Chapter 74

"What does His Majesty say? Have you arranged the holiday time?"

"I don't have any holiday time, but I do have exam time. Yes, as expected, there are mock final exams and mock final exams for training."

"And the final exams are arranged ridiculously. Some people take five subjects in one day, and some take two subjects in one day."

"It's difficult to choose physics and history. I can finish English in one day..."

Because the final exams were approaching, the physical education class was changed to a self-study class. The notice just sent by Zhang Yiwei was forwarded to the parents' group by Cao Sheng immediately.

Although the school does not allow students to bring mobile phones, high school students always ignore the school rules. The moment Cao Sheng forwarded the time and subject notifications of the three exams to the parents' group, the students in the back row who were surfing the Internet 24/7 had already seen it.

It wasn't long before the whispers spread throughout the class.

"Quiet, quiet."

Cao Sheng put down his phone and tapped the podium lightly. Those troublemakers immediately shut up out of respect.

The troublemakers at Lantai No. 1 Middle School were typical people who responded to soft words but not hard ones. During the few days Cao Sheng came, he established close relationships with them, calling them brothers, and then he persuaded them with both emotion and reason.

Chu Zhongyuan still remembers that once he was sorting out the piles of study cases in the corner of the office, and happened to meet the class troublemaker who was obviously unconvinced. Lin Ze was called to Cao Sheng's office because of his grades and poor study attitude. Lin Ze thought that studying was not important, and he had other ways out with his talent, such as e-sports games. After talking for two hours, he fell silent.

Because Cao Sheng did not directly say that he was unrealistic like other teachers.

He just listened attentively with an everlasting smile on his face.

It seemed as if the student in front of him was not a stubborn thorn, but was explaining a classic math problem written in the lesson plan.

"… Are you done?"

After making sure that Lin Ze had finished his speech, Cao Sheng put away his pen. He even wrote down several of Lin Ze's remarks in his notebook, fearing that he would forget them.

"Let's solve it your way first. You just said that you think your gaming skills are very high..."

Cao Sheng paused, "Then let's make a bet. If I can beat you in the game you are proud of, then you will at least pay attention in class before the monthly exam this month. How about that?"

Lin Ze thought with disdain, he had been dominating the game for five or six years, how could he be defeated by a math teacher who had never even played a similar game?

But unexpectedly, Lin Ze lost to Cao Sheng, a novice who had just downloaded the game in front of him.

In five consecutive attacks, Cao Sheng killed him without leaving a single piece of armor.

Adolescents value face the most, and once a word is spoken, they have to keep it.

However, Lin Ze gritted his teeth and said, "It's useless. I'm not cut out for this."

"Many people have said that I am not good at math, but I still became a math teacher. How can you know if you don't try?"

Cao Sheng's emotions were very stable. He was still smiling, not showing any disdain for the high school student in front of him, and even patted him on the shoulder gently.

From then on, Lin Ze never slept in Cao Sheng's class again.

Although he became a mathematics teacher at Lantai No. 1 Middle School with the task of CPA, Cao Sheng did not intend to treat his students casually.

Every student in the class has received more or less special attention from Cao Sheng in the same caring way, so at least in Cao Sheng's class and evening self-study, they have no intention of messing up.

And Boss Cao is so cool! I don’t know how many times he saved them from Zhang Yiwei!

The boys in the back row thought to themselves.

Chu Zhongyuan tore open a pack of tissue paper and was about to wipe his textbook when he suddenly heard a strange voice humming in his ear.

The sounds were like the screams of many people mixed together, accompanied by the long howls of some strange beast.

Chu Zhongyuan's eyes twitched and he wondered what this thing was. He turned to look at his deskmate and met Gu Qingming's deep brown eyes.

"You heard that, too?"

Chu Zhongyuan lowered his voice.

Gu Qingming nodded. While the students in front of him were not paying attention, he made the "something is happening" gesture to Cao Sheng on the podium. Cao Sheng nodded as if he understood. "Class representative, find someone to help count the study cases for tomorrow."

