“Yes, teacher!”

Chen Shouyi instantly went to the changing room to change into the protective attire. A few minutes later, he stood before the beautiful teacher.

“Everyone, pay close attention to my demonstration.” Upon seeing that Chen Shouyi was prepared, the beautiful teacher stabbed out with a sword.

Chen Shouyi felt that the teacher’s sword attack was somewhat slower. There was no suspense at all. At the next instant, his body slid smoothly and evaded the beautiful teacher’s piercing strike.

In the morning, he had just spent half a day in the Otherworld, so at this moment, he still felt extremely light on his feet. A sword attack with such speed could be evaded without a hitch by him.

The beautiful teacher was startled, her beautiful eyes glanced at Chen Shouyi.

According to her teaching plan, this shouldn’t be the case. By rights, he shouldn’t be able to avoid this at all and would be struck, ending up in a miserable state. After that, she would explain his mistakes in detail to allow all the students to understand.

By doing so, she could display her teaching standards.

But in the end, she didn’t expect her attack to be evaded by this brat.

After she regained her senses, she continued explaining, “Mhm, Chen Shouyi, that was pretty well done. Let’s try again!”

It was a pity that Chen Shouyi had no idea regarding the thoughts of the beautiful teacher. He hurriedly stood before her again.

But who knew that the moment he got into position, she instantly executed a Bow Stance Pierce. The safety sword whistled through the air, swiftly piercing forward.

Even before the sword stabbed out, his body already reacted instinctively. The muscles of his legs erupted, he glided 3cm more compared to before and once again evaded the strike easily.

Maybe because his perception had increased, his intuition grew even stronger. The moment his opponent acted, even before he could think about it, his body already subconsciously proceeded to evade.

The sword tip was one inch away from Chen Shouyi. But this inch was like the distance between worlds.

Every student was dumbfounded by what they saw; their hearts pounded rapidly.

“This is impossible!” The beautiful teacher’s eyes opened wide. Through them, one could see the great shock in her heart.

On the probing attack, things could have been explained by her being careless and not taking Chen Shouyi’s true strength into account.

But this time around, although she didn’t erupt forth with full force, she had at least used 70% to 80% of her strength. In addition, she had attacked before Chen Shouyi was fully prepared, yet it was evaded by him once again.

This terrifying reaction ability and instant judgment caused even her to feel flabbergasted.

Looking through the mask covering Chen Shouyi’s face, she could see his lips curling up in a satisfied smile.

“Good, very good. Chen Shouyi has done very well. Let’s try one more time.” Her voice seemed to be spat out from the gaps between her teeth.

She didn’t believe in the supernatural.

But no matter how retarded one was, at this moment, everyone could feel that the beautiful teacher’s mood was somewhat not right. They noticed that her originally gentle and amiable face had an expressionless look on it, like guarding against a stranger. Chen Shouyi instantly understood something in his heart.

Therefore, he hurriedly braced himself and stood there honestly.

The beautiful teacher’s expression turned black. She didn’t even say anything and pierced out again, like a bolt of lightning arcing through the air.

This time around, Chen Shouyi suppressed his instinct, and his movements intentionally slowed down by half-a-beat. When his legs started to move, a ‘Pak!’ sound could be heard and he felt a numb feeling in his chest.

But as a result, the black expression on the beautiful teacher’s face cleared up somewhat. “This time around, Chen Shouyi didn’t do as well as before. Let us analyze why he failed this time.

“Firstly, he wasn’t focused and his gaze was sluggish. One must know that being distracted in the midst of combat is a great taboo.

Secondly…

Thirdly…”

Chen Shouyi stood at his original location with a wooden look on his face.

After the explanation was over, the beautiful teacher told Chen Shouyi to return.

In the following demonstration of body evasion defense and weapon defense, Chen Shouyi was no longer given the chance to go up to the arena.

After the lesson had ended, when Chen Shouyi was preparing to leave, the beautiful teacher suddenly called him.

“Chen Shouyi, wait a moment.”

“Teacher Wang, is there anything wrong?”

She brushed the hair on the side of her temple and seemed to find it somewhat embarrassing to mention something. “Actually…given your current standard, you already don’t need to come here to attend lessons.”

Chen Shouyi was startled and understood her meaning somewhat but still unhappily spoke, “But there are still many things I haven’t learned.”

The beautiful teacher blushed and continued, “You misunderstood. I mean your learning ability is too strong, and it would be a waste if you continued to learn the content I’ve arranged for this class. Every few nights when I’m free, I will personally guide you. What do you think about this?”

Chen Shouyi felt joy in his heart when he heard this. He had long since found the efficiency of the training class to be too low. It would be for the best if she would do this for him.

“Thank you, Teacher Wang!”

“Alright, note down my phone number, 1348392####. I’ll only give guidance to you for three nights. Just give me a call whenever you are free.”

Chen Shouyi hurriedly took out his phone and gave her a call. After that he spoke, “I’m free tomorrow night. Is it okay with you, Teacher Wang?”

“Tomorrow?” The beautiful teacher hesitated for a while but nodded in the end. “Alright, come over then. My address is Shanshui District, Block 12, #1201. Call me when you are there.”

…

After the lesson, he went back to the Otherworld. It was still afternoon there.

A pile of golden sand could be seen on the ground where she left the shell girl. Clearly, after he had left, she didn’t slack off.

He sat on the ground and decided to relax a little. All of a sudden, a thought flashed in his mind as he pulled the rope tied around the shell girl, pulling her back from afar.

“Bozhalakebaduo!”

“We are friends!”

“Puduo!” Turning her head, the shell girl rolled her eyes and angrily spoke.

Upon carefully listening, Chen Shouyi realized he knew these words. They were used when cursing others and roughly meant ‘bastard’.

Chen Shouyi didn’t mind it at all. He felt excitement in his heart. At the very least, they could converse now.

He then spoke again, “Pulalanzeyikaku!”

“I bring peace and friendship!”

When the shell girl heard this, her emotions instantly spiraled out of control. She pointed at Chen Shouyi with her tiny finger, unleashed a barrage of words, and even ended the speech by spitting on him.

Chen Shouyi ignored the behavior and wiped away the saliva. He then listened closely for a long time but still had no idea what she meant.

Seeing that her emotions weren’t too stable, Chen Shouyi had a way to resolve this. He immediately took out some glass marbles from his pocket and waved them before the shell girl. At the next moment, she fell silent.

He could sense that his words weren’t really appropriate to the occasion.

Hence, he took out the [Common Dialogue Used When Communicating With Barbarians]. He flipped through it and found a suitable short sentence.

“You look really beautiful!”

As the sound of his voice faded, the shell girl froze. Her eyes were wide open like she was thunderstruck.

After that, Chen Shouyi noticed a visible blush from her skin.

Seeing that it was effective, he concentrated and flipped through the book.

“You are really a kind-hearted young lady.”

“You are very hardworking!”

“Even the sun above our heads cannot be compared to your radiance.”

…

Chen Shouyi continued to look for similar short sentences in the book.

The shell girl had been living on the little island independently since she was young, when had she ever heard of people praising her like this before? Her face grew increasingly redder. Very soon, her body was like a boiled crab, and steam seemingly was about to come out of her.
