Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

"Ha! Scared now?"

Shi Jie said smugly, "That third senior brother is also a member of the Zhu family. You were lucky enough not to run into him yesterday, but you won't escape him today!"

"Afraid of him?" Shen You curled her lip upon hearing this. "Let him come find me if he dares to do anything to me!"

Shen You didn't really take the white-robed apprentice seriously, after all, his biggest enemy now was Huang Yaoshi, and Huang Yaoshi clearly wanted him to learn the "Golden Snake Skill" for some purpose.

Now that he has mastered the "Golden Snake Skill," if that Zhu fellow dares to cause trouble, Huang Yaoshi will very likely side with him.

"Should I avoid his sharp edge?" Thinking this, Shen You sneered at Shi Jie again.

Shi Jie was speechless, so he could only point at Shen You fiercely and say, "You still dare to be arrogant! You just wait!" After saying that, he stormed off.

Shen You turned around and saw Tian Yi'er looking at him with admiration: "Brother Shen, 'I avoid his sharp edge'...that sentence sounds so powerful!"

"That's right!" Shen You smiled faintly. The boastful quotes from online novels in his previous life were not just empty words. Even a few random lines would be a game-changer in this world.

"Master Huang is out!"

Suddenly, everyone exclaimed in surprise. They quickly lined up in the training ground, facing the tall building in front of them. From the building, Huang Yaoshi slowly emerged.

"Brother Shen, let's go over there too." Tian Yi'er tugged at Shen You.

"Okay." Shen You followed Tian Yi'er and walked over slowly.

After all, he had entered Huangfeng Academy. Shen You also planned to follow the rules here and do the morning lessons with everyone else.

Before she could reach the other apprentices in green robes, Shen You saw Huang Yaoshi, standing in front of the tall building, coldly looking at her and fixing his gaze on her.

Shen You was slightly taken aback, and her gaze turned cold. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to stop beside the others, but to continue walking out until she stood alone in front of everyone, facing Huang Yaoshi above.

"Teacher Huang... did you need something?"

Shen You picked at his ear and said casually.

The apprentices in blue robes behind them fell silent upon seeing this. Some of them, who hadn't seen Shen You the previous night, showed expressions of shock.

Huang Yaoshi above also fell into an unusual silence.

The atmosphere in the training ground became so heavy it was suffocating.

Why is it so quiet?

A rough, booming voice shattered the tranquility.

Shen You looked behind Huang Yaoshi and saw three young men in white robes walking out of the tall building together. They were imposing and stood behind Huang Yaoshi. The one on the far left was burly and looked like a small giant, about 1.9 meters tall. He looked over with a curious gaze.

The other two young men in white beside them were quite different. One was gentle and refined, with an elegant demeanor, and looked over with a smile. The other was tall and thin, with a sickly pale face, a cold expression, and stared straight ahead, seemingly indifferent to everything.

It seems these three are the three white-robed senior brothers from Huangfeng Academy.

Once the three men in white had all arrived, Huang Yaoshi slowly began to speak:

"Yi'er, come here too, stand with him!"

"Yes, Master Huang..."

Tian Yi'er agreed and stood beside Shen You with a sense of unease.

"Xiao Tian, ​​he called you Yi'er and took advantage of you..." Shen You turned her head and whispered to him.

Tian Yi'er gave a wry smile, but shook her head and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Shen You could only purse her lips and say nothing more. Sigh, it's really boring to be the only mischievous student in the class!

At the top of the steps, Huang Yaoshi spoke again:

"These two are newly recruited apprentices in green robes, joining our academy starting today. You all already know Yi'er, and the other one, Shen You, is taking Xiao Bao's place... You two, please say hello to everyone."

Upon hearing Huang Yaoshi's words, everyone whispered among themselves.

The third, tall, thin apprentice in white robes behind Huang Yaoshi finally turned his cold gaze to Shen You.

Shen You remained fearless, coldly meeting his gaze.

Tian Yi'er turned around and stammered, "H-Hello everyone, my name is Tian Yi'er, I come from...from Tianjia Village near Rongcheng..."

Upon hearing his self-introduction, everyone fell silent, and he lowered his head uneasily.

Shen You snorted coldly and turned around, saying:

"Hello everyone, I'm Shen You! Hey you idiots, don't you even know how to clap and welcome a new classmate?"

"What did you say?!" The apprentices in blue robes changed their expressions, and one of them shouted angrily.

"Heh!" Shen You sneered, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to say that everyone here..."

Shen You thought for a moment, then changed the subject, "...They're all quite good-looking!"

The apprentices in green robes were momentarily stunned.

Shen You smiled and said, "You guys are all so good-looking and seem so smart, I love it here!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, completely confused by Shen You.

Shen You didn't say anything more, and turned around to continue smiling at Huang Yaoshi.

After all, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester, and he didn't need to offend the entire Huangfeng Academy just to show off. The legendary "King of Show-offs" only exists in anime, after all.

"Shen You."

Huang Yaoshi said calmly:

"It seems you've mastered the 'Golden Snake Skill'!"

Shen You thought to himself that Old Ghost Huang was finally getting to the point.

"That's right! I'm incredibly talented; I mastered the 'Golden Snake Skill' in just one night! It's nothing!"

Shen You smiled nonchalantly.

He heard a slight commotion from the apprentices in blue robes behind him.

The burly white-robed apprentice above and the gentle white-robed apprentice also looked over in surprise.

"very good."

Huang Yaoshi nodded:

"Since that's the case, I'll spare your life..."

"How long have you been practicing the 'Tiger Subduing Saber Technique' that you possess?"

He suddenly asked again.

"How long have you been practicing...?"

Shen You was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow arrogantly and said, "I practiced it for just one night, and I mastered it! Moreover, I've turned it into the 'Tiger-Slaying Saber Technique'!"

Shen You knew that Huang Yaoshi could see through her progress in cultivation at a glance, so she didn't try to hide it.

Hearing Shen You say this, the commotion among the apprentices in blue robes behind them grew even louder.

"He mastered the 'Tiger-Taming Saber Technique' into the 'Tiger-Slaying Saber Technique' in just one night..."

Huang Yaoshi gazed intently at Shen You.

Shen You suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait, what do you want to do?"

"I'll give you three days!"

Huang Yaoshi said coldly:

"Master the 'Golden Snake Skill' to perfection!"

"Wait...wait a minute!!"

Shen You screamed in surprise.

"I was able to master the 'Tiger-Taming Saber Technique' quickly because I have a foundation in using a saber. Look at the calluses on my hands..."

Shen You showed Huang Yaoshi his palm. The calluses on his palm, which were formed because of his talent as the "successor of the pig-slaughtering master," proved that he only had a special talent in knife skills.

"But I can't learn other martial arts so quickly!" Shen You argued. "I risked my life last night to master the 'Golden Snake Skill'! So you can't expect me to master it in three days; that's asking too much!"

"If you can't master it... you'll die!" Huang Yaoshi's expression was cold, and his tone left no room for argument.

"No, you might as well just kill me!"

Shen You raised her voice in frustration.

That old devil Huang is capricious and always pushes people to their deaths. He deserves to die!

"How about this, give me a month, and I guarantee I'll master the 'Golden Snake Skill'!" Shen You bargained.

After a month, he still had some confidence.

Huang Yaoshi stared coldly at Shen You, and after a long while said, "I'm only giving you seven days. If you can't do it, you die!"

After saying that, he ignored Shen You and simply said to everyone, "Let's begin the morning class!"

Upon hearing this, the apprentices in green robes behind them all sat down cross-legged and began practicing their skills.

Shen You stood there frozen, feeling only coldness in her hands and feet.
