Chapter 550 Change of Face
The weather in Ningdong is still very cold in early spring. In the early morning in the mountains, icicles are still hanging on the treetops, which is crystal clear and beautiful.

Luo Jun arrived at the college early in the morning. Today was the ninth day of the Lunar New Year and most of the teachers and students were still celebrating the New Year at home, so the college was particularly deserted.

Holding the pancake in hand and munching on it, he walked leisurely to the gymnasium of the college.

There were already six people waiting inside.

Lao Miaomiao, Ling Xin, Lu Fei, Xiao Tian, ​​Lei Tianyang and... an unfamiliar girl with short hair.

"Oh, you guys are here so early?"

Luo Jun ate the rest of the pancake in one bite, threw the packaging bag into the trash can, clapped his hands and walked over.

"You're too late!" Old Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him, "We agreed to meet at 8 o'clock, and it's already been ten minutes."

"I bought a pancake on the way, which delayed me for a while..." Luo Jun scratched his head embarrassedly and looked at the strange girl beside him: "Who is this... I remember there are seven places in total. Isn't the last one Senior Chao Tianxiangchao?"

"Yes, you are a freshman and don't know her." Old Miaomiao shook her head: "Let me introduce her. This is Zhai Xixi, who is one year older than you. She is an exchange student sent by Ningdong College to Tianjing University. Normally, she is still on exchange, but if she wants to participate in the exchange meeting, she should still occupy the quota of this school..."

"Oh!" Luo Jun understood: "So, Senior Sister Zhai came back and competed with Chao Tianxiang and eliminated him?"

"Is there still a need for a competition?" Lu Fei said with a smile, "When Chao Tianxiang heard that Zhai Xixi wanted a spot, he was so scared that he withdrew from the competition... Before Zhai Xixi went for the exchange, he and he were both in Class A of the previous year. The boy has long been traumatized by the abuse."

"So amazing?" Luo Jun looked at Zhai Xixi: "It seems that I need to thank Senior Sister for taking care of me."

"I've heard of you, too." Zhai Xixi looked at Luo Jun with a smile, her eyes curved into crescents. "You're a genius boy who cracked the most difficult A-level mission in history... During the New Year holidays, the forums were flooded with news about you."

"Luck, just good luck." Luo Jun scratched his head embarrassedly.

Speaking of which, Xiayue Island had such a big event, Luo Jun thought it would definitely be on the headlines. But after a day, there was no news on the forum, and the official seemed to be unaware of the incident. They even had the energy to update New Year greetings and launched a Lantern Festival event in advance...

If I must say something, it was the news that a treasure was lost in Yingzhou that reached the country. However, this matter was not a big deal in the eyes of the Zhendan cultivation community. Apart from making everyone gloat over the misfortune for dozens of posts, the post was soon drowned out.

In short, everything was so peaceful as if nothing had ever happened... But Luo Jun knew that the thirteenth door of Xiayue Island must have been successfully opened. The fact that it had not been announced to the public yet probably meant that it was not stable enough, or that an official team had gone in to explore it first.

In this case, he is not in a hurry. Let's wait and see when the official news comes out.

"Oh, by the way, since Senior Sister Xixi is an exchange student sent out, there must be some who came back as exchange students, right?" Luo Jun asked curiously, "If she can exchange with Senior Sister Xixi, she must not be an ordinary contestant, right?"

"Oh, that guy dropped out of school within a month of taking over." Xiao Tian gritted his teeth unwillingly and said, "I challenged him several times but he didn't accept it. In the end, he went home for no apparent reason!"

"Suspend your studies?" Luo Jun asked curiously, "Who?"

"You don't know him even after I told you." Old Miaomiao looked at the time impatiently: "Really, all the students are here, why hasn't the tutor arrived yet?" As she said that, she took out her cell phone and dialed the number.

"There is also a mentor?" Luo Jun asked in surprise: "Isn't it Senior Miao who is leading the team?"

"Of course there must be a mentor." Lu Fei said with a smile: "For such a large event, we can't let the students take charge of it themselves."

"Then who is our mentor?" Luo Jun really didn't know anything about it.

"Who else could be so unpunctual..." Lei Tianyang shook his head.

At this time, Lao Miaomiao's phone was connected: "Hello? Professor Yu, you haven't woken up yet! If you don't get up, I will catch you in the bed!"

It really is that Awakening Emperor...

