Chapter 193 (Chapter 192) The hanging of the person may be late, but it has arrived...
As they were talking, Yan Shi had already entered the classroom and sat down in the chair at the front.
Although the classroom for practical lessons did not have desks and chairs for the students, it did provide the teachers with a very comfortable high-backed chair with a soft cushion, so that leaning into it felt like sinking into a cloud.
Yan Shi leaned back slightly, her loose hair falling over her shoulders.
The atmosphere in the classroom was subtly tense.
A moment later, a clear and gentle voice took the initiative to try to ease the situation.
“The course schedule doesn’t list the instructor’s name,” Zhihe quickly realized and replied respectfully, “We were just a little surprised to see you.”
After he finished speaking, he straightened his back even more, tensely entering a cautious state of "don't cause trouble".
After all, this is an advanced spell application course, a professional elective course with an absurdly high credit weight.
If possible, he still hopes that he won't die.
In fact, Yan Shi was also very nervous.
She suddenly remembered a blind spot she had almost forgotten:
She changed her classes.
Before leaving her job, Sheng Chunqiu prepared a theoretical lesson plan for the basic study of Eastern magic for her. It is obvious that the plan cannot be applied to the advanced practical application of magic.
Therefore, she did not have lesson plans.
So now the question is, what should she, as the teacher, teach in the practical course on the application of advanced magic?
Judging from the name, this course is about various techniques. The practical course can't be too simple and crude; it can't just start teaching people how to fight.
The classroom was quiet, and the bright morning sunlight streamed in through the window.
Yan Shi paused for a moment, then glanced at the students in the classroom: "This is a practical course." She nodded, then suddenly had a brilliant idea: "There's no particular focus in the first lesson."
“I’ll sit here and not make a move against you.”
"As long as you can touch my sleeve, you don't need to do any practical work. I'll give you full marks for this course."
Leaving aside the theory, once you can skillfully apply advanced spells in actual combat, further learning is just a matter of time.
Yan Shi's eyes lit up as soon as he finished speaking.
She's a genius!
There was a brief murmur in the classroom after she finished speaking, but then silence quickly returned.
Yan Shi: "Who wants to go first?"
No one responded; the students all kept their heads down.
Yan Shi's expression remained unchanged. He slowly took out his phone from his pocket, opened the Zhanzhou Campus Forum, and began searching for past practical course content. He added, "Once you're ready, just get started. But each person only has one chance."
The Zhanzhou campus forum was indeed very comprehensive and lively.
Yan Shi's own warning post was still pinned to the top of the homepage in the featured posts, but she ignored it without changing her expression, clicked into the search box, and entered "advanced spell application".
The page was instantly flooded with a row of posts, all with titles expressing utter lamentation.
[I thought last year's advanced spell application practice questions were difficult enough, but this year there are even new tricks. (Sigh)]
[Hahaha, I'm not going to live anymore. The advanced spell application practice never intended for me to live.]
[A reminder to choose courses according to your ability; never attempt courses that you have no chance of passing, such as advanced spell application.]
[The professors who teach advanced spell application just come up with practical problems on a whim! Please, let's see the students' actual skill level!]
...
Yan Shi silently browsed through the past, his expression unchanged.
The use of advanced spells seems to have a poor reputation on the forum.
Yan Shi curiously clicked on a post with the most replies: "[Compilation of past years' practice questions on advanced spell application in 'One Life to Clear the Game']".
Thirty seconds later, she also fell silent.
The post begins with:
"After pretending to be a corpse in the mass grave for a week, I decided to do something good that a living person should do."
The following is a review of the questions:
Please steal a dragon egg from the "Nest of Ancestral Flame" on Dragon Island, bring it back to the academy for evaluation, and then return it.
Please keep watch for twelve hours in the underground ruins of the old Demon City, without lighting any open fires, and record the changes of the Old Contract Demons that have not yet perished in the ruins.