Chu Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly, and under the attention of all the classmates in Class 15, he pulled Gu Qingming and ran out of the class.

"Does this count as...saving the world in a sneaky way?"

Chu Zhongyuan suddenly realized.

"Don't be so sarcastic. The wind told me that the breath is over there."

Gu Qingming pushed his glasses and slapped Chu Zhongyuan on the shoulder. The latter pretended to be serious while using the en factor to sense the sudden mysterious aura.

"I hope it's just a mystery that happened to pass by accidentally..."

Chu Zhongyuan muttered to himself.

The corridor was dim during evening study, and every class was quiet. Only the occasional creaking sound of tables and chairs being moved could be heard.

In the quiet environment, even the familiar scenes that make your eyes sore on weekdays seem a little weird at this moment.

The mysterious atmosphere was looming, and Chu Zhongyuan couldn't control his mouth and began to complain: "I always feel that the situation in front of me... is a bit like luring the tiger away from the mountain."

"…Teacher Cao is here."

Gu Qingming sighed helplessly in the face of Chu Zhongyuan's wild ideas.

With Cao Sheng around, I'm afraid they are the ones who need to worry more.

As they were talking, they walked out of the dimly lit Huizhi teaching building through the side door and came to the main venue under the cover of night.

There was still a class on the second or third floor of the teaching building reading aloud the text in unison. That mysterious atmosphere flickered in the wind like fireflies on an autumn night, as if deliberately guiding them.

The two men didn't go far and finally found their location in the grass on the side of the teaching building.

The sound of crickets came from the grass. Chu Zhongyuan pulled Gu Qingming behind him, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to dive into the grass to show his masculinity and look for that breath. As soon as his left foot stepped into the grass, he came into contact with a pale face hidden in the grass.

“What the hell—!”

Chu Zhongyuan's eyebrows narrowed, and the fluorescent water tide rushed towards the face, trying to blow up the space around the other party, but was stopped by Gu Qingming's bare hands with his fingertips surrounding the wind.

"Look carefully first."

Gu Qingming took two steps forward.

"It's killing me! Chu Zhongyuan, you bastard! Do you really want to kill me?!"

A scream came from the bushes, and the next second, a young boy in a black and white pocket school uniform with messy hair rolled out from the green belt.

Chu Zhongyuan quickly removed the en factor and took a closer look. The person standing in front of him was not mysterious or weird, but Zheng Qiuji, who was said to be on duty to clean the sanitation area with Lin Ze before the evening study.

Zheng Qiuji's face looked ugly and his fingers were shaking a little. Only his pair of golden eyes were terrifyingly bright in the darkness.

"How did you—"

Before Chu Zhongyuan could even ask his question, he saw a black card in the other person's hand.

"Warning card for members of Ceob."

Zheng Qiuji grinned, brushed off the grass leaves on his body, and said with a stern face.

Just now, he and Lin Ze were cleaning the sanitation area outside the building of Class 15. The two of them were covered in dust and squatted on the ground for a long time pulling weeds as required by Zhang Yiwei. When they stood up, they felt dizzy and almost fell into the green belt together.

After finally regaining consciousness, Zheng Qiuji heard that strange voice in his ears.

Perhaps because he was closer than Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan, Zheng Qiuji could clearly hear the screams of many people mixed together, chanting a name in unison: "Weisequ Xijiabo!"

The faint roar of wild beasts in the background sounded to Zheng Qiuji like a wolf's howl.

So he made an excuse that he was going to the message room to get a missing study case, separated from Lin Ze, and followed the mysterious scent to the side of the building, where he found the card in the bushes.

As a result, it was almost ended and reopened by Chu Zhongyuan's supernatural power.

Chu Zhongyuan smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head when he heard that. He and Gu Qingming quickly combined their en factors. The blue-green light illuminated the small area around them. Zheng Qiuji showed the card in his hand to his two companions.

It was a dark card with splashes of red on it, like it was stained with blood.

Looks somewhat familiar.

"…This is a symbol of the sophistry of the members of Ceope."

The first time Gu Qingming saw the card, he realized why it looked familiar.