While Old Miaomiao was attacking Yu Qiudi like crazy, Ling Xin came to Luo Jun and asked, "Did your senior sister go back?"

Luo Jun was stunned, then nodded and said, "Ah, she went back. She wasn't originally from Ningdong. It was mainly because I've become quite famous recently, so she came to see me on the way and gave me some pointers on my cultivation..."

Ling Xin nodded: "What realm are you in now?"

"Concentrating the mind..." Luo Jun thought for a moment and added, "The first stage."

"I know." Ling Xin nodded and said, "I'm asking about your level of strengthening your foundation and cultivating your essence."

"This..." Luo Jun didn't expect Ling Xin to ask this, and he actually hesitated for a moment.

To put it too high, he has been in contact with Yuan Qi for too short a time. To put it too low, the strength he displayed is too strong.

"Five layers to strengthen the foundation, three layers to nourish the essence." Luo Jun thought for a second and replied.

"Considering the amount of time you've been exposed to Yuan Qi, this progress is amazing," Ling Xin praised.

"Hurry up, it's worth your life." Luo Jun said with a smile: "That time in Medicine King Valley, my meridians were stretched and pushed directly to Pei Yuan Stage. Otherwise, with my progress, I would still be stuck in Gu Ben Stage now."

Ling Xin nodded: "Then do you want to participate in the Tianyuan Conference?"

Luo Jun was slightly stunned: "Why are we talking about this?"

"Is it strange?" Ling Xin smiled and said, "Students who perform well in the domestic exchange meeting will have the opportunity to participate in the international exchange meeting. The best students in the international exchange meeting will get a chance to participate in the Tianyuan Conference. Anyone who has some ambitions in this year's exchange meeting will go for the Tianyuan Conference."

Luo Jun heard this and looked at Ling Xin: "You too?"

Ling Xin nodded: "Of course I want to prove myself, so I want to know, what do you think?"

"I..." Luo Jun thought of the prizes of the Tianyuan Conference, the kiss of the goddess of life that could heal everything, and Wan Guiyuan's instructions to him... This Tianyuan Conference was no longer a question of what he thought, he had to go!
"Of course I want to participate too!" Luo Jun nodded.

"Then you have to work hard." Ling Xin smiled slightly: "Don't slack off and avoid training."

"Eh?" Luo Jun was slightly stunned: "Where do I start..."

Before he finished speaking, a lazy female voice came from the door.

"Morning, classmates...ahhhh...hello..." Everyone turned their heads and saw a horse standing at the entrance of the stadium. On the horse's back was a big furry hamster. A slender hand stretched out from the fur to greet everyone.

"What is this..." Everyone was just wondering, but Old Miaomiao had already walked up angrily and pulled the hamster off the horse's back. It turned out to be Yu Qiudi, who was still wearing animal pajamas.

"Professor Yu!" Old Miaomiao said angrily, "There are only ten days left before the exchange meeting. We can't slack off!"

"That's your exchange meeting, what does it have to do with me..." Yu Qiudi started mumbling before he fully opened his eyes.

"Of course it's related. You are our instructor!" Lu Fei said helplessly, "Besides, you were the best contestant in the exchange meeting ten years ago. Your valuable experience is an important reference for us."

Hearing this, Yu Qiudi finally opened his eyes: "Really?"

Seeing her interest, everyone's eyes lit up and they quickly began to compliment her: "Of course, your heroic appearance when you won the championship that year is a role model for us to aspire to!"

"To be honest, whether or not to attend the exchange meeting is secondary. I worked hard to get this spot, mainly because I hope to see Professor Yu's demeanor."

"That's right. With your experience, Tianjing University and Puhuashan College are just stepping stones on our way forward!"

It seemed that everyone's flattery had taken effect. Yu Qiudi also became more energetic and waved his hand: "Then follow me."

Everyone followed Yu Qiudi to the lounge with great anticipation...

…………

"This...is this Professor Yu's training method?"

Seven students sat in a row in the lounge. Opposite them was a TV, which was playing a video of Yu Qiudi's competition ten years ago. Yu Qiudi was lying on a bench behind them, with snot bubbles blowing from his nose.

"This is not the experience we are talking about!" Old Miaomiao roared and pulled Yu Qiudi up: "You must train us well today!"

While they were arguing, the door to the lounge opened and a tall figure walked in. He was slightly startled when he saw the scene in the room:
"What are you doing?"

