, Li Tian and the three teachers parted ways in front of the restaurant.
After seeing them off, Li Tian headed towards Notting School.
Speaking of which.
The new semester was about to begin, so Tang San should be arriving at Notting Academy soon, right?
There was no chance encounter at the school gate.
“Holy crap, you're finally back.”
Wang Sheng and the others were very excited to see Li Tian and immediately surrounded him.
“You don't know…”
“Director…”
“That Grandmaster…”
Everyone chattered, one after another, explaining what had happened at the Academy during Li Tian's absence.
At the end of last semester.
Yu Xiaogang, for some unknown reason, had a quarrel with the Director in the office.
Xiaogang was so angry he spat out blood.
That shameless Yu Xiaogang actually went to the dean, wanting the dean to fire the Director.
Fortunately, the dean was reasonable.
He didn't fire the Director, only symbolically fined him a little salary.
Later.
For some unknown reason, the conversation between the Director and Yu Xiaogang in the office spread.
And it was very detailed.
The Director said that Yu Xiaogang had even forgotten his own surname, which was unfilial.
He also said that he had betrayed the dean's loyalty, which was unrighteous.
Finally, he said that Yu Xiaogang called himself a Grandmaster, but only wanted to take in a Genius who could reach Titled Douluo even by lying down, to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
This was immoral.
