"name?"

"The prince of Tianmeng..."

The wealthy young man who had just rushed into the room had not finished speaking when his palm was hit by a ruler. He did not remember when he opened his palm, but the teacher wanted to hit his palm, could he still clench his fist to resist?

"Why did you hit me?"

The prince of Tianmeng was full of confusion. Did the teacher not understand him? He was the prince of Tianmeng. It would be fine if he just reprimanded him, but why did he really start a fight? Did he not want to save face? Except for his country of Tianmeng, all other countries were present. It would be a disgrace to start a fight under such circumstances.

"You should be beaten for answering irrelevant questions."

The prince wanted to refute, but was hit with a ruler again.

"Why is that?"

"It's disrespectful to the teacher, and you should be beaten."

The middle-aged man did not get too radical at all, and his calm demeanor made the prince unable to vent his anger. In this school, he was not in the right, and if he insisted on arguing, he would probably be sent back to his country, which would be really embarrassing. Therefore, he could only stand there dryly, and when the teacher waved his hand helplessly, he sat back at his desk.

"It seems that I have to remind you of one thing before the class starts."

The teacher was walking around the crowd, and when he saw her walking behind him, Shu Shuang moved closer to the desk, as if hiding something.

"From the moment you enter Ningshen Academy, you should forget your identity and just think of yourself as a student. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to continue on your path."

When the prince of Meng heard this, he panicked and immediately sat up straight, not daring to neglect it. Then, the teacher started the first class. Xia Xiao was very curious and followed his thoughts. The content of the first class might not be the most important, but it was definitely very special. Xia Xiao wanted to see how broad the teacher's cognition was.

"In the first class today, we will talk about the situation."

After walking around, the teacher sat in front of everyone, his back straight. Although the teacher is also a human being, and everyone has shortcomings and bad habits, he is a role model in this school and must demonstrate his rich knowledge and moral character. As for other aspects, I will talk about them later or after class.

"Ju, from ruler and mouth, means chessboard. Everything in the world is a game. For example, the extremely ambitious Southern Shang Empire disregarded the people and launched a war without informing them, making the people in the eastern border areas miserable. They exhausted everything to support the frontier as quickly as possible, but they couldn't even save their own lives. Despite this, Southern Shang still attacked Daxia. This is a game."

"Besides, before the arrival of the Zou Shou Church, the Great Xia Dynasty did not expose its full strength even if it lost a few cities. This is also a strategy. The Southern Kingdom and the Shelie Kingdom, as allies, came to welcome the Great Xia when it was prosperous, but hesitated to send troops when it was slightly declining. They are indeed mean people, but this is also a strategy."

Just two sentences, but it upset four of the seven nations. There were twenty people in Class Nine, eight of whom were from the four nations. Except for Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, who were more open-minded, the others who cared about the country all raised some opinions, and were even dissatisfied with what the teacher said. But the latter looked around, and no one spoke.

With some admiration in his eyes, Xia Xiao could not help but admire. This is the teacher of Ningshen Academy. The sky is high and the sea is vast, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed. The royal family, no matter how powerful, must bow down to them appropriately.

Xia Xiao always believed that only by standing at the most objective point of view can one analyze the most clear truth. If one leans towards one side, the results of the analysis will be different. The teacher's analysis was correct, but it offended some people. But if one dares not say this, what kind of teacher is he, and what kind of teaching is he?

"There are small and big situations. These national affairs are small situations. The big situation is not here."

The words were shocking. The Southern Business Empire had the ambition to annex the world. This was just a small matter? Would the big picture involve the wild beasts, or even the entire Great Wilderness World?

"Teacher, what is the overall situation?"

Qin Feng was born in a poor family and was very eager to learn this knowledge. When he asked, Xia Xiao also looked at the teacher. Is the real situation related to the black smoke? He vaguely felt that there was something fishy.

The teacher pulled out the book from his waist and turned a page. A complete map of the Great Wilderness appeared in the classroom. Although there were only seven countries in the Great Wilderness, the territory could be roughly divided into eleven parts. This was not surprising. But what Xia Xiao was looking at was the area in the south of the continent. The Tanghua Temple stood on that huge piece of land. Its name was... the tail horn of the wild beast.