Everyone looked up and found that it was Tie Jingang who came in, and they immediately felt tears welling up in their eyes.

"Finally...finally a reliable teacher has arrived!"

"Professor Tie, please be our instructor!"

After listening to everyone's complaints, Tie Jingang sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just the teacher on duty today, and I came to visit you... Professor Yu was decided to be your instructor at the meeting, and I can't take over."

"Why is this happening?" Several students looked regretful.

"Although I can't directly guide you..." Tie Jingang raised his hand to suppress everyone's dissatisfaction: "However, I have a way to cheer up Professor Yu."

"Ah?" The students were full of disbelief: "I would rather believe that you can convince the dean to change the instructor than believe that you can make Professor Yu take responsibility."

“Just watch me!” Tie Jin rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the hamster by the back of its neck, and dragged Yu Qiudi out of the lounge. Then he heard silence outside the door for a few seconds, and then suddenly a sharp voice rang out: “No… don’t… that’s absolutely not possible!”

"It's Professor Yu's voice!" Lu Fei widened his eyes.

"What on earth happened?" Lei Tianyang was also shocked.

"I've never heard Professor Yu have such a high voice!" Old Miaomiao's three views were also refreshed.

After the scream, the door opened and Tie Jingang and Yu Qiudi walked in. What was different from the past was that Yu Qiudi walked back by herself, with her face slightly flushed.

Everyone looked at this scene with ambiguous expressions. Xiao Tian said directly: "Professor Tie, even if it's for us, you can't act like a hooligan!"

"Who is being a hooligan?" Tie Jingang cursed, then looked at Yu Qiudi and laughed, "People always have some pasts that they don't want to recall. Sometimes it's a topic of conversation, and sometimes it's a handle..."

“Stop talking!” Yu Qiudi glared at Tie Jingang: “After all these years, you still remember…”

Tie Jingang laughed and said, "I was your teacher back then. Besides that incident, I also know..."

“Shut up!” Yu Qiudi immediately summoned a gorilla and covered Tie Jingang’s mouth: “Okay, I get it… I will work hard to train them, you go back to your duty!”

Tie Jingang chuckled: "Don't slack off."

After he left, Yu Qiudi turned around and swept the students in the room with an unprecedented cold gaze: "You asked for this... I'll be frank with you, if you can't stand it, don't ask me to show mercy!"

After hearing this, for some reason, the few people who were originally gloating over the misfortune shuddered for no reason...

In the following days, Yu Qiudi seemed to be a different person. He never dozed off during training and was even unusually diligent. He assigned excessive training tasks to everyone every day. If they slacked off, they would be punished in various ways. He even conjured up two whipping demons as instructors. Once they found a problem, they would hit them with the flaming whips. It didn't seem like training students at all, but more like treating enemies on the battlefield. It was hard to say whether there was a bit of revenge in this...

Under such horrible hellish training, the students complained bitterly every day. They were originally dissatisfied with Yu Qiudi's laxity, but now they missed the sleepy Professor Yu...

What’s even more terrifying is that with the abundant supply of materials provided by the academy, even if you are tortured and bruised all over during the day, your muscles are sore, and your last bit of vitality is squeezed out, you can be fully revived in one night and continue to face the next day’s hellish training in the best condition.

If we have to say who is the most relaxed among the crowd, it would be Luo Jun.

Yu Qiudi was very serious about this and made a very detailed training plan. She even differentiated the training content and intensity according to different people's realms and abilities. Even a master like Ling Xin, whose strength was not inferior to that of the professor, was tortured by her training.

But only Luo Jun, his apparent realm and real strength are a bit far apart. He can complete general training easily. When it is necessary to conduct ability training, he will take the torture for him, and he will hide away and feel relaxed and comfortable.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the date of the exchange meeting was approaching. In order to let the students who had been undergoing the devilish training for more than ten days relax, Yu Qiudi gave them a day off on the last day.

If it were in the past, students would definitely question whether Professor Yu wanted to be lazy. But now, when everyone heard the news, they felt like they had been pardoned and wanted to kowtow to Professor Yu.

After getting the vacation, Luo Jun did not stay in the school dormitory, but returned to his home in the city center, packed up simply, and went out in disguise.

Today was the day when the Yuanqiang Black Market opened. Luo Jun originally wanted to ask Ling Xin to go with him, but even the Golden Blade Witch had no energy left after Yu Qiudi's devilish training, so she told him directly how to enter the black market this time and let him go by himself...
