"Specially appointed teachers are a special position established by Pearl Academy. They are required to be under 25 years old, have a cultivation level of at least high level, and their strength must be tested by the dean of the academy."

"The purpose of Mingzhu Academy in establishing specially appointed teachers is to have these powerful mages, who are not much older than the students, stimulate their competitive spirit."

"The catfish effect?" Lu Cheng said.

Tang Yue nodded, "Pretty much, and this position has a special feature: it allows you to retain your student status and participate in the university competition."

Lu Cheng looked puzzled. Why did he sense a hint of conspiracy?

"You guessed right." Tang Yue shrugged.

"This position was actually created many years ago by Mingzhu Academy so that it could openly recruit outside help for the Academy Competition. However, after Dean Xiao became the dean of Mingzhu Academy, he felt that this method was dishonorable and abolished it."

"The role of specially appointed teachers has been changed to what I just mentioned."

“Your situation is special. I contacted Dean Xiao through my friend some time ago, and the reply I received was that you can give it a try.”

"so you……"

"Are you so sure I'll go?" Lü Cheng asked with a smile.

"If I choose to go, wouldn't you have wasted your time?"

Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. "Don't I know you?"

They've known each other for over two years now. Although she can't understand what's going on in Lü Cheng's mind at all, she's pretty confident about these things.

She even refused Pang Lai's invitation, so she definitely didn't want to go. As for why she didn't want to go, she could probably guess a little.

"So, what's your decision?" Tang Yue asked.

The specially appointed teacher was the most suitable for Lü Cheng. After all, she had already taught Lü Cheng the relevant cultivation knowledge of the intermediate-level mage stage in the past two years, and the students' courses were not of much value to him.

With the status of a specially appointed teacher, Lü Cheng can contact the teachers at Mingzhu Academy whenever he encounters problems. Moreover, Dean Xiao should be quite interested in an oddball like Lü Cheng.

"You've helped me to this extent, shouldn't I follow your lead?" Lü Cheng shrugged.

"Go to hell." Tang Yue laughed and cursed, turning to look at the shattered Bo City.

"It's too early for the wife to lead and the husband to follow, and besides..."

Working at the Inquisition is no safe place, especially with the Black Vatican becoming increasingly restless in recent years. She doesn't know if she'll suddenly die in the line of duty during the next operation, or what the future holds...

"Let's talk about it later," Tang Yue sighed.

"Something's not right about this attack on Bo City. The Black Vatican might have a bigger conspiracy. Be careful when you get there."

"With the Black Vatican making such a big move in Bo City, they've probably investigated the situation quite a bit. Your dragon... it's best not to release it before it enters Pearl Academy."

“I know.” Lü Cheng stepped forward, leaned against the railing, and looked at Tang Yue.

"You be careful too. If you get into any trouble, remember to contact me immediately."

Tang Yue was taken aback, her expression somewhat strange.

Lü Cheng's current strength is indeed a bit outrageous.

Even without summoning beasts, with his near-fourth-level mental strength and strange mind-based talent, if he were to launch a sneak attack, even high-level mages would have to kneel before him!

Moreover, her special fire-elemental domain talent made her immune to the Nine Palaces Fierce Fist, which she unleashed at full power!

Or rather, it was absorbed!

Furthermore, Lü Cheng's physical condition... is quite outrageous!

Chapter 50: The Azure Sky Hunting Grounds

50.

……

Magic City.

After settling Ye Xinxia in the hotel, Lü Cheng followed the address given by Tang Yue and arrived at Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

The transition from intermediate to advanced levels is a significant hurdle, requiring a vast amount of resources. Although Lü Cheng rapidly cultivated to the third level of intermediate level thanks to his powerful talent, he still needed certain essentials to advance to advanced levels, such as the Star River Vein.

To put it bluntly, they want money!

Everything costs money!

Tang Yue also took this into consideration, so she suggested that Lü Cheng come to Qingtian Hunting Grounds to work and earn money so that he could support himself and not always think about living off a woman.