"The overall situation lies outside the Great Wilderness. A black smoke is tirelessly impacting the Netherworld Sea, coveting the entire world."

"What's that black smoke?"

Xia Xiao had dreamed of such a scene, but the black sea and the black smoke remained a mystery. The only thing related to it was the old monk from Tanghua Temple whom he met in Wumin Mountain. He once told him that a wisp of black smoke broke through the resistance and came to the human world. Later, when he went to Rongcheng, he saw the indescribable powerful black gas. It seemed to be a person, but it was not.

"It's not clear yet, but it's very powerful. In addition to the Black Sea, there's also the Tanghua Temple that was created for it. Even though it's so powerful now, it still made a breakthrough a while ago."

The Black Sea was a defense against the Black Smoke, which was an enemy that had once wanted to kill him. The seal in his body was related to the Black Dragon, so did that mean that the creatures on the other continent outside the Black Sea were related to the Black Dragon?

Xia Xiao didn't turn his head, but glanced at the black dragon. If he was, how dare he enter Ningshen Academy so blatantly? This is not an ordinary human world. There are many powerful people here, and the vice president can see the existence of heaven and earth. But if it wasn't him, who was the one who restricted his perception? Was it a trick, or was he misleading himself?

"In the past, students faced many tasks, including bandits and pirates, and those who were causing chaos around Ningshen Academy. They felt that the most dangerous place was the safest, and that outsiders would not dare to attack, but would be defeated by us. But your class may be involved in this game. The chessboard is crisscrossed and difficult to play."

Finally someone took the initiative to mention the Black Sea. Xia Xiao was a little excited, but the teacher only knew this much, not even as much as he did. But in this Ningshen Academy, Xia Xiao felt that he could learn something. At least he would not be idle all day and only practice so monotonously.

One class, one hour.

After the teacher left, everyone relaxed. The prince of Tianmeng Kingdom, who was standing behind the school, was finally able to sit down.

Many people had never felt such a serious atmosphere. But when they were relaxing, Shu Shuang handed Xia Xiao a small box.

There was no hole in the desk, so Shu Shuang kept it on her lap for an hour. She wanted to put it aside, but in the serious classroom, that seemed a bit inappropriate. So she kept hiding it, like a little squirrel hiding pine cones, not wanting others to find it.

"Prepared for you."

She always gave Xia Xiao a beautiful feeling. After opening it, there were some small rice balls. Now it was a little cold, but it was still delicious and cute.

How long will it take to prepare? Xia Xiao could not guess that Shu Shuang had already gotten up to prepare while he was still sleeping. Instead of sleeping for a while, it would be better to prepare some delicious breakfast for Xia Xiao.

While flipping through the only book he was given, he ate rice balls, and the smell of books and rice was delicious. Xia Xiao had never experienced this kind of life before. He heard what he wanted to hear, and the people around him were also the people he wanted to see.

Shu Shuang was free, so she picked up a pen and wrote a hairpin flower. Her beautiful handwriting attracted the attention of several people, but she was not moved by it. Other people's praise was of no use to Shu Shuang, but Xia Xiao's recognition made her happy.

The same principle probably applies to women dressing up to please themselves.

"Xia Xiao."

At the door, Su Huan and Si Qingling stood there without entering, but Xia Xiao quickly stuffed the rice balls into his mouths and stood up with Shu Shuang.

There was a quarter-hour break between classes, and many people gathered in the corridors across floors and classes, talking about yesterday and today. Su Huan's short hair was cool and cute, and Si Qingling was like a person from another world, attracting many young men. And Xia Xiao, whom they were looking for, had unknowingly become an untouchable existence in the eyes of many people. After all, many people felt that if someone was looking for them, they were popular, and if no one was looking for them, they could only sit alone and spend this quarter-hour of loneliness.

Su Huan and Si Qingling have similar personalities, both of them give people a sense of aloofness. But why did they come to see him now?