[Travel to the Amikby Mountains, test your forging skills against the dwarves, and receive their letter of praise.]
The title is so despicable that it brings tears to the eyes of viewers.
There are even comments at the very bottom:
That year I barely passed, feeling like I'd used up all the good luck I had in my life.
But for a teacher, watching students suffer is actually an unexpectedly joyful thing.
Yan Shi sat expressionlessly in the lecturer's chair, scrolling through the forum with great interest.
After a long silence, one of the students finally stood up.
"Teacher, I want to give it a try."
Yan Shi looked up and saw Chu Mengfu.
After not seeing him for a while, Chu Mengfu's previously somewhat anxious and flamboyant demeanor had become much more composed, and his hair was neatly tied into a small bun at the back of his head.
Chu Mengfu: "Teacher Yanlan, please enlighten me."
Her pink eyes were full of eager anticipation.
Chu Mengfu was well aware that she and Teacher Yanlan were not on the same level.
Even if she was destined to fail, she wanted to try her best. She wanted Teacher Yanlan to see her efforts and know that she hadn't given her soft heart to the wrong person.
After all, the question only touched the teacher's sleeve, while Chu Mengfu practiced dark magic and was quite proficient in invisibility and stealth.
This is her area of expertise.
Yan Shi nodded: "Mm."
Chu Mengfu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and gradually subsided her aura. The dark spirits gathered according to her will and slowly spread out around her, concealing her aura, outline, and even presence.
The next moment, Chu Mengfu took a very light step back, and his whole body blended into the dappled light and shadow in the classroom like a shadow.
It disappeared.
Lin Cai looked around and realized that with her current strength, she couldn't even catch a glimpse of Senior Chu with her naked eye. Libertas, standing next to her, whispered, "Such amazing stealth."
Lin Cai: "Huh?"
"The control over spirits is exquisite, even the fluctuations during spellcasting are controlled." Libertas also closed his eyes and sensed the spirits in the air. "Even the shadow guards in my family can rarely achieve this level of stealth."
Yan Shi raised an eyebrow.
She was still feeling tired, and she leaned back in her chair, looking listless.
However, the longevity lock on her chest gave off a slight chill.
The entire classroom was filled with cheering and excited people gathered around her. In her perception, a small, obviously incongruous black shadow appeared among a bunch of blue light spots.
It looks just like a light bulb.
The scene was so funny that Yan Shi almost burst out laughing.
She didn't rush to expose him, but instead subtly moved her fingertips, gently enveloping the dark shape with a playful, lively touch.
Chu Mengfu never imagined that one day she would be completely exposed while stealthily moving. Even her mentor, Sharp, a demigod who also practiced dark magic, would need time to detect her stealth.
Just one click!
She focused her attention, minimizing her presence, and slipped into the shadows, moving swiftly forward.
Then, a tiny wisp of spirit grabbed her ankle, gently shaking her out of the darkness and making her reappear in the sunlight.
It was hanging upside down.
Chu Mengfu: ...
She struggled twice in mid-air, then resigned herself to her fate and relaxed.
How could this be?
Her life is a complete failure.

Yan Shi chuckled lightly, his voice languid: "Next."
Even Chu Mengfu, who was renowned for his stealth and invisibility through his mastery of dark magic, was like this, and his students were even quieter.
Yan Shi's gaze swept across the crowd. Apart from Lin Cai, whose eyes were sparkling with admiration, everyone else had their heads down.
Zhihe, sitting in the first row, subconsciously shrank back. When she felt the gaze pressing down on her, she took a half-step back without making a sound.
To be honest, he didn't really want to follow in Chu Mengfu's footsteps and have his picture hung in the classroom.
"No one else?" Yan Shi looked around at the students, sighed with some regret, and commented, "You lack a spirit of challenge."
The classroom was deathly silent.
Yan Shi: "Then I'll just call on someone directly. Zhi Heqing."