However, the probability of accumulating enough money for the Star River Vein within a year by taking on missions is not high. Tang Yue's actions were merely to keep Lü Cheng away from that "aristocratic girl" (Ye Chang).

A woman's intuition tells her that the woman is dangerous.

"You're the genius my sister was talking about, the one who summoned a wyvern at the beginner level and was already at the mid-level of three elemental attributes at eighteen?"

As soon as I arrived at the door, a little girl with pigtails and an old-fashioned demeanor greeted me.

"You know me?" Lu Cheng asked, puzzled.

"My sister has shown me all your photos." As she spoke, the little girl turned to look into the store.

"Grandpa! They're here!"

"So fast?"

Upon hearing the sound, an old man with a pipe in his mouth came out of the shop and carefully sensed Lü Cheng's condition.

Spiritual power at the peak of the third realm?

A look of shock flashed across Old Man Bao's eyes.

Without absorbing any spiritual cultivation resources, how could one's spiritual power grow so quickly solely based on their own talent?

"Come in and have a seat," Old Man Bao gestured to Lü Cheng as he entered the shop.

“Leng Qing has some things to do recently, but she should be back in a couple of days. I’m her grandfather, you can just call me Old Man Bao. That child is my granddaughter, Lingling.”

"Leng Qing has told me about your situation. Do you understand the requirements from Mingzhu Academy?"

"Mm." Lü Cheng nodded.

"That's good." Old Bao took a puff of his cigarette.

“If it were a regular teaching position, I could put in a good word for you, but for this one, you’ll have to fight for it yourself.”

"After all, it won't do you any good if you get this in through the back door."

"Are you really planning to apply for a special teaching position at Mingzhu Academy?" Lingling asked with a strange expression.

Why would you be so foolish?

"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng asked, puzzled.

Does this position have some other deceptive aspects?

“Don’t you know? The specially appointed teachers at Pearl Academy must be ready to accept challenges from students at any time, and they cannot refuse,” Lingling said.

"Although the salary is high and the competition is fierce, the employment rate for this position is almost zero."

"To date, the longest-serving specially appointed teacher only lasted one month before resigning."

Lu Cheng's eye twitched. "What the hell?"

"I've been through so much trouble," Lingling shrugged.

"Which student at Pearl Academy isn't a proud and arrogant genius? Who can accept someone their own age standing above them? Pearl Academy has hundreds of students each year, and the specially appointed teachers have to face the challenge of all the current students, including those who are about to graduate!"

Can you imagine what it would be like to be challenged by hundreds of people in a relay?

"Besides, this is the job of a specially appointed teacher, so you can't refuse!"

"..."

"Aren't you afraid?" Lingling asked doubtfully.

She had previously met several young geniuses who wanted to challenge for the position of specially appointed teacher at Mingzhu Academy, since the position offered excellent benefits, even better than those of department heads. However, without exception, those people were driven to resign within a week.

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Cheng asked, puzzled.

No wonder Tang Yue recommended him for the position of specially appointed teacher; it was practically a job tailor-made for him!

His training in controlling his mind magic requires a large number of sparring partners—a kind of endless training regimen? Aren't they just lining up to be his guinea pigs?

"Weirdo." Lingling pouted.

"I warned you, don't regret it later."

"Don't even think about scaring those students off all at once. Pearl Academy has plenty of stubborn guys who get stronger with each setback. Besides, if you mess with a scion of a powerful family, you'll get beaten up when you're walking at night."

She had heard of several people who had been beaten up.

Moreover, being beaten up is a minor matter; some who went too far in training were crippled.

Although it can be cured, who can withstand being beaten up every few days?

Anyway, the position of specially appointed teacher is a huge trap full of temptations!

"The more setbacks you face, the more determined you become?" Lu Cheng asked with a strange expression.

"Is there such a good thing?"