During the fortune-changing ceremony at Lantai No. 1 Middle School, when Lu Ze and his companions were searching for traces of the mastermind in Lantai City, they found this kind of card at the place where Sophistry had appeared.

Among all the members of Ceope, Sophist is a rather mysterious one. He has never clearly appeared in front of anyone. When he is about to do something that CPA is wary of, he will only leave a blood-stained black card to show his unique style.

"Sophistry... Why did he come to Lantai City again..."

Zheng Qiuji frowned. Ever since the fortune-changing ritual incident, Guibian had left Lantai City and had been stirring up trouble everywhere with the members of Keobe. Unexpectedly... he came here again.

"Did you guys find anything?"

The wind blew the leaves, making a rustling sound. Cao Sheng turned out from the side door, looking as relaxed as ever.

Seeing Zheng Qiuji's miserable state, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, have you already met the other party?"

Zheng Qiuji rolled his eyes.

"Boss Cao, take a look at this."

He handed the black card to Cao Sheng, who held the black card in front of his eyes, using the bright red en factor as a temporary light source.

Cao Sheng touched his chin and sneered disdainfully.

"It's about to start again, Ceobe."

The black cardboard flipped at his fingertips, and the next second, it was torn into pieces by an invisible blade. The bright red color inside flashed by, and the entire card was reduced to ashes by the spatial power and dissipated into the air.

There are more than just teleportation and condensation to manipulate space. Chu Zhongyuan is still young, but Cao Sheng, who has become a CPA monarch-level psychic, is familiar with all the methods of developing space-related abilities. He can even achieve the highest form of space-related abilities, Tunguska, through space annihilation, turning abilities into terrifying disaster-level weapons of destruction.

"This can be considered as a declaration of war from them."

For the first time, Cao Sheng showed a serious expression in front of his students, with his brows slightly furrowed.

It's already July, and in the place closest to the sky, the elite team of CPA will race against time with Ceobe.

"In a few days, your Uncle Lu Ze and I will have to leave for a while to deal with the provocations of these guys. You guys stay well in Lantai City."

Cao Sheng paused and said jokingly.

"Well, although I don't have much hope for this, why don't you just come with me to the CPA headquarters in Luosha City after the exam, so that when I come back, I won't find that Ceope's boss is in Lantai City..."

He waited for a long time for the three students to respond, and when he looked down, he found that several people had started to frantically tag Luo Dong, who was taking chemistry tutoring outside of school during the evening study time.

"...? You guys have decided so quickly?"

Cao Sheng's voice sounded a little shocked.

"Of course, Boss Cao, don't regret it."

Chu Zhongyuan and Zheng Qiuji shook their phones left and right, smiling proudly.

Even Gu Qingming quietly took a step closer to his two companions, silently showing his attitude.

"We are also psychics who have had many dealings with Ceob, and maybe we can help you and Uncle Lu Ze."

Chu Zhongyuan shrugged his shoulders and didn't dare to say the most important reason.

Are you kidding? Who doesn't like traveling at public expense? What's more, this is the Luosha City that can only be seen in textbooks!

"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back."

It sounded like Cao Sheng was almost squeezing out these words through gritted teeth.

He now almost wanted to borrow Lu Ze's special ability to go back in time and slap himself twice for being too talkative.

but……

With the ability of these young people to create miracles, perhaps he doesn't need to worry too much.

This time, facing Keobe's hunting and encirclement, the strong men of Luosha City gathered like clouds, no less than the siege of Guangmingding by the eight major sects back then.

The situation in the underworld is getting worse and worse. Cao Sheng, whose supernatural powers are mainly used to suppress the seal, can feel it clearly. He believes that other monarch-level supernatural users are the same. They must race against time.

With Bai Ke Lan and Jiuyou Mirror, perhaps the answers that he and Lu Ze have been searching for for years will soon surface.

A strange intuition told Cao Sheng that, even if things got a little complicated, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let the young people see the world.

Cao Sheng nodded for some unknown reason and missed the last chance to refuse.