Zhihe closed her eyes in despair, then took a step forward: "...Teacher Yanlan, please enlighten me."
Half a minute later, another person appeared next to Chu Mengfu, hanging upside down with a deathly expression.
"Libertas".
Half a minute later, another person appeared next to Zhiheqing.
"Baidu".
This doesn't even take half a minute, just three seconds.
Yan Shi rested her head on her hand. She didn't know many students. After calling out the names of those she did know, she opened the list of courses Lu Jian had sent her and began reading them in order.
Within a short while, two rows of [items] were hung in the classroom.
Most losers look dejected and hang their heads, questioning the meaning of life.

When the count was finished, only Lin Cai remained standing in the center of the classroom.
Yan Shi looked over, paused, and then pointed to Lin Cai.
"Do you want to get ready?"
To be precise, is Lin Cai asking her future self to take the exam for her?
With Lin Cai's current skill level, she might not even be as good as the pile hanging next to the classroom.
As expected, Lin Cai did not make a move immediately.
She stood still for a moment. When she raised her head again, her expression was calm and sharp: "Teacher Yanlan, I'm ready."
As the original protagonist of a true shonen manga, specifically a dark manga version, he has experienced countless difficult challenges. Yan Shi is also very curious about Lin Cai's future strength.
Lin Cai stared intently at Yan Shi.
The first to gather around her were the metal spirits, crisscrossing her body like blades; then came the wood spirits, bursting forth with vitality, their verdant green spreading like vines beneath her feet; the water spirits floated quietly, gentle and slow; the fire spirits transformed into starlight, flickering between her fingers; the earth spirits were the slowest, yet the most steadfast, rooted in all directions.
Spirits of different attributes surround each other, balance each other, and generate each other endlessly.
Lin Cai, positioned in the very center, neither became invisible nor teleported, but simply stepped forward.
Step by step, he walked towards Yan Shi.
She hadn't disappeared, but the moment she stepped out, her entire presence vanished, melting into the air.
Even the water spirits surrounding Yan Shi were unaware that something was approaching.
No wonder she felt that Lin Cai, as the protagonist of a shonen manga, seemed to be everywhere.
Yan Shi seemed to be deep in thought.
He seems more suited to be a thief than Chu Mengfu, who specializes in this art.
Lin Cai's presence was so faint that Shui Ling couldn't detect her at all, and naturally couldn't accurately trap her upside down.
Lin Cai had already walked up to Yan Shi and reached out to touch her sleeve.
Yan Shi looked up and said, "Don't rush." As she spoke, she casually stretched out her finger and pointed forward.
The next moment, the water spirit beside Lin Cai was suddenly pulled away, and she and the spirit that had been tightly surrounding her lost their balance and instantly collapsed.
Lin Cai's face turned pale instantly, and she staggered.
Her presence returned, and Shui Ling noticed the abnormality. As if to make amends, she quickly gathered water, and tiny water threads wrapped around Lin Cai's ankles. Before she could react, she was lightly lifted up.
He steadily entered the long row of students hanging in the classroom.
Lin Cai: ...
She struggled for a moment, then relaxed and began to withdraw into herself.
She felt that Lanlan in her previous life was not this fierce!
He was very gentle when teaching her.
How could this be?
After Yan Shi finished teaching a class of students, the frustration of having to go to work vanished, and she felt cheerful: "You guys are no good. Not a single student in the whole class can be exempted from practical training."
She nodded, then added seriously, "So everyone needs to study hard, do practical work diligently, and practice more. As for the practical problems..." Yan Shi leaned back in his chair, pondering for a moment.
Suddenly, inspiration struck.
She recalled how eager Chu Mengfu was to participate in the floating auction in Novano Port, even going so far as to rob Master Meng. The final item up for auction was an admission ticket to the Floating City.
Yan Shi's eyes lit up: "Then please go to the Floating City, and take one of the City Lord's treasures from the City Lord's mansion."
