Chapter 673 Hosting Work
"Most of the current talisman schools have strong backgrounds, either they have connections above them or they have large financial groups backing them up.

“For example, the schools such as Mingxia, Haoxia, and Renxia that have emerged in the past two or three decades were originally unknown, but were later acquired by a group and invested with huge amounts of money. Only then did they rise rapidly, enter the top 100, and even become number one.

"But this path to success is not something that ordinary schools can replicate. It was only after I became a principal that I realized how difficult it is to be a principal. I have no money and no people. I also have to deal with various forces and various chores on a daily basis. I have no time to study talismans and improve teaching standards."

Sheng Tongwen said, "Besides, I am getting older, so I handed over the position of principal to someone else after working for a few years. However, I was not idle at home, and I reviewed my experience in running schools over the years.

“I have compiled it into text and published it in the newspaper, hoping it can help others, and I am still thinking about how to run a school.

“It wasn’t until I read about Houde in the newspaper that I discovered that a school that was ranked at the bottom of the list had defeated Lingnan and Xiayin in less than a month and entered the top 100 of the Ministry of Education’s ranking.

"So I became very interested in Houde, and I happened to hear that you were recruiting teachers, so I thought about coming here to see for myself and meet the principal who keeps creating miracles."

"Then Mr. Sheng will be disappointed to see me." Ma Lu said, "I am arbitrary, arrogant, and lazy. I only come to school to work one day a week. I leave the usual matters to Teacher Cao. I am not a competent principal."

"Principal Ma is too modest," Sheng Tongwen said. "People have different ways of doing things, but as long as it works, there's nothing wrong with it."

Malu thought this old man was interesting. He was an education expert, but he was not old-fashioned. He was completely different from the guy named Xu Shoujing he met before. So he said,
"Mr. Sheng, don't just say good things about me. You can also give me some suggestions."

Sheng Tongwen was not polite when he heard this. "I hope that Principal Ma can schedule fewer classes for me. I am also over 70 years old. It is really hard for me to take seven classes a day. I would be fine even if I could get less money."

"Hahaha, this is indeed the school's negligence. When Teacher Cao comes back, I will ask her to cut your class hours in half."

Cao Youyi was indeed very cruel. She did not consider Gu Peilun and Sheng Tongwen as her own people at all and tortured them to death.

Now that the traitor has been uncovered, there is no need to persecute old comrades anymore.

"Thank you very much, but there is no rush. I just heard from Principal Ma that the school will face the challenge of the hero next, and I also want to contribute more to this battle. There is no problem with the current class schedule at least until next week, but..."

Sheng Tongwen paused, but still expressed his doubts, "Principal Ma, isn't it too early for you to ask first and second grade students to listen to my lecture on high-level talismans?"

Sheng Tongwen actually asked Cao Youyi this question.

But Cao Youyi just perfunctorily said something like "This is a rare opportunity. Even if you can't learn it, it's good as an enlightenment." She also ordered the students not to use high-level talismans in front of the two new teachers.

Therefore, Sheng Tongwen did not know what level Houde’s students were at now. He did not even know what the point of teaching them so many high-level talismans at the rate of two a day was.

So Malu decided to give him a little insight, "The students in our school are different from those in other schools. They are extremely talented. No matter how difficult the talisman is, there are people who can learn it right away."

"Ah?" Sheng Tongwen felt that Ma Lu's explanation was not as credible as Cao Youyi's.

Malu didn't care whether he believed it now or not, he would definitely believe it after defeating the hero, so he continued,
"When I was cleaning up the disaster zone before, a student found several talismans in the palace where the lord lived. Now, Houde, when it comes to the research of talismans, no one can compare to you, so I would like to ask you to help study it and teach it to the students." Zhou Zuolin and others have been studying the Nine Talismans of Dragon Palace, and at the same time, they asked Sheng Tongwen and Gu Peilun about the parts they didn't understand.

This method has good confidentiality, but its efficiency is a bit too low. It only takes a week to develop one and a half problems, and the competition will be held next week. Malu hopes to speed up the progress.

After all, the effect of the first talisman is quite powerful.

Since Sheng Tongwen has preliminarily proved his innocence, Malu plans to let him directly lead the research work.

Sheng Tongwen also became interested when he heard it. "The talismans found in the disaster zone are interesting. Since Principal Ma has entrusted you with something, I will do my best."

"It's okay, Mr. Sheng, you don't have to work too hard. Just research as many as you can. With these talismans, we will naturally be able to win more easily. It doesn't matter if we don't have them, as we still have the home advantage."

Ma Lu said that he was not worried that Sheng Tongwen would leak these talismans, because even if Luo Xiangshi got the news in advance, he would not be able to do anything.

There is only one Houde, and the competition is scheduled for next week. There is only one week. Except for Malu who can work a miracle by drinking the Enlightenment Cola, it is difficult for others to make any targeted arrangements.

Moreover, Luo Xiangshi had to think about whether this was fake news deliberately released by Houde, because working overtime to research and teach new talismans a week before the competition sounded very mysterious and more like a smokescreen.

Malu had just finished arranging new tasks for everyone, and then he turned around and took a group of students to solve the new disaster caused by the refresh of the principal's statue this week.

This is a level three disaster zone, and its location is still next to the stream in the back mountain.

This time the monster was a red mist, hidden in the woods. It was very light at first and difficult to detect, but all living beings inhaled some of it to varying degrees.

Then they began to feel restless and irritable, with their blood boiling. They all became bad-tempered and would glare at the slightest inconvenience.

There were two girls who were usually very good friends. They flew into a rage and started swearing at each other and even fighting because one of them accidentally stepped on the other's shoes.

Although they were pulled away by other students, they became angrier and angrier. One of them secretly reached out and took out a talisman from his body, intending to use it.

But with the experience of exploring the disaster zone several times before, the students around her discovered it in time and pinned her down before she could make a move.

Afterwards, everyone realized the strange mood, and two students immediately took out the wind-calling talisman, calling for a strong wind to blow away the red mist around them.

Some people even took out a talisman to calm their mind and stick it on their forehead to calm themselves.

Malu was watching from the side. He didn't take any action this time because he mainly wanted to see the progress of Houde students in this week and the results of the new scientific research projects.
